The Times-Democrat in an edi-
torial has the following to say of
Governor Sanders and his adj
dress:
"The address is thoroughly char
acteriStic of the man, bold and out
spoken, and shows that he has risen to
a full appreciation of the obligations
of the high Office to which he has been
called. There is not the slightest trace
of trimming or time serving about it.
Gov. Sanders is a man of strong
determination and decided opinions,
and these opinions he reiterates in
even stronger language than he used
when a candidate before the people.
While we do not agree with him on all
points, we realize the honesty of his
purpose and the strength of the argu-
ments he presents in favor of the policy
he advocates and the spirit of patriot
ism and determination he displays to
do all in his power for the oetterment.
Industrial, political and moral. of
Louisiana and its people.
ut is, of course, impossible to go
fully into all the questions he presents
and all the recommendations he makes.
The address is full of good points,
we'll made and forcibly presented, al
though the Governor, realizing how
impossible it is to cover all public
matters in speech of this kind, leaves
over number of matters to be discuss
ed in his message"
"Gov. Sanders longest and strong
est recommendation is in regard to the
liquor question. which he goes into
thoroughly and with that courage that
characterizes him. We discuss his re-
commentator on this point elsewhere.
On the other moral questions to come
before the Legislature his is equally
pronounced and emphatic. He de-
clares against miscegenation in lang
uage SO clear and strong that no doubt
can longer be entertained of legislative
action therein: while his race track
utterances. urging upon the General
Assembly 1.-THE enactment of legislation
prohibiting and penalizing gambling
on horse racing" are all that could be
desired: it sounds the doom of this
mostdemoralizing and pernicious form
of gambling. He is equally pronounce
ed against the political abuse of dual
Officeholding: against the secret or ex-
ecut've meeting Of public boards, and
against the lobby, which has hitherto
ruled at Baton Rouge"

Tonnbs Of the Patriarchs.

No spot In oil Palestine is SO jealous
" guarded as the haram or sacred
area built above the cave where, ac-
cording to tradition, lie buried the
bodies Of Abraham and Sarah, Isaac
and Rebecca, Jacob and Leah This
haram is inclosed within a double
wall, an outer one Of Arab workman
ship, dating from the fourteenth cen
fury, and an inner very massive one
with many buttresses, which compe-
tent authorities ascribe to the days Of
the Herods. No Christian or Jew is,
except by very special permission, al
lowed within these walls. The most
the 'sunbelievers" may ordinarily do is
to ascend from the street to the sew
enth step on one Of the staircases be-
tween the walls. At spot near the
stair is stone with hole in it, down
which, 1t is said, long Bedouin lance
can be thrust its whole length without
reaching any obstruction. This, the
Jews believe, reaches to the sacred
cave ITSELF, and in it's neighborhood
they assemble every Friday to mourn
and pray, as they do before the wall
Of that other haram-the temple area

The Bottle at Ship Launches.

customary to name and baptize ship
after she was launched, sometimes a
week or two after. The old Tudor
method used for men-of-war was still
in use. Pepys' "Diary" shows that

he drank, naming the ship, and poured
a ibation on the quarter deck. The
cup was then generally given to the
doclxyard master shipwright as a me-
mento. When did the present usage
Of naming and baptizing ship before
she is sent afoat come in? I trace the
last explicit mention Of the old method
to 1864, when the Royal Katherine was
launched (see Pepys). The first men,
