"a King Among Kings.

1t is usual in America when speak
ing of man as of noble repnte and
character to say that he is "a king
among men," During his late trip
through Europe the Ex-President OF
the United States, Hon. Theodore
Roosevelt, although only a private
citizen abroad. was entertained and
received by crowned heads and noble
men tit every turn he took as though
he were IA king among kings"
The poet Bobby Burns wrote, 81
mans a man for "a that" land it is
evident that crowned heads recog.
nize one of natures noblemen when
they meet him. The secret of ROose-
velt's popularity and power is in his
ability to keep close to the common
people and at the same time to be
natural and unabashed in the pres.
ence of kings.

First Oil Through Pipe Line.

The first oil to reach the Louisiana
plant of the Standard Oil Company
by pipe line arrived in Baton Rouge
Tuesday night, May 31st, coming
from the oil fields of Shreveport, a
distance of some 270 miles. Since
that time the oil has been pouring in
several thousand barrelsa day. The
arrival of the first oil by this pipe
line was awaited with much interest
and with some little anxiety. How
ever, the line is working fine, and the
local management is entirely salts
fed. The capacity OF the line is
10, 900 barrels a day, but there will
be no attempt to send the maximum
amount for some time yet. All the
oil that is being received il Caddo
crude oil. direct from the field in Cad
do. This line extends into Oklaho-
ma also, from which place the lOcal
plant will also soon be receiving oil.

Another Earthquake in Italy.

A litele more than one year apo
the world was Mortified by one of the
most disastrous earthquakes in
Italy within the past century. On
June 1th another earthquake visited
the southern half of the Italian DE-
ninsular, which resulted in MANY
deaths and wreck and ruin over q
wide area of territory. The loss of
lifeis not so great nor the ruin So
extensive as last year, but the coun.
try is very populous and the great
bulk OF hepeople very poor, so there
Is bound to be great deal of suffer.
ing from any calamity that inter.
rupts the scanty means the people
have to make "a living. The Italian
government has taken prompt meas
ures to meet the exigencies of the
case, and the announcement is made
that the most needy sufferers will re-
ceive assistance at once, and action
will be taken to prevent any consid-
cradle distress of Others.

Verdict for $50, 600 Damages.

The suit of Judge Schwing against
Father Holtgreve, Dunlap and 9TH
ers, for defamation of character, re-
suited in the jury awarding SOC, 200
damages. 1t is said that the defend
ants allege that bias and preju-
dice operated against them in the
trial of the case. They filed an APP
plicatiOn for new trial, which was
refused. They then appealed the
case to the supreme cOnrt, alleging
the verdict to be contrary to the law
and evidence, and that the amount
is excessive and contrary to the con-
stitution. They also allege that
three of the jurors, who are named,
were biased and prejudiced, and
should not have been taken on the
jury. All in all, the parish OF Sweet
Iberville" keeps up its reputation for
unsavory dispute, and the town of
Plaquemine seems destined to have
prolongation OF scandal in it's court
proceedings, il those ugly charges
and counter charges are allowed to
go unchallenged.

Peanut Plant May be Located in Bos-

Peanut Plant May be Located in Bos
sier City.
1t is very probable that Bain's
peanut plant will be located in
Bossier City. A desirable site
has been offered and may be &C.
cepted.
There have been offered several
sites in Shreveport, but to secure
any one of these will require more
money than possibly may be rails.
ed.
The plant is to occupy a frame
building of four stories, substanti-
ally constructed. 1t is to be pro-
vided with the best modern ma
chinery and is to give employment
to number of people.
This plant is not a factory. Ii
is a cleaner and distributor of
the peanut, which are packed and
shipped to cities and there convert
ed into a variety of candies and
CONNECTIONS. 1t is an industry
which will require large acreage
of land from which the peanuts
must be produced.
The securing of this industry
should be credited to the Chamber
of Commerce.-Caucasian.

Protestants, Catholics and Jews United
in Fight Against Race Gambling.

One of the most remarkable semi
moral and religious fights that has
ever been witnessed in Louisiana has
lust "won out" i'm the tilt with the
New Orleans Business Mems League,
in which that organization sought
to establish old-time racing methods
in that city by the repeal OF the
Locke law.
The Association of Protestant Min
listers in New Orleans have for two
Or three years been fighting the horse
racing evil in that city, but the war
they have been waging has not been
considered much of fight, because
they only represented about one
fourth of the city's religious senti-
ment. Within the last two weeks,
however, the fight has suddenly
grown very warm and serious to the
racing contingent, because Arch Bish-
op BIenk, leader of the Ca tholic faith
full, has openly and vigorously de-
nounced the evil, and his stand is ell
dorsed by the Federation of Catholic
Societies, virtually representing all
of the Catholic societies of the State.
Also the Jewish Rabbits of the city
Joined in the fight.
This religious sentiment, backed
by the business sentimental city and
State, has been IA quick and effective
factor with the Legislature, and it is
now announced that there is no hope
for the Locke law to be repealed at
this session. The sudden and sue
cessful outcome of this remarka BILE
combinat ton of religiOnists, teaches
a great moral lesson that the people
of Louisiana will do well to heed.
1t shows conclusively that if these
moral elements of the State unite in
any measure that nothing can with
stand the force of their demand.

An Official Outrage.

Ferdinanand Dudenheffrr, convict
ed thief and defaulter, who has all
along been supposed tn be confined
and undersurveillance like any other
penitentiary convict, was allowed to
leave Baton Rouge and go to New
Orleans and attend his mothers fu-
neral, dressed up like gentleman.
We have no doubt that the mother
of this scapegrace died of II broken
heart, or that she went down to her
grave gray-haired and in sorrow and
shame for her degenerate son. 1t
was sad case. and only heart of
stone would fail to feel pity under the
circumstances. Nevertheless we hold
that the officials in charge of Duden-
heffer had no right to allow him the
privilege of standing by his mothers
grave minus his penitentiary garb.
He should have worn his stripes and
had a guard over him when he at
tended his mothers funeral. He has
deserved them, and has no right to
freedom from their shame and re-
prOach. Better men than Ferd Du-
denheffer have nursed their sorrow
and anguish in the lonliness OF the
penitentihry cell while the clOds rat
tied over the coffin of sainted moth
er, and the clemency shown in Dudy's
case in an outrage upon justice.
This unequal and unfair partiality
shown to convicts with pulp
seems to be no new thing in the Lou
isiana penitentiary. tits bout time
that Gov. Sanders was making one
of his periodic Investigations, as to.
how the penitentiary officials are car
rying out the mandates of our courts.
The following extract, clipped from
the Thibodaux Commercial-.J ournal,
calls attention to the way things are
managed at the penitentiary, viz:
1.-The Times Democrat seems to have
just discovered that Ferd Dudenhef-
fer and Notary Gowland, OF New Or
leans, serving terms in the peniten-
tiary at Baton Rouge, were not
wearing stripes, and had never worn
them. This is nothing new. We
the Dudenheffer matter
over one year ago. He does not
work in the penitentiary walls, but
in an office building ON the principal
street in Baton Rouge and is permit
ted to go to and from his work un-
guarded. He is employed in the
Board of Control Office"
