that the majority are not, disposed
to crow over their fallen adversa-
~. 1t was a moral fight, bust
ness fight and now that it is over
the victOrs are ready to shake
hands and join together with every
body in luilding UP our glorious
city.
We believe firmly that yester-
day was the most glorious day in
the history of Monroe and that her
future is brighter than ever. 1t
seems like II dream that Monroe
should be freed from the presence
of bar-rOoms. We cannot tell
what did it. Some say that the
building of the tabernacle did it.
Some say that the ladies' did it.
Some say that Mayor Ably did 10
when he signed Mr.. CARROTS petit
ton. Some say that Sam Jones,
Sid Williams and Luther Benson
did it.
Some say that the crusade
against Hafienback and Timber
lake started the bail.
All these and other forces helped
to do the work. But we believe
that it is largely the result of IT,
dial wave that is rolling over this
country against the whisky evil
Forty elections were held in Texas
this fall and prohibition won III
every election.
1t is winning all over this great
land and we believe that it will
continue to win and become more
and more a factor in public con
tests mill some solution is found
for the whisky evil either in the
way of perfect regulation, like the
dispensary law in South Carolina
or in absolute prohibition. The
women are up in arms and the
whisky men must surrender. They
have no arguments. They have
no orators. They cannot maintain
their cause on any other plea than
self-interest. Consequently they
go down i'll every organized fight
Ouachita has taken her place in
the van of the march of progress
Let us all join in pushing her ban
ner still further to the front.

One of our prominent cotton
planters remarked the other day
that instead of planting crop of
cotton next year and going to the
expense and risk necessary to
cultivate and gather it, he con-
templated going on the market and
buying about as much cotton as
he would be likely to make and
saving it until the market opened
next year. If it costs more to
make crop of cotton than can be
realized for 1t after it is made, and
our best farmers assert that il
does, there is more philosophy
than poetry in our friends sug-
gestion. Instead ofpaying out for
labor more than cotton can be
bought for at present, besides toll
ing and struggling through a
whole year alternating between
hope and fear, why not buy a crop
of cotton and then sit down and
wait for the price to go up!
There would be money in the
scheme if the farmers had the cap
ital to engage in it generally

Wards Z and s will give over 100
majority for prohibition.
The election was quiet and or
derby and perfectly fair. 1t o is
proper to state that SO votes cast
on certificates issued on the day of
election were objected to by the
anti-prohibition commissioners at
the courthouse box and said COM
missioners refused to sign the re.
turns. This will not affect the re-
suit. If the 53 votes were thrown
out the result would be the same.
1t is significant that Ward 6,
where they tried prohibition for
three years and know what it is,
voted solidly to continue it. 1t is
also significant that the city OF
Monroe gave over 200 majority fol
prohibition. This shows conclu.
sively that the people in this town
are tired of bar-rOOms. We are
glad that the majority is so decis.
i've. 1t shows that the law will be
enforced. 1t also shows that it il
useless for the whisky men tt
kick. They must submit to thu
will ofthe majority and turn theil
faces in a new direction. They
can find plenty of new employ
ment for their capital aud labor
The people will lend them a help
lag li:aid and assist them to rak'
a new start. We are glad to SET

Rev. Harry 6. yroOman.

The lecture at the courthouse
Wednesday night, by that distin-
guished scholar, writer and speak
er whose name graceS this article,
was an intellectual treat to the
citizens of Natchitoches, and
though they lear good lectures on
interesting topics once or twice a
week. they showed their apprecia-
ton of this speaker, as well as his
subject, by a fine attendance Of
both ladies and gentlemen, aud
the interest and enthusiasm with
which they received the lecture.
The large courtroom was well
nigh filed, and at O'Clock sharp.
VI. II. Carver Esq, in Il neat, forci-
ble and elegant preamble intrOduc-
ed the speaker. After some pleas
ant remarks of greeting and pre-.
liminary the Professor announced
his subject, ''The evolution of the
Social Problem" and with elegant
dictiOn and forcible illustration he
discussed his subject and held his
audience in rapt attention for two
hours. Beside the new ideas adj
vanced, he ably defended the Hen
ny George theory of land tax, and
the Populist plank of government
ownership or railroads, but his
plans were broad enough and mild
enough to suit the most cOnServa-
tive.
We believe that this lecture will
do for many what it has done for
us-start new lines of thought,
and develop and broaden IDEAS al
ready entertained.
The religious aspect of the lee
ture was beautiful as it was prac-
tical, and is in striking contrast
with the dreamy, get-to-heaven
ideals of some of our churches and
preachers. We believe this emf
nent teacher (preacher) is doing
great work for the cause of human
ity, which is true christianity.
The Union for Practical Prog
ress, of Boston, Mass, is sending
out such men as Prof. Vrooman,
and they in turn are organizing
branches of this Union for the
spreading of this great education
al work. A branch was es-
tablished in Shreveport, and an
other in RObeline, and we be-
lieve strong Union could be
organized here as number OF
pied ges for All annual contribution
of Que dollar to the propaganda
fund of this society was taken.
The Professor goes from here to
Alexandria then to New Orleans
and from there to birmingham
Ala. We wish him much success
wherever he may 60, and we hope
that somelady or gentleman will
take up the good work here and
push The organization of q Union
for Practical Progress, which will
become one of the great educa-
tional factors of our already cul-
tured city.

Women Write the Sunday School Books.
The New York Evangelist announces
the result of the vote recently taken
among the Presbyterian Sunday schools
of the country to determine the best
100 books for q Sunday school library. =
AS might have been expected, works of
fiction are most popular, but the charac-
ter of the fiction is notably high, both
as regards literary merit and moral tone
Only Of the 100 volumes chosen were
written by men. The authors of IS per
cent Of the books most in request for
Presbyterian Sunday school libraries in
this country are women.
