He had been assailed with the foulest
innuendoes and had received some of
the most disgraeeful letters and post
cards it was possible to imagine, he
said. Within the past few weeks he
had received at the town hall a letter
casting the fOulest aspersions upon his
mother for being the parent of a black
mayor of Battersea.
Another letter was so scurTilous that
he was seriously considering whether
he should not take legal action with
regard to it. His position had been
made almost intolerable.

FROM OUR STATE EXCHANGES.

Shreveport Times: Germany stands in
dicted before the world for conducting war
in way that exhausts comparisons.
Lake Charles American-Press: New
Orleans rice men, with some honorable and
notable exceptions, are always trying to
tear down the AGRICULTURAL interests in their
territory instead of building them up.
New Orleans States: Kaiser Bill ought
to abandon his protest against the viola
ton of China's neutrality. In the light Of
the Belgium incident it is evident that he
does not come into court with clean hands.
New Orleans Christian Advocate: What
right have we to call ourselves Christian
people while we are contributing annually
only SIP 100000 or S13, 900, 900 for foreign
missions and are spending 81 200, 600, 900
for liquor?
New Orleans States: During the recent
fighting in France the German commanders
were instructed to seek out the British.
They did so with the result that every time
they found the British they had reason to
regret the discovery.
Lake Charles American Press: Doc.
Aswell announces that he is going to in
augurate fight to obtain pensions for the
Confederate veterans out of the Federal
treasury. If he can persuade his district
to keep him in congress until he accom-
plishes his task, he will be fixed for life.
Vermilion News: The newspapers are
giving too much attention to politics and
politicians. 1t is these newspaper notices
that magnify the Importance of Office
seekers, and make them what they are,
politically. Were it not for the newspapers
many of them would never be heard of,
and for this the newspapers are to blame
The office. seeker is after the salary. Cut
out the salary, and there would be very
few, if any, striving to serve the "deal
peepul." Let the politicians slide.

EccIesiaStes.

Vanity of vanities, saith the preacher;
all is vanity.-xii, 8.
The words Of the wise are as goads, and
as nails fastened by the masters of assem-
blies, which are given from one shepherd.
And further by these, my son, be adj
monished: of making many books there is
no end; and much study is WEAKNESS of
the flesh.-xii, IL.
And moreover, because the preacher was
wise, he still taught the people knowledge;
yea, he gave good heed, and sought out,
and set in order many proverbs.-xii, 8.
In the morning SOW thy seed, and in the
evening withhold not thine hand: for thou
knowest not whether shall prosper, either
this or that, or whether they both shall be
alike good.-xi, 6.
The words Of wise mans mouth are
gracious; but the lips of fool will swallow
up himself. The beginning of the words
of his mouth is foolishness; and the end of
his talk is mischievous madness. A fool
also is full Of words: man cannot tell
what shall be after him, who cannot him?

TRUE, BUT SINISTER.

A certain brewing company in an adver-
tisement with which it adorns 90 the front
page of IA liquor journal, says: cit pays
to give your customers five cents worth of
value for every nickel they spend" Quite
true. But there are thousands of people
who do not know values, and that is why
they spend their nickels for that which is
not bread, and their substance for that
which satisfieth not.
The same firm, nameless here, further
declares: ''lf you take care of your GUS
tomers-give them good, pure beer, they'll
take care of you-they'll come back again,
and bring their friends" Only too true
again-the men who drink take good care
of the saloon keeper and brewer, but most
of them impoverish themselves and their
families in doing so. Society bears this
burden. Yet brewers boast of what their
business does for the commonwealth.

Philosophy and War.
From the Baltimore Sun.

From the Baltimore Sum-
What is the chief end of man? What is
the chief end of nations Are democrats
better than autocracies and are democra-
cies possible while autocracies exist?
Must warfare be the chief trade of pro-
gressive nation? Must the best minds of
nations that hope to live and to prosper be
devoted to the study and the practice of
warfare? If not, how are the peace-lov-
ing nations to stand against those which
are expert in war? Advocates of peace,
of a halt in ornaments, of arbitration
treaties and Hague conventions have had
to examine their creed very carefully in
the last six weeks, and some of them doubt
less are disposed to forsake it.
Therein, to our mind, lies the great dan
ger of a decisive German victory in the
present struggle. If she wins, her war
policy will be INDICATED. Nietzsche's
theory of Might over Right will be vindi-
Gated. Every nation the world over will
begin to consider how it can make itself
mightier than its rivals. A competition in
ornaments will begin beside which that of
the last quarter of a century will fade into
insignificance. The peace philosophy
which has been taking root will be utterly
destroyed and philosophy of blood and
iron will take its place. And therein, we
are convinced, lies the greatest guarantee
that Germany cannot be completely sue
cessful in her present warfare. The world
cannot stand a philosophy such as this.

WHAT THE PAPERS ARE SAYING.

New York Times: The American peo-
pie instinctively feel ann know that the
complete triumph of Germany in this great
conflictinvolves not distant peril to them
selves.
Frank Leslie's Weekly: Let US have
peace throughout the world. We can
never have it as long as arsenals and bat
tleships are of greater consequence to a
nation than churches and school houses.
New York Sun: To murder wontonly
and futilely, to STAY or mangle little chill
dren and young mothers in their beds, to
salute the Red Cross flag with bomb, to
slaughter and terrorize non-combatants,
random destruction with no military re-
suits, with no permanent result except to
sicken and anger all civilized mankind
this is war as practiced on city by Ger
many from Zeppelin airships.

A. J. Kemp, eighty Height years old, a

test of all the guns in the canal fortifica-
tions has been completed. The test was

the neutrality of the waterway.
Generally speaking, the most important
articles We import from Germany are man
ufactured chemicals, dye stuffs, fine glass
ware, drugs, scientific apparatus, machin-
cry, toys and high grade manufactures.
Chemicals are the most important raw
materials received from Germany. AS a
matter of fact, we get little from Germany
that we could not manufacture or produce
ourselves.
We take the following paragraph from
the weekly cotton review of the Memphis
Commercial Appeal of Monday, the 14th !:
"The cotton crop has developed along
normal lines within the last fortnight.
Bolls have opened rapidly and picking is
being rushed, with the end in view of har-
vesting the crop as quickly as possible.
The outturn, while generally satisfactory,
is hardly up to expectations raised two
weeks ago. In weevil infested areas great
damage is reported from ravages of the
pest, while the army worm has done con-
siderable damage, especially in the low
lands. In the lowlands of Mississippi and
Arkansas some damage has also resulted
from rust and rot. Little cotton is being
offered for sale, the most of it being either
stored in warehouses or hauled back to the
farm to await higher prices. In many Sec
tons Of the belt warehouses are being built
to house the surplus cotton. This is es-
pecially true of Oklahoma, where ware.
houses are reported being built practically
all over the State. The same is true to q
lesser extent in Texas. Buy-a-bale clubs
are also active in most sections OF the belt
and are taking quite a respectable amount
Iof cotton from the market.
