SENATE IN SCRAPPING
 MOOD THURSDAY

Little Rock, Feb. 21.-Just naturally in a scrapping mood, the Senate Thursday afternoon fought right through until time for adjournment, and would then have had it all over again on a motion to adjourn until : o'clock when local legislation would be considered, had t h ere been enough supporting t he night session to make any decent sort ot fight. When the motion was placed before the Senate Carl Lee, who had made it, and Toler were the only two to vote in that direction.
 The main fight of the day was upon Senate Bill 132, Holt, pro- viding for inspection of hospi- ta!s, boarding schools and all in stltutions where minors are kept. This bill looked innocent enough, but it turned out to be an anti. Catholic measure. aimed at convents, though the author declared there was no such in- tention on his part when the bill was introduced.
 The argument was long and loud, with Covington, Jacobson and Going arguing against the bill, and Holt and Toler for it. Those who opposed the bill called attention to the present laws of habeas corpus, which give relief to any one who are oppressed, and they argued there was no demand for such a drastic meas ure.
 Senator Jacobson and Senator Toler had little argument in connection with Senator Toler's insiuuation the institutions were not always properly attended to, and that many children were cruelty treated. Senator Jacob son demanded positive informa- tion from h e Senator from Grant, and when he could not cite specific instances, called it cowardly for memeber of the Senate to make such an asser- tion on the floor, abusing charit- able institutions when they had 20 chance 10 defend themselves at all.
 In closing for the bill Senator Holt stated that if there is no de. mand for such a bill now, there is in other states, and Arkansas will soon follow. He called at tention to newspaper clippings which told of girls being sent to Catholic institutions by courts, where they remained for many months, despite efforts to have them released.
 On vote being taken, the bill was killed by vote of 20 to 10.

THE HOUSE FLY.

The fly is nuisance besides be-
ing a carrier of infectious diseases,
and the attempt to exterminate it
needs no justification. How one can
make ones home, town or city fly
less is described by C. F. Hodge Of
Clark University, Worcester, Mass.
He says that the American public
spends $10,OO0,000 a year for window
and door screens in a futile attempt
to exclude a lively insect which III
sists on getting into the house every
time the doors are opened. He be-
Ieves also that the method of swat
ting the flies, using fly-paper or in
door traps or poisons is ineffective,
but may help. His method is to make
use in various ways of the conical
Wire-mesh fly-trap, which is familiar
to almost every one, in such a way
as to turn the tables on the flies
and put them in Jail and let our
selves out" The plan involves, of
course, the abolition as far as posi-
bic of all breeding and feeding places
for flies and the application of the
fly-trap, mentioned above to the gar
bage can, to the screens on windows,
TO the covers on manure-bins, etc,
all Of which can be done by little
mechanical ingenuity. Garbage cans
are on the market which have a coy
er larger than the can and not fit
ting down closely on it so that the
flies gain access to the can under the
cover and escape through hole IN
the cover over which is fixed fly
trap. In fighting the fly, Hodge has
found that the essentials of a sue
cessful campaign are to transfer the
fight against the fly from the house
to outdoors, and then to exterminate
it. Another essential feature in
town or city is that households must
cooperate, ignorant or careless home
can breed flies enough to vitiate the
best endeavors of a whole town.
Hodge has succeeded in his neigh
b0rhood in practically eliminating
flies; he uses no screens in windows
and doors, and can sit out doors or
have windows or doors open at any
time without molestation. AS flies
begin to breed early in the spring
and as they breed with marvellous
rapidly, the time to arrange for
fly-eampaign is in the winter.-Crow-
lew Signal.

WEBER SENTENCED.

Former City Judge Dudley L. Weo,
er. convicted of forgery, was sen.
fenced to seven years confinement
in the state penitentiary at hard la.
Dor.
When the Judge asked Weber is he
had anything to say why sentence
should not be passed he replied:
Nothing whatever"
Reports recently published in some
Of the New Orleans papers to the
effect that a petition is being circu-
lated to secure a pardon for Weber
is absolutely without foundation
Friends of Weber state that a petit
ton will not be circulated for Two
or three years.
Allen Dougherty, uncle of Weber's
wife, was the only one of Weber's
relatives in the court room.

6URLEsoN's HERcuLEAN TASK.

There was considerable demand for
Southern man for Commissioner of
Agriculture, but President Wilson in
giving the South the office of post

much for real democracy, as South,

put down those evils which have
grown up in the post office depart.

man without judge, jury, or counsel

Mr.. Burleson will check this undem-
ocratic action he will do much for

Louisiana is far better off in the
matter Of tubercular cattle than the
sister states of the north, according
10 Dr. George B. Taylor, bacteriolo-
gist of the State Board of Health.
The per centage of cattle showing tu-
berculosis infection is less than two
per cent. "The State Board of Health,
IN common with the United States
government experts and with the
State Live Stock Sanitary Board
could eradicate tuberculosis entirely
in Louisiana if the means to compen-
safe the farmer for the destruction
OF his COWS was in hand" said DR.,

TO MAIL ORDER HOUSES.

If the mail order houses are net
to have the business of your town,
the home merchant must convince
the people that they can save money
by trading at home.
Most persons would rather buy at
home than through mail order
house, if they believe they are get
ting square deal at home.
If country merchant is such a
poor business man that he must
charge two profits in order to come
out even, the sooner he goes out of
business the better.
There are country merchants who
give just as good values as any mail
order house. There are merchants
whc keep mail order catalogs in their
store and invite their customers to
compare prices. Such merchants do
not howl about the mail order peril"
Their customers are satisfied and
have no desire to send away For
their goods.
When the people of a community
buy from mail order houses, some
thing is wrong, but the editor is try
ing to drag the cat out by the tail
when he breaches duty" at the peo-
pie. 1t is the merchant who needs
waking up.-V. V. D., in the Kansas

SEEDS TESTED FREE.

The United States department OF
agriculture is maintaining at Baton
Rouge, in cooperation with the ex.
pertinent station, a seed testing lab
oratory for the purpose of determin-
ing the purity and fertility of field
and garden seeds for the farmers.
This work is done without charge,
but the farmers are not availing them,
selves of the privilege as extensive
ly as they should.
They should send in samples of
farm seeds to be tested. About a
tablespoonful of small seeds should
be sent, or about two ounces of seeds
of a larger structure.
The work that has been done so
far shows great variation in the
equality Of seed on the market. It
will serve as a double protection if
the farmers will patronize the labo-
ratory. There are dealers who would
be deferred from sending out infer
lor seed if they knew there was a
probability of the seed being tested
for purity and termination, and it
is desired to have this work estab-
lished to such an extent that it will
be effective in preventing the sale of
impure and adulterated seed in the
territory served by this laboratory.

tanned for example in the Nicene
creed, stand as expressions of his
own faith, by reading into them mean
ings which they cannot possibly bear.
II is this Juggling with words, this

as substance Of doctrine" and the
like, that have driven many honest
minds entirely out or sympathy with
the organized Churches Of Christ.
lie lack of mora honor involved In
such line of conduct keeps many a
young man out OF the Christian min
istry. He fears that pressure may
sometime be brought upon him TO abb
dictate his spiritual freedom
This fear is rapidly disappearing
under the progress which all churches
are making. Only few months ago
the great Presbyterian Church ordain-
ed in New York several young men
who refused to declare their belief
though they did not affirm their uH-
belief in the Virgin Birth and in the
physical resurrection OF Jesus Thus
one of our doctrinally most congerva-
tive Christian communions has de-
clared for the liberty Of its clergy up
on these two ancient dogmas.
The great value Of Mr.. Churchills
presentation lies in his clear enuncia.
tion Of several great truths in the rev.
elation of Jesus Christ, namely that
religion is a matter fundamentally be
tween God and the individual soul,
that when a man awakes to the sound
of Gods voice within him and sur.
renders thereto he Is born spiritually
and that the life which flows from
such an experience must be one Of
growing unity with all the individuals
These simple and always revolutions
airy truths are sounded forth in this
novel with startling clearness and fine
forcefulness The book deserves to
be read by every thoughtful person.
1t is especially novel for Honolulans
to ponder and take great pleasure In
commencing 1t unreserVedly to all oul
people.
If any one expects, however, to find
in this novel a constructive solution Of
the problem Of the modern church, he
will be disappointed. That solution
/ no single man is large enough to out

fcation of all Christian communions

The Inside Of The Cup
Reviewed by pr. Doremus Scudder
a BOOK FOR EYRRYB0DY mo- RRAp

of which II Is not too much TO say
that the platform of the Progressive
Party, adopted in Chicago last year,
was an outgrcwth. All the items in
Mr.. Churchilfs social arraignment OF
the church and not a few others up
on which he does not touch were
thoroughly dealt with in that plat
form. This utterance formally and
authoritatively arrayed the churches
of America directly against every soc
ial abuse named in The Inside
Of the Cup Doubtless there are
still churches with men like EIdon
Parr in their membership, but very
few Of them today are dominated as
st. Johns was by capitalists Of this
order. Ministers taking the Official
utterances OF the Federated Church
es Of the Nation as texts may preach
with all the fervor of John Holder
against the evils Of our present social
system, and stir no opposition. Not
only their own denomination, but the
entire Protestant body is behind them.
Yet though this is true, it is dis
tinet gain to have the vision of the
coming social order presented SO
fcrcefully as It is in this book. Novels
that deal with this theme are null
tiplying. Every one Of them adds
fnel to the name that Is consuming
present-day social evils.
But where Mr.. Churchill deserves
the gratitude Of all sincere souls, in
whom the Life of God is being given
free scope, Is in his fine championship
OF the right Of the individual to form
his own conceptions OF religious truth
under the guidance Of the Spirit of
God. He voices the demand for free
dom of faith in language that all can
understand In only one particular
