Pleased With Lights.
II wish to reiterate a sentiment I ex-
pressed in my recent message to coun-
Gil. AS soon as the city takes over
the electric plant of it's competitor
there will no longer be any legal OBJ
stacle to installing ornamental lights
throughout our business districts and
the city government will then be in q
position to promote such improve
ments and offer attractive terms to
the business interests which desire to
provide such an improvement for their
streets"

The system Of lighting which has

WHAT THE EDITOR
SAYS.

/
The Berthelot faction whicl
warmly supported Col. Pleasant
candidacy for Governor in the
recent primary and succeeded ir
giving the Colonel a handsome
majority in the parish always ex-
pected and hoped that the Hart
faction and its official journal,
L'Observateur, would remain
within the ranks of stainless De-
mocracy and lend their loyal sup
port to the nominee of the Dem
ocratic party. 1t pleased us be-
yond expression to note in the
New Orleans papers sometime
ago that the leader of the oppo-
sition, Mr.. Hart, a member of
the State Central Committee,
had been placed on the Commit
tee on Resolutions and consented
to act and aid in framing out a
platform upon which every true
Democrat must stand. We COM
plimented Mr.. Hart upon his
sound and untrammeled democ-
racy. Although he and his faction
loyalty supported Mr.. Barret's
candidacy in the recent primary,
yet like a true democrat he con-
ceived it to be his duty to abide
by the results of the democratic
primary and support thenominee
Col, Ruffin G. Pleasant.
However, what surprised us

sky is the unqualified endorse
nent which the Republican Pro.

the recognized organ
If the Hart faction. From these /
circumstances we can draw only |
me out of two possible con- |
,lusions: either L'Observateur |
las condemned the course pursu-
d by lis leader. Mr.. Hart, and |
therefore, deserted the ranks of
he Hart faction, or else, conced-
ng that the Hart journal speaks
the conclusion is inevi-
able though regrettable that Mr..
Tart. in accepting the appoint |
lent and helping to frame out /
ieasant-Democratic platform |
.cted as a traitor to the party |
Which he led the public to believe
.e was actively supporting. Of
he two conclusions we prefer to
ccept the former and we shall !
ling to it until our contemporary |

Ieeded light upon the apparent ,
dilemma. :,

His wise and truthful sayings
are without the least doubt the
sounding note" on which the
pedestal of true Democracy rests.
Our blackest pages have been
written by the hand of the Re-
publican. His twin brother is
the Progressive. Both advocate
ideas in common. They are
united in Louisiana today for
pelf and power. Shall we sur
render to them the control of our
fair state SO they may repeat the
history they have already made? +?
There are more than one hun

There are those who have de-
serted her; there are those who
have fed from her hand and now
bite her; but thank God. they are
few. Her loyal sons are rallying
to the trumpet call as of yore and
will place upon her brow proud
S crown once more. I"
After reading the above state
nent shall we stand idle until the
enemy has bound US hand and
foot? Fellow voters, sons of
louisiana are we supposed TO be
numbered among those who hav-
ears, hear not, and having eyes,
zee not the thing which so nearly
concern their temporal salvatioDl
Shall the solid foundation of our
present Democratic form of
government crumble in the dust?
Shall the wheel of progress and
prosperity again be checked and
hattered by the hand o. Re-
No! Let us then
