ARTICLE NO. 9.


That these articles are being read
by the large majority of the citizens
of this city there is ample proof.
The question may have occurred to
you-Why is the Street Railroad
Company so concerned about the COM
paratiyely small revenue it receives
from the city? You have perhaps
J asked yourself, is the business of the
city so profitable that it justifies so
much advertising?
We would answer to this that we
value highly and appreciate the bust
ness of the city and we value highly
and appreciate all our other business
and that we know that our position
in this matter is absolutely right.
Right for the city and right for US.
There are three methods of proceed
ure to follow when a public utility
company is called upon to face a
municipal ownership campaign. The
first way is, to do nothing and permit
false claims and misleading state
ments and appeals to prejudice go I'M

TOHN G. CARLISLE.

Picayune August 4: The death in
New York City yesterday of Hon. John
G. Carlisle recalls among other matters
the fact that there was time since the
great sectional war which established
the Republican party when the Demo-
Gratis dominated both houses of the Ma
tional Congress. This was more than
thirty years ago when Hon. Allen G.
Thurman of Ohio was president pro tenn
of the United States Senate, and Sam
uef J. Randall of Pennsylvania was the
Speaker of the House in the Forty-sixth
Congress. Both were Democrats.
That was in 1879. In 1881 Thomas
F. Bayard of Delaware, Democrat, pre-
sided over the Senate In 1883 John G.
Carlisle of Kentucky was Speaker of
the House and continued so to 1885,
After that, with brief Republican in
term, there were Democrats who pro-
sided over both houses down to 1896,
but that seems a century away. The
.'Jackass" party never could hold on to
anything.
John Griffin Carlisle was born in
Kentucky in 1885; was lawyer and
prominent in State politics, and was
elected to Congress in 1877 and served
to 1880, being Speaker from 1883 to
1880. In 1890 he was elected to the
United States Senate, and was appoint
ed by President Cleveland Secretary of
the Treasury in 1893. He had resided
in New York, where he was engaged in
the practice of law. Mr.. Carlisle was
one of the party's great men. but ii has
had no use for such men for some time
past. Let us hope there viii be change.

LEES STATUE
It VIII Not Be Removed from Statuary
Hall in Washington

Beverly, Mass, Aug. There is no
provision of law by which the statue of
General Robert E. Lee in Confederate
uniform can be removed from Statuary
Hall in the capitol at Washington Such
is the opinion of Attorney General
Wickersham. President Taft has ap-
proved this opinion without comment.
The Department of New York, Grand
Army of the Republic, has protested
against the placing of the statue of Gen
eral Lee CARRIED in the uniform of a
Confederate warrior in the hall.
Mr. Wickersham, after brief resume
of the law creating Statuary Hall and
laying stress on the fact that Congress
placed no limitations in the act upon
the exercise of the discretion of any
State in selecting these persons whom it
may deem to be Worthysof this national
commemoration,' concludes his opinion
as follows:
1T is now forty-fve years since the
Civil War closed, Robert E. Lee has
come to be generally regarded as typi-
tying not only all that was best in the
cause to which, at the bellest of his ma
tive State, he gave his services, but also
the most loyal and unmurmuring Accept
ance of the complete overthrow ofsthat
cause. That the State of Virginia should
designate him as one iilustrious for dis
tfnguished military service is therefore
natural that his statue should be clothed
in the Confederate uniform, thus e1o-
quently testifying to the fact that
nagnanimous country has completely
forgiven an unsuccessful attempt to de-
stroy the Union, and that the statue
should be accepted in the national Stat
uaTy Hall as the symbol CT acceptance,
without misgivings, of complete sur
render and renewed loyalty, should
surely provoke no opposition. But, at
all events, independently of the question
of taste, the act of Congress places no
restriction on the designation by the
State of whom they may desire to honor
in this way, nor does it vest in any of
fetal any censorship concerning the de
signation of the costume in which that
statue shall be depicted"

WEATHER AND CROPS
Considerable Improvement in Sections
Where There Was too Much Rain.

New Orleans Picayune August I The
past week has developed an improve
nent in the weather conditions over the
greater portion of the cotton belt. The
excessive rains, which gave cause for
complaint for many weeks, gave place
to clear warm weather in the central
and eastern cotton states, affordinge the
farmers a much needed opportunity to
cultivate their crops and get rid of the
grass and weeds, which had run riot
during the rainy spell. As result OF
the better weather, the crop has shown
considerable improvement.
In the western portion of the cotton
belt dry hot weather has been the rule,
and although it can not be said that any
important damage has been done to the
fine crops in that section as yet, con-
tinued absence of rain would undoubt-
edly cause deterioration While the tenn
perature has been high, the crop has so
far been spared the hot parching winds
that are sometimes experienced in Tex
as and Oklahoma at this period of the
year, the prevailing winds having been
southerly, which are usually moisture
laden.
From all sections of the South there
are reports of good corn crops, the con-
ditions which have initiated against cot
ton not having damaged corn to any
thing like the same extent.
The rice crop has also made good pro-
gress, the frequent rains having been
beneficial to that cereal
While there are complaints in the SUI
gar belt of excessive rains interfering
with the laying by of the cane and its
proper cultivation, there is little COM
plant of any actual damage. All sec
tons report that the cane is growing
rapidly, and, with the exception of the
spring plant, in which the stands are
gappy, the crop is looking fine.
During the past few days the weather
has been dry and hot, and planters are
evidently securing the much-desired OPP
portunity for giving the final touches to
the cultivation of the crop prior to its
laying by.
