Obituary..

God works in mysterious ways, which seems
strange to u.s. but he is just and all-wise Father,
and cannot err. He saw fit to come into the home
of brother P. c. Taylor and took his wife August
Is, 1904. Sister Taylor was born Sept. 1, 1880;
married to P. c. Taylor March 2, 1902; joined the
Benton Baptist Church Nov. 1, 1908. It has been
my pleasure to know sister Taylor since she first
came to Benton. She was a lovable character, de-
voted wife and mother. She left two Children
little darling babe just few days old; little Ivey
May about two years old; broken hearted hus-
band and host of relatives and friends, who SYM
pathise with brother Taylor She has gone home
to her heavenly Father, there to enjoy the peaceful
rest that awaits the children of God. Rev. xiv-13
we have such words as these: 1sAnd heard a voice
from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are
the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth
Yea, sayeth the Spirit, that they may rest from
their labors; and their works do follow them.''-
Sleep on dear sister, for the time win come when
the Father will call his children to their reward
We all shall meet where there is no sorrow, pain,
nor tears, neither parting. God bless brother Tay
lor in this hour of aicton loneliness and sadness
May this work out for him a brighter future.

says: Twenty parishes out of So have filed their

twenty show an increase of nearly eight million
dollars over the assessment of 1903. This is con-
sdered wonderful increase, and shows how great
and rapid is the development in louisiana If the
remaining parishes show the same ratio of increase,
the total for 1904 will be very near S24 OO0, 600,

Avoyelles Blade: The sugar planters of lower
Louisiana who decreased their acreage Of cane that
they might plant cotton because of the big price
obtained last year for the staple will be very much
disappointed. That section of the State is not, in
fact, cotton country. 1t is too near the Gulf and
therefore the breezes salty and injurious to the
plants Added to this, the season has been very
rainy one and, and the country being low, sad havoc
has been played with the cotton crops. We pre-
sumo that this experiment will be the end of cotton
planting in the lower parishes and the farmers will
go back to cane culture.

" Stack Arms.''

BY JOS. B. ALSToN.
Written in the prison at Fort Delaware Dell hearing
II the surrender of Gen. Lee.l
Stack Arms!' I've gladly heard the cry
When, weary with the dusty tread
OF marching troops, as night drew nigh,
sank upon my soldier bed,
And calmly slept; the starry dome
OF heavens blue arch my canopy,
And mingled with my dreams of home,
The thoughts of Peace and Liberty.
"Stack Arms!" I've heard it, when the shout
Exulting rang along our line,
OF foes hurled back in bloody route,
Captured, dispersed; its tones divine
Then came to mine enraptured ear.
Guerdon Of duty nobly done,
And glistenng on my cheek the tear
OF grateful joy for victory won.
Stack Arms!" In faltering accents slow
And sad, it creeps from tongue to tongue.
broken, murmuring wall Of woe,
From many hearts by anguish wrmg,
Like victims of midnight dream,
We move, we know not how nor why,
For life and hope but phantoms seem,
And it would be relief-to die!

DEMOCRACY MUST ADVANCE.

Bryan's Commoner.
A democrat of prominence in tire
nation who openly and earnestly oppos-
ed the ticket in 1896 writes as follows:
Il have read your article on the
election and | believe you are nearly
right. Ii there IS lesson to be drawn
from this last election 1T is that the
people want something radical and
something that they can rely upon.
There is no chance for a conservative
democratic party. We have forgotten
the traditions of Jefferson and Jackson
they were positive and pushing. we
are slow and apologize. This country
has got to have better system of tax
ton or there will be trouble-and taxa
alton to my mind includes the tariff
question as we'll as an income tax,
which am heartily ia favor of. We
must not give up, either, the question
of the Philippines. If somethi ne is not
done there the country is lost"
This is sample Of the letters that
have been received since the election.
The writer of the above letter is now
convinced that the democratic party
can not hope to win the confidence of
the masses unless 1t goes forward and
takes up the question in which the
people are interested.
AT st. Louis every member of the
resolutions committee except one ex-
pressed himself i'll favor of the income
tax but it was omitted from the plat
form because those who controlled the
convention did not want to offend the
moneyed element. 1t was pointed out
{ In the committee by those who favored
the tax that even upon the low plane
of expectancy the party could not
afford TO ignore the injustice that our
present tax systems bring to the masses.
The income tax is just tax. If the
rank and file of the people were as
alert to protect their interests as
the corporations are to protect their
interests, the sentiment in favor of the
income tax would be overwhelming
but enough understand the situation
to make it folly for the democratic
party to dodge or evade the issue.
The late campaign lacked life and
enthusiasm, and these were lacking be
cause the voters did not feel that there
was as much difference as there ought
to be between the republican and dem
ocratIc parties.
The democratic party can not hope
to be popular with organized wealth
unless it is willing to surrender Itself
completely 10 the dictatlon Of organic
ed wealth, and even then il could mol
hope to win the monopolists away from
the republican party. If, however, the
democratic party will convince the
masses that it is going to stand ant
promote their welfare 1t can become {
powerful and effective influence il
politics.
The fact that many who opposed tbt
party 10. 1895 now realize the necessity
for an active and progressive de
mocracy, is one of the crumbs OF com
fort to be gathered from the lat
lamentable defeat.

DEMOCRATS STAYED AT HOME.

From the Wichita Beacon.
That Missouri is not republican is
evident from the figures given in the

voting population in four years, there
was falling off of 10000 in the mum

In the recent election the Roosevelt
vote was 321 ,440, while four years ago
Mckinley received 1914 O91 votes, a
difference of 1000 in favor of Mr..
Roosevelt, Judge Parker received but
295, S47 votes while Mr.. Bryan in 1900
received 35l .922, difference of 5000

The total vote cast for all presidential
candidates III 1900 was 683 ,644 while the
vote cast at the recent election was but
GAS, $50, difference OF 40, 600 III favor
of four years ago.
The decrease of 10000 in the total
and the fact that sc, 600 who voted for
Bryan did not vote for Judge Parker,
is clear indication that the stay at.

1t IS we'll for the republicans of
