The Living Issue, temperance
organ, says of the Moffett bell punch,
that "as a revenue policy it will
doubtless. prove great success in
one sense. AS a measure calculated
to benefit the liquor interest, it will
be a still greater success"
The bell punch will undoubtedly
prove successful as method Of rals

liquor dealers by protecting them
from the grand army of deadbeats

The continued business depre

The continued business depres-
sion in Europe, and particularly in
Germany, is leading to singular re
suits. The State Department at
Washington is receiving dispatches
from United States Consuls in Ger
many describing the distress that
exists in the manufacturing districts
of that country. Most of the facto.
ries are closed, and the workmen and
their families are subsisting on pa
earnings. Among the number oil
sufferers are very many American
lied Germans who had left this coun
try during the past business depres
sion here in the hope of better wages
in the Fatherland. These are now
applying to the American Consuls
for aid both to live and to return tc
their adopted country. The officers
are as general thing powerless te
assist them.

rumors among the patriotic aud en-
ergetic expectants and lookers-out
for the pap Offices in the gift of the
soverelgns of Rapides Parish, which
sound To US like the echoes of the
dead past, and are just now too far
ahead Of time for US to form an idea
of their real intentions or OF their
bottom for long trail. The ides OF
sombre November are 50 long ways
off," and our advice, for which we
make no charge, is to keep cool, let
we'll alone, keep out of the breach
for the present, avoid a long train

are an honest producer, stick closely
to it, make your bread for a rainy
day and wait for the old vehicle.
For the present We have no advice
for the consumer aud deadbeat, for we
believe the people are an unit to lay
them quietly on the shelf and leave
to us the task of writing their
obituaries!
