WHAT THE PAPERS ARE SAYING.

| Atchison Globe: 1t is possible to have
majority, but no candidate ever had the
liars unanimously on his side.
Houston Chronicle: No one who studies
the beginnings of the spread of Christianity
in the book of Acts in the Bible and the
writings of historians, even in the history
of that cheerful pagan Gibbon, can fail to
be struck with the wonder of it's rapid
growth. And no less marvellous has been
the change in the morals and manners of
the fortunate nations in which the heavenly
leaven has begun its work.
Houston Chronicle: What true men most
loathe is falseness. No small part of the
pain experienced by good men in making
Pilgrims Progress through this evil
world is due to the lies, treachery, shams
and pretenses on every side. The glib
tongued lawyer makes the worse appear
the better reason; the quack and charatan
increase the business of the undertaken:
the tradesman gives short weight, and the
financier, wholesale thief, is honored.
while for petty larceny the beggar goes to
prison.
Baltimore Sun: The South has pro-
duced great statesmen, orators and soldiers.
UP to 1861 it dominated the country, at the
same time developing rapidly its material
resources. The census of 1850 showed the
Southern States to be among the wealthiest
in the Union. Its recovery since the blight
OF Reconstruction has been marvellous,
thanks to its industry and heroic self-re-
lance. But at all periods it has produced
inspired men like Poe, Timrod, Simms,
Kennedy, Randall, Gayarre, Ryan and
Lanier, who, in verse and prose, gave ex-
preston to visions of things human and
spiritual that expand, delight and charm
the soul.

THE STATE PRESS.

Homer Guardian-Journal: The income
tax measure which was Federal question,
was proposition that came before the
Legislature, and was defeated with hands
down, though it Democratic measure and
supported by every Democrat in the Ma
tional Congress.
Vermilion News: Louisiana's model
State Senate refused to pass concurrent
resolution requesting the various NUM-
cipalities to prevent the exhibition of NAV
ing pictures of the brutal prize fight in the
lawless State of Nevada. The salary
raising body gave as an excuse that it
would sul..y the statute books. The proper
place for criminal laws are the statute
books.
Homer Guardian journal: The press
reports say the Legislature just adjourned
was the most expensive is the history of the
State, making an appropriation of nearly a
million dollars in excess of the last. The
minority were disposed to economic and
reduce the expenses to a minimum, but
they were handicapped by the majority
which showed but little care about the cost
of their proceedings.
New Orleans Times-Democrat: It can
not but be regarded as most encouraging
sign that the Legislature has actually ad-
jonrned its last session without the little
caucus which runs Louisiana affairs, maxi
ing up a slate, dividing the Offices for 1912
and telling the people for whom they must
vote. 1t is the first time the caucus has
failed US, and it is an indication that there
is some confusion. and division in the small
clique of men who, instead of the people,
have ruled Louisiana latterly. There was
never better time, therefore, for the peo-
pie to act and get their own again.
Monroe News Star: The day of the
personal organ has passed forever in Lou
isiana. The press is free and independent,
and is not tied to any mans coat tail. The
campaign sheet, conceived in spirit of
vindictiveness, has given way to the virile
newspaper, strong and fearless. Men have
grown tired of supplying money to start
newspapers for campaign purposes, and
have ceased to dig down in their trousers
for the necessary" to meet expenses.
1t costs neat sum of money to establish
a legitimate newspaper, and it costs lot
more to operate the plant after it has been
established. Hence, newspaper men and
those who have heretofore contributed
literally towards starting newspapers for
personal organs have realized the folly of
their way, and are fast dropping out OF
business.
