FROM OUR STATE EXCHANGES.

New Orleans States: A young man in
Philadelphia was fined SIS for embracing
two college girls. Foolish boy: He ought
to learn the tango and save his money:
Louisiana Democrat: There is many q
young man proud of his mother, who would
strike into the dust any man who would in
suit her, yet who, by his own evil doings
and bad habitsis sharpening dagger to
plunge through that mothers heart.
Colfax Chronicle: Grant Parish has
tried prohibition for generation and has
no idea of ever allowing saloons to be open
ed in her borders again. The last time we
voted on the question the prohibitionists
carried the election by fraction over three
to one. If another election on the subject
was to be held to-day the saloons would be
voted out by a majority of fully four to one.
New Orleans Picayune: In Tangipahoa
become practically the main industry and
the parish grows probably the finest berries
in the South. The strawberry crop distrib-
uted several million dollars to the Tangip-
ahoa farmers last year, and it is expected
that, should the weather continue favora-
BILE this season, the parish will produce a
oo,UUU,UUU perry crop.
Shreveport Caucasian: The opposition
to the Mongoiians, including the Hindus
and other undesirables, should be encour-
aged. The protection of future generations
of the native born and of the homeseekers
of the Caucasian race demands the exclu-
sion of every desirable. As the negro
problem is gradually being adjusted, we
should, as American citizens, not invite an
ENHANCEMENT with the Mongolians, which
would be more serious than the African.
Monroe News Star: So far as society
is affected in its other grave concerns than
money making, the more educated it is the
more certain it is of progressive triumph
over organized greed, corrupt finance,
bossism and graft. Don't let US forget that
education has brought US up-at least a
little way-from the early business condi-
tons under which the biggest human brute
with the heaviest club freely took his
choice of the cocoanuts without regard to
right or reason.
In an editorial on clean literature in the
homes of the people, the Baton Rouge
Country Review expresses our sentiments
in the following paragraph: Prominent
among the great educative forces of the
age is the newspaper which comes into
homes of the people daily, weekly and
monthly, bringing to every member of the
family messages of hope and high inspi-
ration or suggestions of indecency, inn
morality and vileness. The Country Re-
view insists that the rights of the subscri-
Der take precedence over those of the
advertiser, and that the permanent and
paying portion of the subscribers to every
prominent newspaper is not the scandal
monger and the sensationalist, but it is
the solid, law abiding, moral members of
the community. When our great metro
politan newspapers come to realize this
fact the interests of the home and the
rights of the subscriber will receive more
consideration than is presently accorded
to them. Nobody has right to poison
the homes of the land by introducing
therein under the guise of news such I'M
speakable matter as Is now given the big
gest display in the daily press of to-day
More laws, more Offices, more taxes in
variably follow in the wake Of the Legisla-
