NO PUZZLE HERE.

Between a Statesman and q Demagogue.

Between a Statesman and Demagogue.
1.-THE course of John L. McLaurin, u
says the Horny Herald, "Is a great
puzzle to everybody except John L.
McLaurin." With all due respect to
the news purveyor Of the independent
republic, McLaurin's course is no puz-
zle to anybody with an ordinary
amount of brains. His political career
has been remarkably straightforward
and conspicuous for his consistent in
dependence of thought. There has
been no doubling back, twisting or
turning. He has never feared to do
his duty as he saw it, regardless of
consequence upon his personal politi'
cal fortunes. He is an original think
er, with the courage of his convictions.
This fact has been conspicuously DEM
onstrated many times during his pol
itical life. He made his advent in pol
itics as a Reformer, not so much to
correct evils of government as to rem
edy abuses of party management. AS
he conceived it, the Democracy would
be better off if unshackled thought
should become the attitude Of the
masses and those who obtained office
should secure it because their views
suited the voters and not because they
stood in with county or state political
rings and cliques. This position he
made clear in his first important
speech in congress, his eulogy Of his
predecessor from the Sixth district,
General Stackhouse. That speech gave
great offense to those who had been
displaced from party power and pub
lie office by the Reform movement.
There was no necessity for him to have
made the speech. He could have con-
fined his observations to the usual per-
functory remarks popular in congress
when that body pays tributes of res
pect to deceased members. But Nc
Laurin was not a perfunctory sort Of
man. He did his own thinking in an
original manner and was not ashamed
or afraid to speak his thoughts.
AS we stated, McLaurin became
Reformer, not so much to correct gov
ernmental abuses as to remedy evils
of party management. He was one of
the ablest of the Reformers, witty
eloquent and persuasive speaker. He

Under no circumstances must the

THE REAL BEAUTY RECIPE.

Many recipes are given for beauty
but the best and surest is a quiet heart,
freedom from worry and faithful per-
Torrance OF duty together with health
ful exercise and cheerful way. The
mind IS mirrored In the face, and the
shape OF the face is changed by the ex-
preston and the carriage Of the body
by the feelings. one can use recipes
for brown, freckled skin, but for a
face wrinkled before its time there Is
no cure. The mind must be contented,
after all, II one desires beauty. Avoid
subjects for worry, rest absolutely
mind and body and Il will help the APP
pearance wonderfully Let the soul
shine through the face, and 1t viii

holder" and when one knows a person
