The Coming Campaign.
Assumption Pioneer.

Those who are of the opinion
that the State campaign, which
will commence with the opening OF
this spring, will be one IN which
the people will be lined on one
side, and the politicians on the
other, are not following closely
the moves which are now being
made under cover. The present
political leaders realize that there
is a general dissatisfaction exist
ing throughout the State against
the manner and methods employ
ed by the State administration and
its friends, and being shrexd in
the fine points of the game, they
know that if the Good Government
League is properly managed. they
will be made to walk the plank.
For these very good reasons, the
seductive voice of the siren is
singing soothing songs in the ears
of certain revolutionary ones, and
feuces are being patched here and
there with the object of weaken
ing the opposition movement as
much as possible.
In the meantime, there are quite
number of political leaders who
are watching the preliminary
moves of the coming contest, bat
are not committing themselves.
This waiting policy will no doubt
be continued until the Panama Elk
position question is finally settled.
If New Orleans is lucky enough to
land the Exposition. it is the gen.
eral impression that the present
political powers, will be greatly
strengthened owing 10 the large
number of positions which will
have to be disposed of.
Still the facts remain, that the
entire State is now entering upon
a period of development along sub
stantial lines, and there is strong
sentiment spreading every day
against the system of State gov
srnment which is not keeping with
this progressive movement.

More Inducement For Labor
(Texas Farm and Ranch.)

One of the problems that must
be solved upon our farms is the
scarcity of reliable farm labor
During recent years prosperity in
other lines has drawn heavily from
the labor available for farm help.
Day labor in factories, shops, mills
and on railroads has held out in
ducements for laborers aud the
farm has suffered as result.
The tide must turn; the truth
must be known, that the farm is
the place for the home of the la
borer and his family. The daily
and monthly wage are not the on
ly inducement for farm labor.
There are many other things that
should appeal to the laborer and
his family, such as home free of
rent, health, Independence, etc.
Many of our land owners have
not considered the fact of increas.
ed standard of living, and increas-
ed inducements in other lines of
work. The farm must keep pace
with other occupations if it retains
the intelligent laborer. Not only
must good wages be given, but

English Women Smoke Pipe,

ff1ff w OIIfOIf 0IIIONO IPC.
The latest fancy Of the woman
smoker is pipe-not the tiny af.
fair that suffices for the japanese,
but good sized brier or a neat
meerschaum. The pipe is boldly
carried along with gold card case
and chain-purse. For some time
now the cigarette has given place
to cigar, small in size and mild
in quality. Women said they were
tired of the cigarette, and wanted
a bigger smoke. - London Mail.
