ernor Blanchard sounded this
keynote in his inaugural address,,
it met with enthusiastic endorse
ment from every corner of the
State. Now in some quarters
develops an insidiOus spirit of
antagonism, which, while it is
not dangerous, may cause many
who want to favor progress in
educational matters. to vote
against this bond issue, through
a misguided sense of interest in
the public welfare.
If, by chance, this bond issue
was defeated, it would hurt this
State more than all the evils
threatened by the opponents of
the measure. The suggestion
for this issue has been printed
far and wide. 1t has been hailed
as an enlightened step for educa-
ton by the press and the public
men all over the country. 1t has
been commented on as the first
step taken by a "benighted''
people towards the dawn of a
new era. Now suppose the
people of this state, or a majority
of them should vote against the
proposition, and the news went
abroad that Louisiana was too
parsimOniOus to pay the paltry
$4,000 a year interest on a mil
lion dollar bond issue for school
hOuseS-what effect would that
have upon the fair name of
abroad: Would deSir-
able immigrants want to come to
a State that had administered
Sucn a OlOW TO the puDllc SchOOl:
Would northern capital want to
seek investment in IL State where
public education had received
such a set back: The desirable
wants to go to a community
where he can educate his child
rem, and capital seeks investment
where the people are enlight-
ened, and where thrift and en-
terprise aid it in the develop
ment of the resources. Do
nothing, citizens Of Louisiana,
which will in any way endanger
this great movement.

The Campaign Issue.

New Orleans States.
1t is true that the platforms of
the two great political parties
have defined the issues, but it is
not yet apparent what questions
the people will take the most in
terest in, and to which they at
tach the most Importance. The
New York Journal of Commerce
publishes a thoughtful article
from its Washington correspon-
dent who after looking over the
political field reaches the con-
clusion that the strong card of
the Democrats will be the tariff
and of the Republicans the
currency. He thinks the Demo-
Gratis will have a great advantage
on the tariff, and the Republicans
an equal advantage on the e.
nancial question because of the
failure of the Democratic con-
venti0n to accept the gold stand
ard as clearly. as Judge Parker
The Lafayette advertiser. [volume] (Vermilionville [i.e. Lafayette], La.) 1865-19??, 1904-08-24
The Bond Issue.

Shreveport Times.
The educational bond issue is
being discussed generally by the
papers of the State at the pres
ent time. and it is to be regretted
that here and there appears a note
of opposition. There is an insi-
diOus attempt to stir up opposi-
ton among the people on the
ground that it is a "villai-
nous scheme" that it is dan
gerous," that it will add to the
burdens of the bonded debt"
and that it will tax p~osterity for
benefits which we will derive"
That is the sum and substance
of the arguments that are made
against it. In making these ar
guments, the opponents of the
measure overlook the great prin-
ciple involved, which alone, is suf-
ficient to knock the undermining
from their opposition. Louisiana
needs this bond issue right now
worse than anything else. If
there has been one great duty of
the government which has failed
to yield satisfactory results. it
has been in the matter of educa-
ton. Whether rightly or
wrongly, Louisiana today stands
before the world as the most
illiterate state in the union, in
comparative figures. She has
that reputation, and she must
earn the right to Say to the world
that that is wrong. She must
do everything that she can to
advance her educational inter-
ests, and a move once made in
that direction, should, under no
circumstances, be given a check.
The watchwords OF the present
administration are education
and progress" and Vhen Gov
The Lafayette advertiser. [volume] (Vermilionville [i.e. Lafayette], La.) 1865-19??, 1904-08-24

has done. This, of course, is
nothing more than the opinion of
one intelligent man, which, how
ever, is not in accord with the
Judgment of other men equally
as intelligent.
The New York Herald, which
voices the opinion of a large
body of thoughtful voters, thinks
the question that will receive the
most attention in the campaign
will be that of law against mere
personal activity such as Presi-
dent Roosevelt has displayed
during the three years he has
been in the exec utive Office. In
other words that the Democrats
will stand for the Constitution,
while the Republicans will be
compelled to glorify the individ-
uality of Roosevelt and all his
lawleSS acts. In commenting on
these two views regarding the
main issue of the campaign, the
Brooklyn Citizen says:
Just at present we cannot
tell whether the Herald or the
Journal of Commerce man
is the better Judge of the
situation, but we incline to
the belief that the Herald is.
We think this because it is
reasonably clear that only very
timid people can imagine any
danger to the gold standard
after what Judge Parker has
said, and it may similarly be
said that the tariff can hardly be
a burning issue when one party
is pledged not to change it and
the other says that if changed at
all it must be handled in the
most conservative spirit possible.
Why should any citizen become
worked up over a money stand
ard that is unassailed or a tariff
that cannot be modified for
several years without the con-
sent of both parties? The ques-
ton Of law against personal
activity is a very different mat
ter. The Republic would not
be safe if the American people
became Indifferent to the main
tenance of the Constitution, and
1t is at least admissible for the
Democrats to charge, as many
Republicans have done, that
President Roosevelt is impatient
of all legal restraints"

The American public rejoices
with little Japan every time she
knocks the Russian bear; but it
is about time to sympathize a
few" with Gar Nicholas. From
all accounts he is a pretty clever
fellow, and it certainly is hard
on him, when the Mikado's little
men are figuratively wiping UP
Manchuria with his Cossacks,
that just as he is jollifying a
little over the appearance of a
son and heir, some noisy, dis
agreeable and very obnoxious
subjects of his should charge
that his heir is another girl and
that he is trying to play a con-
fdence game on the public by
substituting a peasant woman's
boy for the royal girl.

Politics is beginning to warm
up in the doubtful states and
from now on till November both
parties will do some redhot
campaigning. Prominent speak
ers, spellbinders and special
orators will be abroad in the
land and their honeyed words
and %glittering promises will
shower upon the voting public
like a Colorado clOudburst. We
down South won't be "in it,,
but in the North and West
where it is a toss up as to which
party gets the ballots, there will
be a scramble the like of which
was never seen before.

~BARBAROUS AND SAVAGE

The details of the burning of
two negroes at StateSbOrO, Ga,
Tuesday of last week, given in
column lengths in the daily
papers, are simply horrible, and
how it is possible for men in a
christian community to wreak
such a savage and barbarOus
vengeance even upon the most
depraved seems perfectly as
founding. That punishment
swift and sure should be melted
out to criminals is understood,
even to the taking of life if need
be-, but to torture a miserable
wretch even though he richly
merits it, is not cOnsonant with
civilization, and rightly is re-
ceiving strong condemnation
throughout the country.
Burning a human being is
brutality of the worst kind, for
which there is no excuse and no
justification. In certain cases
lynching may be cOndOned or
even approved; but in no case
can the awful crime of burning
at the stake awaken any senti-
ment but horror, and it is a sad
commentary upon our enlighten-
ment and civilization that such a
deed worthy only of savage
Indians, could occur in a COM
munity that lays claim to the
name of christian.

is ANNOUNCED OFFICIALLY.
Two Railroad Companies Will Com
bine Local Offices.

Official circulars have been issued
by the Northern Pacific and Burling-
ton companies announcing that the
much talked of consolidation of local
offices is to become effective August
L. After that date the freight busi-
ness of the two corporations will be
transacted from one Office and the
Burlin gton warehouse will be closed.
1t is understood that no~twithstand-
ing the change the Burlington tracks
and buildings in the northern part OF
the city will be permitted to remain.
The tracks will be used for storing
cars not needed for immediate use,
while the freight depot and Office
building will be retained against any
future emergency likely to arise.
Although not made a part of the
announcement, it is generally accept
ed that NJ. L. Hoyt, at present agent
for the Northern Pacific, will be named
as joint agent for the two companies.
What disposition is to be made Of the
local force of the Burlington has not
been given out. Some of the clerks,
however, will probably be transferred
to the Northern Pacific offices, as the
Increased business there will necessi.
tate a proportionate increase in the
number of employees. Those not thus
transferred will be taken r OF
elsewhere.
The consolidation in nowise affects
the Office of general agent of the Bur
lington. This will be continued the
same as heretofore, as it is separate
and distinct from the local agency.

FOR MuRDE RlEs.
Erickson Let of Easy by a eozenaan
Jury.

Jury.
A lenient jury saved the life of the
tramp, Erickson, who killed Michael
Ries, a Columbus man, on a Northern
Pacific freight train between Living
ston and Bozeman, a couple of months
ago. The trial of Erickson took place
at Bozeman. Last Saturday the case
was submitted and the jury returned a
verdict of murder in the second de-
r The only witness for the de-
tense was Erickson himself. He plead
ed s~elf-defense and accidental killing.
Erickson related the story OF the
ride he and the deceased and Leonard
Luther were stealing at the time OF
the murder. He said that Ries &C
cused him of attempting to rob him,
whereupon Luther attacked him with
a knife. Believing himself to be in
danger, Erickson said he fred his re-
volver once, when a scuffle ensued be
| tween himself and the other two men,
during which the weapon was exploded
accidentally, killing Ries. His testi-
mony was in direct contradiction OF
that of Luther.
Sentence is to be pronounced on
Erickson next Friday.

DEBT AND LIEN.
Paw Demanded from Cattle Company
for Ditch Work.

TOT 0lICH WOTNs
Suit was begun this morning in
the district court by l.. 7. Neace and
j. G. Neace against the Ryan Bros.
Cattle company on a claim for deb
and to foreclose a lien.
The plaintiffs allege that on or about
December l, 1902, they entered into an
agreement with defendant whereby
the plaintiffs were to construct an
irrigation ditch and headgate to tap
the Musselshell river and divert wa
tiers therefrom to irrigate a certain
tract of land belonging to plaintiffs
and defendant. The land covered by
the alleged agreement is described as
the southwest quarter OF section g.,
township 9 north, range 81 east. The
ditch, it is charged, was to be built
by both parties in common, each to
pay one-half of the cost of construc-
| ton and materials needed. After a
| part of the canal had been built, it
is dll6S6u, ~ was d51CCu II pun
tiffs were to pay fer all the labor and
materials and that defendant was to
repay them upon completion of the
ditch.
Pursuant to this changed agreement,
the complaint charges, the plaintiffs
finished the ditch and expended the
sum of $369.03 for labor and material,
between December l, 1902, and May
II, 1903. To secure themselves, plain
tiffs allege they caused a lien to be
filed upon the ditch, July %, 1908,
which is now on record.
The land covered by the ditch is
owned Jointly by plaintiffs and de-
pendants, each of whom owns an midi
vided one-half interest in it.
Judgment is demanded for the prin.
ctpal, 5000 Sc for filing and record
ing the hen, together with interest
on the pricipal from July %, 1903, and
costs Of action. The court Is further
asked to make an order for the sale
OF defendants interest in the ditch
and headgate.

DECIDES TO BUILD.
Rocky Mountain Bell Telephone Com.
pany Will Erect Block.

Rocky Mountain Bell Telephone Com.
pany Will Erect Block.
Before winter it is more than likely
that the Rocky Mountain Bell Tele-
phone company will conduct its bust
ness in a building of it's own, as it
has been definitely decided to erect
a block on the company's lot in North
Twenty-seventh street, north of The
Gazette.
Information to this effect was given
out a few days ago by President Wal
lace and General Manager Murray,
who were in the city the latter part
Of last week. The proposed building
is to be of brick, with cut and carved
stone front. The ground floor will
extend the full length of the lot, while
the second story will cover probably
no more than half of that length. The
exchange will be on the first floor,
with a storeroom in the rear. The off.
ces will be on the second floor.
The plans for the structure have
been prepared and are at present at
Missoula, but are expected by Mr.
Burford, local manager, to arrive
soon, when proposals will be invited
for erecting the building, the est
mated cost of which will be 100000
It is the intention to begin construc
ton as Don as possible and hopes art
entertained that the building will b.
ready for occupancy before snow flies
