Tribute to the Press

State Auditor, Hon. W. S. Frazee,
in his address before the Annual
Convention of Louisiana State
Homestead Leagues, euloglzes the
press IN the following expression:
"As to the press, l need not
commend the necessity of Its aid to
an ASSOCIATION substantially the pro-
duct of modern thoughts and
methods. The newspaper is now
the leading factor in all enterprises,
and has become habit of our peo-
pie; it lives in the present and re-
calls the past only for the benefit
of the future. 1t pulsates with
every human feeling and its influ-
ence crosses the threshold of every
home. 1t is alive to the necessities
of all, keen in the antlcipat,ons of
life and halts at no expense that
will make it the forerunner Of
thought and action. 1t circuits the
earth each day for information and
is daily educator at the firesides
of orr people. In securing it's aid,
you have the services of a thousand
resourceful advocates and without
whose aid you fall-a laggard in
the race

Stole $1,1OO.

Some time last Saturday night
thief entered the room of Mrs.
Mary Mclaughlin, at $50 St. Mary
street, New Orleans, and stole
81, 100.
Mrs. Mclaughlin, who claims to
be domestic OF e. Harrison
Parker, says she went to bed at 9
O'Clock, and was not disturbed at
all by the thief who stole her nine
years. savings. The man climbed
to the second story gallery and
forced open the blinds of Mrs. Nc
Laughlin's window. The 81, 100
were III an armoir, and as the key
was Ill the door, there was no
trouble in getting the money.
If Mrs. Mclaughlin had come
over on the Wednesday excursion,
and deposited her money in the
Bank of Covington, she would not
now have OCCASION to mourn the
loss Of her hard-earned savings.
This should serve as a warning to
others.
