A Lie of Freedom.

People sometimes think now delight
full it would be to be quite free But
a fish, as Ruskin says, is freer than a
man, and, as for a fly, it is "a black
incarnation OF freedom" !" A life of so
called pleasure and self indulgence is
not life of real happiness or true
freedom Far from it, If we once be-
gin to give way to ourselves we fall
under a most intolerable tyranny. 9th
er temptations are in some respects
like that Of drink At first, perhaps, 1t
seems delightful, but there is bitter
ness at the bottom or the cup. Men

previous indulgence So it is in other
things. Repetition soon becomes a
craving, not a pleasure. Resistance
grows more and more p,tinful.. Yield=
ing, which at first, perhaps, afforded
some Slight and temporary gratifca-
tion, soon ceases to give pleasure and,
even if for a time it procures relief,
ere long becomes odiouS itself

We note that several municipal
lities have passed screening ordi-
nances, requiring that all cisterns
and other water receptecles be
thoroughly and permanently
screened. This is done in view of
the established fact that the ste.
gomyia mosquito is the only
means of spreading yellow fever.
There was yellow fever almost all
over the State last year, and as
late as January 28th 1906 Que case
of yellow fever was reported in
Kenner, La. If one case develop
ed in Kenner in January, it it pos
sibIe that some other cases deve-
lop elsewhere at some other time.
There is danger of yellow fever
again this coming summer, and
for this reason, we believe the
communities which have adopted
the screening ordinance, have done
the right thing and at the proper
time. We believe our local board
of health and the town authorities
should see to this and have such
an ordinance passed at once and
strictly enforced.

tic when applied to business affairs.
Progress is not made by standing
still, but by moving along. Az
the country develops and condi-
tions change, the laws and busi-
ness methods must be adapted to
them. Tariffs, railroad rates,
prices of commodities. in fact,
every thing entering into national
development, are subject 10 this
natural law and when politicians
talk about standing pat" they are
in effect declaring against growth,
