thought that perhaps something
from these parts would be interest
ing TO some Of your readers. This
being my first attempt you should
not expect much of me, but never
theless | shall endeavor to give
brief description Of our little south
ern town
This is a saw.mill town six miles
north of Alexsndres, La, on Iron
Mountain X. X. Founded in 1890
by Mr.. j. NJ. Nagent a noted saw
mill operator of this district, born
aud reared here in old Rapids Parish
aud a purely self made man, rose to
prominence by strict attention to
business. Mr.. Nsgent accumulated
quite a little fortune and was recent
ly elected the State Senate from this
district on the democratic ticket, but
died directly afterward and did not
serve IN his office, the next operators
connected with the saw mill here
was the J. Lewis Lumber Co. A.
Lewis manager and in succession the
Tioga Lumber CO., succeeded in
1900 by the present owners the Lee
Lumber Co.
Mr.. o. II. Cooper local manager
for this plant, has been burned out
twice. the first burn was in 1895
and was a total burn out, the sec
ond was in 1906 and il was only a
partial burn out which has been re-
placed with a better plant than the
old Que, the difference is as follows
the old plant was equipped with cir
cular and pony mill and the present
plant y equipped with circular and
band saws.
We have = good electric light
plant and the mill and town are sup
piled with water through pipes lead
ing from a drilled we'll on the hill
above the town. We have two
churches, Baptist and Methodist also
good school building, a Free Mason
hall, Woodmen hail aud society is
above the average for saw mill
town.
The financial crash which fell up
on the country last year Of course
retarded business somewhat here as
we'll as elsewhere, but after putting
every thing on an average as regards
demand and supply, ] presume the
Lee Lumber Co has treated its i'm
ployees quite far or as much so as
reasonably lay in their power to do.
Owing to such high water IN Red
river crops have be n Gu. very short,
but some Of the cotton fields would
look rather long to we Kentucky
people

dOvernOr Wilson And The Farmers.
Under the above heading the Lex
ingtop, (Ky.,) Gazette prints the
following editorial.
Governor Wilson has raised the
serious question as to whether the
movement of the tobacco growers is
an honest sincere effort on the part
Of the men engaged in this industry
to secure fair price for their pro-
duct or whether it is the scheme of
shrewd, ambitious leaders to satisfy
their own greed for gain and their
ambition for power.
This new issue as to the tobacco
situation was raised by the governor
in his speech at Louisville at meet
ing of the Law and Order Leagne.
1t is an issue that cannot be ignored.
1t is evident that the governor does
not believe that the organizations OF
the farmers have been undertaking
and carried out for proper purposes
and in good faith. He takes the
position that they pretend to fight
Crittenden record=press. [volume] (Marion, Ky.) 1907-1909, 1908-07-09

worthy men, and their real purpose
is to not benefit the farmers. but to
give profit and power to a few ambi-
tious leaders.
II the governor is right the Society
Of Equity and all of the organiza-
tons of farmers for advancing the
price of tobacco ought to be stamped
out aud vigorous measures to be TAX
en- to this end. But the first re-
quisite to this course is the positive
proof Of the justice of the charges
made. The evidence upon which
they are based ought to be produced.
II the governor is right he ought to
convict those whom he accuses at the
court Of public opinion If he cannot
convict them of violation of the law.
II the governor is wrong be has done
a gross injustice to many of the very
best citizens of Kentucky. He has
made grave charges not only against
the whole body Of farmers, but against
their leaders. Whether right or
wrong. as the matter now stands, he
puts himself in the attitude Of an tag
onism to every purpose Of the Society
of Equity and the organizations Of
the tobacco growers. He condemns
not merely night riding, but the
whole movement He condemns not
only night riders, but the whole body
Of the mem bership and the leaders Of
the farmers organization.
The Gazette does not believe that
the evidence now before the public
Ijustifes his position. We believe
that he has disqualified himself fol-
rendering any service toward solu-
tion Of one OF the most important
problems that now confront the state
Of Kentucky, until he can show be-
yond all question that HIS insinua'
tons aud accusations can be justified
by actual facts.
The governor says that his soldiers
have killed sixteen night riders. II,
says he knows the leader of tn,
night riders. He claims to be pos
session of the details OF their orgsni
zation, including the oath that bind
them together After making thes,
statements he goes farther with in
situations and charges that involv
every man with any voice in tn
movement for higher prices for to
bacco. His attitude is made all tn
more significant by what he claim
to know.
The governor must make good o
find himself In a most humiliatin,
position. He must capture the lead
er of the night riders and his lieu
tenants. He must expose this oath
bound organization. He must Civ
the names of the dead night rider
killed by his soldiers with details o
the fights in which they were slain
He must also make good in his at
tack on the integrity of the organ
lied farmers and their leaders o
stand before the state not only hu
inflated but discredited.

PASTOR CONDEMNS
MODERN WOMAN
Her Way of Dressing immoral
and Impure in Its Tendency,
His Sensational Charge.
A N PULPIT AND PRESS
TO WAR ON FASHIONS
What Are Our Women Coming
TOP" Asks the Rev. M. 6.
Dickinson, of HObOken.

HOBOKEN, June 1S.-'In the name
of purity and morality, what are our
women coming TO when they will thus
take UP with any and all OF the die
tates OF fashion without ever asking
a question The way our women are
dressing themselves today is immOdcst,
Impure and immoral in its tendencies"
This Was part of a sweeping denun-
citation against the sheath skirt. the
short skirt, the p~eek-a-boo waist and
o other articles of women's apparel
tina has been made by the Rev. NJ.
G. Dickinson, pastor Of the Second
Baptist Church. this city, in an open
letter.
"A few years ago" the clergyman
writes, 1t was the low neck. More re-
Gently it was the p~eek-a-boo waist that
was the subject of low Jokes and coarse
conversation. Fashion went as far as
she dared in that direction, and this
summer she has her slaves shortening
her dresses at the other end, until they
are making themselves the unenvied
objects of side glances and unclean talk
on the part ow low-minded men, espe-
cially on a windy day. And now. to
cap h climax, Fashion has decreed
the Sheath gown, a dress making such
an immodest exposure of the Wearer's
form that a respectable woman ought
to be most heartily ashamed to be seen
wearing it,"
The Rev. Dickinson spoke approx
ingly of the opposition of Beecher and
'Talmage to the low-necked dress, and
he approved the action of an Episcopal
clergymen in asking the women of his
congregation to attend services in
h~igher-necked gowns. After speaking
of the effect modern woman's dress
has upon the mind of the modern man,
from his view, he asked that press and
pulpit join in the crusade against of
fensive styles

can Bar Association at Detroit, in the
summer of 1895. had enunciated the
principle on which President Roosevelt
has made his great fight for the sup
preston of monopoly and the abolition
of special privileges. Thus Mr.. Taft
pioneered the way for the Roosevelt
policy"
Blazing Philippine Trail.
Since the settlement of the recon-
structlon questions no more delicate or
fateful problem has confronted Ameri-
can craftsmanship than that of the
Philippines. The sudden pitching of
oversee territory into our possession
as a result of the war with Spain, Gre
ated a situation not only unexpected
but entirely without precedent. There
was no guide for II statesmen. The
path had to be hewed out new from the
beginning.
But ever at that early day there We're
a few-a very few-among the leaders
of American thought and action, who
saw clearly the responsibility thrust
upon the country by the adventitious
possession of the Philippines, and de-
terrhined to meet 1t fully, no matter
what clamor of opposition might arise.
Among IileSe 1I6SlutIll RltHlillty was
one. Mr.. Taft was another. Mr.. Taft
had been opposed to taking the islands.
He was opposed to r%etaining them. More
than all he opposed their exploitation
for American benefit. He believed that
the Philippines belonged to the Fill
pinos, and should be developed in the
interest of their own people.
Therefore when President Mckinley
asked him to go to Manila and under
take the difficult and %thankless task
of starting the F%ilipinos upon their
true course, he sacrificed the judicial
career which was his life's ambition
and %shouldered the white Mans Bur-
den" It was in March. 1900, that he
received his appointment as chairman
of the Philippine Commission.
Mr.. Taft arrived i'll Manila to find a
people subdued by force of arms, but
unanimously hostile. sullen and sus-
picious. They were still struggling,
with the bitterness of despair, against
the power in which they all saw only
the hand of the oppressor.
The only government in their knowl-

CIVIL SERVICE INQUIRY
WILL COVER THE STATE.

At the meeting Of the state Civil
Service Association, in Senator Colby's
office. plans were formulated for study
ing local conditions in each county in
the State, looking to the adoption of
the new civil service act in all counties
and municipalities. A resolution was
adopted providing for the appointment
of a committee in each community to
axe eognizance of conditions in that
locality, and to report back to the COM
mission If the committees report is
favorable efforts will be made to have
the law adopted.

edge was tyranny. The only education
in their history was deceit. The only
tradition they possessed was hatred of
oppression, made concrete for them by
their experience with western domino
ton.
Mr.. Taft gave them concrete exam
Piles of disinterestedness and good faith
which they could not fail to compre
bend. He gave them schools n the
opportunity of education, one of the
dearest wishes of the whole people.
But education WI only a beginning.
Mr.. Taft give the Filipinos the oppor-
tunity to own their own homes. 1t was
another concrete example of simple
Justice. When they saw him negotiat
ing for the friar lands. and 1t a great
expense to the American government,
securing for the FiIipinos the right to
buy those lands on Easy terms. it went
home to the dullest among them that
he was working unselfshly in their be-
half.
1t is not important here to discuss in
detail Mr.. Taft's administration of the
Wal Department since he succeeded
Elihu Root as Secretary Of War on
February /, 1904. He has been at the
head of it during the years of its great
est range of activity. He is not merely
Secretary of the Army, as almost all his
predecessors were. He is Secretary of
the colonies Under his direction fall
matters Of the utmost Importance af-
fecting every one of the oversee pos
sessions of the United States.
The affairs of the army alone have
often proved sufficient to occupy the
whole attention of an able secretary.
Mr.. Taft has had to handle not only
those and the Philippine and Cuban
business, but to direct the construction
of the Panama Canal as well.
When Mr.. Taft becam Secretary of
War this country had just taken pos
session of the canal zone, under treaty
with the Republic of Panama, and of
the old canal property, including the
Panama railroad, by purchase from the
French III The work was all to
do.
The Hay-Varilla treaty with Pan
anna had secured to the United States
all the rights necessary for complete
control of the canal zone, and it be
came of the utmost importance to in
sure the maintenance of friendly re-
lations with the people of the isthmus
republic.
It became his task to convince the
Panamanian people and government
that the United States had not gone
to the sthmus to build a rival state
instead Of a canal
AS head of the War Department, and
the superior CT the Canal Commission,
has conducted all the affairs of this
government with the republic of Pan
since the ratification of the orig
inal treaty, and has succeeded in keep
ing our relations with the isthmus
uniformly pleasant.
Aside from the philippines and the
canal the greatest call that has been
made upon Mr. Taft since he became
Secretary Of 1Yar eame from Cuba.
This was q case largely similar to the
Philippine problem.
With his experience of the Filipinos
as a guide ara the magnetism of his
personality as a lever Nr. Taft pla-
the warning factions and secured
peaceable intervention. Then lie de
vised anG set up a provisional govern
ment which all the Cubans accepted.
