SATURDAY, SEPT. %, 1906:
THE PARISH FAIR.

Monday of this week Mr.. A. A.
Morrow of.nis Parish was here
and he displayed a good deal of
hjs energy and his enterprise in
talking and booming the Parish
Fair which is to take place at
Breaux Bridge on October l1th to
18th.
Mr.. Morrow is the President of
the Parish Fair Association, and
we are pleased to say he is the
right man for this important posi-
ton. Mr.. Morrow is good orator,
an interesting entertainer and
forceful speaker; he is a man who
does not know what failure means
success is his aim and he never
stops until that is attained, with
such men as A. A. Morrow and
Vic. j. Jeager as the moving spir-
its and other gentlemen composing
the different committees, We can
safely predict that the Parish Fair
will be a complete success.
Parish Fairs are recognized by
the State as an absolute necessity
in order to emulate the farmers of
the several parishes to discuss new,
improved and scientific methods
of cultivation; and it is only by
showing what some Of the farmers
have done that others will realize
that they are not following the de-
velopment of progressive methods.
When some of our slow farmers
will see by actual results that
some of their neighbors raise more
corn to the acre, and better corn,
raise more cane to the acre, raise
more and better cotton, has nue.
and better hogs, poultry ETC., will
they understand that a change in
their system of working the farm
is necessary, and the display of
the products of the farmers of this
parish put an exhibition will have
that result, rs many of our pro-
gressive farmers will be surprised
to see what some of the farmers of
this parish have already done in
developing the refources of the pa
IRISH.
This parish needs more develop
ment and the parish fairs are the
things that will bring the planters
together and have them discuss
means aud matters that interest

Money nad.

At the last annual commence
ment of Cornell University, Presi-
dent Jacob Gould Schurman deli
vered a notable address on inte-
gritty, in the course of which he
said:
"A waning Christianity and u
waxing Msmmonism are the twin
specters of our age. They are an-
cresence in any pro-organized COM
munity, and in a democratic repu-
bile, in which every man has a
vote, be assured that the rights
which convention grants to pro-
perty will be swept away if the
propertied classes become idle,
luxurious, selfish, hsrdhearted and
Indifferent to the struggles and
tolls of less fortunate feDew-citi-
zens. The vice of the age is that
men want wealth without under
going that toll by which alone
wealth is created. Among the rich
and well-to-do business and pro-
fessional classes grating has been
so common that the very idea of
commercislism has become a by
word and a reprosch. Financiers,
capitalists, corporations may be
the most conspicuous sinners, but
equally guilty is the merchant who
cheats his customers, or the lawy-
or who shows his client how to cir
cumvent the laws, or the scholor
who glori6es his patrons success
in business irrespective of the
methods by which that success
was achieved, or the preacher who
transfigurts the ruthless oppres-
sor and robber of six days into the
exemplary Christian of the seventh.
We are dealing with the virus
of a universal iufiiction. The
whole nation needs u new baptism
of the old virtue of honesty. The
love of money aud the reckless
pursuit of it are undermining the
rational character.
President Schurman has put
bis finger on the sore spot and ut
tered a timely warning.
1.-THE whole nation needs new
baptism of the old virtue of hon
esty." To secure this, however,
we will have to 20 back
to orr old ideal of religious edu-
cation. The children of the coun-
try must be brought up and train
ed according to higher standard
of morality than that based upon
materialism and utilitarianism
pure and simple. They must he
taught that there is higher, a no
bier end in life than mere Man,
monism; a greater good than the
mere acquisition of great. wealth
without much regard to the means
employed.

THE CRUELTY OF 1T.

Canon Rownsley, ON Saint Martins
after describing good Saint Martin,
added:
Some of you, my friends. followers
nay, come to the Supper OF our Lord,
wearing egret plumes or 'ospreys' in
your hats and bonnets. Do you realize
that this 'egret' plume grows on the
birds back only at the time of nesting,
involves the cruel death not only OF
the beautiful white mother heron, but
tledged offspring" What price to pay
for the pleasure of an egret plume.
What Il trasesty OF religion to be able
to come into church decked with an
egret feather and sing in the words
of the Benedicite: % all ye fowls of
the air, bless We the Lord. praise Him
and magnify Him forever What a
mockery to kneel at Holy Communion,
take The soldiers oath Of allegiance UNI
To the Lord--that gentle Lord of all
compassion and mercy, that Lord who
said Consider the fowls of the air!
who told us that not u sparrow falls
to the earth unregarded by their Heav-
emily Father!"

is one Of the Brown lieutenants, OF his
own accord has put on the ticket the names
Of Ave candidates for senator for preferen-
tial vote. BY making 1t Brown against

Browns vote will show up big against any

is so arranged that Browns name comes
first, followed by Crounse Currie, Willard

the York county convention is not to be
held until July T. giving a week in which
to make medicine before final action.
The Fourth district republican congress
sional convention has been called for July

the interests Of Brown, who figures himself
strongest in the South Platte district and
hopes thus to force the Fourth district
counties to hold their conventions early to
give him the advantage of early support
as lever upon counties in other districts
where he is admittedly weak. The only
other county in the Fourth district whose
convention has already been called is
Butler county for July H. but the rest VIII
