fraud fund, and has: itself sub
scribed fifty dollars toward the ex-
pense of making the investigation.
1t is a matter of much gratifica-
ton to US to know that the citi-
zens of this parish, and the State
in general, are subscribing liber-
ally to this fund. It is a subject
that affects the people Of this State
infinitely more than it does MIR.
Bailey, and is a question of such
widespread importance that every
self-rescpecting citizen should
feel himself personally interested
therein, as, indeed, he is. 1t is
nothing more nor less than a battle
of the people against the bosses;
whether Or not the citizens of this
State are going to permit a few in
dividuals in New Orleans to die
tate who shall govern the common
wealth, or whether they shall as
sert their independence and resent
this imrudert and pernicious usur-
patton of power by the bosses.
Mr.. Bailey's conduct in this
matter has been so gallant and
manly as to deserve the plaudlts
of the entire people. 1t requires
more than the ordinary quantum
of courage ard stamina to head a
movement of the kind inaugur-
ated by Mr.. Bailey, ald shows the
stuff whereof he is made. Of the
countless thousands affected by
this steal, he alone has had the
hardihood to pit his strength
against the bosses and declare
that honesty and purity in our
elections must be observed, and
thatatany cost. tits he who struck
out boldly alone, but since joined
by numbersess good citizens Of
the State, to strike down the
baneful influence of ring domin-
alton, instead of submitting, as
some weaklings suggested, to his
defeat like a little man." He
would have been little indeed,
infinitesimally small, as signif-
icantly minute as any of the PAN
ders for the favor of the bosses
had he tamely submitted to this
glazing outrage upon himself and
his State.

ment of the plant. The new no.
tel, the Knights of Columbus
building, the J. K. Sandoz build
ing, and a score Of other stores
and other private residences are
among those that will be deprived
of the modern means Of illumlna-
ton, and will have to go back to
the ancient kerosene, unless the
city dads get real busy and double
the capacity of Superintendent
Jones establishment at once.
This condition, while only just
now realized, has been threatened
for months, and though the Board
of Aldermen has had the subject
under consideration cat various
meetings, no definite action was
taken to forestall the impending
inconvenience. The time has now
come, however, when the matter
can not longer be deferred, and
funds mus t be derived from some
source to carry on the work. We
suggest a bond issue as the most
effective and equitable way in
which to procure the money neces-
sary for the enlargement of the
plant, and if We can succeed IN
claiming up a fey mosss-backs and
'fnegro women proxy Solicitors on
the day of the election, we are
quite certain a bond issue would
carry by a good majority.
Let the Board of Aldermen look
into the question at its very next
meeting to the end that every
citizen in the city may enjoy the
privilege of insN1ling electric lights
in his home @place of business if
he SO desires.

MIR. FARKAR'S PLATFORM

Edgar H. Farrar, a New Or
leans attorney whose prominence
is more than statewide, and who
is recognised as one Of Louisia1a's
greatest thinkers, has made some
suggestions for a democratic plat
form that have a fine ring.
1t includes three planks only:
Exclusion of all Aslatics.
Tariff for revenue only.
An income tax.
The first plank, it is pointed out,
would win much favor on the Racl-
fc coast states aid the great north
west where exclusion of Japanese
and Chinese coolie labor is today
the liveliest question in the public
mind. Such a plank in the dem
ocratic declaration Of principles
would mean thousands of votes in
the popular election and in all
probability the electoral votes of
California, Oregon and Washing
tom The revenue tariff and the in
come tax features of Mr.. Farrar's
platform are not entirely new.
Add, however, to these three
suggestions a businesslike and
earnest declaration in the matter
of trust regulation, and the demo.
cratic parH will nave something g
vital in the way Of issues that will
appeal to the great masses of the
voters of the country. If the 2an-
ocratic party expects to win the
fight, it must stand 1or something
more than WillianfJ. Bryan, en-
gaging as may be his personality,
honest as may be his intentions,
brilliant as may be his intellect

"CORN CLUBs'

The organization of Corn
Clubs" in the different parishes of
the State which was started sew
eral weeks ago by W. R. Dodson,
director of the Louisiana exper-
iment stations, has grown to large
proportions. the purpose of the
clubs is to encourage boys in pub
lie schools to plant and cultivate
an acre of corn each. A prize is
to be awarded at the fairs in each
parish for the best acre raiSSdin
the parish by members OF the
club. The agricultural edeca-
ton gained by the club menu PRS
will be of incalcuable value to

secured from the chief of police of

alias Will Badger, a negro with a
mixture of Indian blood, who is
wanted for the murder Of a woman
near Melville about three years
ago.
Badger, when he committed
this murder was placed under ar
rest but he managed to make his
escape from the St. Landry jail,
and last week was located
in Baton Rouge by Officer
Acosta and placed under ar
rest. Sheriff Swords thinks that

being hung or sent to the penn

THE EVERLASTING REID
e CASE

The seventh trial of the Reid
case ended at Lake Charles Satur-
day without a verdict. Judge
Lee stated from the bench that
it appeared to him that the attor-
neys on neither side wanted a
verdict.
General Guion, directed by the
Governor to take charge of the
case, has sent kilograms to Judge
Lee aad Acting District Attorney
Stewart urging such action and
counsel for Mr.. Reid, it is under
stood, are perfectly willing to as
sent to the motion Of the State.
The general facts in the case
are pretty generally known. Mr..
Reid, while sheriff, defaulted to the
ssESSadssasrfmfnxss, however,
rest Of a ,feMsbeuut that of one of his
5em. Iyees whose suicide follow
~ the discovery of discrepancies
in his accounts revealed the short
age. Mr.. Reid owned much val
liable property and asked for fiji
teen days time in which to realize
money sufficient to maka:a settle
ment with the state. Nnexpect-
edly, in seven days the matter
was placed in the1 hands of the
authorities and fife plans for a
settlement weregknocked in the
head and mucmo of the sheriff's
property was sabsifGedz he ran
for office again ih1oTSy6, but the
returns were against him ard he
submitted to defeat and surrend-
cred the Office.
In the meantime the bondsmen
settled with the state. Public
opinoin in Calcasieu evidently
finally reached the conclusion that
Mr.. Reid was innocent of any
wrong doing, for four years ago
he sought vindication at the hands
of the people and in spite Of a bit
ter fight was again elected sheriff.
Governor Blanchard issued his
commission after suit had been
instituted and General Guion had
given an opinion that the execu-
tive could not withhold it.
Mr.. Reid, having taken office,
suit to remove him eMas begun
four years ago and has since been
in progress, pushed, it is said, by
interests personally and politically
hostile to the sheriff. The case
has been before the supreme court
several times ard in one of its
opinions was interpreted as fore
casting judgment adverse to Mr..
Reid whatever the verdict below.
The seven disagreements which
have taken place have been the
result of blank votes by Jurors,
who evidently believe that only
by mistrials can they prevent the
busting Of the sheriff, to which the
majority Of the people Of Calcasieu
are opposed.
