Bernstein Buildings at Winfield Des
troyed by Fire.

Winfield, La, Jan. 6.-The
entire row of buildings owned by
the M. Bernstein estate was des-
troyed here yesterday morning
by fire, which reached such head
way before the fire department
reached it, that there was almost
a total loss of all property in the
buildings. The Bernstein estate
carried no insurance on the build
ings and little was carried by the
tenants.

He FOrgets.

We lift the following from Mr.
John M. Parker's New Years
expressions:
by bluff and intimidation the Reg
ular Organization virtually controls anC
dictates to every officer in the State.
The average citizen has about as
much to do with selecting candidates
as rabbit, and are expected to blind
ly vote for the hand-picked candidates
selected by the Organization. -
What a convenient memory
has the Bull Moose candidate.
How quickly he forgets his own
participation in the most ruth
less act of political dictation
which has ever come to pass in
this ethyl
In 1904 the respectable press
of the city was united in support
of District Attorney Luzenburg
for denomination on the faith of
IN exceptionally efficient admin
istration of his office. There was
an almost universal public senti-
ment behind the press and the
Regular Organization was pre-
pared to carry out the popular
will.
But suddenly the executive of
the State appeared on the scene,
defying the press and public, de-
nying the right of the people to
choose their own officers and in
sisting that the Hon. John M.
Parker's brother be nominated
for the office.
The city rose in rebellion, pub
lie anger was intense. But the
Organization submitted to the
Governors dictation. 1t aban-
doned the candidate to whom it
was committed. 1t crucified a
faithful official while the city
ragged.
And while the act of crucifix-
ion was in progress the Hon.
John M. Parker stood in the gal
lery of the Athenaeum cheering
until he was hoarse!
In that instance the free peo-
pie of New Orleans had about
as much to do with selecting the
for district attorney as
a rabbit" He was subsequently
elected only because the Organi-
zation put forth a supreme effort
to stem the tide of opposition to
him, and many citizens had, |
failure to pay their poll
taxes, DISTINGUISHED themselves. |
When we remember John M.
Parker's part in this political ep-
sode in the life of the city how
ne aided and abetted the throt-
Ting of the popular will-how he
stood for this ruthless act of
alien dictation it is difficult not to
believe that the alloy of selfish
hess and hypocrisy is strong in
he Bull Moose candidate. Daily

cuts some curious capers in it
blind and unreasoning effort t
bolster up the weakening cam
paign of Mr.. Pleasant. Its lates
effort in this line is crystalized il
its last Monday edition, in which
it proceeds to draw comfort from
the following astute assumption
as to the position of the voters
of Louisiana in the present cam.
paign:
''But they never have had particle
of faith in the sincerity of Mr. Barrett
They know that for years he invited
and accepted the support of the liquor
interests. They know that he rose tc
prominence in public fairs by the ia
vor of those interests-tha he owes
his very position of Lieutenant Gov
ernor to the alliances he was able to
make with them through his ardent adj
vocacy of the principles of local OPP
ton.
The absurdity of this comment
is apparent by its simple state
ment. For nearly a generation
Mr.. Barrett has been recognized
as a man of integrity and ability
by the voters of Louisiana, and
in making his campaign alliances
he has exercised the good judg-
ment to accept all of the political
support that any and all factions
of the party had to offer. That
is exactly his position in the pres
ent campaign.
The mistake that the States
makes is in assuming that the
Democratic party and the liquor
interests are one and the same.
1t questions Mr.. Barret's SINGER
ity as friend to the liquor in
terests, and in the same breath
assumes that he is seeking the
support of this interest, whereas
Mr.. Barrett is only asking the
support of loyal Democrats, and
has given the whisky men fair
notice that he is opposed to their
traffic.
In the last campaign Mr.. Bar
ret stood for local option, ,"
which at that time seems to have
been equally satisfactory both to
the prohibitionists anG the liquor
interests. In the present cam
paign, however, they repudiated
the local option issue as entirely
too satisfactory to the liquor in
terests, to which they are ire
vokably opposed. The Anti Sa-
loon League, the w. C. T. U. and
all the temperance people there
fore advanced their claims to the
congressional unit and to state
wide prohibition. And that is
the issue pure and simple, and
Mr.. Barrett stands squarely upon
it. He stands for the Democrat |
ic doctrine of the peoples right
to rule, and says he will not veto
any measure submitting any
question to the voters of Louisi-
ana for their decision.
Mr.. Pleasant, on the contrary,
is hopelessly involved with the
liquor interests, and has said
that he would not submit a
Statewide prohibition bill to the
people that if the legislature
were to pass such a bill he would
veto it. And thus the issue is
drawn between the two men. Al
vote for Pleasant is a vote for IL
censing the saloon. and a vote for
Barrett is a vote for Statewide
prohibition.
The people of Louisiana have
never given their consent that
the liquor traffic shall be licensed
in the State-they have never
been given the opportunity to
pass upon the question. Mr..
Barrett promises to give them
