A similarity of names led The Chief
into the commission of an error which
we hastsn to correct in justice to all
concerned. It was stated in these
columns last week that the Henry Nc
Call. Jr., whom Gov. Blanch ard has
appointed a member of the Lake
Borgne levee board is a son OF Hon.
Henry Mccall, of Ascension, collector
of customs at New Orleans, whereas in
point OF fact the appointee is a wholly
different person, being a son of the
Henry Mccall who has been manager
of Judge Rost's Destrehan plantation,
IN St. Charles parish, for years. De-
spite the identity Of their names there
Is no relationship between the Aseen-
sion and ST. Charles MeCalls.
Henry G. Mccall, second son of
Collector Henry Mccall, is a practic-
ing lawyer in New Orleans-"a gifted
young attorney with promising fu-
ture,n as was said in another para
graph Id the same issue of The Chief
that contained the erroneus announce
ment of his appointment as levee
commissioner. There are three potent
reasons why it is Improbable that such
an appointment would be rendered him
OR that he would accept it if rendered:
|. He is not a resident of the Lake
Borgne district: 2. He is the son OF
his father; 3. He is also a.good re
publican on his own account. Repub-
iican President Roosevelt sometimes
displays political magnanimity by APP
pointing good democrats to high Of

A Timely Rebuke.

The following admirable and timely
article appeared in a recent issue OF
the New Orleans Daily Item under the
caption of ssViolent and Vulgar
| Criticism
1t would be wise for the southern
people, especially the news paper
writer's and spellbinders, to refrain
from violent and offensive language
during the present campaign. There
is no division in this section nor oc-
casion for arguments and denuncia-
tons. We only injure ourselves and
do damage to the cause OF Judge
Parker by talking too much. For ex-
ample the Tribune, of Rome, Ca, is
unduly violent and very vulgar in
what it says about the Ward am an
postofice incident. It would toGodn
that Mr.. Roosevelt's mother had not
been a southern woman: it character
ICES the president as a negro lover and
political mountebank;;' it describes the
postrn aster general as the smntty Mr..
Payne;a and declares that sswhen the
south is battling for the purity and
sanctity of its womanhood that it may
ever be undeiled by contact with ne
groes, to have the gang headed by
Mr.. Payne come forward as the
champions of woman's purity is
enough to make the devil weep with
disgust and tremo2e for his suppem acy
as the arehhypocrite and acknowl-
edged champion liar OF the universe. -
1t says that the difference between
Judge Parker and Mr.. Roosevelt sis
the difference between the lion and the
jaekass," and adds:
Not the least reason why we should
like to see Roosevelt beaten for pres
ident is because most unfortunately he
has few drops of disgraced southern
blood in his veins, and he will be de-
feated. The signs OF the times all in
dlcate it. America will not willingly
stand for Roosevelt. Mark the pre-
diction!"
OF course al this kind OF talk is ut
terly valueless for party purposes.
1t would not convert even an idiot, |
and yet it goes out as an expression of
southern opinion as showing the con
tempt and hatred of this section for
all who do not agree with US. Com
menting on this article, the Savannah
News very Justly rebokes the Rome
paper:
1--WE protest that the article which |
appeared in Gov. Vardaman's news
paper to which the postmaster general |
has objected and the observ ations
made by the Rome newspaper upon
ohe subject ought not TO be credited 10
southern blood. Such work Weulld be
startling even Ia the mining camps of
the west or with the undercrust in
northern and New England communi-
ties. Surely no decent person in this
part of the country has any cause to
be proud of Gov. Vardaman's south
srn blood. 80

New indications of democratic har-

day. It was announced that ext resi-
dent Cleveland and Col. VIM. j..
Bryan would take the stump for Parker

effective quietus upon the story. Re

Two i0mmendable Acts.

The New Orleans Daily Item cites
two recent acts and utterances Of Pres
ident Roosevelt as deserving common
dation, and the admission is note
worthy because it comes from paper
the5 is giving jealous support to the
democratic party, not alone 10 ma
tional affairs, but in state and city as
well. The two things which command
the Items endorsement and approba-
tion are the president > refusal to COM
mute the death sentence of negro
convicted of criminal assault in the
city of Washington, and the writing
of q, letter to the United States at
torney general in which that officer is
requested to instruct the federal dis
trict attorneys and marshals in Ala
bama that they are TO retain and APP
point their subordinates, whose duties
are purely non-partisan and non-polit-
ical, on the grounds of fitness only,
and without regard to other consider
atoms"
President Roosevelt's admirable de-
cision in the Washington case was
printed in full iii last weeks Chief,
and needs only to be read to elicit
from all fair-minded critics the same
measure Of approval and applause
that the Item accords.
The letter concerning the status and
tenure of employees of the federal
judicial service was prompted by s'ru-
'Rors OF efforts to have district at
torneys and marshals in Alabama
change deputies undeq, them for polit-
ical reasons, and the views of the
chief executive on this subject are
stated in his usual terse and candid
manner, as follows:
'sOf all the officers Of the govern
ment those of the department Of justice
should be kept free from any suspicion
of improper action on partisa an or fac
tional grounds. I am par
ticularly anxious that the federal
court in a state like Alabama should
win the regard and respect of the peo-
pie by an exhibition of serupulous
non-partis anship, so that there shall be
a growth, even though a slow growth,
of the knowledge that the federal courts
and the representatives of the federal
department Of justice insist on melting
out even-handed justice to all. No
politician has right to dictate ID any
manner ia any of these officials -

Cren Comment.

The weather continues fine in this
section and conditions are ideal for
the growth and development OF all
kinds of crops. The high tempera-
lures and dry weather which prevail
at present are just what are needed to
counteract the bad effect of the con-
tlnuous rains of few weeks ago, and
during the past fortnight marked
Improvement has occurred in the con-
dition of the crops grown in this
vicinity.
Although there is no doubt that
cotton was seriously injured as o
result of the shedding caused by the
recent rains, the fair weather of the
past few weeks has done much to aid
the plant in recovering its former
vitality and development, and if con-
ditions remain favorable from now On
the prospects are that fairly salts
factory crop will be produced in this
parish. Picking has already COM
menced in number of localities and
will be general within the next few
weeks.
Picard and Geismar's Rescue gin at
Gonzales, in the seventh ward, handled
it's first bale of cotton for the current
season on Thursday Of last week, and
Gonzales Bros. Lena B. gin, also at
Gonzales, followed suit the next day.
The cotton in the first instance was
grown by Mrs. Henry Nabor, and
that ginned at Lena B. was raised by
Christophe Diez. Last Saturday a
bale was ginned at Rescue that tipped
the scales at 8s5 pounds, and three
others were turned out that weighed
700, $40 and $50 pounds, respectively.
The warm, dry weather is doing a
world Of good to rice, and the work
OF harvesting the crop is being pros
eeuted with vigor and dispatch. The
yield is reported to be very salts
factory.
The Danaldsonville rice mill began
work TOR the current season at 6
o'clock Monday morning with a large
supply of rough rice on hand. The
steamer Lone Star arrived here last
Saturday with LAO sacks of rice from
the plantations of Messrs. LeBoeuf
and Billion, in Iberville parish, and
departed on another trip as soon as
her initial cargo was discharged. The
mill has been thoroughly oyerhauled
and placed in first-class condition to
handle the large crop which it is ex-
peeted will be produced in this section.
W. J. Harrison succeeds Fleet Cole
man as manager, and Ed. Wilson has
charge of the books. Both these
gentlemen are experienced rice men,
and it may be taken for granted that
the mill will have a prosperous and
successful season under their manage
ment. Charles Wells and Leo Ian
dry will again be on hand as miller
and engineer, respectively.
There is nothing doing in the cane
fields just now, and the planters are
simply sitting by and watching the
crop grow.
