Zach Mulhall, who shot an innocent
byStander at St. Louis while arguing a
point Of etiquette with business rival,
was surprised when the jury fixed his
punishment at three years in the peniten-
tiazy. He had promptly apologized to
the young man for his mistake, and nat
nrally thought that everything should
have been satisfactory after that. It is
no doubt rather amazing to Texan to
find the closed season on innocent by
ISLANDERS in other states lasting all the
year round Lake Charles American.

LABOR COMMISSIONER
Louis Malkus Appointed as Successor of
Senator Lee.

Commissioner Lee of New Orleans ha!
resigned and Mr.. Louis Malkus O.
Shreveport has been appointed by the
Governor to fill the vacancy. Hon, K
E. Lee was appointed commissioner o:
labor statistics on December p, 1904
bat as he is State senator he could not
hold two political positions at the sanlt
time, as it is contrary to the COnstltulon
Il is singular that Senator Lee was no
informed on this question when he wa
appointed AMI occupied the position.
1t appears that Thomas Harrington
the retiring commissioner, has drawn
the January salary, which Senator Lee
doubtless expected. 1t is alleged that
Harrington claims the salary Oh the plea
that Lee was ineligible.
The Caucasian is pleased to congratu-
late Mr.. Malkus ON his appointments
promised him, as we understood during
the campaign for the gubernatorial fight
when he rendered great services to the
Governor The delay in this recognition
was unavoidable, for the reason, doubt
less, that others were promised the same
Job. However, this recognition of a
worthy man and esteemed citizen is bet
ter late than never Perhaps if there
was no clause in the Constitution pro-
limiting dual holding, State Sen
ator r. E. Lee would not have released
his hold on the office of commissioner OF
labor and Our friend Malkus would have
been left out in the field of promises un-
fulfilled and pledges unredeemed.
MIR. Malkus is we'll qualified to fill the
nesitian creditahlv and satisfactorily.

DR.. ALDERMAN IN TROUBLE.

|
The man who continually makes
speeches IS bound sooner Or later to gel
into trouble, and so the expected has
finally happened to DR.. Edwin Alder,
man, president of the University of Vir,
ginia, until lately the idol of New Or
leans. In recent address to the South
ern Society of New York, DR.. Alderman
lamented the absence of trained men
from the South in public life and incau-
tiously inquired: Where are the Cal
houns and Clays of other days?'
This naturally nettled Senator Joe
Bailey of Texas, who wrote long and
severe letter to the president of the So
ciety, Thomas Nelson Page. Modesty
forbade Hon. Joe Bailey from giving a
direct answer to the question, but he
heatedly asked why DR.. Alderman did
not inquire also about the present day
Websters, Lincolns and Choates. He
pointed out the fact that while the quality
of Southern congressman may not be so
high as formerly, it compares favorably
with those of the representatives from
other sections and states that he has
scant respect for Southern educators
who dispraise their own neighbors.
There is little doubt of the truth of
Senator Bailey's assertion, and it is
equally true that of all the men in public
life fifty and sixty years ago were not
Websters, Calhouns, Clays nor Lincolns.
But as Mr. Page explained, DR.. Alder
man was speaking to Southern au-
dience-among home folks-and his crit
icism was not Of our public men, but Of
the people who sometimes make such
poor selections. Needless to say, how
ever, Mr. Bailey's feelings are still ruff
hed.-Lake Charles American.
DR.. Alderman is the gentlemen, who,
in much published communication, at
tempted rescue of the school bond
scheme. from his seat, as the president
of the University of Virginia. AS other
teachers trained in the school roo1n
Prof. Alderman is limited in the prac-
teal in politics and in the general affairs
of men. According to his conception,
the State Of Louisiana was bound to go
to shoel if the people failed to endorse
this rankest of all rank schemes, the
issue Of the proposed million Of bonds.
Doubtless the professor is all right when
dealing in abstractive. gIittcring general
tiles. but as recorded, the bond scheme
was overwhelmed in icieat by the pco-
pie and Louisiana j. not going t. perdl-
ton. In his illusions and comparisons
OF great men, IL is evident that DR.. Al
derman was as unfortunate and hlun
,dered as amazingly as when he fore
casted the dismal future Of the State if
the people failed to respond to the plead
ers for the million dollar bond scheme.

DiA SonA Build Che oyrnmids8

An indianapolis archaeOlogist NJ. Y.
Willard, who has recently been making
excavations in Egypt, especially in the
Vicinity Of the pyramids. has made
known some novel and startling views
as the result of his researches. Mr..
Willard claims to have discovered
where Noah lived, where he built the
ark, and also asserts that the builder
Of the first great vessel Of which his.
tory has preserved an account was also
the builder Of the great pyramid OF
Gizeh. AS to the ark, Mr.. Willard af-
firms that it would cost 100000 to
build such vessel today and therefore
regards Noah as the first millionaire OF
at least that he was in position to
force vast multitudes Of men to work
for him. AS to the pyramid Of GiZeh
the Indiana archaeologist is reported
as saying that Noah built this wonder
of the world in the earlier part of the
fourth Egyptian dynasty and not more
than 1900 years after the expulsion Of
Adam and Eve from paradise.

ALDERMAN INCIDENT
A Criticism of Senator Bailey of Texas
by the New York Sun.

In an Editorial under the caption The
Southern Senators" the New York Sun
says:
~Why should Senator Bailey of Texas
withdraw his name from committee to
solicit subscriptions for the University
of Virginia, because Dr. Alderman, tie
president, has said that there are no
trained men in public life from the South
at the present time? ..a.4
If Mr. Bailey is of senatorial size and
a distinguished son of the South, surely
Che committee needs the light of his
eountenance and the power of his elbow
the university certainly needs the
money. DR. Alderman may have shown
woeful want Of tact in criticising
Southern public men in the address he
made in New York the other day, but
Dir. Bailey ought to be broad eenough to
ignore if he can not forgive. Can one
imagine Clay or Calhoun resigning from
= committee to help a Southern univer-
sity because invidious comparisons had
been uttered by the president? Mr.. Bal
ley did not improve his standing by the
suggestion that DIR. Alderman was seek
ing the favor of those millionaires who
are supposed to abhor certain principles
and policies advocated by Southern sem
aiors and representatives. That, sort of
pr1tishness might be pardoned in the
case Of boy senator who had just
mstricuiated, but Mr. Bailey is now
scented among the adult senators. One
must conclude that Mr.. Bailey resigned
because the self-inflicted blow to his
scif-esteeln was more than he could bear.
As 4 matter Of fact the Southern
senators compare well with those from
osasrr parts Of the country. There are
some lightWeights among them, but the
Average is good The chief exception
that can be taken to them is that their
usefulness is too often impaired by a
petty spirit Of partisanship. Z

ct Tu, Kansas!

ct Tu, Kansas!
The leartrending news comes from
Wichita kan.-the Kansas of Old John
Brown of OssaWattomie - that when
Booker T. Washington recently lee
tured in Wichita he was refused en-
lodge with colored man and brother.
Now. if that incident had happened in
southern state it would have been
savagely commented on by all the Re
publican newspapers in the land and
would have been exploited as proof
positive that the denizens of those
states are only semicivilized. What
will they say about it now, when this
uncanny thing happened in bleeding
Kansas. which rolled up beastly ma
jority for Roosevelt at the late cleo
ton and which has solid Republican
delegation in both houses of congress?
How can this treatment of Professor
Washington be reconciled with the
statement made on the floor of the
house less than year ago by MIR.
Reeder of Kansas that majority of
the people of his district would con-
slider it great honor to eat with
Booker Washington or to have him for
a guest in their homes? Reeders dis
trict is not as strongly Republican as
the Wichita district; consequently his
declaration and the action of the Wichi-
ia bonifaces do not harmonic. What
are we to conclude from this incident?
Are the Republicans growing weary of
the Booker Washington cult, or are the
Wichita hotel keepers exceptional in
their views among Republicans? This
is matter that should be carefully in
vestigated by Senator Thomas Collier
Platt of New York and Representative
Crumpacker of Indiana, to say nothing
Of other palpitating patriots who have
been trying their level best to make po-
litical capital for themselves out of the
race question. They should by all
means look to the behavior of these
Wichita folks.

Child Labor Jeraey's Curse.


 The latest publication of the National Consumers League Is from the Secre- tary. Mrs. Kelley, who writes in Chari- ties of the needless destruction of boys in the glass factories of New Jersey. The laws Of that State prohibit the em- ployment of boys under 14 in manufac- ture, but allow night as we'll as day work after that age. The child-labor laws are enforced there also better than in many States, but they are in this re- spect of night work clearly insufficient. Boys in glass factories labor side by side with men, and even on men the strain is destructive. No blower sends his son to the glass factory to work, but orphan sons Of blowers are among the carriers. mouiders and gatherers. No. well-situated workingman sends his son into the glass bottle trade, but the sons of recently immigrated laborers with large families and small wages are thus sacrificed. and boys are im- ported from New York orphan asylums to work in the boiling heat at night and roam the streets fin gangs by day. Ohio. at least according to the law, protects boys from night work until they are 16. and both Ohio and Illinois are far ahead of New Jersey in replac- ing boys in glass factories by machin- cry. New York. Illinois. Ohio and Michigan have laws forbidding all work by children after certain evening \ hour, and no State is excusabie for leaving Its children without such pro. lection.
