'Gosslp in local political circles

most exclusively directed to the
disclosure of the fact that at the
staff banquet to Gov Sanders on
Saturday night a movement was

District Attorney st. Clair Adams
for the repeal Of the article of the
Constitution of 1898, which makes
the executive ineligible 70 succeed

PIE FOR BREAKFAST.

President Roosevelt's few ri,
naming days in Office are evidently
to be ~ strenuous AMI tnmultuOus
M any Of his seven years presi-
deney. lie il coming in for criti-
cism in all directions. His Farm
t]plift Commission has been ridi-
enled by Mr. Hill, the great rail
road magnate, who said you might
cas- well listen to the twittering of
the first robin in Spring as 10 the
report of the Farm Commission
appointed by the Administration
last Summer" These men spent
sixty days trying to find out what
is the matter with the farmers
life. 1t took England fifty years
to discover what was the reason
her farmers were leaving the farms
for the cities and get them back
again to tilling the soil. The
members of the Farm Commission
spent only Il half a day at the
State Agricultural School to find
out the matter with farm life ID
the State of Minnesota" Come to
think of it, there may not be so
much the matter with the farmers
after all and 1t might be well to
appoint commission to see what
is the matter with the "blOated
bond holders" and millionalres
and well-to-do people in the cities.
1t is said that the farmers have
pie for breakfast and that an i'll.

The resignation Of Reverend q.
G. Kramer AZ Rector Of Epiphany
Church, after an eminent and dis
tinguisl'ed pastorate extending for
a period Of twenty one years, during
which time he was prominently
identified with every movement
tending to the moral educational
and material advancement Of New
Iberia. comes in the nature OF a
distinct loss to the community and
a source Of keen sorrow TO the
vestry OF the Church for which he
SO efficiently and unseltishly la
bored.
Be it therefore resolved by the
vestry Of Epiphany Church that
the resignation Of Reverend q. G.
Kramer be accepted with an ex-
preston OF sincere and keen regret
and that the vestry realize that
resignation occasions 4 loss to the
Church OF an irreparable charact-
er, depriving it Of an lDfunca for
good that should ever he an exam
pie for tOhers to emulate.
BE it further resolved that it Is
the sense Of the Vestry, speaking
for the entire congregation Of
Epiphany Church of New Iberia,
that the Rev g. & Kramer has at
al times reflected \ zeal and de
vOti0D in his work tina: has endear

PLAYING POLITICS

a new phase OF the drama pres
ented itself this week. Expect
ancy was on tiptoe, awaiting The
regular meeting of The City Coul :
ell, which did take place Monday
afternoon. There were some who
thought it would not The SUI
prise did not develop in the hold
ing or the not holding Of The meet
ing; but in its abrupt termination
by the retirement Of Mr. Sandoz
before the conclusion of he bnsl
ness Of session.
Anticipating the meeting The
Mayor prepared the following or
der of work, which should have
been carried out to it's conelusl"'i:
Reading and approving Of mfnu'es
Reports of officers and spreading
same on minutes.
Hearing reports Of outstanding com
mtttees and action thereon.
Ratify permits granted to conduc'
Saloon business for 1909.
Ratifv the FIXING OF Polling Places IN
the several Districts Of the City
of New IBERIA.
Authorize suit against del nauent
license payers for 1909
Authorize the Tax Collector TO sell
real estate where taxes are not
paid on or before tho lst day ~
April, 1909.
Authorize the Mayor to retire AS
many Waterworks bonds as possl-
bic.
Approve bills.
Act on designations Of Members OF
Board Of Health and fill vacancies
Appoint member to fill vacancy on
the Board Of Commissioners Of the
Waterwoxks for the term of six
years.
Give notice in regard to the election
of police officers.
by referring to the official min
utes appearing III this issue OF the
Iberian it will be seen that the
abrupt termination Of the meeting
precluded action on the last three
items of the above memorandum.

Unpopular Act Vetoed

Governor Harmon sets forth IN
plain and unmistaNable terms ms
reasons for vetoing tine bill TO boost
ahe salaries OF county recorders.
No single act OF the Legislature
durdng the special session aroused
such general Indignation. The
amount involved was not so obnoN-
ious as was the unfairness OF the act
In making a horizontal increase OF
salary between The time Of election
and the beginning OF the term for
which these offioials were elected
last fall.
In his veto, Governor Harmon ar
gues the point ait issue just as
lawyer marshals his arguments in
brief to the court. IL is, in fact,
his brief TO the high court of the
people of the state in relation to an
injudiciOus aot OF the Legislature.
No better statement OF the case can
be made than the governor makes for
himself in his veto message. in which
he says:
fRWith our citizens generally COM
PEELED to retrench In order to Tighten
the load ON their diminished earn
ings, thds is no time TO be raising the
pay of public officials, as VI is the
sole object of this bill 10 do. The
claim that the recorders are un-

duce the pay OF those officers with

that I now feel in objecting TO the
bill to increase IT,. The term Of the
reconders-eleot win have begun be-
fore the regular session OF the gem

as this could be taken at that ses-

Swan Bill Stra 1gled

One of the Things left mdone at
the close of the special session of
the legislature was the Swan bill 10
require competitive bids for deposits
of state funds This bill passed the
house but, like numerous other inn
po1tant measures, Il was strangled
by the senate.
so long as the state has a Demo-
cratic treasurer no such law is need
ed, but tlhat is not the reason why
the senate strangled the Swan bill.
The Republican bosses hope to get
control OF the state treasury at the
election next year and If no such
law Is passed they will then be in
position to favor their pet banks as
they had been doing from the time
Ahe depository law was passed until
the treasury was turned over TO d.
S. Creamer, the Democratic treasurer
elected last fan.
Conforming to Governor Harmon's
campaign promises one of the first
official acts of State Treasurer
Creamer was 10 call for bids for
state deposits. The immediate result
ds an increase OF more than $1,000
per week. lover $4,000 per year, in
the amount Of interest the state will
receive ON deposits, and a more even
distribution of deposits throughout
the state.
This result completely refutes the
claim made by Republican SPELL
binders and party organs during the
campaign that under such a system
THE states funds would be aggre-
gated ait the speculative centers and
that comparative bidding would prove
an utter failure.
The success of competitive bidding
voluntarily established as part of the
business policy OF q Democratic ad-
ministration Is as.great disappoint-
ment to the corrnpting ring OF
bosses which assumes to control the
affairs of the Republican party in
Ohio. Ii may be that public opinion
will compel these bosses to let the
eSWill UUlilt OI ~ plIibitM ihpe'N'~t -
through at the next session. Wheth-
er this is dome or not the people
will see to It that the Cox-Browu-
Guilber ring does mot regain con-
trol of the state treasury next year
The people have their minds made
up now TO rount that ring completely
next year. They do not intend TO
stop with the reelection of Harmon
and Creamer, II will be Harmon

means the entire state ticket and a

DRAGNET IN PlrTsBURG
CATCHES PROMINENT MIN

PltisbuHg, March f9-The grand
jury investigation or alleged coun.
cilmanic 'coTmption was conclud-
ed late Thursday evening. A re-
port will be made by the jury to
Judge /. l.. Davis today
Rumors, impossible of confirma
ton, are extremely sensational. One
report is to the effect that at least
10 men prominent in the affaas of

quarters 1t is generally believed a

Attorney BAakely, and, II is said,
charges of attempting TO obstruet

Klein took his arrest with ap-
parent inooncern, stating he did not
object to going to jail, but me hated

on the people by escaping the ef-
feet of this provision. The principle
involved is not created, but only
fair dealing and ought to be followed
wherever 1t applies, as it does here"
This action of the governor will be
as generally approved by the people
as the passage Of the bin by the
Legislature has been generally con-
demned II is one OF the legisla-
tures sins of commission which
ranks with its numerous sins of
omission.
The veto will disappoint the coun-
w recorders of the state, but II
furnishes additional proof that the
people have governor at Columbus
who not only has their best inter-
ests at heart but also has the back
bone to protect their rights when
opportunity presents itself.
