THE NEXT dOvERNORsHIP.

The fact needs hardly to he
stated in these columns that the
BANNER is unfalteringly in favor
of Hon. j. Y. Sanders for the
next Governor of the State OF
Louisiana. We will accord him
our support on several grounds.
First, because he is true and
tried Democrat and friend of the
people. He has always stood
firmly and squarely on Democratic
principles and has never once fall
tered in advocating every meas
ure in which the welfare or the
political rights of the people were
involved. He was staunch adj
vocate of primary elections and
of returning to the people every
power which of right belongs to
them. Second, because he is
a native of the parish of St.
Mary. Third, because we hon
estly believe that his past record
and his services to the people
Of the entire State-not to
mention anything of his eminent
abilities-entitie him to this dis
tinction at the hands Of the peo-
pie when the election comes to
pass two years hence. We wish
to say nothing derogatory Of the
merits of any:other gentlemen al
ready spoken of In connection
with the next governorship. but
that Mr.. Sanders is decidedly the
best man is hardly to be denied.
A primary election will have to
decide the question as to who will
be the candidate, and this primary
promises to be spirited one, but
we have confidence in the politi-
cal foresight and judgment Of the
people to predict now that Hon.
Jared Y. Sanders will lead the
race and be the next Governor of
the State of Louisiana. He well
deserves this honor,

The Cuban government in Cuba
may not differ materially from the
carpet-bag government which
foisted themselves on every
Southern State at the close Of the
Civil War, and if that is so-and
in all likelihood it is-no won
der the Cubans are up in arms
against the tyranny. The Cubans
have this advantage that they are
not compelled to stand for such
government because they were
not previously crushed out of
every resource by Uncle Sam, as
the South was, and with our
knowledge of the past to guide us,
we ought to 60 a little slow before
condemning the uprising OF the
Cubans against the Palma gov
eminent. All offers to bring
about peace on the island have
prove abortive. The government
says it is able to cope with and
crush the rebellion. but this seems !

In a speech delivered in the
House of Representatives on May
8, 1905. John Sharpe Williams,
the Democratic floor leader. de-
fined the Democratic position on
the tariff as follows: 1--WE are
simply anti-protectionists. We
are not free traders. Our purpose
is revenue. We would not in
augurate protectionism where it
does not exist. We would remove
it wherever it does exist, as rapid
ly as it can be DONE" This fair
ly states the case.

EXPRESS COMPANIES PLUMBER
ING,

I.'s rather amusing to hear from
the Express Companies attorneys
that the public never complained
Of the high rates charged by those
corporations. Perhaps now the
express business is under the con-
troll of the Interstate Commerce
Commission, the Express mag
mates will soon discover there are
outraged customers of all the Ex-
press Companies, who have long
protested at the high rates charged
but never officially filed their COM
plants, knowing from experience
it was useless to do so. Those
who find express rates are unreas-
onabiy high should lose no time
in sending their complaints to the
Interstate Commerce Commission
with statement of the rate charg-
ed and the facts about the ship
ment complained of. From the
evidence brought to light in the
fight Of the Adams Express Com
pany shareholders for larger div
idends, it was shown that that
had millions of sur
plus and was earning nearly 40
per cent. Evidently the rates of
that corporation should be, at
least, reduced to one third of the
present rates.
1t is well to note that railroad
magnate Hartman, who we have
been informed islands upon Il |
higher plane" than other people,
owns the controlling interest of
hat plundering corporation.

THE SIXTH CONGRESSIONAL
DISTRICT SURPRISE.

The Sixth Congressional Dis
trict of Louisiana has just emerg-
I'd from one of the most holly
contested political campaigns it
ever experienced. 1t was a pri-
mary election for a candidate to
lead the Democracy in the Dis
trict in the'coming election this
fall, and this choice fell upon
Judge Favrot by a decisive major
ity. Judge Favrot is yet young
man, we'll versed in political mat
tiers, a man Of unquestioned abil-
ity and a Democrat descended
from a long line of families who
have always stood foremost in ad-
vocating and demanding the prin-
ciples of sound Democracy in
Louisiana. Opposed to Judge
Favrot was the present incum-
bent, Col. Sam Robertson, like
wise gentleman of fine parts
and attainments.
When one realizes the difficulty,
under present political conditions
prevailing in this State, to sup
plant one in Office by an outsider,
thd victory just achieved by Judge
Favrot stands out as the only ex-
ample Of its kind in recent years,
that is. insofar as concerns an
Office Of any real consequence.
The new primary election law has
doubtlessly helped to bring such
a possibility about at this late
day, Though it is yet quite
defective in providing punishment
for its violation by designing and
INSCRIPTIONS poljticians. Un-
der one Of the cardinal provis-
ions of this new law any man so
DESTROYS, thinking his popularity
sufficient with the masses, can set
up a candidacy in the primary for
the nomination by comforting to
certain rules relative to expense
and eligibility and no packed
conventions or other such meth
DDS Of the professional politician
can close him out That much we
have to be thankful to the late
Legislature. 1t shows the return
to true Democracy.
When we assert that much re-
mains to be done to make this
primary law exactly what it ought
to be-, we base our assertion on
the charge that in the Sixth Dis
trict fight, Governor Blanchard
in behalf of Col. Rob-
ertson. The Governor in a DEM
ocratic State should never lose
sight of the fact that he is nothing
more than the servant of the peo-
pc and it is vastly indiscreet and
injudicious on his part to force
his favorites upon the people or
to take any side whatever in pri-
mary electoral contests between
acknowledgements. The primary
election law ought to be made,
later on, to cover such cases and
to provide severe punishment.
We believe that in the election of !
Judge Favrot the people of the
Sixth District will find an able,
aggressive, and in all respects, a |
worthy successor to Col. Robert

A call has been issued by Gov

Interested m IhasC Case.

After firing four shots at James Sweeney, a
bellboy. Thomas Abbey. OF No. 224 West S5th
street. killed himself with his last bullet last
evening. The shooting took place in a furnished
room occupied by Sweeney on the third floor Of
No 9Os Sixth avenue. between 51st and SD
streets.
Sweeney was hurried to Roosevelt Hospital
by DR.. Park in a dying condition. All four shots
took effect and little hope is expressed by the
doctors of his recovery.
According TO the police, jealousy over a
woman, with whom Sweeney was living, and
who formerly lived with Abbey. prompted the
latter TO attempt to murder the young man. At
the time of the shooting the. woman. who gives
her name as Lucy Wilson. was lying on the bed
in the rOom knitting. At the East 51st street
station, where she was detained as a witness.
she at first said that she Sweeney's wife,
but later denied it.
According to the police. Abbey had been in
tensely interested in the Thaw case, and had
read nearly everything printed about it. They
say that 70 his comrades he frequently ex-
pressed the opinion that he would have done ex-
actly as Thaw did if he had been in his place.
