Want

"Wanted-A woman no saint,
understand,
But a romanly woman, who on
every hand
Sheds the luster Of purity, good
ness and grace,
Who carries her loneliness
stamped on her facei
Whose wisdom's intuitiye insight
is deep;
Who makes living sunshine
!. where life's shadows creep
Who's poised in her little world S
center, and who
Is gentle, responsive and ten
der and true;
Whose sweetness and gracious
ness fit like a gown
Is there such a woman in coun-
try or town."

There is a petition being clrcu.
Hated asking the Police Jury to

regret very much that such a

We believe that we know the
sentiment of the people on this
question and if enough signers
are secured and anelectionish
the outcome will be the defeat of
the proposition. This parish is
not ready for the. saloon. The
majority Of her people are
bitterly opposed to it and cleo.
ton willonly create a turmoil and
q bitter fight that will result in no
good. Besides an election of
this kind will cost considerably.
We would suggest that counter
petitions be circulated asking that
an election be not held and thus
save the trouble, expense and
turmoil which an agitation Of
this kind will inevitably bring
about.

Thanks to DR.. Aswell.

A few days ago for the first
time in the history of Louisiana
politics, the people were &C
quainted witch the amount of
money being used in a political
campaign and how it is being
used. All the candidates for
office for the State ticket includ-
ing the candidates for the United
States Senate, submitted state.
ments of receipts and disburse.
ments by them for campaign
purposes to date. The people
were permitted to,judge whether
it is being spent improperly.
This requirement of the State
Central Committee, serves as a
check upon politicians who try
to buy their way into office.
That the effect of this party
law will be gooa is not to be
doubted. It will in all probabili.
ty be made the law Of the land
in accordance with a similar law
passed by Congress and applying
to members of that body, Pub.
lie sentiment has demanded
greater publ lei y Of
financial expenditures IN political
campaigns.
DR.. Aswell has the honor and
and deserves the credit for being
the first to advocate campaign
publicity in this campaign. He
incorporated a demand for it in
IN his platform, which he sub.
mitted to the people last April,
and he followed this up by max
ing it and issue, laying great EN-.
phasis upon it in his opening
speech at Ruston. In the eighty.
three speeches that DR.. Aswell
delivered in various parts of the
State previous to the meeting Of
the State Central Committee he
did not fail to advocate campaign
publicity. So we'll was his work
accomplished and so thoroughly
did the people agree with him
that the publicity resolution was
adopted dy the State Central
Committee without a dissenting
vote.
In this, as in other instances,
DR.. Aswell performed q splendid
public service. His demand fol
clean elections found an immedi
ate response from the people. =

wholly in infection.
What can I do, Teritus?" said
Rosamond, turning her eyes

haustive argumentative percep.

neutral aloofness. Rosamond's
thin utterance threw into the
words. What can / do?" as much
neutrality as they could hold.
Now, suppose some partisans
of .Rosamond were telling Of
Lydgate's unjustlfiable wrath
with his wife and were to repeat
that passage. How easily in his
report the What can I dor"

and loving offer of help from a

How 10 Live to a Good. old Age

A woman in Wilkesbarre, Pa, SO
years old, has successfully undergone
an operation for appendicitis. The re-
suit is doubtless the source of pardon
able pride to the physicians and sur
geon in care of the case, but there is
more attraction to 1t than that 1t
stands to reason that the average
woman or man of 90, of whom there
are comparatively few, would not hold
out against the shock of serious sur
operators must have been aided by a
strong constitution in a body that had
been we'll kept The reports say this
woman had always enjoyed good
health, which is not necessarily obvious
from her extreme age.
People are discussing the possibility
of prolonging life and as a matter of
fact, statistics show that longevity is
on the increase, slowly, but surely.
1t is due, no doubt, to closer adherence
to the simple laws of health which
nature itself furnishes us. AS a ma
ton, we are probably giving more at
tention year by year to these laws. but
we have a very great distance to go be-
fore reaching anything like an ideal
degree of observance, and as time pro-
crosses and the temptations for over
indulgence multiply, our diligence will
have to increase correspondingly to
enable us to attain desired results.
The demands of life in all its aspects
today are many and exacting They
do not easily conduce to a simple
career, That is something people have
to look out for themselves. Their bod
zeal and will perform just so much
work and it is for the person to say
whether that work will be extended
over a long period of years or crowded
into a short period.
Natures laws are inexorable. The
yielding has to be done by us. II is
one of the best signs of the times that
we seem to be coming, slowly, to this
realization, but there is a lot of
pathetic or willful ignorance among us
yet. One of the tragedies of our times
is to be seen in the all too-common
struggle OF the prematurely old man
to make up for past DEFICIENCIES by some
form of physical exercise, which may
or may not at this late day use up all
the dwindling vitality that he has to
spare.

President Taft Coming

While the itinerary is not yet def
mite, it is now fairly assured that Presi-
dent Taft will visit Omaha on his
forthcoming western tour.
This consideration for Omaha on the
part of the president should be duly
appreciated by our people, and fit
ting reception prepared for the chief
magistrate of the nation
Omaha has been favored on several
occasions by Mr. Taft in his travels
both before and since he became presi-
dent. The last time he was the city
guest came in the face of unfortunate
conditions at the start of a disturbing
street car strike and as a consequence
we were decidedly handicapped in ac-
cording him the attention to which
the president was entitled. The next
visit should enable us to put up a
better appearance and leave a better
impression on both sides.
The coming of the president will
give Omaha an opportunity to demon
strate its high qualifications to act as
host and it should not fail to enhance
its reputation for genuine hospitality
