DEATH OF SENATOR S. D. McENERY.

United States Senator Samuel Douglas
McEnery died at his home in New Orleans
at $40 o'clock a. m. last Tuesday, June
%, from the effects of an attack of acute
indigestion, aged seventy-three years.
The announcement of the unexpected
passing away of this distinguished Louisi-
anan came as a great blow to the state,
and causes such poignant sorrow and pro-
found regret as only the death of so great
a statesman can create. Louisiana
mourns the loss of this faithful citizen
and influential advocate, who served her
so well and Loyalty for upwards of thirty
years.
The funeral took place in New Orleans
Thursday forenoon, interment being made
in Metairie Cemetery in the presence of a
vast concourse of mourners.

PRESIDENT TAFT's RECORD.

Despite the contrary predictions with
which the newspapers have been teeming,
the principal bills commonly denominated
as administration measures ard which
President Taft advocated as Tespon-
sive to the professions and pledges of
the Republican national platform, were
passed by congress before the end of the
session
Most prominent among these measures
are the railway rate bill. the New Mexico
Arizona joint statehood bill, the postal
savings bank bill, the anti-injunction
bill, the conservation validating bill and
the bill requiring publication of campaign
expenditures.
The cartoonists, correspondents and
photographers made merry over the sup
posed difficulties and embarrassments of
the Taft administration, but the preSi-
dent can take and turn a joke as well
as the next man, and it is always the
last laugh, which is his portion now, that
is most enjoyable.
The people will admire his good faith
and good humor, and will accord him full
credit for his accomplishments.

THE SALE OF THE PENITENTIARY
FARMS,

The legislature has passed the act au-
thorizing the sale and mortgage of the
penal farms, Notwithstanding the all but
unanimous disapproval of the people as
voiced by the press of the state. This
feeling of disapproval is much stronger
and more deep-rooted than the admins
tration seems to realize. It does not rest
on any mere pecuniary consideration, but
is based on high moral grounds. 1t is the
settled conviction of the more thoughtful
and intelligent part of the community
and leads all that class to look and watch
with relentless anxiety for the action of
the executive branch of the government
now that the legislature has given a free
hand.
To say that these farms or any of them
should be sold because they are unprofit-
able is a childish absurdity, and no such
reason will be accepted as sufficient to
warrant such sale. In the first place, not
one of them was purchased as a pecuni-
airy investment or with view to pecuni-
airy profit. Each of them has served. and
served admirably, the purpose for which
it was purchased. In the second place. it
is difficult to persuade the ordinary man
engaged in buying and selling that an
estate which has paid its own purchase
price besides maintaining itself and pay
ing for great and extensive Improvements
is Improbable and ought to be unloaded
for that reason.
No explanation adequate to warrant the
sale of any of these places has as yet
been given to the public. The people ex-
pect that before anything is done in this
behalf the whole matter will be laid before
them.

THE RETURN OF RoosEvELT,

Ex-President Theodore Roosevelt landed
at New York on Saturday, June Is, after an
absence of fifteen months from his native
land, and was given the greatest recep-
ton ever accorded any man in the his
tory of this country.
In reply to the address of welcome
from Mayor Gaynor, delivered in the
presence of a hundred thousand people
at Battery Park, MIR. Roosevelt said:
l need hardly say that l am most deeply
moved by the reception given me. No man
could receive such a greeting without being
made to feel both very proud and very humble
have been away a year and a quarter from
America and have seen strange and interesting
things alike in the heart OF the froWning wilder
ness and IN the capitals of the mightiest and
most highly polished of civilized nations /
have thoroughly enjoyed myself and know [ am
more than glad to get home to be back in my
own country, back among the people love and
am ready and eager to do my part so far as
am able in helping solve problems which must
be solved if We OF this, the greatest republic on
which the sun has ever shone, are to see its
destnieS rise to the high levels of our hopes and
its opportunities.
This is the duty of every citizen but it is par
ticularly my duty, for any man who has been
honoTed by being made president of the United
States is thereby forever after rendered the DELI
tor of the American people, and is bound
throughout his life to remember this as his
prime obligation. In private life, as much as in
public life, he must carry himself SO that
the American people may never have cause to
feel regret at having placed him at their head
These were simple yet earnest words,
that will find warm response in the
hearts of the American people and heigh-
ten, if that be possible. their exalted es-
innate of the remarkable man who gave
the patriotic sentiments ufterance. Wei

LET'S HAVE A NEW NOISE.

There has been some talk of inviting
ex-Gov. Folk of Missouri and one or two
other prominent up-country Democrats to
visit Baton Rouge and address the Louisi-
ana general assembly in joint session.
What's the use of listening to the ding
dong of one bell all the time? If cur
legislators will get rip-roaring insurgent
like Senator Deliver of Iowa or Gov. La
Toilette of Wisconsin, Or a stand pat Re-
publican like Speaker Joe Cannon or
Senator Root of New York to come down
and hand us modicum of argument
from their respective political standpoints.

Why not try the experiment? 1t won't

it might do some of US bit of good.
