formed a favorable opinion of
him then, which has since been
borne out by his rapid elevation
by his fellow-democrats. He was
a member of the State Constitu-
tional Convention in 1898, and
those who served with him testify
that he rendered valuable service
to the State, particularly in hold
ing the right of franchise for the
uneducated voter.
l met him again in the Legisla-
ture in 1902, where | was your
Representative in the place of DIR.
Caldwell, deceased. He was then
Speaker of the House. / have
known him since, and as very
good man, who knew him about
the same tine, said the other day:
IL always thought him q brainy
man, as good as any of his enc
mics, until lately l am told very
different by those who never saw
him, nor know anything about
him."
You. my friends, here in VIM
Parish helped to elect him in
April, 1904. as Lieutenant Cover
nor. We hadn't heard then that
he was unfit for high Office. Some
of the very people who supported
him then are active against him
now, and they know no more
about him now than they did then.
Governor Sanders claims the
support of the farmers of the
country above his opponent. In
his speech at JOnesbOro, Jackson
parish. the other day he said he
had sat with men there present in
conventions of the old Farmers
Union of which he was a member.
He said he was glad the Farmers
Union had taken on a new lease
of life. and that he believed they
had as much right TO organize for
their protection and mutual well
fare as any other body of men.
II am glad to know that the Union
today is strong all over the State
and doing good work." he said.
For the reasons above mention
ed, and for others which L will
name later on, l am supporting
Gov. Sanders, and ask all good
citizens to do the same.

Home Protection.

The Home Protection League
has been organized in Baton
Rouge, the capitol of Louisiana.
Its objects are plainly and tersely
stated.
First, to aid and encourage
the officers in the enforcement of
the laws, particularly the Sunday
law, the minor law and the law
against the slot machines. Sec
ond, any line of work for the pro-
lection of the young and the adj
vaneement :and Improvement of
the city. This is proclamation
to the country that the men of
that city are unable to enforce
the laws on the statute books. 1t
is hardly a compliment to their
civic pride, their observance of
the laws for the peace and moral
ity of the city and their spirit of
patriotism in upholding right and

since he announced himself as a
candidate for Governor, it was not
my original intention to take any
active part in the campaign.

little more than cast my vote for

He said he simply expected at

fair methods on and particularly
off the stump which were being
resorted to in the attempt to de-
feat the Lieutenant Governor
caused him to feel as every Demo
crat ought to feel, that such
methods of campaigning should be
resented. He stated further that
it was to be regretted and it was
to the shame of Louisiana that
aspersions on the character OF
Governor Sanders, were being
circulated about the state, not
from the stump, because the OPP
position dared not make the
charges in the open, but through
rumors and whispers, the author

of time fresh born, to review what

cies that mar the brightness of
the soul and point to the way that
leads into better thoughts and
better deeds.
Experience is a potent master
if needed. 1t is fearful tyrant
if disobeyed and defied.
What shall the harvest be for
the coming year?
Have there been left behind in
now irrevocable past. powers
that will work for good? Does
there come up sweet thoughts
that bring no wrinkles to the face
no frown on the brow, no light of
sadness to dim the eyes? Have
the days now flown been glorified

of radiant hopes glorified and con-

shall be gathered those rewards
that glorify the inner man and
build the solid foundations on
which rest true greatness. 1t is
worth seeking, it Is worth striving
for. CoIeridge defines the great
good man:
"Greatness and goodness are not means, but

the festivities of this season more
heartily than the siIver-haired,

UNCLE SANS XMAS
BOXES FOR HAWAII

Army and Navy Journal.-The Quar-

sued the following circular as to the
forwarding of Christmas boxes to troops
in the Philippines, Cuba and Hawaii:
The Secretary of War having authoriz.
ed the Quartermaster General to for
ward from San Francisco any Christmas
boxes or boxes of reading matter which
may be delivered there for officers and
soldiers in the Philippines, it is request
ed that the following directions be ae-
eurately observed in order to insure
prompt action: 1. Boxes should be
consigned to General Superintendent,
Army Transport Service, San Francisco,
California. g The name of the officer
or soldier for whom intended, with the
company and regiment or other organ
ization to which he belongs, should be
plainly marked on the box; also the
notation "Christmas box'' or "Read-
ing matter" as the case may be. Elk

8. These boxes should contain no per-
ishable matter, should not exceed 20
pounds in weight, and all freight or
express charges must be prepaid on
them to San Francisco. The Quarter
masters Department assumes no re-
sponsibility for the condition of these
boxes when delivered, but viii exercise
every care to deliver them safely and
in good order. Practically the same
directions apply to boxes intended for
troops in Cuba except that they should
be sent to Army Transport Service,
Newport News, Va. Boxes may be sent !
to troops in Hawaii by way of the

| fire. The heat became well-nigh I'M
bearable. The unsuspecting cashier
took off his coat, in which were his
keys, hung it on peg and finished the
game in his shirt sleeves.
Of course, this was precisely what
the conspirators had been waiting for.
A tin tobacco box, filed with soap,
was used to take an impression of the
all-important keys, and day or two
later the bank s Golfers were the light
er by several thousand pounds.
Robbery by this class of method is
known as "smooth work, and is pre-
ferred whenever possible. But, if all
else fails, your true bank robber will
not stop at CROUCH work, - by which
is meant the use of explosives, and, if
necessary, of personal violence.
Another branch of bank robbery is
known as the "holdup' This con
ssts in marching boldly up to the cash
Ter, presenting a revolver at his head
and demanding. in so many words, his
money or his life
Such a game as this is, of course, an
exceedingly dangerous one, although
not so much so as that played by the
Cluster. -
The Cluster" represents the most
reckless type of all and busting
may be fairly regarded as bank rob,
berry run mad. 1t consists in walking
into bank with bomb and threaten
ing to 'bust' the whole establishment
TO "smithereens' unless money is
forthcoming.
Now and again, at rare intervals,
the plan succeeds. More frequently it
results disastrously, both to 'huster'
and to bank. Thus, the original inven-
tor of the dodge, who tried it at Mr..
Russell Sage's private bank in Broad
way, New York, on December 4, 1891,
was blown to pieces, as were also four
unlucky clerks, who flung themselves
upon him.

THE BRIGHT SIDE

of life. 1t is q feeling common
to the majority of us that we
do not get quite the amount of
happiness we are entitled to.
Among the countless things
which tend to make us more or
less miserable i'll health takes
first place. Hannah More said
that sin was generally to be at
tributed to biliousness. No doubt
q crippled liver with the result
ing impure blood, is the cause Of
more mental gloom than any
other single thing. And whA
can reckon up the fearful aggre-
gate of pain, loss and fear a.
rising from the many diseases
which are familiar to mankind;
like vast cloud 1t hangs over
a multitude no one can number.
You can see these people every
where. For them life can scarce
ly be said to have any "bright
side" at all. Hence the eager
ness with which they search for
relief and cure. Remedies like
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION
have not attained their high po-
sition in the confidence of the
people by bald assertions and

are obliged to win it by doing
actually what is claimed for them.
That this remedy deserves it's
reputation is conceded. It is
