ator Foster, and we believe none will prove
truer to that trust
Senator Foster is not without enemies.
Only weak and colorless man could have
passed through the storm and stress of
Louisiana politics during the past quarter
of century and escaped them. But few
Louisianians will agree with the Lake
Providence paper that cit is time Foster
and his kind were put on the shelf
Senator Foster had mans part in the
legislative history of the Reconstruction.
He was member of the Constitutional
Convention of 1879. He served many
years in the Senate and was the gallant
and courageous leader in the great fight
which began in the Legislature of 1890 and
ended in 1892 with the destruction of the
Lottery and his own election as Executive.
For eight years he filled the Governors
chair and, though they were eight years of
political storm, they were also eight years
of sound, prudent and economical admin
istration, during which the State prosper
ed, education advanced, the levee system
improved. public institutions we're ably adj
ministered and more than 81, 900, 900 of the
public debt was retired.
And at the end of his term he was chosen
to represent his people in the United States
Senate by unanimous vote-an honor
that has rarely come to any Louisianian'
By many of his people Senator Fosters
conspicuously brilliant and successful lead
ership of the anti-lottery cause will be
regarded as his strongest claim to the office
for which his name has been suggested
We do not underestimate the value of that
service. 1t deserves further manifestation
of the esteem and affection of the people
of Louisiana.
But we believe Senator Foster has even
higher claim to the collectorship. It is
the fact that, beginning life poor man
he is about to leave it poorer than when he
entered the Executive Office twenty years
ago. Throughout his public career he has
held honor above price-he has been true
to the traditions of his people-and, how.
ever men may differ as to the measure o.
his public services, they cannot fail tt
acknowledge his lofty conception of the
dignity and obligations of the great offices
he has filled and the scrupulous honesty
with which he has discharged the trusts
they imposed.
We have not infrequently differed with
Senator Foster on public questions, but WI
should be wanting in appreciation of thu
quality of his service to his people ane
particularly of the example he has set t.
the youth of the State in his rugged adhe
sion to correct principles in public life i
we did not take this opportunity of dissent
ing from the view of our Lake Providence
contemporary.
1t would be both handsome and de
served recognition of Senator Fosters IN
faltering devotion to duty and the Interest,"
of his people if the Louisiana delegation
Senators and Congressman, united in al
appeal to President Wilson to give him tn
highest Federal office in Louisiana.

luck 10 trying to obtain a position at
even fair salary. Though there was
no joke in the continual disappoint-

experience. The manager OF place
whose advertisement she answered told
her that the salary paid at first would
be So week. that by the end OF the
year it would be increa sed to 50. while
by the third year she would receive
the magnificent sum of $40 Mechan-

went out. Apparently she had made a

MACON, Oct. 22.-When Nick Will

hand, is placed on trial for his life
at Grays in the Jones County Su-
perior Court tomorrow, he will plead
that in killing his former employer
James King, he acted under the hyp-
note influence of Mrs. Katherine
King, his victims wife.
Il am going to show the jury" de-
clares Attorney John r. Cooper that
just as Cleopatra fascinated so great
man as Anthony and caused him to
throw the world away, so did this wo-
man, the wife of another man, attract
and dominate a guileless and sus-
ceptible farm boy"
1t will be further pleaded that Mrs.
King had threatened Wilburn with
the loss of his own life if he did not
Kill James King. Attorney Cooper's
only hope, as he frankly confesses, is
to save Wilburn's neck.

because she was intimidated by
threats and violence, did she acqui.

Conley's testimony became the
subject of heated discussion i'm
mediatcIy on the reading Of the
tenth reason of the defense. In
this il was argued that the court
had been in error in denying the
motion Of the defense to strike
out all of Conley's testimony in
regard to the alleged perversion
Of the defendant on the ground
that it was immaterial, irrele-
want. illegal and highly pre-
judicial to Frank.
Dorsey Scores a Point
The Solicitor was instant with his
objection to this being one of the
grounds for the arguing of new
trial He contended that this motion
by the defense had not been made at
