eMTATlvES.

Mr.. L. E. Thomas, of Shreve
port. has announced his candidac,
tor the speakership of the Hous,
OF Representatives of the Genera
Assembly OF Louisiana. Mr.
Thomas is we'll known throughout
Louisiana, having been Crane
Chancellor of the Knights OF Ply,
thias. Grand Master of Mason.
and for four years was the Stat.
Bank Examiner.
His position as presiding Officer
of the two largest secret orders il
the State will fit him for the posi-
ton of speaker.
Then again the only candidate
against him is Mr.. Dupree of New
Orleans. We think it is about
time We weIe getting some of the
Offices in Ncrth Louisiana. We
know of no other member OF the
General Assembly better qualified
to 6ll the position.

It is worse than nonsense,-it is
down right moral or political
cowardice. whichever it may be
termed.-to talk of deserving the
Democratic party because few
unprincipled men have debauched
the ballot boxes. The way to
cure an evil is not to turn the back
on 1t and run away. but to face and
throttle it. lfthis was the common
practice in life for the evils that
assail the human family and So
ciety. then civilization would be
dethroned and Christianity BAN
ished by hurricane of wrong and
wickedness. Republican is no
panacea for the ills to which De.
mocracy is heir. The very best
way to rectify wrong is to begin
at home and throttle it where it
is given birth. The second better
thought of the people will con-
vince them that the cure must be
applied to the seat of the disease
and not by attempting the expert
ment of taking some other subject
on which to make a test. Rebuke
the outrage by overwhelming the
perpetrators in the flimsy castle
they have erected for shelter.
That is the straight. the patriot.
the effectice method to adopt by
which to right a wrong or cure an
evil.

Men of deep thought. of pro.
found erudition. of the most lofty
intellectually are apti to differ
radically about questions of public
influence and policies. and even
of moral tendencies. Those who
differ with their conclusions. and
may be less conspicuous for their
mental training. have no right to
couch their dissent in language
that is not only d scourteous, but
brutal in its expressions. But that
is usually the tendency of those
intellects that are contracted be-
cause of the blindness of intoler-
ance and the narrowness of bigoted
conceptions. High minded liber-
atty in the expression of personal
views on great public questions,
are more potent than those parti-
san utterances that ale calculated
to both irritate and offend.

Mr.. Wasson has been an active foe
to prohibition since he led successful

that prohibition does not abolish the

TRENTON, March 28-When THE
EVENING STARS anti-cocaine bill
comes up for second reading on Mon
day night, as is expected, the opposi-
tion at first evidenced by the drug
glsts of the State will have been prac-
tically done away with. The New Jer-
sey Pharmacists Association, which
was against the bill as first introduced,
has conferred with Sheriff Frank II.
Sommer through its representatives
and expressed itself as satisfied with
the bill as now drafted
Assemblyman Alfred A. KRISTEN, of
Railway a druggist and member of the
State association, stated this morning
that he was heartily in favor of legisla-
ton that would put stop to the unau-
thorized sale of cocaine.
You cannot quote me too strongly
on that subject" he said ST, and for
that matter, all the members of ths
association, earnestly wish that means
will be adopted to eliminate the sale
of the drug except on the authority &
those who are in position to prescribe
it,"
Another member of the association
and a member of its legislative COM
mittee, David Strauss, of this city, Is
euallyq enthusiastic in his indorse-
ment of THE STARS bill.
II am in favor of the bill in every
particular as 1t stands now" he said
"As originally drawn there were one or
two points that would have imposed
hardship on the people at large. but

SHERIFF Sommer and THE EVEN
ING STAR have been very fair in their
treatment of us, and we have nothing
to complain Of"
The position taken both by Mr. Kir-
stein and Mr.. Strauss is significant, in
view of the fact that the State asso-
citation had already drawn a bill along
it's own lines. which they intended ia
introduce this session, but which will
not be presented, now that THE

TRENTON, March 2s.-One of the
most interesting bits of gossip that
followed the conference between Gov
ernor Fort. State Treasurer Daniel S.
voorhees, and State Assessor David
Baird, was to the effect that the Gov
ernor was told that if he were to be
made the candidate of the Republican
party for Vice-President in Chieag,
next June, that he should resign as
Governor.
He Is said to have made a vigorous
protest against the proposition, but the
other conferees insisted that this would
be the only proper course to follow
The reason on which they based their
argument was that the Governors sue
+ cessor should be elected at the presi'
dental election, and not in an off year
when local questions alone would ne
submitted to the voters of the state
In this way the party would stand q
better chance of being sure of elect
| ing its candidates. it was argued.
If the Governor should resign after
being nominated for Viee-President, hi:
successor would have to be chosen a.

stitution If he should not resign unit
after the election next fall the choice
of his successor would go over to 1909
and the big leaders fear that there
would not be so easy a contest, espe
cially after the close result of las
year.
None of the men at yesterdays con
ference would talk of what took place
but it was reported that in addition
to the gossip about the Governor
resignation, the question of the ad
journment of the Legislature and o
the attitude of House Leader William
p Martin were the main subjects.
It was stated that the Governor tol'

BLOWN FROM HIS
. BED BY DYNAMITE
BUT NOT INJURED
Former Adj.-Gen. Wells, of Col
Orado, Has Marvellous Es-
cape from Assassination.

TELLURIDE, Colo, March 2s.-For-
mer Adjutant- General Bulkeiey Wells
narrowly escaped death or serious in
jury at his home here early today from
a well-planned effort to assassinate
him with dynamite.
Despite precautions against such at
tempts, with patrols ana arc lights
about the house. stick of dynamite
or prepared bomb was placed under
or near General Wells's bed.
General Wells was sleeping on an
outer porch of the house, as was his
habit, and he was hurled with the
debris many feet from his wrecked
home The side of the house was torn
completely out, hardly stick of the
bed remained and fragments of wood
were scattered, far and wide Though
badly shaken up and bruised to some
extent, General Wells is said to have
escaped without serious injury.
General Wells took a leading part in
the suppression of labor troubles in
this State in 1904-05, and was promi-
nently Identified with the recent prose-
cution of officers of the Western Fed
