THE GOTERNOR'S MIS-
SAGE.
Gov. Heard's message to the
General Assembly is an able and
exhaustive review of public af-
fairs in this State. The message
is eminently business docu-
ment and the citizen who desires
to know how the State govern
ment has been administered dur
ing the past two years will do
we'll to read it. But the gov
ernOr has not merely given an
account of his stewardship to
the com mmOnwealth: he has can
didly expressed his views on
certain questions which are
likely to receive the attention of
the Legislature during the pres
ent session.
Thorough familiarity with con-
ditions in the various depart
ments Of the public service and
in the charitable and educational
institutions of the State has en-
abled the governor to present to
the Legislators a great deal of
valuable information which will
greatly facilitate them in their
work. The message has only
words of cOmmendatiOn for the
manner in which the different
schools, asylums and hospitals
have been managed, a fact which
will be a source Of much gratifi-
cation to the people of the State.
L Lie S)lSllNllNl Sol1ulO1o11 VI CllS
finances, the evident progress in
agricultural matters, the i'm
prOvement in the public school
system and the good health of
the people are commented upon
by the governor. All these show
that the people of Louisiana have
enjoyed good government and
their share of prOvidential bles
sings.
The governor suggests a
change in the judiciary, which
he believes, will afford the
needed relief to litigants with
out increasing the cost to the
people. He would form the
country parishes into two cir
cults, the northern and the
southern, with appellate courts
of three judges in each one, with
jurisdiction extending to all
cases, civil on probate, when the
matter in dispite shall exceed
500, and not be more than
S3OOO.' He thinks that the
court of the northern circuit
should sit at Shreveport, Mon
roe and Alexandria,, and the
court of the southern circuit at
Baton Rouge, Gretna, and La
fayette. He believes that the
cost of the judiciary could be
diminished by reducing the
number of district courts to
twenty, instead of thirty.
The governors aHusiOn to the
Southwestern Louisiana Indus
trial Institute is very favorable
to this institution. We give be-
low the part of his message re-
ferring to the institute, knowing
that it will be pleasant reading
to the readers of this paper:
"The Southwestern Industrial
Institute was created by Act
1862, of the General Assembly of
1898. The first session began on
Sept. 1S, 1901, with an enroll

Bert Harts.s First Fame.

Bert Harte's First Fame.
The New York Herald of
November II, 1895, contained the
following:
Several friends of Bret Harte
were discussing Il story of his
which came out lately in a lead
ing periodical, and several anec-
dotes We're told about him which
have, I believe, never been in
print. The men were all promi
nent in some department of life,
and the conversation was held in
the reading room of the Union
League Club.
L wonder if you know how
Harte became famOus?" said one
fine-lOoking old man. Il was in
the West at the time. Dear me,
it must have been 25 years ago!
He had been doing regular work
for the California Overland
Monthly, and the editor looked
on him as a person to be relied
on to do not only regular work,
but to fill in gaps when they ap-
peared. One day he rushed up
to Harte and said:
I must have half column
Immediately. Have you anything
on hand?'
''Harte went to his desk, and
overturning a pile of manuscript,
picked out some verses. and
threw them to the editor with
the remark:
I don't know whether they
will suit, but have nothing else
the right length THE verses
were The Heather Chinee.'
THE next day Harte was
famous. He has since done what
he himself considers better
work, but the public, for once
constant, gives the highest praise
to the work which he thought
hardly worth printing!
The first time Bret Harte
came EAST said a friend the
other day, "he was to take in all
the chief cities in New England.
We who were familiar with the
East exclaimed almost in a
breath, how he will enjoy the
beautiful New England fall! Per-
hapS the gorgeousness of the
foliage seen by him for the first
time will inspire another famous
pOem'
AFTER he had been East for
Il short time he wrote me a letter,
which can tell you almost word
for word. 1t ran like this:
You ask me what has i'm
pressed me most since l left
home. I can answer emphati-
cally the Mattresses! I never saw
woman wait at table before.
After my lecture in Concord 1
was waited on by one at break
fast. She said to me:
Coffee, tea, ham, eggs and
bacon. I enjoyed your lecture
Mr.. Harte. You had most Sc

THE USUAL FAKE.

The News Democrat yesterday pub
lished the following; at is the rumor
over the city today that the negroes
will nominate negro Republican can
dldates for aldermen and oouncilmen
from the First and probably other
wards in the city. IL is claimed that
the negroes hope for success in the
First ward on account Of the many
residents Of their color residing in
that part Of the city. Some of the
negroes go so far as to say that they
will have the support and vote Of
many white Republicans in this effort
to get little official pie for the bulk
Of the Republican voters Of the city. +"
Those who know the News Demo.
Gratis political methods will pay no
attention to such 3 palpsble fabrioa-
tion. II there are any so unfortunate
as TO take stock in anything of the
kind, however, they are respectfully
informed that there is not particle
of foundation for such a fake. Il is
only a method Of the politicians who
see that their day is over in Paducah,
to divert public attention from them
selves and their methods.
There is not a negro in the city of
Paducah who wants any office, and no
sensible one who would accept one IL
it were offered him. There was never
any report or rumor to the effect men
toned in the article, and such was
known to be the fact when it was pub
lished.

Of people whose rights are entitled to
as much consideration as those of the

that if the exhibition, which could be

to be unlawful the participants would
be liable, and then could be called to

THE CONGRESSIONAL RACE

There is to be an election of con-
gresham in this district in November
and it is reasonable to presume that
all good citizens want a good man
chosen for the place. The Democracy
of today is not the Democracy Of yes
terday, and among the back numbers
are W. j. Bryan and the Kansas City
platform. If a man is for W. ]. Bryan
and the Kansas City platform when
his party is everywhere in the country
ignoring Bryan and Tepudiatlng the
platform, this man is doubtless not a
good representative of his party, and
should not expect its support. The
reason these remarks are made is be-
cause the mouthpiece Of Organism,
Goebelism and kindred isms in this
end of the state, the News Democrat,
said of the Democratic nominee on
March 2s, 1902:
"Now that the public eye is turn
ed for the time on tn lie First districts
new Democratic nominee for congress,
it may be of interest to know that he
is an unreconstructed Chicago and
Kansas City platform Democrat a de.
voted personal friend and political
follower Of william j. Bryan ready
and anxious to vote for him again Tor
president, and u1alterahly opposed to
the plans Of the reorganizers These
are ollie James sentiments and he
stands ready to 80 into the convention
halls or on the stump to do battle for
them.
The question is, IL Organism and the
Kansas City platform are repudiated
by the Democratic party, and Mr..
james is for Organism and the Kan
sas City platform. what is the reason
h. should not be repudiated, also
Mr.. James. we are informed, is an
"unIe constructed Democrat" and if
he is, isn't he in the wrong band wag-
on? Does he expect the Democrats

far behind their party as to indorse that

city fight began, and it was opposed
by certain influences that have recent
" made themselves felt in obvious
ways. The progressive people finally
won, end Paducah entered into an
era of prospective progress. Then
came the crash. Politics conquered
progress, and we were in danger of
setback. The people won, however,
and the skeleton in the closet was re-
vealed. The administration sees its
finish. II one puts up head for in
dorsement IN November he will b
downed. An element in its own party
is sufficient to do it, il there were not
others to do it. The rebuke has been
deserved and will serve as an example
in the future. Disguised or disoour-
aged, the administrator props are
falling away. The game is not worth
the candle.
The moral is that the next time the
people of Psducah put men in office
they should think well before they do
il. Good choice means money and
happiness to them. 1t means = good
city or a bad city, comforts and pro-
lection, or indifference to the public
good, gratis and government domin-
ated by politics.
We should be FOR Psducah above
all things. Politics may cut some fig
ure in a municipal government, but
should not cut much. IL is the men
we want, no matter what their poll
tics. The custom of voting for any
thing that is put up under the device
Of this or that party should be elm
mated from m unicipal practices, and
the people should vote for the-most
progressive man, no matter what his
politics, for in the end his politics has
little to do with the Inauguration of
improvements, the advancement Of the
city or the size Of the tax rate. This
will undoubtedly be hard to do down
here where political feeling is per-
hsps unreasonably strong, but il
must be done if we expect to push
Paducah and put her where she be-
longs.
In November vote for good men,
and we shall have a good city gov
eminent. Because a candidate be-
longs to your political party is no
reason he is a good man for the 20.
sitiou he seeks. II q man OF some
other political party would probably
DO better in the place, vote for him.
His politics can't affect his public SER
vice in a city the size of Paducah to
any alarming extent. Less politics IN I
government means more
progress to the people as a whole.

THE CRASH WAS EXPECTED.

The collapse of the present munich
pal administration is no surprise to
those who have been carefully watch
ing the trend of events. The actions
of the men in office have been cnarac-
terized by total disregard for law or
expediencY, and week after week they
would do something contrary to law
and contrary to the welfare OF the
people with IMMUNITY, until probably
it became their fond belief that shey
could do anything with the absolute
assurance that there would be no
hereafter. But they reckoned without
their host Those who dance must
pay for the music, and now some Of
them are reaping as they have sowed.
Others, seeing the handwriting, have
resigned. To retreat under fire shows
the essence of some of our lawmakers.
When this administration took
charge of affairs in Paducah it kne W
that the city was in bad way finan-
oially. 1t knew that not only were
the funds exhausted, but money had
been expended that was collected for
other purposes, and there would not
be near enough with all yet to come in
from revenue and taxation to run the
city during the remainder of the fs-
csl year. IL seems that it would
have been within the province of
good public officials TO take oogniz-
ance of these important matters. If
they did not know, they were too
ignorant and stupid to hold office,
and If they did know they were
sadly remiss in their duty towards
their constituents, to whom this neg
ligence, extravaganza and indiffer.
ence meant increased taxation and
reduced benefits. However that may
be, with a deficit staring them in
the face they proceeded to create
new Offices and increase salaries.
Additional public officers were ap-
pointed, their salaries were increased,
new Offices were created and nearly
every salary in the category was
increased. At any other time it
would not have looked so bad. At
that time it could not have looked
much worse. Tho city soon had to
borrow money to run the govern
ment, but the extravaganza never end
ed There nave been no public i'm
provements of any description, and
none provided for. TO cap the climax
the tax rate was fixed at si.s5, the
highest in the city's history, whion
was to raise $3.50, 600 to run the .citi
seven months.
