g ATRodAN HORSE.

We. publish elsewhere in these
columns an admirable communica-
ton to the New Orleans Picayune
from the pen of Hon. Hugh G.
Cage, Of New Orleans, which should
be read by every white man in
Louisiana.
Mr.. Cage was one of the leaders
Of the Citizens League, which in
1896 elected its city ticket in New
Orleans in opposition to the Regu-
lars.
As win be remembered this con-
test in the city resulted in a large
vote being cast for the Republican
candidate for Governor, Captain
Pharr, and it was expected that
many of the members elected to the
Legislature on the League ticket
would vote ito go behind the re-
turns" and seat Pharr. Fortunate
ly Mr.. Cage and other able and pa
triotic men like him refused to de-
sert their party and their race and
the great disaster to Louisiana was
averted.
Mr.. Cage points out in clear and
forcible language the evils that
would follow any interference with
the present election laws Of the
State in the direction of bringing
back the negro into politics.
We fully sympathize with the eff
forts Of the citizens of New Orlean
to obtain better government. W.
are entirely without sympathy TO
the city bosses--their personalit.
and their methods. But they ar
white men and must be beaten b.
the votes Of white men, or not a
all.
If there are not enough goo'
while men in New Orleans to defea
the Ring it must stay in power
The government which it gives tn
city is better-far better-than an
government can be which has 70
its basis a majority made up by th
votes of venal and corrupt negroes
The "non-partisan" vote propose
in the Commission government bi
may be but the entering wedge t
destroy the fabric we have erecte
after 30 many years of labor an
suffering. We must take no chances

and not too much hope should be
wasted on the far future. Everything
comes to them who wait, but wait
ing is a wearing process. Our peo-
pie must be up and doing, fighting
their own battles, but accepting with
thanks such assistance as may be
vouchsafed them. 1t is hoped that
the fair proportion mentioned in
the Taft platform means something
liberal. -Picayune.

THE TAFT PLATFORM AND FLOOD
PROTECTION.

The party platform adopted by
the Taft Republican faction present.
ed nothing beyond the well-known
expressions Of the platform Of 1908,
with the exception of the following
in regard to protection from the
foods Of the Mississippi River. 1t
says:
The Mississippi River is the ma
TONS drainage ditch. Its food Wa
tiers, gathered from thirty-ore States
and the Dominion of Canada, con-
stitute an overpowering force which
breaks the levees and pours its tor
rents over many million acres of
the richest land in the Union, stop
ping mails, impeding commerce and
causing great loss of life and prop
erty. These floods are national in
scope and the disasters they produce
seriously affect the general welfare.
The States unaided cannot cope
with this giant problem, hence
we believe the Federal Government
should assume a fair proportion of
the burden of its control so as to
prevent the disasters from recurring
foods"
1t will be seen that it is proposed
that the National Government shall
only assume fair" proportion Of
the burden of protecting our low
lands. win any other party or fac
ton do more? From forty years in
the past the State Of Louisiana had
carried for long time the whole
of the load Of its food flight, but
in 1882 the National Government,
through the Mississippi River Com
mission, "lent handn and gave
considerable assistance.
The ardent hope, however, that
the National Government viii take
upon itself the entire burden of con-
tending with the excessive waters OF
the mighty continental river seems
to have little prospect of realization.
1t is not to be expected that the
Democratic Party, which has adopt
ed as its watchword, Cutting down
appropriation" viii do more than
the Taft platform promises. As TO
the Roosevelt movement, that seems
too near death to be considered in
the premises.
This is nothing more nor less than
was given ont by Senator Elect Rams
dell, who is too well acquainted with
the subject and with the temper of
many successive Congresses to allow
himself to be carried away by the
excitement Of the moment.
Louisiana viii continue to be
forced 10 protect her lands and peo-
pie il the near future % IN the past.

Laughter Not Contagious

XIHY was this?" one of us asked the other as we
w moved away. And, casting minds relevantv
to the heacr audience came to the conclusion that
the laughter of one in a crowd was intrinscaly
provocative of feeling in those about him not Of mrth
but of startled curiosity. Human nature is such that
unless its emotion is exactly at least very nearly the
same as the emotion of its neghbor in the sight and
sound of the episode, 1t Immediately becomes suS
piciOus of the other fellow.
That is, if Bill and Gus go to play together and it.
at a certain sad episode, Bill sniffes, while Gus. only
smiles each forthwith begins to think something is
wrong with the other. Bill will look at Gus and vice
versa Bill thinks it strange that Gus was not affected
by the sad scene and Gus, having seen laccordng to
his own dca something silly the sad SITUATION thinks
it strange that Bill didn't it and smile Human
ture wants its ncghbOr to be as much Ike It as Is posi-
bic And So when man laughs and the rest Of the
audience doesn't the rest of the audience, instead Of
following the laugh lead Of the man, wonders what the
matter with him.
We hate to bring in any registered and recorded
science to prove our point-we didn't know, IN fact
science supported us until years after we had dOped
the little problem out for OurSclveS-Out you VIII Ind
in the authoritative works psychology such state
ments as the following, which We have quoted from
Titchencr's "Outlinc Of Psychology
Laughter consists of certain play Of feature and Of
series OF long inspirations each Of which followed by
number of abrupt expirations. II occurs ad1 me most

feytain acute pains No explanation which has yet been
offered is entirely satisfactory.
With this wide variety Of the intrinsic basis or nature
or motive of laughter, 1t IS no wonder IS H. l me rest
Of the audience which has not felt like laughing at the
