A Praise-Worthy Attitude.

The New Orleans Progressive
Union shows a brave front to mis-
fortune by the following forceful
resolutions:
Resolved, That the loss of the
Panama Exposition to New Or
leans is in no sense a discourage
ment to this city, but, on the con-
trary, it should and will spur our
citizens to greater and more de-
termined effort to realize and build
upon the advantages this city pos
sesses. Be it further
Resolved, That the first and
great effort of the Progressive
Union, backed by the citizens of
New Orleans, shall be the practi-
cal utilization of the Panama Ca
nal by an American steamship line
flying the American flag, its home
port New Orleans, and its opera
ton to include the vast markets of
Central and South America and
the Orient, via the Panama Canal.
Be it further
Resolved, That if New Orleans
is the logical point for the Pana-
ma Exposition it is even more the
logical point for great American
merchant marine, and we pledge
ourselves to unite in an aggressive
effort and concentrate our forces
upon the establishment of the Mis-
sissippi Valley, South American
and Orient Steamship Line, with
its domicile at New Orleans. Be
it further
Resolved, That as the people OF
Louisiana have taken a step far in
advance of the people of other
States in the rehabilitation of the
American merchant marine, by ex.
empting from taxation steamship
line domiciled in this State, the
fullest advantage should be taker
of this concession and great oppor
tunity given thereby. Be it fur

Resolved, That the Board of di
rectors of the Progressive Unior
authorizes the president to APP
point special committee to worl

with the determination that W,

A Good Newspaper Greed.

The Louisville Courier Journal
gives the following as a good
newspaper creed: To print moth
ing of man which we would not
say to his face; to print nothing OF
a man in malice; to look well and
think twice before consignlng a
suspect to the ruin of printers
ink; to respect the old and defend
the weak; and lastly, at work and
at play, day time and night, to be
good to the girls and square with
the boys, for hath it not been writ
ten ''Of such is the kingdom of
heaven?'

couples entered the stately dining
hall in Ontario, and seated them
selves at one of the well-appointed
tables. Dinners which included
expensive wines and champagne
were ordered. Soon one of the
young men raised his glass of
liquor aloft, and said smilingly,

"Here's to our wives and sweet
