Ad0Iph Guill0ry for the Police
Jury.

We Inadvertently omitted to
even give to Judge Guillory the
customary editorial notice when
he first announced his candidacy
for the Police Jury, First Ward,
and we take pleasure in doing so
at this time.
Judge Guillory was the Magis-
trate of his ward for ten years
and it's constable for two years.
During all that time he has held
the confidence Of his constituents,
his long term of service being
the best assurance of that fact.
He was for four years a member
of the Police Jury, and his care
full attention to the interests of
the public and his devotion to
duty during his incumbency Of
that Office will doubtless make it
easy for him to secure reelection
to that body.

The Judge of the 10th Judicial

when he ran for councilman or

votes. In that election there
was no prohibition nor parish

ran then on his merit. This can

Free Wool.

Press dispatches say that some
of the Democrats in the house are
insisting upon having tariff on
wool, If there is any such pro-
tectionist sentiment among the
Democrats the sooner it is brought
to light and combatted, the bet
ter.
If the Democratic party can be
scared by few sheep growers it
might as we'll renounce its advoca-
cy of tariff reduction and make an
alliance with the Republican
party. Protection IS protection no
matter whether it is asked for the
benefit of manufacturers or for the
benefit of farmers and a man who
believes in protection is worse
than worthless as a tariff reformer.
Ii his heart is set on protecting
somebody ne Will soon learn that
protectionists must stand together
aud then he is afraid to touch the
tariff anywhere. Without free
va tariff reform will not amount
to VIZ ,uch for the spirit that would
lead congress to tax all the farm
ers (and all other citizens) who
wear wooden goods in order to
give a tariff tribute to the few
farmers who raise sheep will con-
sent to other tariff exactions until
tariff sreform will be little more
than farce. The Commoner.

Innocence is Innocence.

The labor union officials who
have been whisked from their
homes across the continent by
private detectives in the pay of
private corporation, for trial in
distant place, and in such a
manner as to prevent their appeal
ing to the courts of their own
State for lawful protection, are en-
titled to the presumption of in-
nocence. And Innocence is In
nocence, even il "Murder is MUIR
DER" But Mr.. Roosevelt does not
seem to think SO. 1t was he, by
the way, who threw the weight of
Presidential influence into the
scale to create public opinion
against those Colorado labor
leaders who were similarly kid
naped by private detectives en-
ployeo by private corporations,
and who upon trial were after
wards acquitted In the same
spirit as before, Mr.. Roosevelt
now denounces labor unions for
coming to the defense of McNa-
mara. In signed editorial in
The Outlook under the sinister title
OF "Murder is Murder, reproduced
broadcast over the country as
part of the campaign for creating
public opinion against the pre-
sumption of innocence in McNa-
mara's case. Mr.. Roosevelt an
ticipates the trial with his own
verdict of guilty; for this is the
spirit and effect of his one-sided
editorial. The idea of creating
public opinion in favor of the
prisoners horrifies him; but he
contemplates with angelic calm
the nation wide campaign for
creating public opinion against
them To demand of labor lead
ers that they denounce in the alb
stract the crimes with which these
friends of theirs are charged is an
insult. No one approves crime
by defending unconvicted men,
Perhaps these men are guilty.
We don't know, and Mr.. Roose-
velt says he doesn't. But we do
know, what he ignores, that under
our laws the presumption OF their
innocence should hold good until
their guilt is proved to the salts
faction of fair jury at fair trial.
The friends of the accused men,
who, know them, and from their
knowledge of them believe them
innocent, have q better right to
try to impress public opinion with
that confidence, thereby prevent
ing the presumption of innocence
from having all vital meaning
squeezed out of it, than Mr..
Roosevelt or anyone else has to
foster public opinion in support of
a presumption of guilt.-Chicago

The Proxy Vote.

Mr.. Percy Werner's plant seems
to have merit. He says that the
theory that women exercise their
franchise through the male mem
bers of the family, and the in
fluence they exert upon these
same male voters, puts him at a
great disadvantage. He claims
that when he goes to the polls to
vote for his wife, his mother and
his mother-in- law, some bachelor,
who does not support family
nor do his duty to society in the
prevention Of race suicide, ,nullifies
his three extra votes.
This is just complaint. The
contention that women are repre-
sented at the polls by their male
relatives-when they have any
is no doubt made in good faith by
men who believe in equity. They
would probably be willing to have
the Constitution SO amended as to
make this representation fair and
practical. They would probably
be willing to give every married
man, or every man supporting
adult women, as many votes in
addition to his own as he has
adult women whose franchise he
is supposed to exercise.
This would confine the selfish
and sinking bachelor to his own
vote, and give the man who is
upholding society by supporting
several women, as many votes in
fact as they say he has in theory.
To be sure, this does not pro-
vide for the independent, self-sup-
porting woman, and she is the one
who most needs and would most
freely use the franchise. But here
again is the beauty Of the plan.
She would have to get Doarried in
order to have her vote go by proxy
into the ballot box.
This would bring equal pressure
W. Nh +. -. y
upon her and the selfish bachelor,
and they might agree to agree, and
thus new families would be Great
ed, new homes would be estab-
lished, and the twin evils Of bach
elors and bachelor girls would
receive q death blow. This would

Imperialism.

The rottenness of the adminis-
tration in the Philippines was
fully exposed in speech in the
house of representatives by Rep
resentative James L. Slayden of
Texas. The condition there is
what every man of common sense
knew it would be in a colony situ-
ated 5000 miles from the seat of
government. As an instance of
the way the looting is done, and it
is only one of the many similar
cases, a nephew of the Philippine
secretary of the interior was sent
out under pay to hunt for new
bulbs. He didn't find any bulbs
but he found $500 acres of land so
situated that by building small
embankment the whole could be
flooded as often as desired, making
it the most desirable land for rice
raising in the islands. He prompt
ly rented it of the government for
fifty years for 10 cents an acre.
Scores of other employees have
been enriching themselves after
the same fashion. Such has been
colonial administration in all ages,
and there is no means of redress.
If a new set Of officers were ap-
pointed there would be no change.
The whole thing is robbery and
a wrong. In other words it is
imperialism.--S Joseph Observer

TALE OF TWO POOR NEPHEWS
Each Tried to Please the Rich Old
Uncle, Who Then Made
New VIII.

There once was rich old uncle
who had two poor nephews.
And when Christmas came the two
poor nephews were anxious to show
the rich old uncle how much they
thought Of him.
Now the first poor nephew reasoned
that he should impress his rich old
uncle with the great affection he bore
him by some tangible means. So he
drew out his savings and purchased
for his rich old uncle magnificent
gold watch, and had 1t neatly en-.
graved. To it he attached a gorgeous
chain, put the whole affair in a Law
lshly decorated box and sent it to his
rich old uncle with his best wishes.
The second poor nephew figured
that any extreme financial outlay
would convince his rich old uncle that
he was trying to jolly him a bit too
much, SO he invested nickel in a
neat but tasty Christmas card, which
he mailed to the rich old uncle
So the rich old uncle received the
two remembrances and said of the
first nephew:
"Humph! A man who will spend
all he has for gold watch to give to
man who already has all the watches
he ever will need hasn't got enough
Judgment to be trusted with money
will leave him my blessing and few
words Of good ADVICE.
When he looked at the card he nod.
ded his head approvingly and said
There's a man after my own heart

pensive Gift and he knew that would
value his good wishes, so he very
wisely sent them to me in this mex
pensive manner. He shows marked

his money to found an institution for

Another Dead Letter.

The Tacoma Ledger amuses its
readers in a recent issue with a
description of how Washington's
new antitreating law works--or
fails to work-in Tacoma.
Two men enter dramshop and
one of them asks the bartender
for drinks for himself and his
companion. The bartender points
to new legend, ono treating al
lowed" and shakes his head.
However, the purchaser may
ask for a drink and a cigar (the
cigar being for his companion) /,
and Immediately his friend can
purchase a drink and a cigar
and thus each has treated the
other, and each has obtained a
drink, which he wanted and has
obtained a cigar also, which
neither may have cared for par
ticularly.
Still the law has been kept ac-
cording to the letter, and as far as
it possibly can be, though in fact
it has been made void.
When it is remembered that a
law is, first and last, about the
most expensive thing community
ever acquires-that States
statutes represent sum of money
equal in value to the cost of the
Statehouse, the salaries of legis-
lators, and the fees Of lawyers who
are employed to prove, on the one
hand, that the law has been violat-
ed, and on the other, that it has

encouraging so-called reformers
in their absurd activities becomes
apparent.

which it can be put--old age pen
