"coMMAssIE OXFORD TORMENT"

BEVERLY, Mass, July 81
Whisper it, lest "Edythe, the
white house bovine, overhear.
There's a new official COW been
engaged for President Taft's sum-
mer home to provide a substitute
for Edythe's tactical nectar. Like
the other pedigreed, pampered and
pasteurized presidential pet at
Washington, this one is full
blooded Jersey. Her name is
Commassie Oxford Torment, which
hereabouts is jocularly admitted
to be sheol of a fine name for a
COW. Yet she comes by it legiti-
mately, for, looking her up in the
Jersey peerage, 1t is seen that she
is the daughter of Commassie Ok
ford Lad, by Flying Fox, by
Golden Fern, and her mother (not
mother-in-law) was Great Tor
mentor, and she is related to the
famous Exile of st. Lambert and
to several other prominent and il
lustrious cattle. In fact, she is
far removed from the common
herd; and, even If she wasn't, she
wouldn't mingle with it.

BENNETT STILL
HAS MONEY

Now it appears that Nelson
Bennett is not completely bust
ed" after all.
When an excuse for handing
him a nice fat pay envelope OF
$500 a month was wanted, Mr..
Bennett said he could not afford
to neglect his family in the shock
ing manner he had been doing by
working on the park board unless
he could get pay for it. He has
not been able to get any cash on
those park board warrants yet,
but he seems to have money any
way. Yesterday he reported to
the board that he had made a de-
post" on the new electric tour
ing car. AS the board has no
money, he had provided it out of
his own pocket. Mr.. Bennett re-
ported that the car was on the
way.
The board also decided 1t would
fix up Ferry park. Vandals have
twisted the lions tail until the
statuary is ruined, but 1t will be
painted up anyway.

MAN SPENDS MORE
FOR DRESS THAN
WOMAN

BERKELEY, CAL, July ~
Only one family in seven has a
bathtub and but one family in
four, having an income less than
$1,100, can afford one, according
to statistics in the possession of
Mrs. Ellen III. Richards, expert in
household economy from the Mas
sachusetts Institute of Technology.
Mrs. Richards is here delivering a
course of lectures at the university
summer session.
Another point made by the lee
turer was that despite popular i'm
preston to the contrary, man
spends more money for dress than
does woman. She said today that
her statistics prove that while a
woman is spending $23 for clothes
her husband is spending $33. In
the case of boys and girls the lat
ter spends the most, the ratio be-
ing SIS to $12.

under charges, three for criminal
libel and twenty EIGHT fora crime

was arrested in New Orleans,
brought back to Plaquemine and
was jailed. His bail WAS fixed at

charges. the arrest and imprison-

charges will be- awaited with the

arc serious and appear to BE- we'll

there appears to he persecution
from the combined official com.

he is very dull on law or very

SATURDAY, AUG. 7, 1909.
A Great Legal Light.

Some time a genius will spring
up from unexpected quarters and
create real surprise.
Such WAS the experience OF St.
MartinvIlle last Saturday. and the
people of the town were bewild-
cred in their astonishmsLt of the
display OF legal talent made by our
contemporary tho Banner.
Think of it, the Banner has dis
covered in the printing law a
clause that made it's heart light
and happy.
"7hat the Police Jury shall al
rays hare the right Of rejecting
any and all bids for parish prin-
ting"
This clause is simple aud clear;
it WAS inserted solely TO get rid of
the fellow who does not belong to
the gang. Works nicely, doesn't
it? Knocks the other fellow sky
high and laughs at the idea Of
going to court.
The Banner grlnned aud rejoic-
oil at this discovery of a clause
that protected the Police Jury in
rejecting the Messengers bid and
accepting that of the Banner. and
upon this discovery the Banner
turned loose its safety valve aud
allowed good lot of wind to
escape.
The Banner does not seem to
know that the old printing law
which gave the Police Jury the
right to appoint a parish printer
was 50 much abused that tho last
illmsfriouS legislature enacted Act
No 1874 of 1908 with no other iu.
tention than to prevent abuse and
graft.
The law says that no printing
shall be given except to the low
est bidder, aud the clause just dis.
covered by the Banner WAS inser.
ted in that law to deal with Just
such bid as that of the Banner, tc
protect the peoples money from
suck blanket bid that left 80 much
opening for abuses. The Police
Jury has right to reject bids like
that of the Banner that specifics
nothing and fixes no price, but the
Police Jury has 10 right to rejec,
al honest, just, specific and legaI
bid, the printing must go to the
lowest responsible bidder, aud DC
blanket bid like that Of the Ban.
uer can aud should be considered,
The Police Jury would have
been justified in rejecting blank
scheme bids but had no right to
reject bid rs clear and specific
as that of the Messenger.
The case is now in Court.
This may be a surprise 10 The
