It Is undoubtedly mark Of more
THAN ordinary mind when a man dem

cess on many different lines, that he
can rise superior to "the sings and
arrows of outrageous fortune" and
that the subject OF this sketch has
done thig will be apparent after Pc
rusal Of this brief chronicle Of facts.
W. y. Patrick was born at Halle
hurst, Copiah County, Mississippi.
His father was well-to-do painter
and young Patrick was afforded many
advantages of which he awaited him.
self. from his youth he was an
honest, outstanding man and now that
he has reached his prime he is still
moored to this arm anchorage. He
is courteous and genial but digni-
ned. knows the world and its ways,
but Is not seduced by them and has
never lost faith In the innate honesty
of humanity.
Mr.. Patrick came to Louisiana in
1891 and was for SIX months in the
internal revenue service of the Unit
ed States. He was then overseer OF
the great Ellersley sugar plantation
In St. Mary parish and after one year
became manager of the great concern
which position he held for ten years,
He saw service on other sugar plan
tations in Terrebonne, st. Mary, st.
John the Baptist, and was then for
a year commissary clerk of the Des
Anmand's Lumber Co. He then for
IA time lived in st. Charles parish.

In 1904, after spying out the rich
places in Louisiana, Mr.. Patrick To-
Gated in Covington, where he has
been since, in the hotel, restaurant
and buffet business.
During four years of his resideue
IN st. Tammany parish Mr.. PatricA

Here he grew all sorts of vegeta blcs.

products always topped the market.
In the financial world this gentle

He has the reputation here in Gov

CROWDED BOATS AT MANDE-
WILLIE.

Vaudeville swarmed with people
Sunday, brought over by the Mande
Vile Steamboat CO.. from New Or
leans, and the traffic on the Motor
Line was excellent. II is said that
sixteen hundred passengers were
handled. Three trips were made
The Woodmen had quite ! crowd
themselves.
There is no doubt that the people
would soon learn the pleasure of a
trip across the lake and the boat
habit would become permanent
thing II there were gardens and elee
trio shows and other features of at
traction. In q few years we may ex
poet to see all this, and then we vii.
have more boats and swarms OF PEG
pie, not only on Sunday but every
evening during the summer months.

1t has been truthfully said thai
the traveller or wayfarers Of expert

beds luxurious and sleep inviting and
the attendants polite and obliging.
Mrs. Patrick and the clerks receive

HON. JOSEPH. B. LANCASTER.
A Candidate for District Judge Of St.
Tammany and Washington Par
ishes- Something rs to His Quail
lications.

4 ficatf0ns.
The gentleman named above, who
aspires to the office of District Judge
and who with his many lifetime
friends and supporters asks the con
|sideration of the voters on Septem-
Der 3, on his merits and qualifications
IL . we'll known lawyer who stands
high at the bar and has practiced
since his graduation in 1901 1t the
bar Of several Louisiana parishes as
we'll rs in the higher courts. Mr..
Lancaster is also licensed to practice
in the United States Courts, and this
livery fact puts the seal of approval
on the gentleman's qualifications as
. lawyer.
In al the walks of life Mr.. Lam
caster has won the esteem Of his
fellows and in Covington, his home
town, no man ranks higher as an
able, conscientious lawyer and good
citizen. What the people at home
think of a man Is always the best
criterion of what a man is.
The position Of judge Is an ar
duous one and requires robust
health II the business of the court
lis to be carried on without delay
That Mr.. Lancaster is strong both
physically aud mentally is beyond
question. That he has the legal
training, the mental poise and whar
ia known as a judicial mind Is rec
ognixed by all WHO know him.
Mr.. Lancaster was q member OF
the Legislature in 1900, has been
Superintendent Of the parish schools,
and his record iii this Office is mon
ument to him, for it was by his
efforts that our schools now possess
their high efficiency. In 1910 Mr..
Lancaster was again sent to the Leg
:slature. From 1904 to 1908 Mr.
ancxst filled the office Of District |
Attorney with satisfaction to all.
With a clear record, with the en-
lorsement of his fellow citizens for
years as faithful public official, his
many friends submit that no better
nan could be made District Judge.
They and Mr. Lancaster himself
lsk judgment on his claims on merit
,nly. Consideration by all intelli-
,ent voters is requested.

wANTE0-A REAL CURE.

Everybody. except. perhaps. the multimillionaire, is interested in the high cost of living. and numberless specifies may be had for the asking, and all warranted to cure. Recent ly the Bureau of Labor published the result of an inquiry into prices of staple food articles between 1890 and 1900. and. says the report. all haze gone up. but at the two extremes stand granulated sugar and Irish po- tatoes. Granulated sugar is a tariff protected trust product. It has ad- yanced only eight per cent ard po- ratoes have climbed one hundred and twelve per cent. Lard, made by the Beef Trust. has advanced ffty-fve per cent; the trusts slrioin steak has risen ffty.nine per cent. but corn meal has risen sixty.four per cent. MiIk. butter and wheat flour are thirty to forty per cent higher than the 1S9O-l9OO average. No one has po- tatoes cornered. but there are often combinations in butter and eggs.
 High cost Of living is a well known condition, visible all over Europe, as well as in America. Underproduc- ton is probably one cause. as we have already pointed out in these columns; increased cost of transpor- tation may be another; enormously increased gold production and tho concentration of population in cities may be coutributory causes. The building up of cities, such as has been witnessed in the past decade has been done largely at the expense of the soil-that is to say has contributed to underprOduction of staple food ar. ticles. But nobody has discovered the specific that will cure the increased cost of living.
