Finding a Boarding.House

A mine superlnten dent in vii
lage near Pittsburgh, having en-
gagged two likely new men the other
day, assured them that he would
find them a boarding place, so, tax
ing them in tow, he called on GER
tain Mrs. Miner, who was not en-
numbered with a numerous prog
eny. In his best manner he asked
her if she would consider taking
on the two men.
Does your wife take boarders?"
she countered, and changed the sub
ject to the weather.

Reduced Hazards

To be sure, there are hazards pe
culiar to mining, but they have bee
greatly reduced in recent years BIZ
law and by preventive researcl.
Modern system and machinery have
taken much of the hard toll out Ct
the mines. The face of the coal
cut into by q sort OF cutting naohiue
electrically operated, the powder
holes are punched or drilled wita
other machines, and the miner
has only to shovel up the coal that
is thrown down for him by tho
blasts, shore up his working place
and smooth off the ceiling Of the
chamber. Even the sad old mine
mule is getting his freedom, and
electric trolleys pull the wagons
through the drift entries.
So, after seeing all this-from PIT
to store and RESIDENCE asked p
non-union miner what the strike Wa
about. As he had worked only sig
hours that day, he couldn't make
out the six-hour demand, and as ha
didn't work more than five days g
week unless he felt like It h
couldn't fathom the fve-day demand
About all he could make out Of 8,
was that the strikers wanted ~
work still less and make still more.
Of course, it must be remembered.
in all fairness, that these western
Pennsylvania mines and miners arc
about the most happily situated in
the country. When they can get q
full car supply from the railroad
they can run every working day III
the year, including the formidable
list Of church holidays, and the
men know little Of the feast-and
famine alterations that character
ize some mining districts. In those
districts the miners explain thas
their five-day week and six hours 4
day is nothing more than an eaors

Jesuit-St. Charles Game of Last
Sunday Cancelled by New Orleans
Clarion Correspondence.

Clarion Correspondence.
Grand Coteau, Oct. 10.-The foot.
ball battle between the st. Charles
College team and that Of Jesust High
of New Orleans, planned for last Sun
day. was called off at the last mo-
ment by the city team. The coach and
athletic director of the high school
team refused to allow their players
to take the field because Of the bad
weather and the muddy gridiron. AS
an excuse for tbs acton they declared
that they We're unwilling to take the
chances on running their outfit and on
the boys getting sick by playing un-
der conditions. Up to the last mo-
ment the college men protested Yigor--
ously against the cancelling of the
game and only consented when finally
Mr.. Reed, the athletic director of the
Blue Jays, stated that he positively re-
fused to allow his boys to play. Coach
Pagan and Mr.. Roy, who represented
the Red an Greens both declared that
they though that the reasons advanc-
ed by Mr.. Reed for the cancellation
were insufficient, but when they saw
that it was impossible to force the
game to be played, he stated that they
would accept the inevitable in a true
sportman's spirit and not demand a
forfeiture from the high school team.
The gritty college eleven did not ac-
cept the decision so easily as they
were all on a keen edge for a game
t otry u their plays and their men
and every n of them declared that
they wanted to play the game even
il they had to swim down the filed
for a touchdown.
The Jesuit team seems to have been
confident of winning the game and
openly declared so. Mr.. Roy on the
contrary has p~ersistently refused to
express any opinion for publication as
to what the probable outcome of the
game would have been if the pigskin
had been allowed to travel wei the
field. When Coach Pagan was asked
for his opinion he smiled his we'll
known smile and said sure, they
would have mopped up with u.s. But
when Coach Pagan smiles that way
those who are acquainted with him
know that his Irish humor is getting
the better of him.

AS the Red and Green team is to

son on the 18th of this month, when

will be played on the st. Charles cam
pus and will be called at 8 D. M. Mr..
Mendoza and Mr.. Roberts, of Opelou-

game. The St. Martinville High has
a good string of men to put against
the college eleven and are banking
much On the swift and sure playing
of the deLaloire brothers at ends and
on their famous full-back Fournet.
The game will undoubtedly be a very

will have to play their hardest to
keep the score from mounting to a
winning height for the visiting team.

much eagerness among football root
ers to learn just what Coach Pagan
has been keeping under cover thus
far in the way of men and plays. The
game will be SO played as to allow
spectators to witness it between

by his side" Perfectly proper ano
natural and entirely commendable
and justifiable on the part of my CD
ponent who under those conditions
simply followed the natural impulse
of any brother but unfortunately for
him but as a rather amusing circum.
stance to be considered in connection
with the incident. | am reliably in
formed that his brother who was the
candidate for district attorney was not
present at the convention.

amusing to consider my opponents

events which have transpired since
the visit to him of the committee of
his real friends headed by the Honor
able Charles H. Teal On July % when
that committee requested my OBJ
ponent to become their candidate for
governor. My opponent then declined
to become a candidate and took the
pains to submit in writing his reasons
for his declination.
In his letter to the Teal committee
on July % last, my opponent, then
ostensibly not a candidate and appar-
emily with no intention other than to
remain a worker in the ranks" pre-
scribed the qualifications of an ideal
governor:

least is al ideal candidate and the
only mar in Louisiana who in Mr..
Parker opinion possesses the charac-
ter and all the qualifications essential
for a gubernatorial candidate.
You will recall that since he last
registered as a Democrat he has not
suggested any candidate himself or ap-
proved the candidacy of any of the
gentlemen who have previously an

Yes, proud of all these attempts by

himself as a candidate Of that same
party with the sole qualification that

alton. Judged by this past political
record, how long does any man be-
l1eve that my opponent will continue
a Democrat? Will he even abide by
the result of his primary when he
is unsuccessful? What assurance
have the Democrats of Louisiana that
j nthe approaching national election
my opponent will not find something
attractive and alluring about the plat
form of the Republican Party or some
other new party which may spring in
to existence overnight.
These are some of the reasons why
my opponent as a candidate for the
Democratic nomination before a Dem
ocratic primary is not entitled to the
support of the Democracy of Louisi-
ana, and a more striking aspect of
his candidacy is that he has not only
expressed no regret for his pas po-
litical apostaey but that he has re-
peatedly boasted that he was proud
OF his record in that regard.
About His Brother
At Donaldsonville had occasion to
quote the followin extrat from a
statement by Governor Pleasant made
in a public address at Shreveport ON
February Is, 1916:
"In 1904, when Mr.. Parker's broth
er was made district attorney for the
parish of Orleans by the New Orleans
regular Democratic organization and
ward leader. Mr.. John M. Parker
himself sat by and applauded their
action; and, while his brother held
office he uttered no Trades
against the fees which the New Or
leans district attorney received, as he
did a few days ago in his st. Fran
speech
The obvious purpose of this quota
tion vas apparent to every intelli-
gent man but it was seized upon by
my opponent in making a denial that
he had solicited the support of the
organization Of New Orleans
IN behalf Of his brother. / did
not barge that my opponent solicited
the support of the regular organiza-
lion in behalf of his brothers candi-
1acy. | am ever willing to admit for
the purpose of this discussion that
my opponent was even opposed to ae-
ceptance by his brother of the support
Of the organization for the fact re.
mains, and the fact that | wish to
impress upon the Democrats of Lousi-
ina, s that my opponent not only
lid not then oppose the regular or
saniZatfon in the bitter factional fight
and opposition which followed the !
nomination Of his brother as district
attorney, but that he was present at
he convention and apparently ap-
proved its action.
He stated that he attended the con-
because using his own words:

said there was going to be trouble
