PHILADELPHIA, October 3.-Great Is
Covaleski, the gunner from the Tri-state
field who shot three holes through the
Giants armor in one weeks time and
who has showed McGraw and his tribe
down to third place in the National
League race If New York loses the
championship nobody can the Giants
blame more than the same Covaleski He
beat them in New York on Tuesday by
Z to 2, again sent them down in the dust
on Thursday by 6 to .. and today finish
ed up his sensational work by again
triumphing over them by 3 to 2. Three
victories from New York in one week is
going some, especially when the Giants
were going at pace which would have
beaten the majority of pitchers in either
big league And to make COvaleski' S
achievement all the greater he
easily outpitched the great Mathewson
from beginning to end.
The Giants would have been lucky to
have scored today had the outfield of
Murrays, been on their toes. A tumble
by Magee on Tenney's single to left in
the opening inning greatly aided the
Giants to their first run, while in the ninth

To the Voters

AS time will not permit me to
see everybody before the second
primary on the 18th instant,
shall use the press to refute such
untruths as come to my kIoWl-
ebge. One of the latest cam
paign lies is that my opponent
is the poor mans friend, while
/ am the candidate Of the rich.
Voters, this is only an attempt
to mislead the honest poor man.
| am more the poor mans friend
than my opponent, for | am
from that class myself. While
| am, indeed, glad that some Of
the richest men of st. Tammany
parish are supporting me, this
fact is only an index that a
change is needed. | have
pledged neither rich nor poor
any favors whatever.
If elected to the Office to
which / aspire, | will devote my
entire time and abilities to a
personal and impartial discharge
of the duties of the Office and
try to adhere to the principles
which will rebound tossthe honor
and welfare of St. Tammany
Parish.
Again thanking the voters for
their liberal support given me
in the first primary and solicit
ing the same in the coming
primary on Feb. 18th,
| am very respectfully,
D. C. WALLIS.

Abita Springs Notes.

Abita Springs, February Is, 1908
Editor st. Tammany Farmer:
The Progressive Union will Smoke
next Tuesday night. Smoker to be
given at the town hall. Election of
officers to take place also. Each
member is privileged to bring afriend.
Come and spend a pleasant evening.
Capt" Millar is enjoying himself
in New Orleans for a few days.
It rained in Abita Saturday night
and Sunday, ''for change"
The rain-on Sunday fell in streams,
Since then it's damp and soggy,
And when you walk about it seems
That every place is Doggy.
John P. Rausch, the jolly lumber
man, is still wearing that famous
smile of his, entitled: The smile that
wont come off," His only complaint
is, that he is over-rushed with bust
ness. We trust that his complaint
might become epidemic, so that others
might wear smile.
Moving Day. is being sung here
this week. The Abita Water Co. has
removed their bottling plant to the
city. The Abita water is sent to
New Orleans in tank cars. The
building which was used at Abita
has been rendered to the Town council.
Another moving feature witnessed
was that of a cottage sold by Mr..
Vaccaro to Mr.. Lacassin who had a
crew of house-movers come up from
New Orleans to move it on the vacant
lot adjoining his house on Hickory
and Main Streets.

If the Progressive Union Of
New Orleans succeeds in secur-
ing the stopover privilege for
that city, as seems probable,
New Orleans would not only be
benefited, but many excursion
lists would take the opportunity
to visit Covington and other
towns near the city. Now that
Covington has a hotel that af-
fords all conveniences and COM
forts to the traveller and the
sojourner 1--WE refer to the
Southern Hotel, there are many
northerners who once enticed
by our bracing atmosphere and
health-giving ozone would re-
turn with friends for a lengthy
stay. Either as a summer or 9
winter resort Covington offers
inducements rarely found, and
it is only necessary that these
inducements become known to
draw to our town many who
.avel further and fare worse.

Whatever else may be said of
President Roosevelt's position,
it must be admitted that he pos
sesses to a remarkable degree
the faculty of impressing upon
the people that he is earnestly
striving for the greatest good to
the greatest number, and that
his ideas are in accord with the
popular demands of the times.
With all the forces of capital
opposed to him, he has succeeded
in retaining a warm place in the
hearts Of the people and even
gaining the sympathy of the
Democrats. He has become
conspicuous, not only for the po-
ton he takes as a Republican,
but for the frmness and temeri-
ty he exhibits in carrying out
his idea Of his duty to his
country.

A SENSIBLE VIEW.

Cardinal Gibbons, in an inter-
view in New Orleans by a Plea
yune reporter, the other day,
made the following remarks in
regard to prohibition. We quote
them, because we think the
stand he takes practical and
sensible, and will probably meet
the views of a goodly number
Of the people in our own COM
munity. We believe that high
license and restrictive ordi-
nances are much more practical
and better fitted to the condi-
tons of our community than
prohibition, and would be more
productive of good results:
'The Catholic Church has always
been working for the cause of tenn
perance. 1t recognizes it as one of
the important family and social viz
tues, for intemperance brings in its
wake misery, desolation and crime.
Now as to the best means for advanc-
ing the cause of temperance would
distinguish between the city and the
country. I am persuaded that it is
practically impossible to put pro-
hibition into effect in any large COM
munity like New Orleans, and the
best means therefore to promote tenn
perance and good order, of which
temperance is the guardian angel, is
to limit the number of saloons by high
license. BY limiting and restricting
the number of saloons, the officers
OF the law can find it easier to enforce
the law and punish violations. And
also, by high license, the State will
derive revenues from the government
OF the commonwealth, and many low
grogshops and disreputable establish
ments for the sale of liquor would be
totally suppressed. Iwould be in favor
OF infiicting severe punishment on
the proprietors of saloons who violat-
ed the law in the first instance;
and in the second instance of viola
tion, | would withdraw the license
altogether.
Then, again, it would be very desir-
able that a law should be enacted for
bidding the opening Of saloons within
certain proximity to churches and
schools, so as to limit the number still
further, and at the same time pro-
tect the young and rising generation
from the temptation to strong drink.
with regard to the country places,
or parishes as you call them here, /
would suggest local option as an ex-
cellent means for the repression
of intemperance, if. in the judgement
of the majority of voters, the sale of
liquor should be entirely eliminated.
Laws like prohibition, that are
certain to be violated, had best not
be made, for incessant violation
draws down upon them disrespect. +"
