A VANISHING TYPE.

Is the spell binder, the stump
speaker and the army of fiery souls
with tremulo and loud pedal vocal at
tachments to be side-tracked down
the slope of oblivion? 1t begins to
look that way Nowadays a presidential
candidate is required to draw real
crowd of listeners. The common SPELL
binder shouts at empty benches and
roars his periods into vacancy The
people simply will not turn out to
hear him. They prefer, if they notice
synopsis of his remarks in the next
days newspaper. Taft or Bryan
brings them together, not for what
they may say, but to see "the next
president" and enthuse a little in the
modified fashion of political enthus-
iasm. The ordinary stumper shakes
his locks and his index finger at a
few faithful and q bunch of boys who
ought to he at home, and whose pres
ence is due to the hope that circum-
stances may be such as to excuse. rob
berry of back alleys for bonfire mater
ial. The political speaker is up against
it. He is following the path of the
buffalo the emu and other vanishing
types, that started down hill when
the world had done with them.
It is a marvellous decadence from
the days Of our youth, if we have gray
in our hair, when the entire bar Of
each county went forth to the fray
like bridegroom, and the school
houses rang with the eloquence in.
spired by postofficial hope, or at least
the desire to be known Of men as an
Orator" 1t was a mighty good way
for young lawyer to get acquainted.
Many a good case with its lucrative
fees dated from a fiery outburst de-
few gathered in the school house amid
enthusiasm and tobacco spit, as the
teacher realized next day. Many a
congressional career has its founda-
lions above the underpinning Of a
country school house.
The big guns came to the county
seats. Here they were greeted by the
marching clubs from Posy and it's sis
ter townships. Enthusiasm and other
stimulating agencies frothed high. De-
nunciation brought yells of stern APP
prevail and encouragement. The polit-
zeal fathers sat gray bearded and dig
nified on the platform. When the
"repered name OF our noble What's
His Name" was followed by the cal
culated pause OF the spell-binder what
storms OF applause broke out and set
the dogs barking. 1t is hard to arouse
q demonstration now even in a ma
ttonal convention at mention OF a
president or a presidential candidate.
Why, in those old days, men yelled
their heads off over a harmless nee
essary sheriff, and township
trustee could always depend on few

II is disgraceful scandal that so

should consider the church establish

two weeks, visiting theGonzales, Black

met the committee on consolidation of
the Galyez and Mt. Zion schools aud
accepted on behalf of the parish school
board the transfer of title to an acre
of ground donated by Samuel A.

ton OF a modern grammar school
building to be occupied by the com,
bined GalYez and Mt. Zion schools will
be submitted by Supt. Showalter in

Reports from all the schools in the
parish state good progress is being
made by an excellent corps of COM

4 fragrant Outrage.

Intense excitement and indignant on
were caused il New Orleans Thurs
day evening by a deliberate attempt
on the part of Police Inspector E. S.
Whitaker to assassinate j. M. Le-
vogue, managing editor of the Morn
ing World. Angered By reportorial
and editorial articles in the World
charging him with being regular
attendant and bettor at the race tracks,
and denouncing him for his conduct
towards the World reporter who took
pictures OF him and recorded his
movements at the races, the inspector
went to the newspaper building ac-
companied by several armed subor-
dinates, entered the EDITORS Office,
struck him in the face and fred two
Intellectual shots at him before being
restrained from further violence by
the interference Of persons attracted to
the scene by the disturbance. Several
hours later Mayor Behrman suspended
the inspector and appointed Capt.
John P. Boyle to act as temporary
inspector With instructions to suspend
from duty all the members OF the
police force implicated in the affair,
and yesterday Mr.. Whitaker was
called upon to plead to charge OF
shooting at with intent to murder,
being released on a $4,000 bond.
There can be but one judgment by
law abiding and right minded citizens
as to the conduct of the police in
spector in this IA after. No matter how
great the provoeation contained in the
publications which incensed him, he
had no shadow of excuse for taking
the law into his own hands and seeking
to inlict the death penalty in Vindica-
ton of his reputation or satisfaction
of his wounded feelings. Such a
course would have been indefensible
On the part of any citizen, but when
pursued by a chief OF police-an
officer who is under special obligation
to prevent just such occurrences and
to maintain the law and the public
peace-it becomes tenfold more re-
prehensible and outrageous.

Carry Nation In nnnsidsanYiIIe.


Garry A. Nation arrived il Donald.
sonville yesterday afternoon from
Baton Rouge via the Mississippi Val
ley route and steamer Virgie, and was
met at the lsEding by a noisy crowd
of perhaps tgo hundred people, COM
prised mainly of small boys and curl
osity impeiled adults. The Ratchet
welding reformer had been expected
to reach here by way of the steamer
Vtrgie at 3:45 o'clock, at which hour
quite a large crowd OF people had
congregated on the river front 10
catch glimpse of the noted visitor,
but it trapspired that the south-bound
train On the Mississippi Valley road
was considerably behind time and
failed to make competition with the
Virgie at Burnside, hence Mrs. Nation
did not arrive here until the return of
the Virgie from her second afternoon
trip, about $50 o'clock. After disem-
barking, Garry and her host, Rev. e.
p. Craddock, pastor Of the local Meth
| odist church, proceeded to the st.
Martin House, where quarters had
been engaged for the reformer. Upon
| arriving at the hosiery, Mrs. Nation
assembled the steps leading to the main
entrance and from this vantage point
turned and addressed a few words to
the large crowd which had gathered to
| welcome her, thanking them for their
reception and stating that she chopped
| to meet them later" She then entered
| the hotel and was shown to her
room, first making sure that no
liquors were sold on the premises, At
O'Clock Mrs. Nation was driven to
| Inc courthouse, where she addressed
an audience which packed the big
courtroom to its utmost capacity,
speaking along the lines OF her previ-
| Gus lectures in this and other states.
The meeting was called to order by
| the saloon smasher came to Donald
sonville and who had entire charge Of
the arrangements for her reception
and entertainment. 1t had been stated
that Mayor Charles Maurin would pre-
side over the assemblage and intro
duce the visitor, but this proved to be
erroneous.
During her stay here, Mrs. Nation
did not evince desire to wreck any
saloons or indulge in other pictur-
esque antics. Her visit was looked
upon with levity by a large proper
ton of the public, and there seemed to
be a general inclination to humor her
whims and, in the language Of the day,
''iolly her along'' A local saloon
| keeper decorated his establishment
with the posters announcing Mrs. Ma
/ ton S lecture, and other drink dispen
sers expressed willingness to have
the reformer call at their places of
| business and talk 10 her hearts con
tent. IF the truth be told, however,
some OF them were probably in mortal
fear that she would accept the invita-
| ton.
Mrs Nation left at noon today via
the Texas and Pacific Railroad for
| Napoleonviiie, where she delivered a
| lecture this afternoon, and from whence
she will proceed to Piequemine for
brief stay.
