the weak it is very apparent tnat II
is for the strong and powerful.
The government has given great
rights to the strong instead Of pro-
tectins the weak. The chief bust
ness of our ma tional lawmakers is
that of transferring the property OF
many to the few: Government
should be a cooperation of inlivi-
duals far common purpose, so tar
as this idea prevails and is taught
so for we may expect good citizens.
St Bernard Voice: Corporations
which make it a practice to defy
the law and refuses to contribute
their part in the maintenance OF
government, are not desirable adj
juncts in any community. They
only pay their taxes when every
means to avoid it is exhausted and
the highest court has been appealed
to in vain. They are virtually OF
no benefit to the community IN
which they are located, but if any
thing, are source of annoyance
and trouble to those who have
charge of the enforcement OF the
laws, and when they leave or go
out of existence there are no mani
festations of regret.
Mansfield Journal: There never
was better time in the history or
Louisiana for statesmen and
patriot to rise to eminenCe than has
been afforded the members of the
Constitutional Convention. Under
like conditions to those surround
ing the delegates Senator George,
of Mississippi, and Tillman, OF
South Carolina, made themselves
famous and rendered their States
great service. At the beginning OF
the session the public eye rested on
several gentlemen, who, it was
thought, would { 0 the State valuable
service and them selves great credit,
as leaders, in the framing Of a new
constitution, but they have not met
the expectations of their admirers.
St. Landry Clarion: Tom ker-
nan can't stand fire. Tuesday,
during a meeting of the suffrage
committee Of the constitutional con-
vention, when Mr.. Dubuisson
opened fire on the South Carolina
plan Boatner, Herman & Co., the
latter gentleman appealed to the
chair to make Mr.. Dubuisson "cea5e
his arraignment Of the delegates
But Mr.. Herman can console him
self with the thought that he is not
the first one that the bright young
Saint Lanurian has made squir.n ia
debate.
St. Landry Clarion: The Times
Democrats country edi tors was
srhe pick of the flock" They had
been chronological before that
great organ of honesty wired to
them.
Iberville South: The leaders of
the poll tax advocates are brilliant
set. They won and then played

ton for victors. When there is
contest between city brains and
country sssmartness," the latter in
va.iably sinks to the bottom. The
Baton Rouge Advocate has evident
ly noted some Of the briallant man
euvers OF the poll tax people. 1t
says: s:The consolidation of in
terests on the part of the poll tax
advocates and the city bosses is
amusing to US, inasmuch as under
its terms the bosses get all they
asked for-which is a virtual remis-
sion Of the poll tax-while If the
poll tax people get a single thing
they asked for we have fai ed as yet
to observe it. In other words they
have sacrificed the principle for
which thew we're conteudinS."

Manila, Sept. Twenty leading
public men, representing all factions
OF the Filippinoes, have held con

of the islands. Eighteen of the
conferees alphabetically declared in

It is reported that General Agui
naldo is calling in Manila all natives
capable of bearing arms. The in
surgent leader is anxious to

awhile, and then said, You seem to
know what you are about. If you
can do this, all right. 1t will relieve
me more than L can tell"
John did the work so Satisfactorily
that at the next importation the bill
was handed to him as a matter Of
course.
One day, month later, he was
called into the Office and interv ewed
by both the active members Of the
firm. The senior member said: "In

qualities, but we have little doubt

the rest of the year We will pay you
ten dollars q week. At the end of
the year we will consider the matter
again"
The result was that after John
had been there five years he received
eighteen hundred dollars year, had
been sent to Francs and Germany.
and Mr. Williams said to a friead,
John Grant will probably become a
member of the firm by the time he
is thirty years of age. He saw the
opportunity and fitted himself for it
at some sacrifice, but it paid. 1t

How John Won Success.

-
eighteen years old, fairly good look
ing, having an English high school
education, a quick perception of
business methods and one years
experience in large business estab
lishment, had attained to the wages
of four dollars week, and had no
prospect of advance, 30 far as he
could see.
The situation was freely discussed
at home. His father was willing
that John should make change if
he was convinced that he could do
better, so after reading advertise
ments, looking about the city for
several days and talking with friende,
he found an opening in large retail
and Wholesale hardware store. The
salary would be but two dollars
wsek for the first six months.
Mr. Williams, the junior member
OF the firm said to him: Il cannet
promise you anything definite. The
business 10 good one to learn. You
can make yourself useful man to
US by becoming thoroughly &C
quaInted with all the details of the
business, and as fast as you prove
yourself capable We will recognize
your services in some way. We have
already several bright young men
who have learned the business, and
their advancement would naturally
come first II you wish to come
under these conditions, the place is
open to you"
John accepted the, position be
cause it offered him some chance of
advancement, and as the complicated |
details of the business became more |
and more familiar, he felt that he |
was making progress. Yet dozen |
others in the business were just as
bright and apparently had made the
best use of their opportunities. Still
he kept looking for some chance to
do more.
By watching closely for several
weeks every detail, he noticed that
large lots of goods were constantly
coming from abroad, and that Mr..
Williams always attended to the
checking of the bills and marking
the goods This seemed to him
strange for Mr. Williams was very
busy man, and had enough to do
without looking after such minor
matters. John soon found, however,
much to his dismsy, that these bills
were made out in French or in
German, and that no one in the
store but Mr.. Williams could de-
cipher them.
John WAS not afraid of even two
such formidable foes as French and
German. He purchased text books
and commenced to study at once.
By constant application, he was able
at the end of the year to make out
bill of goods in either of the Ian
guages. He obtained access TO the
old bills, and made special study
of them. All this time he was giving
his very best work in the store, and
often helped Mr.. Williams in ar
ranging the foreign goods.
One day a larger assortment than
usual came III, much to the dismay
of Mr.. Williams, who exclaimed, Il :
don't see how l can spend the time
TO mark these goods"
Let me do it," quietly replied
John.
"You?"
Yes, sir; I think I can do it '
correctly"
''But these bills are in French"
