-ANTl.nxPECTORATlON ORDINANCE.

After the usual legal delays an
ordinance will go into effet in Lake
Charles prohibiting the splitting
on sidewalks by men, women and
children.
While the first thought of the
ordinance raises a smile, and per-
haps the second one is that it is a
trivial subject, the final conclusion
must be that ifpeople are not ready
to comply with the ordinary laws
Of decency Of their own volition,
then they should be made to do it.
Remember it means all kinds Of
spittle; tobacco, both plug and fine
cut, chewing gum-Titti Fruit and
Kis me, licorice or the plain every
day kind-all come within the
Audience" as u friend calls it.
There are two loopholes in the
ordinance. One is that the eiec-
ton Of cold soldiers" must not
take place on the sidewalks. These
nscessaries to progressive city
are few and far between in Lake
Charles and are somewhat sporadic
in their nature. Along Ryan street
they can be found once in which.
The pedestrian will run across one
in front Of some progressive citi-
zen's property; in most cases, how
sver, it is guess work as to where
the street qnits aud the sidewalk
begins. In many parts of the
town the Sidewalk" is ribbon Of
dust between two rows of bitter
weeds.

THE RICE MARKET.

Former characteristics prevail in
the rice market: buyers operate
with a freedom evincing confidence,
in manyinstances providing against
all possible wants that are likely to
arise during the nextsixty to ninety
days. Prices have been frightened
up on the lowest grades of market,
and even with advanced figures
offerings have not been enlarged,
which confirms the oft repeated
assertion, that lower grades are
practically closed out. Nothing
obtainable at this point under 40,
and even at that figure is rat-trap
and bobtail sort.
The movement at Southern points
is we'll sustained, and under limited
offerings market is strong with
hardening tendency. Statistical
reports from New Orleans, show
that the supply is passing promptly
out Of first hands, offerings in such
quarter practically over with the
current month.
Regarding the growing crop,

FISHING.

During these torrid days when
most people congregate around the
counters where ''soft drinks, and
cold, are dispensed, the subject Of fish
ing in the waters Of the numerous
summer resorts is discussed, and many
the tales told Of rippling, crystal
streams in shady woods, where the
speckled beauties are sought after by
the disciples Of Isaak Walton, the won
derfui catches, the sire and quality of
the fish, make the auditors green with
envy, and beget . strong desire to HE

THE FRUIT OF ROOsEvE.T's POLICY.

THE FRUIT OF ROOSEVE:-T'S POLICY.
A few days ago Randall Sulle-
van, a negro, employed as an ele-
vator conductor in the Geological
Survey Building at Washington,
was suspended for writing note
to white lady also employed in
the building as clerk, asking for
her address, and saying that he
chad something on his mind which
he wished to communicate When
taken to task he said that he could
not be suspended for merely writ
ing note "such IS any gentleman
might send lady,
We are informed that the affair
caused the most intense indigna
ton in the department, but we can
not understand why it should have
raised rumpus in view of the Presi
dents open recognition of the ne
gro as political and social equal.
Under the circumstances it is not
surprising that the negro Sullivan
should have written a note to a
white women, because he had been
taught by the President to consider
himself in every respect the equal
of a white person. Mr.. Roosevelt
was responsible for the negro's
offense, and if he is the real friend
and protector of the African race
he pretends to be, he will not per-
NIT Sullivan to be suspended.
When the President invited
Booker Washington to thu White
House and to a seat at his family
table, the act was tantamount to a
notification to the country that the
negroes should be accepted as the
social and political equals Of the
whites, and out of this has grown
the turbulent spirit the negroes are
manifesting in nearly every State
of the Union. The presidents
policy has done much to encourage
"the new negro's crime," lynch
ings and race riots. Mr.. Roosevelt
has explained that he invited
Booker Washington to dine with
him because Booker was a gentle
man and entirely worthy to sit at
a table with the president or any
body else. The = negro Sullivan
also claims. to be gentleman and
holds that the note he wrote to the
white woman was "such as any
gentlemen might write to lady"
II the President is consistent he
will not allow negro employees of
The government to be punished for
aking special liberties that would
rot be condemnedin a white man, for
las he not declared that there
should not be any discrimination
against them on account Of race,
,olor or previous condition of servi-
udei It is clearly the duty Of the
President to stand by Sullivan aud

A CONSERVATIVE SPIRIT,

There is slight wave of conserva-
tism sweeping over the Democratic
hosts of the State and it is to be COM
mended and applauded. A few hot
headed political editors have made a
systematic effort to throw vitrol into
the campaign, and excite and enrage
democrats against each other. This
course has been absolutely without
justification or excuse. 1t has been
largely led by independent democratic
newspapers. But the more conserva-
tive element is calling for sober judg-
ment and calm action. On yesterday
we reproduced an admirable editorial
from the Sattes urging calmness and
moderation. To-day, we find space for
the following, from worthy democrat
ic journals:
Already some Of the newspapers
have commenced to abuse democratic
candidates for governor. For gracious
sake, gentlemen, let us have a state
campaign without vituperation and
abuse of the gentlemen who oppose
our choice. The Town Talk intends
to labor for the nomination of Judge
Blanchard for governor, but we will
not help him by scfying ring and
abusing in billingsgate style Gen. Jas
tremski andt he other democrats and |
gentlemen who oppose him.
"This thing of yelling ring every
four years in Louisiana is getting
stale. It has generally been started
in the past by newspapers of question
able political faith, but the people
have never paid any attention to it
for the reason that they fully under
stand that if there is ring in Lou
isiana, it is composed Of majority Of
the democrats of the several parishes,
and that is the kind of ring we want
to control this State for the next thou
sand years. s'Alexandia Town Talk.
While Democratic journals may
openly advocate either the convention
Or primary method of selecting the next
ticket, we fail to see why

Communicated.l

Commu nicated.
Mr. Editor-You had an article
some weeks ago in the Enterprise-Ob-
server in regard to the Grand Jury
taking up the matter of water being
turned upon the public highways by
some of the rice planters. 1t seems
that that body did not act on the mat
tr; very probably the matter was not
presented to them; and why?
The only conclusion for non action
very probably was that if the Police
Jury and the District Attorney are
powerless to enforce the law and pros
ecute violations of the same, the auth
oriaties would still be powerless to act
effectively on any indictments the
Grand Jury might find. There is moth
ing new for the Grand Jury to find
out; what they would learn by an in
vestigation--s strictly on that line
is already known by the Police Jury,
the District Attorney and everybody
else. An investigation of this subject
by the Grand Jury might bring to
light, only nothing has been done to
enforce the law, and some other
things possibly. The Police Jury has
spent thousands of dollars Oh our pub
lie highways; it has passed laws and
resolved this way and that; with a
view to protect its public roads; yet
the roads are dumping ground for
the sake of few private dollars which
a few hope to save at the expense OF
the public. The rice planters are not
all violating the law only few are;
neither are they all i'll favor of letting
some violate the law while majority
protect the public from their waste
water; all must comply. But how
IAN it be done. The Police Jurymen
are certainly not all in the rice bust
ness. They are an intelligent and
lctive body and they have it within
heir jurisdiction to enforce the ordi-
lances they make, without invoking
he aid of the Grand Jury. They
rave District Attorney and al, the
'heriffs behind them and they better

the company to get interest in all the
