Sudden Death Of Little Helen Mcleod.

Mr.. and Mrs. Alex Mcleod,
formerly of this parish but who
have for the last two years been liv-
ing in West Monroe, came to St.
Joseph Tuesday, accompanying the
body of their little girl Helen, who
was killed the previous day by fall
ing from a wagon while en- route to
school. The remains were inferred
in the Wesley Chapel grave yard
beside the grave of another child
they lost during their residence
here. The tenderest sympathy of
their friends in this parish is ex-
tended them in their sad bereave-
ment. The following notice of the
unfortunate accident is taken from
the Monroe News-Star of Monday:
Helen Mcleod, the little seven-year-
old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Alex Nc
Leod, met with an unfortunate accident
about $50 o'clock this morning, which
cost her life thirty minutes later. The
little girl, with her brother, Dick Nc
Leod, a year her senior, and Ebert
Mounger, soon after leaving their homes
in Trenton on their way to the city school
were overtaken by farmer who invited
the children to get into his wagon and
ride to town. The children climbed in
and were all as merry as could be, little
dreaming of the fate soon to. befall one
of their number. When in front of Mr..
Chapple's residence piece of tin caught
in one of the wagon wheels and little
Helen leaned over to see it. She lost her
balance and fell to the ground, both
front and hind wheels passing over her
chest. The wagon was stopped as quick
ly as possible and she was put back on
the seat. She declared che was not hurt
and start was made to continue the
journey, when the owner of the wagon
saw her condition. He turned and hur-
ried to the little girls home, where she
died in fifteen minutes, before a physi-
clan could reach her bedside. No blame
can be attached to anyone. 1t was one
of those unforeseen unfortunate accidents
that will occur. The heart-broken faith
err and mother have the sympathy of the
entire community in their sudden loss.

THE DEMOCRATIC LANDSLIDE.

Tuesdays election resulted in a
Democratic landslide which swept
out of the Republican column the
States of Massachusetts, New York,
New Jersey and Connecticut and
the great gains made everywhere
gave the Democrats control of the
National House of Representatives
by a majority of between thirty and
forty members. In Ohio the sweep
of the avalanche was almost as
strong as it was in New York and
Governor Harmon was reelected by
II plurality greater than that of two
years ago, though the complexion
of tBs Legislature is still in doubt.
In Indiana the contest for control
of the Legislature was so close that
the result will not be known until
all the returns from the country
districts are in.
Throughout the country there was
great interest in the ballots, but
most of it was centered in the State
of New York, where there was a
revolt of the conservative element
against Mr.. Roosevelt's candidate
for Governor and his new nation
alism," hence the result is crush
ing defeat for the Strenuous One.
The fact will be recalled that on
Monday night he went warhooping
through the Tammany districts of
Manhattan announcing that we
have got them beaten to a FRAGILE. I"
But he is the fragile" to-day and
the country is rejoicing at the over
throw of the former President of the
United States, who had 80 little re-
spect for the dignity of the great
office he held that he dragged it
into the slime of gutter politics.
, While it seems clear that in the
State of New York Rooseveltism
and new nationalism" were re-
sponsible for the sweeping Demo-
cratic victory, in other parts of the
country it was due to the emphatic
protest of the people against the
high cost of living and the failure
of the Republican party to carry out
its pledges to revise the tariff down.
ward. AS a matter of fact the
country has become convinced, as
Congressman Lloyd says, that the
Republican party will not enact
legislation in the interest of the
people which is detriment to the
privileged classes.-New Orleans
