The Madison Journal says
Comment is general as to the
growth of crime in the parish. 1t
Is fortunate that it exist principal
ly in the ranks of irresponsible
whites and negroes. In the con-
sideration of this matter a great
many persons will naturally seek
the cause and it is suggested by
many that it is found in the unre.
stricted sale of liquor throughout
the parish. 1t is pointed ont tina t
at many stores in the parish were
liquor is sold no attention is paid
to the preservation of order and
that drunkenness and disorder is
the usual outcome. The fact is
the seller of liquor will be called
upon to preserve better order in
the future, and in the event of the
failure to heed the present NUT
tering, the time is not far distant
when strong steps will be taken TO
destroy the cause, which means
that the traffic in liquor will be
stopped. The Journal has oppos-
Ell prohibition in every form and
will continue to oppose it, hence
no claim of partisanship can be
laid at our doors, but We simply
state the fact that public senti-
ment is fast growing against the
sale of liquor at places without po-
lice regulation. Now if the liquor

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Rochester IN. " Herald says:
Russia has an .autocratic government
of the most antique form of despotism,
no religious liberty, no freedom or
speech, no ballot, no public school sys-
tenn, no Congress or other legislative
body, no constitution, no tolerance of
progress in any form and only thin
veneer of civilization. In Japan there
is constitutional government, absolute
freedom of religious belief, freedom of
speech, a system of common schools
and public education as good as that
in our own land, the ballot, wise
and honest judicial administration, a
broad, well-balanced and modern sys-
tenn of government and a high type of
civilization"

Jnpan's Opinion of England.

1t is both interesting and important
to know at this juncture what is the
japanese opinion of the Englishman.
says the New York Herald. Here il
is, as written by Japanese: "The
England which occupied of the largest
and greatest dominion which rarely
can be. The Englishman works with
a very powerful hands and the long
legs and even the eminenced mind, his
chin is so strong as deceived iron. He
are not allowed it to escape if he did
sliced something. Being spread his
dominion is dreadfully extensive so
that his countryman boastally say the
sun are never sets on our dominions.
The Testimony Of English said that
he that lost the common sense, he
never aEy benefit though he had gain
ed the complete world. The English
are cunning institutional to establish
a great empire of the Paradise. The

give you my Testimony So 1t is not

lishman always confide the object to

Held Uu a Conmdence Man.

This story has the ring of familiari-
ty, says New York paper, but it is
told as a fact, though names are not
given:
A gray-haired Western sheriff stood
on the corner of Broadway and TWEEN
ty-third street last Thursday, when a
slick gentleman approached him, held
out his hand and exclaimed heartily:
BY Jove, how are you? It's ten
years ago since we met out West,
isn't it?"
The sheriff grfpped the preferred
hand earnestly and replied: Lets
see. The West is a pretty big place.
Maybe you can be leetle more spe-
cific"
Hang it," replied the slick gentle
man. Cant seem to locate the place

"Ah! have it," cried the big sheriff
'I have it! knew your features were
familiar, and I'll bet that the place I
saw you in was Leadville, where |
helped lynch a - - - of con-
fidence man."
And so saying, he twirled the dapper
gentleman around, kicked him solemn
ly across the street, and as a parting
shot said:

Wasn't it that of senator? Didn't
Mr.. Thatcher want to be United States
senator?'
"Oh, yes" said Smith; IT think il
was that. 1t was senator-or some
thing like that"
The look that came over Senator
Hoars face as he heard the words that
meant that any living being thought
there was an office on earth like that

thing awful to witness. In a mo.
ment it had passed and the whole

WHY THE LETTER ISN'T MAILED.

One of the thirteen of what Mark
Twain declares are the only original
jokes turns upon the letter which the
mans wife gives him to mail as he
leaves for business in the morning,
and which she finds in his pocket when
he returns home at night. Every hus-
band and every wife has had the ex-
perience of the unmailed letter. Now
the psychologists have taken up the
matter and are attempting to explain
why the missive missed the mail. The
usual explanation of the husband, for
got it," win not suffice for the psychol-
ogists. Being scientific persons, they
seek the reason for the forgetfulness.
The wife would have had no such lapse
of memory She would have had a bur
den on her mind until she had dropped
the letter into the slot and poked a
hairpin in after it to made sure that
it had not lodged on the side. Is for
getfulness, then, a characteristic of
the male human creature? What in
duces it?

said, land when I'm not striking I'll be

now, so we might as well spend it
while we can get some personal ad-
vantage out of it, and then come in

DANDRUFF CAUSED BY A GERM.
A New DiscoI cry That Kills the Germ
and Prevents Badness.

Pretty nearly all the hair prepar-
in allaying itching of the scalp, and
in being a fairly good dressing for
the hair, but there is only one that
recognizes what causes dandruff, fall
ing hair, and badness, and that de-
stroys the cause, a little germ-and
that is Newbros Herpicide. This
germ eats its way into the scalp, it
digs up the scalp into little white
scales. Unless it is destroyed there's
no permanent stopping of falling hair
and cure of dandruff and badness.
Newbro's Herpicide kills the germ.
