The southern sentinel. (Winnfield, La.) 1883-1910, 1904-09-29

Things in Orleans parish has
been warm for the past several
days, the local campaign going on
there and the interests divided n
usual. Judging from the news
lpapers of the city the people were
| d unit on the selection Of GER
| tain individual for district at
torney. but the bosses were made
| to do as Governor Blanchard
wished and another man was nomi-
mated. This precipitated a vitrio-
lie outburst among the press and
an Indignation meeting on the
part of the people. All kinds of
charges have been made accusing
the governor of breaking a pledge
previously made that he would
Islands off" in the matter. etc..
etc.
1t is felt by the people of the
balance of the state that the city
papersshave been unduly harsh
towards the governor and that
they have gained nothing by their
attacks. while it is also believed
that the governor has lowered
himself in the esteem of his
friends by being pulled into this
fight by his enemies. for enemies
it were who have urged him to
take hand. Dominick O'Malley,
a known Republican, was leader
of the opposition to what the ma
jority of the papers of the city
said was the choice of the people,
and the governor used his power
to compel the ward bosses TO
carry out O'Malley's desires. 1t
will require some tine for the
governor to regain the confidence
of his friends. who feel that he
should have had too much re-
gard for the exalted position he
occupies as governor to allow
himself to become mixed up in a
mud-slinging local fight.

COTTON PRICES.

WINFIELD is now paying within
a few points of the Shreveport
mark ct price for all the cotton
brought to this market. There
have been instances, however, in
the past week when the farmers
thought they had not been offered
the worth of their cotton. They
had heard that it sold at some
other place for few points more
than they could get here but
failed to consider the fact
that several days had elapsed
since that time and that cotton
prices change almost every day.
Several farmers brought cotton
to town the other day and were
offered 1885. They were not
satisfied because they had heard
that it sold somewhere for 1918.
They finally.came to our office
and got late Shreveport Times
and learned that Shreveport
quoted only 1925. They we're
then satisfied to take the Winn-
field price.
q
We notethis instance only to
show that rumors and reports
about prices are not reliable, and
if true it must be remembered
that almost every day brings a
change in the market. The mer-
chants at Winfield are endeav-
oring to pay all the market will
stand for cotton and, in order to
protect themselves as well as their
farmer friends, they keep well
posted on the market. They will
pay as much for the staple as
they can and having ample trans
portion facilities between Shreve-
port and New Orleans they can
handle it more adyantageously
than almost any other point In
this territory.
We are not an authority on
cotton, neither do we feel compel
tent to advise our farmer friends,
but it is our opinion that later in
the season cotton will bring con-
siderably more than it is bringing
now and where they can do SO
we would advise the farmers to
hold their cotton.

Chairman Cowherd, of the
| Democratic Congressional Com
mittee, in speaking of President
Roosevelt's letter of acceptance
said:
.spresident Roosevelt .letter of
acceptance is t''o long to be re-
viewed in an interview, nor have
| had an opportunity to go over
1t with sufficient care to attempt
that task. Like most of his
writings, it is virile and bold, and
likewise. as most of his writings.
it is full of inaccuracies. Few
men have the dramatic instinct to
a greater degree than President
Roosevelt. 1t is an excellent
quality in an author and very
dangerous one IN president. 1t
makes all of his writings readable
and keeps the country in contin-
ual alarm us to what he will do
next.
lit takes a bold man to speak
of the stiffness and uncertainty
of others who has himself as
shifty and uncertain a record as
Mr.. Roosevelt. The Free Trader
talking protection and the Trust
Buster grown gentle, has little
reason to talk of the stiffness
and uncertainty of others.
MIR. Roosevelt's letter of ac-
ceptance is full of assumptions
that lack facts to back them.
When he says, for instance, DO
they (the Democrats) object to
the way in which the Monroe
Doctrine has been strengthened
and upheld?' he assumes the very
thing which never occurred.
The Monroe Doctrine, as every
one knows, has been weakened by
Mr.. RooseveIt's attempted def
milton and limitation of it.
When he says that never before
has this Doctrine been acquieseed
in abroad as 1T is now he should
qualify it BY saying that it is HIS
Monroe Doctrine that is acqul-
esced in abroad because it was in
conformity with foreign inter-
ests.
''He has the temerity also to
ask whether we objected to his
action on the petition of the
American citizens against the
Kishinef massacre. In the light
of Mr.. Rooseyelt's complete
back-down on his proposed for
warding of that petition to the
Gar, this statement is amusing.
"Mr. Roosevelt also says that
the democrats assert their be-
lief in reciprocity, but their ac-
ton on the Cuban Treaty does
not carry out this assertion.
This is plain attempt to mis-
state the facts of history. Mr..
Roosevelt knows that his Cuban
policy never could have been put
into execution. except by the
unanimous aid of the democratic
party. He knows that it was
fought. and bitterly fought, by a
large and influential portion of
the Republican party. both in the
House and Senate. 1t is true the
democrats desired to take off the
projections to the Sugar Trusts;
it is also true they opposed the
clause in the Cuban treaty which
practically prohibited reciprocity
towards any other country. But
though they could not get their
ideas into the treaty, they accept
ed it as the best they could do
and stood by the policy of reci-
