Although the republicans have
coined more silver 5O-cent dollars
in their seven years of administra-
ton than has ever been coined
before in the same length of time,
eastern financial magnates have
discovered that even this coinage
of dishonest money has failed to
supply the volume of money neces-
sary to carry on the business of this
big country, and are now clamor-
ing for an asset currency which
they can issue and call in at their
pleasure. 1t has developed that a
stringency exists in the money
market, and it is necessary to have
large volume Of money to move
the crops of the west, as well as to
take care of the ssstock" on Wall
street; hence the launching OF the
asset currency scheme.

only college they could enter, and
there We're no preparatory schools to

In directing the attention of the
Democratic voters of st. Landry
to the announcement in today's
COURIER of Mr.. Charles Lafeur,
of Whlteville, as a candidate for
Clerk of Court for this parish, it
affords us pleasure to be able to
state that the gentleman is not
only a lifelong Democrat, but
thoroughly in accord with the
COURIER on the primary election
question, and is in favor of gen.
eral primaries for the selection
of all candidates for office, from
Governor to ward constables. He
believes that every Democratic
voter should have chance to
express his preference for the
candidate of his choice for every
Office in the State without the in
reference Of political ring,
clique or combination. That's S
genuine Democracy, without any
frills, frlnges or fudge.

A Logical Sequence.

The frequent outbursts of vio-
lence in the north in cases where
the negro is the instigator are due
in great measure to the policy
of the President. Bringing to the
front the question of race equality
as he has done in several in
stances, and in so prominent a
manner, has disturbed the friendly
relations that have existed for so
long a time between the two races.
When Mr.. Roosevelt first began
the Inauguration of his dangerous
policy the South foresaw the great
danger that lurked beneath such
a method, and he was warned of
the impending danger. He did
not receive these warning in
friendly spirit, and today he must
fully appreciate the grave conse-
quences that have come from his
acts.
The negro has offended the peo-
pie of the North, and for the time
being lynchings are transferred
from the South to Northern lands.
More than this, the people of the
North show much less tolerance
than do those of the South for
such offendings.
Here in the South lynching
follows the preparation of GER
tain crime as surely as does the
night follow the day. 1t is quick,
sudden, inevitable, and the act is
all over with. But in the North
these lynchings create riots in
which the races come in deadly
conflict. This is due to the teach
ings of the Northern people them
selves, aggravated by the acts of
the President. In a word, the
chickens have come home to
roost, and the trouble is not yet
at an end.-Avoyelles Blade.

Wonderful Scientific Invention.

DIR. [. E. Shute has secured an
improved electric appliance for
the treatment of many diseases
by electricity, notably cancer and
consumption. The apparatus is
one of the latest improved, and
it's operations are truly wonder
full, especially the celebrated x
rays attachment, which enables
the operator to examine the in
ternal construction of the human
anatomy without a surgical oper-
alton. By means of this attach
ment any foreign substance can
be exactly located in any part of
the body, and in fact any metallic
object is plainly discernible
through any thickness of wood,
paper, leather, etc., as distinctly
as if the intervening substance
was clear glass. We appreciate
DIR. Shute's progressiveness and
enterprise in securing this WON
derful machine for the scientific
treatment of diseases by the latest
improved methods.

The cost of primary, which
Mr.. Price mentions as serious
objection, will scarcely bear a
very close examination in the light
of Mississippi's experience. All
the candidates for Governor in
that State are poor men. Sena-
tor Noel, who is one Of the can
didates, and the author of the
primary law, thought the cost of
a primary would not be over $75
for each candidate. He is slight
ly in error, as the counties are as
sessing the gubernatorial candi-
dates $3.50 each. This would
make the cost in Louisiana for a
gubernatorial candidate $r32. No
candidate for the governorship of
Louisiana has ever made his cam
paign as cheaply as this.-Louis.
