Wyoming had three killed and several
wounded. AS she neared the japanese
vessels her flag was run up with cheers
by the crew and it was at once saluted
by the shore battery OF four guns. Soon
the American ship was in front of the
town and dashing in between the
steamer and the two briggs, was soon
abreast oi the KoseI which immedia tely
fired a broadside. The Koshin was not
able TO do much damage. her guns be-
Ing pointed up tho channel. but so near
were tha two vessels that their guns
nearly touched AS the Wyoming went
between the two vessels she fired both
broadsides and every shot found its
billet. Now the inevitable happened.
The Wyoming cleared the steamer and
steered over toward the southern shore
and all the shore batteries getting their
range again concentrated their firing
upon her and she grounded-but, despite
that fact and the holes torn in her sides
by shells, she still kept up a vigorous
firing. But McDougal was not content
to fight with his ship m the mud. so
he set the propeller to work TO get her
off. and this being fortunately a most
powerful one. she soon floated again.

A Testimony of Appreciation.

1t is with peculiar pain, and yet with
pleasure, that offer this brief testimony to
the worth, the simplicity, the beauty of the
character of my dear sister, Mrs. Emma c.
Edwards, who passed from her home in
Oklahoma to that Heavenly land on March
IA, 1909.
She was born in Orange County, South
Carolina, during December, 1929, and
moved with her parents to Mississippi in
her childhood, and Louisiana in her girl
hood. In early life she united with the
Methodist Church and during her whole
life thereafter she was consistent and de-
voted member. She was quiet, domestic
woman, of a retiring nature, and without
pretention; strong in her attachment, faith
full in her friendship, charitable in way
the world knew not of, loyal to her church
and true to her vows. She did not seem
to think of herself at all, but only of the
work which was hers to do in this world !,
whether the service was that of daughter,
wife, mother or sister, or whether it was
only faithfulness to some barren duty.
She did not seek the praise or rewards of
this world. "Of such is the kingdom of
Heaven
She was married to Benjamin S. Edwards
in Bossier Parish, La, on the 18th of July,
1856. To this union four children were
born. Her decline in health dated back to
the Civil War. Bereft of her husband, who
died in the "Lost Cause" and being the
victim of incipient disease, she had much
difficulty in rearing her children to man
hood and womanhood, all of whom preced-
ed her to the grave, except one daughter
(Mrs. Sara Lock) who has since passed to
her reward.
Late in life she sustained a fearful fall,
which made her cripple and from which
she suffered intensely many years, but
through it all she manifested that same
quiet, brave and patient manner which
had characterized her whole life.
My dear, patient, loving and beloved
sister is at rest, and we who mourn for her
presence, and mourn her departure, are
comforted with the assurance that she has
gained the home in the House of Many
Mansions. That God will reunite US in His
own good time is the hope of
SISTER MARY.

Hazinf and Higher Education.
Lake Chanes American-Press.

Lake Charles American-Press.l
1t looks very much as though the Louisi-
ana State University authorities have sur
rendered. to the students in the matter of
enforcing punishment for hazing. The
students, at least a considerable number of
them, sstruck,'' and refused to resume
studies. Finally, the punishment assessed
against those who took part was RENTED,
the matter of enforcing it being left to the
Board of Supervisors who will not meet
until commencement week and who will
probably forget all about it.
That the form of hazing for which the
punishment was comparative mild, being
forcible removal of the freshman's hair
does not particularly mitigate the situa-
ton. No matter how mild hazing may be
at first, it is bound to develop into final
brutality and indignity, being form of
amusement that appeals to vicious and de-
graded instincts.
We are indebted to the great English
schools of the past for the precedent of
inflicting torture upon new students at col
leges. It was supposed to be good for a
boy to undergo such an ordeal, by way of
preparing him for the battle of life to come.
But the world is no longer governed by
brutality and personal violence. Boys do
not need such toughening influences now,
and it is doubtful whether they ever did.
Decency and good behavior are the general
rule of life, and instances to the contrary
are merely sporadic and reversionary.
The higher education is that which
teaches the young man to respect the rights
and consider the feelings of others. The
most successful men nowadays, so far as
making an all round success in life is con-
cerned, are those who observe this rule of
conduct. Leaving the hazed student out of
consideration altogether, it is worth while
to consider the welfare of the hazer. 1t is
giving him very poor training to allow him
to give vent to his mate brutality and cruel
| ty, when those tendencies must be sharply
| repressed as soon as he leaves school,
either at the expense of sundry terms in
| Jail for hoodlumism or of collision with q
bullet from somebody's gun.
If the esteemed college authorities would
forgo the polite term "hazing" for the legal
and proper term hoodlumism,' the public
would look at college brutality from q
proper standpoint.

ST. PATRICK.

OF all the anniversaries on the calendar
of patron saints none has finer signif-
canoe or teaches more elevating lessons
than that of st. Patrick, which was cele-
brated last Friday by men and women of
Irish descent the world over. While st.
Patrick's activities as one of the most zeal
Gus spiritual reformers of the fifth century
were associated mainly with Ireland, his in
fluence is worldwide. This tireless and
sacrificing missionary had the highest
and noblest ideals. He had the courage born
of great heart and lofty purpose. He
loved humanity and he spent himself in its
service. His work in life was the cure of
souls and he dedicated himself to this
exalted mission with zeal which never
tagged and with determination which
baked at no obstacles. No patron saint
whose fame has been handed down through
the centuries inspires greater feeling of
reverence, of religious fervor, of personal
devotion than st. Patrick evokes among
the millions who paid homage last Friday
to his good deeds and the loftiness of his
character. Loyalty is one of the finest
attributes of the Irish race. st. Patrick
exempted loyalty to duty and to humanity
in its highest form. The celebrations of

Gems Of Thought.

Carlyle: Not one false man but does
mischief.
Latimer: Faith is the hand wherewith
we take hold on everlasting life.
Cicero: There never was great man,
unless through Divine inspiration.
Taylor: Think of heaven with hearty
purposes and peremptory designs to get
there.
Swift: He that calls man ungrateful
sums up all the evils that man can be
guilty of.
Seneca: No evil propensity of the hu-
man heart is so powerful that it may not
be subdued by discipline.
Anonymous: Happiness is perfume
you cannot pour on others without getting
few drops yourself.
Treasury of Wisdom: Narrow minded
and ignorant persons talk about people and
not things, hence gossip is the bane OF the
age.
Addison: AS to be perfectly just is an
attribute of the Divine nature, SO to be SO
to the utmost of our abilities is the glory
of man.
Steele: Inquisitive people are the fun
nels of conversation; they do not take in
anything for their own use, but merely to
pass it to another.
Fuller: Curiosity is a kernel of the
forbidden fruit, which still sticketh in the
throat of natural man, sometimes to the
danger of his choking.

THE STATE PRESS.

Mansfield Enterprise: The people are
ripe for reform, but it must be q genuine
article and in no way subterfuge.
New Iberia Enterprise: In the State
primary next January the amendment OF
1908, providing for the nomination of the
eight officers below Governor by plurality,
will apply for the first time. In other
words, there will be second primaries, it
necessary, only for Governor and United
States Senator.
Colfax Chronicle: The curse of our land
is INSTRUMENTATION to constituted authority.
Only those who know how to obey are fit to
command. Those ships of youthful arro-
gance who think that parental restraint,
municipal laws, school rules and military
discipline should not be applied to them,
always need its application most, and the
sooner they get it the less liable are they to
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS and undesirable citizens.
Lake Charles American-Press: In Great
ing commissions to govern Louisiana, the
Legislature has inflicted an aggregation OF
leeches on the tax payers of the State,
harmful only in so far as they take money
from the peoples pockets without fair re-
turn. But the Game and Fish Commission
is not only an expense, but an annoyance
and nuisance. 1t not only wastes the
dollars wrung from the people but it op-;
presses them, deprives them of their liberty
and sometimes their livelihood without any
justifable excuse, like some whimsical
Oriental potentate.
New Orleans Picayune: Whatever good
is to be done by the opposition movement
referred to will be that it may arouse te
action thoss inert, inactive, Indifferent
neglectful and useless citizens who shirt
their public duties and care not who gov
ems or in whose interest. There can be
no assurance of good popular government
without active and vigilant political oppo'
sition. There should be two political par
ties, or two opposing factions of the same
party. Any movement that will bring
about such state of things should b.
welcomed.

POLITICAL DEAD-BEATS.-The trouble with

the anniversary of Ireland's patron saint,
while interesting and attractive on the
social side, have their deepest significance
and importance on the spiritual and ethi-
cal side. That at the end of fifteen CEN
turtles st. Patrick should be enshrined IN
the hearts of all Irishmen, that the celebra-
tons of his anniversary should be more
widespread than ever before, demonstrates
that high ideals expressed in great deeds
are an ever potent force in the lives OF
Irishmen.
