p1scoETENTED REPUBLICANS.

The Democrats claim that the
Republican tariff plumbers tho
people to enrich the protected
monopoIsts, and the Republicans
declare the high cariff rates foster
industry and protect labor. The
Democratic claim is substantiated
by the fact Of the high prices
that everyone has TO pay for
trust products and that incomes
have not generally kept pace with
the increased cost of living. These
facts which many know are true
by their own experience, disprove
the Republican contention. But

UNDESIRABLE ADVERTISING

Marion is just now reaping the
benefit of the unfavorable adver-
t.sing which was given a few
weeks ago, when one or more of
the ministers of the city took oc-
cassion to say some very unfavor-
able things about the police depart
ment of the city. These remarks
were gathered up by the CORES
Dondents of out.of-town papers
and were given wide publication.
It was represented that Marion had
one of the most deficient police
forces Of any city IN the state.
The officers were represented as
being lax in their duties, allowing
crimes to be committed under their
very noses without so much as an
effort to apprehend the perpetrator
or correct the evils. This informa-
tion was eagerly gathered in by all
questionable characters and crooks
into whose hands the state papers
fell, with the result that some of
them, land their number seems to
be leg'on) began migrating to
Marion. That they arrived is shown
by the number of bulglaries and
attempted burglaiies which have
been reported within the past few
days. Not only have house breGk-
ers and hold-up men been attracted
but safe blowers are in the vicin-
ity, as shown at Prospect, Monday
evening.
Two mistakes were made. First,
the attack upon the police force was
unwaIranted; and second, the re-
marks OF the critics should not have
been sent broadcast over this and
adjoining states, even though they
had been correct.
If some mans dog runs across
his neighbor's buclwheat patch,
or if flock of chickens scratches
up somebody's flower bed, the first
inclination is to censure the police
department for not haS.ng had
man ON the scene to prevent the
depreciation having been commit
ted. Marion is now a city of almost
if not entireI.y. twenty thousand
inhabitants. The territory within
the corporation comprises some
thing near five square miles. For
police duty there are assigned thir-
teen men, including the chief, cap
tain and patrol driver. -Four Of
these men are assigned to day
work and eight to night work,
while one works from noon un's
midnight. The falacy of expecting
eight men to patrol five square
miles Of territory at night and
protect all of the property and at
the same time see that no leaks are
sprung in the cid" is apparent.
Marion has just as efficient a
police force as has any other city
which places such n low limit upon
the number OF patrolmen.
The bue coats do not merit the
criticism which is heaped upon
them, but it, the inclination 10 criti-
cize cannot be overcome, let us
have less publicity given to the
statements Of Malion's inefficient
police force.

The police department is up in arms.
The boys at headquarters say that the
present burglar scare now on in the
city is undoubtedly due to the adver-
tising given the city through he SEN
saional sermon of one of he local
preachers who declared that the Mar
ion police force was as rotten as that
of Chicago. These remarks were pub
lished in all the large city papers.
The police say that the crooks are
endeavoring TO see if the reports are

THE RECORD.

The Syndicated Banks which desire to
60 into the governing business i'll Louis
lana to the extent of free use of the
surplus in the States reasury, have a
candidate for Governor i'll the person OF
J. Y. Sanders, whose legislative record
has also gone to "slandering' him.
For instance, Sanders said at VIM
field that he aided i'll the passage of Act
46 of 1906, which prohibits receiving or
soliciting orders for the sale of liquors
in prohibition districts.
l.. A. Smith, superintendent of the
Louisiana Anti Saloon League. testifies
that from the introduction of the Act in
the House by S. d. Pearce of Ruston,
until its final passage under the leader
ship of Charles E. Lewis of Ruston,
"Mr. Sanders showed nowhere in the
contest for the measure. On the con-
trary, "the advocates of the measure felt
at all times the effect of his influence
against it." and "Mr. Sanders opposi-
ton was common talk in the capital
And again the Syndicate Candidate
says: II have been Sunday law man
all the time except in 1898, and even
then, in the widest flights of my imag-
nation, | never wanted whiskey sold
without a license"
In 1894 House Bill .3I7, an Act to re-
peal the Sunday law in New Orleans,
was voted upon June ~. 1t passed with
two votes to spare!
Mr.. Sanders voted for the repeal of
the law.
Four years following, in 1893, another
bill for the same ends came up. 1t failed
OF. passage in the House by two votes.
Mr.. Sanders voted again with the re-
pealers!
This time he put himself more spe-
officially on record, for he explained his
vote in these words:
1T was useless for any Legislature
to attempt to legislate morality for the
people. A man keeps the Sabbath &C
cording to the faith that is in him. Mr.
Sanders went on to plead for personal
liberty, saying he had no desire to have
the people of another parish dictate
what he should do or should not do He
thought there was more harm in pro-
hibition than in its absence"
All along since Mr.. Sanders took the
stump he has dealt in all unending
stream of denials, and denials of sworn
or recorded, facts.
He is undoubtedly the most stalwart
political prevaricator of his day and
generation.
Sanders must go!

Star Scint;IIation,

Much of the beauty of the stars de-
ponds upon their scintiilation. The
multitudinous flashing of their tiny
rays gives a wonderful life and bril-
lance to a winters night. The great
star Sirius eXcites the most admra-
ton when. near the horizon. it coruS-
Gates with rainbow hues. But the
astronomer would be glad if he could
put stop to the scintillation of the
stars. That unsteadiness of their light
is one of the chief obstacles he has to
overcome in studying them with the
telescope. Sterilization has generally
been regarded as due only to slight
disturbances in the atmosphere. But
as recent observations have shown that
red stars scintillate less than white
ones it has been suggested that the
causes for some of the essential diff
ferences in the scintillations of differ
ent stars may be in the stars them
selves There Is no doubt, however,
that the main cause of scintillation de-
ponds upon the condition of the air

made most important ruling in con-
