W. A. SIBLEYis hereby announced as a candidate for thelegislature from this parish, subject to the actionof the Democratic party.

A correspondent of.the Baton RougeTruth inferentially accuses The Chiefof supporting Mr. Wilkinson for gov-ernor. We'll show that rooster howtuch we are supporting Wilkinsonwhen Frank Williams is nominated!

A liberal batch of announcementsin the St. Helena Echo prompts thatpaper to remark with characteristiciumor: 'There are certainly a lot ofcandidates crowding up to the lick-iog, and we are singing our little tunecying to encourage others."

in view of Jared Sanders' boast.hat thirteen out of the fifteen New Or-leans banks and all but two of the wardcosses of that city are supportingiAim for governor, it is an indication)f rather case-hardened gall for the3anders organs to charge that Wil--inson is a corporatioa and ring can-'idate.

The Abbeville Meridional thinksthat Sanders should be awarded thegubernatorial prize because he has alonger platform and has made morepromises than either of his competi-;ors. Doesn't our Abbeville contem-porary know that, as a general rule,it's the politician promising the mostvho performs the least?

We have often heard of a man *giv.'ng himself away," but the first in-'tance of one advertising to disposeof himself at partition sale has cometo our attention. One of our esteemedlocal contemporaries printed the-ad.last week announcing that the sheriff,f this parish would offer at publicruction *'the following described

,)roperty, to-wit; S. H. ST. MARTIN,Sheriff."

The legislative campaign in St.Selena seems to be developing somelovel issues. The Greensburg Echolays: "We understand that our, friend

. McD. Anderson is going aroundelling his old Populist friends that if

ihey will send him to the legislaturelust as soon as he gets there he willpass a bill changing dog days, so.hat they will have better weather invhlch to pull fodder and save theirlay, and they are just tumbling to the iacket. Burges Young says he has '

already examined the law on that pint,crnd he is shore that such a law would Iie unconstitutional."

The report from Ascension, one of the exce•Lional parishes in the state classed for Wilkin-son, indicates that this parish will also be foundin the Sanders column.-Iberville South.

Before the primary possibly, but.lever again no more. Depends onwho is doing the figuring as to whetherit appears in the Sanders column evenbefore the voting. Figures don't lie,of course, but all sorts of people willfigure, The South is very right,though, in classing Ascension as anexceptional parish, for that's essen-tially what she is-exceptional andunexceptionable. We've always knownit and said it, but didn't expect theIberville organ to admit the fact soreadily.

Harping on the ancient and rustyReconstruction string in order to di-vert tpublic attention from modernDemoratic misrule, the ShreveportTimei says:

It Is partly the memory of these things thatwere done by men who called themselves Re-publicans that has kept Louisiana solidly Dem-ocratic since 1576.

You're way off, neighbor. Thatmusty old memory wasn't in it withFoster's counting machine as a meansof keeping the Louisiana Democracyat the pie counter in 1896, when Pharrwas elected governor by the whiteparishes and euchred on the face ofthe returns by manipulation of thevote of the heavy negro parishes forthe Daocratic ticket.

Three Strikes and Out.The "spoliation of Reconstruction

days" has been one of the historicallemons habitually handed out by Dem-ocratic organs to the Republicanparty of this state, until honor andhonesty have seemed to be consideredby them as the exclusive property ofthe unterrified Democracy of Louisi-ana.

How have the mighty fallen!In New Orleans, where the bosses

have held sway off and on for nearlya generation, three out of seven taxcollectors are short in their accountsin an aggregate stealage of about$200,000. The first that set the fashionwas Dudenhefer, the crown prince andheir of the former boss of the ninthward,. to whom descended by inheri-tance all the rights, dignities andhonors in the Democratic party thathad been held by his father for morethan thirty years. Young Dudenhefermade love to the Ham Tree girl andabout $75,000 of the state's money atthe same time, and several days afterthe theft had been made known to theconstituted authorities he leisurelydisappeared, leaving an aching voidin the state treasury, which may bepartially filled by putting a cramp inthe income of a surety company for$20,000, only about a quarter of theshortage.

There next came into the limelightTax Collector Foster, the prot6Pg ofBoss Behrman of the fifteenth ward,mayor of New Orleans. Foster'scollections were small, consequentlyhis stealage had to be limited. TheItem said the trouble with him was"fast women and slow horses."

The third and most serious defal-cation was that of Chas. E. Letten,chief clerk in the office of John Fitz-patrick, state tax collector of the firstdistrict. Letten's stealings aggregated$116,000 and were carried on during aperiod of about four years. Mr. Fitz-patrick, low liquor license championand big boss of the third ward, hasbeen tax collector of the first districtfor a long time. Although the officeis said to be worth between $15,000and $20,000 a year, he does not appearto have given any personal attentionto the business, but entrusted it to a$2000 clerk from whom he exacted nobond. As it took only a few hours todiscover the clerk's guilt from thebooks, it seems surprising that thecollector had not looked over thembefore, if not day by day, then once aweek, or once a mouth, or once in awhile, anyway. What was the statepaying him this enormous salary forthat he couldn't receive the taxes him-self, or at least devote enough of hisvaluable time to the public intereststo supervise the work of the office, in-spect the books occasionally and seethat the state's money was safely de-posited in bank?

The reason is that this job was areward from the Democratic partyfor past political majorities-servicespaid for with the people's money. Asthe office was looked upon as a sine-cure, it was run by a subordinate,who dividled the taxes collected in un-equal amounts between the state anda negro strumpet, the latter division,we suppose, being his tribute to whitesupremacy. Concerning this disgrace-ful liaison Mr. Letten is quoted in aninterview as saying, "Everybody doesthat." We deny the charge made bythis Democratic officer. There aretwo or three parishes where suchthings are said to be permitted in offi-cial life, but the decent Republicansand Democrats of this state alike de-test and decry miscegenation, and thisthieving Democrat cannot debase hisrace to extenuate his embezzlements.

Isn't it about time something washeard from the three Democratic can-didates for governor relative to thesewholesale peculations? Mr. Sandershas been charged with boasting thathe enjoys the support of all the wardbosses in New Orleans but two, henceit may not be reasonable to expectmuch criticism of them from thatquarter, but both Mr. Wilkinson andGen. Jastremski seem to be lettingtheir fear of the bosses, their formergood will for some of them, and theirdisinclination to attack anybody, keepthem from doing their full duty to thepublic by "talking out in meeting"about all this crookedness.

Where has the Democratic partya Hercules mighty enough to sweepthe Augean stables clean of ring-rule,embezzlements, prostitutions, graft

and general organized and disorgan-ized rottenness?

We summon the patriotic voters andoewspapers of Louisiana to join us inthe cry of "Turn the rascals out,"and to remedy the political evils fromwhich the state suffers by building upa Republican party willing and able 1.o nail all malefactors on the cross ofa righteous public opinion.

An Infantile Plea.The esteemed Shreveport Times

pleads the baby act in behalf of itsparty when it claims that "the fee sys-tem is a legacy inherited by the Dem-ocratic party in this state from theRepublicans who plundered a helplesspeople in the period immediately suc-ceeding four years of a devastatingwar."

The Democratic party has had com-plete and undisputed control of thestate government of Louisiana in allits branches for more than thirtyyears. If it couldn't rectify wrongs,correct abuses and accomplish neces-sary reforms in all that time, when inpity's sake can such a consummationbe expected under Democratic auspices?

If the excuse offered by the Timesfor the shortcomings of the LouisianaDemocracy was all true, which it isn't,the plea must be characterized as veryinfantile indeed.

Yom Kippur.Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement,

was strictly and solemnly observed byBikur Cholim Congregation on Tues-day and Wednesday last, the 17th and18th insts. All places of business con-ducted by Jewish merchants wereclosed in honor of the notable feast,and large congregations gathered atthe local synagogue to participate in theinteresting ceremonies peculiar to theoccasion. Divine services were heldat 6:30 p. m. Tuesday and throughoutthe entire day Wednesday, beginningat 10 o'clock in the forenoon and con-tinuing until the stars began to glim-mer in the evening. Rabbi M. Kleinofficiated and delivered several eloquentsermons, which elicited many expres-sions of esteem and appreciation fromhis admiring hearers. At 4 o'clock p.m. services in memory of departedmembers of the congregation werecelebrated in a most solemn and im-pressive manner, and at their conclu-sion the entire congregation rose andrecited the "Kaddish," the usualprayer in commemoration of thosewho have gone before, to the accom-paniment of a solemn symphony. Aspecial choir rendered beautiful solosand exquisite musical selections appro-priate to the sacred occasion.

Yom Kippur is the most importantfeast in the Jewish calendar, and theone most generally observed by He-brews the world over. It is the tenthday of the month Tishri, the firstmonth in the New Year, and marksthe end of the penitential period whichbegan with the celebration of RoshHashono. Am tig the orthodox He-brews Yom Kippur is observed as asolemn feast. For the full twenty-fourhours there is a total abstention fromfood and drink, and the time is spentin prayers to the Lord for forgivenessfrom the sins which have been com-mitted during the year. Besides mak-ing peace with his Maker, the Hebrewmust be at peace with all the worldbefore entering his house of worship.

Sukkoth, or the Feast of Taber-nacles, will be celebrated next Mon-day, the 23rd inst. Services will beheld at 6:30 o'clock Sunday eveningand 10 o'clock the following forenoon,and the public is cordially invited toattend.

Weather and Crop Notes.The following paragraphs are bor-

rowed from this week's Ascensionletter to the Louisiana Planter:

"It begins to look, as though thesummer is over and fall is 'on the job,'for there has been quite a decidedchange in the weather during the pastseveral days and a marked absenceof the sizzling temperatures whichcharacterized the fag end of Augustand early part of September. Whileit may be taken for granted that somereal warm days will be experiencedbefore the heated term makes its finaladieu, still it is believed that the 'back-bone' of summer has been broken andthat the melancholy season of the sereand yellow leaf is on its way.

"Refreshing showers have fallenthroughout the parish at frequent in-tervals during the present week, prov-ing of inestimables benefit to the fast-growing cane crop, which had begunto suffer a little for want of moisture.The crop is now making rapid pro-gress under the influence of almostperfect weather conditions, and bidsfair to be one of the largest turned outin this parish within recent years.

"Cotton picking is the order of theday in the seventh and eighth wards,as well as in other localities wherethis crop is cultivated to any extent.As had been expected, the yield is ap-proximately 25 to 30 per cent less thanwas obtained last year fron the sameacreage, but this shortcoming is morethan compensated for by the greatlyincreased prices at which the fleecystaple is selling.

"The work of harvesting the ricecrop has been brought to a successfultermination in Ascension and adjoin-ing parishes. A fine yield was ob-tained and excellent prices realized,and the season will go on record asone of the most auspicious and pros-perous in the hrstory of rice culturein this section of the state.

"The corn and hay crops have beenharvested and stored away and fallplowing is occupying the attention ofthe field forces on the various sugarplantations hereabout."

Bradford's Sentence Commuted.An Associated Press despatch sent

from Washington, D. C., under dateof Monday, Sept. 9, says:

"President Roosevelt today com-muted the two years' imprisonmentsentence of Judge James L. Bradford,of New Orleans, to expire Oct. 20.Judge Bradford has already servedtwo months of his time. This windsup one of the most notable cases ofland-grafting the federal governmenthas ever fought. The only conditionunder which executive favor could besecured was that Bradford should re-turn to the government the thousandor more acres of valuable land inLouisiana which he had fraudulentlysecured, and pay the fine of $5500.

"Bradford was one of the south'srichest and most prominent attorneys.On Dec. 23, 1905, he was convicted inNew Orleans of the crime of conspir-acy, but fought with every legal wea-pon possible up to the supreme courtof the United States until June 10 ofthis year, when the doors of the par-ish prison closed on him. Bowed withthe weight of 70 years, and the shock-ing disgrace, Bradford's conditionbecame so pitiful as to attract thesympathetic support of bankers, clergy,business and professional men in manysouthern states. Several United Statessenators and congressmen used theirinfluence to secure a pardon before hewent to jail. The president refusedone application. Finally the prison-er's age and the state of his healthprompted action, but only after prom-ise of full restitution of his ill-gottenproperty."

Political Rally at Oalves.A grand fair and political rallj

was held at Galvez last Saturday aft.ernoon for the benefit of the buildingfund of the Galvez graded school, andproved an unqualified success in everyparticular. The assemblage was pre.sided over by W. A. Sibley, candi.date for the legislature from this par-ish, who introduced as the firstspeaker Hoen. J. Y. Sanders, the onlygubernatorial aspirant in attendance.Mr. Sanders spoke along the usuallines, expressing confidence in the out-come of the primary and explainingthe principles for which be standsand which are embodied in the plat-form issued by him at the outset ofthe campaign. He declared that hehad said nothing against the person-ality of either of his opponents, andthat he does not intend to do so. Heurged his friends not to indulge inany personalities whatsoever, no mat-ter what the provocation might be,and requested them to assist him incarrying on a clean, decent Demo-cratic fight. He further stated that herepudiated the support of any manwho attacked the personal characterof either Col. Wilkinson or Gen. Jas-tremski. These sentiments were wildlycheered. In conclusion Mr. Sandersexpressed his thanks for the warmthof the reception accorded him, andfor the numerous offers of support hehas received from the New River sec-tion of Ascension parish.

State Senator P. M. Lambremont,of St. James, and Judge S. McD.Lawrason, of East Feliciana, candi-dates for lieutenant governor, werealso present and spoke briefly.

Immediately after the meeting Mr.Sanders drove to Burnside andcaught a Mississippi Valley train forNew Orleans.

Verdict for Dr. PierceAGAINST THE

Ladies' Home Journal.Sending truth after a lie. It is an old

maxim that "a lie will travel sevenleagues while truth is getting its bootson," and no doubt hundreds of thousandsof good people read the unwarranted andmalicious attack upon Dr. R. V. Pierceand his "Favorite Prescription "publishedin the May (1904) number of the Ladies'Home Journal, with its great black dis-play headings, who never saw the hum-ble, groveling retraction, with its incon-spicuous heading, published two monthslater. It was boldly charged in the sland-erous and libelous article that Dr. Pierce'sFavorite Prescription, for the cure ofwoman's weaknesses and ailments, con-tained alcohol and other harmful ingredi-ents. Dr. Pierce promptly brought suitagainst the publishers of the Ladies'Home Journal, for $200,000,00 damages.

Dr. Pierce alleged that Mr. Bok, theeditor, maliciously published the articlecontaining uch false and defamatorymatter wl the intent of Injuring hisbusin urthermore, that no alcohol, orother urlous. or habit-forming, drugsare, or er vere, contained in his "Fa-vorite es iption"; that said medicineis mad f m native medicinal roots andconta no harmful Ingredients what-ever d that Mr. Bok's malicious state-me were wholly and absolutel false.

loIf the retractio. n nrintd bv said ae wer ce ,nv e-

a ier' ' ch tsa

- Oe t e a l-

ese facts were also proven n tthe action in the Supreme Court. But thebusiness of Dr. Pierce was greatly injured bythe publication of the libelous article withits great display headings, while hundreds ofthousands who read the wickedly defamatoryarticle never saw the humble groveling re-traction. set in small type and made as incon-spicuous as possible. The matter was. how-ever brought before a jury in the SupremeCourt of New York State which promptlyrendered a verdict in the Doctor's favor.Thus his traducers came to grief and theirbase slanders were refuted.
