Colorado Springs, Colo. Aug.
80. Louisiana is strongly repre-
sented among the summer visi-
tors in Colorado Springs, Mani

Id full representation. It is esti-
mated that there are nearly 100
Louisianans here who attended
the picnic, and the Louisiana
badge was everywhere conspi-
cuous.
". q. Scurtlef represented
Louisiana on the program, MAX
ing a splendid address on that
great state, and telling why so
many people from Louisiana are
making Manitou their summer
home.
The picnic was given by the
town of Manitou in honor of the
thousands of summer visitors
who are spending the summer in
the Pixies Peak Regiou, and was
the occasion for much wholesome
state rivalry, in which Louisian-
ans did full justice to their state.
There have been so many Louis
ianans here this summer, that
the formation of a Louisiana
state. club has been discussed,
and it is probable that another
year will see a fourishing organ

A particularly noticeable
feature Of the season has
been the large travel by
automobile, and it is no in
frequent sight to see a machine
bearing a license tag from New
Orleans or some other Louisiana
city in Colorado Springs or Man
itou. THE roads between Colo
RADIO Springs and Louisiana are
in good shape said a Louisiana
auto enthusiast recently. And
this, in a measure accounts for
the popularity of auto travel
from the Southwest to the noun

has driven many to your cool

BOOSTING HALL BE
HIND ~FALSEHOODS

Editor The Clarion:
Under the caption Exploiting
the Farmers Union" and signed
at the bottom "A Member of the
Farmers Union, " one Of the rank
est fabrications we ever read
appeared in the Times-D Democrat
of Friday August Is, 1911.
This Fabricator, writing in the
Times Democrat, refers to the
publication of Hon. John T.
Michel's platform in the Far
mers Union Messenger, July 10,
1911.
In publishing this platform,
the Messenger did no more than
many other newspapers in Louis
lana, and a number of said news
papers published it, no doubt,
without a decision as to whom
they would support for Governor,
and the writer in the Times
Democrat shows in his article
that what hurt him more than
the welfare of the Farmers
Union, was that the platform
5F= -. a. -
published was not that of migrate
Halls, but Mr.. Michel's.
The article, written by "A
Member Of the Farmers
Union" !? ? and published in
the chief organ of the Goo Coos,
bears the ear marks of inspira-
ton by that political faction, and
SO far as we are Individually con-
cerned, we are like the man
from Missouri as to the Fabrica-
tor being "A Member Of the
Farmers Union, and even if he
is, has not any member of the
Farmers Union as much right to
support Mr.. Michel as the writer
in The Times Democrat has to
use the columns Of a Hall paper
in denouncing the Farmers Union
Messenger and boosting the can
didate Of his choice behind false
statements concerning the Mes
senger?
Doubtless, that Member Of
the Farmers Union ? writ
ing from New Orleans is not
even a subscriber of the Farmers

Union Messenger, and much less,
active in upbuilding unionism
among the farmers; otherwise he
would not falsely accuse the
Messenger because it published
Mr.. Michel's platform and in the
same breath boost his candidate
through a newspaper known to
be the organ of a man who has
! proved himself ungrateful to
those who helped him get the
Supreme Court Judgeship for IL
years at $4,000 a year. and had
the Messenger published Halls
platform this Member Of the
Farmers Union" ? ? would
have remained as silent as the
grave.
In conclusion, we care not
whether this self-constituted
criterion of the Farmers Union
Messenger is "A Member of
the Farmers Union" ? or
any other union, whether he is a
Democrat, Republican, or Social
ist, whether he is large or small
in stature, whether he looks
viscious or pleasant; we unhesi-
tatingly brand his assertions
that the Farmers Union
Messenger is Exploiting the
Farmers Union as a malicious
falsehood, Matched by a brain
crowded with visions and sur
misses as to the course The Mes
senger intends pursuing, and
we invite him If he is not a sub
scriber to The Messenger (and
we do not think he isl to secure
a copy Of this weeks issue and
read what the Executive Council
of the Louisiana Union say con-
corning such bush-whacking
statements as the Times-D Demo-
crat contained from "A Member
Of the Farmers Union" ? +? q

HIPPO'S SNFEzE CAUSES
The COOK To FALL
OVERHEARD.
Big Animal Was Being Brought
to Zoo in This Country.

New York, Aug. &c. Scared
by the sneeze of a hippopotamus
being imported for a menagerie,
Max HarWet, cook ON the Presi-
dent Lincoln of the Hamburg
American Line, fell overheard
in mid-ocean. The steamer was
stopped and the cook rescued.
The actual cause of the acci-
dent was a big chunk of well
ripened Limberger cheese, which
Harwet threw into the pen in
which the hippo was confined.
The animal snapped it up, gulp-
ed it down, then began to roar.
The first sound from it's caver-
nous mouth, the frightened cook
jumped backwards, tripped on a
crate and slid under the rail in
to the sea.

faithfully carry u TIE uGcldFa-

to honoring and taking care of
the gallant Confederate Veterans

established a claim on our graft
tude and bounty which no other
demand, however imperative it
may be, should be permitted to
supercede. They should be
gratefully honored and generous
" provided for in their declining
age. That has the ring Of true
ness. No buncomb's hot air
this. It is no empty meaning

lawyer talk. No flies on Mr..
Michel who, in manly, inequivo-
cal language, pronounces him
self the unqualified friend of
our just dues, as bending under
the weight of years-in the
shadow of the unalterable-soon
we must answer the last roll call
on earth, to meet the legions of
Lee and Jackson over the border,
at rest in the life beyond. Then,
old friends and comrades, one
and all, ere we go, shall not we
once more meet in one common
accord and give three cheers
and a tiger for John T. Michel,
the friend Of the veteran, the
plain brave spirit of honest deed
and true instinct, who declares
in plain language what he will
do for us should he have the
good fortunate to be elected Gov

what he says. Of I'M

as a citizen and State official, his

A REQUIEM TO The FALLEN
Old Lafayette Confederate Soldier Sings to the
UnWept, Unhonored and Unsung

The following article, written
by a Confederate Veteran in the
Lafayette Gazette, is peculiarly
striking in force and truth.
Here is the article:
To pose as a reformer-who
needs most to be reformed him
self-is the modifying spectacle
now presented to the people of
Louisiana by doughty Judge Hall,
standard bearer for the good
government league interests in
Louisiana. After pretty fair
sailing for a time, 10 and behold
the Bernstein letter incident puts
Machine No. 2 to grief though
still in embroyic life. What an
inglorious agony for Mr.. would
be reformer? Thus, the path of
glory oft leads but to a political
grave. Such is life, to such peo-
pie as seem to think that they
must be something they are not,
on occasion, forgetful that never
was there greater mistake. Hy-
pocracy never ranks high in the
minds of men. Indeed, and why
should a man be ashamed of his
mistakes. Don't we all make
mistakes? If the Judge had
simply owned up that he
once had affiliated with the
Machine and its vice Governor
in particular, but had repented of
his evil way, and had broken
away from these! Alas, the
Judge can scarcely realize how
interested and encouraged other
sinners, who have been making
the same mistake, would have
been to find out that a man like
Judge Luther E. Hall, from
Monroe, had been a sharer in
their weakness and errors and
had taught them a way out Of
their mistakes and sinful ways,
taught them to abjure the
Machine"
Tt is possible to believe that
the Judge thought, to be popular
he must be i~nsincere, profess to
be other than he really was?
why not a man mean what he
says, and say what he means,
and be respected and trusted for
it. A man cannot pose for long,;
he is going to be found out sure
as a guns made Of iron, and
thenceforth he sinks in the esti-
nation of all mankind, to- depth
greater than il he had not tried
to elevate himself by false pre-
lenses. AT best, say and do
what you will, assembling is
any way you look at it.
Right here is a good time to
contrast the two men: Mr..
Michel says: Should / have the
rood fortune to be elected Gov
,rnor, it viii be my purpose to
