The Boss Issue Exploded.

If anything were needed to
demonstrate the absurdity of
the charge that Jastremski and
his shouters have circulated
throughout the State that Blan
chard stands for boss rule while
Jastremski stands for the peo
pie, that evidence was given on
Saturday, when Messrs. Par
lxerson, Fenner and. Buck spoke
in support of Judge Blanchard s
candidacy at Shreveport. If
there are three men in New Or
conspicuously and more cOnsis-
tently against boss rule than
these three gentlemen, their
names are not known to the pub
lie here.
Neither of the three gentle
men who addressed the demo
Gratis of Shreveport in the inter-
est of Judge Blanchard is a par
tisan, an office holder, nor SO far
as we are aware, an Office
seeker. They are gentlemen
distinguished in their respec-
tive spheres of action, men of
ability and Of personal and pro
fessional standing, nor have
they any desire for public office,
nor any personal interest, be-
yond that of all good citizens, in
the success of any candidate.
And yet these gentlemen saw in
the fight being made upon Judge
Blanchard a reason sufficient to
justify them in going to Shreve-
port to correct the erroneous
and made-to-order slogan which
has been the chief issue in Gen
eral Jastrem skis campaign.
They hailed from New Orleans,
which Jastremski has repre-
scented as being in the throes Of
great fight in which the people
on one side We're struggling des-
perately to be released from the
tyranny of bossism, they went
as men who have consistently
fought the bosses, and they elo-
quently advocated the election of
shouters have falsely declared
stands as the representative of
boss rule.
These leaders of the anti-bOss
movements in past campaigns
declared that it is not true that
the fight is between the bosses
on one hand and the people on
the other; that this fake issue
has been concocted by the oppo-
sition to Judge Blanchard in or
der to deceive the people of the
country parishes and to excite
Fictitious opposition to him, and
that so far from that being true
nearly all the men prominently
identified with the movements
against the bosses in the past
are ardently supporting Judge
Blanchard now. Discussing
these things some of the Shreve-
port speakers stated some very
plain facts. For instance, Mr.
Parkerson is reported as follows:
THE bosses of New Orleans
nor any other set of bosses could
control the votes of the men who
We're behind Judge Blanchard.
They embraced representatives
of the best elements of New Or
leans citizenship. The speaker
had been fighting the bosses Tor
years. He had fought them in
1888. Where was General JAS
trem ski then? He had fought
them in 1896 and 1902. Where
was General JaStremSki then?'

tions may embaraSs Candidate

Party Reorganization.

AproprOs of the reorganization of
both parties in Indiana now at hand,
John B. Stoll. editor of the South
Bend Times, makes the following sug-
gestion:
ut ought to soon dawn upon the
minds of the managers of both poIit-
ical parties In this State that winter
is not good or propitious time for
the selection of committees that are
to serve during the campaign that is
to come on in five or six months. 1t
would be Intimately preferable toselect
the new com mitteemen after the
State or national nominations shall
have been made, for the reason that
such selections could then be made
with special reference to possibly
changed conditions. relations and cir
cumstanceS. The old committees
could do all that needs to be done and
do it with a better understanding,
predicated on practical experience.
Truth is, there is great deal of
crudeness in the machinery of all of
our political parties. 1t stands very
much in need of scientific recon
struction. !"

Profits OF United States Mint,

The annual report OF George E.
show that during the past year the
government made good profit on the
manufacture of silver dollars. halves,
quarters, dimes, nickels and pennies.
La fact, the clear earnings Of the
minis more than paid the expenses of
running them last year, indicating
that the mint service is one of the
very few branches of the government
that is self-supporting.
The total expenditures for tbe minis
Including the salaries of the director
and the numerous employees. were ST.
sos. 900 last year, while the earnings
were IS, 500, 600, profit Of something
like Sc. 5000 The great bulk of
the surplus came from the seigniorage
on the coming OF silver dollars,
amounting to nearly S., 100000. This
is the profit that Uncle Sam makes in
purchasing the crude silver and coin
ing it into dollars. This source of In
come will cease in few weeks, how
ever. as the stock of silver bullion in
the treasury is practically exhausted
and no authority exists for the secre-
tary of the treasury to Guy more. 1t
also means that the coinage of silver
dollars is soon to come to an end.
Many of the South American coun-
tries depend on the minis of the Unit
ed States to produce their gold and
silver coins. A slight charge is made
for this service, the profits last year
amounting to SIS. 900 as the result of
turning out batch of coins for Co.
