portions of the sugar district
there are reports of excellent
crops indeed, somewhat above
the average. Nevertheless the
damage done by the drought can
scarcely be entirely recovered
and the crop as a whole will very
likely prove short. even though

SHOULD HANDLE OWN WORTH
LESS CHARACTERS.

Commenting upon the fact that
Lake Charles had recently
driven out some seventy worth
less negroes, the New Iberia
Iberian said in its issue of last
week:
Instead of sending them adrfft to
poison other communities further by
their noxious presence, vices, and
thriftlessness it would be possibly
better to enact laws which would re-
quire that such characters be sent to
vagrant farms where they would be
compelled to support themselves by
honest toll till their habits could be
corrected. Either that, or assign
them to public works.
Which is exactly in line with
the views expressed by The Ad-
vertiser in a recent issue. Every
community should take care of
its own idle and vicious class.
Driving them out is only
temporary relief. The radiance
effected, things soon settle
down to their normal and all the
exiles drift back.
IT each community would
determine to handle worthless
characters and not indulge in
this spasmodic running-out-of-
town business, results of a per-
manent and beneficial character
could be attained, something
that can never happen as long as
indifference lis manifested until
some great provocation occurs,
which produces an effort and
then indifference.
1t should be the settled policy
of every town and every parish
in the State tolook after theirown
idle and worthless characters and,
as the Iberian suggests, send
them to vagrant farms or put
them on publicworks. Such of
course will avail something if
persistently followed out.

..Make hay While the Sun Shines"

There is a lesson in the work of the
thrifty farmer. He knows that the
bright sunshine may last but a day
and he prepares for the showers which
are so liable to follow. So it should
be with every household. Dysentery,
diarrhoea and cholera mOrbus may at
tack some member of the home without
warning. Chamberlain's Collie, ChOl-
era and DiarrhOea Remedy, which is
the best known medicine for these di-
seases, should always be kept at hand.

Preserving Scenery"

Not long ago a man of national I'M
beautify the city of Washington as,
spending money for scenery" The
phrase may be taken as sheer, as it
was intended to be taken, or with APP
prOval, as expressing a truth and a
wise policy. Spending money for
scenery, remarks Youths Companion,
is one of the most hopeful signs of a
reawakening to natural possibilities.
1t is not confined to any one region.
San Francisco is already talking about
the Burnham plans for identifying the
city, which have long been in abey-
ance. The rebuilding of the Gateway
of the west now affords an opportunity
to put them in practice. Niagara falls,
the White mountains, the Appalach!-
ans and the Palisades are eastern
scenery, but they are also national
possessions, and it is with sort OF
wonder that commercial interests have
discovered how strong the feeling is
against destroying them or encroach-
ing seriously upon them. The old state
house in Boston and Independence hall
in Philadelphia are more local eX-
amples of the same quality of public
interest which lies in sentiment. They
are scenery" of a sort which appeals
TO a pride as stubborn as the power
of money, and more creditabe. The
man who cares for his fathers grave
and preserves the old family home is
paying money for scenery" too, but
more persons understand that kind OF
sentiment The other kind-the larger,
more communal and fraternal kind
is just as surely coming into its own.

THE GOTHAM TRAGEDY.

Stanford White, architect, million
aire and art connoisseur, attended the
first performance of Mile. Cham
payne" at Madison Square roof garden,
New York, and was assassinated by
Harry X. Thaw, Pittsburg million
aire, who alleges that his victim was
intimate with Mrs. Thaw, who was for
merly Evelyn Nesbit, beautiful Choir
us girl.
Events which were shaped by Mrs
Harry ID. Thaw in an effort to defend
her husband for the murder of Stan
ford White in Madison Square roof
garden, were regarded as supplying a
more or less complete explanation of
the crime. A letter was written by
Stanford White to Mrs. Thaw. Mr..
Thaw found the letter and there was
thus revealed to him the fact that
Stanford White persisted in pursuing
his wife. knowledge that Mrs. Thaw
suffered the keenest anguish because of
this continued pursuit apparently
drove Thaw to insane frenzy
AS the authorities begin to inquire
into the private life of White they no
longer marvel that he was shot down
The investigation has already shown
that there is an organized band of rich
clubmcn and artists who make victims
or young girls of the stage, of the
shops and of poorer homes. Their
treatment of these girls, many of them
mere children, is too brutal for des-
cripIion.
Harry Kendall Thaw was indicted
for murder in the first degree for the
killing of Stanford White on the Madi-
son Square roof garden.

CONGRESS ENDED
Adjourns on the Last Day Of
the Fiscal
Year
The FIRST TIME ON RECORD
Closing Scenes Are Formal and De-
void of interest-UsuaI Hilar'tY in
the House Speaker c. Talks
on Work Done.

Washington, d. c., July For
the first time in thu history OF the
government congress adjourned on
the day which closed the fiscal year.
Other sessions had adjourned before
and some after June 80, but the Fifty
ninth congress ended its first session
on the day when the government
strikes its balances and closes it's
books.
President Roosevelt came to the
capitol about IL o'clock in anticipa-
ton of an early adjournment, and
when he found that there would be
delay in order to secure the enroll-
ment of the bills which had to be
passed he took lunch in the capitol
and in the afternoon visited the con-
gressional library.
Speaker Cannon rigidIy carried out
his intention of keeping back the adj
journment resolution until the bills
were all passed and signed, and the
hour for the end was not known until
short time before the gavels fell
with the announcement by Vice-Presi,l
dent Fairbanks in the senate, and the
speaker in the house. that the first
session of the Fifty-ninth congress
stood adjourned.
The closing scenes in the senate
were formal and without interest. In
the house there were the usual hilar-
ious performances consisting of anus
ing speeches and songs.
The work accomplished by the con-
gress that terminated today is told by
Speaker Cannon to The Associated
Press. He said: In my judgment,
the work done and the legislation
enacted in the session just closed, ex-
ceeds in Importance. for the best in.
terests of all the people of the re-
public, the work of any session during
my thirty years of public life. | have
not time to make a complete review
of all the legislation. Sufficient to
say that the legislation covering the
appropriation and authorizing OF pub
lie expenditures has been most care.
fully considered and wisely enacted.
The legislation commonly referred to
as the rate legislation, the pure food
bill, the inspection feature of the ag-
ricultural bill, are all measures that
effect the interests of all the people,
and while nothing perfect can be en-
acted, | am satisfied that the opera.
ton of these laws will demonstrates
| their wisdom. And | believe If moth
ing else had been accomplished than
the enactment of these three measures
they alone would be sufficient to make
the first session of the Fifty-ninth
congress a memorable one in the his
tory of the republic.
Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1906-07-05

An abundance of work and a fam.
inc of workmen represent condition
that is constantly growing more COM
mon in America. The greatest trouble
is the dearth of farm hands, as shown
by the report of the states free public
employment office in this city. Men
absolutely refuse to leave the cities for
the fields. But the problem is not
confined to the country. In the cities
there is work a-plenty and a dearth
of workmen. Apparently with each
succeeding year common labor grows
less attractive. Yet there is not a
notable increase in the number of
Migrants and able-bod paupers.
The riddle probably has its solution
in the fact that prosperity and thrift
have depleted the ranks of common
laborers, leading them to seek better
things in life.
