St. Tammany farmer., 1901-07-27

Dy the presence OF crOWQ, breaks out
in acts Of violence and disorder. Men
who have hitherto been peaceable, in
dustrious wage-workers have been
known to join in the attack upon these
strike-breakers.
Whether with or without reason, it is
q fact that corporations, especially
holding public franchises, are by no
means popular in American cities.
They are denounced, not only by labor
organizations, and socialists, but by
newspapers, by ministers in the pull
pit and judges on the bench. It is the
common belief that they pay too little
wages, and keep their fares high to pay
dividends on watered stock. This dis
like, usually smoldering, is famed into
flame by the excitement of strike.
And when the corporation manager OF
president unwisely speaks defiant,y of
the strikers and the public, which he
generally does, he alienates public sem
timent and makes it tolerant of vandal-
ism.
The hoodlums and toughs in our cities
read the newspapers. They are ruled

with Him to glory, saying: "This day
shalt thou be with Me in Paradise!"
There is another evil that we ought
to abhor, while we try to help the
victim, and that is infidelity. 1t
snatches the life preserver from the
man afoat and affords not so much
as spar or plank as substitute. It
would extinguish the only light that
has ever been kindled for the troubled
and the lost. Let the spirit Of inf
deity take hold Of neighborhood.
and in that town the marriage rela-
ton is a farce and good morals give
place to all styles of immorals. Let it
take possession of this earth. and
there will be no virtue left in all the
worlds circumference. All the sins
rebuked in the Ten Commandments
would be dominant. The torch that
shall kindle the confagration Of the
earth in its last catastrophe will not
do as much damage as would infdel-
ity and agnosticism, if they got the
chance. Be angry with such theories
of unbelief and hatred OF God. Never
laugh at the witticisms of those who
would belittle the Bible with their
jocularity. Quote to them the four
lines of Whittier:
And weary seekers Of the best
We come back laden with our quest
To find that all the sages said

flush in your cheek and a frown on
your brow for bastard that would

supreme court has rendered decision n
the case Of Emil ]. Pepke versus the
United States. This is the ease knoxn a.

the e6hstitutionality OF the imposition
OF customs duties upon merchandise

The opinion was adverse to the claims

Of the work ahead.
The veteran senator from Iowa, Senator
Allison, was one of the first to reach the
senate and resume his work as chairman
of the committee ON appropriations.
Senator Jones OF Arkansas, the demo-

early arrival, and had a circle of his dem

Speaker Henderson did not reach the |
house wing until shortly before the ses-

room of the speaker comforting with \
members during the forrnalities preceding
his reelection as speaker.
"A profusion OF floral offerings, quite
unusual in quantity, variety and beauty,
transformed the senate chamber into a
veritable flower show. Almost every
member of the body was the recipient
OF one or more of these evidences of the
regard OF his friends and the atmosphere
of the chamber was heavy with the odor

OF General Passenger and Ticket
Agents adjourned finally this after

men of the several traffic associations.
This committee already has the power
TO prosecute such frauds, but it will
now have whatever power and author
1ty the passenger agents association
can confer upon it to assist it in the
vigorous performance of it's duty.
