To the Cotton Owners.

About three weeks ago when
things looked their worst in cot
ton market affairs | issued u
circular letter asking the people
To stand together and make the
fight to n finish for fifteen cent
cotton. Today | want to renew
that request and now call on
every man who owns a bale of
cotton to hold on to it tighter
tLan he ever has held and his
reward will surely be fifteen cents
for his cotton.
The more persistently that
cotton is held the sooner will the
price reach fifteen cents and the
sooner will the cotton producers
realize that they have won the
greatest victory in the history of
the world.
Common sense will convince
any man that cotton will bring
just what the owners of cotton
will make it bring. you cannot
get 10000 for a horse if you will
sell it for $500 and you cannot
get l5 cents for your cotton if
you will sell it for IL, II, 13 or
Ia cents.
Pay no attention to the bearish
arguments that will appear from
time To time in the newspapers
who are unfriendiy to Is cent
cotton. Sit steady in the boat
and victory will surely be yours.
Yours truly,
PAUL NJ. PoTTs,
Pres. La. Div. S. G.. A.

A DAYLIGHT
CONFEDERATION
Two-Story Residence Of c. L.
Jones Becomes Prey to
Devouring Flames.

Last Saturday morning the
alarm of fire vas sounded by the
city hall bell and the usual dis
charge of fire arms. 1t was To-
Gated at the residence of Mr.. e..
l.. Jones on Maple street. Wien
the alarm was given the whole
building was in a blaze. The
residenc. was a twO-story build
ing containing ten rooms. As
usual the citizens hastened to the
rescue and succeeded in saving
many of the household goods.
BY heroic efforts they prevented
the fire from igniting the home
of j. j. Payne on the west,
although the wind was partly
blowing in that direction.
The house was estimated to be
worth at least $500 and was
well stocked with furniture. Mr..
Jones carried an insurance of
81 800 on the house and 81 900
on the furniture. That saved was
considerably damaged by break
age. The fatal kitchen flue was
the cause of the blaze. When
the fire was first discovered it
could have been easily extin-
guished, but at that time of day
there was not a man to give
assistance.
This disaster falls heavy on the
family at this time, and the
warmest sympathy is expressed
for them in their heavy loss.
The kitchen fiues of u large
number of houses are dangerous
traps of flimsy construction and
a menace to the buildings where
they exist. They should be care
fully examined and made fire.

The State Printing.

was initiated at the recent extra
session of the Legislature by
Representative Hunsicker, of
Caddo. He favored the plan of
having it done by the several
State institutes. That .his ques-
tion will come before'the regular
session of the Legislature is a
foregone conclusion.
The Baton Rouge Truth, in dis
cussing this question, declares
that it cannot be done by the
pupils of the State Institutions
because it requires the best typo
graphical talent from start to
finish. This requires competent
printers who only belong to the
typographical union and the rules
Of that organization permit but
one apprentice to each four or
five journeymen employed in an
establishment. Then the Truth
goes on to say:
No, the state printing cannot
be done by the pupils of state
institutions, but the state can
establish a printing plant and
have it managed and run by
union craftsmen, and Improperly
managed, great saving to the
state would result over what it
costs at present.
The current printing law is not
q bad one, if the printing board
will award the printing as the
law provides instead of bulking
it and letting one person or firm
have it all. Under the law as it
now stands there are three
distinct departments. The of
fetal journal publications, bills.
etc.; the blanks, election tickets
and other stationery and the book
binding. The law provides that
a bidder may bid upon either of
the three by furnishing q bond in
the sum of $1,000 or upon all,
the bond to be $4,000, but the
board generally Jumps the job
and the state suffers considerable
loss.
The printing will either be done
by state plant under rules of
the international Typographical
Union. by private firms or the
state authorities will have the
biggest kind Of ! union war on
their hands.
Nevertheless something should
be done to make the public
printing less of q graft.

Rise up and subject the candidates
to the Louisiana catechism of

Reforms have come, but there
are others that are needed. Who
should have the honor for the re-
cent laws enacted? No one but
the people. This was the newt
able result Of placing power in
the hands of those to whom it
properly belonged.-the sovereign
voters. The citizens of State
who cast the ballots are the arbit-
ers of their own government.
They select the Lawmakers and
can dictate those enactments
which will add to the prosperity
and good of all, by selecting the
men who represent the best inter-
ests of the people. This is the
whole matter in a nutshell. Ex-
clude from office every man who
betrays his trust, does not carry
out his sworn duty. and the result
will be perfection in government.
as near as human honesty, truth
and virtue can attain it. The
people are the source of all power.
Let them exercise it properly and
they will become its beneficiaries.

The show which opened yesterday is
without any doubt going TO be the most
successful affair OF the kind ever seen
on this side of the Atlantic The
Olympia. where it is held. has been con-
verted into a veritable fairyland, fun
of unusual attractions.
More than ten miles of delicate crepe
de chine have been used in carrying out
the scheme Of decoration. and the I'M
mense hall is brilliantly lighted by cleo
trio lights aggregating nearly 10000
candle-power.
Whole gardens have been denuded to
supply the lavish floral decorations. and
the jumps and bitches are Of so realis-
tic a character as to greatly add to the
general picturesqueness-
There is music all day long. and of
the very best kind. for the band of the
Grenadier Guards alternates with Lord
Ionsdales private band. which has
never before played in public.
Nearly the whole royal family was
present at the opening yesterday. and
it is supposed that most Of the male
members will be again tonight In the
royal box, which is fanked on either
side by boxes occupied by members Of
the highest British arisJocracy and So
ciety leaders from New York. Il was
admitted by all who attended the open
ing that London had never seen a
greater beauty show, and all agreed
that IL IL were a real beauty show. the
American ladies would carry of the
prizes.
AS in New York. there viii be con-
tinuous performances every day during
the Horse Show. lasting from $50 IN

KAISER FIGHTS
FOR BIGGER NAVY

BERLIN. June SIN spite of the
strong opposition of the majority of the
German people against devoting more
money to military and naval expen-
ditures. the Kaiser continues to agitate
for the building OF even more battle
ships than mis- own plans called for two
years ago.
Emeperor William let's no opportunity
slip by 70 impress IL upon the minds of
those who come near him that owing 70
Germany's isolated position in the world
she must have a powerful navy that
she may hope to be left alone.
At the recent annual conference OF
the German Navy League, at Cologne.
Il was plainly shown that it means little
or nothing that Germany is represented
at the Peace Conference at The Hague.
The Kaiser not only sent a message
TO the 300 delegates present at the con-
ference. but he also sent a special rep
resentative. who at length told the con-
ference what the Emperor actually
thought, although ne could not officially
let his thoughts become known.
Addressing the conference. the i'm
periaI messenger, General Won Hahnke
said: Il ana commanded to convey the
present. His majesty desires me to
thank all those who are carrying on the
good work Of the Navy League. which
has filed the Kaiser with Joy and pride
The Kaiser hopes that the league will
remain strong ard united showing the
German nation an example of patriot
ism and spirit. which ought 10 prevail
in public life"
To please their imperial master the
conference then adopted a resolution
calling for a quicker construction or
new battleships than Germany had seen
hitherto and the appropriation OF
enough money necessary to give the
country a navy equal to that of France
within the next decade.
AS a proof of the Kaisers love OF
England and everything English. he al
lowed his messenger to say that no SEN
sible man thought that any power IN
Europe cared for the friendship of Eng
land for its own sake. but it was sought
after only because Great Britain has a
powerful navy which renders her a
valuable friend and a formidable foe.
Germany at the present time resem-
bles a lonely man with a thin cane
facing a group of menacing rivals,
armed with thick. heavy cudgels. No
representatives OF English or American
papers were allowed to be present at
the conference, while correspondence of
conservative papers. also all over the
country, were especially invited.

ENGLISH stop HISTORY
OF BOER WAR GRAF

LONDON, June s.-England is not to
know the real truth about the Boer war.
TO save the regulations of certain we'll
known generals and officials, the war
office has had Colonel Henderson's IN
finished History of the Boer War de-
stroyed. 1t was written as their official
history by the greatest English writer
on military subjects since Napier, but
its author died before completing his
monumental work.
After Colonel Henderson's death. the
war office examined his work and found
that IL was much too outspOken about
the blunders and graft that distinguished
the campaign. They have. therefore.
ordered the compilation Of an entirely
new history by a stan of officers under
the direction of Gen. Sir Frederick
Maurice. who is. perhaps. the only mil
itary writer who could adequately ill
Colonel Hendersons place.
But the new official history will deal
gently with the regulations of the dis
tinguished muddlers.

Fairbanks
NOT REALLY
TRULY HERO

Washington. Aug. 9.--What is said to be
rescue by Vice-President Fairbanks OF a
young and beautiful waitress who>was
about to drown in a pond in Yellowstone
park several weeks ago was told yester-
day by members of a party OF Washing
ton newspaper correspondents who were
- in- the park at the time. According to
their narrative of the incident the attenu-
ated form of Indianas longest son was
folded calmly In an easy chair on the
porch OF the hotel at which he was a
guest. He was discussing commonplace
topics with a party OF friends.
Suddenly the shrill cry OF a woman in
distress resounded through the park fast
nesses. She had fallen into pond where
the water was two feet deep. Some boys
who were In the vinicity waded In and as
sisted her to the shore. In the meantime
the vice-president and his friends, who
had heard the alarm. hurried to the wa
ters edge.
The vice-president expressed his sorrow
over the incident and congratulated the
young men upon their gallantry and hero
ism. but, according to the story of the
Washington newspaper men, he did not
so much as wet the soles of his shoes or
lay hands upon the heroine of the splash.
Two hours afterward, when she had re-
covered fully. had dried her clothes and
was able to resume her duties In the din
ing room, the party OF Washington corre-
spondents reached the hotel and were
told the story.
There chanced to be present the corre-
spondent of a newspaper in Indianapolis,
interested naturally I'm the doings OF the
vice-president. The result was that the
story of the great act of heroism per-
formed by Mr.. Fairbanks was given to
the world

FATALITY BLAME
SQUARELY PLACED

That the brakes on the Taunton vesti-
buled car. which ran away at watchemo-
ses square on July and caused one death
and the injury OF upward OF 80 persons.
were so adjusted as to be useless so fsS
as, the stopping of the car was concerned.
Is the declaration OF George NJ. Bronson,
chis5 car Inspector OF the Rhode Island
company. He sduarely places the blame
for the disaster upon the Old Colony Rail-
way company.
Mr.. Bronsons statement was made Mt
the inquest into the death of Paul ID.
Munroe, motorman on the car which was
struck by the Taunton electric car, before
Coroner Eugene III. Lincoln OF this city
yesterday afternoon. Mr.. Bronson do
clared that, In his opinion. the motorman
of the Taunton car did everything that
a human being could do 10 avert the ac-
cdent. but that the cause for the acci-
dent lay in defects In the cars me-
chanism.
According to Mr.. Bronson. the air brake
was defective, the hand brake was defec-
tive and the air gauge was falsely ADJUST
ed The air brake, he said was rendered
defective by the blowing out of an enclos-
ed fuse that was constructed that the
motorman or conductor would have no
knowledge OF it's blowing out. except
through the falling OF the pressure as In
dicated by the gauge. The air gauge.
however was declared TO have registered
IS pounds pressure. even after the dial
had been broken off from the car.
Through alleged faulty construction OF
the car, the cable attached TO the hand
brake chain was connected to the cross
bar by a cleat so large that II would NOT
allow the bar TO pass through the hole
cut in the blocking under the compressed
air box.
Mr. Bronson told the coroner that while
the hand brake as II was adjusted on that
particular car might have checked the
speed OF a car on level ground. provided
Il had time enough, IL could never have
stopped loaded car coming down such
an incline at Taunton Hill
BRONsON'S STORY.
In part he said:
''I made an examination OF the brakes.
the car being equipped with air and hand
brakes. I found that the wiring for the
air brakes and been torn out, mean by
this the electric wires that connect the
air compressors that pump the air that
operates the brake. The severance Of
these wires would prevent the air brakes
from working. l have every reason to be-
lievc that these wires were broken at the
time OF the crash. Aside from the broken
wires discovered that the fuse on the
air brake was blown. Excepting for tho
breaking OF the wires the pump was In
