agement of the Banner finds particular
pleasure in serving one 80 universally
popular among it's readers as is Congress
man Watkins and has in the past ever

letter referred to follows:
House of Representatives, U. ST.
Committee on Revision OF the Laws.
Washington, D. c., May 8, 1911
Mr. Edpard Hines, Chicago, I'LL.
Dear Sir:
My attention is called to the article in
the Shreveport Times of April 9th, which
/ herewith enclose. It processes to Gull
statements from Golfers Weekly and from
the evidence of Herman H. Heller and
W. H. Cook of Chicago in the Lorimer
case, which statements are attributed to
you, and in which it is claimed that you
used undue influence on the Southern
Democrats in Congress when the tariff bill
was up for consideration two years ago.
As this charge is made by newspaper
which has broad circulation and is OF
such standing as to be considered the
organ of the State administration of Lou
isiana, l request that you reply to it in
such terms as you think appropriate under
the circumstances.
So far as l know or believe, any state
ment that any of the Southern Democrats
in Congress were unduly influenced in
their votes for the tariff on rough lumber
is malicious falsehood, and | 80 de-
nounce it.
If civil or criminal action for libel
should grow out of these charges | will
testify that | knew or heard of no effort to
use any undue influence on any member
of Congress in connection with the tariff
bill. knew that the lumbermen were
trying to procure the tariff Of 50 per thou
sand on rough lumber to be retained as il
was; but it was reduced to 81 by the
House of Representatives and increased
from that to S1.50 by the Senate. and
finally fixed at S1.25 per thousand in con-
ference, at which amount it now is.
We Southern Democrats, with few ex-
ceptions, voted for the Canadian recipro-
city agreement at this session of Congress,
and also for the farmers free list for bag
ging, ties, agricultural implements etc., in
both if which acts rough lumber is placed
on the free list.
The last tariff bill which was passed was
a Republican measure. The Democrats
endeavored to get in such measures as
would produce the necessary revenue to
run the government without carrying pro-
lection with it, This the one dollar tariff
on rough lumber did. 1t was not possible,
with Republican majority in that Con-
gress, to frame Democratic tariff bill.
am the representative from the Fourth
Congressional District Of Louisiana, and
as the Shreveport Times is published at
Shreveport, La. in that district, feel that
am the proper one to request you to
make the correction.
Yours truly,
j. T. WATKINS.

utmost, but thank God time was against
him and he was held in check, otherwise
he would have demonstrated, in all proba-
bility, where the schools were not even
considered in politics, since one of our good
friends took the position III his paper, which
was not political co that the schools of this
State had been entirely eliminated from
politics; whereas, every man, woman and
child, and particularly the school teachers,
know that it is so STEPPED in politics over
the entire State, in every parish and in
every ward and precinct, that merit and
ability do not count, but political pull and
the manner in which the male members and
relatives vote is the gauge by which posi-
tons are secured, Was not the suffragette

There is an enormous amount of
moral corruption in the world. The
faint of sin is upon the race. Sodom
and Gomorrah were not only historic
cities, but they stand as types of
moral corruption from which the world
has never been free. Whatever the
influence of corrupt morals may be
upon mankind in the future life, one
thing is certain in this life: 1t means
degradation, crime, poverty, disease
and untold misery. The history of
moral corruption since the world began
has been and is the history of degra-
dation and unparalleled physical,
mental, social and spiritual suffering.

There is place for every man in
life. If he finds his place and fills it
his life is worth it's name. IF he misses
his place he it like rusty cogwheel
in the foundry back yard.
