There are two reasons for this:
First, the Democrats cannot attack the

Second, Charles j. Hughes Jr,, hopes

II there is anyone in the United
States who realizes that the Demo
cratic party is n party of words and
not deeds, II is the laboring man.
Since the palmy days of 1896 the la
boring man has been the butt of Dem
ocracy's principal agitations. Every.
thing the party aspired to accomplish
was for the laboring man and him
alone.
Yet the real benefits TO the laboring
man have come from the Republican
party. 1t has been party OF deeds
aud not words. And today, when Mr.
Samuel Gompers endcayors TO reach
down in his pocket and hand over the
labor vote to William Jennings Bryan
his action is met with chorus of dis
approval from all parts Of the country
Mr. Gompers apparently does not
know his own following. II he visits
the Trades Assembly of Denver o,
any other large city of the United
States he Will discover that the wise
conservative leaders OF those organlzn
tions are Republicans and not Demo
Gratis. They have tired OF following q
vain hope and prefer Instead TO lend
their support TO the party of progress

holders OF that great society all over

1t was the Colorado department that
caused the spectators temporarily in

put In place of safety over 100000
from chain of banks where It had
been deposited to cover personal loans
of those controlling the stock. This was
done during the panic of October last
year and saved the policyholders many
thousands of dollars. This action was
bitterly opposed by L. II. and o. F.

public the companies which have com

RecOIIectiOns of Audubon.


James Audubon, the great nat
uralist, whose Birds OF Amerl-
ca" is one of the finest contrlou-
tons to Americas knowledge OF
itself, spent several years OF his
life in this parish. Here ne
roamed at will through it's fields
and forests, rich with data for
his immortal work. Here mel
studied the birds of Louisiana at
close range and amid genial sur
roundings. Of course, the people
of that day but dimly realized
his genius and doubtless thought
him sadly idle fellow to roam
the woods with gun or pencil,
while his little wife taught to
support him. This wife by the
way was a great aunt of the Rev.
A. G. Blackwell of New Orleans
and still another generation re-
moved from Mrs. Jos. l.. GOlsan
of St. Francisville. 1t may be
said however for the acumen and
artistic taste of the Percys and
the Garrett Johnsons that they
showed much appreciation OF the
erratic genius, and in the tradl-
ditions of the former family,
there is an added luster from
their recollections of the match
less Audubon.
For these reasons, an article
in the N. O. Morning World OF
Sunday is interesting to many
here, particularly the extracts
which follow:
