From Our State EXCHANGES

Denham Springs News: Some persons
are born mean and we pity them; others
become mean and we shun them; but the
meanest person is he who tries to be mean.
The devil himself fears such man.
Abbevile Meridional: The young folks
of town and some of the older ones who
should know better have gone daffy on
frolics. They frolic by day and by night
so much so that some of the dear girls
sleep with their hair in curl papers and
prop their eyes open in the day time to
keep up with the parade.
Thefollowing paragraph from the Shreve-
port Journal is worth remembering: Pat
Price, former saloon keeper in Atchison,
Kansas, is quoted by the Kansas City Star
as saying: Il haven't turned into re-
ligions crank, or anything like that, but
take it from your Irish friend, l know
dozens of men who can write out checks
now and couldn't when there were open
saloons''
st. Helena Echo: We are honestly op-
posed to female suffrage. The reason we
oppose it is because we love them, and be-
cause we believe that God loves them and
never did intend for them to engage in the
dirty game of politics or anything else that
would degrade them or weaken their influ-
ence over men. Wifehood and motherhood
was the purpose of God in creating women,
and they are now going out Of their sphere
and robbing men Of their chances to marry
add support family and reducing their
own chances of marriage fully so per cent.
Lake Charles AmericanPress: The
wagging tongues Of his neighbors, backed
by the lies of his adopted daughter, landed
DR.. Duncanson of Los Angeles in the state
penitentiary for term of fourteen years.
After he had served three months, the fact
that the girl had lied was discovered and
the doctor was released. Now he is suing
the gossips and tale bearers for 100000
damages. In this one case, poetic justice
may be weaker, but in thousand others,
the victim of the slanderers has no way to
reach them and must endure their attacks
in silence.
Vermilion News: The newspapers OF
Louisiana have been worked" so long
for free notices that it is traken for granted
that they will publish anything that is sent
to them. Consequently, every self-styled
syndicate or collection of free notice beg
gars that can hire typewritist, or pay fol
the printing of circulars, bombards the
newspapers, claiming that the advertise
ment is "news." If 80, they would not
60 to the expense of sending it to editors
whom they do not know. The stuff is oil
special interest to those who send it, and ir
| nearly every instance beneficial to then
only.
{ Lake Charles American Press: The
{ people of the State may we'll ask them.
t selves what object is behind this unceas.
, ing, unrelenting war upon Gov. Hall. HI
cannot be candidate for re- reelection, mol
is there any other high Office at present tt
3 which he may aspire. The reason that he
! is SO offensive is painfully evident. If hi
. had turned over to the editor Of the State:
' the City Administration patronage, Goo
would be in His heaven and the worle
would be all O. K. If he had even giver
it to the ringulars, he would have giver
satisfaction, because Col. Bob would have
/ snatched the lions share anyhow. Thu
people of the State are not exactly fools
nor are they asleep. They know that hi
offense has been in ignoring the New Or
leans machine. They know, moreover
: that the fight on the Governor is directed
! at the forces behind him, at the people VIII.
elected him, in order to confuse them ant
demoraize them, to pave the way for tn
election of another machine controlled
i, Governor in 1915.
