ANOTHER FIRE BELL NEEDED.

The fire of last Wednesday night,
which came so near being fatal to
such large section of town, prompts
us to revive the subject, discussed
in these columns SO often before, OF
the crying need of a fire bell for the
Court House square. When the
alarm Of fire is sounded in the still
hours Of night, it is practically i'm
possible to Immediately determine
the location of same unless the fire
is sufficiently advanced to light up
the horizon, and in the absence of
information as to its whereabouts
ones natural impulse is to run to
the fire bell, thus losing much valu-
able time and energy if by chance
the confagration should be in the
lower part of town. The time and
strength thus lost might if properly
directed mean the extinction of the
flames, and the saving of valuable
property from destruction, for in
times of such peril minutes are as
ages.
Again and again has the Gazette
sounded this note of warning and
urged our Town Council to take
action in the premises. All agree
that the suggestion is good, but thus
far nothing more has been accom-
plished. We have located on the
Court House square and in vicinity
many handsome residences, elegant
ly furnished with perhaps the saw
ings Of a lifetime. The destruction
of any one Of these beautiful homes
would be disaster from which the
owners might never recover.
History recites that many great
conflicts affecting the worlds peace
and progress have been lost by the
delay Of only few minutes.
The attention of the Mayor and
Board of Aldermen is again called
TO the need of a fire bell in The
Court House square. One should
also be placed in the Price Field
addition. We trust this appeal vii
not long be in vain.

the State.
The Health Exhibit consists OF
models of sanitary buildings and

Wednesday Nights Fire.

About IL o'clock on Wednesday night
the cry of fire was sounded, accompanied
by the rapid discharge of fire arms,
quickly followed by the violent ringing
of the fire bell, which aroused our sleep
ing population, who hastily repaired to
the scene of excitement.
The fire was discovered in the cottage
of Frank Baragona, in upper section OF
town, and which was totally destroyed,
the loss being estimated at $1,000 or
more, on which there was no insurance.
The house was occupied by several young
men, who lost most of their wardrobes
and personal effects.
The origin of the fire is unknown, the
occupants becoming aware Of same only
when awakened by the suffocating smoke.
Fortunately no wind was blowing, else
the entire section of town north of the
plank road might have gone. The hand
some livery stable of H. L. Smitha 4
Co., decidedly the largest frame structure
in St. Joseph, was in imminent danger,
and but for brave and faithful work on
the part Of the volunteer fire brigade,
would certainly have been destroyed,
and even under the favorable conditions
its saving was almost phenomenal.
Too much praise cannot be given oul
people of both races for the cool and de,
termined fight waged so bitterly at the
critical moment. The owners of all prop.
critics threatened are due them debt o.
| gratitude.

GOVERNOR SANDERS AND LOUIS
IANA'S DEVELOPMENT.
New orleans PIcayune.l

Since the result of the recent
statewide primary much interest
has been felt all over the state as
to the direction in which Governor
Jared Y. Sanders, who will relin-
quish the cares of chief executive
early in the coming month Of May,
will devote bis immense energies
and unquestioned ability. In our
local columns this morning viii be
found an interview with Governor
Sanders, in which he announces
that upon bis return to private life
he will devote his time to the prop
uganda of marsh land reclamation,
the construction of good roads and
the settling upon the rich soil Of
Louisiana Of farmers from the over
crowded Middle West.
That Governor Sanders will make
a success of such enterprises no one
acquainted with bis great ability
will for a moment doubt. Jared Y.
Sanders is in every sense a big man,
big in body, brain and mind. He
is better acquainted, perhaps, with
the resources and needs of the state
than any other man in it, and not
even his bilterest enemy would think
Of calling into question his ability
and efficiency. He is highly gift
ed public speaker and a powerful
advocate. He is clear, forceful, log
ical and convincing.
Certainly no man in public or
private life is better equipped than
Governor Sanders to undertake the
exposition of the opportunities to
be found in the development of the
waste lands of the state and in the
improvement of the many natural
resources that lie dormant for want
of capital to properly improve them.
No man is so capable of preaching
the gospel of good roads and their
vital importance to the prosperity
of the whole South.
That a man of the abilities and
reputation Of Jared Y. Sanders
should have selected for his future
activity in private life, among the
many opportunities open to him,
the reclamation and population Of
the marsh lands of the state is cause
for qualification. In joining hands
with Mr.. E. L. Chappuis, a pro-
gressive and enterprising citizen,
who is devoting his talents and en-
ergies to the general development
of Louisiana's resources, Governor
Sanders has acted with wisdom and
keen foresight, as such combina-

One of the features of the Dem
onstration Train will be the exhibit
of soils to be made by Prof. Kid
der Of the Department of Agricul-
ture at the College. The various
soils found in the State Of Louis
lana will be shown in boxes and on
the lid Of the box will be shown
just exactly the analysis of the soil
and the treatment to which it must
be subjected to make it productive
to the highest degree. In plain
English viii be shown what ingre-
dients are to be furnished through
fertilization to bring each soil to its
highest standard of productive ca
pacity. This is considered one of
the most instructive exhibits on the
train and is recommended to the
attention of the farmers of the State
visiting the train. Each planter Wis
iting the train is invited to investi-
gate his particular species Of soil
and note the means necessary to
make it productive through the
furnishing of those matters in which
it is deficient and this will prove a
valuable guide to the selection of
fertilizers for that particular section
of the State.

Hay was pitful figure. He had been fine

turned him down.
For Marion Hay, Washington's IS puppet governor
could have avoided all this Aberdeen scandal months
ago. big progressive governor, In spirit with
the times would have called the legislature together
months ago, and put through presidential primary
law that would have let the people name their own

Hay can't dodge this responsibility, or lay it onto

legislature had tried to dodge the peoples demand

the people and did what his bosses told him.
Now Hay has seen the great white light. He has
seen the overwhelming sentiment of the people of
Washington declare itself, progressive in spite of
the old conventioncaucns system.
And Hay realizes that he will not have the pro-
lection of the convention plan that Taft has

So when the crisisycame at Aberdeen, Hay realized
that the steam roller methods of the standpat gang

the leaders out of it. But they interested
in winning for Taft than for Hay. Hay simply got
lost in the shuttle. -
So he left Aberdeen, denouncing the whole game.
And the progressives winked to each other and
the bosses laughed If he could square himself with
the people by denoncing the Aberdeen scandal after
it was too late, the bosses will be willing.
But it's too late for Hay to declare himself pro-
gressive. The people have seen the whole game
played out, and they know just where he stands.
