Baton Rouge man. The small
and lonely procession of office
seekers-in some parishes, all
how small!-did and are doing
what they can for FavrOt in the
hope of getting something.
Wickliffe has gone before the
people absolutely without such
prestige. No patronage, no pow
err, no promises of office. he has
met the people face to face, and
he has told them what he hopes
to do for them if chosen as their
tribune, and they have believed
him, to Judge by his brilliant sue
cess in the first primary.
The people have thus shown
that they are free and indepen
dent of official suggestion or dl
rection; that they can and viii
decide for themselves, and tina
they wait for no holder II
extend his sceptre as sign of SOY
ereign approval of the candidate
for whom they would exercis
their suffrages.

THE GREENSBURG INCIDENT.

Hon. r. @. Wickliffe returned
from his sad errand to Kentucky
the laying to rest of his infant
son-in time to meet the appoint
ment for the joint debate at
Greensburg, Sept. p. It seems
that FavrOt had made other en-
gagements for Tuesday and gave
out that the debates would begin
at Amite on the 23d.
Mr.. Wickliffe replied that he
could not cancel the Greensburg
date without a valid excuse, and
so, kept the appointment.
Some Favrot men criticize him
for speaking when Favrot was
not there. Such criticism must
lose point when it is reflected
that had it not been for FavrOt's
eagerness to take advantage OF
Wickliffe's absence from the
state, his engagement list would
have been left blank awaiting Mr..
Wickliffe's return. In view OF
the sad cause of that absence, it
would have been a natural cOur'
tesy to show an opponent, es
pecially one who has been as
generous to him as mas Mr.
Wickliffe.

AVOIDING APPEARANCE
OF EVIL.

The Presidents reply to Mr..
Bryan is disingenuous. After
making charge against Cover
nor Haskell on one count which
has not been proven and which
Haskell denies, and upon being
called upon by Mr.. Bryan for
proof, the president switches off,
in face of the demand, to the.
written record as regards Gov,
Haskell's attitude to the Stand
ard Oil Co., in Oklahoma.
Briefly given, that record
shows that when the attorney
general of Oklahoma made an in
junction against a branch oil
company's laying pipe lines
across public highways, and do
ing other things in that officials
opinion without shadow of law,
the governor on his return from
Denver set aside the injunction
against the offending company
claiming that it was his preroga-
tive under the state constitution
| to take action-and he has done
nothing.
This is the case as the presi-
dent quotes from the record, and
while no one can approve of Mr..
Roosevelt's course in the pre-
misses, or regard it as other than
shifty, yet the fact remains that
there is too much in this matter
to permit of Gov. Haskell's re-
naming treasurer of the Demo
cratic campaign committee.
Democratic affairs are in too
precarious a state to have the
shadow of evil resting thereon. 1t
is good Democratic procedure to
avoid even the appearance of evil.
The party of reform should be
like Caesars wife above suspic,
ion.
We hope to hear of Gov. Has
kell's voluntary resignation, and
in event of it's not being given, il
should be requested.

A factory has been started by
colored people for the manufac
ture of negro dolls. The idea is
not half a bad one, but it will not
work. Negroes themselves ad.
mire the white skin too much to
care for black doll. They have
always resented the Nanny and
the Topsy dolls of which white
children are so fond.

Miss Nellie Phares left We'd
nesday morning to join her sis
ter, Miss Lille May at a health
resort in st. Tammany.
Grange Hall school seems to
be On a boom, with an enroll
ment of between forty-fve and
fifty and new scholars coming in
daily. The school wagon is run
ing and they are packing them in
like sardines in a box. Miss
Elinor Thoms, the principal, has
as assistant, Miss Florence
Smith.
Miss Sadie Wright is at home
on a short visit from the State
Normal at Natchitoches. She
contemplates returning in a
week or ten days.
w. R. Campbell was a business
visitor to Jackson a few days ago.
Jas. Thoms is at home from a
finishing school in Tennessee,
and visited his sister Miss Elinor
at her school for a short time one
day this week.
Mr.. holland Ware and his as
sistants are finishing the gin
house on the Will Wright place,
but Mr.. Thompson has conclud-
ed not to put the machinery in
this year and the farmers are
hauling their cotton to Jackson
to be ginned.
Prof. Hendon was in this
neighborhood the first of the

DEMOCRATIC Announcements:
BEWARE or APPROPRIATENESS
or COCK SURENESS.

As q contemporary whom we
quote in another column says,
there can be no doubt of the
result of the primary, Tuesday
next, unless there should be
lukeWarmness on the part OF the
Wickliife people in turning out to
vote.
There seems to be no diminutiOn
of enthusiasm for the young
FeIicianian. On the contrary it
seems to grow stronger with the
passing of the days. The dan
GER therefore is less from luke
Warmness than cock SurenesS.
Wickliffe's chances are so good
that the easy-gOing voter may
feel so sure of the result in his
fayorite's favor that he may per
NIT something to prevent his
personal appearance at the polls.
This is not wise. Beware of be-
ing cocksure in proportion as you
are not lukewarm or Indifferent.
Impress yourself with the feel
ing that your vote is important,
essential in the final score. 1t
is even 50. The larger the ma
jority, the greater the victory.
Especially should every voter
in the two Felicianas feel the obi
cation very strong upon him to &c
out for the home man. The ma
iOrity he received in the last pri
mary from his native FelicianaS
was not only a great compliment
to Mr.. Wickliffe personally but
reflected credit upon the section
itself for its unity and public
spirit. Let the score go even
higher, next time. Let every
voter dismiss any feeling Of
Diuue or dislike of the candidate
(md no one worth anything but
has enemies and Mr.. Wicklitft
has a few let every such sutfra
gan vote for the home man
saying to himself as he marks
his ballot, This vote is for thu
Felicianas.
We hope to see every Lefebyr,
vote changed into Il Wickliffe vote
We hope to see many misguided
Fayrot votes changed for the able,
candidate. Above all, we hop
to see the same devotion to HON,
and principle as in the first pr
mary, with no lukewarmness ant
no cock-surcness, each doinI
what he can towards the tina
victory.

No one appreciates work like

A girl always says that she
doesn't like to be kissed.
All play and no work makes
Jack a bad boy.
Music may be the food OF love,
but it has other accompaniment

Some men would rather com.

If not yourself, who would you

A clock student never learns
his employers interests.

The courtesy of Mr.. Favrot in
resting his campaign during Mr..
Wickliffe's absence from the
state. on account of family be.
reavement, would be admirable,
if it were true. Make hay while
Bob's away seems to have been
his sole idea.
