Poll Tax Payments.

Chairman Cage OF the executive
committee Ut the State central com.
mittee has receiver no official notice
of the petition that will be FLED will
the committee to compel the prima-
ries in Lafayette parish to be held
with regard to the poll tax law. The
parish executive committee of La
fayetle met SATURDAY. and ordered
parish, primaries for Sept "a, TO be
participated III by al registered
white Democratic voters, irrespec-
tive of whether they were qualified
by poll tax payments.
Discussing the matter last EVEN
ing. Mr.. Cage said:
1.-The general election and primary
laws both require that onI, qualified
voters may vote at elections. Under
the Constitution no one Is qualified
voter who has not paid his poll tax
for the two years preceding The
year in which the election wa. held
unless exempted by law from the
payment OF the poll tax. Conse-
queLtly no primary election held in
disregard Ut the poll tax law could
be sanctioned by the party olgani-
cation, and either the State central
committee or the courts could pre-
vent such . primary, or set aside
the results of such an election. The
poll tax law applies to any and all

The Primary Election

The Democratic State Central
Committee of Louisiana has de-
clded that the candidates for Gov
ernor and other State Offices and
for United States Senator must be
made by white primary. No
provision was made, as in M,ssls
sippi, for the nomination at the
same time Of district and parish
candidates. As a general thing.
however, the parishes will follow
the example of the committee and
make all nominations by primary;
and in large number Of cases this
will be done at the same primary.
The committee of fifteen of the
Democratic State central committee
has decided to recommend that
primaries be held Dec. Is, with
second primaries 20 or 80 days later
if necessary, and that a State cen
trail committee be elected and that
1t formulate the State platform.
Poll tax receipts for 1902 aud 1903
will be required.

| Editor st. TammanY FARMER:
| If Dame Kumor is true Pearl River

mill whistle. Our town was getting
| quite dull and rusty although some city
folks still come on excursion days to
get breath of fresh air. Most of the
| summer folks are gone home.
Hotel blanche has only two boarders
SO was told, but last Sunday night, at
an unreasonable hour strange young
man arrived at the hotel and asked for
accommodations in very peculiar
way. No one had ever seen him before.
He had no cards, no letter of introduce
tion, no baggage, not even grip in his
hand. His dress was extremely plain,
he had no hat on his head or shoes on
his feet. He could not even tell where
he came from or where be expected to
go, or what his name was. He had no
money, not 50 mucha as q red cent, and
yet he had the audacity with amaz-
lug sangfroid to demand immediate at
tention in such q stentcrian voice as
to almost paralize the whole house, and
they stood aghast, but not long did the
young man let them stand for they had
to hustle and wait GU him, for it was
very evident fact that he had come to stay
and had not the least idea OF going way
back and sit down, SO they just had to
make the best of the situation aud give
the young man something to eat and a
bed to sleep, for don't every body know
that Mrs: blanche, the kind hearted
proprietress of the hotel never turns
even beggar away from her hospita-
BILE door. Well, MI. Editor, the news
OF the arrival of the strange man soon
spread all over town, and the very next
piece of news that was handed around
was that certain young lady was max
ing beautiful white null dress, en-
train, and of course one could not help
but think Of sswedding BELLS" but 10,
and behold, when the aforesaid young
lady was questioned she said the dress
was for that strange young man that
arrived at the hotel, AMI when she
tini he'd it he was to be christened.

Rotation In Office.

A great number Ut our exchanges
are laying good deal Of stress up
on what they are pleased to tern
the "good old Democratic doctrine
Of rotation in office" Now in ouI
humble opinion, il no better OF
greater objection can be found to /
man than the mere fact that he l,at
gained ripeness and experience witt
long service. it is about time to our;
What is this ''good old Demo.
cratic doctrine Of rotation in office, >
anyway? Who is the author Of it;
by what sanction and authority, and
when and where did i: become
Democratic doctrine? Please kind.
~ give us the facts in tile case?
BY what peculiar circumstances,
conditions or reasoning, does the
experience, wisdom and ability
gained through long service, and SC
highly valued in private business
practice. become a source of Objec-
ton, and a serious obstacle in pub
lie life?
Is it upon the theory that public
offices are considered legi.im ,te
spoiIs at which the greatest possible
number of people should have a
chance.
Is the efficiency Of the public
service matter Of secondary i'm
p0rtance.
The ''6octrlne'' is contrary t"
the very best business practice. The
best men should he put in office and
kept there. Merit alone should win
or retain office-'rbe Felicianas.
Commenting Oh the above, the
Lafayette Gazette SAYS:
In the foregoing editorial Editor
Herr propounds a few questions
which the new advocates of the
principle Of rotation in office will
find difficult to answer. The advisa-
bility Of applying this principle to
the office OF president or governor
is universally conceded. Perhaps
president or governor could,
through the distribution OF patrons
age, perpe.uate himself in power
BY controlling large arm y Of APP
pointees it might be possible for
him 10 exercise ton much influence,
The wisdom Of Washington has set
tied the matter as far as the presi-
dency is concerned. Even the popu-
larity of Gen. Grant, who was a
military hero, was not great enough
to cause the American people to ig-
more the example Of Washington. La
the various States We believe it is
the unwritteD law that governors
should not be elected three times
consecutlvelv. 1t has teen SO IN
Louisiana. A Constitutional conven-
ton, composed OF Democrats, has
even gone further. It placed IL the
organic law Of the State clause
which makes the governor Ineligible
to u second term. M Democrat
objects to the provision in the Con-
stltutlon. 1t is in ccord with sound
Democracy.
But by whose sanction OF autAori-
~, and where and Wien did it be-
come Democratic doctrine that there
must be rotation IN parish, district
or ward office? From what school
Of Democracy has been evolved this
new principle Of the Jeffersonjan
faith? It may afford a convenient
plea 10 people who want TO oust
some Office whose efficiency has re-
peatedly received popular endorse
ment. When man has been In
office long time and has been do
ing his duty conscientiously and
we'll the opposition to him generally
raises the old cry of rotation in
off1cc.n
