AS a result Of the general adoption
of the "sane and safe" Fourth Of July,
the number of deaths from accidents
on the national birthday this year
show falling Off of nearly 80 per cent
from former anniversaries. Hereto
fore nearly $4,000, 900 a year has been
spent for fireworks, but this year this
amount was greatly diminished. Let
the good work continue.

1t has once again been 'definitely de-
cided" that the explosion of the battleship
Maine was from the outside. This comes
as no news to the reading public OF our
nation. While not actually known, this
has been the persistent belief ever since
1898. The thing most desired in the mind
of the American public, and always upper
most in connection with this great disaster,
is to fix the blame-the guilt. 1t is a
popular belief, and always will be, though
perhaps will always remain improved, that
the battleship was blown up either by
some Spaniard or Cuban. The public
mind is inclined to the latter belief, be-
cause just what resulted-war between the
United States and Spain-is what the Gu
bans wished to see and what Spain wished
to avoid. That's why one would feel
inclined to lay the crime at the door of the
Cubans and that's why it is no doubt true

Mr.. Michel, the rings candidate for
Governor of our State is spending this
week in North Louisiana. AS one would
feel inclined to believe from his past record
and his recent campaigning. his excursion
into this part OF the State will result in
making a number of votes for Judge Hall.
That's why we are inclined to doubly well
come Mr.. Michel. The Monroe 1ndepend-
ent in it's editorial columns naively re-
marks: cit is said that Boss Michel is a
very effective campaigner for Judge Hall
in North Louisiana, making votes for the
reform leader wherever he appears. 1t is

didate not measuring up in any par

kept as prisoners in the House of Deten-
ton. which is not at all suited to them and
was never intended for them, while the city
is put to the expense of providing for the
insane because the Legislature refused to
provide enough money for the charaties OF
the State. Other charitable institutions
also failed to receive the proper aid; and
a careful examination will disclose that the
State could not provide for its insane and
sick and others dependent on it, because
of the greed of the politicians, and because
the money was needed in other lines,
where it would do more practical good in
politics.
Another measure which met with defeat,
or rather with destructive amendment
through the interference of the Governor
and the ringsters, was the bill allowing the
voters of the Louisiana towns to decide
whether they wanted to have commission
form of government or not. Shreveport
wanted this government and got it, but the
ring members from New Orleans, Baton
Rouge and Monroe, who were strong sup
porters of Gov. Sanders, were afraid OF the
people and succeeded in excepting those
three cities from the provisions of the act.
No more undemocratic action was possible
in Democratic Legislature than this
the Genial to the people of New Orleans,
Baton Rouge and Monroe of the right to
say what sort of government they wanted.
It is the only case, we believe, in the Union
where any towns or cities were excepted
from the provisions of a beneficial and
democratic measure-in order to stifle the
voice of the people and keep the ring in
office against their wishes.
This, of course, is only small part Of
what Sanders did in defiance of the Con-
stitution, of democratic principles and
against the will of the voters, in overriding
and intimidating the Legislature, and in
violation of his promise not to interfere
with that body. We shall probably heal
more of his high handed actions in this
matter as the campaign progresses, anc
the members of the late Legislature fee
that they can speak out on the subject ane
tell what they know and saw of Sanders
autocratic methods at Baton Rouge.

Lack of Moral Perception.

From the Lake Charles American-Press.l
Out of the maze of moral accusation and
denial regarding the participation of Mr..
Michel in the Frellsen land deal, involving
the notification of the McEnery scrip
titles, the following facts stand out promi-
nently:
Mr.. Michel, his chief clerk, Mckinney,
and the latter's father-in-law, j. D. Fish
er, entered into the deal to the extent of
900.
At some time subsequent, either because
his conscience hurt him, as he says, or
because he saw that the scheme had blown
up, as his opponents assert, Mr.. Michel
dropped out.
In his own statement, Mr.. Michel says:
''The statement made by Mr.. Frellsen
that sought an interest in the partnership
is not true. Mr.. Mckinney, Mr.. Fisher
and Mr.. Frellsen had previously agreed
upon and formed partnership, as stated
by Mr.. Fisher in his answers to the ques-
tons submitted to him, and, on my going
to Baton Rouge, Mr.. Mckinney, purely as
an act of friendship, rendered me an inter-
est as an additional partner.
'Shortly after, upon reflection, decided
that it would be inexpedient for the. State
to repudiate its titles granted 80 many
years before, and with the consent of the
other partners, withdrew and reassigned
my interest to them"
''Inexpedient," in these circumstances is
distinctly good. What the Frellsen syndi.
cate meant to do, and would have done sc
if successful, was to confiscate the prop.
erty of lot of innocent holders who de.
pended upon the good faith of the State
Whether Mr.. Michel requested to be 'le
inn or whether he was ''invited in," it is
uncomfortable that he did not know wha
kind of a scheme he was putting his money
into.
The fact that Mr.. Michel, while occupy
ing the most profitable office in the com
monwealth, could even contemplate per.
petrating such an injustice on the property
holders is sufficient to make him unworthy
of public trust and confidence, no matte
how long or how short the period of con
seems to think that the fact that he did no
profit by the transaction is sufficient to ex
cuse him. He lacks the moral perception
to understand that the intention to engag,
in such an enterprise, no matter how sool
or for what purpose it is discarded, is suffi
cient to condemn him.
With Mr.. Michel's peculiar moral stand
ards, had he been Governor at the time
the Frellsen confiscation would have re
ceived the Governors signature and tn
property holders attacked would have beef
dispossessed. Only the firm stand of Gov
ernor Blanchard at that time prevented it
consummation. No other evidence thai
this is needed to prove that Mr.. Niche
should not be made Governor of Louisiana
