has had introduced bill in the
present Legislature. which should
pass.
We notice that men represent
ing the Federation OF Labor at
Baton Rouge before the General
Assembly are fighting her bill and
her reappointment. We also
notice that the members of the
labor organizations in the differ
ent places arc holding mass meet
ings repudiating the stand taken
by their representatives. We
hope that the members of the
General Assembly will pass Miss
Gordon's bill and that the Gov
ernor will reappoint her.

PRESS CONVENTION.

" Z tldo thANhNNN So

Convention last week but having
been called to Baton Rouge neg
lected it. We would be derelici
had we failed to mention the ele-
CANT reception and noticed the
splendid speeches made by Mayor
Bynum of Baton Rouge. Miss

Inspector appointed in the State,
Hon. Joseph +. Ransdell on the
subject of improvement of waters
ways OF the United States; the
reception given the members OF
the Press at the residence of Judge
T. Samboia Jones; the steamboat
trip from Baton Rouge to P.aque-
mines on that magnificent steamer
Carrie b. Schwing," which was
brought from Bayou Plaquemine
through the Atchafalaya. Red
and down the Mississippi by Capt.
Schwing; the open-handed recep-
tion given by the citizens OF the
town of Plaquemine; the view Of
the workings of the locks; the
carriage drive around the. town;
the musical entertainment given
at the Columbus, Club and the
splendid banquet given at the
Opera House; the return trip to
Baton Rouge by moonlight; the
excellent music by the Plaque
mines Band, and on the following
day trip to the Jackson Insane
Asylum. This trip of all Others
was most interesting to the writer.
The first stop was made at the
cow barn which is by far the most
complete in every respect that We
have ever seen. 1t is made of
concrete and the construction was
by the inmates, superintendent by
an expert. The estimated cost
was $4,000. but cost not over
$4,000. When we arrived at the
asylum proper, we found that
there were 1919 inmates in that
institution. We were surprised to
learn that the State only furnished
that institution thirty cents day
for each inmate, which meart
maintenance. clothing, medical
attention. guards, nurses and al
PENDANTS, when the sheriffs
get 90 cents for feed only.
The rooms are clean and the |
food good and wholesome. We
were treated to magnificent en-
tainment by the inmates. saw them

Winfield Honored.

1t speakes volumes for the re-
putation of Winfield abroad, not
less than a tribute to the energy
and prominence of its citizens as
members of State organizations,
of which they are active members,
that they have been signally hon.
ored of late.
Major Will A. Strong was un
animou,ly electer first Vice-presi-
dent of the Louisiana Press AS
ISOLATION last week as a member
of the Association, holding the
position of Managing editor of
the Southern Sentinel.
Joe A. Mashaw, Of the South
ern Sentinel, deaf mute, was
elected Secretary of the first or
ganizatlon of the alumni Associa-
ton of the Louisiana State School
for the Deaf, an important posi-
ton most worthily bestowed.
As a fitting endorsement of
these honOrs, the Press Associa-
ton, by unanimous vote,
setecied Winfield as the town in
which to hold their next annual
meeting in 1909. That the mem
bers will be royalty welcomed and
Hospitality entertained, there is
not the least reason to doubt.

| knowledge is power, says
Bacon. The wisest man of the
Hebrews emphasizes The thought
in his Proverbs when he proclaims
"A wise man IS strong, yea a
man of knowledge increaseth
strength. Johnson in his Raselas,
saysthat il IS more than equiva-
lent TO force 1t is the one only
good thing of human life, even as
ignorance is the one only evil.
Out of it has grown the stu
pendous powers and achievements
of mans wonderful mind. Today
it is carving out the destinies of
earth's nations and adding to the
constantly increasing momentum
of what is most excellent in hui
man nature, above and beyond all
power and dominion. 1t was the
chief desire of Alexander the
Great, even in the heighlh of his
ambition. as the world con-
queror.
1t is pointing the way, at the
beginning of this Twentieth Gems
tury. to the ultimate goal of this
races of men, the accomplishment
of universal human liberty. 1t is
holding aloft the torch of enligh,-
ment to the ignorant tribes of
earth that they may bask in the
glow OF It's radiance and feel the
warmth OF its inspiring beams. On
its shrine glow eternal vestaI fires
that shall inspire the hearts OF
men TO enter the portals of its
spacious temple and catch the in
spiration OF the words of wisdom
of its preachers and teachers.
Mind is a remarkable faculty of
men, created a little lower than
the angels, and its expansive and
limitless storehouSe is never filled.
1t is the great lever of all things,
as Webster proclaimed it. and
"humar' thought is the process by
which human ends are ultimately
answered" 1t is without boun-
dairy. 1t is giant whose power
and strength are ever restl
1t is an Atlas bearing the world
on its shoul1e 1t gathers its
forces from the worlds records
and utilizing these, it'ever strives
TO add to the towering pyramid
of human knowledge and wrest
still greater victories from the
realms of thought. II is broaG-
ened by the ability to investigate
Systematically and truly all that
comes under the observation in
life. Wordsworth forcibly ex-
pressed its power. when he penn
ed in his Simon Lee, this senti-
ment.
20 Readerl had you in your mind
Such stores as silent thought can bring
gentle readerl you would find
A tale in everything"
The mind is the rudder of the
heart" There is world of
meaning in that sentence. Out
of it may come riches as pure as
virgin gold. or the dross that is
worthless and cast aside. 1t is
the fountain of all discourse,
which Pope SAYS is "the sweetest
banquet of the mind" Its smile,
breathing from the face, clothes
it with richest beauty, or scowls
in lines of hate aud deformity.
The unseen and inward perfection
of this attribute presents untold
riches when its treasures are wise
ly used. Watts sums up its full
power when he says: The mind
IS the standard of the man."

poet Tennyson uttered tremend
Gus truth when he wrote in hi
| Oenone:
"Self-reverence, self-knowledge, self-control-
These three alone lead life to soyereignpower.'
Yet these three mighty force:
that mould human character anC
human reputation both for time
and eternity. depend very largely
on that vital force that shapes the
destiny of every man and woman
knowledge. The higher intelli
gence depends on the great store
house of information. and that oil
such a nature, that like nourishing
food, will assimilate with those
forces of the system that will
produce healthy blood. tissues,
muscles, solid flesh and withal a
healthy mind. So the acquire
ment of learning must be along
those channels that will give to
the mental faculties a healthy
growth, endow it with those at
tributes that will ennoble. purify,
elevate and lead to the heights oil
noble endeavor and lofty aspira-
| tons.
knowledge is a precious boon
to those who know how to use il
properly. The man or woman
who is intelligent, brainy, is not
given to needlessly and needless
ly scattering the rich stores of the
mind among those who neither
care for its wealth nor appreciate
IS worth. Nor does intelligence,
concious of its supriority, make
boast of its presence.
True knowledge is like timber
used most. and best when it is
seasoned. 1t is acquired by per
sistent effort. deep research and
careful application of the best
qualities of the mind. that will
enrich this great storehouse with
such solid grains of learning thai
when diffused it will bear sound,
rich, luscious fruit and Immor-
talize itself. 1t collects its riches
from the brightest scenes and tn,
most pleasant and most beautiful
lessons of nature and cults for its
use the fairest blossoms of art and
the most fragrant flowers OF
science and learning.
Possibly n, man better knew or
more forcibly, pointedly. earnest
ly and eloqusntly described this
cultivated mental power than the
SPLENDID orator and distinguished
statesman, Daniel Webster. In
one of his matchless orations he
said that knowledge, in truth, is
the great sun in the armament.
Life and power are scattered with
all its beams. knowledge is the
only fountain. both of love and
the principles of human liberty"
Love is the ruling power of the
creation and all that it embraces
Human liberty is the acme of

REFLECTIONS OF
A BACHELOR GIRL
r~r~r - rnrv-v .N.r.
By HELEN ROWLAND.

Near-lovemaking is the scientific
masculine method Of saying a great
deal and promising nothing
a man buttons a womau's dress
up the back with almost the same
grace and alacrity that a woman
displays in climbing a barbed-wire
fence.
A woman can do nothing wrong,
as long as a man is in love with
her. and nothing right after he
ceases 10 be.
Give me a man with a dark
brown past-One who has tasted
the spice in life's pudding, and
won't begin to long for It the mo-
ment he has been put on the mat
rimonial diet of bread and milk.
The kind Of wife every man is
looking for is one who can peel
potatoes with one hand, curl her
hair with the other, rock the cradle
with her foot, and accompany her
self on the piano.
It isn't Cupid, but cupidity, that
is to blame for those unhappy in
ternational marriages.
That old saw about marrying a
man to get rid of him isn't a joke:
it's the best way.

FROM WOMAN'S
POINT OF VIE "

The first showing Of spring millinery is
amazingly ugly, and the woman who ae-
cepts it will wish that she had waited
till the fashions slmmered down TO the
taste of refined women. There are plenty
Of women who refuse to be ludicTous or
hideous, and they are sufficiently power
ful TO set about what they want from
those who make fashions.
The woman of taste keeps abreast Of
the fashions in a way. that is. she drops
WORKOUT styles and adopts whatever new
ones she can adapt TO her use. If she
can AFFORD it she patronizes hrst-class
dre&makers and gets her moneys worth
by wearing her clothes two or three sea-
sons without losing her prestige az a
well-dressed woman. There Is an advan-
tage in this method, as you can see. and
have been told by women who use 1t
that there is economy as we'll.
It Is no economy TO save at the expense
Of good looks. 1t is a woman's duty to
look her best. q duty she owes her fam
lily. If she can secure it by small ex-
penditure. so much the better, but TO
save by accepting shabbiness is not cred
table, save in dire stress Of circum-
stances. Poverty is an excuse for shah
biness. and nothing else is accepted by
the world, save in the rare cases Of
shabby millionaires.
Americas richest woman glories in her
economies, but there is no foundation for
It. since they mean shabbiness and dirt
I saw her once at close quarters, IN fact
I interviewed her in the days when she
stunned nOtOriety. and I said afterward
that if she were my mother / should be
ashamed OF her untidy appearance. Her
clothes were spotted with grease and
dirt. and the ruffies al her neck were
none too clean. Her manners were not
quite what one might expect from per-
son In her position, and I cannot say
that her treatment Of me was very fla<-
tering. but / was able TO draw a word
picture Of her that was a truer likeness
than some Of the photographs she has
given to the newspapers.
There is a case where a duty Is plainly
overlooked. The woman is a wonder in
her own line, and she owes the world a
debt which she is not discharging by
Ieglecting her personal appearance. She
has the right TO live as simply as she
pleases. TO scrub her own floors, and
carry a paper bag luncheon to her room
in hotel, bat she has no moral right TO
give 20 youth an impression Of sordId-
ness from vast wealth. The possession
Of money presupposes the accompani-
ment of refinement and all the other
blessings money can buy, and unless such
an ideal is held up to youth. of what use
is the hard struggle for education and
financial success? have In mind a beau
tiful home in which the family of
liquor dealer forgets the source of its
income, which is common place where
the wages OF workiugmen are squandered
with their wits. The sons have ambitions
above the sordid drinking place. and are
preparing TO strike out for themselves in
creditable paths, Money has swept them
beyond the possibility Of continuing the
family business, as Is sometimes done

While the activity Of the japanese sec

sarily follow that Japan intends to de-
clare war with every nation upon which
it is found spying. or upon any Of them
for that matter. 1t is a good thing for
every government to be as we'll posted

matter Of fact. ii Is most difficult TO keep

Tokyo. Feb 20.-The japanese govern

which for thorough organization and eff
fectIveness is a marvel Every few days
the newspaper dispatches give accounts
of some new exploit Of the members of
this corps. Even IL all OF these reports
cannot be substantiated. their frequency
and the wide territory covered would
make 1t seem that the activities OF these
spies extend to the furthermOst ends of
the earth One day they are heard from
IN some remote province OF China, and
the next in far-OI Chile. American army
officers assert that the system Of espion-
age in the Philippines has been SO extern

That the japanese are not new al this
game was shown by an incident which
occurred recently in China. An Ameri-

by two japanese men who requested that
