An exchange hits the truth by
saying that newspapers adver-
tising columns are a reliable index
to the character of the place in
which it is published. When ad-
vertising columns carry a liberal
amount of live, attractive, paid
matter, inviting people to buy or
to sell, it shows that there is ''some-
thing doing in that town; ii
means that there is trading going
on, that money is changing hands
and that the people are thrifty and
prosperous.

KILLED ~ HORSEPLAY,
Father OF the Victim knocks the Ring.
leader Down In Court.

PATERSON Dec. As the result Of a
skylark. one boy lies dead at the General
Hospital and five of his companions are at
the County Jail charged with murder
They were all employed on the night shift
at the Cooke locomotive works and were
fooling with each other during the mid
night meal hour. They had been accus-
toned to indulge in some pretty rough
horseplay. Harry Rult. 10 years old,
was a newcomer among them and the
others were initiating him. Harry Dorm.
II years old, appears to have been the
leader and Leonard vandersluvs. also II
years old, appears TO have seconded him.
As a result Of the brutal treatment on the
part Of the ignorant youths Ruit screamed
in agony
Some Of the older workman ran TO the
scene and they saw that Ruit was seriously
injured. They summoned an ambulance
and Ruit was taken to the General Hospital
An examination showed that he had been
injured in his stomach and intestines
The physicians said that the boy had only
an hour to live and they summoned the
Recorder to take his ante-inortem state
ment.
Ruit showed no bitterness TO his COM
panions He said that Robert Rose, Daniel
Christie and William Heintjes were with
Dorm and Vandersluys when they in
dulged in the horsepay. The five boys
were arrested and locked up. They were
all Mortified at the result of their -hazing"
and Dorm cried bitterly.
They were arraigned before the Recorder
this afternoon. A. Dorm was led into the
court room Ruit's father sprang upon him
and felled him TO the floor with heavy
blow upon the neck. Officers dragged
Ruit from the court room. While this was
being done Dorn's aged mother went into
Mysteries The five boys were commit ed
TO Jail To await the action of the Grand
Jury on charge of murder. County
Physician Mcbride has ordered an inquest
The Cooke Locomotive Company has put
up notices in the works forbdding all
further fooling among the employees I'M

LABOR UNIONS IN POLITICS.
Organizations In New Orleans TO Pay Poll
Taxes so That All May Vote.

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 4.-The labor unions
Of New Orleans have announced their
intention to enter actively into poiitics
Their action ia the result of the recent street
car strike. the car men holding that they
would have won a signal victory had not
Gov. Heard and Mayor Capdevielle taken
the side Of the company.
The Street Car Mems Union has adopted
resolutions calling upon all members to
take part in politics, in all primaries and
elections The key To the political situa-
ton in Louisiana is the poll tax. No one
can vote in the next State and city elect ions.
which occur in 1904. unless he pays the poll
tax for 1902 before Jan. I. In order to vote
the entire strength, the Street Car Mems
Union has offered TO pay out of it's treasury
all the poll taxes Of its members, 500 in
number. The other unions have followed
its example and II is now certain that every
union man in New Orleans will have his
poll tax paid for him. and thus be entitled
10 the ballot.
Some objection was raised to the union
paying these individual taSesbut the City
Treasurer has overruled all objections and
accepted the money rendered him. This
ensures the enrolment of the entire union
vote Of the city. There is no one 10 pay the
poll taxes for the non-union voters. and un-
less they do so themselves they will be dis
franchised. Only 1886 citizens have so
far fitted themselves for the franchise
Of which nearly half are union men, who
hope for victory similar to that recent "
won in San Francisco
