THE REAL ISSUE.

The Caucasian, along with the aver
age, well balanced citizen, had hoped
that the miserable stuff, which, as Josh
Billings would say, ..pervades' the San
ders press columns about slandering
Sanders, had about" run its course, but
It seems not, for quite recently, and after
a pause, the organs OF the Syndicate
have burst forth with renewed and more
spiteful vigor.
An analysis of the cause for the con-
tinued harping on the "slandering" Of
the organs candidate reveals the fact
that some Overwhelming argument" in
favor of the St. Mary man has been
knocked sky high, or that Mr.. Wilkin-
son or his friends have suggested that
certain failures of Mr.. Sanders to serve
faithfully the public, as should public
officer mindful of his duty, have re-
NAMED unexplained.
Mr.. Sanders is not divinely anointed.
No sacredness surrounds his person
So far as The Caucasian is concerned
our objections to Mr. Sanders have
been specific and couched in decent Eng
lish. Not one act alone of his, but many
are open to fair objection, and they are
acts which concern him and his relations
to the public. Neither is Mr.. Sanders
any more the Democratic party than is
its humblest member, and he is entitled
to, and will be accorded, the same treat
ment, no more, no less.
Mr.. Sanders personally may be
saint. That is beside the question. He
IS candidate for the highest office with
IN the gift of our people, and the matter
OF his fitness for that position is a
legitimate and fair theme for discussion.
Now The Caucasian asserts that Mr.
Sanders is the political product of an
era Of political chicanery in Louisiana,
extending from the overthrow of the
lottery down to Gen. Jastremski' revolt
for primary election, which has no
defense and deserves none.
Of course the gentlenan's organs will
yelp that We are .slandering the Demo-
cratic party But, fortunately, the
party isn't the gentleman, nor are his
organs its exponents.

msfy election il the conduct Of affairs is

Demand For Increase of Pay
Not CompIicd With.

Galveston, Sept. l2-Between 900
and 700 members Of the Southern Pa
cific Dock workers union. in special
session, adjourned after almost unan-
imously declaring that they will refuse
to work at the Southern Pacific docks

would be 50 and 80 cents per hour
instead of 50 and 40 cents per hour,
as has beer paid.
When the contract was presented to
Suderman e BOlson they announced
that they would not meet the demand

grant the raise The contract submit
ted contains minor matters, which diff
fer from the contract of last year, but
the increase of wages is the principal

He also looked upon $3.50 that the
well-preserved Mrs. Bonner had saved
for a rainy day. 1t rained Friday
On that day Michael Chicorsky went
home early from work to the Bonner
home, where he had been a boarder
since he became the finance of its
mistress. 1t may have been a cOinci-
dence that Mrs. Bonner was out or
Michael may have been a shrewd, if
not fond, observer of her habits
Be that as it may Mrs. Donner's
grandson discovered him rummaging
through the trunk in which the $18C
and the Bonner watch were hidden
Before the youngster could raise the
alarm Chicorsky and the valuables
had gone away from there
There was excitement in the neigh
borhood. until Mrs Bonner arrived
home. Then frenzy. clamor and tu
mutt were added. Murder would have
been included had the light-hearted

The police are searching for him, but
their search is leaden beside the avid
hunt of Mrs. Bonner.
