For the next decade the

wants Natter Leif 70 Police jury.

Columbia, La, July 13.-The Po-
ice Jury passed the following strong
resolution in regard to the State
Came Commission:
Whereas, the game law Of 1908
has been ia force since October /,
1908. and
Whereas, during that time ID has
been demonstrated to our complete
satisfaction that the Game Commits
sion and the game wardens created By
that law have not been Of any
benefit in the protection Of the game
Of our parish, but, on the other hand,
have been a detriment to it; and
Whereas, we believe that the Ii
eense Of ST extracted from the eiti
zens Of the State for the privilege
Of hunting in our forests is unjust,
undemocratic and sumptuary and
Whereas we believe that the
game Of the State can be better pro
tected BY leaving the matter Of such
protection in the police juries Of the
several parishes Of the State; and
Whereas, we believe that the
State Game Commission has already
assumed authority not conferred upon
il by the Law, and that Il allowed to
go unchecked and unrebuked it viii
become oppressive and tyrannicaI to
the people, and
Whereas, we believe that the
greatest scope Of liberty consistent
with good order should be granted to
the citizen Of our State; therefore,
be it.
Resolved by The Police Jury Of the
Parish Of Caldwell in regular session
convened, That It is the sense Of this
body and the great majority Of
the citizenship Of our parish
that that part Of the State game
law which provides for the payment
Of q hunting l@isenee, creates a State
Game Commission and game Wsrdens
for the several parishes Of the State
should be abolished and repealed, and
that we, as representatives Of the
people Of Caldwell do hereby memo
rialize the Legislature Of the State Of
Louisiana to repeal and abolish
this obnoxious law at the next ses
sion Of that body which win assemble
in the city Of Baton Rouge, La, IN

LIVING UP TO AN IDEAL

It is curious what things a sudden accession of faith will lead people to try. Following series of revival meetings in Cleveland, Ohio, number of young people in ordinary walks of life, banded together and resolved to live for two weeks as nearly as possible as Jesus Christ would have lived under their circumstances. It would be mighty interesting to know of the ex- periences of majority of these we'll meaning young people. One of them is a girl employed as typewriter in a wholesale house. She tried to keep the pledge she had made for two days, and then abandoned the experiment as hope less. She also made public statement as to the reasons for her failure, Brief ly put, her statement is to the effect that business morality as we know it to- day and the morality of Christ's time are in hopeless opposition
 In her published statement she in stances the cases where she has to write letters dictated to her by the heads of various departments, the letters contain ing evasions, half truths, those little business lies that are so common. She writes:
 ''No doubt it is necessary to tell
 such lies in business, but Jesus
 would not have done so; and when
 type the letter I must tell the lie,
 too. Jesus would not have allowed
 Himself to be implicated in the lie.
 He would refuse to write 1t. If
 did that should lose my position.
 It is strange complaint this, of this typewriter girl. It is plain that she is frank, earnest, and honestly desirous of living up to higher ideal than that generally accepted nowadays. But we do not think that she should be cast down too much, or think too badly of the world in general because of her inability to square the teachings and practices of 2,000 years ago with the accepted moralities of highly organized business world.
 It will not do for us to cry that we are all miserable sinners and, because we cannot come within measurable reach of glorious moral ideal, feel that all struggle toward higher goal is useless and our effort is wasted. There is not one of us who has the power or the force to change things as they are; "the world is too much with us,' and instead of trying to create moral revolution or to protest too bitterly against things as they are, We can, at least, resolve that there shall be moral revolution within ourselves; that our lives shall be as pure as may be; our thoughts lofty our hipes high.
 We may find it impossible to live to- day as Jesus did in the days long gone, bit it is given to all of us to live ac- cording to the lights He showed us to live in hope and charity and honesty, believing always that "the best is yet to be-

STATE FARMS FOR THE UNEM
 FLOWED

Does the hobo want a job?
 Is he seeking work or lodging it? Would he willingly support himself if he should get chance? Judge Gary, head of the great steeI trust, says 'yes.
 T. v Powderly, long an eminent lead CT of union labor, and now commission CT of immigration, says mo" Gary spent an horr one night viewing a New York "bread hne'' and was surprised at the character of the men with no work, no chance to earn liv. ing"
 Powderly has spent lifetime inves- tigating sociological conditions, as well as many night in the nbread line, '' for investigation, and is convinced that the men thus seeking charity are for the most part slovenly, indolent, shift less and ambitiionless. "Such men, says Powderly, "should not be fed by the hand of charity, it is food wasted. You are only feeding the flame that burns up manhood. Don t feed them. Let them feed themselves on farm provided by the state. Give each man his task. and let each man know that he must earn his bread.''
 It is safe to assume that Powderly. after many years painstalxing study of the question, is more likely to be right than Gary, after cae look at the ''bread line.''
 Anyway, the people of New York state seem to take the same view that Powderly does, and state farm for the unemployed is likely to take the place of indiscriminate charity.
 The plan being urged in that state and which seems likely to be adopted is that a farm where all vagrants, ho- boes and others of the tramp species found anywhere within the state. are to be set to working out their own al vation.
 It is urged that such farm, properly conducted, would pay it's own way, give employment, income, health and man. hood to vast army, which is at pres ent tremendous drain upon philanthro py and foul cancer upon society.
 Whseher the unemployed man wants to work or not, the state farm would meet his needs,
 He who want to work would go to it gladly, and he who does not want work would be forced to 1t, as he ought to be.
 In either case the state could well af- ford to help the man get foothold and some savings, and at the same time repay the cost of giving hi mthe start.
 It is good plan, not only for New

 There is no sense or statesmanship in permitting able bodied men to re- main idle at the expense of the workers.
 Nor is there any statesmanship in failing to provide work for willing men, when it can be done without loss.
