Ballot Box StuffinU.

Stuffing ballot boxes, altering tall
ly sheets and classifying returns of
an election are not crimes in Louis
lana, according to a New Orleans
judge. They are merely evidences
Of playful spirit ON the part Of
the politicians or of the desire to
emulate carried to extreme. Conse-
quently, unless the Supreme Court
comes to the rescue, the 40 or 20
election commissioners indicted by
the gran djury will go free.-Lake
Charles American Press.
No election could be construed
strictly as being an election in New
Orleans if it be not contaminated
with irregularities and frauds.
Irregularities and frauds have
been committed so often in New Or
leans in defiance of law and decency
that many of the commissioners
and clerks of election in that city
regard swindling at elections as be-
ing a joke, if the swindling is in the
interests of the gang.
The only deterrent to such frauds
lis the limit of imprisonment fixed
by law.

Fusion AGAINST Tammany.

The Times-Democrat states that
pursuant to a call signed by "anti-
Tammany citizens of all political
faiths" fusion conference will be
held in New York to prepare for the
approaching mayoralty campaign in
that city. Among the signers of the
call are noted Job E. Hedges, Re-
publican candidate for the New
York governorship last fall; Oscar
S. Straus, who was the Bull Moose
candidate for the same office; Seth
Low, former Mayor of New York;
Frederick R. Coudert, Joseph H.
Choate and number of others
scarcely less well known.
The fusion against Tammany is as
the fusion against the Bosses of New
Orleans. The Bosses are always IN
line, always organized, and have for
incentive the emoluments of office.
In New York as in New Orleans
and other cities of the United States
the chronic place hunters and place
holders never weary of holding Of
flee. They never resign and rarely
die, and when they are dead their
holding is handed down to their
posterity. q
And this condition is tolerated
and continued through the indiffer-
ence of the citizens who give more
time and attention to their business
and private affairs than in the full
|fillment of their obligations and du-
ties of good citizenship. 1t is only
when the Bosses become too intOl-
Grant and insolent in their defiance
that the people are reused, and
then follows clean up, but the
Bosses gradually resume their pow
er when the good citizens are mac
tive in their fancied security.
The problem of squelchiHg the
political bosses may be reached
some day, but until then tht
long and untiring feeders at the
public crib are always in evidence.
Without any scruples of conscience
their aim is office, and what would
these venal politicians not do &c
obtain and to hold everlastingly to
their jobs?

Tue CARPENTER OF NAZARETH.

The dream Of my life has been to
voice the essential teachings of the
Nazarene In newspaper English, to do
this as would write Of any other sub
ject, an editorial or news story. for ex-
ample. and without preteuse, theology
or cant.
still have this dream, and some day
am going to make it come true.
Today the newspaper is the avenue
of universal appeal. In a sense it is
the peoples pulpit.
Today the need Of the world in every
department Of our life is the spirit Of
these same teachings.
We need 1t in politics, in business. in
industry, in the school. in the home
and in the hearts Of the people.
The PRONUNCIATION Of these essential
truths Is not the monopoly Of any In
sutution or calling.
The teachings of the Nazarene are
the common property Of humanity.
Neither are they something apart
from our everyday affairs They are
woven into the very texture Of our life.
They are the essence Of modern de-
mocracy.
They are the very cornerstone Of
Americanism
They are alive with the spirit Of lib
erty.
They are as truth loving as modern
science
They are the loftiest common sense.
In spirit. II not In words. they recog-
uize the fact that perfect individuality
Fand brotherhood 60 together: that they
complete and fnlfill each other
Now and then It Is necessary for q
people to 90 hack to the fountain Of
their inspirat1on. 10 dnd the springs
from which flowed the stream of their
national life. to revive their ancient
literature and traditions. tn renew their
spirit and especial genius.
Ireland went through such a process
In the Gaelic renaissance It marvel
ously awakened the hand. even revtv.
ing Der Industries.
The springs of our inspiration are the
teachings OF the Nazarene. He was
the first democrat the reformer. the
apostle Of Brotherhood. Of peace. Of lib
erty OF conscience. OF the gospel Of
service
Would it not be great thing II we
could 60 back to this fountain to renew
the spirit Of onr institutions?
Here Is work for newspapers az

THE CALL OF THE FUTURE.

Three prime requisites are needed for
success in this age. The first is ener-
gy. The second Is faith. The third
is vision.
Never did the future so call to the
spirits of men as now. 1t holds out an
alluring prospect of the progress Of the
world. Vision Is needed to see the
mighty things In store
The men who win In big way are
those who dare This does not mean
recklessness, but the very opposite. 1t
means the ability to plan a campaign.
the quick understanding to perceive
how the plan will work out end the
courage to take chance.
Recklessness is blind. but the lead
ers required for the work Of the world.
for the great enterprises. must be any.
thing hut blind
They must know the psychology Of
men and be able In some degree to
read the future.
This reading of the future requires
no clairvoyance or second sight. That
which is to come is seen by the light
Of that which has gone. The currents
Of the world are perceived: the proba-
bnides are taken into account: the
chances are worked out to as near q
mathematical exactitude as that Is pos
sible
The winner Is the one who banks on
future progress In an Intelligent way.
who SO shapes his affairs that he will
profit by this progress. who looks
ahead.
knowledge Is required We mu
know our business down to the last de
tail. know it 80 that it becomes a habit
of thought
Imagination Is also necessary. With
our knowledge Of the business. Of the
trend Of the times and Of human ma
ture, we must build the picture Of that
which Is to be.
The successful chess player is he
who plans many moves ahead. He
knows in advance how to meet any
possible attack.
The young man who is wise In this
day looks to the future more than to
the past, or If he studies the past 1t
is only that he may better know the
future.
He does not take up a profession
that Is on the wane, but one that Is
growing. and he grows with it.
Who can measure the marvellous
strides that humanity will take in the
next twenty-five or fifty years?
Think how this development will call
for men!
Even now big employers will tell you
that there is a dearth Of $4,000 men.
Imagine how much greater the chances
for such men will be with the expand
ing enterprises Of the next generation.
The young man who has the right
STUFF In him. who is keen. ambitious
and alive to his opportunities, who
has energy. faith and vision. will pre-
Jare himself to meet this demand.
He will hear the call of the future.
