high dudgeoD because an invalid
who stole suit of clothes was
released. from Jail and given a
ticket to his home in Michigan.
Physicians stated that the man
could live but a few days. AS
matter of humanity he was sent
to die, that his last moments might
be spent with his family.
The tendency of the present day
is to make punishment for crime
not simply retributive or retalia-
tive, but reformatory, and where
depravity is not SO dcep-seated as
TO make reformation improbable,
good results have followed. In
this case, God will soon judge the
man for whatever crimes he may
have committed.

The st. .4ammany FARMER and the
Covington News have actually gotten
into the same band wagon. Both are
supporting Gov. Sanders. We wonder
how they feel, aud whether or not they
will be able to harmoniously peep thru
the same field glass until the battle Is
over Washington Leader.
Nearly four years ago the FAMERR
came out FIR Jared Y. Sanders for
our next Governor. We regret that
existing conditions have clouded
Brother Brooks usual clearnes OF
perception. Il is not only our
band wagon, but is owned by the
larger part Of the people OF the
State. We also expected TO see
Brother Brock riding 10 it. While
We are surprised that the News
should have shown such good judg-
ment, we certainly shall offer nc
obstacles to the only right move
ment we have known it to make.
By the way, we trust Brother
Brock is not turning Republican
We notice that he has adopted the
Roosevelt spelling.

Slidell's View OF 1t.

STidell. La, July 2, 1907.
Editor st. Tammany FARMER.
Dear Sir: Having read in the
latest Issue of the Covlugton News,
an article originally published in
the Washington Leader.
Responding, as far as Slldell and
myself are concerned, will say:
Is not Mr.. Self aware that bis own
parish has more fostering sores than
Slideil, if he means the sale of
liquor and attending results. Of
course, progressive people are, as
q general rule, not sensual, and
therefore cannot detect anything
covered by sleeps skin.
| would like to ask Mr.. Self how
much whisky and beer is shipped
and sold at Bogalusa, Richardson
Annex and vicinity, and who are
the ones allowing the sale of the
'sinfernal stuff?' But even the
sale of liquor pales into 1nsignIG.
canoe against the immoral IN
dulgences practIced there with
people of means 10 back 1t.
Is there no: field TO improve
morals?
Now Mr.. Self must be aware
that | am not a whisky dealer; TO
the contrary, ] would ike to see
the liquor wiped out of existence;
but l have this much to say:
what effect would high license have
in general? would it bring peace
10 the minds of the progressive?
Would it reduce other taxation?
Could Washington Parish do
without jail? Do the statistics
of Mississippi show that crime ls
on the decrease since prohibition
reigns supreme there?
What would the progressive
people say if the sensual people
would force a law upon them to
indulge in the liquor habit?
for one is virtue for another.
We live in free country, and
such 1t ought to be forever.
Don't MIR. Self know that what
is food for one is poison to anotL err?
If MIR. Self likes to eat cabbage,
he has no right to force the habit
On bis neighbors who detest the
smell of 1t.
The whole thing in nutshell is,
don't worry about Slidell, because
Slidell ii able to take care Of it,
self.
The way we see it in Slldell.

Essay ON Pants.

Pants are made for men and not
for women. Women are made
for man and not for pants. When
a man pants for a woman and q
woman pants for man, they are
a pair OF pants. Such pants don't
last. Pants are like molasses.
They are thinner In hot weather
and thicker in cold, Men are
often mistaken IN pants; such
mistakes are breeches OF promise.
There has been much discussion
whether pants is singular 0. plural.
Seems to me when men wear pants
1T is plural and when thep don'tlt1s
singular. Men go on a tear in
their pants and 1t IS all right,
when the pants go on tear it is
all wrong. II you want to make
pant last, made the coat frst.-Ex.

THE DOCTOR AWAY FROM HOME WHEN MOST
- MEEnEH

People are very often much disap-
pointed to find that their family physi-
clan is away from home when they most
need his services, Diseases like cramp
collie and cholera morbus require prompt
treatment, and have in many instances
proven fatal before medicine could be
procured or a physician summoned.
The right way is to keep at hand bot
tie of Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhea Remedy. No physician can
prescribe better medicine for these
diseases. By having it in the house
you escape much pain and suffering
and all risk. Buy it now; it may save
life,
