BETTER THAN LAW HONESTY

Something more than new laws is
needed TO restore a social conscience
to those seats of finance and com
merce from which Il SENS to have
been driven. The significance OF the
prevailing ferment in American life
is that it is no longer deemed en-
ough to be law honest" To rely on
the laws alone is TO reduce the plane
of social life to the level of the low
est common denominator. There are
potencies in public opinion large
enough to restrain the tempted man
from profitable commercial weakness
TO hold back the %rapacious man from
his piracies, to reward the man who
under difficulties is true to himself.
One of the hopeful signs of the times
is that these %potencies are being or
ganized. II is going TO be easier
than IL has been for men to be as
square in their business Offices az
they are outside OF them.-New York
Mail.

servance OF Lent. And II Is true that
this world will eve be what IL ought
TO be until IL is controlled by spirit
ual forces.
That is true.
Men talk about changing the laws.
That may be good sometimes. They
talk OF changing institutions. That
also may be good sometimes. They
talk about changing the forms OF So
ciety. Even that may be necessary
sometimes. But none OF these things
Cf themselves. Will ever make the
world right.
Men, not things. must be changed.
Never until IL is felt by all-and
carried into pIacticc-that men have
souls, that the life OF the soul is more
than meat, that the soul must rule
the body-never until that time will
humanity be what humanity in its
best and highest longings hopes 90
be.
And this reminder OF the Lenten
season is for the church as we'll ms
for the world at large.
The church must have higher aims
than success measured by numbers
ard infiuenc. IL must care for the
souls OF men more than for mint
and cummin" and rituals. There
mist be less OF exclusiveness and
mroe of fraternity. less OF form and
Il ore OF fru"rn..v less of form and
the mere habit OF worship and more
simplicity and helpfulness.
The church, like the world. Is suf-
fering from excess of prosperity. In
some quarters IL is becoming a mere
money getting institution. In too
many cases Il has developed machin-
cry the cost of whose operation is
more than the product. In almost
every direction IL is becoming too
much drenched with the commercial
spirit.
But the lesson OF Lent to church
and individual abides.
You cannot be good. you cannot
be great. YOU cannot be even happy
without renouncing self. And you
cannot build character without self
discipline.
In short, o can do nothing In the
spiritual realm IL you do not live in
that realm.
1t is therefore worth while that all
OF us should take to heart the teach
ing of Lent. Stop and weigh the
things of the flesh with the things of
the spirit.

Fire at WINFIELD.

Judge Geo. Wear, who was in
Winfield at the time, informed us
that last Wednesday morning at
an early hour the planer of the
Sulphur Timber & Lumber Co.,
situated in that town, was destroy
ed by fire, together with a consid-
cradle quantity of lumber near by.
The mill proper and a large lot of
lumber on hand we're saved by the
earnest efforts of the citizens, al
though at one time it looked like
the entire plant would be swept by
the flames, the still atmospher e
contributing largely to the success
of the fire fighters. Due to the
fact that the plant was located too
close up in town the situation had
become undesirable, and the CON-
,pany had just closed out its hold
ing with the exception of the mill
and machinery, to the Grant Par
ish Lumber Co., and arrangements
are going forward to remove the
plant about the first of the. year
The boiler from which the electric
light plant of Winfield derived
its power, was situated at the plan
er, the dynamo, located in bricl
structure to itself, and for time
until other arrangements are made
the town will be without electric
light facilities. The S 9 ntin Q |
which was using electric power OF
its presses from the same source
will also be compelled to return t

Lumber, steel and other build
ing materials are abnormally high
at San Francisco, SO much so that
it is seriously retarding the re-
building of that city. The Repub-
leans at the last session OF Con-
gress refused to allow building
material to come in free of duty
for a limited time, and thus pre-
vent the trusts that control lum-
Der, steel, etc., from raising prices
to the unfortunate Friscans. Nc
doubt the trusts and combines are
reciprocating by liberal subserip-
tons to the Republican Congress
