Good Health

and pure blood are inseparable. If
your blood is bad, your health must suf-
fer. Poor blood allows the body to lose
vitality just as a poor fire under the
boiler allows the steam to run down.
From poor blood to impure blood is but
a step, and impure blood is mother to
large percentage of human ills. Or.
Harter's Iron Tonic is an antidote for
both poor and impure blood, for it is
both a builder and purifier "a food
and a medicine. 1t is the best combi-
nation of the kind known to medical
science, and it's success for nearly half
a century has led to iR endorsement by
thousands of medicN men who have
been unable to find 4 substitute.

District Court.

Some may call last Saturday
mornings scene in the Parish
Court House funny, aud some may
call it sad.
About seventy of our saloon
men were arrained for violating
the Sunday Law, for operating
slot machines and for conducting
"crap" games. All pleaded guilty
and were promptly fined by Judge
Foster. In addition to the fines
imposed, the court delivered lee,
lures on morality to some of the
offenders. Among the crowd,
there were men of three classes,
namely, respectable looking white
men, moderately respectable look
ing whites, and negroes.
The first class Of men, all wore
expressions of assumed dignity
and definance; the second class,
mostly ignorant and unscrupulous,
looked like school Boys up before
tie master for the hundredth time;
and the third class seemed little
at ease, probably thinking the
company little too good for
them.
1t is indeed sad and unfortune
to see men of such sterling worth
as some as our saloon men come
under the band of the law with
rascals and men of disrepute
But the law is unmerciful; it does
not discriminate. All must suffer
alike who violate it mandates.
| We know that the Sunday Law
is unpopular in this section OF
Louisiana 1t is not so in all por-
tions of the State-but it must
either.be erased from the statuet
books of Louisiana or it must be
enforced. Let every sane mai
who makes any pretention to full
filling his duties as an American
citizen ask himself what impress
sions are made on his growing
children by the open violation Of
any law of the land. With sucl
conditions surrounding us are We

State that laws are made at tht

than that we want to train on

The State Legislature.

That BODY or pOIltlclans now
congregated at Baton Rouge,
styled the State Legislature of
Louisiana, claims to be Democratic
in its methods, and to be represen-
tatives of the wishes and desires
of the people of the State. III
Democracy mean the most ex-
travagant state government in the
United States, and tendency to
increase the costs of state govern
ment; and if the wishes of the
people be that the horde of politi-
clans now lobbying in and around
the State Capitol receive bounti.
fully Of the States revenues, then
our present General Assembly is
strictly Democratic. and is repre-
senting thoroughly the people of
the Commonwealth.
But there are a few men at
Baton Rouge who claim that
every thing is wrong among the
law makers; that the State is
throwing away money; that the
voters will sooner or later awaken
from their present Van Winkle
sleep, and assert themselves in
no uncertain tones. We quote
from Mr.. Aladdin Vincent, Re-
preventative in the House from
Calcasieu, who spoke in last Sun
days Times. Democrat:
But it is idle in this Legisla-
ture for a man to raise his voice
and advocate return to the old
fashioned principles of Democracy
which were handed down by the
fathers, and which survived one
hundred years Of war, pestilence
and famine and which are eternal
in that they are as good now as
they were the day they were emu
nicated. We have fallen on times
when man who breaches Demo
cracy, who advocates local self
government, who protests against
useless and wasteful appropria-
tion of money wrung from the
people by the tax. gatherer, is
called an old fogy and is looked
upon as an antique. It is the fad
to spend money, not to save it, to
create Offices If there are not al
ready enough to go around, to
make boards where no boards are
necessary; to increase salaries all
down the line, and if there is still
the faintest chance Of surplus.
then to vote the money for the
support of something else. This
Legislature has voted salaries and
increases in salaries for officers in
New Orleans, and not man who
voted for it knew whether the
people of New Orleans wanted it
done or not, We stick our hands
into the affairs of every parish and
every municipality and almost
every precinct, and when two or
three men rise aid protest they
are laughed at.

reversal Of everything which has

ed to vote for it because somebody

pie, because it's rule is better for
the people Of the State, because
its glorious history gives us pro-
mise Of good government, because
it is pledged to economy, it ap-
pears that the young men Of the

The platform of the Indiana republi- cans is one which will undoubtedly ap- peal to the progressive voters of the HooSier state. It faVors a revision of the tariff from time to time as business and proper protection of capital and labor demand it. the provision always to be made by the republican party as the special friend of the protective sys- tenn. It congra tulates this country and the people of Cuba on the establish ment of a new republic on that island and favors such reciprocal trade rela- tions with the new republic as will ben eft the trade of both the United States and Cuba. Trusts and combinations of capital that have for their purpose the restriction of trade or the control of prices, are condemned. All consolida- tions or mergers intended to lessen competition are denounced. The efforts of President Roosevelt to compel trusts to live within the law are endorsed.

And love of him ran grea atening from

 lips of men. The scourged Galilean walked the
 roads of earth again. I saw Jerusalem go down before the
 wrath of spears, And turn into a field of stones under
 the trampling years. All these fair towers and walls went
 down. with a great and terrible
 cry,
 While signs and portents threw on
 earth their shadows from the sky. Where spectral warriors strode the
 clouds like giant cherubim, Going to battle in the night, now glo-
 rious, now dim. Then whispers wild: the shouts of
 crazing prophets on the street: The wall of mothers by their dead; the
 sound of running feet; And then the temple reddened up. and

Acting upon their guiding principle

Acting upon their guiding prlnciple that the truth is always slow in over
 taking a sensa tional lie, THE the disreputable papers PLAIN of the territory were FACTS quick to distort and
 misrepresent the facts connected with the action of the court on the demurrer interposed by the at torneys of Governor Murphy and for rler Auditor Vickers in the suit brought against them by Thomas Wilson of Tucson and Eugene Ives of Yuma. In face of the facts that the case is yet to be tried on it's merits, these sheets have represented that q final decision had been rendered against the defend- ants. when as a matter of fact the de murrer on behalf of the governor was sustained and in the case of the for mer auditor it was simply held that if the statement set out by Ives and Will son. and technically admitted by the demurrer were correct there was ground for the action. And the dernur- Ter having been overruled, the case goes to trial. The misrepresentation of the reptile press have been reinforc- ed by the dispatches sent out by sensa- tional correspondents. personal enemies of the governor, journalists who care nothing as to the truth of their dis patches provided the matter is some thing that will be accepted and paid for by papers in the states. It is entire ly useless, of course. to reply to the ter ritorial papers guilty Of these misrep- resentations. They have neither suffi- cient character nor circulation to enti- tie them to notice. They are happy for days if they can persuade The Republi- can to quote something from them, even when the quotation marks them for the contempt of all respectable cit izens. A few reputable papers, hOwev- er have been misled by the lies sent out, as witness this item from the news columns of the Los Angeles Express: --. D..

 We take pleasure ill assuring the es- teemed Express that there is not a word of truth in the sentence referring to the suit in question. The case was not decided against the governor. On the contrary, to the extent that it was decided at all, it was in the gover- nors favor. The court did not decide that the former auditor "is responsible for the money. about $20,0O0" or for any other sum and the suit has not been tried. It will be tried within a very short time. and when it is, it will be shown that the hands of the governor and the auditor were clean in every transaction, and that the territory was not defrauded of a single dollar; tha

 The facts in the case seem to argue that the number of meat producing animals in the country today is rather smaller in proportion to population thar-ever before. The change from free range to more expensive stall feeding which has occurred in the past twenty years has not been favorable to lower prices. and the claim is made, apparently with justice. that were it not for the development of modern slaughtering methods. involving the utilization of the entire animal. the

 and pun S h the ordinary advance in the prices of meats if it be found that this advance is the result of a conspiracy of the packers. And the information already gathered by the newspapers makes it practical ly certain that the alleged combination exists. To what extent, however, the advance is due to the arbitrary action of the packers, and to what extent to the shortage in the supply of cattle on the hoof, is an open question. One thing is certain, however, and that is that it is utterly foolish to undertake to thwart the trust by a boycott of packing house products. In comment ing on the situation Bradstreet's for the current week shows that at least part of the advance is on account of the scarcity of beef cattle. Says that paper:
