The Sugar Teat Republicans.

Homer GuardiaIpJournal: The su-
gar teat newspapers persist in ex-
cuslng our senators for aIigning
themselves with the Republicans
against the principles and policies
OF The present Democratic admins
tratlOn on the grounds that both of
the senator's pledged themselves to
the course they pursued before they
were elected. We grant that they
pledged themselves to protect sugar
and rice and perhaps lumber, but
we would like for some Of their
apologists to cite the time and place
when either of them pledged them
selves to the manufac turers to Op-
pose reduction on manufactured
goods, the clothing we wear and all
the necessities Of life except sugar,
rice and lumber. We had never
heard that they had pledged TO such
a course until the papers of New
Orleans undertook their defense
since Senator ThornLOn's speech
committed him to oppose the entire
bill on final passage and until the
New Iberia meeting. -.

BARRETT AND SMITH
Call on Bryan and Talk to Secretary
While Diplomats Wait. $751;.

AS reported in a special from
Washington August IL to the Times
Democrat: He is a rare bird who
gets in to see Secretary Bryan these
days, except on business. Lieutenant
Governor "Tom' Barrct and Senator
Leon Smith, whether they call
themselves birds Or not, are going
back home in day or two with a
record of having had a nice little
talk with the premier of the Cabi-
net, Notwithstanding the fact that
there were ambassadors and other
diplomats and such like waiting for
the ear of the Nebraska commoner.
"Tell the Secretary" said the per-
suasive Lieutenant Governor, in ef-
feet, if not in words, bending low to
the ear of Eddie Savoy, the diplo-
matte Senegambian who sits outside
the Secretary's door, that there's
an Irishman of the name of Tom
Barret, Lieutenant Governor OF
LOUISIANA, and some 1rlends, VINO
want to say good morning to him,
also tell him that they are not look
ing for any offices and have no
friends who want offices so far as
they know" Savoy, who was mes
senger for the commissioners who
made the definitive treaty of peace
with Spain based on the protocol
signed fifteen years ago today,
thought that was good enough
reason for suggesting to the Secre-
tary that he see the Louisiana folks.
When the two Irishmen renewed
an old acquaintance, the Nebraskan
wanted to know why they really
wanted to see him.
"Oh,' said Senator Smith, "our

GOVERNOR BRITO
Has Been Released from Jail on q
Bond Of $10,OO0.

It has been announced from the
Department of Justice at Washing
ton that Governor Brito has been
accorded bail in the sum Of $4,000,
which was supplied in New Orleans,
where he was being held in Jail on
several charges from Huerta.
Governor Brito has admitted that
the charges, which are true, were
political offenses and not criminal,
and the intent Of Huerta is to secure
his return to Mexico, when probably
his days would be numbered. The
arrest of Governor Brito seems te
have been a mistake.
AS Huerta has no standing with
the United States, how could his
warrant be recognized, especially
when issued against an official
whose offenses have been political?

OIL WELL FIRE
Squelched with Steam from Fifty
four Boilers S Fearlessness EX.
hibited in Discharge Of Duty.

The burning oil we'll on the
Loucks lease, one mile northwest of
Mooringsport, was squelched We'd
ensday afternoon, after having been
On fire seven days. Including the
cost Of the extinguishment, the Star
Oil Company, owners Of the we'll,
estimate their loss at about 100000.
At the beginning the flow Of oil
was at the rate Of from $4,000 to
$4,000 barrels a day. The flow is
now reckoned at from 5000 to 10000
barrels day.
The squelching of this fire tested
human ingenuity at the fullest ex-
tent, but Ed Todd Of the Standard
Oil Company, and H. A. Malet of the
Gulf Refining Company were equal
to the emergency. Their plan in
connection with William Morefield,
who suggested the T at the casing,
operated successfully, steam from
fifty-four boilers was centered on
the burning we'll. Following brief
interval, the we'll was re-ignited
from the vapor Of burning gas watt
ed by the wind to the well, but as
it was blown away, there was dis
played the great efforts at fighting
the fire which eliminated trium-
phantly.
|. III the course Of this contention
against the burning we'll there were
several exhibitions of daring and
heroism, not suggested from a sense
of yainglorious performance, but
impelled with the full knowledge Of
the danger and responding to the
demand of self-sacrifice if need be
in the fearless discharge of duty.
OF the heroes of this struggle is
mentioned Bill Parr, who crawled to
within ten feet Of the burning we'll
and who with companion, name
not ascertained, contributed mate
rally in the squelching Of the fire.
It is stated that from the begin
ming to the end the men employed
aggregated about 200, and worked
day and night, forgetting their
meals in their determined efforts to
subdue the fire. In squelching this
burning we'll is demonstrated the
power Of brain over matter. Indeed
nothing material is beyond the
reach of human ingenuity, daring
and perseverance.
There had been made a call on the
Shreveport fire department for the
use OF its chemical engines, but the
request was recalled, as the engines
were about ready to start for Moor
ingsport.
In rejecting seriously on the ig-
hitting Of this well, due to careless
ness as alleged, the hope is ex-
pressed that the greatest precau-
tions in safeguards will be provided
in the future against such disaster,
involving the loss Of thousands Of
dollars and imperiling the lives OF
good and useful men.

To Do but Wear Clothes

Nothing To Do but Wear Clothes.
New Orleans States: The claim is
made for one of the leaders of so
ciety" at a popular summer colony
that she has about sixty-five outing
dresses.
Supposedly away for recreation
and rest, she is burdened with the
annoyance Of keeping track Of an
assortment of gowns that, in num-
bers and variety, would do credit to
girls boarding school.
Poor thing. Nothing to do but
wear clothes. A butterfly without
the butterfys freedom from worry
about its coloring and down.
Did you once make the mistake Of
envying the rich? Don't repeat it,
please. Rather pity them for the
emptiness, vanity and isolation OF
the lives Of moth Of them; for the
crushing burden which their having
to live up to a socially established
standard puts upon their better ma
ture; for the barriers which their
dollars build around them to inter-
rupt and distort the natural play OF
human brotherhood.

Governor Sulzer.

In referring to the impeachment
Of Governor sulzer by the General
Assembly Of New York, the Times
Democrat says:
''All right minded men will hope
that Governor Sulzer may emerge
triumphant from the ordeal which
cenfronts him. For no right mind
ed man likes to think that the Gov
ernor of a great State would stoop
to the practices with which Mr.. Sui
zer is charged in the report of the
FraWley Committee. To use 9 per
sonal campaign fund for speculation
in Wall Street would be nothing
short of sneak thievery. TO-
And there is a special reason why
the fair minded public should re-
fuse to credit the charges against
Governor Su1zer, in the absence of
absolute proof. 1t is a matter of
common knowledge that he has
stood across the path Of certain
politicians who have long been too
powerful for the States good. These
politicians are naturally anxious to
destroy the man they put in power,
| in the belief that he would be their
tool, but who has since shown that
he was not made Of plant stuff.
AS we have said, the public
should demand absolute proof. The
practical politician is past master
Iof the art known as the frame up
And experience proves that the po-
Ilitical boss stops at nothing when
his own power and prestige are at
stake. II Governor Sulzer is shown
to have been guilty Of the perni-
cious practices charged in thu
FraWley Indictment, he will deserve
the ignominy that befalls him; il
the Governor is shown TO be inno-
cent, the bosses will deserve the
Ieomplete overthrow which mus
follow hard upon the failure Of tht

DEPOSITS UNDETERMINED.
Treasury Must Await Requests from
West Before Making Assignments.

The Times-DemoCrat Washington
special states that Assistant Secre-

| is no truth whatever in the reports
that such and such sum has been
decided upon for such and such a
city, when the government gets
ready to distribute the deposits it
will make in banks to help them
with their crop moving operations.
At the same time he pointed out
that such reports have a tendency
to discredit the treasury, which has
told all bankers that the subject
will be taken under advisement af-
tier all the bankers in the West and
South had been heard as to their
needs. The far Western bankers will
not present their views until Thurs
day, so any allotments made now
would have to be in advance Of sub
mission of the necessary data.
There is only one thing fairly set
tied. That is, that the first deposits
will be made in the cotton section
Of the country. The middle western
bankers have made it clear that
their strain will not come until late
in November or early in December,
by which time some of the money
sent south will be coming back to
the treasury. The Western bankers
have been exceedingly fair on the
subject. "

Treasury at the beginning of bust

Tho Blow a Train Can Strike.

The force Of the blow struck by a
modern train going at high speed is
greater than that of the shot from a
modern gun At least such is the state
ment of scientist who has been look
ing into this question. He estimates
that a modern passenger train will
weigh about 400 tons and that 1t
moves at a velocity Of seventy to sew
enty-fve miles an hour, or about 100
feet a second. A mass of 400 tons pro-
PEELED at this velocity will strike a
blow twice as great as that delivered
by 1000 pound shot fred from 100
ton cannon. This. he states, accounts
for the tremendous destruction caused
by collisions.-New York Press.

A Fish Story.

A fisherman caught seven bass in the
Potomac river above Washington at
one time.
This Is how he did 1t: The bass were
caught and strung on line and kept
swimming In the water alongside the

placed upon the line the entire bunch
slipped away from the fisherman. But
imagine his wonderment when at his
next cast the last fish strung upon the
line took the bait and the whole seven
were safely landed.

story is without doubt an honest and
truth telling man.-New York Tribune.
