Warmoth and Estopinal.

As expected, Gen. EstopinaI, Demo
cratic nominee for congress in ths
first district. seeks to Offset the damag
log exposure of his own record as &
political changeling and inveterate
feeder at the public crib by revam ).
ing the reconstruction history of his
Republican opponent, ex Governor
H. G. Warmoth.
The people of the first district and
of Louisiana at large are not ma
terially interested IN the admitted fact
that EstopjaaI and Warmoth were
both Republicans and gfficehoIders =in
reconstruction days. This is ancient
history and is notques toned or denied
by anybody but Estopinal If the is
sue was to be made on this basis, how
ever, W armoth would have the advan-
tage, because he did all in his power TO
put an end to stearpetbap govern
mentn in this state ia 1872, whereas
Estopinal trained with the Republicans
for several Years afterwards.
What the people of the first district
and the state are most concerned IN is
the relative ability of the opposing
candidates to represent them to the
best advantage in the congress of the
United States. and We do not believe
there can be any sincere difference Of
opinion on this question among intel,
ligent citizens acquainted with the two
candidates. Gov. Warmotk is head
and shoulders above his competitor in
every characteristic, acquiremert and
talent calculated TO make an active,
efficient and Influential congressman.
and nothing but the rankest prejudice
and most unreasoning parts ansflip
can lead to his defeat next Tuesd az by
the voters of his district.

Where is Our Southern Manhood ?


It is common thing TO hear upor
the streets and in public and pri
vate conversations in the city of New
Orleans every day expressions o.
opinion from men ofprominence incom.
mercial, financial and political circles
Indicating the fervent hope that the
Republican ticket will be successful al
/ the approaching national election.
But the shame and pity OF it is that
these expressions are too often &C
companied by the homogeneous decla.
ration that the big and apparently
manly men who make them are going
to vote the Democratic ticket.
In New Orleans barber shop 8 few
days ago we'll known citizen re-
marked to a Republican friend, We
got to vote Tor Bryan, but I'd hate
like hell to see him elected. =
Another citizen, equally we'll known,
commented approvingly on the APP
pearance of Taft button on neigh
boris lapel, but when offered a simi
lar button and invited to wear it, re-.
piled, '.No, I can't afford to do that.
but I won't be sorry to see your man
win. y
One of the foremost lawyers and
Democrats of the city and state de-
clared upon his return from an ex-
tsnsive tour of the west, TT makes me
sick to see our newspapers down here
trying to make the people believe that
Bryan stands any show of election. .
During the luncheon hour at one OF
the leading social clubs of the city
about two weeks ago, q discussion OF
political indications led to the taking
of straw vote among the parsiei-
pants, only one of whom was an
avowed Republican. The result was
that seventeen said they favored Taft,
one announced himself for Bryan, and
one hadn't made up his mind which oil
the two candidates he would vote fer.
Il is common knowledge among their
lhsimates tha6 some OF the dig and lit
tie Democratic bosses of New Orleans
are lar from being Bryan men q

make showing of Loyalty to their
party ticket, not few will more or

Wisdom from Experience.

/
The New Orleans States. which is
Democratic al all times and under all
circumstances. right or wrong, sink
or swim, survive or perish. is making
desperate effort to convince the su-
gar and rice producers of Louisiana
that they have more to fear from con-
tinued Republican national as
tendency than from the advent Of
free-trade Democracy to power. The
basis of the diaphanous and futile ar
gument upon which the thick and thin
organ of ring Democracy seeks to
maintain its preposterous proposition,
is the expression by Judge TAFT, Re-
publican candidate for president, of
his we'll known views in favor OF
placing the people Of the Philippine
Islands upon a parity with those Of
Hawaii and Porto Rico to the extent
of permitting the sugar and tobacco Of
the Philippines to come into the United
States duty free.
Although the States end IFS Demo-
cratic kith aud kin have all along
ridiculed ard reviled domestic sugar,
rice and lumber people for going over
to the Republican party in search
of friendship and projection Of the in
teresbs upon which their welfare, pros
perity and support depend, tie self
same organs openly advocate and JUS
tify countermalch by the dissenters
for no better reason than the indi-
Vidual views on a subsidiary question
of a presidential candidate who is in
hearty accord with the prineiple OF his
party that American industries should
be fostered and protected by tariff
imposts upon competitive oretgn i'm
ports.
There is no teacher more effective
than experience and an ounce of knows
edge acquired from this source is supe
rior tofa pound of sophistry and theory
The Louisiana sugar, rice and hunter
producers know What happened To
them under the application ct the Dem
ocratic policies of Tariff for revenue
only and sshoriz5ntal redacbionn as
applied during the Cleveland admins
tration, and they know that even
worse must he expected under the alb
solute free, trade policy openly pro
claimed by Brg an. They also know
that their industries have received
fair and friendly treatment at the
hands of the Republican party and
must rely upon the contiBhaqc OF
such treatment, not only for prosper
ity. but for absolute existence.
All the political chop logic that can
be devised ought to be impotent,
against the wisdom gained from ex-
perienee,

Judge Taft and the Soufa.

Although urged by many of the most
influential members of his party to
confine his campaigning to the north
ern states, by whose electoral votes
only can he expedite be elected, the
Republican candidate for the presi-
dency OF the nation has insisted upon
visiting the south for the reasons thus
stated in an address before the Taft
and Sherman club of Fort Thomas,
KY, Saturday before last:
II am going south to make few
speeches-one in Kentucky, one il
Worth Carolina, one in Virginia and
one in Maryland-not so much with a
view of carrying those states as to
show the people down there that, no
matter what they think, they are a
part OF the Union, and. being a part
of the Union, they ought to vote for
the Republican party, which will make
them a part OF the nation and give
them that influence which people OF
their energy and progress and enter
prise ought to enjoy.
There is not the slightest doubt
that the south has lost much of the in
fluence that it ought to exert in the
governments of the United State sthrough
the certainty that our northern Demo-
cratic friends have always had in the
| allegiance of the south to the Demo-
cratic party, no matter what the issues
of the campaign. There are good peo-
pie in the south, and there are reasons
accommodating every year in the enor-
nous material expansion that they
have made, in the dependence that they
have on our system of protection,
which is Republican doctrine, why
they should support the Republican
ticket rather than the Democratic
ticket; and | believe in the last presi-
Dental election and in side elections
there has been a gradual breaking
| away. It may be that this is not the
time for the complete revolution to
take place, but thai it is coming I am
as confident as I am of anything in
the future, and it would CRAFTY me
very much ii it could come in the cam
paign for which am more or less re-
sponsible, and therefore in which I
have an interest"
Candid southerners, Democrats and
otherwise, must acknowledge the can

prompts his utterances. 1t is appar-
ent that if he is elected president-of
which there is at least sufficient pro-
liability to warrant his supporters ia
regarding it virtually assured-bis
administration will not be less cordial
10 its attitude toward the southern d.
vision OF the Union than that of Presi-
dent Roosevelt has been.
Why, therefore, should not intelli-
gent and thinking southern voters
who know in their hearts aud by the
te achings of experience that Republi-
can policies are best for their well
fare-meet the advances of this friendly
candidate halfway and reeiproeate
his confidence and good will by giving
him their SURFACES?

The Sugar Industry Defended.

It was natural TO ex pect tn at genera al
surprise and Indignation would be
manifested among the sugar producers
OF Louisiana and the many thousands
OF people dependent upon the exist
ence and prosperity of that industry
because of the seemingly wanton and
assuredly ill.founded assault to which
these people and their me ans Of live
lihood have been subjected at the
hands OF the leading and most repre-
sentative Democratic newspaper in the
state.
The Cane Growers Association of
Louisiana took notice of the attack
recently, making a reply from tht
standpoint of that organization which
demonstrated the injustice Oft news

fected the growers of cane as contra
distinguished from the manufacturers
OF sugar, and last weekSthe Louisiana
Sugar Planters Association, an or
ganization representing cane growers
sugar manufacturers and the various
commercial and financial interests
connected with the sugar Industry,
adopted the following resolutions:
The Louisiana Sugar Planters Association
representing as it does the sugar industry OF the
state, feel compelled to resent the editorial of
the Daily States, dated Saturday. Sept Is, en-
tltled democracy and Sugar This Association

dIscuss politics, butsWe have the right and must
take issue with home paper that says prac-
t1calIy that our industry is not worth to the
state what it COSTS,
1t is not a fact that the majority of plantations
are incorporated, and the few that are generally
represent families who have for many good rea
sons taken advantage of the limited liability
law.
It has been estimated that nearly one-haIf of
the population OF our state are directly or in
directly vitality interested in this great Industry
which employs over one hundred millions Of !
capital and brings an annual revenue from sugar
and molasses of twenty to twenty five million /
