WHY BRYAN IS STRONG
A View of the Democratic Leader by
the Springfield (Mass.) Republican,

When so-called Democrats of the type
|of Watterson and others who aided and
abettcd in the triumph of Republicans
never permit an opportunity to escape
them without villifying Mr.. Bryan, it is
encouraging to note the views of men
who are governed by reasonable argu
ments and conclusions. Commenting on
the fraud and plundering which have
been brought to light by the nvestiga-
tons of the New York traction COM
panies, and the disclosure of the fact
that the methods of the great captains
of industry" are the methods of the
common thief, the Springfield (Mass.)
Republican says:
1T is this sentiment that gives to the
President his power, so battling and even
mysterious to the syndicated wealth OF
the land. So long as investigation fol-
lows investigation, each new one Con-
hrming essentially the truth extracted by
the one preceding, the great mass of the
people will sustain with all their might
an executive who defes and even harries
the interests which have thus plundered
the garden of Americas richest proS
perity. 1t is this fixed feeling of popular
sentiment, kept raw by the endless ex
posures of wrong doing that continues
to make the Roosevelt anti-corporation
policies invincible. And here may be dis
cerned the main political significance of
the huge traction scandal in New York"
And, it is well to remark, that it was
William ]. Bryan who in 1896 seeing the
magnificent system of thievery which
has been established in 'the garden of
America 5 richest prosperity denounced
it and arrayed himself against it. For
doing this that element of the Democ-
racy which shared in the spoils of the
system deserted to the Republican camp,
and he was denounced far and wide as
an anarchist, socialist and even as an
enemy of the Republic .
Today the men who have been his
foremost opponents and who posed in
two campaigns as champions of the ma
tional honor stand before the country
as unmasked thieves, whose morals and
methods are on par with those of a
sneak thief Or a footpad Yet there are
people foolish enough to wonder why
Bryan is strong, and who are apparently
unable to understand that his strength
with the masses of the people is vastly
increased with every disclosure of the

fee of Clerk of the District Court of
Caddo Parish.

Hon +. A. Leonard is announced as
a candidate for reelection to the office

In the clerks office Mr.. Leonard has
been the central figure for years, and
without him there would be void, a
missing link, in the machinery of this

Without stint i'll measure, the friends
Of Mr.. Leonard may congratulate him
on being lone candidate, and, he is for
tunate in having no opposition, which is
recognition complimentary to his abil-
ity and his popularity.

GENERAL JASTREMSKI
An Expression by an Enthusiastic Ad-

sWer to a communication of recent date
by J. II. Webb in the News. in which he
discusses the three types Of men seen

privileged to know General Jastremski
personally and intimately, fully agree
with Mr.. Webb in the first sentence, but
vehemently take issue with him i'll that
beginning. He can not win,' etc. For
several days after reading Mr. Webs
article I have vainly tried to place him,
that is. to find out where he stands and
just what he means and represents. Is
he the advance agent in North Louisiana
of the political band wagon? Or is he re-
peating the cry originating in the camps

THE GRAND JURY'S REPORT

The finding of 9S true bills by the
granl jury indicates that crime is on the
increase. OF the number examined. 2o2
cases. 50 were ignored and 2I continued
| for further evidence, and these are not
given publicity.
An unusual interest has been aroused
in the case of George Hanson, murdered
deliberately and cowarlly. some time
during Wednesday night, October 3 OF
the crimes of murder in Caddo parish
none have been more heinous.
TO think that young man should
have been stricken down on the thresf-
old of his usefulness, murdered for a
prostitute, .waylaid and then slaughtered
as if he were rattlesnake. without hav-
ing been given an opportunity for de-
fense, is sufficient to stir into blaze of
resentment all the revengefu1 feeling of
his friends and OF every good citizen.
The 6end who has been guilty of this
murder should not be tolerated in a civ
ilized community. Such a being is more
dangerous than the most ferocious Of
wild beasts thrirsting for blood. With
such an individual i'll a civilized COM
munty it is not possible to foretel who
is safe OF who may be his next victim
Whatever may have been the reason
of the grand jury for not reporting on
the cases continued, is a question The
Caucasian will not attempt to solve. 1t
must be evident, however, to the con-
servative and law abiding element that
less sentiment and more justice is inn
perative if life and property have any
value whatever.
The murderer of George Hanson
would not hesitate to apply the torch, OF
to use dynamite in executing his resent
ment if he could not reach his intended
victim with the sand bag or some silent
yet deadly weapon.
Such being i'll a civilized community
is always menace to peace and order,
a menace to life and property.
At any rate, it is sufficient to say that
the cases continued for further inves
tigator will not escape the vigilance of
District Attorney Foster, the able and
fearless representative of law and order
in this section of the State.

THE GRAND JURY
Ninety-Eight True Bills Reported and
EightyThree Ignored.

At the sitting of the District Court
Monday afternoon the grand jury sub
mltted its report as follows:
Shreveport. La. Oct oI. 1907.
To the Honorable T.. F. /: 4, Judge of
the First District Court, G % Parish
La: We, your grand Jury. beg leave to
make the following report We have ex-
amined 2o2 cases, found % true bills,
ignored S3 cases, and continued for fur
ther evidence Fl cases.
We have been in continued session for
more than two weeks and have investi-
gated cases of almost every description.
We are glad to note, however, that the
Sunday law in Shreveport is being gen
orally observed.
We will also report to the court that
the habit of carrying weapons concealed,
especially pistols, on the person, seems
to be i'll as full vigor as we understand
has been the case heretofore. The carry
ing of these weapons is largely confined
to the colorei population of the parish.
We have examined the Jail and find
same i'll clean and sanitary condition
and the prisoners we'll cared for.
We desire to thank the officers of the
court for their courteous attention dur
ing the session. Respectfully submitted,

Of the opposition? From the very mo-
ment General Jastremslli entered this
race, seeking the endorsement of the
people of Louisiana. this cry has veXcd
the political winds. He can not win Is
| 1t not, in fact, the cry of the alarmed?
| If General Jastremski be really as weak
as the opposition would have us believe
would this TN Just AMI unfair howl, have
Louisiana? Rather is it not a true line
upon and an indication of his strength
Is it reasonable TO believe that hi, enc
mics would raise such racket over the
body of the political corpse? To them

/ speak) that the general is very much
alive and is factor to be reckoned with
III this three-cornered fight They know
it. they feel it, their only object being to
misleai and deceive the voter. and have
him make break to stampede him. for
the band wagon"
Who are the political enemies of Gen
eral Jastremski? Surely not the friends |
of Wilkinson who is standing dctermin
edly i'll opposition to the Bosses and to
Bossism.
Instead Of being weak candidate,
General Jastremski is growing in
strength. which, naturally, is being
drawn from the Sanders side The
friends of Wilkinson are not fighting
JastremSki but Sanders and his gang of
political leeches. There can be no i'm
provemcnt i'll the political atmosphere of
Louisiana with Sanders III control as
Governor. and therefore all good citizens
who favor a clean and honest govern
ment should center against Sanders.
If the second primary shouli be be-
tween Wilkinson and Jastrenski, the
choice of the majority will be satisfac-
tory. as the State will be in good and
safe hands whether the Governor be Jas
tremSki or Wilkinson Let the rally
and the fight be against Sanders and the
Bosses
