St. Charles Plays First
Football Game.

On last Sunday afternoon st.
Charles sent forth on the grid
iron its first representatives
against the All-Star team of La
fayett. The game, which was
witnessed by a large number of
both teams proved interesting
from beginning to end. The
stars of the game were Terry
Roy and Nash of Lafayette and
Steve, Escalenta, Vandegear.
Troy and Young for St. Charles.
Playing a splendid game for
three quarters the light st.
Charles eleven finally gave way
to the heavy players from La
fayette allowing Roy to tear
through the line for a touch
down four minutes before the
whistle blew for the end of the
game.
There were at least thirty

Freight Train Wrecks.

Thursday afternoon a freight
train switching on the Southern
Pacific tracks, was wrecked.
While switching the coupling on
the engine broke, allowing some
twenty unloaded cars to be rush
ing down an incline. When the
last empty car hit the gravel on
Landry street, the empetus given
it by the other cars made it jump
over the road and crash into the
warehouse, formerly owned by
the Jacobs Dietlein Grocer Co.
The building was not injured.
but the car was minus the two
front wheels, which were pulled
completely off when the car as
cended the street, which is about
three feet higher than the track.
The street was blocked for a
few hours, otherwise nothing
serious was caused by the wreck.

THE GOSPEL TRUTH.

SINE of the papers over the state
are quoting this expression as the
final word Of justification OF Mr.. Rye
but there is no record of Senator
LEAFS having established a church,

of salvation. -Nashville Banner.
The Banner is right that there is
no record of Senator Lea doing the
things it refers TO, but there is a
record that he has done more to rid
Tennessee Of the blight Of the sal

HON. |. D. HILL.

Whatever opinion one may enter
tain as to the candidate or platform
of the democratic party of Tennessee,
all good citizens can commend the
stnte committees selection of chair
man. The election Of Hon. L. D. HILL
of White county, to that position, is
INIT another evidence Of the desire for
party regeneration. Mr.. Hill is a
lawyer of ability, citizen OF char
acter and a gentleman in every sense
of the word. He will do his very
hest to administer the duties OF his
position so that 1t will reflect credit
upon the democratic party and the
state. II is fine thing when men
like Lew Hill are willing to serve
their party in places that require
much labor and sacrifice for the mere
sake of the public service that they
NAV perform. There are several gen.
tlemen of splendid standing at nome
and Of recognized devotion to the
cause Of good government IN the
membership of the state committee
who win no doubt help Mr. Hill to
Justify the confidence Of the people
In party rehabilitation.

ISSUE IN THE PAST.

The Tennessee edition of the New
Republic, organ of the .Anti.Saloon
league Of the state, expresses gratiff
cation that all political parties in
Tennessee have declared for the
prohibition laws. 1t expressed the
belief that majority Of both OF the
parties in the state favored these
principles, but it urges the enemies
of the saloon to show vigilance in
the electing Of men to the state leg
islature, which is entirely proper.
1t is noteworthy fact, however, that
the Anti-Saoon league as an organi-
cation does not question at all the
qualifications of the Democratic
candidate fer governor nor the sin
cerity of his platform. 1t speaks in
the highest terms OF Gov. Hooper;
nevertheless it commends Gen. Rye
also as man who has record on
law enforcement. All this indicates
that the liquor Questlol as an issue
is closed. The Anti-Saloon league,
under the leadership of Dr. H. B.
Care and Supt. w. r. Hamilton,
has shown great ability in the con-
duct Of the temperance movement
and the antisalooA league Is non-par-
tisan and non-political, and with all
parties thus pledged to what It stands
for, naturally it is not disposed TO
take sides. It is a significant fact
that while the Nashville Banner has
endeavored to pick flaws in the
Democratic platform this organiza-
ton of the opponents of the saloon
does not find anything to criticise.-

WASHINGTON, June 16.-Secre-

with interest amounting to $26O,OOO

TOLL EXEMPTION REPEAL.

With the passage by the senate OF
the bill to repeal the tolls exemption
of the Panama canal act President
Wilson has achieved the third dis
trict triumph of his remarkably sue

really the browning glory Of HE ten

WASHINGTON, June 13.-Only
President Wilson's signature is neces
sary to repeal the clause of the Pana.
ma canal act exempting American
coastwise shipping from tolls. The
long and bitter tight in congress came
to an end today when the house.
after brief debate and without the
formality Of conference, accepted by
a vote of ZIG to II the senate amend
ment specifically reserving all rights
the United States mly have under the
Hay-Pauncefote treaty or otherwise.
The President is expected to sign
the measure Monday. 1t was lust a
little more than three months ago
that he addressed the house and sen.
ate in joint session urgently asking
for repeal Of the exemption clause that
the nation might keep It's treaty obi

the city today but he and vice Presi.

posal advanced by Representative
Moss, Of West Virginia to aetach to
the repeal aat declaration of the
right of the United States To- exempt
its vessels from tolls and of the SOW

During the discussion today, there
were flashes Of heat in the debate
which characterized the original con.

PEANUT POLITICS.

! There was a time when Senate
B. r. Tillman, of South Carolina
shocked the august senate with OBJ
servations about the necessity o
"killing niggers" in the South an,
often waved the pitchfork with in
creasing vengeance. He has in hi
later years, however, softened in hi
attitude toward those who do no
agree with him. His stay in tht
senate has been Beneficial to him
He usually takes a broader View O.
men and things generally than hi
did when he entered the senate
twenty years ago, fresh from ar
agrarian war with the old ante-bei
Inn day aristocracy of South
Carolina.
For these reasons general surprise
has been expressed at Senator Till
mans sharp criticism Of President
Wilson for bringing the Panama
canal tolls exemption to an issue in
the congress. Tillman does not op.
pose the repeal of this inoirect sub
sity to the coastwise shipping trust
He properly characteristics the ex-
emption as undemocratic. His crt
ticism of the president is purely
upon political grounds. For exped-
iencys sake he would have had vii.
son pretermit any discussion of the
question during the present session
Of the congress.
Senator Tillman declares that
while exemption of coastwise ship
ping from the payment Of toll through
the canal is subsidy, the rarty is
diided upon the question and this
division may result in defeat in the
congressional elections next fall.
We do not agree with the senator as
to the effect Of repeal on the cleo

makes no argument against the wis
dom and patriotism of the presi-
dents course. Wilson as president
of the United States should take a
higher and broader view Of public
questions than one that is dictated
merely by political expediency.
President Wilson believes that for
both diplomatic and economic rea-
sons that are strong and controlling,
the canal tolls exemption should be
repealed. Holding this view he
would be narrow partisan, simply
a time serving politician, should be

attention Of the congress simply be-

the politica: fortunes Of himself or
some members of his party. The
country is to be congratulated that
it has chief executive who Is above
such narrow and unworthy interests.
