Report of Grand Jury.

The Grand Jury made it's final
report yesterday morning. For
ty-seven cases were examined, of
which twenty-seven true bills
were found. Further the report
reads: we have examined the
courthouse and Jail and find that
the floors, especially in sheriff S
and clerks Offices, are in bad
condition. We also learn from
the sheriff that the roof is leak
ing badly and in need of prompt
attention. We also find the glaz-
ing of the windows is badly in
need of repair, and that one of
the lights behind the Judges
chair has fallen out. Otherwise
the courthouse is in fair condi-
ton.
We find the Jail in anything
but a satisfactory condition. We
recommend that the Jail be thor
oughly cleaned and painted in
side. We also recommend SAM
tary closets in cells Nos. | and 4.
We recommend that the short
street leading to the Jail be wild
ened six or eight feet allowing
room for a sideWrlk.
We recommend that an auto
matte public watering trough be
placed on the street at a conve-
nient place near the courthouse
for the stock.
Respectfully submitted,

No visitor to New Orleans who
has ever tried having his lodg-
ing on or near Canal Street, will
ever go up town. again. The
saving in car-fare and time, the
convenience and comfort in shop
ping, are incalculable. In this
connection, it gives us pleasure
to recommend the rooms at 1915
Canal, of which Mrs. M. Carlisle
is proprietress. The rooms are
clean and comfortable, the serv-
ice, excellent. Mrs. Carlisle is
the financial secretary of the La.
Division U. D. G. and well-known
as a superior woman by the
members of that order. After
staying at her pleasant house,
one finds the problem of shop
ping in New Orleans much sim
plified.

Sketch of Campaign Manager yiIleret.

] FUSH uuHuSSl flltCIEl,
Perhaps one of the most strjk
me features of the Sixth Distric-
tt1lpdiSn just closed has beer
the remarkable record made BY
Mr.. A. Villeret, clerk of court Of
west fellciana parish, who man
aged the contest for Robert
T. Wlcklitfe. Trained politicians
IN the district say that the con.
test, from the Feliciana's stand
point, was almost unique in be-
ing absolutely devoid of a false
step, or an error in political tao
tics-and in the further fact
that not one single claim made
either before the first or second
primary failed of substantiation,
Mr.. Villeret comes from a
prominent Pointe Coupee family,
and was born in that parish,
where his father had been we'll
known as a citizen and as a Con-
federate soldier. At an early
age ne was left the eldest of a
large family, and he undertook
its maintenance by going to work
as a clerk in a country grocery.
HE studied pharmacy, almost un-
aided, and developed the quail
ties as a book lover and student
under the most disadvantageous
conditions. He finally located in
West Felicianr,, where he went
into business for himself.
He soon began taking an inter-
est in politics.
In 1900 he ran for clerk of
court and was elected. In 1904
he succeeded himself without op-
position, and in 1903 was again
honored by not having any man
run against him. During this
period he has also been active in
his interest in the State Phar-
maceutical Association, of which
he has been President.
In these days." said one of
the best informed Baton Rouge
politicians, to "conducta political
campaign a manager must have
infinite knowledge of detail and
a peculiar faculty for system, as
we'll as talent for organization.
GOODNESS, calmness, fine judg-
ment of human nature and a
temperament equable, yet not
too Sanguine-such men as A..
Villeret are exceptionally valua-
BILE to those whom they support.
An error at any time, at any
point along the line, may lose the
battle. A single false step may
throw the best-laid plans into
chaos. A failure to act promptly
and decisively when action is re-
CURED may put at naught the
hardest efforts already expended.
ITO know what to do, how to
do it and when it should be done,
to be conservative at the proper
time and aggressive when the
occasion requires it-these are
some of the qualities which go to
make up a successful political
general in these days. That Viii
leret was successful goes with
out saying.
Especially in Louisiana, and
most particularly in the Sixth
District, the responsible head of
a campaign needs tact, fnesse,
keen discernment and cool cour-
age of a moral as we'll as of a
physical sort. In the last fight
there were points at which an
error would have turned appar-
emily certain victory into a posi-
bility of defeat and not an error
was made.
It is a comment on Mr.. Viii
leret's political sagacity that not

cial bias. His injunction in the To-
ledo, Ann Arbor railway case against
the Brotherhood Of Locomotive Engi-
neers in 1893 puts him In the class Of
original labor injunction judges. It Is
worthy of note that the first conven-
ton Of the Iowa State Federation of
Labor held in May. 1898, by resolution
condemned the injunctions of Judges
Taft and Ricks.
The Phelan contempt case Of 1894,
in which Taft held Phelan in contempt
for obeying sympathetic strike is an
other OF the so-called leading cases"
frequently cited by the judiciary in the
issuing of labor injunctions, and In
punishment for contempt.
Not satisfied with having furnished
both the weapons and ammunition for
the destruction of the rightful efforts
on the part Of organized labor, he has
always used his influence with legisla-
tive bodies against corrections of any
Of the admitted abuses. Last year.
when the constitution Of Oklahoma
was pending and which contained a
clause providing for jury trial of con-
tempt cases where the contempt Is not
committed in the presence of the
court, he invaded that state for the
express purpose of defeating the adop-
ton of that constitution because of It
containing the clause providing for
jury trial..
