HORNY HANDED SONS OF TOLL.

HORNY HANDED SONS OF TOLL.
An amusing feature of the Mississippi
campaign is the treatment shown some
OF the candidates by the farmers. The
latter are very apathetic towards those
of the former who use in their speeches
the old phrases the horny handed sons
of toll, and the down trodden yeomen
of the country, and kindred express
sioI1s Time was when these phrases
were vote-catchers, but they have be-
come stale and meaningless with the adj
vancement and enlightenment OF the
agricultural classes. They are the words
Of the demagogue and create disgust
among the intelligent masses. They are
rot, and the spell-hinder who is bold
enough to use them in his appeal for
votes should be snubbed. Mansfield
Journal
Which leads to the reflection that the
farmer may, in reason, have grass and
seed in his hair, but he has no wheels
IN his head. And he is no dam pilool
either.

The Napoleonville Pioneer, for some
unaccountable reason is of the opinion
that Justice Fl. Nichols will be the

does not concur with the Pioneer, still
there is not a man in the State whom
he would rather vote for than Francis

THE FLOOD OF 1S4o.

Mr.. Emmy Wells of Bayou Robert,
one of the oldest native born citizens of
the parish, called today to renew his
subscription. He remembers perfectly
the immense flood of I84o in the Red
river valley. He says that in I84o all of
Alexandria was overlooked except a
few spots here and there. The land
above Alexandria, known as the
STAND, all the way from here to Boyce,
was overflowed with but few exceptions
The water ran over the island into
Bayou Boeuf and through Bayou Rob-
ert. At that time there was ferry on
Bayou Rapides where Bayou Robert
united with Bayou Rapides During the
overflow of I84e the water was almost
a solid sheet frmo the pine hills on the
north side of the river to the pine hills
on the south side. ten miles or more
wide. The 1eyees in 1870 did not amount
to much.-A1exandria Town Talk.
In 1910 when "levees' was mentioned
it was more in the line of raising the
pot than of restraining the flood of the
river. An old 4oer once said within the
hearing of the Caucasian Grinder:
well. sir, in 4o there was flood which
was a flood. 1t beat Noah'5s forty days
rain. Shreveport was then smaller
place than it is. now this conversation
is recalled as a Renaissance of the flood
of ~. Well. sir, talk about rain
and water and more water than Whiskey
and all this nonsensel Well, sir, there
was so much water in the country, at
the time, that man drunk as a billed,
owl would sober UP as straight as
Judge at the sight of old Red booming
down to the Gulf. Everything was wa
ter, even whiskey straight had a water
taste about it, and to give. tone to his
Whiskey even man of temperate hab-I
its had to mix in little red hot Cay
enne pepper with it Several generally
sober-sided tried to full up and raise
the town but It was not possible
for a man to keep up a iarnboree on
account of the water. The water COW
cred every inch of land from the hills
in Bossier and Arkansas to the hills in
Texas and Caddo parish. Where is now
Duck lake and Silver lake and Market
street steamboats, and alligators could
float at ease. You may all talk about
water and rain, but there never. was
such water as in 49,
And the man who said all this was
seemingly astonished, somewhat dunn
founded, because not man in the
crowd ventured to question single
word Of His statement. Every lword he
spoke, especially his reference to the /
man being "tanked up" SOLDERING up
at the very sight of Red river, were ac-
cepted without reservation. The 4e'er is
always all right. 1t is not the flood of
'4o which is worrying the people, nor
the whiskey, but the water of 1908.
And in this connection this asserya-
ton is offered without fear or apprehen-
sion Of successful refutation or contra
dietIon but in no sense of transcending
on the speculative inadvertency of the
,4o'er as to water and whiskey, and that
assertion is that at this time there is |
more water than whiskey in the country
and that some men will become stanked
up and full up all water to the CON
trary notwithstanding. Now, Mr.. 4e'er,
disprove this!

WHAT THE PEOPLE WANT.

WHAT THE PEOPLE WANT.
We hear a good deal about what the
people want and demand il regard to
primaries and elective Office holders. If
the people really want and demand such
reforms. and want them bad enough,
there is no way to prevent them from
securing them. The people can and will
get what they want in a government like
ours when they have the courage of
their convictions. Politicians dare not
stand in the way of public sentiment
when it is aroused and ready to assert
and enforce its power. If the people of
Louisiana really want nominations by
primaries and all officers made elective
by a popular vote, they will have it Sc
Or know the reason why. We believe
the people want these reforms, but we
shall see.-Homer Guardian.
The people know what they want, but
being law-abfding, conservative and pa
tient, are slow in n1anifesting their dis
pleasure beyond complaint or silent pro-
tests. When the people will, they anil,
and from all indications they are awak-
ening: rubbing their eyes and thinking.
When they get on their feet and begin
to move, silently, earnestly, determined
", they will secure what they want and
should have In the meantime the press
of the State, the press that would help
the people in the awakening, will con-
tinue to direct and point the way to
emancipation, to political freedom.
