BACON SCORES SENATE.
Says Its Debates Like Jowlines OF
Street Corner Orators.

Washington, July Enchanting that
the senate has ceased to be a debating
body and that its debates had become
like the "jowlings of party of unor-
ganized men on the street corners. -
Senator Bacon of Georgia, introduced
an amendment to the senate rules to-
day. The new rule would prevent a
senator from interrupting another ex.
cept to ask bona fide question or
correct statement. Under any other
circumstances a senator who inter.
rupted speaker could be made to
resume his seat.

a landing ten of the Nets who had
faced him made four singles and a

six runs. This fierce fiasco put the

Poor attendance is putting a bad
crimp in the finances of the six as
sociations composing the Cotton States
League, and the officials of the organ
ixation are beginning TO wonder wheth-
er they will be able to pull through
the season withou' FORGETTING their
franchises.
Each team has an average Of about
thirty games to play, or more than
one-fourth of the schedule. At all
points on the circuit attendance dur
ing the past ten days has been exceed
ingly bad, often not large enough to
pay the $50 guarantee Of the visiting
team.
Earnest appeals are being made
through the press for more liberal
patronage, and unless good response
follows these appeals 1t will be neces-
sary TO either disband the league or
fnish the season on borrowed money.
Even at vicksburg, where the Hill
Biliiee are making runaway race for
the pennant, patronage has not been
up to expectations except at the Sun
day games. Meridian has earnestly

for the president to tell me that. He
said: Why, he sent it through Sena-

incident, but he declined to give the

Georgia, and positive announcement
to this effect, it is stated, will be Is
sued by Mr.. Terrell in the next day or
two. Should he find that such action
is required by law, it is Mr.. Tefrelps
intention to submit his resignation to
Governor Smith before the end of the
week.
Governor Smith is equally emphatic
in his statement that he will not quail

December, and it is probable that he
will decline to accept Senator Ter
rell's resignation should he present II

Two Have Deserted Hall.

The Guardian Journal says: The
esteemed Monroe News-Star already
sees defeat for Judge Hall, and has
gloomy forebodings for the erst-
while promising Monroe jurist. His
defeat is attributed to the denial of
the Bernstein letter. Our neighbor
says some of his erstwhile friends
have already deserted him, realizing
that his repeated denial, as pub
lished in the Times-Democrat, have
to say the least of it, lessened the
respect they once had for him. The
opponents of Judge Hall have spent
much time worrying over this letter
and have dragged the state as II
with a fine-tooth comb in search OF
Hall desertePs on account of this,
and the only ones reported are a
New Orleans politician by the name
of Hellwig and probably Jim Bailey,

MINISTER IN POLITICS
As a Good Citizen He Can Not Neg
lect His Dues to the State and to
The People.

Mansfield Enterprise: The ring
masters of Louisiana politics are
whining earnestly because Rev. DR..
Lawrence of New Orleans, a power
full pulpit orator, has seen proper to
discuss political subjects, both in
and out of the pulpit. They have
raised the cry even in the country
districts that a minister should not
take any part in politics. However,
they should remember that no man
can be good preacher without be-
ing a good citizen, and that no man
can be good citizen and neglect his
duties to the state and the people.
The preacher as great moral agent
is bound to oppose fraud and cor
ruption in every form and wherever
found, and there can be no better
field than in politics. Take the
preachers out of politics and the
prohibition cause would collapse at
oEce, the Sunday law would vanish
as if by magic, and all moral legis-
lation would be abandoned.
The preacher is great moral
power, and when he ceases to strive
to promote moral laws, he will have
overturned the cornerstone of re-
ligion. Preachers get wrong some
times, but it would be great wrong
for them to cease altogether to
strive for the right, and for the up
building Of mankind. The preacher
when he goes into politics does so as
La man, and it is by no means that
the church has been brought into
politics. The whiskey element, now
supporting the ring candidates, are
braying loudly because the preach
|ers are against fraud and threaten to
laid the people in depriving them of
their public fodder but during the
Shreveport whiskey election they
were loud in their praise of every
degenerate preacher that would say
Ionything in their behalf. No, the
preacher should fight and vote, just
as they pray, that honesty, justice
i and right may prevail.

JUDGE l.. E. HALL
Letter to the Era CIub-HiS Attitude
not Defined.

The New Orleans Times-Democrat
of September 13 says: Lacking two
of a quorum, the Era Club could
transact no business at its meeting
last evening at Tulane University,
but there was some interesting in
formal discussion INDUCED in espe-
cially with regard to the letter OF
Judge L. E. Hall, candidate for gov
ernor, indorsed by the Good Govern
ment League. Judge Halls letter
was reply TO the query of the club
as to his position on the woman's
suffrage question, in which he de-
clined to bring it into the present
political issues. He said that he was
representing a party pledged to
overthrow machine rule in this State
and to establish government OF the
people, for the people, by the peo-
pie. He said all other matters were
subordinated to this one thing just
at present, and he did not think it
wise to create any division in the
ranks Of the Good Government
League by declaring himself on the
subject of woman's suffrage.
Those members of the club who
expressed themselves last night were
unanimous in their desire to see the
Good Government League realize its
aims, but they differed with Judge
Hall as to his wisdom in withholding
his personal opinion on this subject.
No answer to the letter was decided
upon last night, but it will be an
swered, as others on this subject
have been answered
There were two other letters from
candidates, one from E. O. Bruner,
who thought women should be given
the ballot, and another from l.. r.
Graham, who was opposed to women
voting but thought they would make
acceptable members Of the school
boards.

Official PartiSanship.

Ii is conceded that every individ-
ual in his personal or in his of1icia
capacity-if he be an official or al
officer of the LAWS free to express
his views on private or public ques-
tions within the limits of legitimate
criticism.
In the exercise of this prerogative
the official or the officials should be
more conservative than the citizen
| Indeed, the official should be more
reserved except in cases when he
may have been injured or is being
criticised without warrant.
His recourse in such instance is
plain.
From the Caucasian's view, it is
not becoming to any official to fight,
OF criticise publicly and on street
corners or anywhere in public, the
acts or measures which may be fav-
ored and advocated by citizens of
the community.
HItOl dll, JlIt OlllCldlS dl
the creatures of the people to whom
they must be accountable.
This is the very essence of Dem
|ocracy.
1t is the people who rule by ma
jority, and not the officials.
Whenever any official may reach
the point when he assumes to criti-
else without warrant, and to object
strenuously to any measure being
advocated by the people which is
not strictly to his liking or his no.
ton, such official has unwittingIy,
perhaps, come to the parting of the
ways. He may resign.
This is what is styled official par
tisanship, which may become often
sive to large number of the people,
who, under the system of govern
ment by commission, may recall the
officials who may not be in full ac-
cord with the people, their policies
or the measures they advocate and
favor for the good of all the people.
