WILKiNSONITES BREAK MIRO THE
NEW SpAPER FIELD.

New Orleans, Sept. 5.-The
desperate straits to which the
Wilkinson capitalists are reduc-
ed to get their views and the
opinions of their candidate be-
fore the public is evidenced by
the number of new newspapers
that are being established
throughout the State. Scarcely
day passes but some announce
ment is made of the proposed
publication OF campaign sheet
IN some town to be devoted to
the interest of the "Sugar Ba-
ron's candidacy.
AT the very opening of the
campaign, the remarkable spec
tScle was presented of candl-
date with hardly newspaper in
the entire State at his back.
With an unanimity of opinion
rarely witnessed the almost en-
tire press of the State declared
against the man from Plaque
mine. 1t is now apparent that
he and his friends and financial
hackers consider it cheaper to
establish new papers than to
buy the plants of the papers al
ready in the field whose inhu-
ence they could not purchase.
The newspaper is the most
valuable assistant the candidate
can have in his canvas for votes.
If he has none at his back he is
in a lamentable position and for
this reason it is probable that
MIR. Wilkinson and his friends
are spending their money SO
literally in this direction. To
present their claims as they
want them to be presented they
must have newspapers. There
tore it begins to look as il be-
fore long there will be campaign
sheets established the idea being
to distribute them free il they
cannot get the faithful TO help
out with subscriptions.
The latest report regarding
the establishment of Wilkin-
sonian paper is from Lake
Charles where there are two
dailies. Both of them are de-
cldedly against Wilkinson. The
Wilkinson people have realized
their weakness there. Indeed,
it is generally admitted that they
have been able to make little or
no Roadway in the parish, which
is overwhelmingly for the St.
Mary man. BY the publication
OF daily paper to be circulated
over the parish it is hoped by
the Wilkinson people to inhu-
cnce some change of sentiment.
New Iberia enterprise and independent observer. (New Iberia, La.) 1902-1944, 1907-09-07

In relation to the matter the
Daily States had this 70 say in
its issue OF Yesterday:
Politicians recently have become
greatly interested in the elaborate
arrangements which the Wilkinson
people have been making to add to
their newspaper strength. Several
projects are on foot or have even
tuated in that direction. Especial
interest attaches to the matter be-
cause of the attempt that Mr.. Will
kinson made early in the campaign
to inject the purchase of the
Shreveport Times as an issue.
1t will be recalled that while the
Times was on the market friends
of Mr.. Wilkinson at Shreveport
negotiated for the property If
they had been successful Mr.. San.
ders would have been entirely shut
out Of newspaper representation in
Shreveport, the Caucasian and the
Journal both being anti-Sanders.
While these negotiations were
hanging fire gentlemen in New Or
leans and Shreveport, who hap
pened to be friendly to Mr.. San
ders investigated the Times aud
discovering it to be money max
ing proposition stepped in and pur.
chased. 1t is said that the fiuan-
cial results of their investment
have more than exceeded their ex-
pectatious. Mr.. Wilkinson raised
a great storm over the deal but
his charges connecting Mr.. San
ders with the purchase of the paper
failed OF substantation and his
own campaign was injured by the
reaction.
Since then all the purchases OF
projects for new ones have been on
the part of Mr.. Wilkinson's
friends.
Some time ago if was stated that
Mrs. Leake, who owns the Record
at jackson, the True Democrat, at
st. Francisville, and the paper at
Slaughter, was figuring on the es-
adjustment OF a daily paper
at Baton Rouge. The Record
and True Democrat are two of
the bitterest Wilkinson papers
in the State aud it was understood |
the new paper if established would |
also support the candidacy of the
man.
A few days ago it was announced |
that Mr.. Fouruet Of st. Martin, a
friend of Mr.. Wilkinson, had pur.
chased controlling interest in the
Lafayette Democrat and would
,onvert that journal into a strong
paper. He has since
lone so.
The Wilkinson people have
practically completed their plans

THE COST OF PHILIPPINES ISLAND

Washington, Sept. Sit has
cost the United States approx
mateIy $4oo,ooo,ooo to acquire
and hold the Philippine Islands.
That conclusion is fairly war
ranted by data presented here
with, and the Herald has raised
the pertinent question whether
the game is worth the candle.
But when figures soar into hun
dreds of millions the average
intelligence fails to grasp their
significance except through pro-
cess of comparison. To give
any adequate conception of the
meaning OF so vast sum one
must note what might have been
accomplished by the expendl-
ture of s4oo,o 900 if that
river OF wealth had been de
hected into various other chan
neIs of human endeavor instead
of having been emptied into the
Philippine Archipelago.
If it had been diverted to
purposes of national defense,
for instance, s4Oo,ooO,ooo
would have sufflced to build
forty five 2o,ooo-ton battle
ships of the most powerful
modern type represented by the
Delaware, and thus to have
given the United States the
most powerful navy in the
world. Or it would be sufficient
to pay for nearly thirty such
battIeships and still leave a
balance large enough TO defray
the estimated cost of the Pan
anna Canal. The same sum
would pay for about $50 battle
ships of the type of the Oregon
or the Indiana, which were con
sidered formidable decade ago.
Estimating on the basis of the
most recent congressional appro-
prlations, 100000 900 would
suffice for the maintenance of
out present naval establishment
for four years, the appropria-
tons for the present year having
been only slightly in excess of
500, 900, 900. 1t would sus-
tain the United States Army,
estimated upon the same basis,
more than five years.
Expended upon coast defense
Notifications it would have made |
our Atlantic and Pacific sea-
boards practically impregnable
to attack 1t would pay the
Federal appropriation for the
of the militia of all
the States in the States in the
| Union and Hawaii into the bar |
gain for a period of 200 years,
if that annual appropriation
should not exceed the 50, ooo,-
900 voted tor 1907; or it would |
defray the Governments enor
nous pension fund for nearly !
three years.
Should that vast sum OF
$500, ooo,o 900 be devoted to less
purposes it would main
tain for two whole years the en-
tire public school system of the
twelve States in the Union which
approximate the largest sums tor
thato purpose, namely, New
York, Pennsylvania, Illinois,
Massachusetts,, Ohio, New er-
'ey, Indiana, lowo, Michigan,
Minnesota, Missouri and Cali
'ornia. Devoted to purposes of
higher education it would richly
.ndow a score OF first class uni
1ersitles.
Estimating the cost of build
ng and furnishing comfortable
modern dwelling house at S.
300, it would erect 10000 such
homes, or enough to house the
population of a large city.
