Give Us a Rest.

''An Old Confederate" writing to the
Shreveport Times from Monroe says:
"As a reader of your paper for sixteen
years, we feel justified in asking favor at
your hands. Will you request the man
agement of the Associated Press reports to
give us rest on Theodore Roosevelt and
his family. We ask this in the name of
the late president who is now an honored
and worthy private citizen, and who must
view the spirit of toadyism as weak spot
in American civilization. This also applies

Referring to the effort of some of our re-
form Legislators to abolish the burdensome
system OF, Board Attorney sinecures, the
New Orleans States says: The repeated
failure of these efforts of the people to se-
cure relief from needless burdens should
not be forgotten when the time comes to
elect officers again. 1t is pertinent for them
to inquire in this connection whether or not
the number of lawyers in the General As
sembly is not out of all proportion to the
necessities of the situation, and whether
that fact may not have some relation tothe
impossibility of abolishing sinecures and
consolidating attorney employing public
boards. It is quite certain that no relief
can ever be expected from this intolerable
situation, until the people shall take the
matter in their own hands and exact OF

THE RIGHT MAN IN THE RIGHT PLACE

Tuesday Gov. Jared Young Sanders OF
Franklin, st. Mary Parish, was elected
United States Senator to fill out the unex-
pired term caused by the death of Senator
S. D. McEnery by the following vote OF
the General Assembly: In the Senate
J.Y. Sanders, 81; Robert F. Broussard, OF
New iberia, now congressman from the
Third District, 1. In the House.. Z.
Sanders, 90; John Dallas Wilkinson, OF
Shreveport, 12; R. F. Broussard, 4. Total,
Sanders, 1923; Wilkinson, 12; Brousard, 5.
Absent, II.
When formally declared elected United
States Senator Gov. Sanders, in an able
address, said in part: "When in the: course
of time, take the seat in United States
Senate to which you have called me, my
every effort will be for the interest of the
people of louisiana. Their interest are my
interests; their hopes are my hopes; their
ideals are my ideals; their aspirations are
my aspirations. Never will | do aught,
knowingly, save for the material welfare
dIu lllOICl duFdICCuCit Va OuA otOSN
that we all love so dearly
Some time before Congress meets in De-
cember, and as soon as the affairs of his
office can be arranged and his desk clear
ed, Gov. Sanders says he will resign the
office of Governor and accept that of United
States Senator.
Speaking of the election of Senator
Sanders, the New Orleans Picayune, one
oil. the ablest and most conservative Dem
ocratic papers in the South, in an editorial,
says in part:
''The Picayune approves the action oi
the Legislature underall the circumstances
and will give to the young Senator all the
applause and support that may assist him
in making record up to the high mark
of United Senator for Louisiana. The
Picayune believes that in view of the grow
ing Importance of the National Congress,
and particularly the Senate, it is neces-
sary for the State to put her ablest men
there and keep them there as long as they
can fully serve the best interests of hel
people and reflect honor and dignity or
her. This is the conrse pursued by many
great States, and as result their interests
are always guarded, because those inter.
ests are put in charge of statesmen, anc
not mere politicians"
The Banner believes with the Picayune
that Senator Sanders will "fully serve the
best interests" of the. State-ably, faith.
fully and zealously, and that he will prove
to be the right man in the right place.

DEATH OF COL. r. H. LINDSAY.

Col. Robert Hume Lindsay of Shreve-
port died in Baton Rouge last Friday
morning, where he was attending meet
ing of the State Confederate Pension Board,
of which he was member.
Col. Lindsay was born in Montrose,
Scotland, in 1882. In 1851 he left Scot
land, and during the same year he went to
Shreveport, where he was employed in a
drug store owned by John W. Morris, who
died of yellow fever during the fall of 1853.
During 1856 or 1857 he quit the drug store
then owned by William B. Miller and
Thomas H. Morris and was employed in
weighing cotton and clerking in large
cotton warehouse on the levee, where he
was engaged at he commencement of the
Confederate War. He assisted in the or
ganization of the Caddo Fencbles. Enoch
Mason, foreman and assistant editor of the
Shreveport Democrat, which had suspended
publication few years before the war, was
elected captain of the Fencibles, and R. H.
Lindsay third lieutenant For gallant and
was promoted to the rank of captain, then
to major and finally to lieutenant colonel
of the Sixteenth Louisiana Infantry, hav-
ing command of that regiment and serving
as such until the surrender at Meridian,
Miss. May II, 1866.
In the death of Col. Lindsay Shreveport
has lost one of its oldest and most honored
citizens. He was gentleman of high
personal character, ever courteous and
courageous, modest and unassuming in his
demeanor and answering in his allegiance
to what he believed to be right.
