Governor Sanders on Prohibition.

The recently elected Governor of
Louisiana, Hon J. Y. Sanders. was
inaugurated at Baton Rouge Mon
day, with great ceremony. His
inaugural address is warmly COM
mended by the New Orleans papers,
as covering all features of State gov
eminent in a most statesmanlike
manner, and was generally en-
dorsed. On the subject of prohibi-
ton he said:
Prohibition has worked well
where popular sentiment is behind
the law where not demanded by pub
lie sentiment, it has been practical
ly impossible to inforce it. Conser-
walton Of public interest and pro-
lection of the people require the en-
qctment of legislation that viii meet
the reasonable demands of the peo-
pie. A higher license for the State
and a minimum license of $500 for
parishes and municipalities would
appear 10 be an UNJUST demand.
Officers and stockholders of corpora
tions engaged in manufacturing in
toxicants should not be pecuniarily
interested in licensed barrooms.
Barrooms shouldsbe separated from
all other business, Gncensees should
give bond to observe the law, for
feitable on first conviction, with per-
manent disqualification from ever
obtaining a license on second con-
viction. Licenses should not be is
sued to women. Negroes and whites
should not be served in same place.
If laws thus suggested are not en-
forced and lived up to, then the
prohibition of traffic IS the only re-
medy for the evils complained Of. =

is that they cOnstipate. Kennedy's
Laxative Cough Syrup does not con-
stipate, but on the other hand its lax

The United States Supreme Court
this week decided the 'Ponto-
toe case, - which has been travelling
about through the State courts about
three years, in favor of the State
railroad commissioners, which means
that the Mobile, Jackson q Kansas
City railroad must rebuild its tracks
and depot en- the same locations
that they originally occupied. The
railroad company, upon reorgani-
zatiod a few years ago built its line
in a sort of circle around the town
and placed the depot on the out
skirts a mile from the first site, to
which the people protested and
have been in the courts ever since.
The matter is now settled finally.

WORSE THAN DEATH

than death. Il says:

it was thought by everybody that he
would sit there il siIken comfort for
a while, pass a formal examination
some morning after breakfast, and
then be whirled away in an automo-
bile, the crowd cheering as be went
Before him would lie the great world
with its pleasures and forgetfuIness;
ships 70 foreign ports, Old World cit
les with their theaters and beautiful
women, travel and adventures, and all
the thousand Injuries that belong to
imitless wealth.
But very different is the real fate
Of Harry K. Thaw, and it now seems
probable that this horrible institution.
this dangerous madhouse, this for
bidding and hopeless asylum for the
criminal insane will be his unhappy
home for the rest Of his days in this
world
The wages Of sin is death, the
Good Book tells US, and what more
horrible death can there be than this
living death OF madness-dead TO the

NO MORE LIQUOR TO BE SOLD ON
PULLMAN CARS ANYWHERE

The Pullman Company has decided
to discontinue the sale of liquor on
its cars in every part of the United
States. the order to go into effect as
soon as the liquors now on hand can
be disposed of without loss.
An order to this effect has been sent
our from Chicago to various district
superintendent throughout the Unit
ed States It is expected to begin in
the east and to work westward and
the order becomes operative in New
England and the Middle States about
March 1.
Not only have the changed cOndi
tons of the last twelve months cut
deeply into the profits formerly deriv-
ed from this source, but on long runs
liquor can be sold for only portions
of the distance and the company is
constantly in danger of prosecution
for lawbreaking through carelessness
Of employees.
officials Of the company say further
that there has been a tendency for
several years toward disseminating
the sale of liquor because of frequent
unpleasant occurrences resulting from
the too free use of intOXicants by pas
sengerS.
