SATURDAY. NOV. 21 1908.

Kwitcherkicken. Business is good.

AMr. Bryan is a great success as a

standing candidate, but not as a run-

ning one,

The gladsome holiday season is ap-

proaching. Now is tie time to adver-tise your business and pay your politax.

Oh, for just one Louisiana Republi-can in congress' He'd be worth moreto the state in the next few months than

twice the seven Democrats who will an-swer roll-call as her representatives.

What caLe grower sugar manufac-

turer, rice producer or lumberman inLouisiana wouldn't breathe freer if

Henry C, Warmoth instead of AlbertEstopina had been sett o congressfrom the first district?

Chairman Mack says l• thinks Mr.Bryan will not be a candidate for thepresidency again The gentleman fromNebraska may show the gentlemanfrom Buffalo that he "has anotherthink coming" four years heace.

Mr. Fellow Citizen, be sure thatamong the other things you have to bethankful for on Thanksgiving Daynext week is the fact that you havepaid your poll tax for 1908-or won'tforget to pay it before the end ofDecember.

President Roosevelt and Gov. Sanders have designated Thursday, the26th instant, as Thanksgiving Day.The Chief hopes that all of its readerswill have much to be thankful for onthat date, and a great deal more onthe same day a year hence.

There is one thing on which theAmerican people have cause to con-gratulate themselves, and that is thefact that not only was the campaignjust closed clean, and conducted onthe highest plane, but, also, that however it had ended the people wouldhave raised to the highest office a manof personally clean and pure life andin every moral sense worthy to be anexemplar to the nation's youth. Forwhat other people on earth can asmuch be said?

If Mr. Bryan should become presi-dent of the Nebraska State Universityhe might appropriately bear in mindthe marked talents of National Chair-man Norman E. Mack as a computerand forecaster of electoral votes andhave him called to the chair of mathe-matics. The achievements of Mr. Mackin this line of effort during the recentcampaign entitle him to a niche on thetemple of fame alongside of "MulberrySellers," Sir John Falstaff and theother noted lightning calculators ofhistory.

President-elect Taft sounded whathas been fitly called "the keynote ofprosperity" in a stench to the Cio-cinnati Commercial Club: "Every bus-iness man who is obeying the law maygo ahead with all the energy in hispossession; every enterprise which iswithin the statutes may proceed with-out fear of interference from the ad-ministration when acting legally; butall interests within the jurisdiction ofthe federal government may expect arigid enforcement of the laws againstdishonest methods."

A committeeof Louisiana and Texasrice producers has gone to Washing-ton to represent to the ways and meanscommittee of congress the absolutenecessity of continuing the protectionto that industry afforded by the prev-alent tariff schedule. It is safe tosay that the enthusiastic but sadlymisguided Acadian Democrat who do.nated a sack of rice to be sold for thebenefit of tie Bryan campaign fundisn't a member of the committee, andthat his fellow rice-growers will hopethat he has crawled into an obscurehole and pulled it in after him.

The grand jury at Nashville, Tenn.,has\returned indictments against threepersons for complicity in the killingof Ex-United States Senator E. W.Carmack, who was shot to death onthe streets of that city November 9 byRobin J. Cooper. The accused areDuncan B. and Rlobin J. Cooper,father and son, and John D. Sharp,ex-sheriff of Davidson county, theCoopers being named as principalsand Sharp as accessory before thefact. The younger Cooper is rapidlyrecovering from the wcund in theshoulder and powder burns on theface wh:ch he received in the streetduel with Mr. Carmack.

Private MaIrket Ordinance Re-Enacted.The Donaldsonville common council

at its regular session of last Wednes-

day evening re-enacted the municipal

ordinance permitting the operation of

the four private markets that have

been conducted for several years in

localities remote from the public

markethouse, and this step was mani-

festly in accord with equity, justice

and public sentiment. There were twosides of the question to be considered,as suggested by The Chief, and theirdiscussion at the council meeting wasquite animated and thorough. A mi-

nority of the council and of the com-

munity at large will probably dissentfrom the action and view of the ma-

jority, as is usual in such case-,

butthere is ample evidence in the numor-nusly signed petition presented in be-

half of the maintenance of the private

markets, and in the tenor of the dis-

cussions `among the citizens of thetown, for reiterating the declaration

that the final disposition of the matter

by our munitipal legislators meets the

approval and indorsement of a de-cisive majority of their constitutents.

It will be noted that the council has

not thrown open the door for the in-discriminate establishment of pI ivatemarkets, and such a course would beexceedingly unwise. What has- been

done is merely to restore the co:,dition

of affairs that existed prior to the re-peal of the ordinance permitting themayor to issue li-enscs in his discre-tion for the opening of private mar-kets, and to ad4 the additionalrestraint and re quirement that the con-sent of the council must be obtainedas a prerequisite to the future grant-ing of such licenses.

There is little likelihood of any de-mand or reasonable pretext arising inthe near future for increasing thepresent number of private markets,and it is to be expected that the pro-

per authorities will exercise rigidsupervision over these placr s of busi-ness, to the end that the law and or-dinances appertaining thereto shall beimplicitly obeyed and the publichealth fully protected. It is but fairto say, on the authority of reputablecitizens claiming to be qualified tojudge by personal observation, thatin the matter of general cleanlinessthe private markets of Donaldsonviilehave compared more than favor-arblheretofore with the town's public mar-ket, and that there is seldom if eversuch littering of the vicinity of theprivate establishments with boofs andbones of slaughtered animals as issometimes made manifest to the eyesand nostrils of passers- by in CrescentPlace. If the private markets arekept in as good sanitary conditionhenceforth as they have been up to thistime, and the public market is re-quired to conform to an equal stand-ard, there will be no serious groundfor complaint on this score by the peo-pie of our town.

A Flagrant Outrage.Hon. E. A. O'Sullivan, a prominent

New Orleans attorney at law, formerlya citizen of Lafourche parish, wtherehe filled the office of district attorneywith creditable distinction many yearsago, was made the victim on last elec-tion day of what appears to have beena most dastardly and unprovoked as-sault by a gang of political hbelersand toughs from the unsavory purlieusof Gretna. The assault occurred nearthe poll in the village of Kenner dur-iog the progress of the election, andgrew out of Col. O'Sullivan's cinnec-tion as legal adviser with one of theDemocratic factions contending forsupremacy in the affairs oftbe munici-nalitv.

As the attorney and his son, accom-panied by Mr. Edward Stoulig, one ofthe candidates for mayor, approacl:edthe poll, they were int-rcepted by theGretna gang-manifestly imported atthe instigation of the Jefferson parishpolitical bosses for the purpose of con-trolling the Kenner contest-and boththe elder and younger O'Suilivan werebeaten and knocked down, the colonel,besides being bruised and cut, sus-taining the additional indignity ofhaving part of his side whiskersshorn off by a deputy sheriff whowielded his knife for the purpose ofcc:mmitting this outrage while twoother toughs hild the victim's armspinioned to his body. The stalwartattorney struck out and de'e-ded himself as best he could, but was sonoverpoweted and felled by the brutaland lawless crowd.

Col. O'Sulliva6, although a lifelongDemocrat, has noblicly announced hisdetermination henceforth to cast hislot-outside of the Democratic party,believing that "the Democratic systemprevalent in the state of Louisiana"is directly responrsitbe for the flagraotoutraee perpetrated upon iiinmself, hisson and the law abidtng citzz-,., ofKenner, as above related, The UnitedStates grand jury has been a ked totake cognizance of the violent inter-ference by armed iuterlpers with theproper conduct of a general e:(.t onat wlich presidentiai lehctors ana (on-grtssional candidates were bei•,vowed for, and it is t i be hopeo tb.federal inquisitors will lind author,tyand evidence for returning indic,,kne:tsagaiust the guilty parties. Thereseems to be no means of curbing suchlawlessness or punishing such crimi-nals through parochial or state chian-nels, and under this intolerable condi-tion of affairs an appeal to hiherauthority for protection of the persorsand civil rights of citizens appears tooffer the only Possible avenue of relief.

Jefferson parish and its dominantpolitical bosses have long been a l.,wunto themselv s, independent and con-temptuous of any other law or author-ity than their own sweet will. TIhemost glaring violations of the st-utory and moral odes are perpet:at-dwithin the precincts of this delectablepolitical principality with insolent im:punity, and the periodical exposuresand protests of the public press of NewOrleans have no greater suppressiveeffect upon the lax breakers than isdiscernible in the pouring of water ona duck's back.

SUGAR SQUIBS.

Progress of th.i Grindiing Camupaign in As-

cension anid EIlsewbere-I terms of In-

terest from u Field and Factory.

The all day rain on Friday of lastweek was followed by a sudden dropin temperature and the mercury de-scended to .or near the freezing pointboth Saturday and Sunday nights,thin ice and heavy wtite frosts beinggenerally obser red the following morn-ings. The cane was quite severely"scotched" by the unexpected freeze,with the result that all of the factorieshereaway suspended operations in ahurry so as to afford the field forcesan opportunity to windrow portionsof thecrop. Of course, the cane storedaway in this manner, as well as thatleft standing, is comparatively safefrom further damage unless thereshould be a soaking rain followed bya warm spell, in which event the frost-bitten stalks will sour and a heavyloss will be sustained. However,such excellent progress has been madein the work of harvesting the cropowing to the almost unprecedentedlyfavorable weatl er which has prevailedsince the opening of the campaign,that it is hoped the remainder of ;h-cane can be gathered and crushed before such a catastrophe eventuates.

Dave Dill and Theo. Michel, re-spectively chief and assistant sugar-boiler of the Miles Company's NewHope factory in upper Ascension,spent a couple of days here during theweek with their families, operationshaving been suspended at New Hopewhile the field forces were windrowingcane.

Adolph Falcon and his brother,who for some years past have beencultivating a tenants' tract on theLemann Company Palo Alto planta-tion, will leave Ascension about thefirst of January to locate on the Jef-ferson Planting Comany's Willwoodplace in St. Charles parish.

C. N. Gautreau, of Gonzales, whois in charge of the double effects inthe big Belle Alliance factory of E. &J. Kock, passed through Donaldson-ville during the week en route to andfrom his home, where he enjoyed abrief visit to his family. Belle Al-liance closed down Tuesday afternoonto give the field forces a chacce towindrow some of the cane nipped bylast week's freeze, resumir', operatiorsThureday mornirg. Chief Sugar cookFred. Werner, Sr., Assistant BoilersJoe Werner, F'red., Jr., and EugeneWerner, and Cane weigher Bob Miurchwere also visit.rs to Donaldsonvilleduring the week's idle period.

Florian J, Michel, one of -the effici-ent at sietant sugar-boilers at the EvanHall factory, took advantage of thetemporary suspension of operationsat that mill tospend a few days withrelatives here.

Chester Israel, head sugar-makerat the Gold Mine factory in St. Johnparish, who was in town for a coupleof days this w(ek, reported that thebreaking of a return plate Wednesdaynight put the house temporarily out ofbusiness and necessitated a br'e` stopfor repairs. Ever3thing was runningalong smoothly up to the time of theaccident, and unless further delaysshould be encountered Gold Mine willwind up an unusually successful cam-paign about the 25th of next month.Mlr. Israel expects to leave for Mexicoearly in January to accept a position

as chief sugar-boiler of one of thelargest factories in the cane districtof that country.

Strect Fair Next Week,The Lachman Company tippodrome

Shows, which made such a favorableimpression on the occasion of theirapea:irance h're in March last, willexhibit in Donaldsonviile next week,opening Monday, Nov. 23, and clos-ing the following Sunday night. Thevarious attractions carried by thecompany will be located in CrescentPlace on both sides of the market andalong the neutral ground in Missis-sippi satie-t opposite that structure,thus causing no impediment in streettraffic or inconvenience of any kind tobusiness interests. As our peoplehave reason to know, the organiza-tion is all that it claims to be andgives entire satisfaction in every re-spect, and if the weather is favorableit will doubtless be accorded a liberalmeasure of patronage during its en-pazenment here.The Daily Corinthian of Corinth,

MIiss., had the following to say aboutthe company, which showed there re-cently:

"The Lachman Carnival Company,playing here this week under the aus-pices of the local tribe of Red Men,opened to the public last night, givingtheir initial performance in the Georgia plantation show, where the audi-ence taxed the tent to its capacity.The negro singing, dancing and dia-Ingues kept everyone in an uproarfroim start to finish."N xt to open was the trained an-

imal sh1ow, in which the b, ars, in c;.,p:-tivity only a few montl.s, are made toiperformn in a m'nner that is tt uiv re-muatr!kbl. The lions--two larre, fe-r cius looking beas:s---are hardledand controlled as easily as kittens.plhis is the sho-w that atpeals to tihciildren as well a- to the grown peo-t!e. From the animal sho)w a rushvas made to 'Fairyland,' one of thebest ten cent attractions on the mid-way.

"Afterwards, visits were paid to thehippodrome, "Nei!a, "the Ferris wheel,steam carousal and "Fairies in theWell," where an hcur or tBo of de-lihtful amusement was provided.

"Along the midway are many boothswhich attract the merry throrg, andeverything is conducted fair andsquare, as the management and entirecompany are all nice people aLd willpermit aouthing but a square deal.The octopus, the real live sea devil,the snakes and the various other attractio,ns come in for their share ofpraise, and, all in all, the whole showis the best of its kind which has evervisited Corinath."

THE SLEEPING SICKNESSW ICH MEANS DEATH

How many readers have heard of thisterrible disease? It prevails in thatfar-away country-Africa-especiallythe Congo district. It is caused bythe bite of the tsetse fly. When itbites a person, the sleeping symptomsbegin and finally the sufferer sleepsuntil death occurs.

Contrast this with the peaceful,balmy sleep of health. Is there any-thing more wearing than to lie awakeat night, tossing about, nervous, withcold feet, hot head and mercy knowsWhat else? Short of letting the tsetsely bite us we would do almost any-thing for relief. How can we pre-vent it? Mr. George Hayes, ofUnion City, Pa., writes: "I had lostmy appetite, was all run-down, couldnot sleep nights. I had tried every-thing without relief. Vinol was rec-ommended, and to my surprise, ithelped me at once; gave me a splendidappetite, and now I sleep soundly."

What Vinol did for Mr. Hayes, it willdo for every run-down, nervous andoverworked person who cannot sleep.
