she has also woven in undercur-

nance that 90 to make a stage
picture OF grace as well as effec-

The story has to do with the

THE ASSESSOR.

Is it not the truth recognize.
by every citizen that the assess
ments in this Parish have for
years been source Of confusion
and disappointment We are
4 not inclined to be critical of any
one. but we do contend that that
office should be IN the hands of an
efficient man well versed in the
values of property ! throughout
the Parish, and who has the cour-
age to do what is right by all
men. We believe that Mr.. Fred
w. Rauman has the requisites for
that Office in a pre-eminent man
ner.
No doubt is there that if there
were a thorough revision of the
assessments and everybody put
upon "a far and equitable basis,
that not only the basis upon
which the assessments will he
fixed will not have to be raised
but, to the contrary. that each
bearing a reasonable proportion
Of taxes would most probably ell
able "a reduction in the rate OF
taxation.
The nefghboring parish of St |
Mary is reputed to have the most |
efficient ASSESSOR office in this
territory. 1t is due to- the fact
hat the Assessor. besides being
Intelligent and energetic. devotes
vi Of his time to the work of his
,ffice, and it is conducted on bus
ness principles in the same man
Ter as any other business Of pri-
ate nature. He has equalized as
essments, put them on a basis
which reasonably produces the
evenues necessary for the Par
,h, and his services have called
or his denomination, which he
ncured without serious trouble. ..
We trust the majority Of our
oters will recognise the excel
mt qualifications Of Mr.. Bau- /.
ian for this position. and that he .
ill be. entrusted with the task
| putting the, assessments Of. !
,eria Parish on a businesslike, !,

opportunity prior to the prlmar.
election to again direct the at
tention of the voters to the i'm
portancc Of re-electing to office
George Henderson. A strong
effective Sheriff, one of whom tn,
evildoers are afraid, and whose
ability and courage have stood
all sorts Of tests, is the man le-
quired to maintain the peace and
quiet Of the community. The
best man on earth in his persona,
relations with others, lacking the
qualifications required Of a
Sheriff, would in moments of
turmoil be brushed aside and riot
could easily rage unhampered.
We have repeatedly directed
the attention of our readers to
Mr.Henderson's public record, and
it is fresh IN the minds of each.
Let us make no mistake. Let not
personal favoritism deprive tho
public of the best man for the po-
sitiOn. To vote for Sheriff be-
cause some one will receive pat
ronage, is to vote against the in
terests of every individual in a |
community.
Law and order prevail in the
community. Every fair minded !
man will admit that Sheriff Hen
derson is entitled to great credit
for the energetic share which he
took under every condition in
bringing about the present happy

consideration of his people be, {
