FAMILY DESERTTON."

A learned judge, not long ago,
delivered an interesting and able
address, the subject being: Fam
ily Desertion." The address was
timely and to the po.nt. No
greater crime against society and
the ultimate safely of the moral
life Of this government can pos
sibly be committed than is CON-
mitted when an able bodied man,
willfully, and perhaps with some
poor flimsy excuse, leaves his wife
and child, or children, to the
charities of the world and goes
away never to return. One of the
noblest things in this world is to
be good man-true and honor.

on March 3, 1913. At the same
time Mr.. Ransdell was elected
Robert F. Broussard of New Ibe-

the political life of the nation
two Representatives in Congress
succeed simultaneously to seats in
the upper branch Of the national
legislature although they will
take their seats two years apart,
made so by the division Of the
Senate into three distinct groups

The announcement Of the re-
tirement of Senator Winthrop
Murray Crane of Massachusetts,
upon the completion of his term,
March 3, 1918, adds another to
the long list of conspicuously able
men who have given up, or who
will give up, public life ON the ex.
piration of their terms of Office
because of a dislike to enter into
the scramble for place and power
made possible by the preferential
primary and which will in all
probility be adopted in Massa-
chusetts during the term Of the
present legislature. Senator
Crane, while not communicative
as TO the motives that prompt him
to the decision he has made, it is
understood, has pronounced views
on the question as to how Sena-
tors should be elected, views in en-
tire sympathy with those held BY
his very distinguished predecessor,
the late Senator George F. Hoar,
and as he has no relish for partic-
ipa,ion in political warfare as now
carried on he is going to follow

ported by the House Committee
of Agriculture, providing for the
inspection of all imported nursery
stock and plants and plant pro-
ducts, to insure protection against
the introduction in this country
of insect pests and maintaining
quarantine districts for plant dis
eases. An interesting illustration
of the need of such legislation oc-
cured not long ago when the JAP
anese government made a present
to Mrs. Taft, the Lady of the
White House, of several thousand
japanese CHEEKY trees. Mrs. Taft
had admired the beautiful flower
ing trees very much when she was
in Japan, and knowing Of this the
japanese government authorities
sent her some choice specimens to
be set out in Potomac Park. When
they came to be unpacked, how
ever, they were found to be in
fected by a dangerous disease
which might have done great dam
age to the trees of this country
had it been allowed to spread.
Careful diplomacy was necessary
in order not to offend the Japa-
nese government by refusing to
accept the gracious gift. The
trees had to be entirely destroy
ed. but the matter was handled so
delicately that not only was no
offence given to the japanese gov
ernment, but when the matter
was explained to them they i'm
mediately selected another lot Of
the trees, which were this time
carefully inspected and perfectly
healthy specimens were sent. They
were planted along the Potomac
River in the Park and are now
blooming along the driveways,
giving pleasure to thousands of
residents and visitors in Washing
fon.

THE DANGER OF
RHEUMATISM

The danger of Rheumatism is in
temporizing in the treatment, or
in failing to realize the power'ui
nature of the trouble. II the blood
is allolOed to remain infected with
uric acid, Rheumatism soon BE-
comes chronic, and then if not
checked it sometimes makes COM
plete physical wrecks of its pictims
BY permanently stifening the joints
and seriously interfering with the
bodily nerpe force. External ap-
plications will often temporarily
relieue Rheumatic pains, but do not
reach the blood, where the cause is
located, and to depend entirely
upon such treatment is a uery
dangerous thing to do. S. IS.
cures Rheumatism by removing
every particle of the cause and
purifying the blood. 1t filters out
ofthe circulation every trace ofthe
sour, inAammatory matter, cools
the acid heated nerues, causes a
natural and healthy nourishment
through the blood to all muscles,
joints and bones, and perfectly cures
Rheum atism in all it's forms. S. S. S.

greatest of all blood purifiers, acting
directly on the source of the disease.

THE ENTERPRISE AND
Observer, Consolidated
Subscription SI.5O Per Annum
THE ITEM 8 sQUAWK.

Mr.. Edgar H. Farrar's merciless
plucking of its candidate for Pres
ident has sent The Item into the
air. 1t is throwing fits and seeing
sp0oks.
Because The States and Mr..
Farrar have given sundry rea-
sons for believing Mr.. Clark an
enemy of Louisiana aud the weak
est candidate the Democrats could
put up, Mr.. Hearst's local news
paper ally ques ions the right OF
Mr.. Farrar and Mr.. Robert Ew-
ing, in face Of their sugar rec
ords, to tax Mr.. Clark for voting
with his party for free sugar, and
it wants to know if Louisiana
"shall hand her birthright to n
mess of pottage-hunters."
No one has asked Louisiana to
"hand her birthrighy to a mess
of pottage-hunters," and we do
not think the public so classify
either Mr.. Farrar or Mr.. Ewing.
But, even if such was the case,
criticism would come with exceed
ingly bad grace from The Item,
which we all know bargained it's
columns for cash to John 7. Mi.
chel while it professed to be sup
porting The cause Of the Hon. L.
f. Hall, the till of whose cam
paign committee it was also tap
ping at the same time
OF course, our Camp street
neighbor cannot understand why
Mr.. Farrar and Mr.. Ewing have
criticized Mr.. Clark for his sugar
course, because it is a political
freebooter and knows nothing of
Democratic principles.
We did not expect it to know,
as Mr.. Farrar pointed out so lum-
inously on Sunday, that sugar
has never borne a duty for pur-
poses of protection during the
century and a half that it has been
raised in Louisiana.
We did not expect it to know
that sugar has always been taxed
by both Democrats and Republi-
cans, because no other article in
the tariff schedules yields rev.
enue more bountifully with burd-
en- so light on the individual CEN
sumer.
We did not expect it to know
thai while Democratic policy has
always favored the ultimate re-
duction of tariff duties to a rev.
enue bas s.. that policy has never
stood to make flesh of one indus
try and fowl of another-to
strike down one industry in or
der that others might live and en-
JOY a robber protection.
But we DID have reason to be-
lieve that Mr.. Clark knew the
tenets of the party, and to ex-
pect that he would not be guilty
of the demagogary of striking at
the industry of a Democratic
State in order to furnish himself
with cheap political capital.
In his attitude ON the sugar
question and Mr.. Clark, The
Item finds a fresh excuse for sug-
gesting that Mr.. Ewing ought
not to be continued as National
Committeeman.
"This newspaper" it says,
"has not cared TO make a fight
on the Hon. Robert Ewing for
Democratic National Committee
manship. Yet that gentleman 5

Nc Indigestion, Gas or Sourness
After Taking "Pape's
Dispepsin."

If what you just ate is souring OF
your stomach or lies like a lump of
lead, refusing to digest, or you belch
gas and eructate sour, undigested food,
or have a feeling of dizziness, heart
burn, fullness, nausea, bad taste in
mouth and stomach headache-this is
indigestion.
a full case Of Pape's Dispepsin costs
only 80 cents and will thoroughly cure
your out-of-order stouach, and leave
one else in the family may suffer from
stomach trouble or indigestion
Ask your pharmacist TO show you
the formula plainly printed on these
so cent cases, then you will understand
why dyspeptic trouble of all kinds
must go, and why they usually relieve
sour, out-of-order stomachs or indiges-
tion in five minutes. Dapepsin is
harmless and tastes like candy, though
each dose contains power sufficient TO
digest and prepare for assimilation
into the blood all the food you eat;
besides, it makes you go to the table
with healthy appetite; but, what will
please you most is that you will feel
that your stomach and intestines are
clean and fresh, and you will sot need
N resort TO laxatives or li,sT pills for
t.liousness or constipation.
