islature.
Every man, woman and intelligent
child interested in North Louisiana
should read the Times. The expense
incurred in establishing special Baton
Rouge service during the Legislative
term will be great and it will mark a
distinct departure in journalism in this
section of the State. Heretofore North
Louisiana readers have been compelled
to depend for their legislative news on
South Louisiana papers, which having
no particular interest in North Louisiana
affairs have not given them very close
attention. The Shreveport Times will
devote several columns daily to the news
of North Louisiana. One little item in
which you are interested may eompen-
safe for the cost of your subscription.
The Shreveport Times in addition to
this special feature contains the full
Associated Press service, all the market
reports, the local news of Shreveport,
news from the various North Louisians
towns and special Sunday features, all
of which make it one of the leading
dailies of the South. Subscribe for i,

appointed its agent in your locality.

Everybody welcomed a much
needed rain Saturday.
An alarm of fire was sounded
from the residence of G. P. Win

Neighbors responded promptly,
but the weather being very dry,
the we'll cover caught also and
burned the rope, cutting off all

everything was lost, including

from a defective flue.
We are shocked to learn of the
horrible fate of the little three
year old daughter of Mr.. Jud
Cochran, of Bradley, Ark. 1t
seems that the little girl, in her
childish play, had wandered to
the ever dangerous railway track.
Unconscious of the danger of the
approaching train, she was crush
ed to death by the iron monster.
The remains were gathered up
with loving hands and laid away
at the family cemetery. We ex-
tend our sympathy to the grief
stricken hearts that mourn, but
let not your lives be filled with
vain regrets, but remember that

The government is trying to do
too much. It has taken on func-
tons that belong exclusively to
private enterprise and has made
many useless offices at great ex-
pense. The prevailing civil SER
vice system is one of the most
glazing frauds that efflicted the
country. If the civil service re-
formers would devote themselves
as assiduously to wedding out the
barnacles and superanuates in
the public offices as they do to the
promoting of a class system they
might be of some use to the coun-
try.

1t is so easy to see the evil of
the world and to raise cry about
it. But the world has not been
made by those who thought it only
bad. 1t is they who saw the good
ness in it, and loved it and hoped
for it who have been, since Christ's
day, its true regenerators. The
saying, "tell me whatyou think of
other people, and will tell you
what ought to think of you," is
only way of saying thata mans
view of the world is necessarily
limited by his own character.
Take a man who is suspi-
cious, who always suspects others
of meaning or doing deceitful
things, and you may be pretty
sure there is cloud upon his own
life. Or hear a man constantly
crying out against the ingratitude
of the world, and it is more than
likely that he has not done much
to be grateful for. tbs not usually
the best people in the world who
are loudest or cruelest in their in
dignation against sinners; it is apt
to be those who secretly are sim
ming themselves. You remember
David and Nathan. David flashed
forth fiery words against the
scoundrel who had taken the poor
mans lamb, little dreaming how
close the point of the parable was
to himself. "And Nathan. said,
"Thou art the man." But as il
is the penalty of sin to suspect sir
in others, 80 it is the reward Of
goodness to know that others, too,
are good.-Memphis News.

The Chicago Chronicle does not
mince words in speaking of the
fifteenth amendment to the Con-

Among other things it says:
"There was no call for the fif-

spring from any intelligent de-
mand of the people. It grew out
of a spirit of vengence. 1t was ad-
vocated for the purpose of pun

of perpeuating the rule of the

part of the Constitution by fraud

that they were necessary to secure
results of the war. The war for
the Union was not fought to Sc.

of the world may be searched in

If the Republicans as a party

relief to the people why does not
the Republican Congress pass a
bill removing the duty from for
eign meats? This would lower
the price of meats to consumers
in a single day. But the Repub-
lican Congress declines to inter-
fere with the enormous profits of
the meat trust and declines utterly
to take off the tariff on foreign
meats. 1t thus protects its friend,

expect the trust to raise it a big
