Reputation.

From the Louisiana Rapidesl ncmocrtl
Almost every day this word is heard
ON the streets and in the conversations
of gentlemen who are the leaders of
public opinion aud whose views are
worthy uf serious consideration. The
management of the State government,
under its present officials, is ANYTHING
but satisfactory. While discontinued
murnlurs are heard from the best citi-
zcns almost every day. against those
who control our financial affairs, this is
not the worst, us the Democratic party,
is seriously affected by their conduct.
Unquestionably q large majority Of the
people of this Parish are in favor Of IT,
ducing the debt or, at least, the interest
thereon, and if the present state of tax
alton is kept w., the disposition will be
to scale the debt, or repudiatc it alto
Captain Jetfries, James C.. Wise and
others, who have the request and conf
dence of the people, are openly in favor
of reducing the interest on the bonded
debt to onefalf of the present rate. How
much further these gentlemen are pre-
pared to go we cannot say, as they are
discreet and look well to the interest OF
the State and the people.
The idea that the Board Of Liquids
ton is ready and willing to pledge all
the taxes due to the general fund to any
Bank which will advance the money TO
pay the interest on the bonded debt to
the exclusion of all other creditors and
Constitutional officers, is unjust and
will not be acquiesced in by the people
II the State is bankrupt let us SO declare
it and settle as this class of unfortunate
debtors usually do. If not, let the taxes
be collected by Il strict adherence to
law, force every one to bear his burden,
and not rob one set OF creditors, who
arc working for the State, to pay inter
est on q fraudulent debt. Before this
there has been an honest division of
opinion on the best method to revise
the Constitution, but now all, it seems,
ate in favor of a Constitutional Convcn-
ton, III order to rectiiy tho abuses Of
the government. The present State
government, to say the least of it. is
weak and does not meet the wants and
demands, of the people. \ new deal,
without embarrassing allialiccs or prom
ises, is the only hope OF change. We
say now to the members elect of the
Legislature that a very short session is
expected, and, if the whole sixty days
is consumed in useless debate and un-
necessary legislation, that the Demo
cratic party will be hopelessly injured.
Fifteen days, at the outside, is long
enough to do what is required. Give
way to Constitutional Convention,
that will have spower to rcpudiatc the
fraudulent debt, or at least, cut down
the interest.

The Deficiency.
----

tClinton EAST F,liciana) Patriot,
The last Legislature, in preparing the
late proposed amendments to the present
abominahlc State constitution, made it
obligatory upon the Secretary Of State
to cause these suggested patches to be
published ninety days in one or more
papers in each parish in the State.
In accordance with and in obedience
to this law, Mr.. Strong authorized forty
nine papers of the State to insert these
proposed amendments. To defray the
expense thus incurred, the last Lc=is-
laturc made an appropriation of 5000.
The amount due by law to each of the
forty mine papers for the publication of
these proposed amendments the spcci-
fled length Of time averages about S344i
This amount multiplied by forty mine,
would make S16,S5G, leaving a deficiency
III thu, above named appropriation of
some sill $50.
In these proposed amendments, ac-
cOrdlng to the measurement OF the New
the State, there are forty-three squares,
which inserted fifteen times at one dol
lar for the first insertion of each square,
and fifty cents for the remaining four
teen insertions OF the forty three squares.
would make exactly S344 due each PAPER.
When the 5000 already appropriated
by the Legislature is divided pro rata
between the forty-nine papers, each
paper will receive, in what arc termed
ordinary warrunts, about $10a. These
warrants to-day are worth from thirty
fire to forty cents on the dolIar. Conse-
quently, for 1914 worth of work, the
poor printer will receive only about $40
in actual cash.
Will the incoming Legislature look
into the matter and sec that the news
paper publisher is paid for the labor
that he has performed

sunday afternoon, while three or four
hundred slght-secrS we're luating around
the entrance to the State fair grounds. n
lonesome looking covered wagon. drawn
by q faded old horse, aud driven bv a
woman, hove in view on the Holden
road. 1t was plain enough thst some
family was on the move, aud it WAS soon
ascertained that the family consisted of
oriy woman and two children, The
wagon stopped as it reached the crowd,
and, bending toward to look on every
side. the woman inquired
Been a fout here ="
a boy answered her that the State fai,,
was about to open, and she called to the
children under the cover:
Sam, you wake up, and Mary, you
wage mp, Tor here's the biggest crowd
OF folks you ever seem"
No one in the great crowd had ever
seen such a homely woman. She was
erosa.eyed, teeth out, nose awry, and
mouth big enough for two. A man in
the crowd stepped forward, after long
look at her face, and said
Madam, VIC are offering prize for
the homeliest woman in America. DO
you wish to enter fori -
How much is it " she asked.
1.-Two dollars.'

Then sot me down as, the woman
who's going to win that two dollars OF

She got down. The crowd ioared and
threw up a hundred hats, but she drew
herself up and solemnly remarked:
when they ottega prize on the home
hest woman in America I'm going up to
the head of the class like i four-l,pss
team! Whar's the jctlgcs :"
Madam" said the nlau who had pre-

palm and said

ca, accept this premium -

reply, and in five minutes she had four
ar five dollars in change tossed ut her.
When the shower ceased she made one
step from the ground to Il seat on the
wagon, shook mp the old horse, bowed
right and left, aud said:
Now, Sam, yon git back thar, and
Mary. git back thar, and we'll drive
along to the fust vacant lot and go into

The Amendments,


The last legislature submitted to the
people, number Of amendments to the
State constitution. It was ordered that
these amendments should be published
in at least one newspaper in each parish.
They were published in the Iberville
South the length Of time required by
law and the bill for their publication
amounts to $344. 5000 were appro-
priated for the publication OF these
amendments, and we are told by Onr
agent in New Orleans that on pro rata
division of TIL ia fund We can get between
$50 and $500 in warrants, aud these sold
at great discount, and after the coll
lectOr's commissions are deducted, we
are to cOutent Ourself with $40.
There is no press in the country that
!aborcd harder or endured more for the
sake OF party and for the establishment
Of good government than the Democra-
tic press of Louisiana. Ana there are
no portion of her people that have been
buffeted and treated with greater dis
respect than this same Democratic press
Of this State on all occasions. Instead
of fostering the great leFer that has
raised our statesmen into power, at
tempts arc being continually made, TO
reduce the fees and pitiful emOlumcnts
of the poor printer. 1t was the boast
of the Republicans that the support OF
their press in every town and haMlet In
the State is what kept them in power so
long. Az soon rs they deserted their
press down went their party.
We throw ont the above hints with
tie hope that the proper heed will be
taken by our solons in the Legislature
and justice may be done and prompt
payment be made of the just dues owing
to the press.

Drunk cnsacss im Oldcn Times.
now THE ANCIENTs REGARDED IT AND
PANIsHED OFFENDERS.

The offcnse OF drunkenness was a
ecpurce of great perplcNity among the
ancients, who tried every possible way
of dealing with it. If none succeeded,
probably it was because they did not
begin early enough, by interceptip9
some of tho ways and means by which
the insidious vice is melted and pro-
pagated. Severe treatment was often
tried to little effect. The Locrians, un-
der Zaleneus, made it u capital otfense
drink wine if it was not mixed with
water even an invalid was not exempt
ed from punishment unless by order OF
q physician. Pittaens of Mityiene made
a law that he who when drunk COM
mitted and oa'ense should suffer double
thepunisllment which he would do when
applauded this as the height of wisdom.
The Roman censors could ez,aei sena-
tor for being drunk and take away his
horse. Mahomet ordered drunkards to
be bastnaded with eighty blows. Other
nations thought of limiting the quantity
70 he drank at one time or at one sitting.
The Egyptians put some limit, though
what, is not stated. The Spartans also
had some limit. The Arabans Gxed
the quantity at twelve glasses a man,
but tue size of the glass was uDfOrtu
nately not clearly defined by the listo,
rians. The Angio-Saxons went no fur,
Their than to order silver nails to be fixed
ou the side of drinking cups so that
saci, might know the proper measure.
And it is said that it was done by King
Edgar, after noticing the DRUNKEN habits
OF the Danes. Lycurgns of Tllraee went
to the roof OF the matter by ordering
the vines to be cut down. And his con

Bulgaria. The Suevi prohibited wine
ia be imported, and the Spartans tried
to turn the vice into contempt 10y sys-
tematically smaking their slaves drunk
once a yeas to show their children how
foolish, and e6ntemptiblc men looked in
that state. Drunkenness was deemed
much more vicious in some classes of
persons than in otiefE, The ancient
Indians held it lawful Ia Kill Il king
when he was drunk. The .&ttenians
made ita capital ottense for q magistrate
tn be drunk and Charlemague imitat-
ed this by a law that judges on the bench
and pleaders should do their business
fast;ng. The Carthageni;lns prohibited
magistrates, governors, soldiers and SER
wants frosa any drinking. The Scots,
In the secons, century, made If u capital
otfense for mag .strates to be drunk, and
Constauton II Of Scotland, in sci, ex-
tended like punishment to yoang peo-
pie. Again. some laws tfRYe absolutely
prohibited wine from being drunk by
women; the Massilans so dee,saed, The
Romans did the same. and extended He !!

HOW THE COUNTRY PRESS HAS BEEN
GOrGED IN THEIR PUBLICATION.
THE STATE AND THE PRESS
columbia caldwell PARISH Herald

columbia caldwell PARISH Herald
\ week or two ago, we published an
article upon this subject setting forth
the scurvy treatment the country press
received at the hands OF tho late Leg
islaturc.
That Legislature not content with cut
ting downthc price Of public printing tif-
ty per cent, refused to appropriate the
necessary sums to pay printing bills even
at their own low rates. The consequence
OF this was that The newspapers of the
State got scarcely anything for work
faithfully and honestly done. We do
not desire to weary our readers with
a rciteratiou Of old complaints, but
it is our purpose to keep before the eyes
of the Legislature, that will convene
next month, the faith that the Democra-
tic party must keep fact with the Demo-
cratic press. The country press Of this
State has done yeOman work in freeing
it from the curse of Radicaism. and
now to he utterly ignored and sys-
tematically swindled by the party
for whose benefit, it has suffered and
wrought 80 much il more than it pro-
poses to bear. 1t the Democratic Con-
out the powerful agency of newspapers,
let it continue the niggardly, dishonest
and dishonorable course that was adopt
ed by the late Legislature towards the
press of this State, and we venture to
say the opportunity Will be afforded it.
As we have all along claimed. the press
does not ask favors at the hands of any;
it only asks justice and il that Justice
be not freely given, as it is given to
every other class OF men, then let our
patriotic statesmen look to some other
source for ai0-ncwspapcrs will aid
them no more.
