Their Dander Up.

It seems that the Morehouse
Clarion has stirred up the ire OF
some of the business men of Bas-
trop by publishing notice to the
effect that, none1of the merchants
had Christmas goods to dispose
of. This jocular notice was
prompted by the fact that no
such goods were advertised in the
Clarion, the only paper published
in the town, and it seems that
some of the merchants who do
not believe in advertising are
threatening to boycott the Clarion.
In referring to the threatened loss
of its source of life the Clarion
thus interestingly and pointedly
remarks: "We thought that ad-
vertising didn't pay, and can't see
why they should be so disturbed
about our little notice. How then
is it to effect them? We don't
get our support from the town Of
Bastrop. What the merchants
do for us wouldn't support jay
bird. Take two out Of the larg-
est establishments in the town,
for instance, that do thousands of
dollars worth Of business year
the Bastrop Mercantile Co. and
L. Silbernagel & Co. During the
last year the former hasn't given
US line of advertising and no job
work during the entire year, and
the latter two little jobs and four
lines of advertising constitute its
sum total to the Clarion. How
does that strike you! Wouldn't
it be ruinous to the Clarion for
them to withdraw their support,
especially the Bastrop Mercantile
Co. ?"
So it is everywhere. There are
some people in business whose
niggardly methods and littleness
of soul makes them pigmies in the
business and social world, yet the
local paper to which they con-
tribute no support is expected to
engage in fulsome praise of them
when there is the slightest excuse
for so doing, and to keep mum as
lamp post when there happens
to be something rotten about.
When the local papers get in the
habit of telling things as they are,
not jestingly, but seriously
some of these business seabs will
learn more about the force of ad-
vertising.-Homer Clipper.

War between Japan and Russia,
which has been expected for sew
eral months, finally opened Wig
orously last Monday when Japan
attacked the Russian fleet at Port
Arthur with a torpedo fleet, sink
ing one Russian cruiser and dis
abling two big battleships under
the guns of the mighty fortltica-
tions of Port Arthur without loss
to the Japs. The same day the
Japanese sank two more Russian
Warships at Chemalpo and cap
tured a transport with 1000 Rus
sian troops on board, EN- route to
reinforce the Russian army in
Manchuria. We might now ex-
pect some lively times in the Far
East from this on. The Japs
have had things all their own way
thus far, and Russia will no doubt
have her hands full in keeping up
with the procession.

Jastremski and the Bosses.

General Jastremski made fine
campaign and one which was bene,
fetal to the party and to the eub-
lie, as it caused the issues of lAe
day to be better discussed and tR-
derstood than otherwise would
have been the case; but he placed
a little too much stress on the So
called "boss" issue. His cam
paign would have been stronger
had he crowded the primary and
the abrogation of the Governor s
patronage little more and said
little less about the bosses
Guardian-Journal.
Jastremski's fight against the
Bosses was correct. The Bosses
were an issue, as they must be in
the future. The vote of New Or
leans indicates The power of the
Bosses. It WAS through the in
fiuence of the Bosses that the
calling in his friend clause was
made part of the rules of the
Central Committee. Without this
rule the Bosses would have been
overwhelmed in defeat. They had
their own way from the beginning
to the end, but the issues are still
alive and will not down or die.
The issues which aligned nearly
thirty thousand voters in the State
with Jastremski will prevail in
time. The issue of Bossism must
be fought over again, and next
time the people and not the Bosses
will triumph. In the next four
years will be demonstrated the
power of the Bosses as it never
has before in the history of Lou
isiana. Such utterances on the
part Of the Caucasian may be
deemed reasonable, but fortu-
nately the Caucasian expects no
fayors from the Bosses, and is
seeking no political reward or
recognition from any source what
ever. 1t will continue to fight the
battle for the people for the prin-
ciples which led it to give loyal
and unlimited support to General
Jastremski.-Caucasian.
