AM0THERS


It is the duty of every expectant
mother to prepare her system for the
coming of her little one; to avoid as
far as possible the suffering of such
occasions, and endeavor to pass
through the crisis with her health
and strength unimpaired. This she
may do through the use of Mothers
Friend, a remedy that has been so
long IN use, and accomplished SO
much good, that it is in no sense an
experiment, but a preparation which
always produces the best results. It
IS for exernal application and so pen
etrating IN its nature as to thoroughly
lubrlcate every muscle, nerve and ten
don involved during the period before
baby comes. It aids nature by ex-
banding the skin and tissues, relieves
tenderness and soreness, and perfectly
prepares the system for natural and
safe motherhood. Mothers Friend
has been used and endorsed by thou
sands OF mothers, and its use will
prove comfort and a benefit to any
woman in need of such a remedy.

BOY HELD FOR RANSOM
Kidnapers Demand $4,000 for Chi
cagO Child.

Chicago, Aug. 8.-Antonio Mareno,
whose 6-year-old son was kidnapped
Saturday, received another letter
last night, in which the demand for
$4,000 was renewed and a threat of
death to the child within four days.
The letter says
"You notified the police. which
caused the delay in the agreement
between us, and it also caused your
son to suffer day and night. He con-
|stantly calls for papa and mama and
the rest of the family.
Certainly you must be miser-
able person to deprive yourself of
so intelligent boy. He is very smart
for his age. We give you four days
time, and if during that time you
don't send the money you will never
see your son again.
There will be an awful fate for
you and your family if you send any
one to trap us-any one who viii
ibetray us to the police when you
bring the money. We are taking bet
ter care of your boy than he will get
| at home"

Broussard Hiqhly Commended.

New Orleans Item: Congressman
R F. Broussard's bold move to save
the Algiers naval station from de-
struction deserves credit" said a
business man "Wednesday. Appeals
of other congressman and CONNER
cial bodies to the Secretary of the
Navy has accomplished little, so ]
for one admire Broussard in making
a play for the favor of President
Taft. The Broussard move can dc
nc harm, and may bring about the
results desired. His colleagues may
ridicule his unexpected trip to
Washington, and say he is playing
politics, but what do the business
interests of New Orleans care whaf
sort of politics he plays, if he saves
the naval station from being dis
mantled and put out of business?"

The End of Baileyism.

Homer Guardian Journal: With
the triumph of the trade agreement
between this country and the Can
adian government, it is to be hoped
that Senator Bailey has lost his in
fluence in the Senate and will tender
his resignation in good faith this
time.
Mr.. Bailey has been conceded to
be the most intellectual and mag
netic debater on the Democratic
side, but unfortunately he has been
using his influence against the DEM
ocratic side and in favor of the pro-
tected interest ever since he has
been ir the Senate. 1t would be much
better for the party and his own
constituency if he were to decline to
become a candidate next time or if
he should be defeated.
His oratorical gift and his superb
presence on the floor of the Senate
seems to command an influence and
respect. Notwithstanding he uses his
talents for mercenary purposes.

NEGROES LEAVING
Spite Trick from Disgruntled Source
Declares Governor Vardaman.

Jackson, Miss, Aug. 8.-Negroes
are leaving Mississippi in droves, ac-
ccrding to reports reaching here
from the plantation districts. Many
had packed up their belongings, it is
said, prior to the primaries last
Tuesday when former Governor j
X. Vardaman was chosen as the can
didate of the Democratic party fol
the United States Senate. This
means practical election as the Re-
publican party has not been repre-
sented in Mississippi in years.
4, The superstitious blacks have
been told, it is declared, that "slav-
cry times" will prevail when Major
Vardaman takes his seat in the SEN
ate.
When informed of the negroes
action in leaving the State, Major
Vardaman said: ITS a spite trick
from disgruntled sources. Every
body knows my views on the niger
question, but the fact remains that
not one negro was lynched during
my term as governor
Governor Vardaman on one oeca-
sion boarded a special train with
himself at the head of militia to
protect negro from lynching.

A Most Estimable LADY Dead.

On Tuesday, August 8, at 6 p.m.,
Mrs. G. A. Carney died suddenly at
Arlington, Texas, where she was Wis
iting friends. Mrs. Carney had
reached the age of 65 years, marked
with the loving devotion which only
"a good mother can give. Of cheer
full temperament, her presence was
as sunshine and her gentle words
were comforting and inspiring. She
was in every sense of the word a
good mother and kind friend. In
deed none knew her but to love her.
From the Holy Trinity Church,
where the mortuary service was
held, the mortal remains were con-
veyed to the st. Joseph Cemetery
and inferred in the presence of a
gathering of her relatives and
Friends.
Her reward is Heaven.
The deceased was the mother of
P. W., Warren A., Linton B., and
Ovid L. Carney, and Mrs. w. P. Boyd,
of Arlington, Texas. H. L. Eubank
Iof Calhoun, La, was her brother.
We extend the fullest measure OF
Isympathy.

THE LEGISLATURE
Men and Not Creatures Should Rep
resent the People.

Monroe Independent: No one will
gainsay the statement that member
ship in the Legislature is the mos
honorable and important position
| the people of the parish can confer
upon citizen. 1t is so because the
Legislature makes the laws by
which the people are governed anC
its acts affect most intimately the
welfare and interests of the people
One, therefore, aspiring to the posi-
ticn should not only be represen-
tative citizen well conversant with
the interests and needs of the peO-
pie, but he should be a man of good
native ability, absolutely honest, and
with courage and backbane to stand
up for his convictions and the inter-
ests of his people. He should be a
man who knows the right and will
do the right. Any man witnout these
sterling attributes should not be
considered for moment. There is
no honor in the position to any man
lacking them and to send such a
man to the Legislature is a reflec-
ton on the civic virtue and intelli-
gence of the electorate. It is to de-
base an otherwise highly honorable
and important position
Great things are expected of the
next Legislature by the people;
three are many reforms promised
them in the platforms of the guber-
Material candidates, but after all it
is only through the Legislature that
they can be secured and only then
by legislators who can not be
swerved from the path of right and
duty. Bitter experience has taught
us this. Therefore it is men, not
creatures, who should be sent to the
Legislature, men who will truly rep
resent the people, and not creatures
who will do the bidding of bosses,
misrepresent the people and defeat
the measures of reform for the bet
terment of conditions.
