POPE GRlEVED.

Rome, April 1.-THE news of
the attempt on the life of King
Alfonso by the explosion of bomb
as he was leaving the exhibition at
Barcelona produced the deepest
impression here, especially among
the members of the Spanish colony
of Rome, which is quite numerous.
King Victor Emmanuel learned
the news while presiding at his
weekly conference with the cabinet
ministers and he Immediately per-
sonally telegraphed to the Spanish
King his warmest congratulations
on his escape.
The papal secretary of state, Car
dinal Merry del Va when in
formed of the attempt, fastened
with the news to the Pope, who
exclaimed;
"Poor misguided soul. There is
no excuse for their crime.
The Pope then instructed the
papal secretary to telegraph the
pontiff's congratulations to King
Alfonso on his escape.

Franklin, La, April Ga pecu
liar accident occurred yesterday by
which the local negro church lost
one of its best choir singers, and
out of which a damage suit is likely
to arise. One of the most prominent
young planters of the parish was
out practicing with new high
power army rifle some three miles
from the negro church where a
funeral was in progress, and the
steel jacketed bullet passed through
the target, and at the distance
of three miles, went through the
wall of the church while Aunt
Hester Ramos, the soprano of the
choir, was singing; passed through
her cheek and jaw, and passing out
Of open mouth, struck one of the
sisters of the congregation, but
being nearly spent, did no further
harm. A stampede resulted, as no
one could..imsgine where the bullet
came from. A surgeon patched up
Aunt Heaters's jaw, but her voice
is lost, and the planter has damage
suit in plain view.

INSTRUCTED SOLICITUDE.

Under the above caption the
Lake Charles American points out
some sane reasons why the rice
farmer need not fear the proposed
new marketing company. The
American says:
"Abnut the funniest CHASE of
the discussion regarding the new
plan of marketing rice economically
is the sudden sOlicitude of the New
Orleans inillers and brokers lest
the interests Of the producers
should suffer Gates, they say, Is
after the control of The ice crop Of
the United States aud the pro-
ducers will soon feel the pressure
of the ~rls.ys wien he gets 10 work =.
With al! the mills in the combine,
the bruk - say, the pee raiser will
be obliged 10 take what Is offered.
From past experience with lhe
New Orleans patriots, the rice farm
ers know that If there was squeezing
to be done, the Crescent City men
would be clam"ring at the gates to
get in Rice producers memories
are not 50 short that they cannot
reach back to the time when New
Orleans people forced the building
of rice mills in the country, and
the New Orleans rice men should
know by the same experience that
the producer has the happy faculty
of taking care of himself if he is
put to it.
1.-THE connection of the mills
with the new company is, of itself,
guarantee of protection to the
rice raiser. Unless profitable
prices are paid the producer for
rough rice, the latter has the choice
of a dozen other crops to raise,
while the rice mills machinery
resolves itself into rust. 1t is most
emphatically to the interest Of the
miller and canal man to make rice
growing profitable, in order to
keep the millions of dollars they
have invested in machinery from
becoming a dead investment.
"The proposed rice concern aims
to do exactly what all students of
rice market conditions agree must
be done-to procure the sale of
rice to the consumer at price
that will make it staple article
of food without reducing the price
paid the producer. Everyone
agrees that there is margin enough
to accomplish it. Everyone agrees
also that nothing along that line
can be done without strong fnan-
cial backing. 1t would be ridicu-
lous if the rice interests should
spurn the hand which offers them
the financial support they are
obliged to have, because they fear
that Mr.. Gates is such moral pre-
vert that he would rather reap ILL
gitimate and perfectly obvious
profit, and that in such event, with
the entire contro! of the company
in their own hands, they would be
able to protect themselves from
his rapacity, Crowley Signal.

Governor Heard has usually
been fortunate in his appointments,
but none of those he has made met
with greater appreciation than his
reappointment of Francis T. Mich

The state owes debts to Judge Mich
oils that it can never repay, and tie
least it can do is to keep him in .

SENATOR FOSTER ALSO FAVORS
JUDGE PARKER.

United States Senator Murphy j.
Foster reached the city yesterday
morning from Washington and
spent the day with political and
personal friends here, leaving in
the afternoon at 3 o'clock for his
home in St. Mary Parish. He will
return here on Monday and will
arrange to make some speeches in
the State campaign now on Just
where the Senator will speak has
not been decided. He will remain
in the State until after the election,
April 10.
While here yesterday Senator
Foster held a conference with
Judge Blanchard, in the Governors
suite, and they were joined by
other prominent leaders
From a national standpoint,
Senator Foster has some interesting
things to say. lie favors Judge
Alton B. Parker, Of New York,
for Democratic candidate for Presi-
dent, and says the sentiment of the
South is rapidly crystallizing
around him. A conservative man
is wanted, and Judge Parker fills
the bill.
1.-The Democracy Of the South, !"
said he, "will for the first time in
years take an aggressive part in the
National Convention to be held in st.
Louis. Its policy will lean not only
to the selection of wise, conserva-
tive, able candidate, but the crea-
ton of conservative and con-
structlve platform, which will meet
the business needs of the country
aud at the same time carry ont the
Democratic idea Of reform in tariff
legislation. The sentiment of Dem
orrats, and especially those of the
South, is rapidly crystallizing in
favor ofJudge Parkeras the Party's
standard bearer.
"Judge Parker s candidacy would
be in direct line with the expressed
determination of the Southern
Democrats to force constructive
policy in the next national cam
paign, instead of a destructive one.
Such a policy is deemed necessary
in opposition to the methods pur-
sued by the prospective candidate
of the Republicans, Mr.. Roose-
velt.'
Referring to the general opinion
in Washington of the candidacy of
William r. Hearst, Senator Foster
said the best thought of the ma
tional Democracy was not to appear
in the attitude of fighting any
man, but to support a man whose
character, standing and Democracy
would appeal to the conservative
voters of the country.
owe want a man." he added,
"whose life and character and
known policies challenge the con-
fidence of both labor and capital.
By virtue of its strong position,
the South will be able to take
conspicuous part in bringing about
these conditions in the National
Convention. 1t cannot be too
clearly understood we must have
both a conservative man and a con-
platform, with which the
national Democracy will go before
the people and make. its fight
against the Republicans
This declaration Of Senator Fos-
ter for Judge Parker for President
is especially interesting just at this
time, because the home talent has
been declaring for Parker during
the past week. Judge Blanchard,
the next Governor and National
Committeeman, and Hon. E. B.
kruttschnitt, Chairman of the
State Committee, have both pub
licly declared for the New Yorker
as the best man to lead the Party.
