No More Whisky Advertising.

The Tw1CE-A- WEEK REPUBLIC of st.
Louis, Mo-, makes the announcement that
no more whisky advertising will be printed
in its paper. This will be good news to
most OF our readers. The TWICE-A- WEEK
REPUBLIC is the oldest, biggest and best
metropolitan semi weekly newspaper in the
United States, and by cutting out this line
of advertising it should greatly increase its
circulation in this community. The SUBJ
scription price is 90 cents a year, but for
short time only they will make a special
rate OF three years for 81. Be sure to take
advantage of this liberal offer, and by all
means advise your friends and neighbors of
the fact that all whisky and liquor advertis-
ing has been discontinued and that 81 will
pay for three-yearsubscription Write for

Now comes candidate Aswell with the
announcement that he is in favor of "the
destruction of power that makes it possible
for the Governor to exercise authority as
an autocrat." This from the friend, if not
the author, of the Marks Bill! The same
Aswell who has usurped the right of the
people to control their schools. Aswell,
the high priest of autocrats, condemning
autocracy! We ask for recess in order
that we may weep.

the slate makers put John T. Michel on the
shelf at the behest and dictation of Gov.
Sanders. 1t was great scheme-that
hurry up call to clear the senatorial track
for Gov. Sanders-but it didn't work. The
slate has been smashed to smithereens.
Claiborne Guardian journal: There was
serious objections to the Aswell Admins
tration on account of the frequent change
of text books, which cost the children a
vast sum and on occount of the legislation
which has to large degree placed the adj
ministration of the public schools in the
hands Of the State Board of Education
with its domicile at Baton Rouge.
Mansfield Journal: We bestrew the
casket with flowers, make post-mortem
eulogies, and inscribe eloquent epitaphs
upon the tombstones of dead friends, and
all that is we'll. But as rule we do not
give enough flowers, and speak enough
words of appreciation while they are alive.
One need never fear in bestowing judicious
praise upon others. Usually there is plenty
criticism to balance the account and keep
them humble.
Richland Democrat: With Sanders,
Ransdell, Broussard and Pujo all running
for the same place, it seems to us it ought
to be dead easy for Mr.. Ransdell to win.
A few weeks or months ago this would not
have been true, but now it is. Sanders lost
his golden opportunity when he gave up
his senatorial seat, and we do not believe
now that he will ever realize this ambition.
He is not made out Of the right kind of
stun, and he is now beginning to reap that
which he has been sowing ell these years.

Claiborne was the first Governor of Lou

merchant, for violating the prohibition law.
Sixty thousand acres of land in st. Ber-
nard and Plaquemines Parishes were
bought last week by Chicago and Kansas
City capitalists.
By majority Of fifty-two votes, the
voters of Shreveport defeated the propo-

issue street car transfers and sell tickets to
children at half fare in exchange for an
extension of its franchise to 1854.

ering Of Miuden's business and profess

night for the purpose Of urging the people
of Caddo Parish to continue prohibition by
voting for it at the coming election and to
commend the officials here who have lately
apprehended and brought to justice several
illicit dispensers Of liquor and whom Judge
Sandlin sent to Jail, denying them the right
of escape by paying fines. The wish was
strongly expressed that Shreveport remain
dry because of its close business and social
connection with Mnden and therefore is

mittee OF Big Year

Rcitcrating his already published
statements as 10 the success Of the
trip he made to the Coast Secretary
! n. p Wood of the Promotion Com.
mittee yesterday afternoon told tho
members officially that this year was
4 to he the biggest in the history of the
islands as far as the tourist business
! was concerned. Hawaii Is now known
from one end of the continent to the
other and several of the big booking
agencies who have hitherto not hin-
died passages down here are now
wanting the privilege extended to
them. 'r.s.
II Is boom, boom. boom where ever
you turn on the Coast and all the
, tired and jaded travelling population
are looking for Hawaii to cure them.
He expects that the tourists from the
Northwest will be coming In excep-
tionally large numbers. They are just
starting to wake up TO the fact that
Hawaii is the best place for them to
spend their vacations and besides this
J the business men are also getting wise
! to the idea that there is money to be
made by opening up a trade with the
Islands.
The trip OF the steamer Honolula'eu
from Seattle although a pleasure trip
in one sense Is gotten up primarily
! for the purpose of seeing how mucn
business there IL likely to result from
line of steamers running direct from
/ there to Hawaii.
The Spreckels line of steamers If
they are put on to Australia will not
call here but will run direct. At the
same time the building of the railroad
line to San Diego and the coupling up
of It with the main Spreckels line will
mean an enormous increase In the
trade with Hawaii.
I Everywhere Mr.. Wood went there
was good news to be had. No one
that he ever came across had a bly
word to say for the Islands and for
the first time In history the steamer
,, bookings for here for the month OF
| November are now full up.
Speaking OF the matter of inter-
changeable tickets Mr.. Wood stated
that he worked along these lines In
San Francisco where f. d. Tenney Is
also striving for the same thing but
that the Pacific Mail company will
not agree to It. Mr.. Schwerin. thep
manager stated straight out that they
did not think that the change would

Gives Many Little Points That
May Be Practiced BY All
With Good Results.

In conversation yesterday with very
enthusiastic lady member OF the Rich
mond Humane Society, who is con-
stantly looking into the violations of the
humane laws, she said: | never see a
horse pass with its head checked so high
that every time it stops it begs, by
throwing its head up and back, for re-
lief. without wishing that the same
harsh treatment might be visited upon
the owner or driver. No man can make
a high stepping horse out of a low trav-
eler by any such device, except for the
time the check is on. Too often we ad-
mire the high, proud action, and over
look the means by which it is secured.
Be content with more natural action
and more humane treatment. To GER
tain extent, action can be improved by
exercise in deep straw or over plowed
ground, but, beyond this, what is gained
By the high check rein is at the cost OF
all comfort on the part of the horse.

a shoe, or do you insist in having shoes

blacksmith to fit your horses foot to the
hot shoe, by burning the hoof until there
is equal bearing. To be sure there may
be no evidence of pain, but the soaring
of the hoof structure with a hot iron
never will be permitted by humane
man. That the opera ion Injuries the

unbalances the adjustment Of parts, can
