Certain questions IN connection
with Mr.. Ponder's campaign for
Congress have presented themselves
from time to time, and we submit
them to Mr.. Ponder in the hope
that he will endeavor to answer
them while he is in this parish.
Mr.. Ponder has severely attacked
the administration of former Cover.
nor Sanders in recent speeches. In
reply to these attacks, Governor
Sanders has read extracts from
speeches made by Mr.. Ponder a
few years ago. in which speeches
Mr.. Ponder vigorously defended the
Sanders administration. Why does
Mr.. Ponder today denounce the
same administration which a few
years ago he so enthusiastically
eulogized9
Mr.. Ponder charged former Gov
ernor Sanders with having looted a
Chicago bank of nearly half a mil
lion dollars, when the records of the
investigation Of that bank failure
clearly show that Sanders was in no
wise concerned with any of the
transactions that lead up to it, and
was never even indicted for any
connection with the proceedings
that caused its failure.
Why does Mr.. Ponder, who is
seeking to represent the fair State
of Louisiana in the lower house of
our national Congress, thus attempt
to besmirch the name of a former
governor of this State, and thereby
bring shame into the heart of every
citizen of Louisiana?
In order to explain why Governor
Sanders was not indicted for the
crime with which Ponder has charg.
ed him, Mr.. Ponder, in a speech at
kentwood on August lst, and since
then in other speeches. has enun-
ciated the following proposition of
law: That co-conspirator in an
unlawful scheme to loot bank
cannot be indicted unless the CO.
conspirator is an official of the bank
looted. That this is not the law is
known to the veriest tyro Is Mr..
Ponder so ignorant of the law as to
believe the monstrous doctrine
stated above, or is he guilty of stat.
ins as the law which he knows is
not the law?
Mr.. Ponder, in his speech at
Baton Rouge. and in subsequent
speeches, has insinuated that Gov
ernor Sanders was forced to 90 to
Chicago by threats of prosecution at
the hands of the Illinois officials.
Yet the letter which Governor San.
ders received from the States At
torney in Illinois and which Cover.
nor Sanders has published, shows
plainly that Sanders went to Chica.
60 voluntarily. Why did Ponder
make this false insinuatlon?
MIR. Ponder, who is a candidate
for the Democratic nomination for
Congress from this District gave out
an interview on June IL, 1916, in
which he directly challenged the
veracity Of the recently elected and
newly installed Democratic Cover
nor Of this State. Why did Mr..
Ponder attack this Democratic ad-
ministration, which is in no wise
concerned or at issue in this pri. |
mary election?
And, lastly, Mr.. Ponder has spent
considerable time and a vast

An instrument in wondrous fashion
wrought,
Strings faulty drawn cross FURNISHED
breasts of brown,
Bow, dangerously lying by in idle

The instrumental lo the Master

A soul thrilled with the joy and woe OF
humankind,
Brain trained in the technique of the
Masters art,
Fingers skillful, delicately strong,
The instrument, the Master-then the
song.
He lightly draws the bow across the
strings
The while his slender fingers tunes
them up,
And melody, the music of the spheres,
Released from prison walls wells
straightway forth.
Sometimes lifting Irish melody
Portrays the heighths and depths Of
temperament;
Anon the plaintive wall of hopeless
Vibrates a latent chord of sympathy.
He plays upon us as his violin,
Under his magic bow our heartstrings
throb
With unrequited love and cruel hate,
With dreamy tenderness and lofty
thought.
Interpreter of thoughts we cannot

Inspirer of the things we hope to be.
The Virtuoso with his violin
The Master Player of the Human Soul!

More Comma to Him.

There was no doubt about the fact
that Jack MacFaddy was Scotsman.
Last year, when joYrneying to the
country on an important errand. he
left his purse, containing nearly $500
in gold and silver, at the railway sta
ton from which ne started.
He telegraphed tho fact on his ar
rival and the purse was kept until his
return a month later.
1t was a young clerk who handed
Jockie MacF. his wee purse with the
"spondies" as he set foot out OF the
train, and certain wild hopes were
making the young mans heart beat a
trife unevenly.
But our canny Scot counted his
money unheeding when he'd
finished he looked up long and sus.
piciously at the young man.
Isn't it right, sir?" stammered the
latter, in bewilderment.
"Richt--Richt! It's right enough
but where's the interest, mon?" was
MacFaddy's stern retort. -Edlnburgh
