INJURED IN A RUNAWAY
CHARLES KEEFE MAKES DARING
ATTEMPT TO cATca HIS MULES.
Aner Being Dragged About % Feet ne
Released Bfs Hold and the Nehieie
wheels Passed Over Him.


Charles Keefe. the dairyInan who
resides near the Bessemer stone quar-
ries. four miles north of town was
painfully injured by being dragged
and run over by his runaway mule
team in North Martinsbnrg SATURDAY
night. As the result Of the accident
he is now suffering with dislocated
ankle and a broken bone in his LETT
leg.
Mr.. Keefe was standing on the pave
ment in front of the general merchan-
disc store of A. T. Hess, when has
pair of mules became frightened and
dashed down the street He started
after the team and grabbed one OF the
mules by the reins. The frightened
animals soon jerked him OF his feet
and, after being dragged distance OF
about twenty five feet, he released ms
hold and the wheels of the VENICE
passed over his left ankle.
Those who saw the runaway We're
Mortified at the sight, many of them
expecting to see the owner OF the team
killed in his attempt to prevent the
mules getting away. After the team
had passed over him he was picked up
and assisted to chair on the pave
ment. 1t was at first thought that
his injurylwas only of slight nature,
but DIR. Sites, who was summoned to
attend him, pronounced that his left
ankle had been knocked out OF place
and the outer bone of his left leg had
been broken He was later taken
home in a team furnished by Mr.. Hess.

Push the Canal Bill.

!
After all the noise that has
been made, by those who really
oppose the construction of any
canal at all, against the Nicara-
guam route, the senate committee
by vote of Z to has reported
in favor of the Hepburn bill, pro-
viding for the construction of a
canal by the Nicaraguan route.
The four members voting against
the report were Messrs. Hanna.
Pfitchard, Millard and Kittredge.
1t need not be expected that the
opponents of an isthmian canal
will abandon their vigorous and
ingenious opposition to the meas
ure. But it is to be hoped that
senators who are really anxious
to comply with the popular de-
sire will permit no further un-
necessary delay in this matter.

There will be but one test of a
Democrat in 1904. Toe the line,
toe the line, saying to arbitrary
power and absolutism Thou
shalt go no further. We, too,
are in the expansion business,
but our expansion is for the re-
ligion of the Constitution no less
than for the religion of Christ
and Him crucified. Our expan-
sion means peace, not war; the
honor, not the degradation of
the flag; and just as surely as
Jefferson wrote the Declaration
of Independence and Jackson
fought the battle of New Orleans,
to resist despotism, shall we
make a new Fourth of July and
celebrate another Sth of January
in resisting this unrighteOus
scheme to abolish the Constitu
ton and Mexicanize the govern
ment.'

Women And Jewels.

Jewels, candy, flowers, man
that is the order of wOman's
preferences. Jewels form a
magnet of mighty power to the
average woman. Even that
greatest of all jewels, health, is
often ruined in the strenuous eff
forts to make or save the money
to purchase them. If d woman
will risk her health to get a
coveted gem, then let her fortify
herself against the insiduous
consequences of coughs, colds
and bronchial affections by the
regular use of DR.. Boschee's s
German Syrup. It will promptly
arrest consumption in it's early
stages and heal the affected
lungs and bronchial tubes and
drive the dread disease from the
system. 1t is not cure-aI, but
it is a certain cure for coughs,
colds and all bronchial troubles.

Lake Charles, La.

The Southern Vindicator rises
to sugguest a name in connec-
ton with the chief executive Of
fee. It says:
While the Democrats OfLOuis-
lana are talking about a candi-
date for governor, we would
mildly suggest that they could
not find a better man than Gen.
Leon Jastremski, the present
secretary of the governor. Gen.
Jastremski is a Democrat whom
we could support for any posi-
ton within the giftof the people. -
No more splendid citizen or
able Democrat lives in Louisiana
than the distinguished gentle
man named above. The Vindi-
Gator well and truly says that
General JaStremSki would do
credit and honor to any office in
the gift of the people. Baton
Rouge Advocate.
The names of several gentle
men have been suggested in con-
nectiOn with the gubernatOrial
nomination. There are MANY
men in Louisiana who would
make splendid governors. Fore
most among them is Leon JAS
tremski, an able, patriotic citi-
zen, who would fill with honor
and credit the office of chief ex-
ecutive of the State. Gen. JAS
tremski is a broad minded, we'll
informed man. Instinctively a
Democrat, he is in touch with
the masses, and being a man of
progressive ideas he has always
labOred for the intellectual ad-
vancement and material growth
OF the commonwealth. In war
and in peace, he. served his State
with gallantry and devotion and
should he be elected to the chief
magistracy it is safe to say that
the Democracy will have no rea-
son to regret that it has selected
him as it's standard bearer.

TO wv POL/|CS

Several Louisiana towns are in
the throes of acrimonious mu-
nicipal campaigns. AS is gen
orally the case in town politics
the one overtowering issue is the
e1ection of a constable, the Sc
lection of a mayor and council
men being merely incidental
Not very many years ago La
fayette was treated to biennial
revolution just because the peo-
pie were divided on the momen-
tous question of choosing a
policeman. Nothing will stir a
small town like the election of a
constable. Men who would look
upon the downfall of the Repub-
lie with stole Indifference, and
who seldom take enough inter-
est in elections to vote, grow
grandiloquentw when their latent
patriotism is aroused by a con-
test for the policeman club.
fractional politics is injurious to
the growth of a community. Too
much politics will hinder the ad-
yancement of a town. It is an
obstacle in the way of progress.
1t has tendency to keep the
people in constant turmoil and
renders impossible unity of ac-
ton on the part of the people.
One of the inevitable results is
the factious opposition of one
crowd to any proposition how
ever worthy emanating from the
other crowd. 1t engenders strife
among the people and prevents
the community from reaping the
benefits derived from the pur-
suance of a broad, public-spirited !
policy, without which no town
can hope to accomplish anything.
Too much politics of the peanut
variety will kill any town.

BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATIONS
RECOGNITION OF THE
UN/ON.


New Orleans street car employees
have insisted upon is the recog-
milton of their union. We are
not sufficiently informed as to
the merits of the Garments claims
to express an opinion on the JUS
tice of their grievances, but any
one who knows anything about
organized labor will not question
the wisdom of the employees in
insisting upon a recognition of
their organization. Without or
ganization labor is the prey of
corporate wealth. Bereft of the
force which it derives from
uniOnism it becomes the helpless
victim of capitals $ Unsuitable greed
Does any one doubt that, unaided
by that strength which labor
finds in unity alone, the toilers of
this country would be in better
condition than the serfs of the
old world? The newspapers may
talk till doomsday about the evil
effects of a strike, but the fact
remains that it is the one power
full weapon which is left to the
wOrkingman when less aggres-
Sive methods have failed to pro-
tect him against the oppression
of the employer. Right they are
to fight for recognition to the last
ditch. 1t is their only safeguard
against the encrOachments of
capitalists who have no ambition
but the accumulation of wealth.
Unionism is the one barrier
which stands between a digni-
fed, manly, self-respecting la
bOrer and condition little better
than feudal servitude 1t is not
strange at all that the carmen of
New Orleans cling with unyield-
ing frmneSS to the right to be
recognized as an organized body
of men. What show would un-
organized labor have in conflict
against the com bined Influences
of the moneyed men? Every
body who knows anything need
not be told that a corporation,
which has no soul to be chastised
by an offended Deity and no body
to be punished by temporal
laws, cares nothing for the
rights of the workingman and
gives him just that proportion of
its earnings which it is compelled |
to give. OF labor and capital, Ia
Dor is the greater factor in the |
of wealth and it is en-
titled to it's share of the fruits of |
industry, and the experience of
many centuries teaches it that
if it would have it's rights it
must present a solid and un-
broken front to the enemy

The Advocate of Baton Rouge
considers that the appeal of Mr..
Alleman and the other parish
superintendents for increased
appropriations is an attack on
the higher institutions of learn
ing supported by the State.
The Advocate could not have
fallen into a greater error. No
body is waging war against the
colleges of the State. We are
sure Mr.. Alleman is not. A blow
at any one of the State schools
would arouse the resentment of
every LOuisianian who loves his
State. Everybody knows that
the State schools are made
quately supported and the
smallest reduction in the legis
lative appropriations for their
maintenance would not be toler-
ated. Col. Jones and Mr.. Gra-
ham and Mr.. Shepherd are
fighting windmills. Like Eu-
gene Fields little boy they are
seeing things. Considering
the meagre allowance of the
State the University, the Nor
NAL and the Industrial Insti-
tutes have done admirably well.
He who would hamper them by
a narrow-minded antagonism
would make contemplate ex-
hibitiOn of his pusilanimity.
Every LOuisianian, in whose
breast dwells a mOdicum of
civic pride, is proud of the noble
work the State is doing to edu-
cate it's. youth. To know that
the State is equipping it's sons
at Baton Rouge for the duties
of citizenship: is training the
minds and hands of it's sons and
daughters at RustOn and La
fayette: is preparing an army of
young men and women at Natchi-
toches to do battle against ILL
teracy; is giving an education to
the blind and deaf and dumb
children of both sexes at Baton
Rouge: to know these things is
enough to convince US that no
one would be permitted to do
aught to hinder the State in the
performance of this sacred duty.
It seems to US that some over
jealous friends of the higher in
stitutions of learning are unne-
ceSSarily alarmed.

The Lafayette gazette., 1902-03-29

In the course of an editorial
recently published The Baton
Rouge Advocate says:
The higher institutions OF
learning come directly from the
State, and they and their infiu-
ence reflect back, stimulate, aid,
assist and build up the common
schools. A State without them
would be not only an abnormal
lty, but disgrace. The com
mon schools feed them and they
in turn supply the lights and
helps to the common schools.
The two industrial colleges are
bread and butter affairs. They
are located conveniently for the
limited number who are able to
receive, and desire their benefits.
The State Normal is maintained
IN It's entirety for the benefit of
common school education. 1t is
dedicated to it in every branch
and limb. The State University
alone stands as the representa-
tive of Louisiana, dedicated to
high equipment, high ideals, high
citizenship
1t has no doubt been noted
that The Advocate refers to the
industrial Institutes as ''bread
and butter affairs,'' and speaks
of the limited number who are
able to receive, and desire their
benefits. We fail to understand
our esteemed contemporary.
We are at a loss to know what
he means, and would appreciate
an explanation.
