WHAT'S WRONG.


What is the matter with the
Church and the Lodge? This
question is being asked by the
faithful few who keep these two
Institutions alive by regular at
tendance. The trouble is the al
mighty dollar is in the way. Pe''
pie cant lose sight Of it long
enough to give any attention what
ever to the Church or the Lodge.
This is an age of grab, and if you
don't get your mite out somebody
will grab what belonged to you,
therefore some Of the greatest and
best things are neglected. What a
change has come over the people
during the past twenty-five years.
Men, at one time, would let moth
ing come between them and their
Lodge. They would take a whole
week off and attend a camp-meet-
ing, but now they sit in their pla-
ces of business on Sunday, on
lodge night, and all the time only
one thought in mind-that OF the
Almighty Corn Of the Ream. "
Brother, did you ever stop to think
that you are only traveller on a
long journey and that sooner or
later you will wind up in grave9
Why not get something out of this
life? You only live it once. 1t
is we'll enough to stick to business,
but don't overdo it, for of all men
aispised it is the man with money
and no conscience. Don't live so
people will rejoice when you die
In other words, don't let money
be your God, nor 8 per cent your
(Mo.) Republi-
IAN.

Tired and dusty a party were
returning by rail from a holiday

seated himself to read, but

things dull in the bucket, started
By careful investiga-

VOTED FOR TAFT.

In an address at Monroe, Fri
day, John M. Parker, chief spon
sor for the Good Government
League, admitted that he voted
for Taft in 1908. We have nc
doubt that there are other men
in Louisiana who regularly vote
the Democratic ticket in State
and local elections, but who. like
Mr.. Parker, voted the Republ'
can ticket in the last national
election.
But in view Of Mr.. Parker s
activities in State politics at this
time, Democrats who vote the
Democratic ticket in all elections
because they believe in Democra-
tic principles will be interested in
knowing why Mr.. Parker pre-
ferred Taft to Bryan in 1908. Mr..
Parker SO far as his vote wer
selected a Republican to be our
President in 1908 and Democratic
answered with a plu-
rality of 81, 900 for the Democra-
tic candidate. Is Mr.. Parker to
be trusted as leader in State
politics any more than he is to be
trusted as a leader in national po-
iticsi p
This is the first time within our
knowledge of Louisiana politics
hat the admitted leader of one
Democratic faction has appeared
before the Democratic voters
openly confessing that he was not

THE TRUSTS HAVE WON.

The decision in the Standard Oh
case will prove disappointing tc
the country. The dissolution Of
the Standard Oil company works
no hardship when the supreme
court decision is virtually a Ii
cense to reorganiZe under g
pledge Of greater security. Nc
wonder the stock of the Standard
Oil company went up five and
One-half points when the decision
was announced! Tobacco trust
stock went up fifteen points, and
the head of the Steel trust praises
the opinion. The real meat of the
decision is to be found in the
amendment Of the antitrust law
to meet the demands Of the trusts.
For several years the trusts have
been demanding the very amend
ment that the court has read into
the law. There will be rejoicing
in Wall street, but there will be
sadness in he homes of the masses
who are now compelled to begin
a campaign for the enactment Of
All antitrust law SO clear and eX-
plicit that the court can not re-
peal it by construction. The de-
cision explains several things.
First, it explains why Justice
White was made chief justice in
stead Of Justice Harlan. Sec
ond, it explains why Governor
Hughes was made a justice of the
supreme court. Third, it explains
the discriminating care exercised
by the president in selecting dem
ocrats who would help the repub-
licans out OF hole by making
the democratic party bear some
of the odium of a decision that
builds a bulwark around the pred
atory corporations. And, fourth,
it explains why Wall street went
over to Mr.. Taft in March or
April Of 1908 and then coerced
their employees and the business
public into the support of the re-
publican candidate in November.
Who will appoint the judges?"
was the question raised toward
the close of the campaign and Mr.. |
Bryan was given an opportunity |
to decline to make any pledges.
The people will learn after a
while, what the corporations have
long known, namely, that the
power to appoint United States
judges is a far-reaching power.
The people agitate and congress
legislates to little effect so long
as the highest court in the land
Is in sympathy with those who
exploit the public. The amend
ment which the court makes by
judicial construction is the very
which Mr.. Taft sug-
yested in his Columbus speech
when he announced his candi-
lacy, and now the judges whom
he appointed have so voted as to
make it unnecessary to secure the
by legislation. Now s
ct those, democrats and republi-
ans, who are opposed to trusts,

ion by legislation. The democra- i

Bashfu Young Citrate Didn't Know
Object Of Solicitude Was Entry
In Steeplechase.

How to win the hearts of his con-
gregation was unconsciously solved by
an innocent young curate. Dean Hole,
in his Letters" tells the following
story:
"a young curate a good fellow, but
very shy and bashful. came into a
parish which was occupied by York
shire yeomen who bred horses and
rode them and sometimes had steeple-
chases. He did not get on and was
very much depressed.
"One day the clerk said to him: If
you please, sir, the prayers of the
church are desired for Lucy Gray
Very WE'LL said the curate, and
at every service in which the pray
er for all sorts and conditions of men
was offered the church was asked to
pray for Lucy Gray, till one morn
ing the clerk rushed into the vestry
and said:
You needn't pray for Lucy Gray
any more; she's won the steeple-
chase
Have been praying for horse?'
asked the curate. I shall leave the
place.
But the clerk said: You'll do

taken one of those curious turns that
set agog the discerners of signs and

Prof. Felix Adler, at Eisenach, in July,
1906, the president, Lord Weardale,
says: Great is the historic pride of
London. Great also are its manifold
tragedies of squalor and poverty. This
varied story will be distinguished in
the summer of 1911 (July 1920, by
an episode both brilliant and unex-
ampled. In London will assemble
mankind in council. Representatives
of all human groups will come from
the four quarters, and lands that
know the Pole star and regions that
lie under the southern cross will meet
each other in friendly intercourse, in
the First Universal Race congress.
The official congress languages will
be English, German, Italian and
French, though an oriental tongue
may now and then announce the soul
of Asia"

Keith stared at him too completely
astounded for the instant to even
speak. Then he gasped.
For Gods sake, Hicks. do you be-

that was their game, was it?-some
act of his had awakened the cowardly
suspicious of those watching him

that he knew them as white men.
And they had found a way to safely
muzzle him. They must have ridden
hard over those sand dunes to have
reached Carson City and sworn out
this warrant. 1t was a good trick,
likely enough to hang him, if the fell
lows only stuck to their story. All
this flashed through his brain, yet
somehow he could not clearly compre-
bend the full meaning, his mind con.
fused and dazed by this sudden real
ization of danger. His eyes wandered
from the steady gaze of the marshal
who had half drawn his gun fearing
resistance, to the man at the bottom
of the steps. Suddenly 1t dawned

BABY'S HAIR ALL CAME OUT

when my first baby was six months
bumps. They would dry up and leave
a scale. Then it would break out
again and it spread all over his head.
All the hair came out and his head
was scaly all over. Then his face
broke out all over in red bumps and
1t kept spreading until it was on his
hands and arms. l bought several
boxes of ointment, gave him blood
medicine, and had two doctors to treat
him, but he got worse all the time.
He had it about six months when a.
friend told me about Cuticura. l sent
and got bottle of Cuticura Resolvent,
cake of Cuticura Soap and box OF
Cuticura Ointment. In three days
after using them he began to i'm
prove. He began to take long maps
and to stop scratching his head. After
taking two bottles of Resolvent, two
boxes of Ointment and three cakes Of
Soap he was sound and WELL and never
had any breaking out of any kind. His
hair came out in little curls all over
his head. I don't think anything else
would have cured him except Cuti-
cura.
Il have bought Cuticura Ointment
and Cuticura Soap several times since
to use for cuts and sores and have
never known them to fail to cure what

best that I have ever used for toilet
purposes" (Signed) Mrs. F. E. Har-
