THE PROPER BELT TO BE

license and violence. After this de-
mand shall be satisfied they will again
relapse into indifference as to their
public affairs and suffer themselves to
be ruled by kings, demagOgues and
political bosses, as the case may be.
But all the time there are plenty of
good, honest, virtuOus, peace-lOving
people, and these are the ballast, the
foundations of society, and there will
never be a time when they are lacking.
They control the world in all times of

WISE AS WELL AS PROGRESS
I'VE.

The experiment of municipal
ownership of street railways by
Monroe, within the short time
the street railroad has been in
operation. has been so Satlsfac-
tory to the people of that city,
that they are now planning for an
extension to various neighbOr-
ing towns. Monroe has already
won enviable distinction as a pro-
gressive place because of it's gen.
eral wideawakeness and rapid
growth, and we believe that the
result of this experiment in rail
way ownership will prove them
wise as we'll as progressive. We
are inclined the more to this
opinion because they have
grasped the fact that connecting
neighboring towns with trolley
service will center the trade of
that section in their town. AS
Monroe is an agricultural and
not a manufacturing town., the
retention of it's trade territory is
vital, and it's future DEVELOPMENT
depends largely upon widening
that territory.
The backbone of a town is it's
retail trade and every curtail-
ment is a serious blow. Monroe
evidently appreciates this and
proposes to reach out into the
country and cultivate it by max
ing access to the town easy and
delightful. The trolley extern
sion means much to Monroe.
Lafayette is most favorably
situated to become the center of
q trolley system and it is pos
sible for the town and parish to
build their own trolley system.
It's value to the to vn and
parish can easily be appreciated,
and a move along that line now
would be opportune.

PREDICTS AN ERA OF VIC.
LENCE.

The New Orleans Picayune
as will be noted from the follow
ing extract from an editorial in
it's issue of the 18th, sees in the
general unrest now prevailing
signs that indicate the approach
of an era of violence. That the
discomfort which exists at
present portends a decided
change in our social system, is
certain; but that it will develop
into a French revolution or Rus
sian anarchy, one may well
hesitate to believe, since it is
within the power of the people of
this country to accomplish with
the ballot whatever purposes
they may wish. The Picayune
says:
The present is the beginning of the
people, of the rise of popular domi-
nation, not through q system OF rep
resentatirs or delegated power, but of
violence in which every man will be
for himself. This was the case in the
French revolution of 1893. 1t is what
is being attempted in Russia. 1t is
what is seer in the steady drift OF
popular feeling in other countries.
There is a wild and eager demand for
individual liberty that will allow each
to work his will regardless of all
others. Ambitious men who are will
ing to steer their bark on seas of
blood in order that they may lead in
the wild revel of individualism will
c~ountenance and encourage every ex-
cess in others. Finally when the IT,
tanic shall have worn itself
out, the necessity for public order will
be recognized and strong hands will
re-establish it.
The history of all political evolution
shows that mankind prefers to be gov
erened. 1t wants to be relieved of
all responsibility for public affairs.
This condition goes on for ages, for
centuries or even for decades, accord
ing to the restless and irritable dis
position of the people. Finally.
breaking away from all restraints,

The Girl Who Makes Friends

McCalps Magazine.
The girl who makes friends where
ever she goes is delightful. She
comes into a room like a sea breeze,
fresh, laughing, nodding right and
left with happy impartiality. She is
ready for anything, and never throws
cold water on your plans. She gen.
orally sees the funny side of things,
and she has such a whole-hearted way
of describing them that you feel as if
you had seen them yourself. She
does not retail gossip, though, and
she does not know how to be spiteful,
or sarcastic, or bitter, and she
never exaggerates to produce ar inn
preston. She knows how to be
clever and funny without being un-
kind, or untruthful, or coarse. She
likes everybody, not considering it is
her duty to suspect anyone of evil UNI
til they have been proved good. She
prefers TO consider the world good and
honest until it proves itself otherwise.
She always gets along. for she has
friends everywhere. Her heart is big
enough to contain everybody, and
she never forgets her friends, or is
forgotten by them.

The subject of a searching inves-

found things radically wrong, is
shown by the following extracts
from it's report:
I'VE are profoundly shocked
that suspicion, to say the least,
more than warrants us in the ac-
cusation that some Of our most
prominent citizens have been
over-zealously engaged in a
transaction which seems tainted

ting of this body and the exami-
nation, under oath, of every citi-
zen of the parish.
Another symptom of social
unhealthiness which impresses
itself upon us is the strong
aversion of the average citizen to
render jury duty service. 1t
speaks i'll for a community when
men of strong moral stamina
seek by every device, technicality
and pretext to evade such a re-
sponsible duty, a duty which
some one must perform, and a
duty upon the proper perfor-
ance of which depends the faith
full administration of criminal
affairs. We respectfully direct
the attention of our citizens to
that fact, and beckon them to
hearken to this warning, and en-
join them to make a few personal
sacrifices for the benefit of the
public welfare"
The tendency of the average
Louisiana jury to infict light
punishment for the taking of
human life is shocking enough,
without the Introduction of cor
rupt practices into the handling
of such a case. No punishment
can be too severe for such cor
ruption as the Baton Rouge
grand jury suspects, and it is to
be hoped that that body will
bring those guilty of it to justice,
prominent they may be.
The cheapness of human life
in Louisiana is one of the great
est deterrents to its growth.
People do not like to settle in a
State where a trivial quarrel is
likely to lead to sudden death,
with the probability that a COM
PLEASANT jury will give the slayer
only trifling punishment. It is
about time that the moral sense

carrying of concealed weapons,

Such a man is ever a draw

butes nothing to it's growth. He
may be likened to a bunch If

my best to have this cooking OF
flour with both electricity and
acids abandoned for l believe it
injurious to the health, at least
the flour has not got the strength
nor neither has the consumer,
especially the laborers, the great
est bread eaters.
But we must keep abreast
with our mills and move abreast
with the masses. Try to be
numbered with the progressive
millers of the day. Now, Mr..
Editor, it looks as though l was
jealous or nearly insane to GO at
the cooking process in such a
way as | appear to. might GO
at it in blind way, and report
this to the Pure Food depart
ment; but in order to first show
the people just we're I stand l
take this way to inform the con-
sumers Of flour, that they may
investigate and see if l am right.
You may gro into many mills
and inquire if they are treating
their flour with acids or cleo
tricity and ain not certain that
they will give you a straight
answer, but if you wish to pro-
perly investigate come to me,
and | will explain to you so you
can tell it yourself. l under
stand some of the mills are tell
ing they are using electricity to
heat their wheat. This may be
true so far as it goes, but ask
what else they use it for. Ask
them it they don't treat their
flour with electricity. And ask
them why they don't brand their
flour treated with electricity"
and then go to other mills and
ask them if they are not using
acids to Written or bleach their
flour. They will very likely put
you off and not tell you. They
may possibly lie to you and deny
it. But when l get it started
you may come and see it work.
More anon. Truly yours,
