Judge Thos. H. Lewis, of Ope.
lousas. died in the Touro mfr.
mary at New Orleans last Thurs.
day. The death of this estimable
gentleman is q sad blow to his
State which he served as citizen
with marked ability and unselfsh
patriotism. His name is intim-
ately connected with the best his
tory of Louisiana since his early
manhood. HE was q Confederate
soldier. After the war between
the States. he was a leader in the
great struggle for white supre-
macy, and profound and cour.
ageous defender of the integrity
of the Democratic party. He was
active in all public matters that
effected the commonwealth, but
he never sought public Office and
always refused political official
preferment. The State could ILL
afford the loss of this pure, able
and honored citizen and patriot.

HARTMAN PROGRESSIVE:
When the Chieftain abb
sorbed the Hartman Progress
sive list we did SO with the
understanding that same
was paid in advance, and
that all subscriptions, on ac-
count of the difference in
price of that paper and this,
expired on Oct. 18th, 1914.
Therefore, all subscrip-
tions received from the pur-
chase of said list expire on
that date-if you so choose.
We believe that you people
will now wish to continue
taking the Holly Chieftain
and assure you that we would
be pleased to have you so do.
1t is our intention to pro-
cure a correspondent from
the Hartman district (the
former Progressive owners
hoving failed to provide us
with one) and we will en-
deavor to give you all the
news of this entire section
without fear or favor. .
If you do not wish the
Chieftain to continue coming
to you kindly drop us a post
al telling US to discontinue
same after the above date.
If you DO NOT SO notify US
we will take it for granted
that you wish same, and will
continue sending it to you
and collect for so doing.

THE CALL OF
THE COUNTRY

Rural life offers to young men days
Of toll and nights of study. 1t offers
frugal fare and plain clothes. 1t Of
fers lean bodies, hard muscles, horny
hands and furrowed brows. 1t Of
fers wholesale recreation to the ex-
tent necessary to maintain the high
est efficiency. 1t offers the burden of
bringing up large families and train
ing them in the productive life. It
offers the obligations of using all
wealth as tools and not as means of
self-gratificatioh. 1t does not offer
the insult Of life of ease, or aes.
thetic enjoyment, or graceful con-
sumption or emotional ecstasy. It
offers. instead. the joy of productive
achievement, Of participating in the
building up of higher rural cviliza-
ton.
To young women also it offers toll.
study, frugal fare and plain clothes
such as befit those who are honored
with a great and difficult task. 1t
offers also the pains, the burdens and
responsibilities of sacred motherhood
1t offers the obligation and perpetual
tion in succeeding generations the
principles of the productive life made
manifest in themselves. 1t does not
offer the insult of life of pride and
vanity. 1t offers the joys of achieve
ment, of self-expression not alone
in dead marble and canvas, but also
in the plastic lives of children to be
shaped and moulded into those ideal
forms Of mind and heart which their
dreams have pictured.

The Problem Of the Laymen. "
There never was a time when
preachers and politicians formed an
unholy alliance that civilization did
not shrek out and christianity cry
aloud. Since the beginning of gov
srnment. politicians have sought to
decoy the ministry into the meshes Of
politics and make them carry banners
In political professions. They have
taken the ministry to the mountain
top of power and offered to make them
monarch of all they surveyed, and
while most of them have said, "get
thee behind me Satan" few have
fallen with crash that has shaken
every pulpit in christendom.
The ministry, unsophisticated and
connding, is no match for the poll
clan versed in artful persuasion and
skilled in deceit. and it is the duty of
the laymen to protect the ministry
against the onslaught of these wolves
IN sleeps clothing and drive the poll.
icians from the pulpit with the lash
Of public scorn. 1t is the laymen's
problem to keep the ministry free
from unholy alliances, for 1t is said
on divine authority that we are our
brothers keeper.
y Political Prayer Meetings.
It is sad day for christianity when
the church bells call the communicates

ing. Such gatherings mark the high
tide of religious political fanaticism.
put bitterness into the lives of men;
ian the flame Of class hatred and de.
stroy christian influence in the COM
munity. The spirit actuating such
meetings is anarchic, un-Christlike
and dangerous to both church and
state.
1t must be said to the credit Of tho
church that the political preacher il
fast disappearing and may his in
nuence ever wane and his shadow ever
grow less is the prayer of the farmers
Of this nation.
