The resolution asking for the in.

Taggart was presented to the con-

Il. O.. Wood, of Flint, formerly
chairman of the. State Central Com

the resolution had been read, with
a motion that 1t be laid on the table.
He said that there was nothing to

improper and wrong for the conven-

Yet We squapder the precious mo-

Picayune
The Picayune has so plainly de-
clared it's opposition to the policy
OF changing our Senators and Re-
representatives. in Congress when
they have proved their ability and
usefulness in a manner that no new
men can hope to equal until they
shall have served a full appren-
ticeship. that no individual ex-
preston in favor of any of Loui-
siana's able sons at Washington
seems necessary.
But the opening of the campaign
at Abbeville of Hon. Robert F.
Broassard, of the Third Congress
sioual District. for reelection to a
seat in the National House of Re-
representatives. at Washington, is
an event which should not be
lightly passed over.
Mr.. Broussard was elected to
the Fifty-fifth Congress to succeed
the able and popular Andrew
Price. whose failing health caused
Louisiana the loss of his distin-
guishrd services. Mr.. Broussard
was reelected to the Fifty-sixth.
Fifty-seventh, Fifty-eigth and
Fifty-ninth Congresses, and be is
now the choice OF the people of
his district for the Sixtieth Con-
gress.
He has become 80 useful, able
and important in the National Le-
gislsture to the great aud ever
growing interests of Louisiana that
be cannot be spared from the place
where he is rendering such valua-
BILE service. His own constituents

tons that in Bob Broussard they
"have an able, brilliant and talen-
ted, wido-awake and energetic re-
preventative, and a tried and ex-
perienced statesman. who has ser.

ADJUSTMENTS
1.-THE sTRoLLERs. TONIGHT.

Few musical comedies have enjoyed
the popularity of "The Strollers, -
which comes to the Keylor Grand to-
night. The book of this splendid Of
fering is the work of Harry B. Smith,
and was written when that prolific
writer was in the zenith of his fame.
The music is by that celebrated COM
poser of true melody, Ludwig Eng
lander When 1.-THE Strollers" was
first produced at the Knickerbocker
theater, New York, such notable ar
lists as Francis Wilson, Eddie Foy,
Irene Bentley and Marie George were
in the cast. Later it was presented
with Marguerite Sylvia as the star.
The company which will be seen at
the Keylor Grand is by no means the
least notable that has appeared in the
play, as Teddy Webb, Aida Hemmi,
Joseph w. Smith, Francis Carrier and
Frieda Wisher are among those promi-
nent in the cast.

GIVE THE PEOPLE JUSTICE.

81 know Mr.. Reese. know his tao
tics. 1 could swallow them for 9
while, but they won't go any further.
We have to give the people Justice"
These are the ringing words of
Councilman Guy Bridges, spoken in
open council meeting, following up the
intimation that some of his associates
in the council were controlled by the
Warren Construction company.
What more do the people Of Walla
Walla want to convince them 1t is
time to make a stand for municipal
purity and oppose the corrupting in
f1uence of a greedy corporation? What
else is necessary to bring about pub
lie protest against the methods of the
company and the gross betrayal of
public Office by the bitulithic squad in
the city council?
The Indifference of the taxpayers
and property owners at this time
amounts to almost a crime. 1t is an
actual compromising of a felony, if the
charges of paving graft be true, and
there is every reason to believe there
is something doing" between the
paving company and the members of
the council it controls.
Whether that something amounts to
actual cash payment for disregarding
the peoples rights, or whether 1t
comes in the shape of campaign ex-
penses - either is corruption and
should not be tolerated. The sensa-
tional scene in the city council should
not be allowed to pass unnoticed. The
taxpayers should arise in their might
and demand an investfgation-call for
grand jury If necessary.
1--WE have to give the people JUS
tice"
Councilman Bridges declaration was
fearlessly and honestly made. He
knew what he was talking about.
There is little doubt that he knows
more. Mr.. Bridges is a conservative
business man-not a sensational poll
tician There is more back of that re-
mark than has been made public.
Get in, Mr.. Taxpayer, and help give
the people justice. Don't let Frank
Reese bump the head" of Council
man Tausick again, when the council
man is fighting for your interests.

1.-THE MIDNIGHT FLYER"

Rarely has a dramatic event excited
the wide and deep interest that has
been shown in Ed Anderson's big
scenic production "The Midnight Fly
err Seldom, if ever, has a stage Of
fering received such superlative praise
from the newspaper press and such at
tention from ecclesiastic publications
Not only have all classes of regular
theater goers been attracted by "The
Midnight Flyer" but all other circles
have patronized and endorsed it. "The
Grand Illuminated Scene" 1.-THE Man,
moth Ship Scene" 'The Storm at
Sea-" "Tne Realistic Ship Wreck
1.-THE Adirondack Mountains in Win
ter" and 1.-THE Thrilling Railroad
Scene" are some Of the scenic eff
fects that are to be seen in this big
production. The play as staged by
Mr.. Anderson and the supporting COM
pany is Of that high excellence always
seen in productions given by this well
known and popular manager. The en-
gagement is for one night only and
will be at the Keylor Grand, Wednes-
day, January 7.

Anxious About Clothes.

One of the last requests made by
Sloane of the Spokane sheriff was that
If his clothes were changed that he
would take good care of the black suit
he wore and see that it was taken
back to Spokane and kept safely so
that he could wear it again
Notwithstanding the claim made by
his attorneys that Sloane must not be
treated like the ordinary criminal he
was received at the penitentiary in
the usual manner.
He was bathed, had his head shaved,
and was given the regulation suit of
stripes and assigned to a cell last
Sidney Sloane.
According to Warden Kincaid, Sloane
made no fuss over the change of attire
but submitted quietly to all the GUS
tomary forms of receiving a priso-
ner into the "pen."
Attorney Robertson Of Spokane, the
counsel for young Sloane, is quoted
as saying that if Sloane was forced
to wear stripes habeas corpus pro-
ceedings would be begun at once in the
federal court for his release. The war
den said this afternoon that no papers
had been served on him.
The prisoner was not visited by an
attorney nor anyone alone this morn
ing.

Two Types Of Lawyers.

A Philadelphian was praising for
his learning and uprightness the late
Judge M. Russell Thayer
He quoted the moving passage from
Judge Thayer's will:
lowing to the fact that almost my
entire life has been passed in the pub
lie service of the United States and
of the state of Pennsylvania, 1 have
but small estate to leave to my dear
children and wife,
"Those are different words" he
said, ''from the kind we nave been
hearing lately. 1t seems odd to us to
think of public servant regarding his
post as anything but a plum tree. We
have here another proof that a man
really honorable can never become very
rich.
Judge Thayer was a very honor
able man. First as a lawyer, after
wards as a judge, he treated all with
whom he had dealings with the great
est fairness. Once, years ago, after he
had served me we'll in difficult
case, I demonstrated with him about
the smallness of his fee.
"'Well,' ne said, smiling, and SMELL
ing the flower in his 'buttOnhole. I
you know, am not that type of lawyer
whose client once said: "I never was
entirely ruined but twice. Once when
I lost a lawsuit, and once when I
gained one" af
