THE CITY'S TAX ON
VITALITY

The Napoleonic wars 50 drained
the flower of French manhood
that even today the physical
stature of the average Frenchman
is nearly half an inch below what
it was at the beginning of Ma
poleon's reign. 4
The country in America today is
constantly paying a similar tri-
butte to the city in the sacrifice
of it's best blood, it's best brain,
the finest physical and mental
fiber in the world. This great
stream of superb country man.
hood, which is ever flowing city
ward, is rapidly deteriorated by
the softening, emasculating in
fluences Of the city. until the sn-
perior virility, stamina and sturdy
qualities entirely disappear in two
or three generations of city life.
Our city civilization is always in
a process of decay, and would. in
few generations. become emascu-
lated and effeminate were it not
for the pure, crystal stream OF
country youth flowing steadily
into and purifying the muddy,
devitalized stream Of city life. 1t

SCREENS SAVE DOCTOR

The important work Of human
lty IN the future vii be fighting
not the big, mOnstfous animals as
in the past, but the little enemies
and especially, the invisible enc
mics. Men must kill off their
small enemIes-the rats, thai
spread the bubonic plague and
other diseases; the flies, the mos
qultoes-they are the relatively
big enemies. And, after fighting
them, they must fight the micro
scoplc, invisible germs, more dan
gerOus still.
Keep out the flies, keep out the
mosquitoes. Put up your fly
screens now, if you haven't them
up already. It is very simple to
close up every door with wire
screen that shuts itself with a
spring, and to shut out the insects
with screens on the windows.
There is more health in house
well screened against insects than
n many a doctors visit.

THE NEW ORDER.

We are done with all the butchers.

And from hence wen live on sea

Iheir tlcSh is sweet and tender.
No germs are lurking there.
And steak viii cost so little
There will be no cause to swear
COUSIN Bob will have our bles-

And TO him we will be true
While the sea COWS eat the lilies
SO the STEAMBOATS, can pass

Then the butchers all will see

From brand-ncw point of view
And because Of Bob fine sea

They will cut their price in two.

If NOT A RING, WHAT?

! We notice by the daily paper
Of New Orleans that the Goo
Government League had decided
to name n full state ticket fol
the coming primary including th'
two senatorships and the state OF
fees,
We should like to ask if thl'
is not worse than ring methods
or any othcr-method for a Ger
tain lot Of men to get together
and name a ticket for the rest OF
the state to vote without any rep
resentation from the people in
general This is away back be-
yond the days Of the convention
to some time and to some met bods
which are. too old for us to re
call. In a convention the people
did have the right to say IN mass
meeting assembled who should be
their delegates to attend the con-
vention, but with the Leaguers
they ask people to pledge them
selves beforehand to support
somebody, whom they do not
know; then the 'big one in the
league meet and decide who shall
be handed to the pledge signers.
This is absolutely a moral viola
ION of the primary principle and
is about the most undemocratic
thing that has been in augurated
in the state since democracy has
been in existence.
What right has any set Of men
to go about pIedging people sbe-
fore hand to support somebody |
FOR Office whom league may ssee
tit to name at some future date
Who is so pure in politics as to |
such implic:t. trust on !

'ank arrogance on the part OF
he organizers Of the league, and
/ grave reflection on the intelI-
renee Of the electorate Of the
tate. What manner of men are
hey and what manner Of men do
hey think the voters Of Louisiana
lappen TO be about this time?

Among the crowds that came TO
Ruston this morning 10 take n
Rock Island train for the reunion
1t Little Rock, Ark, were two.
Did time darkies. who served dur
ing the civil war with their mas
ters and who have lived near
them ever since.
We learned the name of one Of
these old negroes, Henry John
son, who went under the protec-
tion Of Mr. w. II. Bloodshaw
and as the guest of the parish of
Bossier. The darkies old master
informed us this morning that
Bossler parish was paying all the
expenses that Henry is supposed
to be put to in making the trip.
Both these faithful old family
servants and body guards to their
masters during the war, were just
as enthusiastic over making the
trip as any white veteran in the

ABBEVILLE GOES WET.

The saloon election was held
very quietly in this parish today,
and from the present indications
the vote will be for licensing sa-
looms by about 100 votes.
The Third, First, Fourth and
Eighth Wards of the parish voted
to license saloons. Incomplete re-
turns have been received from the
Second, Fifth, Sixth and Seventh
Wards. and these returns indicate
hat the lest namnd wards will
eivs avet1 against licensing -
looms.
The Abbeville poll gave 80 ma
iority for saloons. Gueydan.
Kaplan and Erath all gave ma
iorities for saloons. The drys
have little hope of overcoming
26O majority of the votes report
ed from the dry wards.
Determined work was done by
both factions, and from the start
it was plain that the contest would
be close one.
