You cannot blame this lonely one

As thus he watched and dreamed Of home

Swiftly the deadly message came

in here by the politician, at preyious cleo
tlons, Under the new law a planter can
not take a w~agon-load Of hands to the
polls and make them vote as he votes.
The voter has to stop depending entirely
on the thinking apparatus of the man he
owes, or the man he works for, and has to
rely more on his own thinking appara-
tus.
The object ofthe election law Is to give
to every man entitled to suffrage the pri-
vilege of voting as his judgment dictates.
The new election law fills the bill we
think. Some small changes may be
needed to make the law clearer on
some points; but as a whole the new
method is superior i'll every respects
to the old method Of voting and insures
in the future fair elections.

that characterized his home life.
As an editor he claimed a place amone
tho foremost journalists Of Louisiana.
Following the best lights before him at
al times denouncing wrong and champ
ioning what he believed to be the side Of
right injustice, Joe Reed soon engrafted
himself into the good will Of the news
paper fraternity and succeeded in making
his paper, the Lake Charles Press, a
power in Southwestern Louisiana.
Until recently the Press was a Republic
a organ; but when the Republican
party strayed away from what Joe Reed
considered the cause of right, and al
lowed itselfto be dominated by the money
power, he refused to follow it any further
and supported the silver cause with an
earnestness that convinced all of his sin
cerety, as was demonstrated on election
day when Calcasieu, a parish that went
Republican in the April election BY a
large majority, rolled up a majority last
month Of over 2OO0 for Bryan and Brous-
sard.

Joseph F. Reed, the founder of the Lake
Charles Press, is dead. "Death loves a
shining mark /" and the dart that stills
forever found it's way. last week, to one
Of the shining marks Of Louisiana jour
naIism.
Mans undying record, that he leaves
behind him when the hour of dissolution
comes, is not measured by years. Ifsuch
we're true Joe Reefs career has been an
incomplete one, for he died comparative
" a young man-in the summer of his
terrestrial existence. But if the fitting
life of mortal is guaged by what he accom-
pliAhes, by his good work and noble deeds,
then has Joe Reeds been complete in
both abstract and detail.
If life is worth the living, it must be so
because eachI human atom has an ever
lasting part to perform in the great
atomical sea Of the universe. The trend
ofearthly aims is in an upward search
for a higher and better state of manhood
and w~omanhOod. It is to elevate the
creature, and make him as nearly like
the creator al possible. Each generation
is step forward and a step higher in the
direction of the desired goal; and each
individual is, or ought TO be, a force par
ticle that assists in propelling the whols

Houma if such an arrangement could
be made. 1t gives a town II good
