The owner of the odenwaelder News,
published in ober-Ramstadt. Germany,
is said to be the victim of an automo-
bile craze, but apparently there is
method in his madness. While he uses
his motor car for pleasure during the
day. at night he runs it into the yard
adjoining his office, places it on a
stand, attaches it by band to the driv
ing wheel of his printing press, and the
morning editions of his paper are run
of by its aid. BY removing the belt,
the motor car is at once open for either
business or pleasure.

Senator Brownell, of Clackamas
county, calls attention to the fact that
the governor is trying to saddle the
whole responsibility of the tax error
on the legislature, and. consequently,
as both branches are strongly republi-
can. upon the republican party. The
point is made that the governor could
have exercised the veto power. He held
the bill five days, and, as an attorney.
had ample time to examine it, and he
could have called to his assistance his
private secretary and the attorney-gen-
eral. The facts are that the bill was
approved and by doing 80 he should be
careful about placing the blame any
where. 1t was, in reality, an error, and
nothing more, but The Astorian has
noticed that our governor, who has
made several successful campaigns,
with the help of republicans, is gener-
ally very handy with his "spie" of DEM
agogy.

Having discovered what makes peo-
pie lazy, the doctors are going to invent
an anti-toxin, with the laudable pur-
pose in view of exterminating the dis

trouble is called 'uncanaria." When
not speaking technically, the doctors call
it hook worm. 1t has the appearance

QUITE SERIOUS.


The ring newspapers said that
Jastremski is not taken seriously,
but a man who talks 90 much to
the point, who puts pith and meat
into every utterance. who hits the
nail on the head, hard evey time,
will have to be reckoned with.
1t wont be long before he has
Blanchard, who is all sham and
pose, on the run. He makes a cap
itsl hit, in the same Shreveport
speech from which l have been
quoting, in his criticism of the
rules under which primaries are
conducted in New Orleans. He
says they are monstrous. Right.
Rules are all that save bosses.
They have to adept monstrous
ones. They are doing it now, to
subvert the popular will in the
state primary. They are cutting
out democrats who cannot put
their hands on the bible, and say
Il ana absolute Regularity This
is also monstrous. Would any,
body ever dream of applying it in
a national election, or in a proceed
ing looking to the nomination of q
democratic candidate for president
Surely not. Then it's application
in this election is also monstrous.
Trick after trick is the history of
democratic procedure in Louis
lana. A day of reckoning will
come, and this is as good as any.
ThesiGeneral makes a significant
reference to the 18th of Septem-
Der. He cannot understand why
New Orleans, which sent forth the
White Leaguers, is submitting to
boss supremacy.
Does the General think another
14th of September will be necess-
ary.

Fraud Is The Cry.

There comes q loud cry from
way down in st. Martinville which
is ominious and fearful, and if the
aggrieved parties can prove what
they claim to be able to, it will
put very dissgreeabls color on
things political down in that un-
fortunate section, which has been
torn and riven by factional differ
ences for some time. So bitter
and extreme had the feeling be-,
come that lines were strained to
the swapping point. The faction that
is in power, and which controls
the party machinery had taken
snap Judgment on the other; set
day for primary regardless of all
protests and appointed commits
sioners of their own way of think
ing. So unjust and arbitrary was
this procedure that the matter was
brought to the attention of the ex-
ecutive committee of the State
Central Committee, which prompt
ly overturned everything that had
been done and ordered q new pri-
mary which held last Monday.
The contending organizations
are known az the Badon-L Liable
and the Rees-B roussard factions.
The former are in power in the
parish aud are said to have ruled
things with an iron hand and do
not mean to let 60 if they can help
it. The controversy having been
settled by the committee it was
supposed things would glide along
smoothly and that there would be
no trouble. So when the day for
the primary arrived all entered it
with good faith, bat the thing had
not been progressing long before
the Rees-Broussard people realiz-
ed they were being defrauded and
very properly withdrew their COM
missioners from every poll and
left the field. What the nature of
the frauds were have not yet been
stated. but as the matter is to be
taken before the state committee
for settlement, it will soon come
out. 1t is exceedingly to be regret
ted that the thing has ended in
this way, since it will bring the |
primary into disrepute and reflect |
no credit on anyone connected
with it.-Donsldsonville Times.
