OUT OF THE WALLET.

The cat has been let out Of the
wallet. Several people, mostly ofthe
newspaper persuasion, have been
guessing for some time that Justice
Blanchard was the administration
candidate for Governor. But no
body who had authority to do so
would own up, preferring to keep
the matter quiet until things could
be fixed. But the thing has been
given away. Judge G. V. Porter,
of Natchitoches parish, in an inter
view in New Orleans the other
day, gave it Gus that Blanchard
was "our choice for Governor.
He just said that much aud, prob
ably remembering the secrecy de-
sired in this matter, cut the inter
view short off.
1t may be that Justice Blanchard
is "Our choice for Governor but
if we are to listen to several other
sections Of the State other good
meen are also "our choice The
cat is now out and things political
may be expected to begin to warm
up. The next State campaign is
going TO be warm one. - Winfield

CALLED DOWN.

There will be a hearty "amen'
in Congress and throughout the
country in response to Senator
Hoar's timely rebuke Of the pres,
ident for his pernicious custom of
declaring in advance what acts he
will or will not approve,
"lt is being continually stated in
the newspapers said Mr.. Hour,
"that such and such bills are ad
ministration measures and that u
set of senators had called on the
president and made arrangements
for the senate's action on trust
bills, the statehood bill and other
measures.
"The time for the president to
make up his mind about statutes is
after we have passed them aud nat
before, unless he avalls himself
of his constitutional privilege to
make communication to the entire
body by message.
If this remark had come from a
younger senator it might have been
attributed to "freshness' or dis
appointment ia the matter of in
fluence at the White House. If it
had come from Il member Of the
opposition it would have been called
partisan criticism. But coming
from the most distinguished repnb-
lican senator, a man universally
esteemed for ability, high charac-
ter, dignity aud discretion it must
be taken seriously by the pres
ident's friends if not by the presi-
dent himself.
There is proper and an i'm.
proper way for the president tC
communicate his views to the con.
gress Advance notice that he will
approve or disapprove given
measure is but another way Of EN-.
ployipg the patronage and prestige
of his Office to influence legislation
There are always members who
wish to "stand in" with the pres
ident, and they will not hesitate tc
subordinate their views to his
wishes He would not be human
il he did not bear in MUD the snp
porters and the opponents of his
pet measures aud treat them ac
cordingly.
1t Is his duty to transmit to thu
whole body his recommendations il
general terms, but having don'
that he should observe judIcla
silence in regard to any particular
bill that may be proposed. Other
wise the congress can not be th'
free agent the constitution de
signed.
With rebuffs in Utah and Colo
RADIO on account Of his impertlnen
suggestions in the senatorial con
tests, and with this ''call down
from the venerable Senator Hoa1
on account Of his free use of th'
| administration lash on members o
congress, 1t would seem that Mr.
Roosevelt wonld take the hint ant
mind his own business.

SINCERITY.

The origin of the word "sin-
cerlty' is profoundly interesting
and suggestive. When Rome flour
ished when her fame was spread
the world over, and the Tiber was
lined with noble palaces built Of
choicest marble, ,-men WED with
each other in the construction Of
their habitatiou. Sklllful sculptors
were in request, and immense sums
of money were paid for elaborate
workmanship. The workmen, how
ever, were even then capable Of
practicing deceitful tricks. If, for
example, they accidentally chipped
the edges of the marble. or il they
discovered some conspicuous flaw,
would fill up the chink and supply
the deficiency by means Of prepared
wax. For some time this decep-
ton would not be discovered but
when the weather tested the build
ings, the heat or damp would dis
close the wax. AT length those
who had determined on the erection
of the mansions introduced n bind
ing clause into their contract, to
the effect that the whole work,
from the first the last, was to be
"sine cera' that is "withOut
wax Thus we obtain our word
sincerity" To be sincere is to
avoid any attempt to misleod or
tuisrpureSent.
