TO THE VOTERS OF THE SEVENTH C('.: r'RESIONAL DISTRICT: al I[i t:! ict of l,(ui iina, S., i .+-c t to t'' actio, Of tle d: u, .ratic primary t( e l ti held September ti, 19'! . t IRespectfull y. A. P. P. 1. ci Less than three years ago J. Y. Sanders was elected to the exaultod position of Governor of the grtat state of Louisiana, by an overwhelm ling majority vote of the electors of the state. Mr. Sanders received thous ands of votes throughout the state he- 1 cause of the promises of political and b financial reforms that he made. What. may we ask, has Mr. Sanders done toward keeping these pledges? has.w be decreased the expenditures of the b state as he promised to do? On the a contrary, the expenitures of the state a have been increased seven millions of b dollars. Has this increase been for / the purpose of better providinLg for the . old t.onienerate veterans? No, on the r contrary, they are not receiving the , constitutitnal limit of $250,000, whicih i the state provides. In fact, the indi gent soldier, who gave the best years of his manhood to the defense of his country and her institutions and then voted for .1. Y. Sanders to fill the ex- t alted position of governor, gets on an average, the magnificent sum of 141 cents per day from that state. Yet while the state has not sufficient funds to give the Confederate veteran his just dues, nor to pay off any portion of the state debt, nor to sufficiently pro vide for the care of the deaf, dumb, blind and insane of our land, yet Mr. Sanders. through a subservient legis lature, has been able to provide pretty handsomely for his political friends and henchmen. Such, for instance, as raisins, the salary of his secretary from ,2,Mu}0 to $3,000 per year, -increas ing the Traveling Auditor's salary from $3,600 to $5,000 per year %\ith $20,000 traveling expenses, increasing the salary of the keeper of the capitol from $9,000 to $12.000 per year. Nor did his generosity stop at increasing the salary of his friends, but by the Creation of new commissions, he has been enabled to provide for a ,coodlv nunber of political parasites otherwise unprovided for. This is the work of the state: in other words, the work of J. Y. Sanders. Governor Sanders has ildAed an other card, face down, onu the Ioard of Louisiana pulitic-. .fter having I ured the appointment to, the Inited tates Senate, hv methods, which are believed by imany, at least, to b~ave been contrary to thie Federa! Coonsti tution, and thereby arrousing more bitter animosity toward himself and thepolitical riu? of the state, than any other single official act, he hIas now surrendered the high o(lice this obtained, in order to remain governor of the state. What Gov. Sanders' purpose is in renouncing the senator shiv, remains to be seen. Whether it was in the hope of rendering greater service to the Panama exposition, or for the purpose of repairing his po litical fences throughout the state, which have become considerably shaky of late. or whether fhr reasons that have not !\ct materialized. Such an act of reuncelation is exceedinglv unicommoin, especiially in one with the bump of political anlbition as highly developed as it ic in MIr. Sauders. Emperor Willism, of Germany, found ouit, doubtlres to, his great sur prise, that the woarli loes move. In a speedh dplmor-d tsoere the provincial banluquet iat Koeishelr'g, a few days ago, the Emperor attsmpted to assume the role of the monarchs of medieval Europe, expiating upon the divine right of kings, and declaring that he held his autherity to rule, from high heaven and not from parliaments and assemmblatges of men. While such as serimons werethe common dictum of kings five hundred years ago, it fails to meet with with the desired appro bation of the german people in this enlightened age. as the Emperor is fioding out by the torrent of adverse criticism that he has arroused through out not only Germany, but the whole of Furope. Col. Wmin. Jennings Bryan comes out with the annoudcement that he will not be acandidat', f r the demo cratic nomination fo ,Irsident in 1912.

A respectable woman, with an in-. n1 fant in her arms, entered the cathe dral at Antwerp one morning when the priest was alone. The woman ad- 1I: dressed him in a most earnest and her affecting manner, and with due hu mility unfolded her tale of sorrow. Her child, she said, was suffering int from some mortal malady; the skill of the physician had been all in vain, and she was at last convinced that ing nothing could save her beauteous babe of from the jaws of death but being placed for a moment in the arms of he her tutelary saint. Be The saint was stuck up in a niche bey of the wall with a neat balcony be fore him, in the form of a goodly mar- int ble statue. On The priest was at last moved by her entreaties; he procured a ladder, ascended to the sacred niche, entered bu the balcony, and, placing the babe in re" the arms of the statue, asked the grateful mother if she was satisfied. ti "Perfectly so," said that lady; and ex carefully removing the ladder she of walked coolly out of the church, leaving her rosy infant, the astonished priest, and the unconscious saint all th equally elevated, there to remain till the next brother of the community should arrive. th Roanoke Newv The farmers in this vacinitv have begun harvesting their rice.
