TWO IMPORTANT OFFICES


alfalfa Bill' Murray may slip 4
cog occasionally, but he showed some
good, plain horse sense in the follow
ing:
III want to warn all these new coun-
ties against careless investigation Of
candidates for county Judge and coun7
ty commissioner. If you have two
men in your county fit for public Of
flee, one you know to be competent
and honest and you have doubts as to
ability and integrity Of the other and
have but two offices to fill, send that
one TO congress and elect the other
county commissioner, because the COM
missioner can do you more harm or
more god directly than all the cong
ressmen that will be elected in the
new state. Be sure you elect honest
competent men as your county COM
znissioners and an honest and COM
petent lawyer as your county judge.
Nearly all the foolish expenditure of
money and high Indebtedness incurred
by county authorities grows out Of
the fact Of the dishonesty Of the com
missioners on their weakness in busi-
ness affairs and dominated by a dis
honest Judge Of ability
Now, Of course, Mr. Murray didn't
znean that we we're to send inferior
men to congress; he simply wanted to
emphasize the Importance Of electing
honest, capable men Al county judges
and county commissioners.
Or the two positions, there is more
danger that too little scrutiny will
be given to the candidate for commiss-
ioner than for county Judge and yet
the commissioners deal with matters
that touch the pocketbooks Of the peo-
pie the more directlv The commiss-
ioners stsnd in the same relation tc
the county in respect to financial mat
ters, that the council sustains to the
city. If due care is given to their Sc
lection, the money that is derived by
taxation will be economically and iud.
iciously expended; if not, it will BE-
squandered.
In the new counties Of Oklahoma
the commissioners will have a vast a
mount Of important work to do and i
is work that should be done well
There will be no plethoric treasur!
from which to draw funds and rigid e
conomy will be necessary to make end
meet and avoid running up taxes to al
unbearable point. A, the same tim
we want men Of enough business sa
gacity to know that parsimony is no
economy and who will conduct Iii
cCunty's affairs in the progressiv
msnnoF dictated BY good bushes
methods.

A COSMOPOLITAN WOMAN.

She went around and asked subscrip
tions
For the heather black Egyptians,
And the Terro del Fuegians,
She did;
For the tribes around Athabasca,
And the men Of Madagascar,
And the poor souls Of Alaska,
So she did.
She longed, she said, to buy
Jelly cake and jam and pie
For the anthropophagi,
SO she did.
Her heart ached for the Australians
And the Observation-Disclosures
And the poor dear Amahagger,
Yes, it did;
And she loved the black Numidian,
And the ebon abyssinian,
And the charcoal-colored Guinean,
Oh. she did.
And she said she'd cross the seas
With ship Of bread and cheese
For those starving chimpanzees,
Sure, she did.
How she loved the cold Norwegian
And the poor half-melted Feejean,
And the dear Melucca Islander,
She did;
She sent pie and canned tomato
To the tribes beyond the equator
But her husband at potato,
50 he did;
The poor helpless, homeless thing
tMy voice falters as I sing)
Tied his clothes up with a string,
Yes, he did.

The verdict rendered at Hahn
Vile in the case of the Italians last
week, has raised a storm OF indig-
nation through out the State, and
was pronounced an outrage, a mis-
carriage of justice, etc. 1t seems
that the desire of every one was to
hang the accused and the jury was
to render a verdict according to
public opinion. We believe all
the abuse heaped upon this jury
supposed to be composed of twelve
good men of that parish is wrong,
if they were good honest citizens,
if they are not good and honest
men of that parish the District
Attorney is to blame for allowing
whole jury, without one excep-
ton to be so composed in such
an important case. This was
trial by jury, and We must sup
pose that the twelve men did their
duty according to their conscience.
What the people wanted in this
case was a trial of public opinion,
and death by hanging was the
penalty that WAS expected and had
not the Governor and the authori-
ties took the proper precautions
and order out the troops to pro-
tect the prisoners, it is possible
that the popular will would have
disregarded the verdict Of the
jury and lynched the prisoners.
The crime was a horrible one and
deserved the sevorest punishment,
but we must believe that the jury
had some reason for their quail
fled verdict.

Saloon Keepers Fined.
\. |. ENTERPRISE.

n. L. Enterprise.
There was quite an interesting
incident in the Court yesterday
evening just as the closing hour
came. Mr.. Jules Landry who had
pleaded guilty to charge of keep
ing open on Sunday came before
Court for sentence and Judge ST.
mon after stating that he had an
nounced that for first offenses the
fine would be S25 with heavier
fines for second and third otfeDses,
imposed fine Of S25 on the de-
PENDANT.
The Court room was Just being
cleared of the large crowd that
had been present to hear the Sea-
ly trial but there were still many
present who stayed to listen to
the sentence.
Hardly had the sentence been
passed when MIR. L. b. Delahous-
save stepped forward and asked
permission to say word. Mr..
Delahoussaye then protested 10
the Court at the injustice that was
being done to the other saloon
keepers in thus allowing MIR. Ian
dry to escape. He said that it
WAS well known that the law had
been frequently broken by the de-
PENDANT and that it was unjust to
, allow him to escape with SO small
a fine when all the other saloon
keepers had obeyed the law.
Judge Simon told Mr.. Delahous
save that il Mr.. Landry had bro
ken the laws more than once the
proper place to make the charge
was before the Grand Jury.
Mr.. Delahoussaye insisted that
it was the duty of the Court or
some of the officers of the law to
attend to the matter. He had
Obeyed the law and here was one
who had broken it and had esca-
ped with a little fine.
Judge Simon said that Jules
Landry had not come before the
Court before and this was the first
offense so far as the record show
ed.
Mr.. Delahoussaye said it was
well known that this was not the
first offense, although it might ap-
pear SO from the records. He said
he had so Informed the Court and
it was an injustice to him and the
other saloon keepers. He said
that if this was to be the outcome
he would open his saloon.
Judge Simon said that was bis
own lookout. Ii he broke the law
he should Lave to take the conse-
quences.

The general impression seems
to be that the cause of the quail

in the case of the Italian murder

friends of the murderers, large
number of whom are said to re-
side in that parish.
