THOSE BouR6oNs.

If it be indeed true, as John A. White
of Clinton writes to the Times-Pica-
yune, that the constitutional conven-
ton was voted down by the country
because of it's city ring support, and
there can be little doubt that his
statement is correct, then the country
must be drawing similar conclusions
in the fight for governor now on. The
man the bosses want, the country will
not want--if it can be helped-and
this is something the bosses simply
cannot learn, skilled politicians though
they are.
1t would seem that after the John T.
Michel defeat in 1912 and the consti-
tutional convention call-down in 1915,
that these bosses could see the drift of
feeling against them, and therefore
cOntrive to conceal their real wishes
and designs. But they are real Bour-
bons in so far as learning nothing is

A BIG SALARY.

AS an example of what large salaries
accrue to sheriffs of the larger and
richer parishes, striking example is
given in that of our sister parish,
Pointe Coupee. The contract system,
though not sanctioned by law, is in
vogue in that parish as in many other
parishes, and the Pointe Coupee sheriff
is under contract with the police jury
of the parish to do the criminal work
of the parish for $1,000 per year. This
may or may not include expenses in
going after criminals elsewhere, con-
veying conVicts, etc., but whether it
does or not-and most probably does
not, or for collection of taxes, etc.
the one fact stands pre-eminent that
in the contract price alone the sheriff
of Pointe Coupee receives larger
salary than the present governor of
the state and far more than many
JULIET lulpOILduL OIuCld1S.
1t is further stated that the gross
amount received by the sheriff of
Pointe Coupee as his salary is as much
as the amount of taxes devoted to
schools and roads combined The
records Of the state show that though
Pointe Coupee pays its proportion of
taxes that 1t is one of the most IL
literate parishes of the states that no
works of public improvement are 60
ing on, and there is no promise Of any
thing better unless a radical change
can be made in reducing the stated
expenses of the parish.
The writer is not taking up the
cudgel for any one on account of
the internal affairs of Pointe Coupee,
but mentions the matter as a horrible
example of the disproportionate sums
paid the shoriffs of the larger and
richer parishes, enabling these men, in
many instances, to build up large and
court house factions" that
further entrench their chiefs in power,
and all fatten on the salaries, while
the schools, the roads and other public
suffer for the lack of
funds to do the most rudimentary
work pertaining to their respective
lines.
Such conditions call loudly for |
change.

LOUISIANA HOGS WIN INTER.
STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS.

Louisiana-bred hogs won notable
victory at the Jackson, Miss, State
Fair when Evan ]. McCalps Duroc-
Jerseys not only beat entries from
Louisiana, Mississippi and Kentucky
and other states, but, by defeating the
Mckee entries from Kentucky, won a
Southern championship and gained as
cendancy over the Kentucky founders
of the Mccall Louisiana herd.
The Mccall victory will have mark
ed effect upon stock raised in Louis
lana, especially as some of this cham
pionship strain will be put up at the
big Mccall sale on January 5. The
Louisiana State Fair Association has
recognized the leadership of the young
hog raiser sugar planter, who is presi-
dent of the South Louisiana Fair AS
sociation at Donaldsonville, by appoint
ing him Grand Marshal of the big

COTTON FARMERS MEET IN
NEW ORLEANS.

Southern cotton farmers, manufac-
turers, bankers, and others interested
in the cotton industry will meet in New
Orleans, December and Z, to canvass
the cotton situation generally and in
particular to examine the great public
owned cotton warehouse, terminal and
shipping facilities at New Orleans.
The unique situation at New Orleans,
with the price of storage, insurance and
handling SO cheap, and with ware
house receipt with the credit of the
State of Louisiana behind it, is work
ing a revolution and sending to New
Orleans cotton for storage which never
went there before. This cotton is being
held at the warehouse, which is situat-
ed on the river front, ready for imme-
date loading into ships to take advan-
tage of the best market conditions.

WHICH ONE?

When the thief met Jesus in paradise
there was certainly no reference made
to the past, and when Lazarus reached
the haven of Abrahams bosom there
was no question about his sores. SINH
larly, what Mr.. Barrett or Mr. Pleasant
may have thought and done in the past,
on the liquor question, is beside the
point, which is, What is their position
now?" Their sincerity can only be
determined later. The voter must, at
present, depend only upon what they
themselves have publicly declared, and
which they, as thoughtful men, have
decided is right, or expedient, as their
future course. References to the past
are only useful as determining the
fundamentals of their, or any mans,
character. What they have promised
to do is the present interest.
But, after all, not even their promises
are worth much as regards the liquor
question, since either, if elected gov
ernor, will have little power in in
fuencing results in that regard. For
purposes OF comparison of the two
candidates, as to character and ability,
their respective announcements as to
prohibition, should be disregarded. The
test should be on their general merits
and trust-worthiness. Reviewing their
respective careers, one who gives the
of being the stronger, better
man should be chosen, regardless Of
tissues" that are of no real import,
except for campaign purposes.

A country exchange insists that the
city has as much right to choice as

merely the choice of the disinterested
