DOESN'T WANT A CHANGE

The Donahsonville Democrat is
seriously opposed to the proposed
new opportionment of parishes to
new Congressional districts 1t
says
We are not prepared to speak
for the other parishes mentioned
in the Advocates plan, but so far
as Ascension is concerned, we can
truthfully say that it is well pleas
ed with it's present locality in the
Third District and has no desire
any annexed to the Sixth or to
any other District, but would pre-
fer to remain just where she is,
and we would suggest that some
other plan of appOrtionment be de-
yised whereby Ascension would be
permitted to retain her present
position in the Third District.

The cancellation Of brewers

less the amendment is reinserted,
as heretofore, under regulations
made by the Internal Revenue De-
paTtment.
We understand that objec ions
were made to the amendment
mainly on the ground that while
the proposed change would have
added little, it any, security to the
Government, its adoption would
have necessicated expense TO the

"A Social Highwayman" will be pro-
duced by the Lafayette Square Stock
Company during the coming week. 1t
IS another society drama of the "CharitY
Ball" type, but possibly verging even
closer on melodrama. The scene IS laid
among the fashionable set in New York
The play will be excellently staged, as

most artistic that have been seen in the

Social Highwayman," written some

The American and European rights to
the play are held by Mr. Richard Mans
field with whom special arrangement
has been made for the Washington
production. The story deals with the
criminal achievements Of one Courtice
Jafirey, in which is found the rare COM
binatioh OF a finished society man and
an accomplished crook. Jeffrey makes
use Of his social position to ply his
criminal calling, and after a series OF
daring robberIes almost succeeds in
fastening his crime on an innocent
fellow clubman, He falls In love, how.

The SpOoner Bill.

When this bill is enacted into
law in compliance with the wish
OF Mr.. Mckinley, the President OF
the United States will be invested
in the Philippines with powers not
possessed even by che Gar Of
Russia. His sway there will be
that Of an absolute despot.
With millions Of money, thou
sands OF appointments, franchises
without number and almost limit
less in opportunities, with the
power OF life and death oyer the
inhabitants responsible to no one,
amenable to no law, and with an
army OF Ioo, 900 men at his com.
mand, the possibilities for good or
evil with which the President will
be clothed are such as would make
any ordinary man shudder.
No previous occupant Of the
Presidential chair has ever re-
ceived such powers from the
American people. The eyes OF the
country, the e,'es OF the world, will
be strained to see what use is made
oi them. Upon their proper exer-
else will depend the veal Of Io, ,ooo,-
600 human beings in the Philip
pines. From their abuse will come
woe to these same human beings
and to the millions OF his country
men at home.

alike will wish the President
happy outcome from his perplex-
ing situation.
