The White Lake Deal.
le Lake Charles American Press.


The Monroe News-Star Makes the fol-
lowing comment: 'From what we can
ascertain, Mr.. Michel was the victim in
one land purchase. He bought and paid
for what was supposed to be sea marsh,'
when. in reality, it was solid body of
water, from five to ten feet deep, and COW
ering many acres"
The records in the matter of Mr.. Michel's
purchase and subsequent sale of White
Lake in Vermilion Parish are such that it
cannot be dismissed with feeble attempt
at POPULARITY.
On July s, 1902, the Governor signed an
act raising the price of the lowest class of
State land from II : cents to Is cents an
acre. The act went to the Secretary of
State for PRONUNCIATION and was duly pro-
mulgated, after which it became law.
On July 18th, three days before the law
was promulgated, Mr.. Michel entered 3d.
$50 acres of fresh water, from six to
twelve feet deep, paying 121a cents an
acre for it. The State had no right to
part title with navigable water, but the
area comprising White Lake appeared as
unclassi6ed, and Mr.. Michel procured aft
davits that it was "sea marsh, subject to
tidal overflow, and upon this representa-
ton it was transferred to him.
A few weeks later Mr.. Michel sold White
Lake to one William H. Moses and the
Lichtenstein- Hechinger Canal Company
for 25 cents an acre, thereby pocketing the
neat profit of 81 ,393.75. There is still a
question whether the State could properly
sell White Lake as State land; and Mr..
Michel cinched his profit on the deal by
giving no warranty with the deed. But
the fact remains that the Legislature had
already raised the price of sea marsh land
to Is cents an acre; the Governor had ap-
proved the act; and the only thing needed
to complete the formalitie was Mr..
Michel's PRONUNCIATION of the law. By
failing to make the PRONUNCIATION until
after he had secured the land, Mr.. Michel
received S4,393.75 in profits that would
have gone into the treasury of the State
1t cannot be claimed that the canal com
pany would not as willingly have paid %
cents an acre to the State as to Mr.. Michel
because the latter certainly did not dc
anything during the few weeks he held
title to make White Lake more valuable.
The above facts are taken from the
records, and they speak loudly for them.
selves. A column of comment could moi
make them any stronger, and they cannot
be dismissed with levity. Whether it was
''land'' or "water" that Mr. Michel &C.
quired, it seems rather clear that the State
of Louisiana lost the concrete sum oil
81 393. 70 in the operation.

Associate Justice John Marshall Harlan,
for third Of century member of the
United States Supreme Court, and the
senior of that august tribunal, died at his
home, in Washington city, on the 18th.
The Baltimore (Md.) Sun says of him, he
was Comparatively very poor man in the
matter of money but multimillionaire in
honor and esteem" He was born in Ken
lucky June 1, 1888. He has been con-
spicuous character since 1859, when he
was Wing candidate for Congress. His
greatest ambition was to be Chief Justice
of the United States, which was thwarted
by President Taft. He served temporarily
in that capacity following the death Of
Chief Justice Fuller on July 4, 1910, until
President Taft elevated Edward Douglass
White, Harlan's junior, to the highest sea-
in the judiciary.

THE RING IN THE CITY.

There has recently Deen FURNISHED az
sclute proof of registration frauds in the
city of New Orleans. The revelations
have been made by canvassers OF the
New Orleans organization of the Good
Government League.
The next move was made by the city
bosses, whose proteges had the two can
vassers arrested on charges OF false
swearing and lodged in Jail. Bail was
finally secured and they were released.
The league organization then produced
Photographic proofs, which were facsimile
copies of the fraudulent registration ap-
plications, and showed where one man, who
had been out of the city for some months,
was registered under his own name in
another precinct. The real registration
and the fraudulent one were reproduced.
The signer of the original pronounced the
other as forgery.
This is but an illustration of what des-
perate straits to which the bosses and their
henchmen have been driven, and to the
reflective reader it furnishes food for
thought.
The Registrar of Voters in Orleans is
Mr.. Billy Ball. He is product of the
ring and the rings ready tool. If he is
such, and the fact is notorious, why has
not Governor Sanders removed him from
office. Is he under obligations to the
ring, or does he expect further favors at
its hand?
This looks to be true to the outside OBJ
server. Also, when Governor Sanders
was elected United State Senator by the
General Assembly it was charged that he
later resigned the place because he was
driven to do so by the bosses, they fear
ing Mr.. Lambremont as his successor.
Mr.. Lambremont might have removed Mr..
Ball, the obliging Registrar.
See it, reader?
The truth is, that Mr.. Sanders is not
only under obligations to the ring, but ex.
poets further favors at its hands, and also
fears it. Mr.. Michel is the rings candi.
date for Governor, so the very transpar.
ent conclusion is that the ring, and Mr.
Sanders, and Mr.. Michel, and Mr.. Bal
stand hand in hand.
See it all, don't you, reader?
There is no way to tell how long thi
padding of the registration list in thu
Crescent City has been carried on; there il
no way to learn to what ends it could AM
would have led. Ballot box stuffing ha
been the bosses stock in trade in that cit,
for years. 1t has placed many corrup
and more corrupt hireling in office. 1t ha
been rampant in all quarters. But, thank
to our lucky star, the organization an
workers of the Good Government Leagu
are abroad with their sharp sticks an
that corrupt city's registration list is bein
as thoroughly purged as is possible, bu
: the fight against it is unrelenting.

TWO YOUNG HEROINES.

Two telephone operators, both very
young women, helped to save many lives
in Austin, Pa, when the Bayless dam
broke Miss Lyons sat by her switchboard
in Austin. after she had been told that the
flood was approaching, sent the alarm
which set mill whistles blowing, and called
up many residents of the town in time for
them to escape with their lives. She also
sent two warning messages to CASTILLO be-
fore her wires we're damaged. Miss
Binckey, another operator, warned all per-
sons she could reach, and held her post
until she had barely time to save her own
life.
That's the kind of stuff that it takes to
make heroines. Both these young ladies
were no doubt keenly aware of their i'm
periled position, but they were loath to
desert their posts of duty and in their
magnanimity of soul they wished to warn
those in the path of the oncoming flood
who must suffer loss of property, limb OF
life. Their action is commendable and
worthy of general emulation, and it is tc
be hoped that these two young women, sc
feeling and unselfish, suffered no ill as 6
consequence of their sacrifice. They are
deserving of every recognition and the
lasting gratitude of the survivors of thu
flood,
