WHAT SHALL | TEACH MY
CHILD?

Teach him that it is better to die than
to lie that it is better to be scavenger
or woodchopper than an idler and dead
beat: that it is just as criminal and rep
rehensible to waste Monday as to desc
crate Sunday; that labor is the price CT
all possessions; that no one is exempt
from the obligation to labor with head
hands and heart; that "an honest man
is the noblest. work of God"; that
knowledge is power; that labor is wor-
ship and idleness sin; that it is better to
eat the crust of Independent poverty
than to luxuriate amid the richest viands
as a dependent Teach him these facts
till they are woven into his being and
regulate his life, and we will insure his
success, though the heavens fall.

REPUBLICAN NEWSPAPER.

A number of Republicans, including
H. c. Warmoth, propose to start a Re-
publican newspaper in New Orleans. 1t
will cost money and it will take money
but the Republicans have barrels OF
money from which they can draw to
meet all emergencies. Perhaps the Re
publicans should make arrangement with
some newspapers which are evasive, as
it is said, on the fence, newspapers
which only give the news. A Republi-
can newspaper in New Orleans preach
ing boldly the doctrines of the great
party would be somewhat an innovation
but there would be more respect fol
such an organ than for the trimmer and
the non-coinmittal operated in the name
of Democracy.

IDAHO JUSTICE DID NOT MIS-.

Minden Democrat: Justice did not
miscarry in the Idaho court which set
Haywood free. In this respect the jury
in the Northern State compares more
than favorably with the weak-kneed
Louisiana jury that failed to have the
Italian Black Hand bandits hanged after
their burial murder of helpless victim
recently near New Orleans.
i The Democrat is glad that Haywood
is free. Not because of his pure charac-
ter or innocent actions, but because IN a
war between capital and labor, in which
capital first waved the red flag OF an

New Orleans Item: Starving herself
slowly but surely, Mrs. Regolio Gebbia
who is in the parish prison with he,

Lamana murder, is reduced in weight
about fifty pounds since she was first in

announced to representative of the
Item this morning for the first time tina,
the woman had not eaten three good
meals since she has been in prison
Mrs. Gebbia at first refused everything
but ice water, but since yesterday morn
ing not drop of water even had passed
her lips. and Mrs. O'Connor, the kind
matron of the parish prison. is very ap-
prehensive lest the woman ,starves her
self to DEATH The woman claims that
she is sickly and can not eat, but Mrs.
IO'Connor is of the belief that she does
not want to eat.
The last morsel of substantial food
that Mrs Gebbia ate was Monday morn
ing. when she ate halt OF a potato, but
her stomach was in such a weak condi-
ton that it could not retain it.
When she was first placed in the
woman's department Of the parish prison
she was a rosy-cheeked, healthy woman,
and the contrast now is frightful Her
cheeks are sunken. Her face is of a
gl1ostly pallor; her voice is weak and she
speaks with difficulty. She was so weak
this morning that it was only with diff
fculty that she was able to get out OF
her bed
Captain Richard Meredith and Mrs.

they should do in the matter.

WHAT SHALL BE DONE WlTkf
THE CRIMINALS?

When 0he Caucasian urged Chat
greater consideration SHOULD be exer-
cised, in humanitarian splrh, towards
the unfortunates who are called 10 The
bar of justice, and especially in the City
| Court, to answer io4 trivial offenses and
misdemeanors, the Seply came: What
shall we do with the criminal classes
Shall we keep them in jail and feed and
fatten them: Criminals have no fear OF
the Jail. and the Good Roads camp is
the place for them
In a sense this is true, but there are
criminals and criminals, and therefore
| the court should exercise its wlsest dis
cretion All men or individuals charged
with misdelneanors should not look
alike to the dispenser of law and justice.
1t will be conceded that Jail sentence
would have no effect Oh the criminal. the
one who would rather be III jail and fat
tened III idleness than to work on the
public roads, but, by the same token, ii
may be said that the Good Roads camp
| is not the place for such umfOrtunates as
Jackson and others held for trivial of
lenses and compelled to work on the
public roads.
In our opinion it is cruelty to expect
an inebriete or debauchee to work or
the public roads, His physical condition
will rot warrant such hardships. In all
State prisons the convicted are assigned
to classes in keeping with their physical
ability to work A weakly constituted
individual, one not Injured to hardship
one whose days have been spent indoors
would not be assigned to the wheeling
squad working OH levees. In spirit Of
humanity each individual should be ex-
pected to do the work which he is physi-
cally able to do. How many men not
accustomed to the severity of the heat
Of summer could stand the strain of the
hot and burning sun without collapse
1t may be answered that such men are
permitted to rest in the shade of trees
but, after all, discretion is the one essen
tail which must be the guide in consider
ing the physical ability of one convicted
for a minor offense, before being as
tsigned to work on the public road as
we'll as the sentence inflicted for the
minor offense.

priced highly on account of breed.

Water Main Tests Completed.

City Engineer Lyon has about
completed his tests of the new water
mains and it Is likely that before the
weeks end he will recommend that
the bond trustees accept the work of
the contractors.
Several times the mains have been
subjected to the loo pound pressure
test, and it is thought that the pipes
will now all stand that pressure.
About seven pipes have given way
to this or a lesser test, but all these
have been replaced.
Mr.. Lyon states that there will
never be the necessity for such an
unusual pressure. That it is made
now simply to be able to know that
there will be no break under the or
binary pressure, which, even in case
of fire will rarely go to more than 50
pounds.
