The new paper at st. Martinville,
The Review, takes umbrage un-
necessarily at The Chiefs casual
and unbiased remark that three
papers for town the size of st.
Martinville is at least one too
many, and it will probably be but
q short time ere one of them goes
to the wall" This expression of
opinion, which will be endorsed BY
every practical newspaper man
familiar with the situation, was not
leveled at The Review any more
than The Messenger or The Evang-
line, and cannot be fairly cohstro-
ed as reflection upon the merits
of the newcomer, particularly as
our statement was preceded by the
remark that 1--WE have not yet seen
a copy of the latest aspirant for
public favor" The Messenger ac-
cepts the comment of The Chief
in the true sense and says: BRO
ther Bently is somewhat right in
his remarks. st. Martinviile is not
large enough to support three pa
pers and make them paying insti-
tutions." Unless somebody has
surplus cash or credit enough to
run paper ''for the fun of the
thing" at least one of the three
must, as we have remarked, "go
the WALL" Which the unfortunate
one will be we have not pretended
to predict. The natural law Of the
survival of the fittest will no doubt
decide the issue, and in this strug-
gle the new contestant has, for all
The Chief knows to the contrary,
az fair q chance of success as eth
er of its older competitors. Dom

The Thibodeaux Sentinel gives
the following excellent advice in
regard to paying the poll tax:
Don't have it said, fellow citi-
zens of the parish of s5eRrche,
that you are not loyal totfe inter-
est of your community. Don't
have it said that you do not care
who is selected for Office. Don't
have it said, for Gcd's sake, that
you are unwilling to pay your.poll
tax, thereby disqualifying your
self as a voter and trampling un-
der footyour birthright. In or
der to be able to vote at the COM
ing congressional and state elec-
ton of 1902 and 1904, if you are
under 60 years Of age. your poll
tax must be paid before Dec. 81
of this year, that you might pre-
sent your receipts at the next con-
gressionsl election, or else you
will be denied the privilege of vo-
ting. BY paying this poll tax you
aid our parish superintendent to
bring some of the people of this
parish out of a chaotic state OF
ignorance.
