The Governors Staff.

This morning, July %, Cover
nor Blanchard authorized the an
nouncement of the personal of his
military staff. THIS has been
awaited with much interest, and
though several of the newly com
missioned colonies, majors and
generals are known, having dis
played their commissions, there
are nevertheless a number of new
names, in which the public is in
terested, says the Baton Rouge
Times.
General Stafford has prepared a
general order, No. 20, which con,
ta,ns the names of the entire staff,
from the adjutant general down to
the newest major, with the date of
their commission. This will be
sent out Monday. The members
of the staff are as follows:
D. T. Stafford, Rapides, adJu-
tant general, major general.
John McGrath, Baton Rouge,
commissary general, brigadier gen
eral.

For District ATTORNEY.
Total for Dist 1919 81

In this contest Mr.. BrOussard
led the voting, receiving the
handsome vote of 1919 votes in
the entire district. AS he is 80
votes short of a majority over the
combine votes of the other two
candidates, he will have, in all
probability, to go into the second
primary with Capt. Muller as his
Opponant. Barring the develop,
ment Of new voters in the second
contest, and holding all those who
voted for him in the first election,
he will have to acquire but 80
votes of those that were cast for
Mr.. Daspit to be a winner-ap
parently, an easy proposition.
Capt Muller, however, is a tireless
worker and we dare predict that
he will be in the field hot only
to maintain his own-but to &C.
qulre as many of the Broussard
and Daspit votes as he can muster
to his support. Truly an interest.

THE CHRISTIAN SPIRIT

Somebody has just expressed in a
neat volume containing two hundred
and fifty or more pages his or her Eve
fancy it's a LADY, opinion of the kaiser.
Naturally It's fattering. One knows,
after reading the announcement of the
publishers, that the writer lives in the
German realm. In the fatherland, you
either write in praise of the kaiser or
you don't write. But not on a single
page does this particular writer lay
herself open to the charge of lese
majestic. On the contrary, all the pleas
ant things w. Hohenzollern has neg
lected to say about himself (and natu-
rally there were not many Of these)
his literary friend has said and has
padded out the book with adjectives.
1t is probable that there will be those
who will say disrespectful things of the
new book. The awful accusation may
be brought against it that it is not in
good taste. We are not Of this number,
however. So many are willing to praise
Caesar only when they bury him
and when he can do them no good.
How much better to exhaust ones sup
ply Of complimentary adjectives on the
living man and receive the reward for
ones good intentions in this life.
Moreover, it's the Christian spirit, or,
if not the Christian spirit, it's the spirit
that the poets from time immemorial
have endeavored to instill. For, as they
have frequently intimated, what does
it profit man to have flowers heaped
on his bier and fattering remarks
made at his grave if all his life long he
has pursued the even tenor of his way
uncontrolled by word of praise?
Mr.. Roosevelt and the kaiser have
set a new fashion in this respect which
deserves to be followed, we think. Why
shouldn't every one have his literary
Aehates? And how convenient 1t would
be if on entering new town one would
simply have to pass about book, "Mr.
Blank as 1 Knew Him." on which one
could rely for disseminating f1atter-
ing impression of one? Of course the
president and the emperor of Germany
have the advantage over the ordinary
individual in being able to reward the
literary talent that expends itself in
praise of them. But everybody writes
nowadays and it shouldn't be difficult
to find somebody willing to take his pen
in hand to praise ones SELF Moreover,
the reciprocity plan might be tried,
something on the I'll write something
about you if you'll write something
about me" order. At least it wouldn't
be bad idea to try it.

TIE PoLlcEMAN,s LOT

Gilbert's tuneful protest that 1.-THE
policeman's lot Is not a happy one"
was based upon knowledge gained by
study of the London bobby. Had it been
given to the librettist to look upon the
lordly creature who, in respondent
uniform and graceful pose, decorates
the thoroughfares of American cities
he would have hesitated to indulge In
commiseration with a lot 80 happily
cast For the enterprising burglar is
not always burgling-and when he is
he does not affect the policeman as we
know him. For the type Of the Ameri
can copper is that one who stands
upon the crossing and guides the hap
less female creature through the mazes
of traffic. or with suave manner and an
engaging impressiveness directs the
inquiring stranger to his destination.
The policeman's lot is not unhappy.
in the presence of the sergeant. He is
accounted lucky by those of his asso-
ciates in private life who do not wear
the blue. He is arrayed in such fash
ion as to gladden. the eye and illumine
the landscape. He is well paid, suffi-
GENTLY well groomed, envied of the
mob and as a life insurance risk he is
second only to the army officer. More-
over, his morals are looked after and
his manners-wen they are not neg
lected.
1t is but day or two since the chief
of the st. Paul police issued rules for
the guidance of those members Of the
force who had not quite formed their
ideas of the etiquette of the street.
"Be courteous and talk In soft, pleas
ing tones" says the chief We would
not insinuate anything against the
originality Of the chief, but it seems to
us that another distinguished official
said something in the same line about
talking softly and carrying big stick.
The chief promulgates several other
rules, most of them bearing on the
personal conduct of the copper in deal
ing with the fair sex. The policeman's
lot is not unhappy when he is pro-
vided with all creature comforts and
given set of rules wherewith to
,,oea sl,ra his conduct
If the lot OF the policeman is made
any happier the consequences will be

WHAT THEY DIDN'T DO

It was probably too much to expect
that the State Insurance Commission
ers who met in their thirty-fifth an
nual convention at Indianapolis re-
Gently should urge the abolition Of the
entire system of State supervision and
the turning of the whole business.ove
to the National government. This Is
the most important of all suggestions
that have been made in connection
with governmental oversight Of in
surance and would result in big saw
ing to policy holders. But the political
gentlemen who hold the enviable
berths of State Insurance Superin-
tendents will hardly ever take that
subject up for discussion, and rflt Is
ultimately brought about it will not De
from any prayerful recommendation OF
theirs. But some good ringing words
might have been looked for in favor or
the idea Of letting one State be salts

INSECTS MUST BE KEPT OUT

The power Of the public to pass laws
and ordinances and impose and admin
lister punishments stands helpless be-
fore certain species of misdemeanors
that are characteristic of low form Of
animal life rather than of humanity.
For instance, we do not know what
dals who have compelled the capitol
commission to close the doors of the
new building to visitors by scribbling
with indelible pencils here and there,
breaking glass and generally disig
uring the edifice to the extent Of their
puny ability.
The disposition to this sort Of thing
is to US completely unintelligible. To
call it vandalism is to insult the
fierce strength of those old barbarians.
They did not disflgure, but smashed
things. We could a great deal better.
understand some one who should bring
a field piece into play and out of mere
wantonness batter down the new capt.
toll with missiles into a heap of crum-
bling ruins than this crawling of YER
min about it's walls, leaving their
Shiny stain behind them. For vermin
is what these fellows are, and against
vermin society finds protection more
difficult than against strong men or
beasts of prey.
The offense here noted is one Curl
ously common In American life. You
cannot leave any park or public place
unmatched without having its beau
ties defaced In just this fashion. 1t is
the persistence into adult life of
mania of childhood. The insane de-
sire to cut or write ones name in pub
lie places, to chip off fragments of USE
less wood or stone as mementos, or to
injure willfully something stately or
beautiful belongs to a world that
passes human comprehension. These
annoying creatures are like the mos
quito. 1t being impossible to exter-
inmate and apparently useless to at
tack them, nothing remains but to
put up a netting and keep them out.

THE IOWA IDEA

In this strenuous woman's age it is
idea as it is exemplified in the action
of one John Scott, of Sioux City. Mr..
SCOTS young affections were trified
with by gay and pretty widow. From
admiration openly expressed after the
first meeting, Mr.. Scott was led on to a
proposal and the pretty widow coyly
named the day. But somewhere Hafiz
hath written:
IF she grow suddenly gracious re-
Is it all for thee?
The black buck is stalked through the
bullock,
And man through jealousy"
Mr.. Scott did not reflect and he did
not learn, therefore, until after his af-
-fections had become involved that
there was and always had been an
other man in the case. The pretty
widow married the other man.
But if he lacked penetration in his
courtship, Mr.. Scott showed enterprise
In the method he adopted to obtain
satisfaction and revenge. The man the
widow had married was possessed of a
goodly fortune Mr.. Scott consulted a
lawyer and papers in breach of prom
Use suit were served on the tickle lady.
The victim of widows coquetry has
declared that only six thousand dol
lars will make his lacerated affections
as good as new And he hints darkly
at the possession of certain letters.
For untold centuries man has been
the trifer, woman the victim. But it
is not remarkable that in these days
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1904-10-02

the antics Of Mr.. Harry Lehr and his
dog dinners and birthday parties
should remember. even while they en-
joy their laugh, that dogs go wrong as
frequently as human beings The pub
lie has no right to Judge the noble race
of dogs by the conduct Of few pam
pered poodles who court the contempt
Of their kind by participating In smart
set orgies that would revolt the soul of
any decent dog. If these dogs reeog-
nize no "noblesse oblige," it should not
be gathered from their indifference to
the obligations which nobility imposes
that all dogs share this indifference.
The public has every reason to believe,
indeed, that the contrarygis true.
Nevertheless. 1t must be admitted
that considerable prejudice has been
aroused against the dog because of his
close association with the members of
New York's smart set. The old prov
erb, Show me your company and I'll
tell you what you are" has been quoted
against all dogs by few thoughtless
people simply because a matter of a
few hundred dogs have permitted their
names to be connected with the doings
of a vapids set. Few pause to reflect
that there are thousands and thou
sands of self-respecting CANNES who
would no more think of associating on
terms of equality with Harry Lehr's
set" than they would think Of attack
ing their master.
This is just word for the dog. We
all have our detractors, and it is one of
the regrettable defects of modern civ
ilizatfon that it has not been able to
prevent the majority from being judged
by the eccentricities and the absurdi-
ties of the few. The modern dogs bette
noir is the smart set. This clique has
succeeded in making certain dogs RI
diculous and despised. But an honest
public should see to 1t that the aver

suffer because of the sets efforts

A DESERVED TRIBUTE

The tribute paid to President North
recent anniversary of his birth, his
marriage and his assumption of his
present position, enthusiastic and
memorable though it was. was but
feebly expressive of the esteem in
which he is held by the community.
He has now been identified vita It's
chief educational interests for two
decades; period long indeed when
measured by the age of the state itself.
Under him the university has grown.
and fiourished. beyond all precedent.
He brought to 1t ripe scholarship and
the executive gift. He brought to it
what is of even greater worth in such
a post; the comprehending and SYM
pathetic spirit and the cathohcity Of
Judgment that are infinitely powerful
when they touch the lives of the young.
No book that boy or girl ever reads, no
course of study however thoroughly
mastered. has the permanent shaping
and guiding influence that is exerted
by personal contact
The personality of the head of uni
versity counts for more than text
books or endowments; and there are
thousands of men and women engaged
today in the work of the world who
would gladly testify to the part played
in their development, their choice of
standards and their fidelity to this
election by the relations established
between themselves and DIR. Northrop
in the days Of their university life. He
has, built up one Of the great educa-
tional institutions of the country and
become forceful figure in the COM
monwealth. He has gathered from
years of useful work an army of adj
miring and devoted friends. This is
life's best reward, and he has earned
it. May another ten years find him hale
and happy at his post, with still
larger tribute of honor and affection, If
that be possible, rendered as his due.
