EuIoey for Gen. cabeIl.

Little Rock, May 17.-The Texas stand
ard of the United Confederate Veterans
was brought to the platform during the
memorial exercises to-day and after the
flag had been draped in mourning, Charles
M. Meng, of Dallas, eulogized the life,
character and achievements Of the late Gen.
W. L. Cabell. Mr.. Meng said in part:
"Gen. CabeIl commanded an Arkansas
brigade at the Battle of Corinth, October
2 and 3. 1862, in which is considered one OF
the most desperate engagements OF the
war. The Federals had their positions be-
hind breastworks. Cabell's Brigade had
been ordered in support, and during the
entire day they had neither food nor drink,
holding in anxious expectation while the
Confederate firing line had charged again
and again, and fell back shot and shattered
in desolate destruction and disorder. 1t
was at that fatally belated hour, with the
field hopelessly lost, that Gen. Cabell re-
ceived orders to charge. Then Cabell
shouted to his men, as brave as ever lived,
Give your lives to your country and your
souls to Cod This one brigade, Cabell's
Brigade, made that wild and desperate
charge of death and glory, assaulting
thirty thousand victorious troops behind
entertainments, commanded by some of the
bravest generals of the Northern army. It
was at this awful tragedy that Gen. Cabell
was said to have pierced the Federal line
further than any other Confederate gen.
eral. Then shot in the breast and leg, his
boot reeking with blood, he mounted the
parapet in the face of the enemy, thirty
thousand strong, and viewed that lost but
not dishonored field
"In the passing of our honored hero there
was notable circumstance. Gen. Cabell
worshipped the memory of President JEFF
ferson Davis; was one Of his pallbearers
when he was buried in New Orleans in
1899; said that be never wanted to die I'M
til grand monument was erected in New
Orleans to his memory. The monument
was unveiled at New Orleans at p. m. on
February % Gen. Cabell fell into his last
sleep at 3 p. m. that day with these words
on his lips: Thank you, Gen. Beaure-
gard; welcome, President Davis; it is 4
O'Clock, the battle at Manassas has been
fought and won. 1t was glorious victory
for the Confederacy.' Then faint smile
and then adieu.'

people to "make promise to the ear and
break it to the faith and hope" A man
whose sole aim will be to serve his people,
and whose ear will be open to the popular
voice. We believe Gen. Thomas j. Shaffer,
the popular Commander in Chief of the
Louisiana Division, United Confederate
Veterans, possesses in an eminent degree
those qualifications which evidently fit him
for the proper discharge of the high and
responsible duties of Chief Magistrate of
this Commonwealth. He has host of
friends throughout the State who will
heartily support him for Governor if he
will consent to seek the nomination.

ment has published the Midshipman grad
yates of 1909 who, after two years sea
service, have passed examinations and
will be commissioned as Ensigns. Those
from Louisiana are: Penn L. Carroll and
Francis w. Scanland.
Shreveport Caucasian: Prohibition is
not intended to infringe on the rights or
privileges of any man, but it is directed
against the licensing of the saloon, which
is an absorber and not builder nor a
stimulator of enterprise nor progress, nor
material development, but of crime.
Lake Charles American Press: Amos
Ponder says that he has no ambition to be
attorney general. AS between the hard
worked attorney generals office at $4,000
a year and the soft and silken snap of be-
ing legal adviser to the game commission
at $1,000 year, with no campaign to &c
through and no election expenses to meet
Mr.. Ponder's choice shows more practical
level-headed horse sense than any of the
opinions he has rendered.

OUR CHOICE FOR GOVERNOR.

We need better State Government to
protect home industry and encourage and
foster the introduction of outside capital,
instead of driving it away by the creation
OF useless and arbitrary tax eating COM
missions and boards. It is we'll known that
Louisiana has not progressed as she should
with her splendid natural resources, and
we believe majority of the people want to
try an altogether different kind of an adj
ministration from the present one with a
view of inspiring more confidence, and
generally improving the situation. The
people of Louisiana are as true to principle
as any other portion of the American peo-
pie, and in this campaign they should as
sert their independence of the rule of
place seekers and professional politicians,
and select man of their choice as cam
didate for Governor. While not unmindful
of the high qualifications of Hon. John T.
Michel or Judge Lnther E. Hall, whose
names have been mentioned as candidates
for the Chief Magistracy Of this State, we
want to see the office seek the man and not
the man the office. Louisiana has an
abundance of good gubernatorial timber,
and it is not limited, as some would have
us think, to practical politicians and pro-
fessional men. Ithas been more than fifty
years since the sons OF the soil elected a
farmer Governor Of Louisiana. ssBack to
the farm" is our advice. Let us have as q
candidate for Governor man of the peo-
pie and for the people, free from all "en-
tangling alliances. A practical" farmer

The App0intive Power.

Appointive power is the bane of politics,
a dangerous temptation and subversive of
good government. 1t deprives citizens of
one of their dearest rights, places in the
way of the executive temptation hard to
resist, because few men can or will resist
the temptation to use it for the achievement
of their own ambitious ends and to reward
faithful friends; and ambition is commend
able when properly directed and restrained,
while it is perfectly natural to want to
reward friends; but the trouble is that in
rewarding friends the one exercising this
authority cares but little or nothing as to
whether the public will benefit by it or not,
so that he strengthens his own position and
reaches the goal of his ambition.
1t is a continual temptation to corrupt
Legislators and muzzle the press, and does
do it, and when this is accomplished the
liberties of the people are gone and the
country ruined. Men, without intending
to do so, often submit to being shackled, to
secure favor for either themselves or their
friends, and then have not the will power
and moral courage to burst the bonds.
The safety of government demands the
repeal of alllaws creating appointive offices,
thus removing the temptation and giving
the people the right to choose their own
public servants.-Ruston Leader.

world that partake of the nature of conun-
drums. For instance, why it is that some
people always have money for their own

have any money to pay an honest debt?
