CA S'ARRANGE.

The political situation in this
parish is now working little bet
ter in the opposition, or Rees
camp, one of the candidates men,
tiobed for the Office of Sheriff, Mr..
Fournet has entirely given up the
idea. so we are informed, and the
others seem to have come to some
understanding that make them
look more hopeful.
The leaders Of the opposition,
who are adopts in political affairs
seem to be doing some pretty &C
tive work, and we can expects some
surprises in the shape of strong
combinations.
In the mean time the Badon
faction, which is apparently weak,
have all their forces moving and
they are doing some work too.
All will depend upon the COM
position of the tickets, the best
ticket will get the support of the
voters who, today, are more indie
pendent than in past years, and
will not follow the factions blind
ly, but will support the ticket that
will be of their choice regardless
of factions.
The factions seem entirely dis
organized, and those who are tax
ing an active part in this coming
campaign will have to depend up.
On the composition of their ticket,
more than upon the prejudices oil
the old faction lines, which have
entirely disappeared, with the de.
struction of the power Of bossis m
today the people are the rulers
and they are bound to no politi.
clans or factions.
They will look towards those
who are better qualified to repre-.
sent their interests.

A great deal has been said in
opposition to primaries on the
ground that they engender too
much bitterness and prejudice. In
fact this seems to be one of the
main and pet arguments of the op-
position. Now we are willing to
concede a great deal for the sake
of peace and harmony. but if ii
can only be purchased or main
tanned by sacrificing the right of
every individual voter, no matter
how humble, to a direct voice in
the SELECTION of his candi-
dates, by the identical methods
and under the same laws which
privilege him to a voice in the
ELECTION. then, we say, let
harmony be thrown to the winds.
Peace and harmony are very de-
sirable, but there is such a thing
as asking too much for it. What
men conceive to be for the best,
for truth, for justice, for freedom.
should not be sacrificed or aban-
doned, perchance, simply because
a little friction may be incurred in
the effort to secure it. Under such
a policy this country would never
have gained its independence.
However, if it were possible to
arouse and perpetuate any more
bitterness and prejudice than the
present political system breeds, we
would be inclined to hesitate be-
fore indorsing primaries. We will
admit that much. The Felicia mas.

A BOY OF HIS SIZE.
BY ]. L. HARBOUR.

in since and see a small mate
abused by an older one.
1t invariably indicate coward
ly spirit on the part of the one
who always "picks on" a boy
smaller than himself, and the big
fellow never gets or deserves any
sympathy when he comes to grief
through his failure to choose zone
of his size" when he wants to
fight.
Ten or twenty schoolboys were
on their way to school in an cas-
tern city, one day recently, when a
boy of sixteen among them began
to tease little fellow OF perhaps
twelve years.
Suddenly the annoyed smaller
boy threw an apple core at the
termentor, whereupon the big one
assailed the little fellow brutality,
saying:
I'll let you know that you can
not throw apple cores at me! You
take that!"
The little fellow shrieked with
pain, but he could contend but
feebly against his far larger and
stronger asssilant, and none of his
schoolmates offered to 60 to his
relief.
Leaning against lamp-post up
the street was q typical gamin,
ragged, unkempt and far removed
from the tidy, well-fed and we'll
dressed schoolboys. Their life
ways were far apart. A bundle of
newspapers was under his arm,
and he seemed to be looking about
for customer. Suddenly he let
the UNFOLD papers drop to the
snowy ground and came running
lightly. and swiftly down the street,
his blue eyes aflame and his grimy
fists clenched. The next instant
the big, well-dressed assailant OF
the small boy found himself seized
by the collar and jerked violently
to the ground by boy of about
his own size, who said, boldly:
"Take a kid O yer size when ye
want ter fight, yer big cowardl
Take kid O. yer size! Touch that
little kid ag'in if We dare!''
The big fellow struggled to his
feet, and said blusteringly::" Who
is going to keep me from touching
him if l want to-"
81 amp said the gamin, stand
ing as erect as West Point ca
Diet; and whipping off his ragged
jacket he gave his head a toss, and
said again:
81 am goin' to see that you
don't touch him ag'inl If you
want to fight, take a kid O. yer
size, l tell vel Try yer hand on
me!
"HumphF said the big fellow,
without, however, offering to touch
the "kid of his size"
eyer a coward, that's what you
arel" said the gamin. "Ye don't
dare touch kid O yer sizel''
Nor did he. Mumbling and
threatening, he walked off, with
the jeers of his schoolmates ring
ing in his ears.
The street gamin went on his
way also, unconscious, perhaps, of
the fact that, in his bold defense
of the weak against the strong. he
had manifested kind of heroism
all too rare among the boys of the
world.-From "Our Young Peo-

Blanchard for Primaries.

Judge Blanchard has made pub
lie his views upon the political 81
tuation, which is now being dis
cussed by the state press, and the
leading politicians of the country.
The large majority of the pa
pers and politicians who are in
close touch to the administration,
are favoring the convention plan,
for the simple reason that with
the plums that the Governor has
to give to the faithful of the pa
rishes, they can always pack the
convention and carry it the way
that pleases them. While with the
primary plan the influence of the
Governor, and the power of the
ring machine is completely des-
troyed, and the people become the
rulers of the political destiny of
the State.
Judge Blanchard was consider
ed to be the candidate of the adj
ministration, and il he WAS, it was
necessary for him to favor the
plan OF the administration, and ex-
press his views in favor of that
mode of selecting the candidates,
but as he comes out manfully, in
a clear and unmistakable paper in
favor of primaries, we must con-
clude that Judge Blanchard is
running on his own merits. and
not expecting favors and the no.
mination from a packed and tricky
convention. If Judge Blanchard
lie TO secure the nomination at the
primaries we are certain he will
make a Governor who will be free
from all political intrigues that
are 80 destateful to the people of
Louisiana, and that he will give
the Offices at his command to men
worthy to fill them instead of dish
ing them out to INSCRIPTIONS po-
iiticians for rascality performed
Ut the convention in giving him
their support against the wishes
of the voters and the intelligence
of the state.
Of the three announced candi-
dates for Governor two have come
out with desire to submit their
claims to the people, one trusting
in the support of the faithful ma
chinery of the state administra-
ton, and the power to pack a con-
vention that will be ready to act
according to the dictation of the
bosses.
Considering the claims and
views of the three Candidates, we
find Jastremski and Blanchard
submitting their names to the vo-
ters, the people for their approval.
and Price seeking the influence of
the state machinery to pack the
convention in his favor, because,
we know very few of the politi-
clans are disinterested patriots,
and the plums at the command of
the Governor is all the influence
that is necessary to rule conven-
ton.
All tue citizens who are not af-
ter paying Offices will admit that
the primary plan, is the proper
manner of selecting the candidates,
because their selection comes from
the people, the power that should
control th eaffairs of the state.
