As TO KISSING

Concerning the kiss and its
origin, opinions differ. Some
wise men declare that the kissing
habit is one of the remains of
cannibalism, and that its beginning
was nothing more than the
carniverous IMPULSE to bite.
When primitive man gave a kiss
be expressed an affection equal to
his love for his food. The kiss
meant, Il love you we'll enough to
eat you"
1t is certain that kissing was one
of the most ancient customs, says
Harper's Weekly. 1t was current
among the ancient Jews and is
well known among all Orientals.
Nor is it to disappear. Exalted
by the dying act of m ore than OF e
historical hero, sung by all the
poets, from Solomon onward, the
kiss is here to stay. The world
could not do without it.

TWO BRANDS OF REPUBLICANS

a standpatter used to be a bold
and loyal republican who was
satisfied with the traditions and
principles of his party, the highest
measure of protection for the
benefit of the few to plumber the
many. Now the standpatters are
on the defensive, or have crawled
into their holes and are waiting
until the political cyclone blows
over. On the other hand, in
surgent republicans are very much
in eviednce and also declare they
believe in "the principle of
protection" with a dash of the
Roosevelt New Nationalism"
thrown in to give the protection
principle more popular flavor.
Judging from samples of the
two brands of repudblicanism now
before us, there is not much to
choose between them; but if
obliged to take one or the other,
the Taft brand seems to have the
better taste for Taft has tried to
DO something-even on the tariff
whereas Teddy did nothing but
tell what he was going to do.
Always big things promised for
the future, changing as. the
political weather vane alters, is
the Colonel's plan of campaign.
Whittier would Roosevelt lead
US with his New Nationalism, that
means one thing in Kansas. a
different thing in Indiana, and
still different things in New York?
There must be stability about
political principles, or we would
ever be on an unknown sea with
crazy pilot which means a ship
wreck of our hopes of reform.
For seven long years was Roosevelt
president of the United States,
and he kept the country in a
turmoil; so much so. that business
was disturbed and the worst panic
on record was the result. Not
reform was accomplished Not a
trust was prevented from plumber
iEg. Not one malefactor of great
wealth was nearer a Jail for all of
the Roosevelt --aving.
If you hire a man for a certain
work at which he processes to be
an epxert, and he shows no good
results in seven years, what do
you do?
You bounce him, and do not care
to act upon his advice thereafter.
That is what sensible people have
done with Roosevelt. He is too
erratic to follow; he breaches
too much, but his deeds do not
match with his words.

IN MEMORIAM.

In memory OF our dear little friend
Gilbert O'Neal, known by all OF the
young people as Glib, who passed
from this earth Thursday, Deem
Der 16, 1909.
We sometimes think it is almost
too hard to give him up, so young
and in such way; but still We KNOW
God doeth all things we'll. and feel
that he was taken for some cause.
Glib will be missed by every one, es-
pecially by the young people, for he
was always the life of the crowd. de
had friendly word for every one. 2.
Gilbert WAS gifted with d noble
character. He was congenial, kind
hearted, and was ready at any time
to help one in need. One thing We
admired him so much for was the re-
spect shown by him to his elders. de
was such bright and intelligent boy
in school, always known as one O
the leaders in his class. At home ht
was always ready to turn a willing
hand to help his father and mother
in time of trouble. We know, too
that dear little Ruby will miss him
they were so devoted to one anothe
and he was always her companion
We can not realize that Glib is gone
but still our thoughts will Away
linger by him.
Dear ones do not weep, for our los
is our Fathers gain.
| To Glib we say our last goodbye,
| With hearts bowed down and sore,. !,
But still, dear ones, We must not
| sigh,
For we'll meet him, ahl yes, we'll
meet him on that golden shore.

Marked Evidences Of Change and
Growth.

One of the most notable facts con-
nected with the smaller towns OF Lou
isiana to-day is the large increase IN
the local business houses. The
change in Colfax has taken place
gradually. and has been marked es-
pecially during The past year or two.
1t is highly significant. and an IN
curry as to the cause Of it is OF great
profit. not only to those in the news
piper business. buttoevery business
man and citizen OF our town as well.
The Chronicle has lately shown
evidences of this progress growth
and in spite Of the hard times has
expanded with a liberal advertising
patronage, and start in the New Year
with thunkfulness for the windfall
that has enabled us to pay up cur
rent bills. This has been caused
mostly by the wide-awake merchants
of metropolitan centers advertising
to secure part of our local trade.
The change, in brief, means that local
merchants have found it necessary
to call attention to their goods be-
cause of the immense competition
they face. the most deadly element
of which is that from thegreat stores
of the large cities. These great es-
tn blishmente advertise their wares
most lavishly, and the metropolitan
newspapers which contain their ad
vertisements are distributed over thu
country, some one paper OF which
enters nearly every home. The re
suit is that these metropolitan es
ia hlishments have built up an i'm
mense mail trade. In our town, ant
indeed in most of the towns here
bouts, there is no occasion for thi
out-of-town buying. The duty o
citizens in the matter is plain, ant
where other things are equal supper
should be given local dealers. Gu
merchants have invested their capi
tai, have erected buildings, which ar
the pride Of the city, and have estat
lished concerns which are metropol
tan in character. They have bull
up our little city, and tits only a fai
return that they have the city's trade
T0turn trade otherwise, even in tn
line of small purchases which ar
, great in the aggregate, is to invit

meat saver. for making sugar cured
meat. The recipe is said to be all
right, being Endorsed by the Ma

aud as this is the time of the year
our people usually begin to arrange
to put up their meat, we hope some
of them will give it a trial.
