EDUCATION.
The future destiny of Louisiana
depends upon the education of
the boys and girls of today who
become the men and women of
tomorrow. If we continue the
rapid strides along educational
lines that we have been IN liking
in recent years future generations
will be better equipped for life's
battles than the present and past.
long to see the day when there
will not be an illiterate white per-
son within the confines of Louis
lana. Iconfidently expect to see
the time when Louisiana will no
longer have to bear the reproach
oe being at the foot of the long
column of States educationally.
If elected to the Senate, /
promise to do all in my power to
keep in motion the great educa-
tional awakening that is now
sweeping the State. Above every
thing else put me down as friend
of the boys and girls of our be-
loved State.
CoNFEDERATE SOLDIERS.
The question that lies nearest
the true southern heart is the care
of the worn out Confederate sol
dier. We owe him a debt of
dying love and gratitude and have
but n few years in which to pay it.
As the years 60 by, his ranks grow
thinner, his hair whittier and his
feeble frame more tottering. 1t
is fact within the knowledge of
ralmost every one that there are
in every community in the State
men who wore the grey who are
no longer able to earn living and
in many instances have no loved
ones to care for them in their de-
cIining days. Shall it be said that
Louisiana with all her riches, who
furnished a. brave soidierv as
ever faced cannon or rattle of
musketry, has. turned deaf ear
to the piteous cries of her worn
out soldiers, or let one of them
die without proper care? 1, as a
son of one who has long since
responded to the last troll call,"
would be ungrateful to his men,
ory, If | should prove recreant in
my duty to his comrades in arms.
Other Southern States, not near
so rich as Louisiana in natural re-
sources, have far surpassed her in
making appropriations for the
cause so near and dear to the
Southern heart. If elected, l
shall dn every thing in my power
to see that no Confederate soldier
in the State goes uncared for, and
that suitable monuments mark
the graves of those who fell in
defense of their homes. /, for
one, think that Louisiana has
waited long enough to show to the
outside world her appreciation of
the bravery and heroism of the
Louisiana troops who fell in the
forefront of the battle on every
field from Bull Run to Appomat-
tox.
The grandest monument that
adorns the battlefield of Chicka-
mauga, and they are many, was

States in this cause?
GAMBLING.
| am opposed to gambling in
every form from the simple game
of craps to the New York Ex-
change. The theory of it all is to
get what the other fellow has by
unfair means without giving him
anything in return therefor. The
unsuspecting victim loses what he
has, and in his mad efforts to re-
trieve his loss, stakes what does
not belong to him and loses it,
thereby becoming an embezzler
only to occupy a felon's cell or
fill Il suicides grave. We pity
the poor fool and wonder what
lcaused his fall. The answer is
plain. He, no doubt, was reared
| by honest parents and started out
with bright future before him,
but he comes in contact with these
internal devices which the State
permits to run at large, aud is
swallowed up before he realizes
his peril. 1t is the duty of the
State to remove the cause and the
evil will cease.
To my mind the "Bucket Shop"
is the worst form of gambling that
ever infested a country. The
small town has its "bucket shoo"
and the city has its exchange"
whose chief aim is to control the
price of our very wearing apparel
and food. Supply and demand
once regulated the price of farm
products, but this fundamental
principle of Political Economy
has been reIegated to the rear and
handful of stock gamblers on
Wall Street has taken its place.
The farmer is forced to sell his
products at whatever price they
fix on it, no matter what the cost
of production is. L am in favor
of such legislation as will take the
necessaries of life out of the hands
of the gambler and place it back
where it belongs. l think the
farmer should have the same pri-
yilege of putting a price on his
products as the miner and manu-
faeturer. The State should aid
him by proper legislation in his
heroic struggles to rid himself
from the grasp of these human
sharks.
IMMIGRATION.
Immigration of the right kind
at this time is one of Louisiana's
greatest needs. The State is fair
ly teeming with natural resources
waiting t. be developed by capital
and labor. We have the finest
soil and climate in the world.
Thousands and thousands of acres
of land lie idle waiting for some
one to clear and cultivateit. I'm
migration should be encouraged.
The State should send immigra-
ton agents to older States aud to
North Central Europe for the
purpose of advertising our State
and starting flow of immigration.
What we want is an immigrant
that will make a good citizen.
Our experience with people who
inhabit that portion of Europe
bordering on the Mediterranean
Sea leads us to believe that we do
not need him in our business. The
"Blsck Hand" of Italy has got to
be almost as serious a problem in
Louisiana as the "Black Face"
from Africa. His room is more
desirable than his presence. He
should not only not be inyited,
but he should be prohibited from
setting his feet on American soil.
These are my views on few
important questions. Space for
bids my celebrating further at
this time, but bfore the time for
the primary comes, l expect to
canvass the entire District and
meet the voters in person, at

EsmInIne Privilege or Tears.

The new preference for the bright
side Of Bfe is PROBABLY due-in wom-
en-, at least-to the undeniable truth
that they no longer cry as easily as
they used to do, says a writer in
Black and White. At one time a good
weep was a recognized feminine lux.
ury which, like summer shower, had
marvellous effect in clearing away
clouds. Now all but few members
of the sex seem to have lost the art
of crylng becomingly and readily, and
when they begin 1t is painful and
unsightly business. To be able to
weep without shedding tears is a real
gift. 1t is rare that masculine specta.
tors can resist the soft suspicion OF
moisture in beautiful eyes; but they
object to the deluge which reddens
the nose and Fuckers up the face. The
woman who cries because she can't
help st usually succeeds In driving a
man away; but sorrow under re-
straint, with a possible smile hidden
behind the curtain of tears. is an ir'
resIstible invitation to him to stay
and comfort.

has elements OF evil that are well
worthy of careful study. In these
years OF progress the inclination to

OPPORTUNITIES NEAR HOME.
Progressive Towns Offer Excellent
Advantages for Young Men.


Students in sociology have recent
ly expressed pessimistic views as to
chances for the success Of young men
Of country districts. There has been
no denying of the fact that the farm
affords a splendid opportunity for
those inclined towards a pastoral life,
but 1t is maintained that of recent
years conditions preclude any great
chances for the average young man
to succeed in the average business
vocation. That is that the channels
for his development are being made
more narrow year after year through
the formation of corporations and
trusts for the control OF various in.
dustries. In other words, the CEN
tralization of business Is considered
detrimental to the pursuing OF busi-
ness In mercantile lines on a small
scale.
This subject is open to wide discus
sion. Cities and towns OF the United
States are rapidly building up. The
population of the country is increas-
ing wonderfully. With this increase
in population new opportunities pre-
sent themselves for the exercise Of
intelligent endeavor. The towns. par
ticularly of the west, are embryo cit
les, and the little village of to-day
will be the large city a quarter CEN
tury hence. Almost every town af-
fords the progressive young man a
chance for business success. Oppor-
tunitles are plentiful for those who
have the foresight to discover them.
Towns are built up where are certain
natural advantages and their growth
is dependent upon the territory that
they can draw support from, or upon
some particular advantage that they
may possess favorable to manufacture
ing along certain lines. The oppor.
tunlties for young men are to some
extent guaged by the life and prog.
ress OF the towns. Heads of families
look forward to the time when their
sons may enter into business or pro
fessional life. Ties of klnship are
strong and few parents care to have
grown sons and daughters far away
from them. In this Is discovered q
reason why residents OF a rural dis
trict should take more than ordinary
interest In the home town. Tho more
important the local town the greater
are the opportunities for the young
men of the neighborhood engaging II
budness In 1t. In thousands Of citiei
and towns of the United States the
leading business men to-day are the
boys who were farmers sons a quar-
ter or a half century ago. In modes
ways they started in business in ths
home town. and with the progress o
the town developed as business men
The opportunities that were opened
to those youths are still open to th'
youths OF to-day. but remember tha
many of these men would not have
been the great business men they arr
today only for the fact the town,
where they located were progressive
places which gave the opportunity Il
succeed.
