Letten, late chief clerk of the state
tax office, New Orleans division, who

bank of the Mississippi river by
James Manghain, of the tax office,

When Letten was taken into custody
by the poFice shortly after, he was
sitting under an umbrella reading an
account of his big theft in the morn

very hot, and he read while trying to
summon courage to drown himself.
At police headquarters Letten told
a strange story of association with ne
groes, and said he spent the greater
part of the stolen money on woman
who lives in a handsomely furnished
house in the French quarter, and who
he said bought quantities of real es-

Letten declared the greater part of
the money was so invested, compar-
atively small amount being devoted to
her living expenses and keeping up
the house.

Another tilt, and an interesting
one, occurred last night between the
prohibitionists and ants at the special
meeting of the Board of County Com
missioners, which was held for the
purpose OF receiving the registration
books from Registration Officer Scott
and striking therefrom the names OF
persons known to nave removed or
to be dead. The tilt occurred when
President Mcmillan Of the Prohibition
League submitted a list of FIVE or
six hundred names, and requested
that they be stricken from the list.
Fred Schad, for the ants, objected,
stating that the list contained the
names of some who were neither
dead nor removed, but were qualified
voters of the city. After nearly two
hours discussion, and hearing legal
opinions, the Mcmillan list was ac-
0epted, the commissioners deciding to
strike off all the names submitted,
excepting those whom they knew to
be alive and in the city.
When the commissioners convened,
there were present Chairman Merritt,
presiding, and Commissioners Clop-
ton, Roberts and Steward. Commits
sioner Davis being absent. There
were also present President Mcmillan
of the Prohibition League, Fred
Schad of the liquor dealers, and a
number Of other parties.

against them and their interests.
The consumer is entirely dependent
upon the producer, then why can't
the producer get fair and legitimate
price for his crops and an honest and
lawful compensation for his labor? 1t
is because the consumer with unlim-
tied capital seeks to mOnOpOlize his
crop, keep the prices down and crush
him. One Of the most important du-
ties of the farmer is casting his ballot;
before his ticket carries the name Of
the candidate in the box he should
have every reason to believe that
that candidate is his friend. Ar
tificial means can be used to lower
the prospect of the farmer and he
should elect men that will stand be-
tween him and all enemies to his
interests.

Ebert Hubbard a while after the
presidential election in which Mr.. Wat
son was defeated made the statement
that the Debated candidate was one
of the greatest men of the age and in
time to come his statue will have a
prominent place in the great cities
of our country. God grant it. But
the people should show their appre-
citation while he lives, while his eyes
can see and his ears can hear.
The Farmers Union should congrat-
ulate themselves in securing such a
man to help advance their cause. He
is doing his best to show them the
way from bondage to liberty. Every
working man whether in the field or
shop or store should take his maga-
zine and learn that he is their true
defender.
With such a leader the Farmers IN
ion should grow and be cemented in
one purpose to better their condition
and obtain their rights that justly
are theirs.
