Made Judge 26th
District Court.

Hon. Prentiss B. Carter, who has
just been appointed to the bencn Of
the Twenty-Sixth judicial District
Court, is well known in the Florida
parishes, where he was reared. He
received his rudimentary education
ut the Jesuit College, New Orleans,
He taught school in Livingston, Tan
gipahoa and Washington parishes, af-
ter his marriage, at the same time
being engaged in farming. He COM
pleted his law course under Judge
Stephen D. Ellis, whose great legal
knowledge laid the foundation for
the success that has met Judge Cart
er in the practice of his profession
in the Florida parishes and in the
Federal Courts of New Orleans.
Judge Carter was admitted to the
bar twenty-five years ago, since
which time he has resided in Frank
linton, Washington parish. He is
known as an able lawyer and it is
predicted that he will make an able
Judge for this district. He has not
been an offlce-seeker. The only pub
lie position he has previously held
was that of Assistant Attorney Cen
cEoAs A41Iu8 Iuo uA0APHcu SSiW OA
Hon. G. A. Condran, deceased.
Judge Carter was the selection of
the Bar Association for his present
position. He has made many warm
friends in st. Tammany parish. and
he is universally popular in his home
town, Franklinton. Being self
made man, he has acquired habits of
Thought and reasoning, the liberal
and broad-minded training that
comes from contact with the world.

edge the qualities to be desired in

Henry James.

The death of Henry James in Lon.
don causes but little stir in this coun-
try, yet at one time he was one of the
leading American men of letters. In
the first place Mr.. James never appeal
ed strongly to the popular taste, al
though some of his earlier novels had
wide circulation. His DAISY Miller
became "best seller and, as he later
said, the most prosperous child of his
invention. But from DAISY Miller" he
went upward into the higher realms of
intellectual production, and as he rose
his syntax grew more complex, until a
new idiom came into currency, to ex-
press as "Henryjamsian" that which was
difficult of understanding. And so Mr..
James and the public, the big book
reading public, drifted apart, and the
last separation was physical, when the
novelist went abroad and expatriated
himself, with certain comments upon
American life and manners that were
unpleasant to his former fellow coun-
trymen. Ability he had strongly. He
was discriminatory and gifted with a rare
taste. The pity is that with his gifts
he did not voice the spirit of the people
of this land or of the time.

The Roosevelt Boom.

Mr.. Roosevelt, so the report goes, is
to be received by his New York friends
in "rousing fashion upon his return
from the West Indies. And from that
time his presidential boom is to be sys-
tematicaliy doomed.
This is the day Of paradoxes and sur
prises. Mr.. Roosevelt is not a repub-
ican, and lays no claim to considera-
years ago. prociaiming that its mission
was ended and its character gone 1t
had become Il tool of the Interests
He asked for its defeat, and by divid-
ing it he brought defeat about.
He has never recanted. If he has
revised his opinions about the old or
the fact
And yet the friends of Mr.. Roosevelt
propose his nomination for the presi-
dency by the republican party. The
terms as offensive as any ever employed
by democratic spellbinder is recon-
mcnded for service again as standard
bearer. his election to depend upon the
activity of the men who have felt the
toughest edges of his tongue.
Some of the men engaged in this
movement are of much intellectual con-
sequence and no little political intiu-
ence. They call themselves republicans,
and have been atfiliating with the party
for the past three years. Their only
secession was in 1912, when they fol-
lowed Mr.. Roosevelt into the bull moose
party.
Does it seem possible for the move
ment to succeed, even at time of such
general unrest and incertitude as the
present? Is it assumable that the re-
publieans in national convention will
confess bankruptcy. and in despair ask
Mr.. Roosevelt to take charged And if
they do, will they have the slightest
chance at the polls?
Mr.. Roosevelt is depending for sue
cess in this matter on hullabaloo. The
old cry, I'VE want Teddy~ is raised
again, and choruses are drilling to
: deafen Chicago with it in June. But
after Chicago will come the months of
discussion and reflection; and hullabaloo
rarely spreads well over long period.
So that nomination as. amazing and
illogical as that would be would have
the hardest shedding ever experienced
by presidential candidate in this
country.

Wilson from the equation and Champ
Clark steps into his place. The former
is no more conspicuously the man as
matters now stand than the latter would
be as matters would then stand. Every
thing would point to him, everybody
turn to him. Mr.. Bryan himself could
not stay the tide if he desired to; and
he might not so desire.
Such a result at the convention would
necessarily change the democratic plan
of campaign, which would have to be
in accord with the record of the can
didate and the reasons for his nomina-
ton. But the record of the admins
tration would remain. In some way Mr..
Clark would have to shoulder that, and
make the best explanation possible of
why the party was asking d continual
ton of power after confessing to the
necessity of change of leadership.

Where Is the Excuse?

Whenever a radical change is pro-
posed in any organization, public or
private, it is proper to demand a rea-
son. Now, what is the reason for the
effort to make the government clerks
in Washington work an extra hour with
out additional pays Is it because the
government is behind in its tasks and
requires either more workers or more
work out of its present force7 No de-
partmcnt chief has reported a conges-
ton. No one has complained of a
serious shortage of help. No demand
has been expressed for relief from an
accumulating burden of unfulflled
tasks
There is no evidence that the govern
ment's work is so much behind that it
is necessary to compel the clerks to
labor an hour longer each day.
Is this change proposed as a measure
of economy? Is it intended to do the
governments work with smaller force
than at present? Who believes that
the financial cmbarrassments of the
United States of the immediate pres
emit are serious enough to require cur
tailments in the working force? If
economy is the cry, why not begin sys-
tematically to find sinecures that can
be cut off, and other branches of the
government than the departmental force
that can be reformede
But even if there were reason i'll
economy for this radical move, so dis
turbing to the morale and SO menacing
to the efficiency of the governments
department staff, the proposed meth
cd is the worst possible way to 60 about
the task. To be effective as measure
of economy the frightening of the hours
must be accompanied by reduction of
the force. The clerks who are retained,
to work minimum of eight hours a
day-and nobody knows how much
What is proposed in the way of a sift-
ing process7 How many are to be let
out, and how are they to be selected
If this rider on the legislative bill
is merely part Of general plan of de-
partmental reform, where is the other
part? Surely something is lacking, un-
less this effort to grind another hour
of work out of the clerks for the same
pay is but stroke of parsimony, with
out justification in the departmental
conditions or the state of the Treasury

evacuation by the Italians few days
ago. From this point Austria can un-
doubleday menace the Italian east coast
An extension Of the Italian war procla-
nation to include Germany at a time
of apparent withdrawal from extended
positions presents a rather anomalous
aspect. 1t may at @least be taken as a
sign that Italy is not disposed to de-
part from the compact with the allies to
remain with them until they all con-
clude peace.

At St, Louis.

a current story that the President is
threatening Congress; that unless his
views are adopted as to preparedness
and other questions he will refuse the
use of his name at St. Louis, makes too
heavy draft on crcdulity even in these
excited and exciting times The yarn
exceeds the limit. The President is not
a child, and he is not dealing with chill
dren. On the question of preparedness
he Is presenting case so strong the
a., only reply So far as he is concerned is
that he has but recently become a con-
vert to the cause. Which is no reply
at all. Ii the opposition has none bet
ter in reserve, it is "in" for a beating.
Mr.. Wilson's denomination looks cer-
tain. He wants it, and his party would
take great risk in turning him down.
He is the issue, whether domestic or
foreign policies are considered. As to
the former he has had a great deal to
say; as to the latter, the controlling
say. And whatever he has said his party
thus far has accepted. For campaign
purposes, he is the party 1t must stand
or fall with him.
But if, for any reason, Mr. Wilson
should not control the st. Louis con
yention, the man who will stands desig-
mated. He % head and shoulders above
all the other democratic leaders. Per
sonally the most popular; legislatively
the most experienced; oratoricalIy in
the front rank, he has a large follow
ing and straight and consistent rec

1taly's Part in the War.

1t is reported that Italy is on the
eve of declaration Of war against Ger
many. The government at Rome has
carefully avoided a definite break with
Berlin, although engaged in hostilities
against Germany's ally and Italy's own
former ally of the dreibund. Certain
political reasons have operated to the
end of this anomalous position, reasons
that are too profound for American I'M
derstanding. If now a declaration of
war is to be made the physical situa-
ton will not be changed with any ap-
probable degree. 1t has been suspected
that German troops have taken part in
the Austrian campaign against Italy,
but this has not been proved. Germany
is SO fully occupied now on all fronts,
especially in the west, that it is not at
all likely there will be any increase of
pressure on the italian line from that
source.
The Italian campaign has been a dis
|
1t was expected that the attack on Aus
tria would compel the withdrawal of a
large force from the eastern front and
tighten the pressure on Russia. Inas.
much as the Russian retreat occurred
soon after the entrance Of Italy into
the campaign this factor did not ap-
pear to have had any material weight
Austria, as result Of the peculiar ma
ture Of the country. has been able to
hold the Italians practically in blockade
for nearly 4 year. Meanwhile a new
development has occurred on the cast
ern shores of the Adriatic. Italy landed
an expeditionary force in Albania and
maintained foothold there for some
months. Now Austria, having broken
through the Montensgrin lines, has %.
