President Mckinley has pardoned
the New Orleans bank wreckers,
Joseph N. Wolfson, Henry Gardes
and Walter Girault, who looted the
Union National Bank out of $780,
600. Gardes and Girault had
served part of their time in the
prison at Levenwortb, Kansas, but
Wolfson never was placed behind
prison bars. These scoundrels who
were the cause of running many
persons, should never have been
pardoned, but made to serve their
time. If it had been others, with
no political pull, they would have
stayed in prison.

that the New Orleans dailies have
struck oil. Never before in their
history have they had as many "fat

Some of their pages present the
most enticing bait for suckers we
