If there was ever a fake on earth
it is the forest policy of the admin
stration.-Pilot
Let's see about this big fake. Mr.
Love has his application in for his
homestead. Nobody on earth can get
the piece of land he has applied for
away from him. There is no school
in the district in which he has select
ed homestead, but under the act
permitting homestsads in a reserve
he, with his family, is allowed to
leave his homestead during a full
school term in order to send his
children to school. Mrs. Love and
children came to Steamboat. Mr.
Love found lucrative employment in
the Ferris-Ha ggarty mine. The Lord
knows that Mr.. Love or anyone else
could not make a living off a raw,
unjmproved 160-acrc tract in Hog
park in the winter time under pres
ent conditions.
1t therefore occurs to us that at
least some of the regulations for re-
serve homesteads are just what set
tiers have been clamoring for for
years. Homesteaders in isolated sec
tions have always been confronted
with the proposition of not daring to
leave their places to send their chill
their homesteads in not complying
with department regulations.
But some people would kick If
they were playing football.-Routt

This is the fundamental right of man
the right to earn a living by labor,
saws Edwin Markham in a symposium.
"If 1 Were a National Santa Claus
in the December Delineator.
We say to the hungry man, go tc
work, thou sluggard!' This is sound
advice; but what if q man has no
work and can find none? Thousands
of men are living in enforced ioleness.
l myself tramped the streets OF San
Francisco looking for work.
We have. allowed u lands and
other to be monopolized by
a few; we have allowed the stalwarts
to scoop in opportunities that once
were free for all. Gone are many OF
the chances that men once had on the
free frontiers. Society having de.
stroyed these chances society is bound
in justice to provide work for the
voorhees,, bread-labor for the hungry.
1t is duty of society-yes, the safety OF
society-to see to it that a man has
work. And until the state provides
this work, penalties for begging and
stealing might we'll be abolished; beg
ging might be looked on as business,
and thieving as commendable thrift.
What, then, would be my Christmas
gift to the nation? 1t would be a sys-
tenn organized by the state to provide
work at living wages for all voorhees,
men and women. This should be done
by the state, not as a charity, but as a
bounden duty. and men should a
cept it. not as q favor, but as a primal
right.
This would be my Christmas gift.
How best could the state make il
ready? What would be the ways and
means? All, that is another story

COOKERY.

Horseless carriages. wireless telegra.:
phy, and now lardless cookery! Lard
has, from time immemorial, held sway
in the kitchen, but it has fatal OBJ
jection-it is indigestible. Nine-tenths
Of the Indigestion with which the Amer
lean nation is afflicted is due to the use
of pork and its by-product-lard.
Recognizing this, The N. K. Fair
bank Company, Chicago, have placed on
the market a vegetable oil cooking fat,
Cottolene, which can be used in every
way that lard or butter can, and which
makes delicious, digestible and nourish-
ing food. 1t is recommended by physi-
clans, even % invalids, and it is cheaper
than lard. one-third less being required.

THE SHATTUCk LAW.

The application of the recent
law adopted by the General As
sembly of the State for the regu'
lation of the sale of liquor is just
now exciting much discussion
and eliciting expressions as tC
the meaning and intent of sew
eral provisions. The law is very
drastic and was so intended by
it's author and the strong anti
saloon sentiment that gave ii
birth and secured its enactment.
No discretion is left to City
Councils and Police Juries and
most stringent regulations are
provided against gambling and
other abuses usually attendant
upon the saloon business.
The question of 800 feet dis
lance from any church or school
is stirring the city of New Or
leans from center to circumfer.
ence. as some of the best known
and most fashionable bars are
within the plain prohibition of
the statute.
Attorney General Guion has
given his opinion on the law and
the disputed points and we pub
lish the full text in this issue.
This opinion comedies with that
given by City Attorney Kennedy
q few days ago and there ap-
pears hardly room for a reason
able doubt that the law applies to
all saloons opening for business

they are new or old. This is as
clearly stated as language can
make it and it is quite certain
Mr.. Guion's opinion will DO up.
held by the courts when the
test comes. AS to the ridiculous
conten ton that 800 feet must be
measured by the street front
and around corners. as well ar
que that measurements must be
made by way of China. The law
says plainly that no saloon shall
be permitted to do business
within 300 feet of any church or
school and the language can't be
distorted into any absurd con.
struction to suit special cases
anywhere. The law was intend
ed to eliminate many of the more
repulsive features of the retail
liquor business and should be
upheld by all interested in
morality and public decency.
The city authorities have already
declared their purpose to en-
force the law to the letter and
there is no reason to doubt the
stand that will be taken by the
parochial officers. The law if
properly executed in conform
ity with the opinion of Mr..
Guion will mark a great stride
forward in dealing with the
liquor traffic, everywhere recog-
nized as an evil most difficult to
suppress or regulate.

FREE POSTAL DELIVERY
The question of establishing
free postal delivery in Lafayette
has again come to the front and
The Lafayette advertiser. [volume] (Vermilionville [i.e. Lafayette], La.) 1865-19??, 1908-11-24

discussion of the subject in the
business community indicates a
constantly growing demand for
the facilities to which the city is
clearly entitled under depart
ment regulations. According
to Postmaster Domengeaux the
town has been entitled to free
delivery for six months as shown
by the volume of business trans.
lated in the local Office. Some
time ago the matter was officially
reported to the City Council and
this body took steps to comply
with the requirements necessary
to inaugurate the system, but so
far as known. no definite results
were ever realized. About the
only essential things required
are the naming of streets and
numbering of houses in order
that the government may in.
telllgently proceed in fixing
routes and delivering mail matter
with accuracy and dispatch.
The city is expected to take
these preliminary measures and
until these steps are taken the
postal authorities will not con.
slider any proposition for estab-
lishment of the system.
The urgent necessity and
great Importance of free de.
livery to the business interest is
conceded by all and even the
general public experiences much
annoyance and delay at times
under the present crowded con.
dition of affairs at the postoffce.
The constant thy increasing volume
of matter handled and business
transacted make it utterly i'm.
possible for the postmaster and
his assistants to serve the pub
lie as they would like. Not only
is the utmost accuracy .exacted
in the delivery of mail but a
most careful system of account.
ing must be kept of every item
of business, whether money or
ders, stamps, registered letters
or packages.
The only solution of this pres
sing need of the business COM
munity. and relief for this con-.
gested state in the postoffce
management, lies in the estab-
lishment of a free postal de-
livery and the City Fathers may,
by the expenditure of a com.
paratively small sum in the pre-
llminaries, confer a most sub
stantial blessing upon the entire
community.
Tits true there are many matters
that claim the consideration of
a depleted treasury but then it
is certain the vast majority of
citizens would heartily approve
of any sacrifice necessary for
this new institution, which will
not only prove of incalculable
benefit for all future time, but
afford excellent employment to
several young men of the town.
lafayette has the population, the
businesses and the enterprise. and
shall the expenditure of q few
paltry dollars deter in a propo-
sition that means SO much for

1t probably never enters the minds

guest at the st. Denis hotel, gives
good instance CT this, says the New

found dead in my room just now"
baid he, in one of my pockets would
be discovered the photograph of a
Eery pretty actress and in my valise a

FACTS ABOUT BOOK OF JOB.
Great Epic Probably Not the Work Of
One Man.

The creation of the tribal epic was
to some extent regarded as tribal
work, like the building of the tribal
temple. Believe, then, if you will,
that the prologue OF Job and the ep-
ilogue and the speech of Elihu are
things inserted after the original
work was composed. But do not sup
pose that such insertions have that
obvious and spurious character which
would belong to any insertions in \
modern individualistic book. Do not
regard the insertions as you would re-
gard chapter in George Meredith
which you afterwards found had not
been written by George Meredith, or
half a scene in lbsen which you found
had been cunningly sneaked in by Mr..
William Archer. Remember that this
old world which made these old
poems like the Had and job always
kept the tradition of what 1t was
making. A man could almost leave
poem to his son to be finished as he
would have finished it, just as man
could leave field to his son to be
reaped as he would have reaped it.
What Is called Homeric unity may be
p fact or not. The Iliad may have
been written by one man. 1t may
have been written by hundred men.
But let us remember that there was
more unity in those times in hun
dred men than there is unity now in
one man. Then city was like one
man. Now one man is like a city in
civil war-G. X. Chesterton in Put
mans.
