A SERIOUS MISTAKE.
Lafayette Gazette.

Lafayette Gazette.
Our esteemed contemporary, the
Avoyelles Blade, is mistaken in
believing that the advocates of a
primary are in favor of that
method of nomination because it
will give the people an "honest
and efficient government" The
efficiency and honesty of the pre-
sent and preceding administrations
are beyond question. Louisiana
has never had a better governor
that Mr.. Heard. The Advocates
of primary are not finding fault
with his administration. They
simply believe that the State tick
ct should be nominated by a pri-
mary because it is the more Dem
ocratic method. That is all. It
is not question of administration
or anti-administratiOn. The move
ment for a primary should not be
made to appear as antsgonistic to
the present State administration.
The Gazette is conscious of the
high sense of patriotism which has
actuated Gov. Heard in the per-
Torrance of his duties as chief
executive of this commonwealth
and it yields to none in it's respect
for that gentleman. Whether il
is to enter private life or to serve
the public in another capacity,
Gov. Heard will retire from his
present position with the esteem,
confidence and good wishes of the
fair-minded people of this State.
1t is a serious mistake to con-
strue the popular demand for pri-
maries as a condemnation of Gov.
Heard's administration or of the
Democratic party. The opponents
OF the primary plan will not
strengthen their cause by follow.

FAD OF THE 400
To Take a Dare Considered
Disgraceful.
Old Game Revived by Harry Lehr
and Developed by Him is Now
Being Carried to Absurd De-

gree.
There is an unwritten law among
the idle rich that to take q dare is
more disgraceful than making
ones self ridiculous. As a result
the giving and taking of dares has
becomes q sort of fad among the
young people of the 400, says the
Chicago Tribune.
Last week Jack Crawford Jr., of
New York, was dared by fellow
student to leap full dressed into
the huge bathing tank of the Bro
kaw gymnasium. The instant the
dare was given, accoutred as he
was, he plunged in, and besides
showing that he would not take a
dare won a bet of $40 which had
backed it.
The newspapers of the same
week contained accounts of the
marriage of a young couple in
jersey City on dare given by the
guests at a wedding reception they
had attended together.
Several years ago a wedding
which resulted in a national scan
dial was brought about in the same
sudden manner. John L. Brand
bury, q young millionaire of Los
Angeles. was driving in company
with pretty young woman when
be suddenly exclaimed: II dare
you to write what you are think
ing about" II will. if you will"
the young woman replied, and up
on exchanging notes they Disco
vered that each had written "Let's
run off and get married."
The dare as an amusement of
society was popularized by Harry
Lehr.
Only recently the court jester
took up the challenge of a men,
Der OF party on a public wharf
to get down on all tours and bark

Primaries and Conventions.
Timcs-D Democrat.


Another paper has come out OPP
posed to primaries and in favor of
conventions-the Morehouse Cla-
rion. This makes two members
of the Louisiana press opposed to
the nomination of candidates by
the people. Taking as a text an
extract from the Shreveport Cau-
casian, which opposed the selec-
ton of candidates through the
"cut-and-dried programme of no.
limitations by convention in obe-
dience to the dictates of the ma
chine" the Clarion reviews the
political history of the State, and
asks whether they we're "cut-and-
dried"
In all these conventions there
was an opposition, as the Clarion
pointed out. The nominations were
not "cut and dried" in the sense
that the opposition to the machine
was given no hearing; but on
many occasions it was doubtful
whether the conventions expressed
the true wishes and preferences of
the white Democratic voters. The
convention plan afforded a splen-
did opportunity to manipulate de-
legates and to capture parishes.
The Clarion mentions, for in
stance, the nomination of Wilt
for Governor, and asks whether
he did not represent the sentiment
of the people. The campaign of
1880 was thoroughly representa-
tive of the convention system and
disclosed it's many evils and ine-
qualities and its lack of democra-
tic methods. The mode of selec-
ting delegates differed in nearly
every parish; in some they were
chosen by parish conventions. in
others by mass meeting, in others
by vote-the mode of selection be-
ing determined by the faction in
control of the party machinery of
the parish, to suits its convenience
and give it the best chance of WIN
ming. That under this system the
popular will was frequently dis
torted and changed was we'll
known to the politicians of the
day. In one parish Gov. Willis
friends captured the mass meeting
called at the parish seat for the
selection Of delegates by the very
simple device of hiring all the w.
hicles and conveyances in advance;
and it was a parish which it was
we'll known he could not have car
ried otherwise. And the victory
in another opposition parish was
similarly won by hiring pirogues
and bringing in to the parish mass
meeting some unexpected voters
from the back wards.
We are not criticising the
methods then in vogue, because
under the conditions existing at
that time these methods were pro-
badly the bes. offered us for no
minating candidates. A white
primary would have been q mis-
take then, with the negroes still
voting and a dangerous enemy
still opposing Us. But conditions
have 80 changed since then that
the primary has become the logi-
cal method of selecting our candi-
dates, as it certainly is the demo-
maotic method. The negro is out
of politics; the electorate has been
80 purified that it is now the equal
of any in the Union. Every voter
is worthy. can be trnstad To mama

MAY ABOLISH RESERVATIONS
Indian Commissioner Jones' Plan for Bring
ing Indians to Better Degree OF
Civilization.

Washington. July 20-If a recommenda-
tion TO be Incorporated in the forthcoming
annual report of William A. Jones.
United states commissioner of Indian af
fairs. is carried into effect a long step
VIII he taken in the direction of breaking
up the Indian reservations In the West.
II is the irrentlon Of Commissioner Jones
to urge the abolition of the present agency
system. the reservation TO be divided into
small communities and such communities
placed in charge of officials who win come
into frequent personal contact with the
families residing thereon.
The whole tendency of the Indian policy
of the government is toward the elimina-
ton Of reservation lines with a view to
with the whites in order that the child of
the forest may learn the ways of the more
progressive and enlightened race. The de-
tails of the plan to have the small COM
munty supplant the reservation have not
vet been worked out. The commissioner
months and has discussed it with some OF
the students of the Indian problem.
The recommendation to be made in this
connection are certain TO attract attentlol
througout the country. 1t will also eXcit'
antagonsm While the community plan
would necessarily increase the number o
employees in the Indian service, it woul'

AT the same time renuce the political
patronage and it is this phase of the sub
ject that must be considered when congress
* called upon 10 lcgslatn. 1t is generally
recognized that the reservation is an evil
feature of the civilizing agencies under
government control.
In many sections of the West the reds
are hemmed in on all sides and except
on rare occasions see little of the white
man or the beneficcut influences of his
institutions. The community plan as
evolved by Commissioner Jones is an am
making the Indians independent and self
supporting.
His first step was in diminishing the
ration system Rations are only issued
now TO the old and infirm and in some
instances to children The next reform
instituted by the present commissioner of
Indian affairs was that of providing labor
for the Indians The reds are not forced
to work. hut the Inducements are so at
tractive that in some tribes Il large ma
works in the vicinity of their reservations
| and in other cases the Indians are doing
the work formerly performed by white
men hired for the purpose.
Commissioner Jones will discuss the new
policy at length in his annual report an,
the attention of congress will be directed
to it at the coming session.
