TAKE WARNlG AND ACT IN TIME.

The Ruston Leader says: "a
number of voters throughout the
state came to grief in the late state
election by their failure to pay
their poll tax in time. Several
persons to our knowledge were de-
barred from becoming candidates on
account of this disqualification and
it is reported that Governor Blan-
chard is hesitating to bestow a
valuable political appointment upon
friend, due to the fact that he
was delinquent in the payment of
his poll tax which under the law
disqualifies him to hold Office in
this state. The law requires that a
person must be duly qualified
voter of the state to hold CON-
mission"
We know of many in this parish
who were debarred from voting be-
cause they had not paid their poll
tax in time.
To these and to all voters we say,
take a warning and act in time |;
get ready to pay, and pay your poll
tax for this current year on, or be-
fore December 31st.-Thiboddur

MUZZLINO THE PRESS.

Editorial in the st Helena, La. Echo J
The New Orleans Picayune has
stood for nearly three quarters of a
century stalwart defender OF the
people, rights, and especially for an
honest and decent administration Ct
public affairs in that great city.
When the recent Mount Pelee burst
forth in the Police Board of that city,
causing a great stencil to go up ipso-
much that the man in the moon nearly
had to hold his nose as he passed over
il, the Picayune, exercising the right
of free speech, guaranteed by the Con-
stitution, published certain proceedings
of this Board, together with certain
statements and disclosures made by one
of the members of said Board, and
made some comment thereon that was
probably not complimentary to the
Board as whole. The result is that
three suits for alleged Islander and de-
famation of character amounting in
the aggregate to $50, 900 have been
filed in the Civil District Court
against the Picayune by members of
the aforesaid Police Board.
Mark our words for it, there will a
quick and speedy vindiction of the
Picayune. provided that the complain
ments should ever call up their cases
for hearing, which is extremely doubt
full, and the filing of them will be
about all the public will ever hear Of
them. But should they be called for
trial they will certainly meet the
same fate rs did the recent cases
against Editor Daniels, of the Raleigh,
IN. 9. News, and of Editor Jakey,
Of the Ann Arbor Mich. Times, the
courts holding that the evidence. 1t
will be sad day for Louisiana, in
deed, when the press has been so muz-
zled by the courts and juries that it
will not be permitted to proclaim from
the watchtowers official corruption or
the dereliction of public officials.
But we have not descended to such
depths yet, nor do we expect to, within
the near future

HOW A MAIL THIEF WAS DIS
COVERED.

Yes, there are some pretty nice
pickings in the mail service if the
clerks are to take chances, said one
OF the postal inspectors yesterday.
:" the case of just one fellow on whom
we landed recently. In one year we
traced $475 of missing money to him,
and there is no telling how much he
got away with that couldn't be ac.
counted for. OF the $475, he swiped
as high rs $50 in cash from one letter.
and as low as 60 cents. And these
were not registered letters, which
shows the foolishness of sending money
through the mails without taking pro-
per precautions. In one instance a
travelling man sent his wife "a in q
letter. 1t never reached her and her
kick brought $3 more. That was
swiped, too, and the circumstances of
two thiefts In one family, one follow
ing the other SO closely. was largely
instrumental in casting suspicion on
the culprit. =" Philadelphia Record.

THE LABOR QUESTION IN
POLITICS..

Ii is said that an effort will be
made TO have the Democratic party III
its national convention next month
declare in it's platform for all eight
hour labor law. We are confident,
however. that there is enough wisdom
among the party leaders to advise
against and prevent such mistake.
The question of the hour of labor is
NOT and cannot be made national pol
teal issue. but on the contrary it is
matter which should be left to the
several States TO deal with III their
own WAY if they see fit to legislate on
il at all. Such plank in the Dem
ocratic platform there is much reason
to think would defeat the patty III adj
vance of the election by arraying the
coun!ry's industries against it. aud 1t
was probably suggested by some shall
low headed politicians who imagined
il would be a strong appeal to the la
Dor vote. without pausing to consider
the injury it might do hundreds OF
new industries shat hayt been started
in the South which when they lave
attained full development will greatly
increase the wealth of this section.
Aside from the fact that every
American citizen should be allowed to
enjoy the right he now has of work
| ing as many hours as he pleases, or
not work at all if he can get along
without. the Democratic with the So
called labor vote to convince it that
as factor in our elections that vote
| is so uncertain and unreliable that it
is foolish to depend upon it. Our es-
teemed contemporary, the Norfolk
Virginian- Pilot states truth when
it remarks that the bulk of the labor
vote is Republican in States where it
counts for ANYTHING and will remain
so, because it is complete victim to
the delusion that protection brings
high wages and it will require long
period of high prices, which it is now
paying for the necessaries of life, hard
times and low wages to convince it of
its error. All of us no doubt remem-
Der that in the campaign of 1896
Bryan was herelded as the particular
champion of the working class and at
that time, we are sorry to say, he held
a much higher place in the confidence
and esteem of the country than he
does now, but he did not get the labor
vote. which would have elected him,
in any of the great manufacturing
States. A review of that memorable
and exciting campaign shows that
workmen by the thousands attended
his meetings and cheered his oratory
but on election day they went to the
polls and voted for Mckinley hence
the best course for the Democratic
convention at St. Louis TO pursue is to
confine itself to the or at issues now
confronting the country and leave the
labor question to be settled outside the
arena of national politics whexe there
is no danger of it being used as the foot
ball of politicians seeking party advan-
tage. N Q. States.
