JeweIed Ornaments.

The favorite jewelry ornament and
the one that is above all beautiful is
undoubtedly the pearl necklace, either
long or short. The low cut corsage
favors the return of this prettiest OF

The Man Of The Hour.
(By Rube RugalS)


When Woodrow Wilson first
tossed his hat into the presidential
ring. and became a prospective
candidate tor the nomination at
the Baltimore convention. thous-
ands of people IN this country be-
lieved that owing to his obscurity
in politics he would prove an UNI
even match, and not able to cope
with such willy and astute politi-
clans as Roosevelt, Taft and their
political satellites who had been
schooled in the art for twenty-five
years or more.
A majority of the American peo-
pie were apprehensive that the
school teacher candidate could not
possibly hold his own and make
Roadway on the hustings. Yet
Woodrow Wilson has fully dem
onstrated he is no novice; has
proven beyond question that he is
master of the situation and forever
put to rest the fact that he is not
the equal of any man in public
life today, and without a peer for
political foresight.
Those who had looked upon the
New Jersey man as an amateur
had overlooked their hands; had
lost sight of the fact that he made
monkeys of every professional pol
itician in New Jersey.
That as governor with the hand
of a craftsman, had defied the for
mer leaders of both old parties and
put through mass of legislation
s~ainst their wishes and over their
shes and over their protest; that
has proven both Wise and whole
some to the everlasting credit OF
Governor, Wilson. Since his NOM
nation for president he has sue
cessfully united divided Demo-
cratic party as it has not been
done, by any other man since 49,
90.
He has inspired confidence and
united the North, South, East and
West into one general crusade
against the missrule of the party
now in power, until the most
skeptical friend or foe is bound to
admit his election to the highest
Office in the gift of the people is
easily within his grasp. Could the
most astute professional politician
do a better lob than Woodrow
Wilson has done9
In his campaign speeches he
has convinced the people he is to
serve that he is sincere and their
sssAaAs
ambitions and how unlike Roose-
velt who seems to think his own
self-importance is paramount to
the peoples interest and who also
seems to think IKE Office of presl-
dent was created by our forefath-
ers for his special benefit and that
no one else is worthy, or should
apply.
Woodrow Wilton is no novice
and no amateur: he is a born states
man and a leader the like of which
we have not seen since the days of
Jefferson and jackson. He is the
man of the hour beyond question,
or doubt, while the professionals
who once felt he would prove an
easy mark. will do well to seat
themselves at the school masters
feet and learn their lessons over
before Offering further objections
or criticisms. Here's to ''the man
behind the gun" here's to the

Sixth: Home rule, enabling
parishes and municipalities to con-
troll their own tax matters IN va
rious respects. They may adopt
high assessments without injuring
themselves or low assessments
without injustice to other parishes.
Each parish may encourage new
industrial enterprises or home
building or migration by voting
exemptions, or may continue to
tax these as it chooses; each NAV
fix its own percentage of assess
ment and may adopt different per-
centages for personal property
than for real estate or for improve
ments than for land values.
In these provisions lie large pos
sibilitles for upbuilding the coun-
try by offering inducement to ca
pital and immigration.
Several western Canadian pro-
y!nces are yearly drawing vast
numbers of immigrants and guam
titles OF capital from the United
States by reason of these liberal
exemptions
There is no reason why any Or
every parish in Louisiana should
not take this progressive step and
largely increase its population and
prosperity.
Being optional, though, those
which dc not choose to do so need
not.
Each parish, too. may decide
for itself whether to segregate
municipal from parish affairs.
EXEMPTION AMENDMENTS
Three of the proposed exemp-
ton amendments will, if adopted,
be statewide in their application.
Two of them namely, the canal
exemption and the six per cent,
farm loan corporation exemption,
apply only to companies to be
hereafter organized, and therefore
do not involve untaxing anything
now taxed.
These enterprises will be of
great benefit to the state if we can
get them, and the offer of exemp-
ton may secure them.
The proposed exemption of mon
ey on hand is merely the recogni-
ton of a condition. The present
law requires its taxation, but to
the extent of ninety nine per cent,
it is not really taxed, and the uni
versal experience of mankind is
that it cannot fairly be reached
for taxation. If it could, it would
make money scarcer and increase
interest, retarding DEVELOPMENT
and throttling industry.
The mere threat of taxation no
doubt keeps out large quantities
of capital which would come into
the state for loan or investment.
As it is now untaxed il should be
made untaxable and thus encour-
aged to come to the state instead
of being scared off by the empty
threat contained in the present
r-nues .-.-.----.-.2
This amendment, though. like
the the exemption amendments,
is presented separately. Should
the voter be oppose to it, as think
ing that money should and can be
taxed, they may vote against this
amendment and in favor of the
others,
| believe if the tax amendments
are adopted that the taxes of the
ordinary citizen will be decreased
and those of the large public SER
vice corporations and land mono
polists will be increased, immigra-
ton and capital will flow into the
state or into such parishes as ex-
tend the proper inducement. and
Louisiana will take rank as one of
the most progressive states of the
Union.

Another Composition.

Joe Lyons of Chicago, formerly of

East Chicago. the music team who put
over the recent song hit, In My Dreams

and music composers, respectively. have
cmoe ito bat again with a song of the
popular variety, which promises to be
hit.

Lyons -McKelvey team is a song enti-
tied, Little Girl, Little Girl" Mr.. Ly-
ons having written the words and the
East Chicago man the music.
Critics have pronounced the second
song superior to the first one. In re-
cent popular songs the moon stuff
has been overdone and fortunately for
the Little Girl'' Song it does not start
its career with this handicap.
The song was taken off the Thomp-
son & Co presses in Chicago last week
and the many friends of Messrs. Lyons
and McKelvey hope it will prove big
