Gems Of Thought.

Phillips Brooks: The way to get out O
self-love is to love God.
Jane Porter: The pure in heart are
slow to credit calumnies.
Shakespeare: Sir, he made chimney
in my fathers house, and the bricks are
alive at this day to testify it.
Jeremiah xiv, %: Art not thou he, o
Lord our God? therefore we will wait upon
thee: for thou hast made all these things.
Macauley: The Puritans hated bear
beating not because it gave pain to the
bear, but because it gave pleasure to the
spectators.
Holland: A man who has nothing to
DO is the devils playfellow. He has no
choice in the matter. He can find no
sympathy anywhere else. Good men find
nothing in him congenial.
Ruskin: God will put up with great
mans things in the human heart, but there
is one thing he will not put up with in it
a second place. He who offers God a
second place, offers him no place.

caprice of circumstances or the law of
precedence makes one man an employer
and another man his employee. The ele-
ment of courtesy, the badge of respect of
the one for the other, is a powerful factor
in maintaining the right relations in the
industrial field. This is true in every
sphere where some are appointed to lead
and direct and others are appointed to
obedience and service. The foundation
stone of many successful business ventures
is the ability to treat help with good
hammered consideration. The strike has
yielded to the kindly persuasive word. "a

Tacit License to Murder.

It is said, and rightly said, that human
life has come to be the one cheap thing in
America, and that, in certain districts, it
is safer to kill man than steal horse.
And even in districts where public senti-
ment is sounder, criminals get the benefit
of sympathy which seems to be part of
the American character. We cannot in
dulge this sympathy without paying the
price. Just as excessive losses by fire are
reflected in the rates of premium, so the
tacit license to slay touches the whole body
polite at last. In the days of feudalism
life and property were held by the tenure
of the sword and so it will be again, unless
the State fights the peaceful citizens bat
tie and does the work better than he could
do it himself. The weak judge, the un-
scrupulous lawyer and the plastic jury are
anarchists in disguise. The commonwealth
must strike down these ambushed foes or
perish in the strife.--New Orleans Times
Democrat.
1t is not so much the "weak judge but
the unscrupulous lawyer and the plastic
jury" that have thus brought only disap-
pointment and mockery to the people of
Louisiana. However, were it not for the
"plastic jury" the inscriptions law
yer" would not be able to menace Society
by protecting the criminal element.

insufficient Moral Stamina.

Alexandria Town Talk: Not only is the
jury system failure in this parish, but
something else besides. The atmosphere
in which these men are brought up is nox-
ious and poisonous. The type of religion
which they are taught is not sufficiently
strenuous and powerful to make life cleaner
and more upright. The influences which
they imbibe from the drift Of public senti-
ment are insufficient to furnish sufficient
moral stamina to enable men to do their
duty in strong and helpful way toward
society, of which they are part and por-
ton. All this has to do with creating the
material which goes into the jury box to
discard the charge of the judge, to shame
the name of the law, and to contradict the
plainest of evidence in the interest of crime
itself. Let that sentence of Judge
Blackman's 'make these fellows who take
human life, pay the penalty Of their crime,"
become the creed of moral belief and the
line of practical action in this parish. Let
teachers of religion in this parish give a
good long and serious month to revival
work in the teaching of Gods ten COM
mandments; let the instructions in the
public schools, the fountain of secondary
guidance and influence in the life of child
hood, instruct the children from time to
time, that to keep the law of the land in
which they live is a part of their bounden
duty, and let the home, the primary seat
of influence and helpfulness put more moral
fibre and discipline in the lives of the
children. Less "honey," less staffy,'
less miserable excuse for wrong doing and
we will soon have better state of things.

Shreveport Caucasian: There is only
one way to enforce the law, and that is tc
enforce it. The violator of the law who is
deliberate in his action is entitled to nc
sympathy or leniency whatever.
Claiborne Guardian-Journal: There is
a mighty hue and cry going up for the
enforcement of the law, but it will never
be enforced so long as those who violate il
get the backing of those who have the
reputation of good citizens
Vermilion News: Gen. ThomasJ. Shaffer
OF Franklin, recently elected Major Gen.
eral of the Louisiana Division, United
Confederate Veterans, was among the first
who left Louisiana for the 'front.' He was
member of the First Louisiana (Dreux)
Battalion, which served during the first
year of the war on the Virginia Peninsula.
A more gallant officer than Gen. Shaffer
could not have been selected.
Shreveport Journal, Tuesday: Thurs
day night the good men and women of
Shreveport will assemble at the parish
court house to demand enforcement of the
prohibition law at the hands of the city
parish officials who have taken a solemn
oath to enforce all the laws. You, who
read this, stop for moment and ask YOUR
self this question: Gam on the side of
the n-horn gamblers and the blind tiger
operators, or am with the men and women
who stand for decency, clean morals and
law enforcement?'' That's all there is to
this question in Shreveport at the present
tlme-lt is a contest between, those who
stand for law and those who would disre-
gard the law.

Commission with its top-heavy officials.
out OF existence. We believe there is work
for game commission to do, and we want
to see the game protected, but we are op-
posed to this Miller Ponder salarv-grab-
bling combination. Why should the tax
payers be called upon to pay salary of
S3,6OO year to an attorney for the Game
Commission? 1t is all out of reason and
should not be. Game protection is right
and proper, but Miller and his ponderous
legal adviser are not the men to make the
COMMISSION success. Unless better
method can be devised the commission
should be abolished. 1t is top heavy, any,
way, and needs pruning.

The struggle of the Confederate soldiers
for liberty suffers not by comparison with
the proudest conflicts of ancient or modern
times. Their loyal devotion to principle,
their fidelity, their courage, their lofty
purpose and unsullied patriotism-all con-
spire to stamp the struggle with the impress
of imperish able grandeur, and every effort
made to preserve Confederate history
should receive the hearty cooperation of
every true citizen of the South.
