turned his ordinary road runabout au-

labor saving machine and money earn
err. About year ago Mr.. Belden pur-
chased secondhand Knox automo-

put it to work saving up cord wood
during the part of the season when
there was little doing on the farm. He
soon after gave up part of the farm
life and started in to take jobs for
saving wood and bailing hay and has
already several jobs booked for cutting
up tobacco stalks next month. Last
winter he baled between 300 and 400
tons of hay, sawed between $50 and
800 cords of wood and cut several tons
OF tobacco iAilks.

Republican Organization.

The conference between the Repub-
liean state campaign committee and
prominent members of the party held
in New Orleans last Monday resulted
IN decision to send organizers into
the different sections Of Louisiana
for the purpose Of forming Republican
clubs and thus promoting the prose
cntion of a methodicai and thorough
canvass in behalf of the Republican
ticket from this time until the holding
of the general election on the 21st OF
April.
The candid ate for governor Henry
n, Pharr of iberia parish, participated
in the conference and expressed his
hearty approval of the proposition to
effect complete party organization and
make vigorous campaign covering
every parish and portion Of the state.
Arrangements are under way for q
series OF mass meetings at different
points. beginning with one at the New
Orleans Atheneum On Wednesday,
March 4, at which Messrs. Pharr,
Hebert, ex Gov. Warmoth and other
prominent ard able Republican, speak
ers will be heard in advocacy Of the
election Of the Pharr ticket.

Ohio for Taft.

The Taft forces made clean sweep
OF Ohio in the election Of delegates to
the national Republican convention,
assuring solid delegation from that
state in support of the great 'Secre-
tary of Peace" as candidate for the
presidency. There is some talk of
Senator Foraker's getting IN bolt
ing convention to send contesting
delegation to Chicago, but there is not
the shadow OF legal or political jnsti-
f1eation for movement of this kind,
and We shall be much disappointed if
a man and Republican of the Ohio
senator's big ealibre engages in such
little scheme. There can be no cues
ton of the sentiment of an overwheIm
ing majority of the Republicans or
Ohio in favor of Secretary Taft's nom
ination, and We shall expect to see
Senator Foraker recognize and &C.
eept this fact with good grace, how
ever much he may have desired
different result.

probibition 5,eetiag Not 4 Success.

The prohibition meeting held at the
courthouse Tuesday night under the
auspices of the Louisiana Anti Saloon
League was not the success its pro-
moters had expected it to be. There
were about 125 people present, includ-
ing a few ladies, but it was apparent
that large proportion OF those in at
tendance had been attracted by curl
osity and were not ia sympathy with
the objects OF the gathering. Rev. e.
P. Craddock, pastor OF the local
Methodist church, presided, and the
speakers were Rev. j.. G. Barr, Mrs.
S. A. Smith and DIR. S. A. Smith, ali
of New Orleans. Rev. Barr deliv-
cred a forcefal and eloquent address
on the subject, aThe Saloon Us. Man
hood, !" and had no difficulty in hold
ing the entire attention of his audience,
but the remarks of the other speakers
did not seem to appeal to the crowd
and were received with marked indif-
ference.
During the course OF her talk, Mrs.
Smith said:
'sThe curse Of the liquor traffic falls
most heavily on some woman. When
the drankard is inAamed with drink
ard goes to his home it is upon his
wife, especially. hattie blow falls. II it
is not drunken husband, sometimes
it is a drunken son, and, again, the

Woman's deadliest enemy is the sa-
loon.
Liquor will cause man to do any
thing. It even turns mother into
torturipg iend. Let US notice some of
the effects on the schools. In Paris,
Tenn, where there are no saloons,
there was recently appropriated out
OF the eity's treasury to the Grove
high school 81, 500, and since then
they have added to their public school
building fund $4,000, and the school in
terests have increased nearly 300

cense League shows that, taking ter
prohibition cities and ten license cities
for comparison, in the prohibition
cities an average OF IS 3 5 per cent of
all children between the ages OF 5 and
10 attend the primary and grammar
schools, while the percentage of the
same class of children attending
school in the licensed cities is only %,
because they have to go to work earlier
in life to support the family, and the
saloorkeeper gets the money instead
Of the home. Everywhere we find in
creased attendance in dry cities.

4 HIGH Office Declined.

Finding that the extensive business
affairs under his control were likely
to suffer from a severance of his con-
nectien Herewith and his removal to
Washington, Mr.. Pearl Wight OF New
Orleans felt impelled to decline the APP
pointment as commissioners OF Internal
revenue rendered him several months
ago by President Roosevelt.
While earnestly regretting the cir
cumstanees which lea to this action on
the part of Mr.. Wight. and deploring
tae loss of prestige to the Republican
party of Louisiana AID the state itself
involved in his declination of the high
honor which was sought to be confer
red upon him, we cannot refuse to rec
ognize the admirable character of his
motives, which is entirely in harmony
With the spirit of self abneg alton and
faithfulness to trust marking his
course in all the relations OF a long
and busy life. II only the interests OF
himself and his immediate family had
been involved in his continued active
supervision OF the commercial and fl
nancial enterprises in which he is en-
gagged, he would doubtless have made
the sacrifice that would be entailed by
his acceptance OF the profered Office,
but among his business associates and
ow-investors are many who have
risked their means in these ventures
because OF their faith in him and his
management, and it was a sense ofduty
to these friends and associates more
Than any other consideration that in
fuenced his determination to forego
the tempting distinction placed at his
disposal.
Being a warm friend and admirer OF
President Roosevelt and a Jealous sup
porter of the policies that have given
tone and lnstre to the present national
administration, the opportunity to
become member Of the presidents off,
eial family, so to speak, would have
been a special privilege and pleasure
TO Mr.. Wight, and only those who are
very near him and familiar with his
feelings and sentiments on this sub
jeet can fully appreciate the effort it
has cost him to relinquish such an OPP
portunity.

in New Orleans for years, and their
work last night proved that the claims
were fully justified. Tim Ousley, the
fun maker, song writer and producer,

kept going. Gordon Collins, the gro
tesque comedian and soft shoe dancer,
was a his all of his time on the stage.
His dancing was great and his eomical
expression won tremendous applause.
Ed Wilson's singing was q feature
of the show, his rendition OF I'D
Rather Be Outsider being immense.
The famous Erlma donna, Lizzie Hart,
captured the audience with beautiful
songs, rendered with great expression.
Her voice is Of high range and notable
quality. Bessie LaBelle is q won

applauded ard eneored her numbers
until she grew tired OF responding.
The Simmons, musical artists, gave
an exhibition OF singing aud playing
which ranked with the best in their
line. Miss Simmons has a flexible
soprano voice of beautiful quality,
and she knows how to use it. She
also plays the saxophone with skill.

it is without doubt the finest heard
here with a minstrel show. The pro-
gramme winds up with n musical com
