SANDERS RALLIES.

i-Nti.' y NHtit tilt enthusiasm SHOWI
by the voters has been highly
satisfactory to the entire Sanders
faction. On account of lack o1

about Lieutenant Governor San

We received a pleasant call this
week from Hon. J Nelson Greene,
Of Ahbeville, Nermillion parish.
WIZ is making the rounds Of our
parish in the interest of his cam
didacy for the State Senate from
this district. Mr.. Greene is q law
y"r by profession and served bis
people most acceptably four years
ago - District Attorney. He is
IT present largely interested in
several Of the most important COM
n2"tcial enterprises in his home
parish and is the president and a
i"-ge stakeholder in the First
National Sank of Abbeville, one
OF th" most prosperous financial
i: ~tIfutions in this section. Be-
ginning life poor boy, holding q
ten dollar clerkship in a country
sture. he rose by faithful devotion
to duty. rugged honesty and a
wrll-poised mind to a position of
prominent Importance in the COM
He has always been a |
staunch Democrat and taken an
active interest in politics. While |
he has frequently held Office he is
in no wise an office seeker, having
as District Attorney and also as
Mayor Of Abbeville. 1t is a safe
rule Of conduct that the man who
has successfully administered his
own affairs and always proven
to his trust may be con-
fidentIy relied upon to discharge
MS official obligations in an equal
y acceptable manner. Hence we
,ccl no hesitancy in stating that
~ voting for Mr.. Greene on next
Tuesday the people of the Eleventh
Senatorial District will entrust
heir affairs into safe hands. Mr..
Greene states that Vermillion
Parish is safe for the Sanders
action by a handsome majority.

Lynching itself IS indefensible in n

crime is perpetrated In connection with
a mock trial presided over by regularly
constituted authorities, it comes very
near being an outrage upon American

Judge, if the reports are true, simply

FOR PROTESTANT COOPERATION

There is to be a gathering at Phila-
delphia of representatives OF churches
in America for the purpose of discuss
ing the unification of Protestant church
work. The gathering is regarded as
one OF the most important ever held
Tor the promotion of Christian unity.
1t is hoped that an organization will
be affected by means of which every
section of the country will be brought
under Protestant influence, and that
much OF the work that is now done by
rival churches will be executed in CO.
operation and harmony.
For many years the principle of CO.
operation between Christians has been
Acknowledged as true by those who
have given the subject intelligent con-
sideration. The aims and purposes OF
the Evangelical Alliance, at first hardly
accorded a respectful hearing, are now
being accepted by almost all enlight-
encd members OF the various denom-
nations. About five years ago the
congress OF. Episcopal bishops held at
Washington. passed resolutions recon-
mending not only close approachment
but that the subject of agreement be-
tween Episcopals, Methodists and Pres
bytcrlans be earnestly considered by

more. the poor man less: but the poor
man pays far more in proportion. Ac-
cording to the World:
A man who pays SIS rent for a tene-

to his landlord but to the city. But the
butcher. the baker. the confectioner.
the barber. the theater manager. all
pay taxes and all pass the bill along
10 the consumer like the landlord. II
the SlS-a-month for rent represents
one quarter of u mans income his to-
tai indirect city tax is probably not
far from SLIGO q month. or four times
what he pays through his landlord.
But the city tax does not, of course,
represent all of tho tax-burden. If to
the poor mans city taxes be added
the amount by which his living eX-
penses are increased by national tax
alton and the sums of which his family
is deprived through, unnecessary exac-
tons of public-seryicel corporations due
to past city neglect, exactions which
are in effect taxation for private proht
then taxation is the largest single item

In The same way the AGILITY OF any
community to pay taxes should be reg
ulated not by the high incomes OF
professional aud successful business
mon but by the earning capacity Of the
laborer, and these are too often under

FOR THE Town MEETING.

Students Of municipal government,
Who believe that some sort of q change

theory that while Il small executive

out large popular body to which the
commission is answerable, seems to me
to increase the evils of the present sys-

one step further from the voters. That
tendency seems to be entirely mischiev-
Gus; we ought TO be going in the 9th

Professor Beale believes in the town
meeting" andis not afraid to say so.
Only. in larger. cities that idea would
be impractical. His proposition Is that
the executive head of the city govern

men, sitting as members of repre-
sentative council composed Of one
member for each 500 inhabitants, and
elected to represent small compact To-
calities This council he suggests.

with the mayor and aldermen, hear

other hand, the executive board would
be constantly under a scrutiny moro

is secured by any existing municipal
system.
a great many schemes for the inn

have been proposed. Each has it's OPP

necessary. when reform is demanded,
TO study the various plans proposed

One thing is certain, municipal gov
eminent should be taken out of parti-

police and the law breakers, for
political reasons. Then, il should not
be possible 10 employ inspectors of pub
lie works, who know nothing of the
work they are TO inspect. That kind OF

And, no doubt many abuses would be
corrected, We're the citizens generally

NEW FEATURE IN LYNcHING.

the attempt to perform a brutal lynch-

few days ago in Tennessee, in the
Very heart OF a district infested With
night riders.
Three negroes had been arrested for
killing a deputy sheriff, who had tried
10 stop fight at negro church. The
prisoners were hurried to jail and a
mob was promptly formed to murder
them. Then prominent men addressed
the mob and pleaded that the law might
be allowed to take its COURSE.
Then the Judiciary took part in the
