WHAT THE PAPERS ARE SAYING.

st. Mary Banner: Sick persons in Lou
isiana will be allowed the privilege of hav-
ing their prescriptions refilled at drug
stores. This was one of the first announce
ments made by DR.. D. Harvey Dillon, the
new President of the State Board of Health,
when he assumed office, and it will be
welcomed all over Louisiana. The further
announcement that the operation of the
State pure food and drug code as whole
will be suspended was made by DR.. Dillon,
and this will also be welcome announce
ment to the people of the State.
New Orleans States: There are always
those who delight in change and sort of
continuous performance in legislative af-
fairs. Scarcely has the ink had time to
dry upon one Constitution before there are
found those who clamor for another con-
vention; and the tendency to burden the
statutes with laws to fit merely ephemeral
conditions is marked. The Constitution of
the United States, containing few broad
principles and a few amendments, has
'sSo' ~
day-barring one or two of the most
recent amendments-iti is regarded as one
of the greatest instruments that has ever
emanated from human intellect. Our State
Constitution is barely ten years old, it was
the product of the best thought of an as
semblage composed of a number of the
wisest and most patriotic men the State
has ever produced, and yet there are those
who clamor for another Constitution. Such
demands are simply the expressions Of a
morbid, unrest and instability among many
which needs to be curbed rather than en-
couraged. We see laws enacted at one
session only to be repealed at the next,
constitutional provisions adopted after
mature thought and wide discussion at one
time only to be modified, added to or wiped
out altogether when notion strikes some
one that a change out to be had The
tendency is constantly to the direction of
change.

MONEY-GETTING.

The world is given to much cantlng with
resnect to the matter of wealth. The zeal
with which in small or great enterprises we
all pursue the elusive dollar seems to neg
alive the theory that it is an evil thing TO
possess. The boundary where fortune
getting ceases to become vice has always
been very indistinct. While the morallsts
are insisting that every one should earn
competence so as not to become charge
upon the public, but be assured OF comfort
in old age. not one of them has had the
temerity to name the confines beyond
which boarded money becomes sin. The
maxims Of thrift are numerous and con-
vincing as the anathemas against wealth.
The oracles are confusing. Nothing IS
more earnestly taught than the value OF
the saving habit, but if one saves too
much he is in danger of becoming the
subject of envy and railing.
In nothing is the perversity of human
nature more apparent than in the assault
upon the rich man because he is rich, while
all the assailant5 are striving desperately
to reach the rich mans estate. There may
be somewhere along the rugged road to
wealth place where accumulation should
cease in the moral point of view, but no
intelligence has been able to locate the
place. We may have firm opinions con-
corning the proper amount of wealth for
other people, but in dealing with ourselves
we have no hard and fast rule.
The gaining of a competence is duty.
Upon this point there is agreement. 1t
should be the aim Of every one to improve
ais fortunes. The limit of accumulation is
> matter respecting which no man is COM
,etent to speak. The disposition OF the
urplus not needed far a rational existence
"a matter of conscience. It is easy to
lake our rich neighbours will or admins
or his estate. Tainted money, somehow
and somewhere" to adopt the Carlyean
phrase, will trouble its possessor. Here,
90, there is agreements among moral men.
he disposition of soiled fortunes during
ne lifetime or after the death of their
.,ossessors is a debatable question. The
..unds cannot be returned to those from
whom they have been purloined. What
shall be done with such fortunes? Even
wealth honestly acquired is often abused.
Wherefore do We spend your money for
that which is not bread, and your labor for
that which satsfieth not?''

Taft has been elected President by 800

Missouri goes for Taft. Maryland and
West Virginia were carried by Taft. Taft's

2O3, 495, more than $4,000 in excess of
Roosevelt's plurality four years ago. The
Republicans have elected 2O8 Congressman

Plutarch: There are many and various
events in the life of man that do not allow
him to pride himself on present prosperity,
nor to be fascinated by that happiness
which is SO subject to change: for futurity
carries in its hidden bosom many vicissi-
tudes for man. The man who is blessed
by heaven, to the last moment of his life
is pronounced by US to be happy; but the
happiness of him who still lives. and is
engaged in the conflicts of life, is uncer-
tain and precarious, like that of the COM
blatant ere the crown of victory is deter
mined.

Mr.. J. M. Scanland, a veteran newspaper
writer, of somewhat migratory habits, is in
the city for few weeks, after about fifteen
years since last here. About that long
ago, during the John Loughran regime,
Mr.. Scanland did some very fine detective
work on the News, which had very salu-
tary effect in lettering bad conditions then
existing. Mr.. Scanland is great traveller,
not caring to remain very long in one place,
but is every inch a gentleman wherever
you find him. He has done work for nearly
all the great papers of the country and
wherever he goes his stories, done in a
snappy style, original with himself, are
always taken by them. Mr.. Scanland went
through the narrowing ordeal of the great
San Francisco earthquake and wrote it up
for number of big papers.
