Reflections OF a Bachelor

| New York Press.
Because man locks unhappy is no proof
| that he is married.
A nother's slipper has saved many boy
from jailor's handouts.
A woman's logic has more crisscrosses in
it than a patchwork quilt.
An acquaintance is friend that you are
a bit ashamed to acknowledge.
1t is not that being good isn't easy; it is
that not being bad is hard.
Men like women to be intelligent; what
they hate is to have them intellectual
Women don't worry half much about
beauty in old age ugliness in youth.
Women diet the way they read history;
they pick out the parts they like and skip
the rest.
Confession is nine points of the law.
Envy is one part wounded varity and
three parts malice.
A woman can forgive herself a great many
sins of commission if she has not the sin of
omission in not having nice wavy hair.
A man who can't appreciate the good
qualities of rich wife probably would be
suspicious of the soundness of a government
bond
The first time a man runs for an Office he
is cocksure that he is going TO be elected
ana wind up in the White House; the next
time he knows he is going to be beaten and
wind up in the poorhouse.

Pointed Paragraphs.
Chicago News.


Two cannot quarrel when will not.
Ground rents sometimes due to an
earthquake.
Many proverbs are the wi, of one and the
wisdom of none.
Success consists Of doing what you can do
and doing it we'll.
good word in behalf of others costs
you little, and is worth much.
But few good things come to the average
man. He must go after them.
Wise IS he who knows where his knowl-
edge ends and his ignorance begins.
Taking stout girl out riding in ligh.
buggy is suggestive of a spring meeting.
Great thoughts deteriorate by passing
through small minds. Even the hurricane
makes but sorry music when it attempts to
whistle through key-hole.
The Lafayette gazette., 1902-03-15

The Gazette would enjoin every
citizen of Lafayette to say a good
word for his town. Speak well
of the Industrial Institute, the
town schools, the merchants, the
banks, the municipal govern
ment, the fire department and if
you can do so without doing
violence to your conscience re-
frain from commenting on the
local papers. When speaking to
stranger do not pose as the
only pebble on the beach of wis
dom. Do not try to convince him
that you are way ahead of the
town and that your superior
qualities have not been appre-
ciated. AS a general thing you
get a great deal more credit
than you are entitled to, and the
town might have plodded along
if you had never been born. If
your fellowcitizens have not al
ways agreed with you, do not
join the knockers to get even
with the town. Cheer up and
join the procession of progress
There is more in it than in
kicking yourself into annihila-
ton. As a product of the nine
teenth century the knocker is
out of date. His usefulness died
with the ox-cart

The Harlequin is using some
very plain language anent the
recent cotton steal in New Or
leans. Leveque wants to know
why criminal prosecution has
not followed the fraudulent dis
closures. We do not know the
facts of this particular case, but
we do know that the law or the
administration of the law in this
country seems to protect the
wealthy thief But for the poor
and ignorant fellow who steals a
pig there is very little sympathy.
In this case there is seldom a
loophole to permit the escape of
the offender.

The Penitenti~ry.
Baton Rouge Advocate.

Baton Rouge Advocate.
The highly fiattering reports
that have been given of the sue
cessful operation of the peniten-
tiary department and the won
derful results of the first years
venture in the State . manage
ment told only half the tale. The
first and most important desi-
deratum in connection with this
unfortunate element of our so
ciety, is to reverse the usual
order and make the penitentiary
means of reform, instead of a
school of vice. The betterment
of the moral character of the
small army of eX-cOnvictS an
nually sent out, is of more i'm
pOrtance than any possible finan-
cial success of the operation of
the convict corps.
1t is believed that the first
years trial of the new system
will show better results in this
respect than on any other lines.
There is no denying the fact that
the health of the cOnvicts and
the sanitation of their quarters
have been improved. It is be-
yond dispute that financially the
first years operations have been
wonderfully successful. 1t is
undoubtedly true that the per-
sOnal comfort and well-being of
the individual convict will show
marked improvement. But above
and beyond all of these, we are
pleased to report that there has
been a most marked and abSO-
lutte Improvement in the morale
of the institution.
More men have striven for and
obtained a shortening of their
terms by good behavior than
ever before 1t seems the earnest
purpose of many of them to earn
this benefit. The department
and service of the entire corps
has been improved and the good
work of the board and the estim-
able gentlemen employed under
it, has bourne fruit.
When it is known that five
hundred men are released an
nually and returned to the
volume of our population, the inn
portance of making them better
citizens, instead of more hardened
Grim inals, becomes very obvious.
1t is believed by those in posi-
ton to observe and know, that the
most marked Improvement un-
der the new system now in force,
is on these lines and that much
may be expected, in future from
the system, in the way of better
ment of the moral character of
discharged convicts.

Mr.. Ktrby's OpiniOn "f ''knOce<-
ers.''
In the course of his splendid
address to the New Orleans
Progressive Union last Monday,
John H. Kirby, of Texas, gave
some very sound advice to the
business men of that city. Mr..
much to develop the lumber in
terests of the Lone Star State.
He is level-headed business
man and his diagnosis of the
trouble which has afflicted New
Orleans is equally true of many
other communities which have
failed to take advantage of their
opportunities. Mr.. Kirby paid
his respects to that class of citi-
zens who are now designated as
knockers. The knockers"
are the people who are religiously
opposed to progress. They de-
rive their greatest pleasure from
fault-fnding. They labor under
the delusiOn that their mission
on earth is to clog the wheels of
civilization. If they inadver-
tently say a good word for their
town they apologize for it in the
next breath. 1t is one of the
mysteries in the economy of
creation which the ages have
failed to solve that the ''lznOcker"
continues to be born and to ply
his trade. Speaking of this
strange species of the genus
homo Mr.. Kirby said:
Now. if I say anything that
CRATES harshly upon any mans
feelings, please remember that l
am home folks, and that [ yield
precedence not even to your own
citizens in my desire for your
city's growth. I want to pay my
respects to the knockers. -
You can hear more adverse criti
cism of this city here at home
than anywhere else. I have been
told great many times by your
business men that railroad rates
are against New Orleans. The
fault is yours if such a condition
does exist, and it can be righted
with a proper effort. Quit find
ing fault and quit making OBJ
jectiO Is. If you cannot do any
thing yourself, get out of the
road of the hopeful crowd. If
you are a pessimist, go way
back and sit down. and let the
optimist who loves his town and
his fellOw-man, who sees sun
shine instead of shadow, hap
piness instead of sorrow, midday
instead of midnight, have the
right of way. This organization,
the Progressive Union, which
means so much for the future of
this city, this State and the
South, should supply itself with
handouts and gags and use them
on the dear old citizen, who
probably means well, but talks
about natural advantages, ante
bellum traditions, and the sins
of others, while he keeps his
own money tied up in stocking
at home or idly lying in a local
bank. There are millions of dol
lars in my own city of Houston,
with Il population of 10000,
which is not earning a cent for
it's owners or doing anybody any
good, and if there are millions
there, how many millions are
there here! Invest your money
in local industries. Give en-
ployment to labor and happiness
to the population.

Lovers of liberty throughout
the civilized world were afforded
genuine satisfaction the other
day when it was announced that
the Beers had won a signal
victory over their English op-
pressors. There are even in
this boasted land of freedom
people who believe in the inalien-
able rights of man and who pray
for the ultimate triumph of the
Republican army in South
Africa. Unfortunately the gov
ernment of the United States
can find no fault with England
policy of determination because
it is itself engaged in more
murderous business. It is guilty
of greater crime because the
FilipinOs are less able than the
Beers to defend themselves and
it is immeasurably worse for a
republic to subjugate a people
than it is for monarchy to do
so. A republic is founded upon
the doctrine that governments
derive their just powers from the
consent of the governed while
monarchy believes in the su-
premacy of the sword and gun
powder and insults the Deity by
it's pretensions to divine right
the most damnable and sacre-
kgiOus doctrine that ever origin
ated in the minds of tyrants.

The sOrdid selfishness which
is behind the whole system of
protection was illustrated the
other day when the Newspaper
Publishers Association asked
for the repeal of the duty on
wood pulp. This duty raises the
price of paper and as cOnse-
quence the publishers are made
to pay annually large sums into
the Golfers of the manufacturers.
The publishers realized that they
were paying the freight like
Jones was won't to do and they
suddenly ceased to see the
hidden beauties of the protective
tariff as far AS it affected the
price of wood pulp. OF course
they based their complaints
upon the great wrong the wood
pulp tariff is doing to the dear
consumers-the large army of
readers. But it is safe to say that
these Selfsame publishers will
continue to advocate a high duty
on everything, except wood pulp.
Because the tax on wood pulp
affects their own pockets it is
iniQuitouS. but the tariff on other
imports is highly commendable
because the burden happens to
be borne by other classes. 1t
will be easy for the publishers to
give all sorts of arguments why
free trade in this particular in
stance is the right thing, and
abominable when it seeks to re-
lieve the consumers of the Fed
eral taxes which are collected
largely to enrich the manufac-
turers at the expense Of the
masses. This action of the pub
fishers Association merely shows
that protection is fine thing for
the fellow who is protected but
pretty rough on the fellow who
fOOts the bill-and some one
must of necessity foot the bill.
If every one received an equal
share of the booty there would
be no protection at all.
We are reminded of suppose
tiOus case told some years ago
by that sound political economist
who wrote in the ST. Louis
Courier Journal under the non
de plume of ''Savoyard. " Two
brothers with equal advantages
in life and no fixed IDEAS about
politics left home in search of
fortune. One settled in Arkan
sas, engaged in the cOtton-grow-
ing business and became an un-
compromising free-trader. The
other located in Ala bama, inter-
ested himself in mining and soon
developed into a rank protec-
ZIONIST. 1t is but reasonable to
suppose that each was Influenced
by his personal interests.
1t will be rememberedt that the
ownership of the animal cut a
big figure in the case of the
farmer whose OK was gOred, and
it is the same thing in this tariff
business

The Lake Charles American
believes that the fears Of Gov.
Dockery that Batson would be
lynched were founded upon the
sensational reports in the news
papers The American is right.
It was perfectly natural for Gov
Dockery to think that Batson
would be dealt with summariIy
if taken to Calcasieu, and he
should not be blamed for taking
the necessary precautions to
protect the life of the prisoner
Officers should be commended,
not censured, for doing their
duty. No matter how fiendish
the crime, the criminal should
be punished by due process of
law. Human justice is too i'm
perfect at best to place the life
of an accused at the mercy of
angry and unreasoning mobs.
