A Sign OF Mental Activity.

there to cause this popularity, II

ished how many people you will
meet on the street who are thinking
aloud. The talking is done uncon-
sciously. Often the people addict
ed to the habit, if you called their
attention to it, would aver that they
never were guilty of such a thing.
Some of the brightest men | have
ever known 90 their thinking aloud
without knowing itand, on the other
hand, some of the weakest individu-
ais, mentally, whom I have me in
my practice keep up a continuous

1t was a regular blizzard Of Repub-
lican votes that stuck the National
Democracy last Tuesday and buried
it ont OF sight. New York, Ohio,
and Illinois went Republican by
almost unprecedented majorilies OF
100000 to $4,000. Congress will
have a Republican majority of 1913,
Congressman Wilson, Bland, Hatch,
johnson, and the sockless Simpson
were caught in the deadsall and will
remaiu at home. The Populists have
lost Kansas and Colorado. Ne
braska was carried by the Demo-
cratic-PopuIist candidate. iouisi-
ana and most Of the Southern States
viii! send a solid Democratic delega~
ton to congress.
While every we'll informed person
naturally expected large Republican
gains at this election, We doubt if
any man was prepared for such an
upheayal. The causes leading to
this violent shaking up are the pre-
vailing hard times. the panic Of last
year and the imbecile manner in
which the party's representative in
Congress handled the silver question
and the tariff legislation; they
wrangled and squabbled over it for
months, and the business interests of
the country going to the dogs all the
while. The people accepted this &C.
ton as evidence of the party's ina.
bility to manage the government or
redeem its pledges. The rebnke,
amounting to condign punishment
was not wholly just, but it may prove
salutary in bringing about harmony
and a well defined course of action,
which will enable the party to
achieve success 10 the Presidential
election.

the whole American people will

Oae Of our mercantile firms met
with an experience 10 shipping rice
recently that hasn't tended to i'm
prove their opinion Of the rice men
of New Orleans. In a lot of rice
shipped by Stagg Bros. was a small
lot Of Japan. When the consign.
ment was placed on the market the
best bid that was then made was
5 100 per bag for the Japan. Know
ing that the rice was of good quality
Mr.. Stage declined the offer and
submitted a sample to Mr.. Russell,
who was here at the time buying rice
for the Lake Char les rice mill,
Mr.. Russell Immediately offered
$500 per barrel for the rice deliv-
cred at Crowley. 1t il needless to
state that the rice was ordered
reshlped from New Orleans and that
in due course of time it was reload
ed at this point in a car consigned
to the Lake Charles mill. The
action of the New Orleans millers in
this Instance cause one to wonder
upon what principle they are trying
to do business when they will offer
to pay bat one dollar for rice that
another mill is glad to get at $500
The more favorable bid Of the L. G.
mills representative cannot be
blamed to ignorance as the company
from n end to the other is compos
ed of gentlemen thoroughly familiar
with all phases of the rice Industry.
