Congressional and Judicial
Primary.

As the committee did not meet
till yesterday to promulgate the
full returns of the congressional
and judicial primary of July 70,
It is impossible for US to report
same in this issue. 1t suffices TO
know that Hon. Samuel NJ. Rob
ertson for Congress, Hon. Jos.
l. Golsan for district Judge, and
Geo. ]. Woodside Esq. for dis
trict attorney are the nominees.
The vote throughout the con-
gressional district was light As
Col Robertson had no opposition.
The vote in the judicial district
was better, owing to the spirited
race for district attorney be-
tween Messrs. Woodside and
Walker. The majority reported
from East Feliciana for the for
mer is 1O3 without the McKowen
box, which it is estimated will
run it up to $50. The vote for
West Feiiciana in re the Wood
side and Walker race is given in
another place and shows that the
former received 272 votes, the
latter -.
We congratulate the winners,
Col Robertson, Judge Golsan
and Mr.. Woodside. The public
has shown abundant confidence
in them and they will, we believe,
not fail to repay the public faith
in good service when the time
comes to do so.

Bad Bridges.

From more than Que source we
have heard complaints of the di-
lapidated and dangerous con-
dition of some of the bridges on
the Pinckneyviile road. Indeed
such is their condition that the
wonder is that some serious
casualty has not resulted, That
such has not been the case is a
proof both of careful driving on
the part of the public and of their
wonderful patience and endur-
ancc, not to say their lamenta-
BILE indifference in claiming what
is due them.
Those bridges especially report
ed as bad on this road are the
second, third and sixth bridges
beyond Big Bayou Sara creek
on towards Pinckneyville- All
of these bridges are bad, several
others are not perfect, but the
sixth bridge has its entire mid
die missing, and is really danger
Gus,
We know not in particular who
are responsible for these bridges.
hence, no personality is intend
ed, but public duty requires
that we comment upon their con-
dition and urge the proper au-
thorities to mend them inn
mediately before some serious
accident occurs.

The Mutual Building and Loan

None of our local institutions

that of tho Mutual Building q

statement of which appears else

citation has able officers, a char
ter modelled on one of the most
progressive companies of the
sort and conducts it's business in
energetic up-to-date manner.
The association now has 957
shares in force with four series
running, The Board of Direc-

series only on Jan. fst year, but
shares can be subscribed for at
any time by paying installments
from the previous January.
There are lis shares which
have been borrowed on, amount

no money at present to loan a.
the Board allows no money to
lie idle. The monthly income
of the association is 5000, from

Jefferson or Hamilton ?

On July IL, 1904, Alexander
Hamilton died from the effects
of his duel with Aaron Burr, and
there is 10 be some celebration of
the centennial of the event.
Hamilton s work has lasted, He
Is the ancestor par excellence
of the party in power to-day.
He gave impetus to the ideas
which are Characteristic of the
Republicans in 1904 as they
were of the Federalists a CEN
fury ago. Hamilton sympa-
thies were with property and
with a strong executive. Letting
people alone, to manage their own
affairs and make their own mis-
takes, was abhorrent to him.
He thought country should be
governed as much as possible,
Just as Jefferson and Madison
and Monroe thought it should
be governed as little as possible.
Hamilton thought that men Of
wealth were the safeguards OF
the nation, and his opponents
thought the power of money and
fashion was the direst threat to
freedom. Washington, like Col
lier's, saw truth in both couten-
tons; whereas Hamilton, like
our President, and Jefferson,
like Mr.. Cleveland, Mr.. Viii
liams and Mr.. Mcclellan, believ-
ed that Truth sat faithfully upon
one side. Hamilton would have
been a dangerous President

From time TO time, one hears
complaints of cruelty to children
and animals. Not often of cruel
ty to white children, though there
are some cases spoken of when
children are punished too fire.
quently and brutally beaten over
the head. Happily few cases ex-
ist, but these demand correction.
Many colored children are sorely
rnistreated. There arc no branch
societies here for the prevention
of cruelty to children or to ami
mails, but every man and woman,
who bears heart in his or her
BISON or even claims to bear
one, should consider that the cry
of child in distress, be it white
or black, the Eht of d dunn b
brute tortured, beaten or over
loaded, is an unofficial but heav-
en-given right to interfere, and
human law stands ready to back
such interference. Therefore
when YOU hear of such il.-.reat-
ment it is your duty to act.
Don't put it off. The groan of
a beast, the tortured cry of a
child ascends to heaven, and ac-
cuses all who hear it, before the
judgment bar of God.

VIM. J. Bryan's reasons for
supporting the Democratic ticket
are not due to party fealty, all
no, but first, because the party
stands against imperialism,
which was the paramount issue
of 1900. Second, because Mr..
Roosevelt is injecting the race
issue into American politics,
whereas the election of the Dem
ocratic ticket would permit il to
work itself out without the BIT
terness which Mr.. Roosevelt's
conduct has engendered. Third,
Mr.. Roosevelt stands for the
spirit of war and the Democratic
platform stands for peace. f ourth,
the Democratic platform stands
for the reduction of the stand
ing army. So far so good, and
if he would only be silent about
what he doesn't like, but silence
and Bryan are perpetually di-
vorced. He will continue to
knife the party by talking about
what he doesn't like. Just watch
him.

An effort will be made 10 Sc
cure a public school for Bayou
Sara. While this isnot a popular
measure with the School Board,
yet, while not presumiug 10
dictate TO that honorable body,
we cannot refrain from hearty
expression of our wish to see
Bayou Sara have a school, at
least for the primary grades. A
school embracing all grades
would not only weaken the use
fulness OF the school but would
work against the Graded School.
The distance up town is very far
for little ones and prevents at
tendance of some. a school
nearer at hand would not only
give such children better advsn-
tagcs, but would relieve the
crowded condition of the lower
grades at the St. Francisville
school, We hope Bayou Sara
will get her school.

Judge Reid for the Circuit Bench.

Judge Reid for the Circuit Bench.
The proposed change in our
judicial system by which it is
intended to return to the old
circuit court system with GER
tain changes and notifications,
seems fairly certain of accept
auce by the people in November.
One of the features of the change
in the application of this system
is the election Of the judges of
this court by the people instead
of by the Legislature. So far,
there are few names suggested
for these prospective positions,
and in this immediate district,
only single name. This being
true, We move to close nomina-
tions and make the election of
Judge r. R. Reid of Tangipahoa
