SERVING TWO rlASTERS.
The Cosmopolitan Magazine
has been, and is now running a
series of articles by David
Graham Phillips under the head
of "The Treason of the Senate,"
showing how the Senate is con
trolled by Standard Oil and other
"interests." Among the sena
tors charged with serving the
"interests" instead of thje peo
ple, is Senator Joseph Weldon
Bailey, of Texas. The charges
were discountenanced by his
friends and denied by M r. Bailey.
Recently Mr. Pierce, of the
Waters-Pierce Oil Co., a part of
the Standard Oil monopoly, tes
tified before. an examining com
mittee that Senator Bailey is a
trusted and confidential em
ployee of his company. This
has raised a menacing opposition
to his re-election, which was to
have taken place at the assem
bling of the legislature in No
vember.
Mr. Bailey now acknowleges
that he has been employed as
counsel by the Waters-Pierce
Oil Co., and Maintains fis right
to accept employment from that
company or any other company.
But inasmuch as all monopolies
are enemies of the people, it is
rather difficult to understand
how a man can serve the people
and their enemy at the same
time. Serving two masters may
be a senatorial accomplishment,
but it will be difficult to convince
the average man that it can be
done with justice to both parties.
And in Senator Bailey's case, as
he says he is after a competence,
his constituents should not need
geometrical demonstration to
show them that he did not slight
his master Standard Oil's busi
ness.
Mr. Bailey's contention that
he is free to accept employment
from corporations, and those
corporations national in scope
besides, while serving as a rep
resentative of the people, is an
evidence that that clear view of
right and duty that measures up
to old fashioned morals does not
obtain in the Senate, and that it
is high time for such as he to be
retired. And the sooner the
people send such to deserved ob
scurity and replace them with
men who are willing to serve the
people and the people only for
the salary paid, the sooner will
they be relieved of the trusts and
their robbery.
LOUISIANA WIDB AWAKE.
Under the above heading the
American School Board Journal,
a periodical of national scope and
influence, contains the following
mention, in the current issue, of
the Louisiana State Association
of Sohool Boards:
The State of Louisians has organ
ised a State association of school
boards and made its first meeting,
held at Baton Rouge, a most success
tel one. Only the most practical top
hse and those of immediate concern
'era disoussed.
Dr. N. P. Moss of Lafayette was
komored with the presideney of the
ewly o-gslssed Louisiana School
Dord Amsoelatlon, sad Mr. L. J.
Allesmea of Lafayette was made msesr.
tary. Mr. Alleinan is parish superin- I
tendent of schools at Lafayette. Dr.
Moss is president of the parish hoard
and one of the greatest friends of ed
ucation in the State.
The beginning is promising of a
useful career and to that end the asso
ciation has our well-wishes.
There should be no "faction"
in any city. The property of one
individual and every improve- º
ment made enhances the value of 4
all property in the corporation.
Our city is simply one big fam- 1
ily. When this is disco'rded
there is little progress. When
there is a united pull for any 1
thing, its accomplishment is
made easy. Envy, jealousy and
hatred are things to be despised.
Envy is a canker that gnaws
at the heart and makes folks
sour, disgruntled and unhappy;
jealousy warps the intellect and
makes us unfair in passing
judgment. Hatred doesn't pay
even from a sordid point of
view.-Farmerville Gazette.
The Governor and the Press.
Baton Rouge Truth.
A portion of the Louisiana
press would be without editorial
subjects were it not for the hate
they bear to the Governor. No
matter how successful his ad
ministration, he seems to be a
target for the venomous darts of
those who opposed him dur
ing the gubernatorial campaign,
aided by a few who are disap
pointed in not receiving what
they consider a suitable reward
for their support. No one has
better reason for feeling sore
than the editor of Truth. No one
supported Gov. Blanchard's can
didacy with more vigor or loy
alty and received less at his
hands. Nevertheless, as we la
bored zealously during the cam
paign for what we considered the
best interest of the State and as
Gov. Blanchard has made a model
Governor, doing more to eman
cipate the people from boss rule
than any of his predecessors, we
do not see that any petty griev
ance we may nourish should
cause us to comdemn one of the
best administrations the State
has ever had. If the Governor
has made mistakes at all they
were for leaving his enemies in
office to the exclusion of his
friends. Leaving the ammuni
tion in the hands of those who
are using it against him. In the
days of Truth's political activity,
opposition to candidates of the
party was confined to their can
didacy, but it was considered
disloyalty to attack the acts of a
Democratic Governor after the
election. And pray what has
Gov. Blanchard done that his
every act meets with unfriendly
criticism. Has he not met every
demand and advocated every
measure made by the people be.

fore his election? He certainly'
has; and having done so he
should be upheld and sustained
by loyal Democrats. We regret
the tendency of the times when
one "can see no good come out of
Nazereth," and would advise oce
young brethen of the press to r+';
serve their ammunition for use
during the fast approaching
campaign, instead of wasting it
upon one who can not offer for
the Governorship even though he
would. Let them train their
guns on a point where most ex
ecution may be done.
Cane Crop.
Louisiana Planter.
The salient point in the
weather record of the past week
has been the severe windstorm
prevalent on Wenesdav and
Thursday, the principal force of
which, however, was not felt in
the Louisiana sugar district, al
though the wind was strong
enough to blow down consider
able cane, and on the Lower
Coast, which is almost always the
chief sufferer from ourWest In
dian hurricanes, the cane has
been very generally blown down.
The blowing down of cane at this
time of the year is always an un
fortunate occurrence as the
canes become green and the
contents of sugar is materially
lessened, and with the short
crop, from a tonnage standpoint,
which we have already had to
chronicle, an additional draw
back in the way of green cane
will accentuate the situation in
an unfortunate way. The thin
stand and short canes with
which the .fields are mostly
covered has, however, caused
much less cane to be blown
than if the crop had been tall
and heavy, and in. few cases has
the,cane been blown down flat
enough to put it on the ground
and make it sprout. Our plant
ers must certainly congratulate
themselves on the passage
of the hurricane in its fullest in
tensity to the eastward of New
Orleans. Had the center of it
passed to the west of this city
the damage to the cane crop
would have been almost beyond
computatiou.
