However harmful the results may be
from buying physically tainted bar
gains. those that are morally tainted
ultimately cost more to the communi-
ty. if not Immediately to the individ-
ual. The consequences are much
farther reaching and more difficult to
overcome. Would one buy stolen
goods knowingly, However cheap
they might be? Some would refrain,
no doubt, for fear of the legal pen
atty involved, but the consciences OF
the majority of people would rebel
from the idea of thus encouraging rob-
berry. Yet how many would refrain
from buying goods that are cheap be-
cause part of the time or wages or
health of helpless working girls has
been practically stolen in order to sell
he articles at a low figure? Most
peoples consciences are rather elastic
in regard to buying Struggled goods
or even to personal smuggling. Many
who would scorn to swindle an indf-
yidual boast of their ability to swim
die a large group Of individuals repre-
senting the national government.
Usually the people who enjoy heat
ing the government out of its dues are
first to rush to it's representatives for
protection.
IT NAV be pertinent to ask those
who consider smuggled- goods bar
gains" whether they take into cons1d-
srat;on the fact that they may be
called upon to pay extra taxes for the
building of warehouses;, reformatories
and penitentiaries should factories

TO help build up the business OF un-
srrunulous merchants they actually
helm wreck the business of their high
rrincinled competitors and thus lower
all business standards; whether tney
annreciate that they must contribute
toward defrayipg the cost OF extra
detective service for the customs OF
fce made Imperative by smugglers'
In short. can they call any goods
-.hareains" when the cost is official
bribery and corruption, a cost SO great
that it cannot be measured in dollars
and cents?
The output OF any industry carried
on under conditions that make FOL
degradation and misery and under
mine physical health or moral charac'
ter are costly to the community, how
ever cheap the product may be when
put upon the market. Sound physical
health. morality, energy. a high stand

artistic taste, are what enrich and en-
noble q community. Industry alone
cannot do it, else would some Of oul
mining towns or stone-quarryfng vii

There is never a supply OF anything
until there is a demand. The consum-
ers. who make the demand for articles,
actually create the supply. Every one
who purchases a garment that has
been made in a sweatshop is helping
to swell the output of such goods. The
sweatshop system of work is most
degrading and has dragged the gar
nominating industry down to a shock
ingly low level. When the consumer
insists upon maintaining the right to
know how the articles purchased are
made. then the merchant will be forced
to demand of the manufactures a guar
anty of his responsibility.
Even a cheap Bible may be q
"tainted bargain" If the book Is sole
cheap because the workers have not
been paid a fair wage for the printing
and binding. There is a standard o.
morality for spending money just a.
there is one for earning money.

ARCADIA'S CIVIC WORK.

Shreveports neighbor and rival i'll
civic work, Arcadia. has opened beauti-
full park grounds in the heart of the
town. and free reading room This.
of course. is the work of the patriotic
women of Arcadia They love their
town and want to make it beautiful and
a good place to live in. where the heart
is uplfted by wholesome and beautiful
influences
he opening Of the free reading room
is due largely to the young ladies of the
town. with Miss Rookh Atkins at the
head of the movement. A reading room
is place Of quiet and rest, where noise
and games should not disturb the reader.
1t is not club, but strictly a reading
room: and we hope the young ladies of
Arcadia who have accomplished so much
for their town will not allow their read
ing room to merge into club room. as
has been the case in other towns
For many years Shreveport boosted
of a free reading room, established and
maintained by the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union. Its influence was
most wholesome With the establishing
Of mems clubs. the interest in the free
reading room unfortunately began to de
cline until its doors were closed. The
influence Of club life is not always
wholesome. and it sometimes detracts
from the home life-anything that does
that. taking young men from their home

waiting. is to be deprecated Cluo life

DEATH THE LENELLER.

The glories of our blood and state
Are shadows. not substantial things:
| here IS no armor against fate:
Death lays his hand on kings.
Scepter and crown
Must tumble down.
And in the dust be equal made
With the poor crooked scythe and spade
Some men with swords may reap tn,
field,
And plant fresh laurels where they kill
But their strong nerves at last must
yield;
They tame but one another still
Early or late.
They stoop to fate.
And must give up their murmuring
When they. pale captives. creep to death.
The garlands wither on your brow:
hen boast no more your mighty deeds ;
Upon deaths purple altar now
See where the victor-victm bIeeds:
Your heads must come
TO the cold tomb:
Only the actions of the Just
Smell sweet and blossom in their dust
