Floating Punln In Operation.

The big floating pump installed il
the river opposite the mouth Of Bayou
Lafourche began operation yester-
day morning and is working without q
hitch. The barge on which the pump is
built is 8Ox30 feet and is very solidly
constructed. The pump has mini
mum capacity of $4,000, 900 gallons in
twenty-four hours and maximum of
possibly 100000 gallons. Water IS
forced through SIS feet Of pipe thirty
six inches in diameter and supplies
five syphons eighteen inches in diane
ter, which in turn convey the water
over the dam and empty il into the
bayou. It is thought that in little less
than fortnight the salt water in the
bayou will be forced back to the gull
and the stream rendered fresh and fit
foruse once more. The pumping station
was built by the Lafourche and Atcha-
falaya Levee Boards at a cost OF
$4,000, and the joint committee which
supervised its construction and install
lation is constituted as follows: j. S.
Brady, George Lorio and D. J. Foret,
of the Lafourche Board; Thomas
Beary, Honore Dugas and 4. G. Irwin,
Of the Atch afalaya Board. V. Maurin,
president OF the Lafourche Board, who
resides at Donaldsonville, has been
authorized to act as superintendent OF
the running station

Having a Nightmare.

The high-handed manner in which President
Roosevelt has dealt with the republic OF Pan
ANA, over the matter of the Panama canal, has
engendered feeling of extreme bitterness on
the part of the Panamaians against the United
States which has reached very critical stage.
So critical. in fact that the president has
deemed it advisable to send Secretary of War
Taft to the scene to try and "cool of" the hot
headed Central Americans until after election,
at lsast.-Daily Times.
Wake up, wake up, neighbour You've
got a nightmare from absorbing too
much Democratic campaign literature.
There's no trouble down in Panama
worth worrying about, and 40 three
men in the world who could handle it
better if there was than President
Roosevelt, Secretary Hay and Secre-
.tary Taft, who besides being past

gels of peace and justice. There never
was any intention of sending Judge
Taft to Panama before the election,

The Three to Kill.

Tt is the settled opinion of The Chief,
after dae consideration OF all the ar
guments that have come under our no.
tice for and against the proposed con-
stitutionai amendments to be voted On
next Tuesday, that twelve Of the fifteen
measures may safely and properly be
approved by the people, but the other
three ought to be "killedn outright.
The trio we have selected as fit sub
iects for slaughter are numbered !, 2
and on the Official ballot.
No. / is the million-dollar school
bond scheme.
No. 2 is a proposition to revive the
discredited circuit court system abol-
ished by the constitution of 1898 and
demongtra by experience to be a
fifth wheel to the judicial coach.
No. proposes to give Caddo parish
another district judge--to be appointed
by the governor, OF course.
THE TWELVE TO FAVOR.
The numbers and purposes of the
remaining twelve amendments are as
follows:
No. 3 exenpts new railroads from
taxation for ten years from January
/, 1905.
No. 4 increases the salary OF the
attorney general.
No. increases the salary of the
superintendent Of public education.
No. I provides for an increase in
the pensions of INDECENT Confederate
veterans.
Nos. and 8 authorize increased
appropri ations for the maintenance Of
the Louisiana State University and
Louisiana Industrial Institute, re-
spectively.
No. 10 makes the judges Of the su-
preme court elective.
Nos. IL, u, Is and IA provide re-
spectively for the filing of vacancies
in the Offices of sheriff, district judge,
district attorney and clerk OF court by
election instead of gubernatorial APP
pointment.
No. Is authorizes the creation of
municipal sewerage districts.

Hammering Blanchard's Bond Scheme.

Governor Blanchard's pet scheme
to raise million dollars to build
schoolhouses and political reputation
with, received one OF the hardest
knocks that has yet been given it when
United States Senator Murphy J. Fos-
ter followed the lead of his colleague,
Senator Samuel d. McEnery, and de-
clared his opposition to the project.
Senator McEnery announced his atti-
tude on the subject several weeks ago,
and last Sundays issues of the New
Orleans Tlmes-Demcerat and Pieayune
contained an elaborate statement of
Senator Fosters objections to the
school-bond amendment.
Senator Foster discusses the cues
ton in all its phases and demonstra tes
by a convincing array of facts and
figures the unnecessary and unwise
character of the proposition to add a
big sum to the states already large
indebtedness and to increase the an
nual expenditure for interest by
$50, 900, merely for the purpose Of pro-
yiding means for the construction OF
new sehoolhouses. Taking the 6nan-
eial record of the Heard administra-
ton as q criterion, the sen ator shows
that it is entirely feasible to aecumu
late million dollars from the surplus
revenues during the four-year guber-
Material term without resorting to the
issuance of bonds or aagmenting the
rate Of taxation.
Right on the heels of Senator Eos
ter's pronouneement came the inter-
esting news that Lieutenant Governor
Jared y. Sanders had taken the stump
with Congressman Broussard ii the
third district and was raking the
Blanchard bond scheme fore aud aft.
To cap the climax of misfortune for
the specious project. Attorney General
w alter Guion has rushed into printa
with the statement of his opinion that
the state board of education cannot
legally apportion the million-dollar
fund to the various parishes and per-
nit it TO be controlled and expended
by the local school boards, as con-
tenplated by resolutions adopted at a
recent meeting Of the state body. These
resolutions aere prepared and SUBJ

Another Blow at the Bond Issue.
Communicated
Editor Chief, Donaldsonville, La:


Tuesday Eext the people throughout
their views on the proposed school
able article has pointed out clearly
that the proposed issue is a bad move
from business standpoint. But
above all, what appeals to me as the
strongest argument against the pro-
posed amendment is the fact that from
an educational standpoint, we have
greater, more crying needs than school
buildings. What we need money for
is for better salaries for the teachers
in order that we may have more and
better teachers and longer terms Of
schools. In this parish there are at
present about thirty eight school build
ings and in but few of them is school
taught for more than five or six
months il the year. The scholastic
year should be nine months; the short
term we now have is due to the lack Of
funds. In every ward of this parish
will be found patriotic citizens
ever ready to donate school
sites and contributions will be
promptly forthcoming in order to
erect suitable school buildings
The people in the New River section
have built for themseles in the Big
Swamp school and the Dutchtown
Academy schools of which any COM
munity may we'll feel proud. The peo-
pie have been educated to contribute
their mite towards school sites and
buildings. Once let it be known that
s13, 900 are to be spent in purch asing
school sites, and no longer will lands
be don ated. Of what benefit VIII it be
to the children to have handsomer
structures, if there be no teachers pres
ent to instruct? A competent teacher
at good pay for nine months 10 the
year in a modest school house is what
we have crying need of. Did not
A brah am Lincoln secure his education
in a log cabin? Let US not add to our
already too heavy burdens: let US
save the interest which these bonds
would cost; let US appropriate that
saving in paying good teachers good
salaries. and let US have them teach
our children for nine months in the
year. By all means let US not add to
Blanchard's already too great power
by placing IN his hands and in the
hands of his appointees, his servants
not the people's-S1, 900, 000to be ex-
pended in buying lands and erecting
buildings. Our duty to our children
is indeed, sacred. Let us perform it
by voting so1idly against the proposed
bond issue. WALTER LEMANN.
The foregoing communication was
sent in to the Daily Times for publica-
ton, but was refused by the publisher
of that paper on the ground that he
had decided to have nothing to say on
the bond issue. This is an example of
the freedom of the press when domi-
mated by the administration. W. L.

AT the Play.


At the Phoenix last Saturday w.
B. Patton appearedin 1.-THE Last Rose
of Summer at the matinee and SsThe
Minister'S Son. at night. As "Dex-
ter Hurley in the former play and
sssImon Ray" in the latter, Mr.. Pat
ton fully sustained the excellent repu-
tation he made here last season and
pleased large audience at each per-
furmance with his clever characterize
tions. The company supporting him
was not at all adequate, with the ex-
ception of Miss Mignon Oxer, who as
"Sadie Reynolds" in s'The Last Rose
of Summer, was dainty and pleasing
and thoroughly up to her part.
Sunday afternoon and night the
Great Barlow Minstrels held the
boards at the Phoenix, appearing be-
fore a crowded house at each per-
Torrance. The company is one OF the
best in the ranks Of minor minstrel or
CARNATIONS and gave complete salts
faction to the local theatre goers.
Aiken, the contortionist, is a wonder,
and Tier, Burke and Mcdonald, aero
batic comedians, are among the clever
est ever seen here. Most of the jokes
and funny sayings perpetrated by the
end men were new and catchy, and the
singing was not by any means the
least attr active feature of the program.
Tomorrow afternoon and night
Yards Minstrels are billed to appear
at the Phoenix and treat is said to
be in store for lovers of minstrelsy.
The company numbers over forty mem
bers and carries two bands and lot
of special scenery. The frst-part set
ting, entitled "a Night on the Ter
race" is said to be very pretty and
well worth seeing. The matinee is an
nouneed for ESQ O'Clock and the night
perform ance for $50.
The piece de resistance of the local
theatrical season is scheduled for Mon
day, when Shakespeare's cleverest
comedy, Twelfth Night, with Miss
Charlotte Burnett as "Viola,'' will be
presented at the Phoenix by Joseph
Shipman's excellent company. Sup
porting Miss Burnett are such we'll
known players as Geo. Seybolt, f. J..
| Mccarthy, Henry Halleck, Joseph Will
son, Elizabeth Valentine, Irene Eckis
and others, all of whom have won dis
tinction in Shakespearean roles. This
attraction plays only one-night stands
| and requires a guarantee before ar
ranging performance, and local pa
irons of the play should appreciate
| Manager Keating's enterprise in SCI
curing Twelfth Night for Donald
sonYille.
1.-THE James Boys in Missouri" a
thrilling melodrama, will be presented
at the Phoenix Tuesday night, and the
| following night Billy Kersands' Min
strels will hold the bords.
Next Friday night the Phoenix pa
irons will have the opportunity OF
witnessing that much-heralded actress,
Adelaide Thurston, who is billed to
| appear in "Polly Primrose" Miss
Thurston is one of the very daintiest
and most capable of the younger stars
| on the American stage, and she
should be greeted by a packed house
on the occasion Of her first visit to
| Donaldsonvi1le. The company sup
porting her is said to be a very strong
| one, including number of southern
/ favorites, and the eng agement sprom-
Uses to be one of the most successful
of the current season-both from the
| standpoint of attendance and artistic
elegance.

Next Tuesdays National Contest.

A candid estimate of the respective
Oh ances of the country's two great po-
litical parties for success in the battle
of ballots to be fought at the polls on
Tuesday indicates that the advantage
is largely with the Republicans and
that The election of Roosevelt and
Fairbanks may be set down as a
reasonable certainty. Although Dem
ocratic politicians and newspapers
are making many claims to the con-
trary, and endeayoring to create the
impression that a sudden revulsion
of sentiment is taking place in some
of the so-ealled doubtful states that
will tend to give their electoral votes
to the Democracy, there is appar-
emily no tangible basis for such an
assumption.
In New York, for instance, there is
some probability tn at the Republican
state ticket may not pull through, but
it is generally conceded that the states
electoral vote will be given to Roose-
welt and Fairbanks, and the only
wagers of any consequence being made
on the result hinge upon the size of the
Republican majority. Odds on the
state fight have varied from one side
TO the other, the latest quotations
showing small preponderance in
favor of the proposition that the Dem
ocrats will elect their candidates. 1t
is manifest and not disputed that with
out the electoral vote of New York
there can be no hope of the success of
the Democratic national ticket, where
as the Republicans might lose New
ork and yet carry the country.
Judge Parker has abandoned the
policy of 'sdignitied siience' which
was announced early In the campaign
as his idea OF the right and proper
thing for presidential candid ate to
adopt, and has taken the stump in
New York, New Jersey and Connect
cut to advocate his own cause and de-
nounce his opponents with a degree Of
energy and eagerness that is worthy
achievements of VIM. Jennings Bryan
ia the same direction. Judge Parker's
stwhir1Wind campaign" in the three
states named is "a trump card the
Democratic managers have had up
their sleeves to be played at the last
moment in the hope of taking the OPP
position by surprise and turning the
trick - in their own favor, but Col.
Bryan's whirlWinds were empty of re-
suits save as to the great amount Of
furry and dust they raised, and there
is every reason to believe that Judge
Parker's tornado will be equally i'm
potent to sway the minds OF the people,
who have judged President Roosevelt
and the Republican party by what they
have done-not by thl misconstruc-
tions and misrepresentation which
malice and selfish interest launch
against them.
We cannot doubt that the pop
ular verdict to be recorded on Tues
day will be overwhelmingly in favor of
the Republican candidates and the
maintenance of the principles and pol
ieies for which they stand in the adj
ministration Of the national govern
ment. It would be unfortunate for the
whole country, but particularly so for
Louisiana, if the outcome were other
wise.
