First principles" and go into the corn
field with hoe. The rains prevented
cultivation while the corn was small
and weeds came up and overlook the
corn. / see several others have taken
a fancy to hoeing lately, and are hack
ing away at the common enemy. One
can get close to the compliant with the
cultivator and root out or cover up n
weed IL 1t is not directly in the hill
and high as the corn. In that case
there is no way of getting it out ex-
cept by hoeing or pulling. In my opin-
lon it will pay to hire men (but mol
boys) at 81 day to get the weeds out
of the hills and rows where they can
not be reached by the cultivator.-Ex.

HOMZCZDES.

The Memphis Commercially
peal has just published some statis-
tics showing the number of persons
killed in the United States by their
feliow-beings. The figures disclose
a most alarming and reckless sacri-
fee of human life. The bloody
record Of the last decade should
open the eyes of good people who
may be stirred to renewed en-
deavors to make this a "Christian
nation" in reality as well as in
name. The shocking story of hu-
man slaughter reads: In 1890
4S78 killings, In 1891 5000, in 1892
1000, in 1898 5000: in 1894
10000, in 1895 1900, in 1896
oooo, and in 1898 10000. In a
table giving the annual average in
each State Louisiana fares neither
better nor worse than her sisters.
Louisiana's average is placed at
1873 Naturally the large negro
population in the South is repons1-
bic for correspondingly high per
centage of homicides in this sec
ton.
Ten thousand killings year are
enough to challenge the belief OF
the most pessimistlc citizen who in
stinctively thinks the world is going
to the demnltion bowwows at can
non-bali speed.
Surely it IS an abnormal! con,
dition of society which brings abou'
this appalling growth of the homi-
eide evil. As it's increase is MOI
confined to any State, the cause is
not local in character.
With the great number of churches
all striving for the Detterment Of
man, aided by innumerable associa-
tions organized to promote the best
interests Of society, and with courts
and officers of the peoples choice

Should the highest judicial tribu-
nal in the land decide that the
United States can not discriminate
against Porto Ricans, Hawaiians
and Philippines in the enactment of
tariff legislation the decision will
mean that in the future the several
million natives of those islands will
be guaranteed every privilege &C
corded the American citizen. If
Congress is powerless to levy tax
on imports coming from the islands
surely it will not have authority to
keep out the islanders, who will be
permitted to come to this country
and compete with home labor.
The Republican party was wont to
shed bitter tears lest the pauper
labor of Europe would cause the
American workman to accept star
vat,on wages. Now that the Amer
can laborer is threatened with the
degrading competition Of the Asia
tic. the &. O. p. has, IN its desire to
serve the syndjcates, forgotten all
abou, the former object of its soil
citous affection.

THE SAME EYERYWHERE
A negro ravisher of white girl has
been burned 1t the stake by a mob
Of infatuated Coloradans. This is
simply another powerful illustration
of the undeniable truth that Afri-
can beastial;ty will not be tolerated
in the North any more than in the
South. Wherever the negro is, at
the opportune moment he will give
vent to his diabolical lust and
whether it is South or North of
Mason and Dixon's line, or East or
West of the Mississippi, white men
will deal out to him summary and
condign punishment. The white
men and women of Colorado are
not going to rear their daughters
under the pure and chaste influences
of the Christian home and virtuous
womanhood to become the victims
Of Ethiopian lust. In this respect
they are not unlike their brothers
and sisters of Louisiana and other
States. The unspeakable horror
OF the CRIME arouses in the hearts
of honest men and virtuous women
everywhere the same feeling of in
discribable adherence and loath-
ing and wherever illal affection is
held at its proper value and virtue
Is esteemed the true basis of the
Christian home, the black rapist
will find death, inevitable, swift and
terrible. -...

LOUISIANA SUGAR Z
PROTECTION.
AND

On the Iath of next January there
will be argued before the United
States Supreme Court the question
of the constitutionality of the Law
imposing a tariff on imports from
Porto Rico. The decision of the
court will affect, favorably or I'M
favorably, the sugar and rice in
dustries of this State. Should the
constitutionality of the law fail to
receive judicial sanction, domestic
sugar and rice will be dealt a severe
blow. II the people of the coded
possessions have the right to enter
their products into the States free
of duty, it is clearly evident that
Louisiana sugar particularly, will,
III the course of time, be brought
into ruinous competition with the
sugar from the islands. OF course,
if it is unconstitutional to tax Porto
Rican sugar, it is unlawful to i'm
pose a tariff on Philippine sugar.
Already the Hawaiian product en-
joys immunity from any interfer-
ence on the part of the Federal tax
gatherer, and the American sugar
makers are threatened with So
called 'sreciprocity" treaties, with
the ghost of Cuban annexation
looming up in the background to
make the situation still more un-
favorable to Americans engaged IN
the cultivation and manufacture of
sugar cane.
The Louisiana Planter and Sugar
Manufacturer, one of the best in
formed journals on subjects per-
tanning to the sugar industry, views
the future with evident apprehen-
sion. 1t concludes an able edi-
torial with the following pertinent
remarks:
.'It would really appear that
while we have tariff on sugar
for revenue and to develop our
domestic production, it is proposed
to overcome or evade it in large
part or totally by reciprocity and
the policy of low or no duty on
sugar from our insular possessions.
If that is not an infraction of the
policy and principle of protection,
then we have been reading the
wrong version of the doctrine from
Henry Clay down to the present
moment -

FOR.

The Gazette IS informed that the
authorities of St. Martin parish
claim the right to collect taxes on
the property of Mr.. p. l.. DeCioue,
and other citizens living on the east
side of VermiIion bayou. We I'M
derstand that the action of S,
Martin parish IS basc'! upon re-
cent act of the Legislature. Owing
to Mr.. DeClouet's Discrimination 20
yield to the demand of ST. Martins
tax-collectOr, the matter has been
submitted to the court of that par
ish for adjustment
A considerable area of land is in
volved in this controversy, which,
if decided adversely to Lafayette,
will also entail the loss of number
of worthy and desirable citizens.
We believe the territory which
St. Martin would like to have, is, by
every principle of law and equity,
the property of Lafayette parish.
We are reliably informed that in
1879, when this parish was carved
out of St. Martin these lands we're
included within the borders of the
new parish and they have been so
considered from that time until very
recently.
The Gazette calls upon the Police
Jury to leave nothing undone to as
sert the rights of the parish in this
matter and not give up an inch Of
ground unless forced to do so.
Through the laissez faire policy
of former administration this par
ish was hoodwinked out of a large
tract of land and it can ill-afford to
spare more territory to increase the
revenues of other parIshes.N
AS it is, Lafayette is one of the
smallest parishes in the State and
| if this carving-out process con-
tinues, it will. in the course of time,
be an insignificant strip.
We are not lawyer, but it seems
to US that the Legislature does not
possess the power to take any por
ton of parish and transfer it to
another, without consulting the
wishes of either.

Those who wish to vote at the
Congressional election Of 1904 and
at other elections held in that year
should hasten To- pay their poll tax
ii they have no, already d""e SO.
We understand that the law relative
to this question is clearly that the
voter must show that he has paid
his poll tax for the two preceding
years.
This is very serious matter with
the citizen who values his privilege
Of suffrage. Nc man should be un-
willing to contribute one dollar q
year toward the cause of public
education. One disposed to do
less tor his country is certainly un-
worthy of being called an Ameri-
can citizen. 1t is probable tina:
some good citizens will overlook
this matter and fail to qualify them
selves as voters, but those, who, be-
ing warned, still refuse to make SO
small a contribution to the school
fund. are properly and justly dis
franchised.
There is ample time yet for every
one to call at the sheriff's Office and
pay his poll tax. The Supreme Court
has declared in the most unequiv-
ocal language that IN order to par
ticipate in any election in 1909 it
will have to be shown that the
voter has paid the poll tax of 1900
before Dec. 81 of that year, and
the poA tax of 1901 before the 31st
of December of the same year.
With SO plain an Interpretation
of the law and with the repeated ap-
peals of the press constantly before
their eyes; the voters who persist in
not performing this duty will have
themselves to blame for their dis
reimbursement.
Those who read and are informed
on this subject should tell their less
fortunate neighbors of the impor-
lance of Immediately discharglne
this obligation to the State.

CULTON ON H STAND.
He Tcstifes Against Howard and
Youtscy-The State Rests.

FRANKFORT, KY, Sept. 1S.-The prose-
cution concluded it's direct testimony in
the case of James Howard this afternoon.
Ben Rake. a stable boy. corroborated Bow
man Gaines as to seeing Howard run
from the rear Of the Statehouse grounds
shortly after the shooting. James F.
Daley and r. O. Armstrong testified to
seeing Howard standing on the steps of
the executive building later that morning.
w. H. Culton, one of the alleged cocoon
spirators, went over his former testimony
which indirectly affected Howard. He said
that Howard exhibited cartridges to him.
and also pointed significantly to a broken
paling of the fence. Culton says he asked
Howard what he meant by this, and the
latter told him to not TASK so many d-n
fool questions" This was the afternoon
of Jan. 30. Culton also said that the day
after the shooting Youtsey came into the
secretary of states office. He had just
received his salary as a clerk in the audi
tors office, and laid it down on a table,
saying: Il am going to take the number
of these bills. L am likely to be arrested,
and If this money is taken from me, /
want to have some sort of memorandum
of it,"
Culton says he asked Youtsey what he
expected 10 be arrested for. Youtsey said:
arrested"
The defendant will take the stand as
the first witness in his own behalf. He
claims an alibi, and the attorneys for the
defense say they will bring overwhelm-
ing proof that Howard was standing in
front of the Board of Trade Hotel, two
squares away from the scene of the trag-
edy, when the shooting occurred.

city and State had been looking forward
for many months, and which included the
presentation of tablets to
