SANDERS WRITING LETTERS.

Lieutenant Governor ]. Y. Sanders,
the would-be-next governor of Louis
lana, is writing letters. In the Leader
there appears an article written by the
gentleman reaching out for the guber-
Material seat and at the request of the
Ruston Progressive League. The gen.
tleman from ST. Mary has an eye to flu
ture eventualities. Quoting from the
Leader: The Governor speaks of Rus
ton and its citizens in the very highest
terms, and in such language that the
reading Of il will fill them with sense
OF pride"
What Sanders has said of Ruston is
known to all well informed citizens of
the State. No better type of progress
i've, up-to-date people can be found in
the United States. Sanders effort on
kuston from an indirect political view
may not be in vain. However, the
would-be-next governor of Louisiana
should write sparingly. The incident
"burn that letter" applied to one of the
greatest Of Republican leaders should
ever be warning to politicians.

WHITE LABOR PLAN.

Labor on Louisiana Plantations

contemriates Doing Away With Negro
Labor on Louisiana Plantations
Baton Rouge, March IA plan
which contemplates the supplanting of
negro plantation laborsrs of Louisiana
with imported white immigrants from
Europe has been announced by Charles
Schiller. state commissioner Of immi-
grafton and agriculture. This plan is
the 0htgrowth of both the immigration
station authorized for New Orleans by
congress and the fact that labor Is
scarce. The state proposes to enable
the Louisiana planter to engage immi
grant labor In advance and with q
liked wage without violating the con-
tract labor law. By July Is next every
planter desiring such labor Is to de-
posit $50 for every family he wishes,
this sum to be guarantee that he
will repay the state for Its expenses in
bringing over immigrants. The state
commissioner will then engage In Eu.
rope the required number of immi.
grants and the state viii pay their way
to this country.

PROF. JAMES B. AsWEu-

Practical educators throughout this
State will regret to part with Prof. ]
B. Aswell, who in July next will relin-
quish his Office as State Superintendent
of Public Education to accept more
lucrative position as the head of the
University of Mississippi, located at Ok
ford.
The friends of Prof Aswel lament
the fact that the salary of the State SUI
perintendent of Public Education is
fxed at only $4,000, which is contrasted
with the princely fees of sheriffs and
State officials, as reflection on the
State.
1t may be true that the salary of
$4,000 Is inadequate as compensation
for the service of man possessed of
the attainments of Prof. Aswell, but il
is nevertheless a fact, which can not be
controverted, that when Prof Aswell
announced his candidacy for the Office
he is now occupying, he knew full well
that the salary was $4,000 per annum
Had he not desired this Office at the sal
airy fixed and which through some all
powerful influence he controlled excu-
sively, there were other educators in the
State who would gladly have filled the
Office. 1t is equally true that Prof AS
well as the head of the public school
system has suggested and devised val
liable improvements. but there may be
some citizens of Louisiana who may
entertain the opinion that Prof. Aswell
should continue to fill the office for the
term for which he was nominated and
elected without opposition. However,
every citizens has right to his views
and his opinion, as we'll as Prof
Aswell to accept position more lucra-
tive but not more distinguished nor
more important than that of State SUI
perintendent of Public Education OF
Louisiana. 1t is equally true that talent
Is in demand Everywhere, especially in
school work, and the salaries of teach
ers should be equal to the capacity of the
teacher, but no official, regardless of his
state. has a right of complaint when
he deliberately accepts position at a
salary fixed by law.

DR.. Charles G.. Wagner of Bingham
ton, who has been under cross-exami
nation since Monday afternoon, was
again called to stand, and District At
torney Jerome began to ply him with
questions regarding Thaw's will anC
eedfc1l. Dr. Wagner said he believed
that when Thaw wrote the section OF
his will providing for fund for the
prosecution of anyone who might take
his life his mind was clouded and he
did not have clear idea of such mat
ter as man who was wholly sane, but
enough to be able to appreciate that
taking Of human life was a crime.
Doctor, when this defendant stood
up to be married on the same day
that the will was signed, did he know
what he was doing?" asked Mr.. .Je.

Il don't think his mind was entirely
clear"
Was it clear enough for him to
understand he was getting married?
Yes, he understood it."

fellow Mr. Jerome suddenly asked:
Was there any period, doctor, be
tween 1903 and 1905 when this defend.
ant was in full possession of his fac
ulties?"
DIR. Wagner here reflected a moment
and replied: There are several
months In that period of which [ have
no record. ] suppose there may have
been recovery during that time and a
condition of soundness."
DIR. Wagner was asked by Mr.. Je.
rome If he could say from the descrip.
ton OF the killing of Stanford White If
Thaw was insane or simply intoxicat.

was nothing whatever to indicate In
toxication. but much to indicate insan.
