A BRIGHT Cartoon.

Cartoonist Trist of the New Orleans
Times Democrats yields a trenchant
pencil and puts many fine and funny
ideas on paper in pictorial form
One of his brightest and best was
printed week before last. It was cap
toned, "The Siege of Vicksburg.
The town goes down before one big
gun" The gun was planted on the
Louisiana bank of the Mississippi
river, pointed towards Vicksburg
and the breech bore the specialized face
of Roosevelt. White flags were dis
played from the beleaguered hill city
with the legends 1--WE surrender, -
1--WE are yours and ip the distance
lone horseman was hiking north
ward as fast as his steed could carr,
him, and the rider was exclaiming,
HVardaman never surrenderst'' A
column OF words could not have por-
trayed the subject more effectually
than Mr.. Trist's clever pictures

"CoI. f. p. Stubs of Monroe,
leading Democrat and sound logiclan,
in an open letter to the people OF
Louisiana, published Tuesday, urges
the necessity of an extra session OF the
legislature to submit constitutional
amendment to the voters of Louisiana
providing for a reduction in the fees
and salaries paid sheriffs and tax col
lectors, and TO submit other amend
ments demanded by the electorate at
this time.
"Col. Stubbs argues, and properly
so, that if this matter is delayed until
the regular session of the general as
sembly in May ne xt, the officials will
have been elected and the needed re-
forms delayed for four years, if not for
ever. Almost all candidates through
out the state are agreed that reforms
are needed along many lines, and to
L
delay them four years will be an
imposition. The people demand that
sheriffs and tax collectors be placed
upon salary basis, and that the ex-

curtailed. Others are of the opinion

on the salary list, while the demand If
