The request of Mayor Baier Of Ba'
you Sara that owneS should keep
their live stock off the levees is one
that should be needed without delay,
and this not only for the sake OF
the levees, this being a supreme con-
sideration, but for the safety Of the
animals themselves. There have
been geyeral accidents to cattle al
ready, and while it may be incon-
venient to keep stock up at this
time, it is an obvious necessity

The statement appearing in a New
Orleans evening paper, last week,
relative to the governments force
working on the brickyard levee at
Bayou Sara may possibly lead the
public to think that work was done
on private enterprise. Such was
not the case. Likewise the state
ment that the brickyard could not
fill orders on account of being flood
ed The Company can fill orders,
and is working to keep it's levee in
shape. Seepage water and the heavy
rains have put the yard in condi'
ton to lead one to suppose it in bad
shape.

We must admit that The True
Democrat feels initiated with itself
on being "scooped" last week in
this interesting piece of news, par,
ticularly as it is the elimination Of a
trained nurse romance" of which
there are so many happy examples.
Miss Sandoz attended DR.. Daniel pro-
fessionally several years ago, during
a severe illness, and we suspect lit
orally cap-tivated him then. She has
since been frequent guest of the
family, by whom she is much admir-
ed and beloved.
DR.. and Mrs. Daniel reached home
Friday and were welcomed at an in
formal, but most charming reception
at the homeI of Mr.. and Mrs. Austin
Daniel. DR.. Daniel is a prominent
physician and citizen and his many
friends rejoice in the happiness thai
has fallen to his lot.

The first thing he did was to look the party over
carefully to satisfy himself that there spies

suspicion.

~How DO You know they are going to fight Spaniards,"
They told me 50 IN New York, and they told me |

Why Not Wilson,

The American people want q presl-
dent who has had executive expert
ence and made good at It, Governor
Wilson is such n man.
The American people want n presl-
dent who has no trust affiliations TO
explain. Governor Wilson meets this
requirement.
The American people want a presi.
dent who will help scale down that
hoary old fraud of the tariff. Cover
nor Wilson will be such president
The American people want n presi-
dent who respects the constitution and
who knows that this nation can make
progress without destroying the con-
stitution. Again, this describes Gov
ernor Wilson
The America people want a presi-
dent who is free from entangling al
liances with seekers OF privilege. Ev.
cry privilege seeker in the land is op-
posed to Governor Wilson.
The American people want a presI-
dent who is free and able to serve the
people. the whole people, and only the
people. Governor Wilson is the only
presidential candidate who meets that
requirement
Why not elect Woodrow Wilson?

vice-president OF the United States,

his home here.
While his physician, DR.. Fayette II.
Peck. believes there is no immediate
ianger of death. yet the distinguished
PATIENTS condition Is such that Il is a
matter OF conjecture how much long.
sr he can withstand the ravages OF
the disease with which he is afflicted.
Or. Peck authorized this statement
'egarding Mr.. Sherman's Illness and
his present condition:
"Mr. Sherman has been sick all OF
his year, due TO the condition of the
Kidneys, hardening of the arteries
and softening of the muscles OF the
heart, which are somewhat stretched.
MIR. Sherman had IN attack in the
Adirondacks, nj Big Moose lake, and
| expected him to die. He got out OF
Big Moose and improved steadily and
satisfactorily until the latter part of
August. Since then his condition has
been aggravated and he has been
steadily falling.
For the last three weeks, since
he came back from Connecticut where
he went TO rest, he has been dressed
only once and that was week ago
Friday, When against my protest, no
went out to the polls to register
mfr. Sherman is Tow in the condl
ton which that sort of trouble leads
to, and is very seriously ill., but there
is, believe, no immediate danger OF
death"
