In Great Britain and in the United
States in every generation there are
tens of thousands of persons who are
fully developed criminals and incar-
cerated. | say in every generation.
Then | suppose there are tens of thou
sands of persons not found out In their
criminality. In addition to these there
are tens of thousands of persons who,
not positively becoming criminals,
nevertheless have a criminal tendency.
Any one of all those thousands. by the
grace of God may become Christian,
and resist the ancestral influence, and
open a new chapter of behavior; but
the vast majority of them will not,
and IL becomes all men, professional,
unprofessional, ministers of religion,
judges of courts, philanthropists and
Christian workers, to recognize the
fact that there are these Allan tic and
Pacific surges of hereditary evil rolling
on through the centuries. | say, of
course, n man can resist this tendency,
just as in the ancestral line mem
toned in the first chapter of Matthew.
You see in the same line in which
there was wicked Rehoboam and a
desperate Manassas, there afterward
came a pious Josiah and a glorious
Christ. But, my friends, you must
recognize the fact that these influences
go on from generation to generation.
! am glad to know, however, that a
river which has produced nothing but
miasma for 100 miles, may after u
while, turn the wheels of factories and
help support industrious and virtuous
populations; and there are family
lines which were poisoned that are a
benediction now. At the last day 1t
will be found out that there are men
who have gone clear over into all
forms of iniquity and plunged into ut

To the Democratic Voters of the
Third Railway Commission District.

The time for the election of Rail-
way Commissioners for the State of
Louisiana is near at hand. The re-
striction on travel by reason of quar-
antine regulations has prevented a
personal canvass by our nominee and
his. friends, and for this reason, as
the temporary chairman of the Exec
uti7e Committee for the Third Rail
way Commission District, I deem it
not a,niss by this means to call atten-
ton OF the Democrats of the District
to bear in mind the day of election
and the Importance of every Democrat
turning out to vote and work for the
nominee of our party, Mr.. w. L.
Foster. After a strenuous, though
generous contest in the late Monroe
nominating convention, he was elect
ed by a very fattering majority as the
candidate OF the Democratic party
for Railway Commissioner. He was
not selected in the interest of any
particular locality Or class, but for the
reason that the Convention became
satisfied that he possessed those quail
ifcations that fit him to faithfully,
fearlessly and impartially administer
the affairs Of the Office for which he
was nominated.
He is opposed by Mr.. Calhoun,
nominee of the Populists and Repub-
licans, and by Mr.. Martson, who ig-
nores the action of the Democratic
convention, and persists in his candi-
dacy as an independent" The Rail-
way Commission was ordained by the
late Constitutional Convention, COM
posed of Democrats, with two excep-
tons, one Populist and one Republi-
can, both of whom voted against the
ordinance establishing the Commits
sion. Every vote cast for the ordi-
nance was Democrat vote. See to
it, then, fellow Democrats, that none
other than a Democrat, loyal to the
party and submissive to it's legitimate
action, is.permitted to put this pro.
vision of q Democratic convention
into execution. Rally then to the
polls on November 8 and vote and
work for the nominee of your party,
