WHO LUGGED THE EXPOSITION
INTO POLITICS7

The alleged Good Government Leag
ers, better known as the "Also Rams,
seem to deplore the fact that the Expo.
sition will be 1ugged into politics, wher
they themselves were the first and only
ones who have ever suggested such a
possibility. OF course, they try to play
innocent, but that is part of their little
2x4 scheme TO defeat the Democratic
party IN Louisiana, but it will not sue
ceed.-Monroe News Star.
From the Caucasian's view the Mon
roe NeWs-Star is misled through its
zeal in opposition to the "Good Govern
Iaent Leaguers." The facts as devel-
oped would indicate that the responsible
1ty for "lugging the exposition into poll
ties should rest on the thirty commit
tee1nen of the exposition management
who urged Governor Sanders to decline
the United States senatorship, to which
he had @been elected by an almost unani-
rfnoes vote Of the General Assembly of
Louisiana.
To use tart expression, the people
are onto the game" The people may
be fooled sometimes, but not all the
time.
From broad national view, Sanders
as United States Senator could render
the State greater service as applied to
the exposition than as Governor, but as
Senator of the United States he could
not control and manipulate the political
machine as operated in New Orleans.
It was and is just as easy for the peo-
pie to see through this political scheme
as It is to see The hole through grind
stone. q.
It may be said that the men who are
connected with or are in sympathy with
the proposed movement of the Good
Government Leaguers" are more Sc
riousiy concerned in good government
IN Louisiana than they are in securing
an exposition, which may be controlled
BY and manipulated in the interest of
politicians and @old party leeches."
If there has been, and evidently there
has been. grievous blundering, the re-
sponsibility must rest not on the Good
Government Leaguers" but on the direc-
tors of the Panama Exposition Com
pany, who induced Governor Sanders to
decline the United States senatorship
and to remain at home, to keep the po-
litical machine free from the clutches
of individuals who would, in time, set
aside and ignore whatever scheme or
schemes have been programmed to keep
the State within the power by which
i IS now held under subsection.
AZ any rate, if we were in favor of |
the exposition as planned and as it is
being managed, we would refrain from |
the unnecessary criticism of the "Good
Government Leaguers.' who have votes
and influence, and whose influence may /
be directed against the Panama EXPOSE /
ton and against those who are respon-
sihls for having lugged it into politics.

4 DEMOCRATIC SENATOR FROM
MAINE.

New Orleans States 1t required fifty
years for the mills of the gods in Maine
70 get started, but they have at last
ground the Republican organization so
exceedingIy fine that it may disappear
entirely. IF the Democratic victory had
been confined to the State ticket excuses
could have been found and it would
have been attributed to local issues, but
this ean not be done when for the first
time in thirty years two Democratic
congressman are elected who made their
campaign on the issue of tariff revision.
But the greatest shock to the leaders of
the Republican national organization is
the capture of both branches of the
Legislature by their opponents. It
means that in January Democrat will
be elected to the United States Senate,
and what has heretofore seemed too
much Like miracle to be hoped for, is
to be performed.
Maine will send a Democrat to the
Senate as that State has not done in a
period Of sixty-three years, as the last
Democratic senator from Maine was
James w. Bradley who was chosen in
Is47. The last Legislature included 12s
Republicans and 50 Democrats, but as

Have Holes In Ground to Put Them In
While Sitting.
Judge ]. Il. P. Murray, the British
lieutenant governor of Papua, saws
that he has never heard the natives
speak of pygmies-a race of whom is
reported to have been discovered there
-Dut stories of men with tails were
common among them.
Judge Murray once chatted with a
Papuan who alleged that he had ac-
tually been in a village inhabited by
men with tails. Their houses had holes
In the ground for the reception of their
tails when they sat down.
These stories. says Judge Murray
are rather curious in view of the fact
that there are no monkeys in the great
equatorial island.

INFLUENCE OF THE MOTHER
Well to Remember That She Is Ever
a Model of Behavior to the
Children.

ut is hard for young mother, who
has not yet overcome the Maynard
tendencies of her own youthful nature,
to realize the influence she exerts
over her little one. She is constantly
surrounded by critical imitators who
copy her morals and manners.
AS the mother is, SO are her sons
and daughters. II family of children
are blessed with an intelligent moth
er, who is dainty and refined in her
manner, and does not consider 1t nee
essary to be one woman in the draw
ing room and an entirely different per-
son in her everyday life, but who is a
true mother and always a tender,
charming woman, she will invariably
see her habits of speech and perfect
manners repeated in her children.
Great, rough men and noisy, busy
boys will always tone down their
voices and step quietly and try to be
more mannerly when she stops to
give them kind word and pleasant
smile. For true woman will never
fail to say and do all the kind, pleas.
ant things she can that will in any
way help to lift up and cheer those
whose lives are shaded with care and
toll. The mother of today rules the
world of tomorrow.

CROSS SECTION SHOWING POST &
cuRTAiM WALLS g. REINFORCING

Steel Get the reinforcement run from
the bottom of the hole to the top of
the post. Let the posts come up just
even with the top of your curtain
wall. Excavate a transverse trench
across the middle of the post, the
trench feet long and IL feet deep,
about 6 inches wide. When you fill
the post mold with concrete, fill this
trench. 1t runs out like the roots OF
a tree on either side. Reinforce this
also. When you put up the post
mould, 1t will be 12x12 inches on the
inside and will embrace the ends OF
the curtain walls. Take flour pastS
and cover the ends of the curtain
walls with heavy paper so that they
will not adhere to the concrete of the
posts. This will let them continue to
contract and not crack by being held
rigidly. You are now ready for the
cap. 1t also must be well reinforced.
The wire of the fence should come to
the top of the cap. II need not be
more than inches thick and may be
continuous. With the cap on, the wall
is complete, and while 1t has taken
the minimum Of material 1t has i'm
mense strength. 1t has also the ap,
pearance of solid concrete wall.

Some years ago there was published
In the Gazette design for building
walls of concrete for farm use. The
Idea was of a thin curtain wall, only
inches thick, carefully reinforced
and held by buttresses or concrete
posts at distances of about 10 feet
apart. II there is much pressure
against the wall it will be better to
put these buttresses only feet or s
feet apart. Since published my plans
have seen several walls that had
been built in the manner described,
and know that they are all right.
have also learned something of how
one can best do the work and have
no cracking at all. writes Joseph E.
Wing In Breeders Gazette. Bear now
well In mind that this, while it looks
like a wall, is really on the principle
of a concrete fence, the thickness of
the part between supports being but
4 inches, capped with a 4-inch cap 16
