In my opinion the state campaign
has reached stage of development
which renders the fulfillment OF that
proi Use necessary. Being a native
of tie state and having been honored
with the confidence and support OF
the people in position of high re-
sponsibility during many years.

introducing myself, or with general
ties dealing with abstract principles CT
government.
Long experience in one Of the de-
partments of state government sery-
ed to familiarize me with the practi-
cal side of public administration and
with the defects existing in our meth
DDS, and enables me to suggest i'm
provements required to place Louisi-
ana In the front rank of progressive
and wisely-governed American states.
The popular demand for economy
in the conduct of the government is
reasonable and just. Upon the backs
OF the people the burden of govern
ment rests; hence, every expenditure
made should be In response to some
imperative public necessity. and not
for the maintenance of mere tax
eaters who render no returns pro-
portionate to the compensation they
receive. II goes without saying that
all profligate expenditures, whether
for the maintenance of unnecessary
offices, for excessive compensation
or for sxtravagant appropriations,
should be rigidly eliminated, and that
the smaller leaks. more apt to be un'
detected because Of their apparent in
significance. should be stopped.
True economy may be effected by
the following means. among others
viz:
(A)-Holding down appropriations
well within the limits of the public
revenues.
Establishing every useless Of
flee.
(C)-Consolidating offices, commits
slDns and boards wherever this car

cheney of the public service.
(D)-Reorganizing departments

reorganization may be required or 1.

economy and efficiency.

one at Shreveport. By reason Of the
fact that 1t is situated In q more
populous community. and the scope
of its activity is, necessarily, greater,
the Charity hospital of New Orleans
commands a larger share Of public
attention than the institution at
Shreveport.
The North Louisiana hospital Is
capably administered. and is perform
ing a splendid work, and it is pleas
ure to testify to its great importance
in the world of humane philanthropy.
The New Orleans Charity hospital
occupies commanding place as an
institution to which suffering men,
women and children may turn for re-
lief from the ills that beset them. Its
nursing. clinical, medical and surgi-
cal corps rival those of any American
community. The main hospital, elm
les and children's hospital go to make
up an institution Of which toe state
may we'll be proud.
The constantly increasing demand
upon its resources and accommoda-
tons has created the necessity for
expansion, and l favor proper legisla'

When SchAemann was digging at the
supposed site Of Troy he discovered
masses Of silver in the form OF ak
heads. Cote suggested that these
were intended not for implements, but
for money. Bronze ak heads have also
been discovered In ancient remains,
mingled with metal pieces In the form
OF rings, In such a manner as to sug-
gest that all alike were intended to
serve as money. and the conclusion is
drawn that IN ancient times the metal
az head had cone to be a popular
unit Of value for purposes Of barter.
After it had disappeared as actual
money the memory OF 1t, according to
this theory. was preserved in the coins
of Tenedos, which bore the figure Of
an ak head. II has been suggested
that the wedge OF gold" which Achan
stole from the spoils of Jericho and
for the stealing Of which Joshua had
him stoned to death was a specimen

tional church, and would have OBJ

Mrs w. T. Wiggin placed a golden

cake and tea. Mr.. Skinner, during
the civil war served his country in

peace was restored. Being a fine
penman and having good ability he
was detailed to office work but at the

the field with his regiment and re-
ceived wound in his head that has
always troubled him. In 1866 he
came to this village and for a number
of years was engaged in the mercan-
tile and lumber business under the
firm name of Grandy & Skinner. Mr..
Skinner has been all these years ac-
lively interested in the affairs of his
village and town and has intelligently
and successfully filled nearly every
important office that either has to be-
stow. He has always been a quiet.
unassuming but persistent man ano
