disbanded it. The colored voters
who are for Hoadly will o get to-

The people of Louisiana are for
Nichols. The press and the rings
and cliques may be for this man or
that, but the people are for man
true and tried, and when their voice
is heard, its meaning will be unmis-
taxable. His purity and integrity of
character can not not be questioned.
He possesses more of the elements
of real craftsmanship, than any
other leader. He is capable of being
Governor of the whole people. He
was shamefully laid aside by the
ring to make room for its TOOLS
The crew that has succeeded him,
have made it their business to
hound him down, and to secure their
own continuance in Office. 1t will
be a proud day for the plundered
people of Louisiana, when Francis
I. Nichols is again at the helm, and
if the wishes of the people are re-
spected, the day when Nichols will
again be Governor is not far in the
tuture.-C Claiborne Guardian.

We notice that some persons are
intimating that they are satisfied
that Gov. Nichols will not accept
the nomination for Governor. We
do not know what authority these
persons have for so stating. If
Gov. Nichols will not accept, he GER
tainly will say so. We believe that
Nichols will accept. We do not
think that he desires the office, but
if he is the choice of the people and
is nominated, we are satisfied he will
accept. Because he is not seeking
the place, is noreason why he should
not be nominated. 1t is about time
the place was seeking the man.

France is developing her military
power to the utmost. Her total avail
able force, including the territorial
reserve, is believed to be 5000, 900
men-nearly one-twelfth of her entire
population. Germany has even more
soldiers than France; Russia has about
the same lumber; Austria has half as
many, and Italy has nearly as many
as Austria, and now that France in
tends to crafty the war-like spirit of
her people with an expedition against
Anam and the Chinese, the whole
European force will doubtless be
thrown into state of restlessness.-
Should the great powers agree each
to take 1000, 900 men out of their
armies and put them to useful work
in private life, the results would be
vastly beneficial not only to them
selves but to the world at large.

New Orleans States, 18th: "For

State Treasury is on a cash basis so
far as the general fund is concerned.
The recent decision of the United
States Supreme Court, securing to
this fund the RENTED interest,

There are other ends to be gained,
even as regards personal happiness.
That man is far from being an object
of envy who never wants holiday;
who would rather work than some
times rest; who enjoys nothing so
much as the society of his dear work
and finds no book such pleasant read
ing as the Price Current. Such men
do not live at all, in the true meaning
of the word. They only exist-they
vegetate, like any other fungus
Tt is pleasant to see that there is
growing disposition to take this view
of the case and, by legal enactment,
to increase the number of holidays -
Nothing is lost to the sum of capital
by a reasonable enjoyment of the
pleasures of life. The ride, the drive,
the participation in athletic sports
and social gatherings, the picnic, the
excursion, are SO many medicinal
agents. How would the world fare if
we had no Sunday? Looking at the
matter not from religious but from
the social and sanitary points of view,
how necessary is that interval of one
day in seven. How much fresher we
come to the work after the rest Sun
day. How jaded should we become
if our working week consisted of
seven days. Is the world poorer for
Christmas festivities; for keeping New
Years Day? The ancients had a
phrase, "Meas sana in corpore sano"
"a sound mind in sound body, and
certainly by an occasional holiday we
do both physical and mental good to
ourselves.

The people of the United States
must have an unfaltering faith in the
purity and virtue of our institutions,
or else they are criminally Indifferent
to the influence of the very worst
class of social and political malcon-
tents and revolutionists, to permit
such men as Herr Most, and others
we could name, to come amongst us
and spread the vile poison of COM
munism, nihilism and whatever else
In the shape of anarchy, that may
have originated in the disordered
minds of fanatical few who have
been groaning under the extortions
of the despotisms of the Old World.
We profess to love the institutions of
our country, and no right do we hold
more sacred than that OF q free ex-
preston of opinion in all matters of
politics and government, nor would
we, for any consideration, see that
right abridged, but we do protest, in
the name of that liberty against grant
ing this class of foreign political
eranks the protection of our laws
while they disgorge their rotten
stencil in the face of those who have
been born and reared under a form
of human liberty of which they have
but the least conception.

Tie Charm of Fiction.
From Chambers Journal

Literary preferences. like love prefer

says of him that the days on which he
detecte l., in the dark recesses of a Ho,
born bookstall, some ,rumpery romance
that had been in the Cambridge %circula-
ting library IN the year 1920. was a date
marked with a white stone in this calen-
der. He exulted over the discovery of
a wretched novel cal ed "Conscicnce,"
which he owned to be execrable, as tri-
unphantly as If it had been a first folio
edition of Shakespeare with an inch and
a half of margin. "NNhy is it," he asks
in his diary, that l can read twenty
times over the thrash Of, and that /
