GHOSTS ROAM IN BELLEVUE
Dsli6htfRl HALLOWEEN Party Given by Miss
Beatrice Smith.

West Bellevue, Nov. IA very
delightful and muchly enjoyed affair
was the halloween "Ghost Party
given by Miss Beatrice Smith at her
beautiful home in West Bellevue last
Monday night. A large crowd from
Bellevue and 0pelousas we're present
and each was CARRIED in "ghostly1
garments and assumed the name of
some departed soul. Many weird
and mysterious make-ups we're dis
played, and in the guessing contest
as to who's who, and why" none
were able to name more than a very
few of them, SO mysterious were
the ghosts"
All the ghosts" and witches
performed their parts we'll with the
exception Of Mr.. Percy Smith, the
wizard Of bug-a-boo land, who per-
formed not. He said he was afraid
of ghosts and could not venture
near for fear Of being carried off.
His heart is weak, which is a sure
sign that Percy is in love.
Many enjoyable games were In
dulged in and delicious refreshments
were served. The cutting Of the
fortunate cake was a feature and was
participated in by all present. The
ring was discovered by Mr.. Leo
Guilbeau, the dime by Miss Bea
Smith, and the thimble by Mr.. Harold
Dunbar Gust watch Ted darn
Along tward the wee sma' hours
the ghosts, fearing the APP
proach Of day, began to depart, with
misgiVings and mournful sounds that
the forces of the coming day should
so rudely intrude and proclaim chat
twas time for all ghosts to depart
TO the spirit world.
Those present we're: Misses Myf-
tie and Pearl Evans, Cora Phillips,
Mamie and Julia Walker, Florence
Phillips, Agnes Smith, Bessie and
Perla Savoy, Willie Hedgespeth, Ilta,
Electa and Louise Smith, Anna Bor-
ing, Dora Boyd and Bernice Smith;

Republicans Feeling Gloomy,

Graf.
Crat.

New York, Oct. 31.-With the
Democrats confident that their entire
state ticket will be swept to victory
by an avalanche of votes, the like of
which has not been known in q gen
Grafton, and the republicans practi-
cally conceding the election of Dix
and the possible election Of the en-
tire democratic ticket, the campaign
Of 1910 today enters upon its final
week, with every Indication that it
will have a picturesque, if not sensa-
tional finish.
No campaign like it can be recalled
BY local politicians. Conditions are
reversed, and that fact has led some
Of the reliable prophets Of former
years to predict a victory for dem-
ocracy. Hitherto the republicans
have had the advantage Of a strong
up state machine and all the money
they wanted. This year the demo-
Gratis have a militant organization III
every county and for the first time IN
many years a real dough" bag. They
are working without let up.
On the other hand, the republicans
are meeting obstacles on all sides.
and their gloom is plainly written
upon the faces Of the campaign man
ayers and reflected in their CONVEX
sation.
The prevailing odds are 2 to | in
favor Of Dix, with no Republican
takers.

LA FOLLETTE,S CARTOONS.

Senator LaFollette may dislike
President Taft as much as he disliked
Theodore Roosevelt when that great
progressive was president; he may
think it to his personal political ad-
vantage to array himself against Presi
dent Taft as he once hogan to array
himself against his predecessor.
But it is not of the legitimacy or
illegitimacy of such course on the
part of Republican senator, avowed
ly progressive, that we wish to speak.
but of one of the methods which Sena'
tor LaFollette employs in his attack
upon President Taft.
In the current issue Of La Toilette s
Magazine there is a cartoon which
represents the president of this nation
in a manner that is not only untrue
and unfair, but essentially vulgar
offensive and disgusting
1t is not in a political or partisan
spirit that we would criticise this
cartoon. We criticise it purely from
the standpoint Of good taste, decency
and patriotism.
Leaving the false impression which
it is meant to convey out of the ques-
ton, since that is part of the
senator editors political game, it must
be a matter of extreme regret to all
decent citizens that one of the state S
highest officers should indulge in the
public representation Of the nation s
chief as a sloppy, wallowing, vulgar
clown.
It would seem that the least thing
that a people can expect of rep
resentative who processes the high
ideals of Senator La Toilette is to set
an example in gentility, refinement
of feeling and patriotic respect for the
high Offices of the government.
Cartoons of the president, such as
his magazine has purveyed, lower the
tone of the whole nation, breed dis
respect for authority in the young and
irresponsible, and in certain aberrant
souls instill the germs of anarchy =
