In our last communication we
saw the curse Of death resting on
all mankind, none exempt. And
the pages of history, both sacred
and secular, aS we'll as our own
! observations, attest the fact OF un-
told thousands paying the penalty
daily, going down to the great
prison house Of death. Every
h1arse. every physicians sign and
every piece Of crepe are only proof
conclusive Of the ravages OF this
giant. death. But the teeth-grit-
ting pant OF all this is that this
monster whose hunger seems to be
Unsuitable, came on tie scene, how!
BY one man disobeying God. In
the day that thou eatest thereof,
dying shalt thou die" # it had
only meant the M man, however,
this prince, Death, would not have
had such a gorgeous feather IN his
cap. 1t is at this point, however.
that the Apostle Paul show, him.
self to be a philosopher. He calls
direct attention to this very point,
saying, BY one mans disobe-
dience sin entered into the world
and death by Cor as a result of
sin. Therefore, death has passed
upon all men for that treason that
all mankind ale Adams posterity,
and therefore inherit the death
curse) all have sinned." Romans
5:l2,lS. Thus the apostl5 shows
how sin and death came to curse
us as well as Adam. But as we
pointed out IL our former commun-
icatiOn, while the death penalty
still rests on the entire human
ia nily, a blessing in the form of
lifting that curse has been prom
Used. Although that promise was
a long time ago, in fact nearly four
thousand years ago, we hope to
show that it has never been re-
yoked or fulfilled. II it has been
fulfilled, it is a strange condition
indeed to see men striving to bring
about something better than Gods
universal blessing, strange indeed
that God would be unable to cause
a blessing to come that man, who
He Himself created, was able to
improve. No, dear reader, as we
proceed with this examination we
hope to prove that this promised
blessing, while it is still future, it
is now at our very door, so to
speak. While our forefathels
were under the death penalty and
unable to understand why it was
necessary God often told them Of
His intention to restore and bless
them through a coming deliverer.
But who that deliverer was, was a
mystery, Eph. 5: 1882, and re-
NAMED so for four thousand years,
Col. 1:26, and then only began to
understand after the death AID
resurrection of Christ. Thus
we are obliged at this point to
jump two thousand years to prove
that God purposely kept it a mys-
terry, yet there were lots of good
people who lived back there, Pet.
1:1O,12. But the apostle says
those living in the early centuries
were not permitted to know where
the mystery was, but that it is now
made known to the Saints. SO il

AGAINST THE SYSTEM.

The political system which pre-
walls in Louisiana today is the Sc
quenee of radicalism which was
routed by the glorious event OF Sep
tember II, when the citizens Of New
Orleans, outraged beyond the limit
of patience and of endurance, re-
volted and swept them from power
For while after the State had been
redeemed from the rule of spolia-
lion the affairs of government were
administered by men who were the
actual representative of the peO-
pie, but gradually a number Of the
men who had fattened from the
spells of radiealism because pos
sessed Of power sufficient to domi-
nate the Democracy Of the State.
The system of BossisIn was again
overwhelmed in the defeat of the
Louisiana Lottery, but the Bosses
did moi long remain inactive as they
resumed power when Murphy j.
Foster became the Governor of the
State.
Since then the spirit of Bossism
has dominated the political affairs of
the State and the Bosses are strug-
Cling desperately to hold their pow
er, which is being threatened by the
election of Judge Hall.
OF the Bosses there are some men
who are genteel and as the world
goes are good fellows. but the peo-
pie are tired of This domination by
a few individuals whose patriotism
is circnmscribel to their tenure of
Office.
Il would not be possible TO have a
more discredilable political system
than the present domination of the
State by a few men who are known
as Bosses and who as Bosses have
The present control of the State.
Even the system which prevailed
in Pennsylvania which has been con-
demned throughout the United
States, is mild and in a sense mot
fensive as a contrast to the system
OF Bossism as it is intrenched in
New Orleans and dominates the
whole State. II is against this sys-

be arrayrdx a system Which has been
maintained Ny frauds at elections
and many crimes committed in the
name Of Democracy.
While il IS conceded that Candi-
date Michel is an excellent gentle
man and a good fellow, he is the POI
lltical representative OF a system
which is indefensible and undemo-
-eraiic, a system which is a reproaeh
to good government and therefore
he should be defeated
The people OF the State can ey-
peel no Improvement in the political
conditions OF their State with Michel
as Governor.

Senator Lodge Makes a Bitter
Attack on Spreckles.
Says Plan Is to Drive Beet
Sugar Men Out.

Washington, July 27.-An agree
ment between regular and progressive
Republicans was reached today for the
passage of a sugar tariff bill fixing a
duty of $3.50 per 100 pounds in place
of the present rate of $1.9O. The pact
which i'll was believed would hold
throughout the day provided that the
progressives should stand with the
regular Republicans, deserting their
previous alliance with the Democrats.
A bitter attack by Senator Lodge
upon American care sugar refners
opened the sugar debate. He charged
the refinerS with attempting to strike
down their competitors, the beet sugar
producers, by fighting for free or re-
duced duties on raw sugar. Mr..
Lodge endorsed a substitute which he
had reported from the finance com
mittee which would abolish the Dutch
standard trust and the tariff differen-
tials of the present law.
Senator Lodge declared that one
year after abolishing sugar duties the
domestic industry would be dead and
the consumer would be paying exorbit-
ant prices.
$50 far as I have been able to
learn" said Senator Lodge, the move
ment for free sugar, outside of con-
gresS, has come from one of the three
great sugar refineries of the country
and from that source alone. The
American Sugar Refining company
and Arbuckles have not appeared in
this campaign for free sugar, but the
Federal company, belonging to the
Spreckles' interests has spent money
employed agents and lobbyists, dis
tributed broadcast through the coun-
try circulars filed with statements
more or less false and has urged the
removal of the duties on sugar.
THE socalled independent refiners
who are denouncing the present duties
on sugar claim they are fighting the
trust, although aside from whatever
interest it may have in the domestic
industry the interests of the trust are
identical with all other refners."
Senator Lodge appealed to congress
in the name of humanity not to strike
down the sugar industry of Louisiana
while the sugar growers of that state
already were staggering beneath the
blow received from the terrible flood
Of the ATisSiSSipni.

little or no probability that the case
can be taken up before the primaries,

Roosevelt Electors Will Retire From
Nebraska Ticket.

Lincoln, Neb., July 27.-It became
known here today that a plan was ef-
fected at a conference of progressive
and regular Republicans last night
whereby the candidates for presidential
electors on the Republican ticket who
are favorable to Roosevelt will with
draw and their places will be filed oy
men who If elected will cast their vote
for Taft
I Gov Aldrich was a party to the
conference but it was reported at the
state house he would refuse to carry
out the agreement and would stand by
his earlier position for Roosevelt. 1t
was conceded that the progressive ele-
ment would be permitted to name the
permanent chairman of the state con-
vention which meets Tuesday but with
the understanding every utterance
made by any speaker should be in line
of accepted Republican doctrine and
harmony.
The agreement, drawn UP in writing.
also provided the full Republican
ticket be supported by the progressives
and that the work of the Chicago con-
vention and platform adopted there be
fairly and fully accepted.
