a FAIR STATEMENT.

Here is o line ettltOr1ai from tnc
Waterman. at Clinton, that tells
a simple, fair. statement OF the
weaknesses Of the claims and pro-
testations of General JastremskE
s..We like General JastreHaska.
but we do not like the way he has
conducted and is conducting his
campaign. We think. for in
stance, the Generals love of the
people is a little too recent.
ave ask any unprejudiced man
to say, why this cry of Blanchard
and bosses? 1t is mot that upon
that issue he may win? Does he
mean to say that he has more
love for the people than Blanch-
ard, McEnery,. Lawrason. Fluker.
Irwin and, others of that stripe.
Yet they are upon that side.
Does he mean to say that he will
do, the: state more good? How
car he2 He is not ADLER, bet
ter educated, more moral nor of
wider experience than Blanchard.
How then can he give better adj
Ministration than Blanchard?
Does having been secretary
/ of Gov. Heard make him filter
than having been in in Congress?
What does his campaign cry
mean? 1t is a piece of the purest
demagogucry to be c.assed with
those of old days, that charged
jefferson with being an atheist,
that represented Andrew Jackson
as a murderer, s. D. McEnery as
having no regard for the welfare
of Louisiana; and.in our sister
state, in her recent campaign,
Gov. Vardeman having beat his
board bill.
"Away with such clap trap and
rot! No sensible East Felici-
anian can be taken in with such
stuff. They know that .Jastrcm-
ski wants the Office he seeks
and if he can give them good and
sufficient reasons to convince
them that he is better fitted for
the Office than Blanchard and will
give them better administration
they will vote fos him, but not
till then.
"The issue we have to discuss,
General, is, who is the best man
for the Office. The only way we
see to determine this is by judge
ing the past, aud the record is
clearest and straightest in favor
| of n. G. Blanchard" :.

STALL TRICKS.

In, the workings q politics
there arc more ways tn skill a
dog than choking him to death
on butter. 1t does not require
. particularly smart man to work
tricks IN politics. 1t only re-
quires y knack for such things to
work them to perfection. Some
times, in order TO work tricks,
it is nsssary to carry them into
high places and some men are
even carry them there, SO strong
is their desire to have their tricks
worked:
This is true of nearly all tricks
in politics. but the question that
now presents itself to US is the
marshalship in Winfield. The
fSentineI has M more interest in
this matter than lililanny Of the cit
liens who have busted themselves
in getting the vacancy caused by
the resignation Of Marshal Shaw
filled by some good man. That
is IS for as our interest goes and
we have no pet in the matter.
The people spoke in a primary cleo
ton and we were in favor of
them being heard, and we are
glad to record that Govener Heard
recognized the people instead of
the plcadings of a few who would
shave it their way or bust 1t
was hoped the matter was settled
when MIR. Witt was appointed,
but now Senator Wallace informs
us in his usual style, that it always
comes his way. and when the
matter of confirming the appoint
ment comes up in the Senate,
which met in Baton Rouge yester-
day, and he moves that the ap-
pointment be not confirmed, i,
will not be done. His warmest
friends done believe that he viii,
resort to so small a trick to carry
his point, but his action in the
matter will be watched.
The appointment of Mr.. Witt
was acceptable to The Sentinel.

to cay right now that 1 was graft
fed to see the frank and open
manner in which you. "a public
man, wonld talk about the con-
ditions of the south to this, a
northern visitor, and we'll re-
member the eloquent way in
" hich you defended our poodle
here in the sorrows and trials and
burdens they had had to bear.
However, this was no sur
prise to me, because that has
been your record all.your life in
this section of being both ready
and willing at all times to take up
the battles of the white people of
the south.
".In conclusion, l want to say
l can hardly blame Mr.. Raymond
for not having reported you cor
rectly, for the simple reason that
during the entire conversation
with you. lasting possibly an hour
and a half, he did not take a
single note of any kind, and being
,shorthern man, he could not
possibly reproduce from memory
the sentiments and feelings which
YOU, as southern man, had eX-
pressed to him. l am sorry that
every white man or woman in the
south could not have beard you
talking i'm their behalf to this
representative of a northern and
hostile paper, for if they had, it
would surely have proven to
them that you, at least, were
ready to fight their battles as
against all Corners.

paign in what I conceived to be

utter in public speech or private
co nversation against Judge Banks

treat me with the same degree of
courtesy. l have met Judge
Barksdale several times upon the
stump since this campaign
opened. l have met him long
after he knew all about this al

knew of it, because he told
friends about it who mentioned 1t
to me, but never, by word or
sign, when he and / were before
the people, speaking from the
same platform and to the same
audience, did he refer to this as
any reason why the people should
not vote for me. l have met him
in South and North Louisiana,
and it would seem that if he had
anything to say against me that
was the time and tine occasion.
But he waits until he gets way
down in South Louisiana, when
l am not present, to make this
against me. Happily

OF the millions of people, who today suffer
from nervous or heart weakness, large per
centage trace the cause directly to. deadly
LaGrippe. 1t is a germ disease, and makes
a direct attack upon the nerves, putting an
extra strain upon them at the time their vital
ity is at the lowest ebb. If LaGrippe has
left YOU with shattered nervous system, with
loss of appetite, lack of energy, insomnia,
frequent headaches and morbid tendencies,
YOU should strengthen the weakened nerves
with DIR. Miles Neryine. 1t will undo all
that grip has done, bring back appetite, rest
and restore the nerves to their normal activity.

benefit of those who have suffered from that
dreaded disease-LaGrippe. suffered sew

day felt better than in weeks. 1t gave me
relief, built up my shattered nerves and gave

highly of it and want to say, each and every

Accidents at pleasanton.

Last week was historical week for
accidents to the people of our vicinity,
especially children. The first of the
week a little girl of Mr.. and Mrs. John
Stuteville west of town, got to playing
with the rope which runs through a
pully hauling hay into the barn loft, and
put her hands too close to the pully,
catching thumb and first three fingers
decorating the flesh and unjointing one
finger. Fortunately the horse taat was
doing the hauling, stopped at the first
noise and the pully being small, saved
her hand and u chance to loose an arm
She was brought to town and Drs. Macy
! & Son gave it the necessary attention
and now she is reported doing nicely.
About the middle of the week Frank
Hutchinson was working around a horse
power machinery and got one hand be-
tween a lover and Il wheel and as re-
suit got bruised hand ncccsitating the
services Of a doctor, and carrying the
injured member in sling few days.
Otto Hutchinson while doing some work
horse back at home last Friday received
an injury to one of his feet by the horse
falling that gave him considerable pain
DR.. Trimble was called and found two OF
three bones of the foot broken. He put
the foot in splints. 1t goes a little hare
with Otto to have to stay out of the
field.
Saturday evening George Young, The
Oldest boy of Mr.. and Mrs. Bert Young
north of town, came too near one o
their horses with the result that TIN
animal kicked him on the face but for
tunately not breaking any bones blu
making an ugly and painful wound. A
first it was reported that the little fcl
low would die, but later anxious one
were glad to learn it was only report
He is doing we'll at this writing.
Mrs. VIM. Smith while canning frui
Monday, tried to get more in glass ia

result the jar broke and cut large bi

Biennial Elections.

Kcokuk Gate City: The Sioux City
Journal suggested the other day that
now would be a good time to discuss
the question of q constitutional amend
ment for biennial elections of this state.
1t will be recalled that the people Of
, Iowa voted for change from annual
to biennial elections when the Titus
amendment was before them in 1900;
but the courts decided that the amend
mcnt was not legally submitted. In all
probability like amendment will be
submitted by the coming legislature.
Some of the papers are assuming that
there has been no change OF opinion
since that time, and that the second
amendment will be adopted by an in
creased majority. Such an outcome is
not Improbable, but that does not ar
que against thoughtful consideration Of
the subject and possible reversion of
the verdict of three years ago.
When the matter was up for consid-
GRAFTON before very little attention was
given it from the standpoint Of it's NOR
it's. There was small interests in it one
way or the other, and it was submitted
by the legislature and endorsed by the
people without much thought of consc-
|quenccs. It's Importance was not gen
orally recognized and those who enter
tanned doubts as to the eNpediency OF
the proposed change were content for
the most part to let the matter go by
default. There was more interest and
anxiety, ii Will be recalled, to have tile
supreme court declare against it anc
thus get rid of the complications it en-
tailed than there was as regards either
it's adoption or rejection in the leglsla
ture or at the polls. Now as then the
Gate City seriously doubts the wisdom
: of making any change. 3 x &
The situation that has prevailed il
Iowa can be contrasted very favorabl,
with that in ncighboring states where
- they have the plan it is proposed to in
= augurate here, as witness most notabl,
. :, the state of Illinois. 1t is wise t.
''provc all things" and "hold fast t

which has worked we'll for over fit
years and on the whole has promote

it fluence of the present system and tn
p fact that the annual election keeps til

The situation in this respect is niue

unreasonable to believe that the II
