New Orleans social season being in full
swing. the presentation this week of
IYouisiana's silver service to the new bat
tleshin Louisiana was made a social event
of genuine note in the Crescent City.
The service was the handsomest thing the
artists could design and the silversmiths
could execute The punch bowl alone
weighed more than an hundred pounds
and In raised work thereon appeared all
the principal historical events in Iouisi-
ana. Each parish, or country, was rep
resented by an historical silver goblet
In addition there were handsome cake
and fruit baskets, an immense waiter
and other needful articles, such as ladies',
etc.
The presentation was made aboard ship
today Saturday December 80, by
committee of leading citizens, headed by
Governor Blanchard Mayor Behrman and
President Godehaux and Secretary Trez-
evant of the New Orleans Progressive
union, and was accepted on behalf of the
battleship by Commander Albert r. Con-

Here are some things that happen.
ed In Wellington that have not been
seen In print, and will serve as ex-
amples OF "u~nprintable" news:
A young boy, led into temptation,
got drunk. HIS name was known, but
1t was withheld because to spread
abroad the story Of his early down.
fall would be to cast discredit on his
name for years to come, bring added
sorrow to his parents, already grief
stricken.
A young married man was obsery.

encircling the form of another mans
wife. Why that particular item was
omitted Is obvious.
An elderly man, respected, honored
having a fine family, was accused Of
q most grave ~offensc. To publish The
story Of that man would have effaced
every noble deed, every honorable mo.
tive or act In his life. leaving naught
but disorder, sundered family rela.

A boy, the son OF honest and re.
spected parents. was caught red-hand.
ed, stealing q ring In a local jewelry
store. Not a word OF the matter was
said; the boy was given a chance to
reform without the world learning OF
his disgrace.
BY the foregoing 1t will be seen that
we mean by 'nnprintable' news. It
Is not the part Of a newspaper to
shield crime, to place the sheltering
blanket OF ~obscurity about the Grim.

INJUSTICE a. that aimed at by the
provision In the bill which requires
only q majority OF the votes Of the
two territories taken together. To
force Arizona into the union against
her will by the votes OF New Mexico
or to force New Mexico in By tn,
votes OF Arizona would be a iranker

Fortunately the love of Justice 10 the
people Of the nation and the growing
sentiment In congress have inter-

planned by the ambitious leaders who
put partizanship above patriotism.
Fortunately, also, the senate Of the

man as al the lower house under

Letter From the South.

Steamer "America," Some
Place on the Mississippi River.
Dead Dad. Well of all dandy
trips | ever have taken think
this trip up the river beats
them all. We left New Or
leans Saturday night at 5
O'Clock on the steamer "Amer-
ica," twin sister boat to the
"Natchez," the boat you and
Mother took your trip in. We
have q fine, large state room
and everyone is so congenial.
There is a piano in the cabin
and of course we have music.
The meals are simply fine. We
like them much better than the
New Orleans cooking. have
discovered something new in
the eating line ''gritts." |
suppose you have eaten them
but it is my first experience.
Another peculiar thing to us,
they have rice three times a
day and they serve it in gravy.
| don't like the combination,
but then so many of their eat
ables are different from ours
up north. The coffee, especial
ly, is something awful; so
strong it can walk. The cap
tain has been perfectly dandy
to US. Yesterday we landed at
a plantation which had former
ly been an old southern home
and he took us over there and
went through it with us. We
stopped at Baton Rouche, the
capital Of Louisiana, an hour
yesterday, and the captain
took us up around the city. 1t
is a city with about ten thou
sand inhabitants and looks like
the rest of the southern cities.
None of them have the "go"
and hustle and thriving air of
the northern cities and even
towns. We went through the
state house in Baton Rouche.
1t is a handsome building, re-
sembling an old castle, made of
white stone. 1t was first built
in 1882, but was partly de-
stroyed by fire later and was
remodeled. The rotunda on
the inside is all made of red
iron and the top is made of al
ternate red and blue panels of
glass, which makes a beautiful
effect. The floors are made of
black and white squares of
marble. In the senate cham
Der there is a magnificent pic
ture of the battle of New Or
leans that occupies over half
of one of the walls. We went
in the governors private office
and his secretary told us the
