SIXTEENTH SUNDAY AFTER

EPlSTLE: That Christ may
dwell by faith In your hearts;
that being rooted and founded
In charity, you may be able to
comprehend with all the saints
what Is the breadth, and length,
and height, and depth.
GOSPEL: Every one that ex-
a!teth himself shall be humbled,
and he that humbIeth himself
shall be exalted.

Resign every forbidden joy; re.
strain every wish that is not referred
to Gods will; Danish all eager desires,
all anxiety. Desire only the will OF
God; seek Him alone, and you will
find peace.

Southern Road BUILDING.

From the Memphis Commercial Appeal
1t is encouraging to note the increased
interest in Southern road building. The
recent report of Secretary Wilson, of the
Department of Agriculture, will give an
impetus to the future work.
For many years, while not openly, the
Northern press has been inclined to speak
slightly of the slothfulness of the South
in road building and the lack of civic
pride in this respect.
The annual report of the Secretary
shows that S44,0O0,000 was expended in
the Southern States alone during the last
year.
This should be convincing proof that
the South has awakened to the Importance
of the good roads movement.
While Tennessee does not make the
conspicuous showing one might desire,
yet the figures prove that this State lacks

long way of being as backward as Other
Southern States

a long way of being as backward as other
Southern States.
Texas heads the list, having expended
more than 81, 600, 900 in road construction.
Texas is s wonderful State and it must
also be remembered that Texas is so much
larger than any other Southern State, that
the opportunities and demands are much
greater also.
It must be admitted that until recent
years the South has been slow in taking
up the important movement. The South,
after the war, was slow to regain its lost
strength. The first movement was direct
ed toward restoring the South to its nat
ural state. This was done, and then,
under the sheltering wings of peace, the
South began to grow, expand and reach
into the North for the wealth that had
been snatched away.
Success speaks for itself. The South
to day has indicated its claim to pros
perity. Having established the fact to the
satisfaction of all states and counties, II
is time to turn the attention toward the
building of roads and highways. This
will be done and will be done as effectively
and as efficiently as the South has done
other things.
The good road movement is now moi
conl..sd to one state or section. 1t Is
spreading throughout the South. Already
the State highway in Tennessee is an as.
sured fact, while plans are being mapped
out for similar highway from Memphis
to New Orleans. 1t is only a question o
a few years. OF course, the South canno
expect to accomplish all that has beer
attained in the North, but there will b.
good roads throughout Dixie.
The figures of Secretary Wilson sur
pass expectations, for even the authorities
watching the advance of road work, ha'
! no idea that so much had been accom-
plished.
Next year will show even better results

A Ward Boss Can Never Be Governor.

From the Lake Charles American-Press,l
The best Democrats of Maryland are
not discouraged at the Democratic defeat
in the recent election; when their State
was the only one in which an election was
held to choose Republican Governor,
says the Times Democrat. How the de-
feat is viewed in Democratic circles is we'll
seen in the following comment of that stall
wart Democratic journal, the Baltimore
Sun:
sMaryland is still Democratic State,
but the Democratic party does not belong
to any machine in city or state, and it has
served notice, once and for all, that it will
not have the city bosses to rule over it."
In other words, the Democrats of Mary
land have done just what those of Louis
lana will do in January-given notice that
under no circumstances will they consent
to placing the control of the State in the
hands of ward boss. The ward bosses
have found it impossible in the last year
or. so to carry even the cities they formerly
held-the popular enthusiasm, independ-
ence and determination are too strong for
them, the people too thoroughly aroused;
and when the bosses attempt to secure
control Of state, to place one of their
number in the office of Governor, and to OPP
crate the State administration as they have
mismanaged and despoiled the cities they
have met everywhere with such repulses
as to shatter their organization to the
! foundation.
Some of their own captains in New Or
leans say how hopeless this task was
before the Maryland election-that for
city bosses to seek control of the State
, Governments. meant not only defeat, but
their ruin, and Mr.. Michel is said to have
taken this view as early as 1900, when
Capt. Fitzpatrick was candidate for the
Governorship, and when he (MicheD pro-
tested against a ward boss being nomi-
mated on the ground that he could not
possibly be elected. That the sentiment
on this point is stronger than ever is shown
by the large majority by which Demo-
cratic ward boss was beaten for Governor
the other day in Maryland, State which
{ would gladly have accepted and elected
any other Democratic candidate. 1t seems
{ astonishing that men like German in
Maryland and Michel in Louisiana should
t hot have had the political sense and for
sight to see what every one outside the
! ring perceives - that nowhere in the
country can a ward boss be elected
7 Governor, that no ward boss to-day occu
pies this high position or ever can hope tc
occupy it. The people do not like and
l will hot have that sort of politics in con

Hon. W. E. Seeber of New Orleans,
formerly member of the Legislature ana
one of the ward bosses in that city, has
deserted the Michel ranks. So it will be
seen that the city ward bosses excepting
Mr.. Ewing) are not now all solid for the
rings candidate for Governor. Mr.. See
Der gives ) his reason for his action that
he has found that Mr.. Michel will be IN
evitably beaten. The New Orleans Times
Democrat which has all along supported
Judge Hall and the cause of the Good
Government League, says: 1--WE shall
hear of more assertions of this kind from
day to day as the news slips in from the
country that the parishes will not have
ward boss for Governor. Pollu-
clans who know the game and play 1t well
are not likely to sacrifice themselves Tor

and Seeber see, is already defeated

The New York police force in their
campaign against gambling in that city
arrested 1875 boys charged with gambling
in the streets. To the casual and dis
FASHIONED observer this would perhaps
appear little short of indicating an alarm
ing condition. And it would, may be, If
we but knew what number escaped ap-
prehension. However, it should born be in
mind that New York is very large city,
shelterng many thousands of boys, hum
dreds of whom have never had the benefit
of even the slightest moral training and
are but Arabs of the streets. But to be
plain about the matter, doesn't New York
offer fine field for the missionary?

Is DIR. AsweIl a Reformer?
From the Red River Democrat

From the Red River Democrat
Has DR.. Aswell or Hon. John T. Michel
contributed one cent in money, one mo-
ment of time, or one thought toward strik-
ing. from the registration rolls in New Or
leans the thousands of illegal and fraudu-
lent voters found thereon? No. What
has either of these candidates done
towards taking from the city ring its. ficti-
tious and fraudulent vote by which it has
been able in the past to defy the people?
Absolutely nothing. If DR.. Aswell is a
reformer why hasn't he and his friends
attempted to do something towards secur-
ing an election where the will Of the peo-
pie will prevail and not that of the city
bosses? Is he in good faith when he de-
clares he is in favor of remedial laws for
the common masses? He has not uttered
one word against the New Orleans and
State machine; he has not even praised
the magnificent work done by the Good
Government League in making fair cleo
ton possible. He abuses Judge Hall and
the league and only incidentally mentions
the name of Mr.. Michel. He knows that
the league stands for reforms demanded
by the great body of the people. Hall is
brave and honest to the very core and
will carry out every pledge he may make
during the campaign. It is therefore, diff
fcult to believe that DR.. Aswell is good
faith reformer. He seems to be willing to
bury the Good Government League and
all it stands for, if by so doing he can be
elected Governor of this State. We dc
not believe the people will be deceived
into accepting him at his word but will
wisely measure him by his work and acts
in this contest.

Monroe Independent: One John c.
Moore, an Aswell rough-rider of Shreve-
port, has been to Ouachita and goes back
with the information that Aswell will carry
the parish. He says, too, that the Aswell
meeting in Monroe was a surprise to the
Hall and Michel contingents. 1t may
have been surprise to the Hall people in
the sense that the Michel following joined
in it to help boost Judge Hall by 'knock-
ing'' him, but it could hardly have been a
surprise to the Michelites who turned out
to a man, and put up the "dough" te
finance it.

Development by Home People.

From the Lake Charles Amercan-Press.]
The feasibility of community doing its
own development work, instead of waiting
for the ever-shy 'outside oapitap' to take
up the task is the subject of a recent edi-
torial in the Palestine (Texas) Daily Her.
aid which is we'll worthy of the attention
of Lake Charles people. It is not too
much to say that within the past ten years
Lake Charles people have wasted enough
money in extravaganza and foolish invest
ments outside of the parish to have had
every acre of land adjacent to the city in a
high state of cultivation. Besides the
actual losses to the community incurred
by these foolish investments, they lead the
possible investor from other states to be-
ieve that there are no investments worth
having in the neighborhood of Lake
Charles; and so, with failure to secure
either home or foreign investments, our
resources remain undeveloped. Before we
can persuade outsiders to place their
money here, it will be necessary for US to
show our faith in the country by investing
some Of our own money. The Herald
says:
''The Herald is persuaded that there is
plenty of money, brains and energy here to
develop this section, to settle the idle
lands, and to bring prosperity from the
fields and orchards if it could once be di-
rected in the rich channel. We are per-
suaded that this is true, because our peo-
pie have always proven equal to the tasks
put before them. AS this paper sees the
proposition of locating people on these
lands it must be done by colonization
methods. In other words our men OF
means must buy these lands in tracts and
divide them up, and sell them on long time
and easy payments to settlers. This can
be done, and by the home people.
"The Herald has observed for the past
several years that every now and then
some company will send an agent in here
with land scheme, the lands located in
some other part OF the State, and sell q
good block of the stock to Palestine men
+ These men must think such investment
safe and desirable. And if land offers il
other sections are good, why not here a
home, where we know conditions? Com.
ing right down to brass tacks; isn't it be.
cause the outside fellow puts up a gooe
line of talk that makes you buy? Well
} why net let's make this talk ourselves ane
sell our lands? This is matter that need
careful consideration and prompt action
} We have the lands, and there are thou
sands of people who could be benefited b,
J owning them.
} Thousands upon thousands of dollar
have been paid by Palestine men for othe
peoples lands. Why not put this none,
, into home lands and keep this investmen
at home and make the profit here?"
