HOW ABOUT IT.

There IS already number OF
eubernational candidates in the
field, seemingly eager for the fray,
and there is room for Others.
Several people are nominating
candidates for this important
Office and as nominations are in
order The Sentinel would like to
see another favorite in the race.
He is man who stands high in
Louisiana; q clean man in public
and private life. He is q man in
whom can be placed tie most i'm
plicit confidence; one who would
not violate a public trust. He Is
a man well known for soundness
of judgement and firm c0nvic-
tons. He knows the needs OF
Louisiana: is identified with the
wonderful progress mace along
all lines in recent years. His
democracy is simon pure and
cannot be questioned. His
private record is clear. His
public and political record Is ab-
soiuteiy clean. His moral aud
intellectual qualifications measure
up to. the highest standard. he
is one man of but few others In
whose hands the people could
With safety unite in placing the

Every Office, which is drawing
money from the State for need
less or unnecessary functions, is
public plumber.
Every officer paid out of the
peoples Golfers for no value re-
Iceived or inadequate value re.
ceived, is thieving.
Every cent of money so expend.
|ed-badIy needed-in this State,
all needed for the education OF
the children alone and, rightly
used, would make us rich in
general intelligence, enlighten-
ment and culture, and all those
things which lift man above the
the beast and maze life worthy
to be lived.
We have a magnificent COM
monwealth of limitless opportu-
nifty. dwarfed by petty men and
drones in public life, who have
made of public life the profession
of self-serving-and this by q
system of SO multiplying offices
and so concentrating them in one
hand as to make the people pow
erless before the machine.
This condition it behooves us
to destroy with honest and de-
determined insistence.
This condition has in it the
elements of self-de struction, con-
ditioned only on making all the
people of the State realize the
infamy of it and the public good
we could do if we dedicated as
much attention and as much
money to public good as we are
dedicating to politicians and their
henchmen.
1t behooves us all to look this
condition squarely in the face, to
the ledger of our public
affairs rs we would that of our
private business, to cut out the
and the leakages and
apply the amounts where they
will do public good and SO to
shake up our entire polity es to
bring abont a condition wherein
The people and not the governor
and his political machine may
rule.-Harlequin.

When an innocent white girl is
assaulted BY brute of q negro,
it is not to be wondered It that
the passions of some men become
50 aroused that they are in a
mood for lynching. The only
remedy is to stop quibbling with
the law and give these brutes the
legal punishment they deserve,
and without loss of time. They
are deserving of death. but it
should be administered on the
gallows and BY the sheriff.

There is q certain irony about
Senator Platt's suggestion that
Senator Aldrlch be nominated
Vice-Presideut. As Mr.. Aldrich
is the most ardent of "stand

resentative of the Standard Oil
Company on the floor of the
Senate his nomination by the
republicans would be singularly
appropriate. He would be able
to keep the President sin linz"

President Roosevelt has dealt
labor unions a serious blow by
the reinstatement of William a.
Miller as assistant foreman of
the Government Printing Office.
Miller was expelled from the
labor organization of which he
was a member and the Govern
ment Printer promptly discharged
him. Now MIR. Roosevelt has re-
instated him. The action may be
right in itself but for a professed
trend OF all organized labor it is
a peculiar action.
immigration for the fiscal year
just ended passed all previous
records, nearly a million aliens
having come to the United States,
most Of them being the lowest
class of labor from the most un-
desirable parts of Europe. OF
course the American manufact-
urer must be protected from all
possible competition but the
American laboring man can ex- |
pect no protection from cheap
labor. Senator Elkins and other
men OF his stamp who represent
the employers of cheap labor in
Congress will permit no additional
restrictions on immigration.
