H CAMPAIGN LIE

There seems a strange perversity
about mankind during election times.
During such periods the people seem
willing to believe almost any detri-
mental thing that is said about can
didates. Stories are placed in circu-
lation at such times that no one
would either believe or repeat at any
other time. Yet, during the excite
ment of electioneering, these stories
pass current and do great harm to
regulations After the election is
owe no one thinks of them any more
and the chances are good that they
are never heard Of again. People
should use as much discretion during
an election period as at any other
time, and refuse to credit anything
that is supicious or malicious in its
character no matter from what source
it may come.

1t is always a pretty good plan to
''let well enough" alone. The people
who want to vote for a "change" are
the people who hope to be benefited
by the change. In other words the
sore.head republican, who is agitating
IA change, hopes lightning may strike
him, and it's mighty little he cares
for the public welfare.

THE AMENDMENTS.

In commenting upon tie vote
for the amendments the Times
Democrat concludes an able edi-
torial as follows
LET us call attention to the fact
that the people of all but five pa
risbes in Louisiana voted with
practical unanimity for the amend
ments. Three have been initiated
into the ring and now take their
orders from the city bosses, to-
wit: st. Bernard. Jefferson and st.
John. They are suburban parish
rs, which have absorbed the ideas,
methods. etc, of the ward leaders
and Jefferson has been a little
more audacious than any ward in
New Orleans has yet attempted to
be.
Aside from those suburban pa
rishes, only two other parishes in
Louisiana have sought to betray
the cause of reform and the cause
of the people aud of the Democra-
cy, the expressed wish of Legis-
lature unanimously Democratic.
These parishes are East Baton
Rouge and St. Martin. Why they
acted 80, why they have allied
themselves with the city bosses,
we have no idea, but the matter is
worth watching and investigating,
for there are evidently two negroes
in the woodpile.
We congratulate the people ol
Louisiana ON the defeat of this
conspiracy, hut we congratulate
them still more over the defeat OF
the New Orleans ring. 1t means
much for Louisiana; and we hope
it will mean much for New Or.

this last conspiracy of theirs as
promise that Wa are soon to escape
this degrading aud ruinous thrall-
dom"

is strange very strange to our ears
as We repeat it over aud over, aud
think that for fourteen years she
was a sufferer, she has lived life
of suffering. A short time ago
she WAS young, suffering but hope
full; but now she is dead. Is it
true? Did We say Glad that dear
little Glad was dead? Yes, but
we change that and say that she
is at rest. Will we miss her, did
you ask? How can We forget

Nay, verify! Neither does image
stamped upon our hearts by those
we love perish or decay. No. we
shall not forget Glad. She was a
noble, true girl, and we delight to
pay tribute to her memory.
She lived a consecrated Chris
tian life and died a triumphant
and happy death. She was in her
teens; the time when youth stands
waiting before the half-open door
that leads into a fairer aud more
promising land of dreams and
flowers. AS she would have en-.

said: "Come this way. 1t il

We cannot forget! The night was
blue. serene aud unclouded like
those that came to Bethlehem in

serve as reminders. and the night
winds whisper her name. Forget?
Never!

HIGH TAXES.

The question of taxation is one
which has been having the close
attention of the people OF late.
The mass of the taxpayers are re-
alizing today that it is much easier
to vote a special tax than it is to
pay it, aud If we look at the long
list of delinquents, we will have the
best proof that many are embar-
rased to meet the payment of there
taxes.
We hear from every where the
demand for the reduction of the
tax rate; but at the same time we
hear that the rates of assessments
are being increased in proper
ton, which gives no relief to the
tax payer which are at the pre-
sent time over taxed.
The tax rates in st. Martinville
on the West side is as follows
