Fuel Shortage Still Seriously
Disturbing Element in In
dustrial Situation.
MANY PLANTS ARE CLOSED.
MInsa More .Fally. Operated. bu. No
Prospect of Normal Conditions IN
aI-sprips--inon and Steel Furnaces
and MlnasAre oyersoid.

New York, Jan. 17.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade, issued
today. says in part:
Fuel shortage Is still the one seri-
odsly disturbing element in the indus
trial situation. Transporting facili-
ties have been diverted from other
merchandise to the disadvantage Of
shippers. yet iron furnaces are unable
tic secure sufficient supplies Of coke
and many other manufacturing plants
are closed because OF inadequate coal
deliveries. Mines are more fully op-
Grated, but there is no prospect OF
normal conditions until spring. Ex.
: tremely low temperature during the
past week stimulated distribution OF
heavy clothing and other. seasonable
goods. Retail trade was accelerated
by the customary clearance sales, es.
pecially in dry goods and kindred
branches. Travelling men are send.
ing in leave orders for spring goods
the volume OF advance business sur.
passing the customary amount for
this time of year,
Furnaces and Mills oversoid.
Quiet conditions in the iron and
steel markets do not mean dullness
or diminishing consumption, but
merely the, oversold condition OF fur.
naces and mills. together with great
uncertainty about keeping plants ac.
tive on day.to-day supply of fuel.
Inquiries are numerous, especially in
structural lines. but makers are not
ready to accept bids until the future
appears more definite.
New plans constantly come forward
for large office buildings, notably a,
the west which means vigorous con.
sumption of structural steel, and the
demands from car builders are phe.
nomenal. Practically the entire ca.
2pacity Of the leading plants is already
booked for six months, and at many
concerns the last half of the year will
bring no idleness unless orders are
cancelled.

the lottery campaign are still
living; they were political friends
of General Jastremski, and
worthy democrats then. Now
that they are not with him he is
merciless in his denunciation of
them. Has he no tears to shed
for these, his former political al
lies, now while they live? or is
he reservinR his lachrymal stunt
in their behalf until the tomb
closes over them? Why should
he single out his deceased friend
to hide behind and to weep over,
while showerinR his maledictions
upon the living bosses with
whom he was as close as he ever
was with the deceased boss?
Surely, surely, the General
must be hard put to for an ar
gument when he can persuade
himself to imagine that he will
be able to shield himself from
the consequences of his own in
consistencies and absurdities by
attempting to hide behind the
dead. The people of Louisiana
are not so simple as to be de-
ceived by any such horse-play.

Gentry Day.

The Gentry Show now in its 10th year OF
cont nued prosperity, and which in the
meantime furnished amusement to millions
of both young and elder patrons that have
CHANGED to witness its exhibitions, is billed
try Bros. have enlarged their show to such
an extent that it requires a train of specially
constructed cars to transport its Parapher-
MALTA from place to place. They have
spared no expense order to put their show
in lead Of all similar exhibitions of this kind
and character and their trainers, Messrs.
DeAlma s. Lindsay, have the animals
trained to such perfection that monkeys,
dogs. ponies, and even elephants, imper-
senate many human characters of the day.
The animal actors of the Gentry Bros.
show can and do and accomplish many dar-
ing feats that even athletes, acrobats and
equestrians have tried bu, failed. Monka-
al vo actually loops the loop in his automo-
bile with as much grace and nerve COM
bined as human being. There are many
other features to be seen which are enacted
by the little animals alone. AS the total
show are something like 900 or more, the
public can readily see that they will be we'll
entertained AMI should not overlook the
opportunity of allowing their little people to
witness a performance of the Gentry Show.
The magnificent miniature street pa, ade
with fifty or more beautifully carved tableau
wagons, drawn by nicely groomed Shetland
ponies, will traverse the principal streets at
10 O'Clock on the day of exhibition here,
which is Friday, Nov. ~.

Education v. Taxation.

Communicated
To the editor of the Gazette
We have two very important questions
that seem to be absorbing all the attention
and minds OF the people of the parish.
Those two questions are education and
politics. All other questions seem to have
sunk into insignifcanee. Every intelligent,
progressive knows that education
stands at the head and should overtower all
other questions
The political question, a. it stands now =.
is secondary consideration. 1t is divided
into two factions. There is no important
issue between them, except that of the
ssouts" and ''ins.'' The persons named
for either faction all good men. We
have no fault to find with them. and don't
think it makes very much difference with the
the best and most deserving men, irrespect-
i've of faction.
But it is of vast and vital importance to
city and parish, to educational
system, and rising gereration, who are
elected members of our next police jury.
We have at the present time two very strong
municipal parties, party of progress and a
party of non-progress. The party of prog
ress is trying every honest and consistent
way TO build up a system of education
throughout che parish, and to adopt an
honest and just system of taxation for the
purpose of working public roads. The
non progress party is doing everything in its
power to defeat the party of progress by
cutting down the appropriations made for
the support of the public schools, knowing
that if it succeeded, it would he its death
blow.
Our next municipal election will be one
of the most important municipal elections
that have ever taken place in the history of
the parish. If the party of progress is
defeated, it means \ slow, lingering, con-
sumptive death to our whole system of edu-
cation from the foundation, up. And it
will place our parish in a low. backward,
and humilia:ing position in the eyes OF
every parish in the State position that
came within one inch of falling into on
the first day of October last, had i. not
been for the Ave liberal minded, patriotic
police jurors, who came boldly to the front,
and broke the ranks of the non progress
party and saved the life of our system of edu-
cation and progress.
Long may they be remembered. The
18TH of December, ] understand, is to be
the day set for all candidates for municipal
Offices to give notice of their candidacy.
1 claim that no man should be nominated
supported for the Office of police juror
unless he comes out, fair and square, and
shows his colors, how he stands on the two
most important municipal questions that
can BE- brought before the people at our
next election, education and just taxation
for road purposes. The people have the
right to elect their own municipal officers
and to dictate their policy.

The demagogue is abroad. His
love for the people is touching to
extremes. Gently brushing
aside constitutions, legislative
enactments, and what not, he
advocates with an easy subserv-

the ear of the populace. Just
now, hear him utter his old-time
cry of the people against the
bosses.

GEN. .LASZREAZSA/'S SPEECH

u
General Jastremski speech
delivered here last Saturday is
sufficient in our opinion to con-
vince anyone who has not pre-
judged, that the issue which he
says should be determined by
the people of the State at the ap-
preaching election is a fiction,
pure and simple. That issue is,
he said, to down the BOSSES, the
rings, and the machines, to de-
stroy the autocratic form of gov
eminent which has usurped the
rights of the people and to re-
store these rights to whom they
rightly belong. That, in a nut
shell, was the burden of his adj
dress, devoid of the dainty daft
fodils thrown at the audience
and the pardonable references
to his war record. The bou-
quets were pretty and the war
record of the general is as proud
a one as was ever borne by a
soldier, and no objection lies
with US in either connection.
But no candidate has the right
to demand the SURFACES of the
people on baseless grounds, sup
ported by vague charges. The
general made the assertion that
he wished to redeem the State
from a veritable autocracy, and
that he for one did desire
to become emperor, dictator on
king, but simply, governor.
These and other remarks of a
like nature which he strength
ened as he thought by continual
repetition, give an idea of the
self-imposed task which the
general has assumed in the cam
paign being waged.
He did not throughout the
whole address point out the evils
which have transformed a re-
publican system of State gov
eminent into one controlled by
a king, an emperor, or dicta-
tor. He did not favor US with
the names of the crowned ones,
nor did he explain the conditions
which have wrought just a
change as to enslave people once
free but with an Indifference to
premises which would do credit
to the most cOnSummate sOphist.
he seriously advised his audi
ence that the time had come to
dethrone the usurping autocrats
who had ar rogated the sovereign
rights of the people, and he con-
fdentially assured them Of his
ability to do so.
The Gazette does not wish to
detract from the many virtues
which have marked Gen. JAS
tremski S course in public life,
but it feels justified in saying
that considered as a persuasive
argument, the address delivered
by him here was not one to be
from an aspirant to the
highest Office within the fight of
the people of the State.
Instead of stating his views
on the economic and political
which should receive
his attep ton, he contented him
self by charging that the candi-
dacy of his opponent is planned
and schemed to perpetuate the
system the largeness of which
he has been the exceptional bene-
fciary for many years.
If the general desires to con-
vince men who are not preju-
diced, he should at least prove
his assertions. He cannot hope
to gain response from the peo-
pie of this parish to his astound-
ing declarations unless some
evidence be produced by him.
The demagogue is abroad. His
love for the people is touching to
extremes. Gently brushing

Judge Blackman was particu-
larly severe against the bosses.
No reference to Pollock was
made by Judge Blackman in his
denunciation of the machines.
The Lafayette gazette. [volume] (Lafayette, La.) 1893-1921, 1903-11-21

by the puerile plea that the boss
he once served is now dead, and
that therefore it is Dissertation
of the dead to refer to the Gen.
erals record in the days when
he was a consort and political
bed fellow of bosses. The peo-
pie of Louisiana can not be de-
ceived by such baby act in
this intelligent age of the world,
and it would have been far more
dignified had he not sought thus
to use his deceased friend as a
buffer to ward off from himself
the blows which his own rash
ness had invited.
Moreover, had his deceased
friend been the only boss with
whom he once trained the Gen.
erals position would be some
what stronger than it is. But
unfortunately for him, even this
is not the case. He was in SYM
pathy and political bed fellow
ship, as late as after the fierce
State campaign of 1892, with
every ward boss in the city of
New Orleans. The greater por-
ton of the bosses with whom he
went cheek by jowl with through
