4 GREAT SPEECH.

The speech of Congressman Rams
dell delivered in the court house
Friday night was one of the greatest
heard in Shreveport in many years.
Congressman Ransdelrs words
were smooth but strongly to the
point. He carried conviction with
him. He spoke frankly, with the
record as his guide. He defended
himself vigorously from the asper-
sions of his opponent, Senator Eos
ter. He charged from the record
that Senator Foster was almost as
good a Republican as Aldrlch ana
Payne. He demonstrated by the re-
cord that Senator Foster has done
very little for the people OF the
State, but much for the corpora
tons.
In brief, the speech by Congress
man Ransdell won for him those
who were undecided, and many OF
these at the close of the meeting
pledged him their support at the
primary in January next.

February % Date Not a Popular One

The New Orleans Item says: The

with popular approval from other
Democratic factions.
The answer of Chairman j. lack
Spearing of the Democratic Good
Government League to the Michel
proposition advanced by his cam
paign manager, Mr.. Edward Rightor
appears to generally reflect sentl-
ment.
The fact that Chairman J. C. Hen

not be changed and the further fact
that Mr.. Henriques was one OF the

THE LOUISIANA STATE FAIR.

The Sixth Annual State Fair Will
begin on Tuesday, October 81, and
will end on Sunday. November 5, at
night. The programme for the Fair
comprises a great variety OF amuse-
ments and displays for the general
public. The exhibits of horses, cat
lie and swine and agricultural pro-
duets promise to exceed all the dis
plays of the, past, In the main build
ing all space has been taken by ex-
hibitors. :.
The State Fair today is an instl-
tuition which is substantial and last
ing. 1t has outgrown itself and COM
mands the attention Of the whole
State.
1t is such public enterprise which
stimulates the improvements and
the betterments of all conditions.
Internationally the marked I'M
provements in cattle and swine and
in poultry and in agriculture in q
general sense may be traced to the
beneficial influence of the State
Fair.
From indications great crowds
will come to see the sights, and if
the weather should not be inclem-
emit the efforts of theetdirectory will
be rewarded in a financial sense.
1t takes money and much money
to operate fair, an dthe anticipat-

"a Quest for Justice"

Atlanta Constitution: One OF the
finest and most epigrammatic trl-
butes yet paid the late Justice Har-
Ian comes from the New York Even
ing Post, and is as follows:
"Of the late Justice Harlan it
might truthfully be said that he was
a distinguished judge who steadily
sought to live up to the ideal de-
picted in Sir Frederick Pollock 5
closing lecture IN the Common Law
the ideal, that is, of perpetual
quest for justice and a chivalrous
devotion to the law as the servant of
the general veal
If courts, as well as judges, based
their procedure on the Pollock the
0ry-the quest for law'-theFt
wuld be less quibbling over techni-
caIity and more downright adjudi-
cation of causes on their naked
merits.
Whatever one may have thought
of Justice Harlan's position upon
great legal and constitutional ques-
tions, it can not be denied that he
eleaved fact to the definition OF
duty as thus laid down. In day
when the law is involved in a jun
gle of irrelevancies, that one SEN
teHce, sthe quest for justice" SHOULD
be graved on the walls Of each Of
our courts. No judge and no eour
are likely to go far wrong when botf
follow that trail.
