The Cheek of the Roosevelt Party.

The great independent Republican
newspapers of the country agree
that the Democrats, by their nomi-
nation at Baltimore of Woodrow
Wilson, have checked the progress
.of our modern Attila. They have
helped themselves, and they have
also come to the rescue of the eeun-
try. As a matter of fact they have
done what President Taft and the
Republican party could not do, for
they have taken the wind out OF
Rooseyelt's sails and nullified his
new third term adventure. 1t is gen
orally understood that the main
spring of Roosevelt's conduct in the
recent pre-conyention campaign was
hatred for Taft, but his chance for
revenge has been destroyed by the
Wilson candidacy, and any votes
that Roosevelt might attract would
not be the votes that would go to
Taft.
The Democrats have not only
chosen the strongest candidate.

Primary Election Day

Times-DemOcrat: The Louisiana
State Central Committee has fixeC
September 3 as primary day for the
choice of candidates for the Offices
Of Justices of the Supreme Court
judges of the Court of Appeal, clerk
Of the Court of Appeals of Orleans
parish, railroad commissioner, etc
This will make it a statewide elec-
ton, and it is natural to presume
that all the other candidates who
are to be nominated by the primary
will also be voted for on Septem-
Der 3. 1t would be utterly absurd to
have two. separate primaries held
during the same month, as both will
have to be called some time in Sep
TENDER.
Several of the congressional COM
mittees have already decided to hold
their primaries for the nomination
Of candidates for representative on
the day fixed for the general pri-
mary, and all will unquestionably
do so.
The Supreme Court nominations
show condition of affairs that has
never before existed in Louisiana
and is never likely to arise again. All
The Supreme Court districts except
the third, now represented by JUS
tee Provosty, will hold primaries
and elections this year. This is con-
tfary to what the Constitution and
the constitutional amendment MAX
ing the justices elective intended,
the plan being to so select them as
TO time that the court would be con-
tlnuous, and a majority would never
go out and their successors be cho-
sen at the same time. The death of
Justice Nichols and the resignation
OF Judge Hall to take the position of
Coy efnor have disarranged the pro
sfamme, and three vacancies will
have to be filled on the
same day.

Hunting for

LEoNA JOHNSON.

Mary and Edward were two very
poor little children. and on Christmas
they thought Santa Claus would not
SO they went out on Christmas eve to
hunt for him. and to tell him their
troubles.
Very steadily they trudged along the
cold biting their poor feet and hands.
When Edward gave Mary's dress a
pull that tore it. and said in a whis-
per, There he is!" and Mary looked
up and saw the old gentleman, who
smiled at the two children, and asked
what they wanted.
Mary quickly pulled her old shawl
over the rent place In her dress. and
said In her most pleasant tone: "Please.
Mr.. Santa Claus, we are looking for
you. You did not come to our house
last Xmas, so we concluded you did
not know where We lived, 80 we came
to tell you It is No. Dickson street.
in the dark alley. Please come to see
us for we are very poor and I'M
happy"
Having delivered herself of this
speech she burst out in fit OF crying.
but she soon revived and Santa Claus
said he would be sure to remember.
Then he went away. and the children
returned to their home In the dark
alley. You may be sure Santa Claus
did not forget them then. Or every at
ter, and on Xmas day those two
children were as happy as birds, and
God looked on them and smiled.

Certrude's Christmas
in the Country

Gertrude lived In the city. where
the houses were crowded and there
! was no room for chickens and ami
mails.
She left home two weeks before
Christmas. When she arrived at the
station her grandfather and Cousin
i Robert met her with the horse and
buggy. 1t was a pleasant day. so. OF
course, she enjoyed the ride and
scenery immensely. When she got
there grandma was waiting to see her.
1t was the first time she had ever
been in the country. SO, of course,
everything was strange. She didn't
know what to make OF SO many
chickens and cattle.
A few days before Xmas she and
| Robert decided to go out and gather
evergreens and see II they could md
an Xmas tree. While they were gath
! ering evergreens, what do you sup
pose they saw? A little old man with
a long beard and jolly red cheeks!
Why. 1t was Santa Claus. They hid
In the bushes and watched Santa. He
got several trees and jumped IN his
sleigh and rode off. After they had
gathered all the evergreens they
wanted, they went and told grandma
about 1t. Gertrude thought 1t was
awfully funny that you made all your
Xmas tree ornaments. Exmas Eve
they went to bed bright and early,
bat they found 1t hard to go to sleep.
About o'clock they heard sleigh
bells ringir., so they kne wit was St.
Nick. They waited till he had gone,
and then jumped up and dressed.
They found many nice things in
stockings. Xmas they had a regular
old-fashioned dinner. Gertrude agreed
that II was the best Xmas she had
ever spent.
