Thursday, just in time for our fair, and

Hon. Thos. S. Adams, Secretary
of State, is prominently mentioned
as a candidate for Congress in the
sixth district. There is not a public
man in Louisiana for whom The
Gazette entertains higher regard
than the present secretary of State,
and should the voters of the Sixth
district elect him as their -reprcsen-
tative at Washington, they will have
a Congressman who is sincere
friend of the masses, and one who
has the ability and honesty to make
a good representative.

B. o. Flowers paper on s'Early Environ
ment in Home LIFE in the September 1re,zo
is plea for larger measure of common
sense and justice being exercised toward
young folks growing into maturity Ivy
parents and guardians in regard to the
proper functions of their bodies, and the
relations of the sexes. 1t also shows the
destiny-sllap ping force of the moral ideas in
the atmosphere in a child's early years, and
loving care and Intelligent sympathetic home
surroundings and education can overcome or
mitigate even bad hereditary tendencies.
Beauty and truth, high ideals and example
and candor about all those physical facts of
life so freighted with moral perils is Mr..
Flowers ideal. of education for children.
He believes parents do not feel their respon-
sibilities enough; they think the whole of
education is school books and the Sunday
school. The greatest influences of all are in
the daily lives and thoughts of the parents.

4 Few Par.4eraphs.

A Few Paragraphs.
For The Lafayette Gazette.
When great national issues are
presented for solution by the popu-
lar vote, It is certainly unfortunate
for any one to embrace the worst
side, but it is egotism 70 embrace no
side, for patriotism and neutrality
are antagonistic and incompatible
sentiments.
Taxes ought not to be levied, IN
any shape whatever, beyond what
is needed to defray the expenses of
an economical administration of
government and to place the coun-
try in state of defense that will
command the respect of foreign
nations.
It is better and safer to leave
their money with the people than
to take it and hoard in the treasury,
for it is always time to get it when
it is needed for the public good.
1t is preferable to have a rich
people and a poor government,
than to have a rich government,
and poor people.
Thomas H. Benton said that
protection by the government of the
Unite States, made the North rich
and the South poor, and this is true,
because protective legislation can
not make one class of people rich,
without, at the same time, make
another class poorer in proportion;
because the government has no
money to give except what it gets
from the mass of taxpayers.
The essential characteristic of a
free man is that independence which
results from a reliance upon his own
resources and labor, and his indie
pendence weakens as he suffers him
self to depend on another to supply
his wants; likewise with free peo-
pie, whenever they seek and crave
the patronage or protection of
Government to enrich themselves,
they lose in proportion that charac-
teristic independence, which distin-
gu1shes a citizen from the subject.
When priests and preachers, in
this land of unlimited liberty
of conscience, forsake their
calling to go into politics, they gen
orally turn ignorant statesmen and
broilers of the peace of the country,
by sapping with the internal doctrine
of intolerance, that fraternal feel
ing, whichaccording to philo sophy as
we'll as christianity, is the corner
stone of human felicity.

A perfect town, says an. level ex-
change, is that in which you see
the farmers patronize the home
merchants, the merchants advertise
in the local newspapers, the laborers
spend the money they earn with
their own tradesmen, and all ami
mated by spirit that they will
purchase at home. The spirit of
reciprocity between business men
and laborers, farmers and manu-
facturers, results every time in
making the town a satisfactory one
to do business in.
The Louisiana congressman will
be elected next November under the
