Hon. VIM. trimmings Bryan.

The editor of the ColfaX Chronicle,
in company with goodly number OF
citizens from Grant parish, had the
pl Assure ON New Years Day of listen
ing to the address OF Hon. Wm.'J.
Bryan, in the opera house in Alexan-
dria, his subject being 1.-The Average
Man." or "The Common People. )"
To say that the lecture was pleasing
and instructive is but to family de-
scribe the world of political iDiorHa-
ton it embraced. and the pleasing
manner of its presentation. MT.
Bryan also delivered his famous re-
Iiyious lect ure, 1.-The Prince OF Peace, y
in the same house that evening, but
we were prevented by business en-
gagements from remaining to hear it.
This man, W. j. Bryan. a christian
gentleman, is hoDored and recognized
the world over because he Is honest ,
true and sincere in his convictions.
Let the boys of our land understand
this thoroughly. His popularity
and his power hns been gained by SO
briefly. absteniousness, earnest study
and close application. He maintains
that popularity as he gained it, by
simple christian honesty and industry

New Years Day started of little
cloudy and hazy, hut in two or three
hours the clouds lifted and the sun
shone out for the balance oil the day
and The rest of this week. Let MS
all hope this is an omen of the sun
shine and happiness that 1908 has in
store, and. while our prospects in the
opening days of the year may look a
little hazy, that the sunshine of pros
perity will overspread all with its
cheer before the year closes.

Exaggerated Claims.

The Sanders folks evidently be-
lieve in making big claims. They
reported 10000, at the Artillery
Hall meeting in New Orleans,
when automatic counters used to
check every man, show that 1863
WAS all there were in the hall 1888
entering by the St. Charles street
doorway, and &c through the Ca
rondelet entrance. In the street
outside there were according 10
to the same count 1883 persons.
And these figures include more
than 1000 women and children.
Also the claim is made that at
the meeting in Colfax two weeks
ago 500 persons were present The
court house auditorium will seat
exactly 200 persons. If you allow
the big estimate of 80 for those
within the railing and 40 for those
standing in the aisles, there were
perhaps 275 persons present. or
these at least 60 were ladies and
children, and then there were more
than 20 negroes in the court room.
So in any event there were less
than 200 voters present, aud fully
forty of them We're Wilkinson men.
The meeting at Natchitoches,
claimed to have 1000, is authorita-
lively stated to have had only BOG
persons in it.

written by u woman in Shreveport,
very indecent in it's character.
Lee and his partner. both very
drunk, were put off the L. & A. train
ut Williams station, and the rnmOr

his partner were kicked off the train.
aud that the man had died of injuries

nothing in the rumor. He saw the
conductor and other witnesses, who
agree that the parties had not paid
their fare. and did not offer to pay it
nor did they resent or resist any ut
tempt to put them off the train. On
the contrary, they were very drunk
and had to be assisted off, and nc
violence or injury was done in putting
them off.

Nobody Entitled to bouquets.


The Chronicle is under obligations
to Senator c. ii. Teal for a file oil
newspapers containing the u laws
passed at the late session OF the leg
islature. In relation to these laws,
the Senator is ON record, in his speech
mt Verda a couple of weeks ago, say
ing that "no one is entitled to any
bouquets for the work accomplished,
ms every one We'd with the other in
trying to give the people what was
demanded" This expresses the sit
uation to "a ct" and we congratn-
late the Senator on his apt and ex-
pressive description of the work that
was accomplished. He is not only
discerning in his perception, but lib
eral and progressivein his views, AMI
we feel sure that hegreat bulk OF his
constituents desire to see the Sena-
torial toga continued to him Tor an
other term. While he is not making
any special claim to bouquets, the
Senator is entitled to the credit oi
seniority in the matter of making
prohibition n Statewide issue. and
his views and actions are always
along progressive lines.

A Sensation Exploded.

Somewhat of a sensation was
sprung in Colfax and vicinity last
Saturday and Sunday, Ivy the receipt
of kilograms from New York stating
that Rev. Jerre Cooke, who eloped
with seventeen-year-old Floetta Wha-
ley, at Hampstead, Long Island. last
spring. was supposed to be in the
Big Pine logging camp, FIVE miles
from Colfax. V. 0. zones. of Emden,
is said to have wired the report to
New York papers that Cooke brought
the girl to his house, and from there
they went to the Big Pine camp. An
investigation was started, and, while
it was in progress advices were re-
ceived that the couple had been To-
cnted in San Francisco, more thnn
two thousand miles from Colfnx
1t is thought thnt Mr.. Jones got the
whaley girl confused with another
woman who was parading in mems
clothing in this section in the spring
of 1906.
