of trying to lay the mistakes Of man
onto the Almighty is not only unfair
but in1pious. The universe is govern
ed by immutable law Man-made law
sometimes operates and sometimes it
does not, but the law that governs the
universe always works. We violate it
often through ignorance and sometimes
willfully but in either event we suffer
the penalty or somebody else, as in the
case of the dead child, suffers the penal
ty incurred by Our ignorance or folly.
A good shrare of the criminals as
we'll as the imbeciles and other defect
ives, are criminals on account of hered-
ity The sins of the fathers are visit
ed on the children. It is a tremendous
burden that ignorance and folly lays on
the shoulders of humanity.

THE BANE OF IGNORANCE

Topeka Kan Mail and Breeze: It
was the funeral of little chiid-just
baby The preacher made a soothing
talk to the effect that God had plucked
this fair flower from the earthly garden
IN order that He might transplant it
into the garden of Paradise. Perhaps
the preacher believed what he said and
in any event, his talk was comfort to
the grieved parents. 1t is preposterous
however, TO suppose that Almighty God
had deliberately killed baby in order
that He might have it in Paradise.
The child died because the people in
charge of it were ignorant of the laws
Of life. They didn't know how to take
care of the poor little thing and as a.
result il had to pay with its life the
penalty for their ignorance Or it may
be possible that the fault began away
back before the child was born. 1t may
have inherited disease from remote an
cestors, proving correctness of the state
ment that the sins Of the fathers are
visited on the children Anyway, it is
wrong to put the blame on God when
the fault was with the ancestors, near
Or remote. of that child.
Every individual who dies from dis
ease dies the victims Of human ignor-
ance or wiliful disobedience to the di-
fine law of life. Every defective. ev-
ery Inbecile, every born cripple. every
insane patient found in any of the hos
7itals for the insane is the result Of
somebody's ignorance or willful dis
obedience Of the divine law of life.

regard to the claim that the city of Lake
Charles is independent of the parish of
Calcasieu, and not bound by its laws and
ordinances, Judge Overton stated that
the right of the city of Lake Charles to
act independent of the parish in the mat
ter of a prohibition election had been
taken from it by the Legislature by a
later act, this point having been fairly
and squarely before the State Supreme
Court in the case of Monroe, where
the conditions were exactly the same as
they are in Lake Charles as well as in
other cases.
The court also stated that decision
of the United States Supreme Court
was that when liquor entered a State it
became subject to the laws of that
State
Discussing these points and the defni-
ton of the word wholesale, Judge Ov-
erton said that all laws covering or
touching upon one subject must be con
0ld0iCd toSCthSl anu III CoIlIDilIdLlol,
and he therefore felt sure that the in
tent of the Legislature wah to make
wholesale transaction one where goods
were sold in not less than specified
quantities for the purpose of resale
Judge Overton's Interpretation is re-
sponsive to common sense. The intent
of the law is plain A wholesaler of
liquor may sell in specified quantities as
provided by law for resale, but it is not
legal for wholesaler to sell to any in
dividual for his own use 1t must be
for sale at retail
This case may be appealed to the Su-
preme Court.

1t is stated in a special to the Times
Democrat from Washington that mem
bers of the House and Senate commit
tee before which the exposition resolu-
tons are pending have received letters
signed by the ten members of Con
gress from California reiterating all the
arguments in behalf of San Francisco
and particularly urging that action be
taken at this session. Concern for
louisiana welfare is a feature of the
missiVe. The following is an excerpt
We ask for speedy action for sew
eral reasons. Among these is the fact
that the city of New Orleans, which
also desires the exposition, proposed to
raise $I,2oo,ooo among her business men
and 100000 by special tax to be voted
upon III connection with a constitutional
amendment to be submitted to the vot-
ers of Louisiana at the election to be
held next November In Justice to the
people of Louisiana they ought to know
whether Congress will designate New
Orleans as the place for an international
exposition to commemorate the opening
of the canal, so that they may be able
to vote intelligently upon this constitu-
tional amendment. If they are not to
have the exposition, in all probabilities
they will not want to burden themselves
with the 100000 special tax, for the
money could not be used for any other
purpose than that of the exposition
In the second place, prompt action
at this session is urged because the
time is short to make a successful expo
sition. Both Chicago and St. Louis be-
gan too late, and had to postpone their
openings year behind the centenaries
they were commemorating Then, too,
It IS confidently believed that the. canal
will be completed before 1915. which |
makes it all the more important that
work be commenced forthwith, if the
completion of the canal and the opening
If the exposition are to be contempt
-aneous.
Evidently the Californians have given
Up hope of getting further action than

nittee. In the beginning they were de-
ermined to have their resolution passed

we're planning to quarry out a two

WHAT WILL BECOME OF OUR
CHILDREN.

Dedicated to the w. T. c. u. of N. Y.
Wrung from the lips of the mothers Of
men,
Charged with an anguish no others may
ken,
Rises the heart-cry OF Rachel again,
What will become of our children?
Drink Swallowed firesides of village and
Summon the guards of the hearth-stone
to arm,
Lifting to heaven that cry of alarm,
What will become of our children
Down in the hell of the city retreat,
Voiced in the jargons of alley and street
Run1-ridden millions the question repeat
What will become of our children?
Born in the wedlock of passion and
drink,
Sunset and sick ere they learn how to
think,
Damned to defeat from the cradles
white brink,
What will become of our children?
Shaving for sustenance others should
earn,
What will become of our children
Buying with blood what the dram-shop
will burn,
Robbed of their birthright to play and
to learn,
What will become of our children?
Troubled, the far-visioned prophets of
State,
Ask themselves, How can the nation
grow great?
Ask, as they scan the red records of
fate,
What will become of our children?
Herod still slays-and, in hovel and hall,
Poor little brothers Of Bethlehem fall,
While from His manager Christ challen-
ges all,
What will become of our children
Answer, Q, land on which heaven has
smiled
Answer Q, Church of the Bethlehem
Child!
Speak! if the Rum-Beast if left to run
wild,
What will become of our children!

ACTION BRINGS YOU SUCCESS
Forever stars are winging
Their swift and endless race;
Forever suns the swinging
Their mighty globes. through space.
Since by His law required
To join Gods spheres inspired
The earth has never tired,
But wlirled and whirled and Whirled
Forever streams are flowing,
Forever seeds. are growing,
Always is Nature showing
That action rules the world. s
And since by God requested
To be, the glorious light
Has never paused or rested,
But travelled day and night.
Yet pigmy man, unseeing
The purpose of his being,
Demands escape and freeing
From universal force.
But law is law forever,
And, like a mighty lever,
1t thrusts him toward endeavor,
And speeds him on his course.

THE CHILD LABOR LAW

There are interests whose view OF
the child is measured by an equivalent
in dollars and cents, and it is this inter
est which is striving for the repeal or
the modification of the child labor law.
Such bill is now pending in the Leg
islature. The champions of the child
labor law are women, with Miss Jean
Gordon of New Orleans as the leader.
A score of pretenses have been offered
with the view of multiplying the effects
of the law, which is to protect the child.
It is related from Baton Rouge that
Miss Gordon and Miss Roydon Doug
les, president of the Era Club, and a
score of the fair women of Baton Rouge
worked indefatigably three days to pre-
pare sitting that would help them
win the House committee to their sup
port, which they have secured. 1t is
promised there is TO be no tinkering
with the present law
In the course of the argument it was

ing on the stage was detrimental to the
progress of art, but it was demonstrated
that very few of the prominent actors
on the stage today started in the swad-
dlings. The youngest to start her ca
reer, said Miss Gordon, was aged IS
years.
The child labor law is a blessing to-
the child, who, if the law were repealed,
would be compelled to grow in ignor-
ance while shaving for a pittance
One of the staunchest supporters of
the law and one of the friends of Miss
Gordon is James Blenk, Archbishop of
New Orleans. In letter to Miss Cor
don he says The reasons. and motives
which brought about the enactment of i
the child labor law are, in my opinion,
50 just and so overwhelmingly strong,
that | would consider it misfortune if |

POPE'S BIRTHDAY
The Head of the Catholic Church Sew

Il has been announced from Rome
that there was no formal celebration of
the seventy-ffth birthday of the Pope
June 2. as is customary among Italians
70 celebrate the same day rather than
the birthday anniversary. Nevertheless
many of the cardinals, Vatican officials
and other churchmen called upon the
pontiff and offered their congratulations
The two sisters of the Pope passed the
greater part of the day with him.
Plus x has now occupied the chair
of St. Peter for nearly seven years, hav-
ing been elected to succeed the late
Pope Leo XIII on August 4, 1903. In
origin Plus K is in many respects the
opposite of his predecessor, who was of
sristocratic birth and a deep scholar.
The parents of the present pontiff were
humble peasant folk, but deeply re-
l,gious. The Pope retains much OF the
peasant spirit During his administra.
ton he has displayed great zeal in all
his work, and has shown rare ability as
an organizer. He is an eloquent prel IL

THE REFORMED POSTER.

At the convention of the international
Poster Printers Association held in Gin
cinnati a few days ago a resolution was
adopted decreeing that all pictures sug-
gestive of lewdness and obscenity
should go from the billboards. The con-
vention decided that the laws of pro-
priety and taste should extend to the
theatrical poster and hereafter what the
newspapers exclude the poster printers
will also turn down Honesty and de-
cency pay in the long run, hence there is
no reason to believe that the association
of poster printers will ever have occa-
sion to regret eliminating tights and
shockingly abbreviated skirts from bill
boards.-New Orleans States.
And now following this good example
some newspapers, whose patrons and
readers are reputable, should eliminate
from their columns the advertisements
which are not only suggestive but in
some instances offensive to good morals.

WILD WELLS
Senator Barrett Hears from DR.. Day

The States special dated Bator
Rouge, June 3, says: During his visit
to Washington Senator Barret, Presi
dent Hardtner of the Conservation
Commission, and Mr. Robert Ewing
visited the United States Geological
Survey and had an extended talk with
Director George Otis Smith and his as
sistants on the question of the closing
of the wild wells in the Caddo oil field
All expressed the opinion that there
were no insuperable obstacles in the
way
Mr.. David T. Day, who has sev4a9l
times visited the Caddo field, told the
party that Mr. J. c, Mcdonald was an
authority on the subject, and had closed
worse wells than those in Caddo. 1t was
agreed that DR. Day should wire Mr..
Mcdowell to come to Washington to
meet the Louisianians. He did so, but
got word that Mr.. Mcdowell was out
of town.
Thursday Senator Barrett had let
ter from DR.. Day in which he said he
had received letter from John G. Pew,
one of the principal gas men of Pitts
burg, who said he had a man who could
successfully undertake the closing of
the wells. Dr. Day said that Mr.. Nc
Dowell was at Texarkana now, and
urged Mr.. Barret to get into touch with
him at once. Mr.. Mcdowell, he said,
was the best natural gas expert in the
country.
Senator Barrel went to Shreveport
last night in an effort to get in touch
with Mr.. Mcdowell.
