the man who has to pay the bills.
When it comes to making a choice
between statistics and a private
bank account as a reliable basis on
which to figure the cost of living,
folks are liable to take the bank
account. "
Last week the wholesale price of
beef was set at fourteen to fifteen
cents, which is the highest price
since the Civil War Probably the
price was raised, says the Philadel-
phia Record, "just to encourage
Secretary Shaw to make further
remarks about the greater advance
in wages than in cost of living"
The New York Evening Post re-
marks in a similar vein:
"Beef went up five cents pound
in Washington yesterday, and Sec
retary Shaw must be filled with
delight There will be no more
nourishment in the beef, but the
digestion of every one who eats it
will be improved by the proud con
sciousness that he is paying more
for it. Consequently his girth will
be enlarged and his countenance
become more ruddy. That is Sec
retary Shaw's potion; we pay to
ourselves, he says. But every rule
has its exception. Despite Mr..
Shaw's little maxim, somebody,
we fear, will be blamed. Already
the packers have begun to clear
their skirts. we are not the
ones, they are crying. You
must 90 to the White House to
find the cause of higher beef. In
short, if the President had not
made them take down their fences
on the public domain and pay more
for cowboys, the full dinner-pail
would be in no danger. But we are
afraid this is too fine a distinction
for the owner of the pail. He will
not 60 into all that. He will simply
say, Beef is high and Roosevelt is
President, that is enough for me. ~

THE LOAFING CLASS.

The idle and worthless negroes in
the cities of the south are not only
non producers, but they are n menace
to the peace and prosperity of the
State in every way. They congregate
in the cities, towns and Villages, and
at all places where day labor can be
had, and refuse to work on the farms
and plantations They live by steal
ing outright or making their women
who work for the whites, steal for
them when they fail to get work
And yet there are people who con
tend that it will not do to enact
vagrant law that reach the loaferS.
Listen to what Commissioner Lee of
the State agricultural department said
along this line in his latest report:
: During the year 1902 our supply of
farm labor was entirely inadequate
to the demand Owing to short
crops in neighboring States and the
shortage of the sugar crop in this
State. there was some improvements
in 1908; but even then there was q
scarcity of labor during the harvesting
season | hardly think we can look
for any permanent relief i'll the labor
situation unless there is some legisla-
ton to prevent the congestion of idle
negroes in the larger towns at a time
when they are most needed on the
farm / think law that could ac-
this, i'll whole or in part,
would not only benefit our farmers,
but would materially lesson the work
Of our criminal courts. - Shreveport

LOUlSlANA'S GREAT EDUCATIONAL
STEP FORWARD.


the bill authorizing the issue by
the State of q bond issue to the ex-
tent of million dollars, to be used
for the purposes Of public educa-
ton, will be the beginning Of a
new era in that great interest for
Louisiana.
Public education was the key
note of Governor Blanchard's in
augural address. In it he proposed
this bond issue, he struck so
powerfully the chords of sympathy
and favor in the minds of the peo-
pie that the bond issue was among
the earliest propositions placed be-
fore the Legislature in the form
Of a bill. 1t was a matter of such
Importance that there was no de-
sire to rush it through, out, on the
contrary, it was given the fullest
consideration and discussion.
The measure was carefully per-
fected, and now it has become a
law, to take effect after due pro-
mitigation, as the Constitution re-
quires. The bonds will be. sold
without difficulty at favorable
rates, and 1t will not be long be-
fore the money will be available
for the important uses to which it
is designed.
Governor Blanchard has already
set up a distinguished landmark
even at this early date in his ad-
ministration, and it will be hailed
as a beacon far beyond the limits
of the State. Louisiana has long
suffered from the stigma Of having
relatively the largest illiterate pop
ulation in the Union. Louisiana
has had no reason to be ashamed
of this unfortunate fact, because
it grew ont conditions which were
beyond control. People whose de-
liberate acts are disgraceful or
criminal should be overwhelmed
with shame when they are exposed,
but whatever misfortune are the
result Of accident or other un-
controllable causes are to be de-
plored, but not made subjects for
censurc or reproach. :
Nevertheless, while the extern
siveilliteracy in ourpopulationis the
result OF irresistible causes in the
beginning, it constitutes an evil
by asking pecuniary aid from the
Federal Government, seeming in
their misplaced zeal TO care li'lle
if the entire public school system
of the South were by that means
put under the coutrol of a sectional
national government.
At a very .Denacing juncture
Governor Blanchard proposed
special exertions on the part OF the
State in favor OF public education.
His plans were so practical that
they found a large place in popular
favor, and they have been accepted,
seconded and enacted into practical
and authoritative realities by the
General Assembly. Thus has been
accomplished most important and
outreaching consummatiOn that will
go for to redeem the State from
the stain OF illiteracy. Hcaynne

WAGES AND THE COST or LIVING.

Secretary Shaw recently told q
workingmen's political club in
Wilmington, Del, of the blessings
Of combination of high wages
and high prices, and since then
some of the paragraphers have been
making satrical remarks at the ex-
pense of the Secretary. When
ever the price of commodity
goes up, these writer's picture Mr..
Shaw jumping with joy. The Sec
retary remarked that, the cost
of life's necessities has increased,
the rate of wages has been ad-
vanced in even greater degree. He
promised that there would soon be
published document proving
statistically the correctness of this
statement. "Higher wages" he
says, "mean more and better food
for the wage Garner, more and bet
ter clothes for his familj, a better
roof for the home, and, therefore,
a better market for the farmer.
Higher prices for cattle aud corn
mean more lumber for farm build
Jugs, more barbed wire for fences,
more and furniture for the home,
better carpets, better market for
the wage Garner.
"The Republican party is COM
mitted to the doctrine that it is a
good thing that the cost of living
should be high" says the New
York Times (Ind. Dem. J: "it
was different when Mr.. Cleveland
was president. High living ex.
penses were not then pictured forth
as an indication of prosperity and
source of happiness. F" The Provi-
dence Journal (Ind.) declares ::
at will be exceedingly difficult to
make the majority of wage-workers
and salaried employees believe that
the facts are what the figures will
not, as rule, be able to find in
their own experience during the
last few years that regular income
has increased as rapidly as the cost
of living"
Since Mr. Shaw made that speech
a report has been published by the
Government, in which the prices
for May, 1904, are compared with
those of May, 1903, showing that
the cost of living is reduced. The
which show a decline are
mess pork, lard, tin, rice, tallow,
pig iron, iron bars. steel billets,
tin plates, coke, copper, leather,
tin and spelter, while those which
show an increase are practically all
the farm products-wheat, corn,
oats, cotton, wool, cattle, butter,
sugur aud coffee. The opposition
fail to find anything
gratifying in the report, but re-
mark that if we ate iron, tin, cop
per, ETC., it would be different.
The Washington Time, (Ind. } says
Of the report:
"Of course, it is interesting to
know that oleostearin, pig iron,
steel bars, raw silk, and sisal hemp
have gone down, but the fact re,
mains that the things which the
average man is buying for home con-
are wheat, corn, cotton,
wool, petroleum, sugar, and beef,
all of which, including the beef,
have gone up.

Why our Vinol is the Greatest
Health Restorer and Strength
Creator Known to Medicine.

Because Vinol contains in concen-

ative elements found in cod liver oil,
but without drop of oil to nauseate

far more good.
Because we have never sold anything
in our store equal to Vinol to restore
health and create strength for old -peo-
pie, weak, sickly women and children,

Vinol cures hacking coughs, chronic
colds, bronchitis, and all throat and
