WHEN the remains of John
Howard Payne; author of "Home,
Sweet Home" were brought to this
country, two years ago, for rein
terment in Oakhill Cemetery,
Georgetown, the slab that had COW
cred the grave in the Cemetery at
St. George, Tunis, where Payne
bad been buried thirty years before,
was also brought to America, and
the spot that had been for many
years the shrine of all English Wis
itors to Tunis was left unmarked.
When Mr.. Corcoran, who had de-
frayed the expense of bringing
home the remains of the dead poet
and of placing over his new grave
all appropriate monumen', heard of
the neglected appearance of the
first grave, and that the friends of
Payne in Tunis felt a deep regret
that at least the simple old slab
had not been left over the empty
tomb, he authorized John Worth
ingtun. Z. S. Consul at Malta, to
have constructed a suitable memo
rial and to place it in the cemetery

has had done, and the result is an,

The following paragraph is
taken from the last issue of the
Shreveport Times. 1t is in refer
ence to the question Of prohibition,
now in vogue in Rapides and being
strongly agitated by the people of
Natchitoches. After reading the
same one is bound to admit that
the writer knows whereof he talks:
II Il
The French and the Germans,
the most temperate of the races, in
dulge only in the lighter wines, ale
Or beer. Might not this great evil
he removed by agitating the ones
ton of admitting duty free the light
and harmless wines that have pro-
duced such happy results across the
water? Is it possible that any man
or set of men will declare that
Americans cannot be made to adopt
these drinks that do no injury to
soul or body?
AS we have declared before, train
men to be moderate 10 all things.
Do not throw around the drinking
of the people that air of violated
law that really beckons to crime.
Men are simply enlarged children :;
the forbidden is the sweet.
Even if we admit prohibition to
be desirable, the law is not the
agency by which to bring it about.
The question is question of NOR
ais, and moral agencies should deal
with it. 1t belongs to the same
realm as the question of Sunday
observance, and with this, moral
suasion alone should be concerned.
Let the pulpit and the many soci-
cites of this world deal with prohi-
bition. Do not place laws on the
statute books to govern it; the his
tory of the world teaches US that
moral reform comes with a strong
moral influence, and not from the
cold, icy letter of the law. Relig-
ion, the greatest moral agency in
the universe has been injured by
law. Our own government is foun-
ded on the idea that law should not
deal with religion. Whenever
church and state have been united,
the combination has not been hap
py. They do not coalesce they
were never intended to coalesce
and the same is true of prohibition
Its friends should zealously guard
it, and keep it from its legal grave
digger.
