Politics and Politics.

politics. One of the definitions
of politics as found in Webster's
Unabridged is: Ingenious in
devising and pursuing measures
adapted to promote personal or
national ACKNOWLEDGMENT without
regard to the morality of the
measure.
In the canvass being pursued
by two candidates of the same
party for the office of Governor
there have been some remarka-
BILE features, one of which is that
one candidate, Col. R. G. Pleas
ant, having no argument that
would appeal to the people, has
confined his canvass to ridiculing
his opponent, Lieut.. Gov. 7. C..
Barrett.
In the years past there have
been campaigns between Demo-
Gratis in Louisiana when the very
atmosphere fguratively sizzled
with enthusiasm, and which in
many instances reached the dag
gers point. In these campaigns
the political record of each con-
testant for the Office of Governor
was raked fore and aft and the
people were kept alive with the
issues confronting them, but
while each candidate was appeal
ing to the voters for recognition,
there was a limitation which no
candidate dared to transcend
that limitation is character.
1t may be said in all candor
that the candidate who will de-
scend from the plane of legiti-
mate criticism to discredit his
opponent, and who will approve
by silence the deliberate SANDER
ing of his opponent, should not
be esteemed worthy of the conf
dence of the people, nor should
he be recognized as being fit to
fill the Office of Governor of Lou
isiana. If a candidate, for in
stance for Governor. can not i'm
press the people of his merit and
his worth for the office he is am
bilious to attain, he should step
down and out.
1t can not be questioned that
the only argument, or rather dia-
tribe, which is being urged
against Lieut.. Gov. Barrett is
that he is not sincere as a prohi-
bitionist; besides he is being
slandered villainously as to his
habits, which can not be reached.
Such pusilanimity is the rankest,
the most extreme of cowardice.
Equally conclusive is the fact
that if Col. Pleasant were pos
sessed of plausible arguments he
would not confine himself to the
ridiculous. yet persistent and ap-
parent malignity, to Barret's
record as a prohibitionist, but
he would broaden his argument
on the issues which are most Vi
tai to the State and the people,
but which seemingly he has
evaded.
One of the vital issues is boss
ism. In the Ward Bosses is GEN.
tered the many ills from which
the State has suffered for years,
and as Col. Pleasant is being sup
ported and championed by the
ring, or the Bosses, no relief
from this political oligarchy may
be expected. if he should be
elected the executive of the State.
There are several issues, but
for the present we will direct our
query categorically to Col. Pleas
ant, who may spare a few min
utes from his criticism of Bar
ret's record as a prohibitionist

HOw's This?

Here is something that every
man on a farm and every man
off a farm should read and pom
der over. 1t is an object lesson
that should be worth much to
those who read it. Star Dixon
is a young married man living in
the Danville community, seven
miles of Longview. He is %
years old, last year he built a
nice home with the proceeds of
his sweet potato crop. This
year he had in cultivation fifty
acres of land on which he has
produced five bales of cotton and
800 bushels of corn, 5000 BUSH
els of sweet potatoes, of which
$500 bushels are housed in the
potato warehouse. He has saved
500 bales of fine hay mostly
peanut and vines-and has prob
ably 100 bales loose and vet un-
baled. He has saved out 500
bushels of potatoes to feed to
twenty hogs, seven of which he
has raised this year. He has
gathered and housed forty BUSH
els of field peas for winter use.
Last year he held his potatoes
until they brought 81 per bushel.
If they bring that much this
year he will have So, 500 from the
sale of potatoes alone. Can any,
one do etter?-Longview Times.

DINNER CALLED OFF
Construed by Some as Purposed
to Stir Up More FactionaI-
ism in Party.

The dinner OF Progressive Republican
leaders OF the Senate and House at the
Capital Park Hotel. which was to nave
been held tonight has been called off.
Senators and House members who were
to have attended were notified this
morning that the dinner would not be
held.
The progressive Republicans have
been holding a number Of conferences
Of late. and the dinner tonight was to
have been in pursuance Of these. The
conferences were intended to further
progressive legislation and to get a
platform and nominee at Chicago
who would suit progressive Republicans.
Senators who were invited to the din
ner tonight said there was a fear in
some quarters that the dinner might be
construed as a purpose to stir up more
factiona!ism In the Republican party.
and some of those connected with the
Amir thought 1t well TO abandon 1t.
The progressive Republicans have
been to some extent embarrassed In
their efforts to further the cause OF
progressive legislation and of pro-
gressive platform and candidate al
Chicago by the fact that Senator La
Toilette has lately become a candi'
date for the Presidency. Friends OF
both Senator Cummins and Senator
La Toilette are active in seeking del
egates in North Dakota.
1t is understood that this is on'
reason why the dinner Will not b.

the line-ups tabulated here furnishes
conclusive proof of the sincerity of

ably first in importance to be men
toned is the indubitable Harry Krauss

abroad.
Krauss has created sensation
wherever he has rolled. and W. v.

most expert bowler I have ever watch

the sentiments of all Washington, and
has seen Krauss at labor on the alleys.
This ubiquitous bowler has held
championship after championships with
the greatest grace that a title holder

single step in his work. He is better
than ever, if he has undergone any
change in The past five or six years,
certainly he has taken no step back
