HE DESERVES A
VOTE OF THANKS

The more we think about it the
more we are impressed with the
splendid work and remarkable sue
cess of Col. Thomas j. Appleyard
the veteran secretary of the Florida
Press Association, in landing that
big gun, Vice President Marshall to
address the association at its annual
meeting at Fort Myers next month.
Colonel Appleyard made trip to
Washington for that purpose and
that he could induce the second Of
ficer of the United States govern
ment TO lay aside the cares of office
and perhaps other important en-
gagements (for Mr.. Marshall is in
frequent demand) and make long
journey down to South Florida after
the winter tourist season is over,

HENRY sMY1nE.

The death of Mr.. Henry Smythe,
which occurred in New Orleans last
Sunday night, was a great shock to
our entire parish and the sympathy
OF our entire people is extended the
grief-stricken family.
Mr.. Smythe was a young man::o
great promise, a civil engineer. of
recognized ability and a man of
great strength of character, who
numbered his friends by the score,
and who was loved by all who knew
him for his generous nature, his
manly character and fidelity alike
to friend and duty. The son of the
late Mr.. John Smythe, the distin-
guished engineer and polished gen.
tleman, he was indeed the worthy
son of an honored sire, and his sud-
den taking at the noon-tidelof life
is a.blow 80 staggering that its eff
fects will long be felt by his family
and intimates, and in whose hearts
his memory will be green long after
other recollections have paled.
Deceased was never married, max
ing his home under the paternal
roof and devoting his entire affec-
ton to his immediate household.
The remains were inferred i'm the
family lot in the Natchez cemetery,
followed by sorrowing concourse
Of friends and relatives.

NON. WALTER ELDER FOR CONGRESS-.

We take pleasure in again ad.
vocating the denomination of the
Hon1. Walter Elder for Congress.
The great trouble with the South
and her influence in the National
Congress has been the fact that we
change our members too often. No
sooner does a man become acquaint-
ed with Washington and the ways
of Congress than he is put aside for
some other aspiring candidate, and
thus is lost the work of several years
and the new Congressman has to
begin at the beginning to properly
equip himself for his Congressional
duties.
In Mr.. Elder we have an efficient,
careful and painstaking Represent
alive, and while, as member of the
lower House, he has cast our vote
on several thousand subjects, includ-
ing the various schedules of the
tariff bill, yet his opponent, the
Hon'l. Riley j. Wilson, has only
been able to pick out three votes,
cast by Mr.. Elder, for criticism.
That his opponent can only find
three votes out of several thousand
to criticize, speaks volumes for Mr..
Elder, and we doubt very much if
any member of Congress can show
a better record. Mr.. Elder is
young man of great ability, deeply
appreciative of the honor which has
been conferred upon him, and deter
mined to make good, and undoubt-
eddy will if given fair opportunity;
if given just the same opportunity
that has always been accorded the
Representative from this District
q second term.
We sincerely hope the voters of
Tensas will turn out in full strength
on next Tuesday and cast their bal
lots for the Hon'l. Walter Elder,
and We predict that the course of
that gentleman and his record in
Congress will he such that no man
will roget that vote.

Comfortably ensconced in the Newell

The management has requested the
Gazette to announce that the celebrated
reel showing the Battle Of Gettysburg
has at last been secured and will posi-
lively be shown next Tuesday evening
al . clock Tor benefit of any who may
not care to go out at night or who may
wish to attend church. The picture will
also he shown at the usual hour, 8 o'clock.
the time consumed in its exhibition being
about an hour and half.
This is considered one of the greatest
pictures that has ever been thrown ON
the curtain and is practically as realistic
as II the great struggle were being enact
ed again before the eyes of the spectators.
As Is well known to all Southerners.
the Battle OF Gettysburg was the decisive
engagement OF the great conflict known
to and revered by us as the Lost Cause,
and caused the "Stars and Bars" TO 90
down forever tho in glory at Appomat
tox. 1t is the belief of many that had
longstreet attacked Mead's Division be-
fore daylight, as was Gen. Lees plan.
Cemetery Ridge would have remained in
our hands and the tide of battle gone
against the Federals, Which would have
caused the restlessness of the North, then
80 general, to solidify in determined ap- ,
p'als to Congress for peace, and the Con-
tederacy would have been recognized by
Me world.
The Battle OF Gettysburg was certainly
the greatest ever fought on this hemi-
sphere. This engagement was participant
ed in by the Tensas Rifles, than which
no better command ever followed the i'm.
mortal StOnewall Jackson! The Tensas
Rifles formed a part of wing which
attacked Cemetery Ridge and so terrific
was Pickett's charge that the breastworks
were reached and the enemy driven pack |
but rallied when reinforcements came up |
and soon recovered the heights which the !
Confederates, thus over-powered, could |
not longer hold.
The time will be well and probably |
spent in seeing this picture next Tuesday |
evening at 6 o'clock and at night at 8 |
o'clock.

IT'S UP TO you, COUSIN BOB.

Democratic newspapers all over
the State and especially those in
the Third Congressional District have
repeatedly called upon the Honor
able Robert +. Broussard. member
Of Congress from that district and
our United States Senator-elect, to
answer the s. o. s. signals which
have been sent out from the district
and come to the assistance of the
Democrats in their desperate strug-
gle against the Bull Moose enemy,
but up to date the Congressman
has failed to respond.
/ But few men i'm the State have
been honored by the Democracy of
the State as has Congressman (Sen-
atorelect) Robert F. BrOussard. He
was elected by the people. the Dem
ocrats, of the Third Congressional
District for eight or nine consecutive
terms as their Representative in the
Lower House of the National Con-
gress, and now that his old friends,
the people who SO honOred him with
their friendship, their confidence
and their votes, who made him
Senatorial possibility, the stalwart
Democracy of the Third Congress
sional District are facing a fight for
Democratic supremacy, they call
out to him for help, but so far have
called in vain. Can it he that the
Third District Congressman,-the
Senator-elect-will remain silent to
the last? Will he turn deaf ear
to the cries of those who have been
his starlwart friends in the past?
What ties the tongue of our distin-
guished Senator-elect? Why is he
silent? Why does he not hearken
to the cry of distress that has gone
up from every section of his dis
trict?
1t is up to him to at least give
some explanation for his silence,
else there are those who might at
tribute his silence to the fear of in
iuring the chances of his brother to
secure the Progressive nomination
in the Third District, or some might
even imagine that the Senator-elect
is sulking in his tent because the
Democratic nominee for Congress in
the Third District was his opponent
OF two years ago, and it is even pos
sible that there are some, who might |
go so far as to believe that the Sen
ator-elect' has already changed his
political faith, and is in truth what
his political enemies during the last
campaign said he was, and that is,
anything but Democrat.
Whatever may he the reason for
bis silence, he owes an explanation
to the Democracy of this State, and
an explanation should he made by
him, and not by the Louisiana High
Priest of the Progressive party.

CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS.
No 1..Act No. 81

Under the law as it stands to-day
all Banking Associations or Corpor-
ations are required to pay a license
tax in proportion to the Capital and
Surplus of the Association or Cor
poration. Thus Banking Associations
or Corporations domiciled outside of
the State of Louisiana but having
an office or agency in this State are
subject to the same license tax as
are Banking Associations or Corpor-
atoms domiciled in this State.
The above amendment provides
that where Banking Corporation
or Association domiciled outside of
this State.
The above amendment provides
that where a Banking Corporation
or Association domiciled outside of
the State or i'm a foreign country
desires to establish an agency i'm
Louisiana for the purpose of lend
ing money or dealing in bills of ex-
change (but accepting no deposits),
then such Association or Corpora
ton, shall only be liable for the tax
proposed in this amendment, to-
wit: $4,000 per annum to the
State and a like sum to the parish
or municipality, and 2 1-2 per cent
of its gross interest earned to the
State and like sum to the parish
or municipality.
If this amendment is adopted it
will enable the banking institutions
of France, Canada and other coun-
tries to establish agencies in this
State for the purpose of lending
money or buying and selling bills
Of exchange (but not to accept de.
posits), thus bringing into the State
foreign capital to assist us in devel-
Oping the vast natural resources of
our State. We sincerely hope that
all of our voters will support this
amendment.

Amendment No. 2..Act No. 81

The above amendment proposes
to exempt from taxation all money
in hand or on deposit and also to
exempt from taxation loans made
by Homestead Associations. to their
members secured by stock in the
Association.
Money in hand or on deposit is
now subject: TO taxation Just as is
your horse mule or cow, but as
money is so hard for the Assessors
to find or locate, but little of the
vast amount of money in hand or
on deposit in this State ever appears
upon the assessment rolls, therefore
the article of our Constitution which
taxes money in hand or on deposit
might just as we'll be repealed or
amended. If this amendment is
adopted by the people hundreds of
thousands of dollars now locked up
in safe deposit boxes will come to
light and be deposited in the banks
of this State, thus adding hundreds
OF thousands of dollars to the money
now available for the development
of our industries and resources.
Life Insurance Companies which
loan money to their policy holders
on the policy as security are exempt
from taxation, 30 why should we
not extend the same exemption to
Homestead Associations which loan
money to their members with the
stock of the Association as security.
This is a good amendment and
should receive the endorsement Of
our people.
