WHAT IS A POLITICIAN?

The Thibodaux Sentinel furnishes a
number of leading thoughts on the sub
ject of politicians and politicians.
Hear what it said:
Nowadays we hear much talk on all
sides about politicians, and it is usually
of an uncomplimentary nature.
Now the word politician has various
meanings, one definition being one
skilled in politics; skilled in political
science or administration statesman
In this sense of the term, it were well
for the country if every American were
something of politician
But the people have grown wise in
this day and generation and they know
the two kinds of politicians-the politi-
clan that is in and the politician that is
out, and when the latter begins denounc-
ing the former, they quietly survey him
and look over his credentials to see if
he will be an improvement upon his
brother. If not, they as quietly turn him
down, and take no chances BY retaining
the tried in
And that is right. Baton Rouge
State.
: 1t is not surprising that with some ex~
ceptions the application of politicians is
of an uncomplimentary nature. The
people, however, are accountable for the
conditions which are discreditable to the
politicians or individuals holding or
seeking an Office through the sacrifice of
friends and principles and the debauch-
cry of the electorate. What is needed in
Louisiana today are men of worth,
broad guaged men, honest men who will
not make trade and traffic of politics,
men who will devote their attention and
their energy to the welfare of the State
and not to self-aggrandizement by tricks
and schemeswhich can not bear the test
of honest scrutiny

abandoned when it was discovered
that nothing else in re room was
burned-not even the table on which
the woman was found When her hus
band arrived home he found the doors
weer all locked, all lights in the house
were out and he was compelled to
climb through the cellar window.
Whether the woman met with foul
