A few cases were tried yesterday
in police court, but it is a remarkable
fact that whiskey did not figure in
any of them.
No tidings came from Philadelphia
yesterday relative to the electric rail-
way deal, but no doubt the coin was
handed over
Many of the stores will close this

The condition of Mr. B. H. McMath

Two Americas men in the Philip

Travel this way continues heavy.
Every Central passenger train leav-

Citizens of Americas would re-

used here as city streets.
All of the county convicts are quar-

in his efforts to meet the arguments of Bryan. He made eighteen speeches in Iowa recently and his voice can no longer be depended upon. Is not this the very mad- ness of despair?
 If Taft W ere left to his own in- clioations he would stay at home or move about in less strenuous way, but the power behind him will not sanction that. The force of BrYan's siedge-hammer blows must be met. but how9 Taft is not Bryan's equal on the platform and he knows it. and Roosevelt knows it.
 There is no one in this whole country that has any animosity against Taft. He is all that an American citizen should be. Dem ocrats of course oppose him be- cause he-supports a platform which they know from bitter experience is against the welfare of the nation. And they feel. too, that if Taft were left to himself he would rid dle the Republican platform so full of holes that it's makers Wouldn t recognize it. But he is tied hand and foot. He has been doing all that any one eoul1 do to place his party in the best light possible by explaining and modifying and smoothing over the rough places, but what a herculaan task 1t is to make a respectable showing out of the material he is obliged to use.
 So that takings it all together Taft is placed in such a position that the most ardent Republican could hardly blame him for feeling uncomfortable and Respondent and sometimes hopeless and wishing with all his heart that the whole thing were over and leave him to contemplate how much more con- genial would be d seat on the SUI creme bench in Washington rather than trying to contend against sucf a man as Bryan Lake Charles Press.

PLENTY or WORK ON THE FARMS.

The productiveness of the Unitee States along the agricultural line is not keeping pace with the growtl of our population. says Secretar of Agriculture Wilson. Meats are dear because meat bearing animal are falling behind the population il relative numbers. Labor is scare on the farm. and labor is dear or the farm because the factory, the forest. the mine and the railroae are taking away the farmers work CTS through wages fixed at rates the farmer can not afford to pay
 The population of the Unitet States is growing both by reason oi the increase of the families domi ciled in America and by accretions through immigration from abroad. But the immigrants do not reach to the farm. The farmers who do come to us from foreign countries do not find thsir way to the farm $ of this country; and the immigra- tion laws prevent American farm CTS from going to foreign countries and selecting there the prospective immigrants whose services could aid them.
 At no reriod in our history has the American farmer needed help So much as he needs it this year. There are said to be hundreds of thousands of idle men in the United States. All of them could secure employment on the farms, employ ment Affcrding food, shsltsr ard living wages.

State ownership of railroad with all it's advantages or disad- vantages. as the case may be. is about to be tried in Texas.

It is t form a connecting link betweef the penitentiary and the Texas ane New Orleans and the International and Great Northern roads. It vii be used both for passenger ant freight traffic, but it's principal tor mage will consist of the products c. the pententiary and the supple for it. Another road is being built by the board to a sugar plantation owned by the penitentiary and con necting it with the Houston, Braz os and Northern road, so as to en- able it to handle the sugar crop t. advantage.

Pain in the head-pain anywhere, has it's cause. Pain scongestion. pain is blood pressuTe-nothing else usually. At least. so says Dr. shoop, and to prove it he has created little pink tablet. That tablet-caiied Dr. shoop's Headache Tablet coaxes blood pressure away from pain centers. Its effects charming. pleasngy delightful Gently. though safely it surely equalizes the blood ercu- lation.
 If you have headache, it's blood pressure.
 If it's painful periods with women, same cause.
 If you are sleepless restless. nervous, it's blood congestion-blood pressure. That surely is a certainty for Dr. shoop's Headache Tablets stop it in 20 minutes and the tablets simply distribute the unnatural blood pressure.
 Bruise your finger, and doesn't it get red, and swell and pain you? Of course it does. It's con- gestion blood pressure. You'll find it where pain is-always. It's simply Common Sense.

The StOru of TOnu.

Tony is little Italian boy whose
sad history Is similar to that OF
thousands in New York City. When
he drifted into the Receiving Home
Of the Children's Aid Society, he
heard, for the first time in years, oil
fathers and mothers. These char,
acters appeared SO often in the ma
irons stories; they were 80 kind,
and they loved little boys so much,
that Tony became filed with a long.
ing that he had never known-a
longing for father and mother of
his own. And every night he pray
ed that he might find parents.
Some months ago Tony's story
and picture appeared in the Define
ator. There were many who de.
sired the little boy and many of the
homes were such good ones that 1t
was naru 10 arrive at a decision.
The letter that finally turned the
balance read:
"When your letter came with
the doubt in 1t, our little boy could
not eat his dinner. He SAYS he
shall never believe God loves him
any more, because he prayed so hard
to have Tony for his brother, and
even got the playthings ready, and
almost every other boy in town has
a brother or sister.
Unless he IS given out to people
of wealth and you could still give
him to us, | feel sure our home of.
fers great advantages for, fresh air,
near to nature on every side, and a
chance to learn music, and loving
care together with other require
ments."
We are told on high authority
that the "earnest prayer Of a right.
eous map availeth much" The
prayers of two innocent children
must be measured by the same
measure, for Tony has gone where
father, mother and brother love
awaited him, and the hearts of two
children have been made happy.

To Suppress RndrChu.

In one of the shortest message
which he has yet transmitted to
Congress, President Roosevelt a
few days ago called the attention of
that body to the necessity for fur
Their legislation on the subject of
anarchy. With the message he
transmitted report reviewing the
legal phases of the question by
Attorney General Bonaparte.
The message of the President ia
as follows:
"To the Senate and House of Rep.
resentatives:
~ herewith submit q letter from
the Department of Justice, which
explains itself. Under this opinion,
held that existing statutes give
the President the power to prohibit
the Postmaster General from being
used as an instrument in the COM
mission Of crime; that is, TO pro-
hiblt the use of the mails for the
advocacy of murder, arson and
treason, and l shall act upon such
construction.
Unquestionably, however, there
should be further legislation by
Congress in this matter. When
compared with the suppression of
anarchy, every other question sinks
into insigniticaoce. The anarchist is
the enemy of humanity, the enemy
of all mankind, and his is a deeper
degree of crim,nality than any other.
No immigrant is allowed TO come
to our shores if be is an anarchist,
and no paper published here or
abroad should be permitted circula.

anarchistic opinions.

In speaking of tue action of the
Democratic State Committee In en-
dorsing the candidacy of w. J.
Bryan for President, John J. Corn.
we'll in his paper-Tbe Hampshire
Review-says:
"The action of the State Com
mittee in endorsing, officially, the
candidacy of w. J. Bryan, for
President, At Parkersburg was i'll.
advised and, in our humble judg.
ment. a grave political mistake. If
Mr.. Bryan has had q more loyal
supporter in this State than the
writer, or a warmer admirer, we
cannot now name him. Months
ago we declared, in these columns,
that We favored his domination and
advised against any effort to obtain
delegates from this State hostile to
him, because we believed him the
most available candidate. We ad-
NIT that since that time his availa-
bility has been greatly lessened by
the action of the Populists and
Hearst's Independence League,
which means that the progressive or
radical vote of the country will be
divided between three candidates,
which will certainly lessen Bryan's
chances for election.
|" n
1t has ever been a serious handi.
cap to Mr.. Bryan IN his past cam
paigns that In the forefront OF his
professions have appeared TOO con-
splcuouslv two classes of leaders,
the socialistic. unreasonlng enthu.
siast and the demagogue and poll
teal time server who will endorse
anything and everything to be in
control and in popular favor. In
both OF these the sane and patriotic
people of the country stand in awe
and if this campaign is to be by
and for these two elements the re.
suit can be easily toretold."
In another article Mr.. Cornwell
says:
"The nomination Of Tom Wat.
son, of Georgia, for President, by
the National Populist convention,
will mean the loss of many votes to
Mr.. Bryan throughout the western
states. That is lamentable fact to
Democrats who have entertained
high hopes OF Bryan's election, but
fact it will prove itself to be,
although 1T may not cost him any
states or electoral votes. Watson
is very brilliant man, a stirring
speaker and it is more than likely
that he will make Bryan the special
object of his attack, rather than the
Republican candidate. Just as Mr..
Bryan charges President Roosevelt
with appropriatlng his policies, so
Watson and the Populists denounce
Bryan for utilizing theirs and 1t
must be confessed that their nation
al platform does not vary much
from the personal platform, on
several occasions enunciated by
Bryan"

President is quoted as saying in this
connection: "If William Taft 10
