A Beneficial Periodical.

The Confederate Veteran, Nashville,
Tenn, requests notice in every Southern
newspaper. 1t disseminates information
about soldiers of the war on both sides; it
has long represented officially every gen.
eral Confederate organization, and is en-
Enthusiastically supported by the men and
women who are familiar with it. While
ardently loyal, as its name indicates, it is
so dignified in tone and so patriotic that it
maintains not only the respect but the
good will of 1.-The other side."
The Veteran is doing an important work
in helping to establish records for depend
ent men who wore the gray and the widows
of such who seek pensions. Besides,
it secures intercommunication between
friends of the long ago whose inquiries are
printed gratuitously.
The Veteran is printed on fine paper and
is illustrated with high-class engravings.
1t is one of the most creditable magazines
in the country (price, ST year) and the
editor prides himself in the assertion that
in the distribution of over four millions of
copies he has not heard of fourteen COM
plants.
S. A. Cunningham, the founder, who
has been at the helm these nineteen years,
requests this notice and that all who may
be interested will write postal for sam
pie copy.

My Guide.

There is no path in this desert waste
For the winds have swept the sitting sands;
The trail is blind where the storms have raced,
And stranger, l, in these fearsome lands.
But journey on with lightsome tread;
| do not falter nor turn aside;
For see His figure just ahead
He knows the way-my Guide.
There is no path in this trackless sea;
No map is lined on the restless waves;
The ocean snares are strange to me
Where the unseen wind in its fury raves:
But it matters naught; my sails are set,
And my swift prov losses the seas aside;
For the changeless stars are steadfast yet,
And sail by His star blazed trail-my Guide.
There is no way in this starless night;
There is naught but cloud in the inky skies;
The black night smothers me, left and right,
start with blind mans straining eyes;
But my steps are firm, for cannot stray;
The path to my feet seems light and wide;
For hear His voice-sI am the way!''
And sing as follow Him on-my Guide.

Six of the knaves of Lincoln City, Kans.,
who participated in the tarring and feath-
ering of young lady school teacher on
public highway near that place have been
convicted and four of them have been sem
fenced to one year each in the peniten-
tiary. 1t is indeed regrettable that one
wear is the limit of the law in such cases in
that State. They richly deserve more
severe punishment at least longer terms
of imprisonment, if such alone must be
their sentence. How white men can stoop
so low as to participate in such crime as
that mentioned above and how it happens
that self-respecting community can har-
Dor brutes that would commit such crime
is beyond our power of imagination.

This Is the AsweIl Way.

Doc Aswell's friends at Eros nailed up
the school house to prevent the Democratic
Good Government League leaders speak
ing in it. AS Judge Hall pertinently re-
marked ''That's the Aswell way of keeping
politics out of the schools. "-Monroe In
dependent.
AS a further confirmation of how much
truth there is in the statements of DR..
Aswell along the line of excepting the
schools out Of politics" numerous circulars
and letters, emanating from this great dis
ciple of Boss Ewing, are being circulated
in this parish and in other portions of the
State appealing to the teachers for their
support towards his candidacy.
In many instances these circulars and
letters are addressed to young misses
teaching under the system, soliciting their
aid and support, containing the appeal
that though they cannot vote, they can in
fuence their fathers, brothers and sweet
hearts.-Bastrop Enterprise.

'They are now building in this country

"They are now building in this country
beautiful bungalows of terra Gotta hollow
tiles, the exterior surface finished with stuc-
co cement" says the New Orleans Plea
yune. 'Such walls are not only fireproof,
but, what is equally desirable, they are
dampproof Neither are they any more
expensive than the common burnable
material" Cement products not only have
their place in the building OF these modern
cottages, but are more lasting than any
other building material, and therefore the
cheapest. A residence built entirely OF
hollow cement blocks is perhaps more san
itary than if built of any other material
that could be selected. The use Of cement
products in city and country is widely va
ried and it is material for general con-
struction that has come to stay.

Make 1t Only One Primary.
Editorial from The Neu Orleans Times Democrat

boasts and bluffs, like Chinese fireworks,
do no harm, as every intelligent person
who investigates them soon finds that they
are manufactured for campaign purposes,
in the vain hope that some silly voters will
accept these stories because they saw them
in newspaper.
AS matter Of fact, not more than hall
a dozen parishes in the State are in any
doubt If a canvass were made to-day OF
the voters as to what they know and be-
lieve, it would show that Hall will carry
forty -one, Michel thirteen and Aswell pos
sibly one parish; that Hall would have
plurality in all the country districts and a
majority in all but one. None the less,
because Of the floating vote in New Or
leans, there are doubts as to whether he
can get that majority which is necessary
to elect him in the first primary. Some OF
his most ardent supporters are claiming
this victory; but it can be rendered GER
tain only by the support OF the city float
ers, by their being convinced that Judge
Hall is going to win, or by the aid of patrl-
otto and public-spirited voters in the par
ishes who refuse to waste their ammunl-
ton and fire straight at the enemy, the
State and city ring.
A second primary will be unfortunate
for many reasons. The question of the
additional cost is of small concern COM
pared with the decentralization and confu-
sion of five weeks more of campaigning,
the loss to business, the bitterness engen-
dered, the frauds encouraged. thought to
be possible to settle the Governorship of
Louisiana in a single primary, when what
the voters hope to do is to destroy the rings
now in control of State and city, and to
prevent a ward boss from getting into the
Governorship and placing Louisiana under
boss rule and ring methods.
Why then risk two primaries? Why
give the ring two chances? Why not
strike now? How much better will it be,
how much more effective the victory, if at
the first chance offered the voters extermi-
nate the machine and machine govern
ment? Why should they divide on this
point and waste many thousand ballots on
forlorn hope? Tt will be pity indeed if
Judge Hall fails of nomination by few
hundred of votes, and we are put to the
expense, trouble and worry of second
primary. Let us hope that all sensible
people will see this, and that when, after a
canvass of their neighborhood or parish
they conclude that vote for Aswell will
be waste Of ammunition, reprieve to
the ring, giving it another chance, they
will vote as they want to do-a protest
against the city ring and against the State
, machine, and against Ward Boss Michel
for Governor. All we propose is that they
look around for themselves with open eyes
and free from prejudice, and see how they
can best help the cause they favor. 1t is
a question not of individuals, but of great
! fundamental principles, for which the peo-
pie of every State in the Union are con-
tending to-day, and are everywhere win
, ming glorious victories. Let us not delay
that victory by any division in the ranks
of the forces Of reform.

Good Associates.

From the Baltimore Sum-
The Importance to young men, and, for
the matter of that, to young women also,
of selecting good associates cannot be too
often impressed upon the minds of those
who are at the threshold of their inde-
pendent lives. 1t is not possible always to
determine in advance who are good asso-
ciates, but the author of "Lacon" gives
one serviceable rule when he says:
ssIn all societies it is advisable to associ-
ate, if possible, with the highest-not that
the highest are always the best, but be-
cause if Disguised there we can at any
time descend, but if we begin with the
lowest to ascend is impossible. In the
grand theatre of human life box ticket
takes US through the house,
There is another reason, for the highest
or more cultivated society is in reality the
best. 1t is true that within that society
are degraded men and women, but they
are conspicuous because they are excep-
tons to the general rule. 1t is quite safe
for any young man or young woman to
choose associates from those who are cul-
tivated in that they have literary, or art,
or scientific tastes, and whose minds are,
therefore, occupied with subjects that tend
toward culture and refinement rather than
to seek companions among people who,
being without elevating mental occupation,
are fit subjects for temptation to vice.
The term higher class as here used never
means merely the weather. class, though
naturally the wealthy are usually cult
waited in their tastes.
In the grading of society in democratic
community culture is the only true meas
ure of distinction, and that is exhibited,
not merely in manners, but in the tastes
and mental occupations of the individual.
There are men and women of acquired and
natural culture to be found among the
poor, more among the we'll TODD, and still
more, in proportion to numbers, among
the rich, but this is due not to the direct
| influence of wealth, but to the adventurous
! circumstance that wealth provides the
means and opportunity for culture. Il
would be wrong to take wealth as meas
ure of culture; it would be mistake tt
ignore it's influence. After the young
man has obtained fair degree of culture
for himself and has had experience in the
world he may find congenial and improv.
ing companions in any walk of life, bu
previous to that time he should seek asso'
ciates among those whose modes of life
and opportunities give likelihood of ele.
waited tastes and good manners. There hi
will be sure to meet companions who viii
help him to occupy his leisure moments ir
improving amusements rather than il
those which, if not degrading, serve
merely to ''kill time" Thus occupied, HI
will insensibly acquire tastes and habits
protecting him from temptation to vicious
courses, will acquire some degree of re-
finement and will equip himself to nov
worthily among companions of still high
err class. Culture and refinement do no
take the place of moral training, but the,
are great aids to moral training and tn
young especially should seek their com
panions among those who have refine'
tastes.

Col. James Dinkins, gallant Confeder-
ate officer and always an interesting writer,
concludes paper in the New Orleans Pic
ayune on "The Battle of Seven Pines, or
Fair Oaks" fought seven miles east of
Richmond, Va, on May 31st and June 1st,
1862, as follows:
mcclellan committed gross error in
allowing Keys Corps to remain isolated for
several days within striking distance of
Gen. Johnston's army. The plan of Gen.
Johnston to throw Longstreet's division
against Keys exposed right flank was the
best plan he could have adopted, but Long,
street failed by taking his own division from
the Nine-Mile road and in holding six
brigades in the Charles City road, where
there was no enemy. No one can fairly
doubt what would have been the result had
Longstreet supported Hills attack on the
31st of May. In other words, if Longstreet
had put his troops in action even as late as
10 O'Clock the first day, before Sumner re-
enforced Keys, there could be no doubt of
the result. Then, if Longstreet had carried
out his orders to renew the attack the Sec
ond day at day break there would have
been no failure to wipe out Keys Corps.
1t is clear now that Longstreet gave
evidence of his character, his qualities and
his disobedience during the battle of Seven
Pines and Fair Oaks, which became so
pronounced at Gettysburg. On the fol-
lowing day Gen. Lee was assigned to the
command OF the army"

From Our State EXCHANGES

Donaldsonville Chief: We tremble to
think how our esteemed Michel contempo-
raries would have Illuminated if either
Judge Hall or DR.. Aswell had been guilty
of that White Lake land deal.
Plaquemine Waterman: 81 am lone
some, oh, so lonesome" Words and
music by popular song writer; nasal
humming, funeral-like gestures and soft
pedal poses by DR.. Aswell, January "a,
1912.
Winnsboro Reporter: We noticed GER
tain editorial appearing in some half dozen
country papers of last week commencing
the candidacy of Michel. The article was
the same, word for word, in each paper.
What brand of telepathy is this?
Crowley Signal: There is no discount
ing the fact that that White Lake ''land"
deal smells rotten. The most deplorable
feature of it is that there are few honest
men-a very few-who can smell nothing
rotten in the transaction.
Monroe Independent: The bitterest fight
being made on Judge Hall is right here in
Monroe and Ouachita parish, and it is
being made by the city machine-ring and
a few whose personal plans and ambitions
were upset by Judge Hall becoming can
didate for Governor. It's anything with
them to beat Hall. That opposition will
not avail, however. Judge Hall will carry
both the city of Monroe and Ouachita Par
ish by good majorities.
Franklin Waterman: This is the time
to pay taxes. The Government must run
and it takes cash to do that thing and there
is no other source of supply than the
property of the people, who must contrib
ute their share in the maintenance of the
establishment. If the useless and unnec-
essary positions were cut out, there would
be more than enough cash to keep it going
easy, and in fact portion of the amount
could be removed and therefore lifted from
the shoulders of the man who pays.
Lake Charles American Press: A
strong sentiment is manifesting itself in
Louisiana in favor of the establishment of
reform and training schools in the State.
Judge Boarman has been urging the need
of such schools in every portion of his iu-
dicial district, and his campaign is be-
ginning to bear fruit. Without such
schools, our juvenile courts are practically
useless. The State made start toward
establishing reform school at Monroe,
but the building has never been finished
and properly equipped.
Lake Charles American Press: Some
of the newspapers of the State opposing
Judge Hall profess to be terribly shocked
because Hall newspaper exposed the
murder story''. THAT was being privately
circulated. They think that it is somehow
unbecoming to publish denial of the
story until some charge has been made
The facts appear to be that the charge
that Judge Hall was concerned in the
