tCURE FOR THE BLUES.

A malady which should be con-
sEicuous for it's absence these
days is "the blues. We are all,
at times, subject to this mental
depression but we should try to
steer clear of it's dark moods and,
be careful not to impose our
troubles upon others. One of the
simplest methods of dispensing
them, is to get out into God s
sunlight and breath the fresh air
of the country. Another, and
one more lasting in its effects, is
to do something for some one
more miserable than yourself.
Forget self in sharing the troub-
lie of others. 1t will always bring
sweet peace to your soul.
What is your transient trouble
to the anguish of that mother
who sits over the coffin of her
dear little oneY
What is your downheartedness
when contrasted with the condi-
tion Of that wife, deserted by her
husband, and left to find her way
to the hospital, there to face a
terrible illness without cent to
defray her expenses or to unlock
the door OF the fut11ref
your blues should change to
brightest ruby when you think
Of your mercies, comforts and
loving dear ones. There is an
eloquent sermon in this little sug-
gestion. .-Ex.

THE BOARD WALK AND DAM.
AGE SUITS.

The City of Crowley, La, has
found 1t necessary to pass an or.
dlnance fOrbidding the placing OF
any more board walks on side.
walks throughout the town, and
also requiring the residents to re-
move all board walks now in ex-
lstence. The ordinance was unan
lmously adopted. 1t provides
that all residents with board
walks on the street must remove
them with tirty days or the city
Will do so at the expense of the
property owners.
The passage of the ordinance
arose out of a recent damage suit
against the city brought by a ne
gro for $500 for a broken limb
sustained when he fell through a
board walk. The case was ap-
pealed and lost by the city. 1t
was henceforth decided that
board walks are, at best, DANCE
rous. to pedestrians and must be
removed.
Alexandria has few Of the
old time board walks that are in
bad condition and may cause the
city just such damage suit, but
this is less likely than the prob
ability of a damage suit growing
out of the crippling of some CHI
zen with the abominable gutter
covers that are at every corner
In the business section on the
paved streets. These covers are
half the time either fitting or
that they will throw somebody
down or they are "hiked" up so
that the iron prongs attached to
them catch the foot Or the cloth
ing of pedestrians, sometimes with
disastrous results.
These gutter covers can be kept
in place if the end Of them could
be protected from being run over
by vehicles turning the corners.
They are thrown out Of place nine
times out of ten by being run over
by the wheel of some vehicle that
is in too big hurry to go around
the corner, but takes short cut
by running across the corner of
the sidewalk. Posts placed in the
right position can prevent this.
But better still is the replacing
of the board covers with station,
ary reinforced concrete, as has
been done in few cases. Town

WHAT WE MOST NEED.

1t isn't, in my opinion, nine
cent beef we want to look for or
50-cent butter; but rather the
practice of better methods OF
breeding and feeding that will
enable us to secure reasonable
profits in Scent beef and 30-cent.
butter. 1t is not the $6 barrel
Of apples we should strive for,
but more business-like way Of
handling our orchards that will
insure us good profits on the pro-
duet at $3 per barrel. 1t is not
acknowledgements corn we need
so much, as the use Of better
methods of handling our lands
and crops so that larger crops
may be made at reasonable price.
1t is not 15-cent cotton that we
need as badly as we need to so
handle our business that good
profits may be insured from the
ginning Of ten-cent cotton. The
crying need Of our time is a more
careful looking after our products
while on the way to market to
insure their economical distribu-
'tion. For me-thinks that at
times, perhaps, non-producing

methods Of handling or natural
greed secures more in the hand

NOT POOLING THE FARMER

"The political stump orator
NAV thirh he is fOoling the far.
mer, the machanic or the consum.
er by talking to them about
Schedule X and the coal oil trust
but he is not fooling Them. Their
minds are dwelling on the truth
that onions are being sold by the
Texas farmers at 25c a bushel
and that the farmers in the West
are selling potatoes at 25c a
bushel, while in the town, onions
are soIIing to consumers at &c

sumers are paying $160 a bushel

tatoes that are grown on the

To the above Editor Jim Ed

cate, has the following comment
to make:
And after all, it concerns the
consumer just as much to pay a
double price for his food to de-
fray the cost of wasteful AMI
shiftless methods of distribution
as it does to pay a double price
for his clothes to defray the

The cure for it is not in legis-

tical education which will pound
it into the people that it is bet
ter to produce wealth in the fac

to get rake off for handling

VOTE FOR THIS AMENDMENT

In the election Of Nov. 5 nine
teen amendments will be voted
on, of which one is the main tax
amendment and six subsidiaries
Of the tax scheme. In the re-
naming twelve are several Of
merit which deserve adoption.
One is No. 13. providing an ad-
ditional Judge for the Fifteenth
District. The Fifteenth District
when created comprised old CAL
casieu, one of the largest parish
es in the State, and Cameron, per-
haps the smallest.
Cameron is sparsely settled and
has little civil or criminal busi-
ness. Calcasieu has furnished
enough to keep the District
Court atwork nearly the whole
year round. As long, however,
as Lake Charles was the parish
seat and litigants, lawyers, wit
nesses and jurymen had to go
there from all parts of the parish
one Judge, though the dockets
were constantly large, was cap
able of handling the work.
Now, however, Calcasieu has
been divided into four separate
and distinct entities. Each will
have a parish scat. Each will
have a courthouse. Each will have
justice administered, civil ami
hnal, within ts own bounda-
ries. I'd
thus the single Judge of the
Fifteenth District, instead of two
parishes, will have five in which
annually to hold court terms. The
labor will be too much to inflict
on any Judge. That is not, how
ever, the most important phase
of the matter. 1t is the certainty
tha justice will suffer, that dock.
cts will be clogged, and that un,
fortunates unable to furnish bail
will be kept too long confined,
that ought to appeal to the voter
in considering his attitude to-
ward this amendment.
We have now, perhaps, too
many District Judges. A read.
justment could undoubtedly be
made that would not only save
money to the State and the par-
ishes but tend to greater equality
in their labors. But until such
. readjustment can be made it
would BE unfair not to provide
another Judge for the Fifteenth
District.
Therefore, vote for Amend
ment No. 13. States.

ASSAULT UPON MIR. ROOSE.
WELT.

Periodically the heart of every
American citizen is made to bow
in very shame in contemplation
of the triumph Of the elements OF
disorder and crime under our lib
eral institutions. Three Presi-
dents have fallen beneath the
hands of assassins, and on Mon
day an ex-President narrowly es-
capped a similar fate. In essence,
an attack upon an ex4president Is
a crime no greater In quality than
similar attack upon the humb-
lest citizen; but as a matter OF
fact, crimes against men of that
class are usually inspired largely
bv a hatred of our laws and insti-
tutions.
Aside from the discomfort the
assault caused him, and the depri.
vation of the pleasure he would
derive from speaking to many
thousands of his fellow-citizens in
the interim between now and the
end of the campaign, Mr.. Roosc-
welt will not lose by the incident.
His very absence from the cam
paign, under the circumstances,
speaks more eloquently than
words of his could speak in adj
vocacy Of his candidacy, and in
bed he viii gain more votes than
he col11 on n ump. Counted
in Y less excessive
enthl M part Of his
friends should overdo the incl
dent, the assault will probably in
crease the vote he would other
wise have secured by a half mil
hon,
The attack is greatly deplored
by all good men, who will wish
Mr.. Roosevelt speedy recovery
and return to the good work he
has been doing--on the editorial
staff OF DR.. Abbotts Outlook.
The dastardly crime which dis
abled him cannot be too strongly
condemned; but it is sincerely to
be hoped that the condemnation
will take the practical form Of
laws regulating immigration into
this country which shall be much
more drastic than any we now
have. The question is, do we want,
under any conditions, the class Of
immigrants which for q dozen
years have been coming to our

TO PAY BLOODY PENALTY.

Immediately before a court-mar.

which will be presided over By

though not now a member Of the

under the law which provides for
trial of any civilian under like
circumstances.
: Soldiers Of the rebellious troops
will be decimated- in ten be-
ing executed. They will be chos-
en- by lot to pay the penalty for
all.

ment one week after its inception,
with a minimum. of fighting and
bloodshed, has created the great.
est surprise here. In administra-
tion circles, where optimism has
been the keynote since the begin
ming, the outcome is regarded as
the highest possible vindication
of the confidence always ex-
pressed in the loyalty of the army.
Gen. Felix Diaz, after Gen.
Reyes, has been regarded as the
man who could WELD the great
est influence with the army ana
the people generally. His rebel
lion, ending in a fiasco, only
slightly less pronounced than that
Of Reyes last December, removes
a danger which has long loomed
