Following close upon the heels Of
the Loving case in Virginia came the
acquittal, at La Platte, Nd, of Mrs
Bowie and her son, Henry, for the
murder Of the man who had wronged
their daughter and sister. This case
was made still more notable because
the lawyer who defended the Bowies
and who, in his final argument, de
clared he confidently claimed the pro

the "unwritten law" as an adequate
defense for the defendants, was con

Truth of the Matter.

Editor st. Tammany FARMER:
Noticing "Capt." Sanford's let
ter in this weeks issue of the
News, / thought 1t would be well
to enlighten him on a few points.
Although he signs himself the Sec
rotary of tie Citizens League, and
should know the active members
Of his organization, he seems to
have forgotten that Article ~ OF
the Charter of the Citizens League
reads as follows:
The annual fees for membership In
this corporation shall be $l2.0O, paya-
BILE quarterly in advance.
II my memory is correct, the
parties mentioned in the letter tC
the News paid their first quarterly
fdues on the Sth Of February; there
tore, the second instalIment should
have been due on the 9Th of May
and as the said dues have not beer
paid, 1t is but reasonable to sup
pose that they did not desire tt
continue as members.
Truer words were never writer
Etban those IN which "Capt." San
i ford says: "NoW, ! wish to say
hemphatically, that the Citizen
/ League has not been and will no
be political machine, under 1t
present management
2. There is not the slightesl bit o
danger of their managing anything
of greater magnitude than thei
editor of the "War Cry, "of whom
they have succeeded in taking ad
mirable care.

state that, with the present power

A Vaudeville EIOpement.

Quite an interesting and roman
tic wedding took place in New Or,
leans last Tuesday, the parties be-
ing from Vaudeville. Frank PHIL
lips, Of that town, and Miss May
Wise were sweethearts, but lhe
mother of the young lady objected
to the wedding, which was set for
July 8. Mr.. Phillips has been
paying attention to the Young lady
for two years, and they determined
to defy the opposition of the
mother and become man and wife.
Monday night MIR. Phillips took
Miss Wise to his SISTERS house, and
Tuesday morning they took the
train at Buford Station. The moth
er was looking for them at Mande-
vile, but they escaped and went to
the city, where they were married
by Rev. Father Weldon, at st.
Joseph's Church. Ernest Prieto
and Mrs. A. Haurd stood up with
the young people at the marriage.
MIR. and MIS-. Phillips will remain
several days in the city, after which
they will be glad to receive their
friends at Vaudeville, where Mr..
Phillips IS a prominent livery stable
man and undertaken.

Postmaster TheriOt.

Mr.. P. K. Theriot received his
commission last Monday as Post.
master of Covlngton, to succeed
Mrs. L. Alverez,, who has held
the position for number of years,
and before coming here was post
master at Vaudeville. Mr.. TherI-
OF came here a number of years
ago from Houma, La, where he
had been quite successful IN busi-
ness, and it was not long after his
arrival before he had made place
for himself in local business
circles, and at the time of the dis
astrous fire some years ago, which
wiped out a large part of the town,
he was classed as one of Coving-
toms most substantial merchants.
He lost almost everything IN the
fire, but he has steadily recouped
his loses until he is to-day ranked
as one of the towns most thrifty
citizens. Mr.. Theriot has for
years been a stanch Republican,
and when there was prospect of
a vacancy in the local post office
his name was the first one mention
ed, and he had the endorsement
of many prominent citizens. He
possesses all the necessary quallfi-
cations, and we have no doubt will
make an efficient and accommada-
ting official.

The big barbecue dinner given
by the victorious Regulars last Sun
day, on The Tcbefuncta River. was
time long to be remembered for
the joyial good fellowship that pre-
vailed and for the prominent citi-

abundance of good things for the
inner man, and the good feeling
evidenced by all made it a grand
and successful demonstration.
Short addresses were made by

are requesting these poles to be

emyo

The pupils of St. Scholastica's
Academy will hold their Fourth
Annual Commencement, Thursday,
June 90, at 3 p. m. in St. Schol-
astica's Amusement Hall.
The patrons and friends of the
institution are cordially invited to
attend. However, owing to lack
of accommodation, babies and chill
dren canuot be admitted.
Quite an interesting program has
been prepared for the occasion,
and large attendance is expected.
On Friday, May 31st, one of the
best entertainments ever seen in
this town was put on at Contrelle
Rink under the auspecies Of the
Uniform Rank W. 0. W. The af-
fair was under the management of
Messrs. Landry, Pechon and
Rousseau, and the success attend
ing their efforts was unbounded.
The show from beginning to end
was most satisfactory. Mr.. Sid.
Fuhrman's revelation was very
amusing, and the audience
heartily applauded. RI. Ryan, with
Fitzgerald as his mechanical doll,
was great and the crowd was fooled
tor minute or two.
Quite a surprise was experienced
by the friends of our local boy
Freddie Vorhoff, when he rendered
in faultless style, IN a sweet, clear
tenor, "And little child shall lead
them" For encore he sang ''mee
me at the church." With littl
training MIR VOrhOH would DE

yond doubt he is New Orlean
greatest tenor.
A. Gabriel in his character song
and work was better than most s
called professionals, and Mr.. A
Verges is pianist of the highes
rank. His work was greatly az
preciated and loudly applauded.
The comedy entitled "a midnigf

The Right to Vote.

Editor St. Tammany FARMEK.
/ notice IN the Franklinton New
Era communication dated June 4,
signed ga Frlend,'' IN which
Judge rhos. M. Burns is con-
demned for having voted the Regu.
lar Democratic ticket. It seems
to me that in doing this he has
shown the same wisdom that has
characterized his conduct Oh the
bench, won for HIM distinction,
and made for him an enviable repu-
tation as an able and impartial
judge, who has done much toward
extirpatlng lawlessness and main
tanning peaceful conditions in his
district. Judge Burns took no active
part whatever III the election, and
that he should he subject to crlti-
cism for having exercised the right
that is given to every citizen TO
cast his vote free from restraint or
coerclve influences spreads a
shadow over the intelligence and
fairmIndedness Of the critic.
That high license would accom-
plish what Is claimed for 1t by it's
advocates is disputed proposition,
and the result Of the election shows
that a very large majority of the
people supported the Regular
ticket, in the belief that in so do
ing they were acting for the best
interests of the community.
Intolerance of thought and &C
ton of others; blgoted, unylelding,
selfish egotism, that recognizes the
utility of naught that does not &C
cord with the set opinion of an
individual or class, If gwen full
power and sway, would cause those
conditions TO eventuate which it
has taken us hundreds of years to
override and suppress-a retro
grade movement undeslred by
anyone Of intelligence. Yet that
is the tendency of the criticism of
ga Friend,'' If his ideas were
carried TO a practical conclusion.
Judge Burns voted the Regular
Democratic ticket, and it is to be
presumed that in doing so he fol-
lowed the dictates of his con-
science. Both IN his official
capacity and as citizen he COM
mands the highest respect of the
community, and it is not right that
an attempt should he made to rem.
der him responsible for imaginary
evlls-evils that were magnifed
for political effect by the CoVing.
ton News, during It's mudsllnglng
campaign.
Ajudge is not supposed to do
police duty, but to enforce the
laws when violations are brought
to his notice in due course of legal
procedure.
While I must congratulate ga
Friend" upon his complete system
for rapid transit of news, yet ]
am afraid that IN this matter he is
travelling that $3.50 gait" he
speaks about IN the commencement
of his communication.
