MORE SUPREME JUDGES.

A strong sentiment has developed
fsvoring the increasing of the num-
Der of Louisiana supreme justices
from i've to seven. An agitation
along that line started some time
ago, and it has grown in force of
late until it is now said, upon good
authority, that bill will be in
troduced at the coming session of
the Legislature to provide for a
constitutional amendment making
the number seven in place of FIVE.
1t would be necessary to get such
q bill through the Legislature call
ing for an election Of the people on
proposed change. 1.-THE measuring
should pass the Legislature, then
it would be two years before it
could be submitted to the direct
vote of the people, at the next
election.
Friends Of the proposed change
argue that five judges on the
supreme bench are not enough.
They say the present Court,
although it works almost night
and day, is several months behind,
and that there is really more work
then the five judges can do.
Most of the States have about
i've judges. Some have only three,
while others have seven or eight;
but five is an average number.
However, 1t 10 cited that States
having i've, like Missouri, for in-
stance, are years behind in their
decisions, and that Court can't
possibly grind out the work.
Bernard xcCloskey, President Of
the Louisiana Bar Association, was
asked yesterday if that Association
had taken any action on the sug-
gestion to increase the judges.
"No action has been taken,'' he
replied, "and the matter has never
come before either the Association
Or our Executive Committee in an
official manner. have heard the
suggestion talked Of, but the matter
has never been considered officially,
Ind, until our Board takes some
.ction, l would not care to venture
my opinion as to what the at
itude of the Bar Association wonld

from any return of the disease, or

THE UNRULY MEMBER.

For some reason or other, never
lucidly explained, the average Ameri
can deems it necessary to indulge in
profanity, many seem to think that the
most unimportant statement must be
ornamented or accentuated by an oath.
We can understand how an over
charged mind in the face of great pro-
vocation will reel off several yards of
profanity, but to be constantly using
the name of God in vain under the
most trivial circumstances is both sim
full and inexcusable. When to this
practice is added that of obscene Ian
guage regardless ofplace or persons,
it becomes q matter for unmeasured
denunciation, and cannot be practiced
by ony one, boy or man, who lays
the slightest claims to decency or
gentility. Our streets and especially
the corners are often the headquarters
of these foul-mouthed bipeds, who
disgrace the mother tongue and rules
of decency by the foul stream that
flows from their mouths. regardless
of the fact that the ears of passersby,
often pure women and innocent child
rem, are forced to hear it. Such ac-
ton is really an assault, and amen
able to.law, and our sofficers can gain
the appreciation of all decent citizens
by taking cognizance Of this crime
against the public, and at once arrest
ing the offenders, bringing them be-
fore the proper authorities whoI
should punish to the full extent of
the law. We especially recommend
our police officers to give this matter
heir strict attention and endeavor toI
break up the disgusting and reprehen-
'ible practice.

cipar stockholders. That the neces.
sity exists for the erection of these
buildings none can deny, the need is
felt every day, and expressions from
travelling people are, free and numer.

wake up or she will be left in the
race for place by all her sister towns.
Lafayette, Crowley, Lake Charles and
all the towns of Southwest Louisiana
seem to be active in this work, and
the Southern Pacific Railroad recog-
nizes their importance by running|

HOW A FELON BECAME
A SENATOR.

United States Senator Joseph r.
Burton of Kansas, was on last
Monday convicted in the United
States District Court at St. Louis
for accepting brides to use his
high official position to protect a
fraudulent concern in the use of
the United States mails, which were
being used to defraud foolish and
imprudent people who were anxious
to pay their money in order to get
rich quick.
The crime of which he was CON
victtd is IL felony, and he can be
sentenced to the penitentiary for
ten years and be condemned, in ad-
dition to pay Gne Of $4,000.
The question is naturally asked /:
Was this the case of a good man
who for some unaccountable reason
went wrong once in his life, or was
he person of known bad reputa-
toni This question is answered
in the Chicago Tribune by William
Allen White, prominent Kansas
writer. Says Mr.. v mite:
BurtOn's character has been we'll
known in Kansas for twenty years,
and in the Senate, while he has not
been known so long, he has
been Stunned by the decent ele-
ment there for two years, and his
name has been written among the
impossibles.
For a dozen years before he went
to Washington as Senator from
Kansas he was a professional can
didate for senatorial hOnors. He
had served term of two in the
lower house of the State Legisla-
ture, whore he openly solicited
brides and wss charged dozens of
times in the newspapers of the
State with being a boodler without
the slightest resentment upon
Burton's part. Time and again
perfectly reputable and financially
responsible newspapers have charg-
ed Burton with violation of every |
obligation of life, social, moral, |
political and financial, and he made
no attempt to bring these news
papers to the bar of justice.
Such was the mans reputation
before he went to Washington, and
since he has been there be has been
detected in various corrupt jobs.
Kansas has been represented in the
United States Senate by some big
men, big in ability and high in
Preston Plumb and John
J. ingalls,, for instance, and the
is how such a man as Bur-
ton ever got into the place once oc-
,upied by them. Mr.. White an
swers that question also. He says:
His election was due to the in
auence of railroads in State politics.
Every local attorney for the Rock
Island, Missouri Pacific, the Santa
Re and the Union Pacific who had
my influence was at Topeka work
ng for Burton. Peremptory orders
'ame out Of Chicago and st. Louis
n the campaign which ended with ,
election demanding that ,
Ocal Kansas railroad lawyers sup ,
,ort Burton or lose their places.
l railroad has right in politics
or defense, but the railroad cam $
'aign for Burton was not defensive, $
mt offensive. 1t was a war of con- 4!
uest.
There is no question that great a
nprations, railways and others, 3
control State and municipal
in their interests. It is .
gerous to the people Q

How Is Treat Your Hands.

The exigencies of domestic life make
many people treat their hands as if they
were insensitive things. The following
simple rules may bring such sufferers
solid comfort: The hands are to be
rubbed over at night with mixture of
lanolin, one part. and sweet almond oil,
three parts. Large gloves of kid or
leather are then to be donned. For
washing the hands the best soap and
warm water must be used and it is pref
cradle to employ lather. Rinsing
should always follow washing. Finally.
this lotion is to be freely rubbed over the
skin: Precipitated chalk, one ounce;
glycerin, one ounce and half; saturated
solution of gelatin, two drains; rose
water to make eight ounces. The bot
tie should be well shaken before it's con-
tents are poured out. AS the chalk has a
tendency to deposit round the nails. the
latter must be carefully wiped.-Chi-

IN AN OLD TRUNK.
Baby Finds a Bottle of Carbolic Acid
and Drinks It,

While the mother was unpacking 8.
old trunk little Is months old baby
got hold of bottle Of carbolic acid
while playing on the floor and his stom-
ach was so badly burned it was feared
he would not live for he could not eat
ordinary foods. The mother says in
telling of the case:
save him as it burnt his throat and
stomach so bad that for two months
after he took the poison nothing would
lay on his stomach. Finally took him
into the country and tried new milk
and that was no better for him. His
Grandma finally suggested Grape-Nuts.
and am thankful adopted the food
for he commenced to get better right
away and would not eat anything else.
He commenced to get fleshy and his
cheeks like red roses and now he is en-
tirely we'll.
Il took him to Matamoras on a visit
and every place we went to stay to eat
he called for Grape-Nuts and l would
have to explain how he came to call for
It as it was his main food
'The names of the physicians who at
tended the baby are DR.. Eddy Of this
town and DR.. Geo. Gale of Newport, O.,
and anyone can write to me or to them
and learn what Grape-Nuts food will do

to the wrist, where 1t is trimmed with
no less than six ruf1es, each one
bordered with narrow la'e. These ruff
fles reach almost to the elbow and the
effect is decidedly quaint
The umbrella sleeve is lovely and Is
best described by it's name If it could
be lifted" it would form a very nice
parasol cover. AS it is it is gathered
into the arm hole and falls in many
points around the hand. Underneath
there is a lingerie cuff over which the
points make very nice trimming.
There is the bag sleeve, which IL
very much liked, and which can be EN-
ployed upon many gowns. 1t is suit
able for all materials from spligged
lawn to broadcloth. This sleeve has
its fullest part underneath. 1t il gath

below the elbow. And. from this band
of embroidery, there falls flounce of

The cape sleeve is one that Is also
worn. This is gathered into the arm
hole and falls mostly at the back.
There is an underneath sleeve of thin
ner stuff. This sleeve IL DESIGNED tos

age of the gown, but give the
distinctive touch in nine cases out
of ten as Dame Fashion rules in these
days. Sleeves just now differ enough
in style to suit the most changeable
representative of the fair sex, the only
point of resemblance being certain
degree of shoulder slope. This variety
is most welcome, for it enables a
woman to select q different type of
sleeves for almost every kind of gown
or waist, and at the same time secure
something new and suitable. In the
accompanying group. which we take
from Brooklyn Eagle, are seen five ia
vorite models, in which the principal
points of the seasons sleeves are noted.
First is the new inverted gigot
sleeve, shaped entirely to the. wrist by
means of the seams, and minus any
added cuff. Another is pretty exam
pie of the Stuart sleeve, edged either
with lace or hemstitched lawn frills. n
third shows popular elbow sleeve,
decorated with rows of narrow ribbon,
and edged with handkerchief cuff.
TIE fourth design is Partisan and semi
loose 1t is gagged to the armhole and
round the upper arm, falling loose till
it reaches tie vide gauntlet cuff The
last style, suited to an evening frock
or tea gown, is formed of deep pouf

Among other new sleeves can be
counted at least half dozen that are
distinctive in style. There is the
sleeve which is shaped like a crook
