SOME BIG THINGS.

At the recent celebration of the formal
opening of the Jefferson Plaquemine Drain
age District Pumping Station, known as
the Hero plant, E. l.. Chappius, one of the
pioneer reclamation men of Louisiana, re-
citing some of the notable events in the his
tory of the State, said in part:
''The first big thing was the Battle of New
Orleans, fought just one hundred years
ago. That battle meant that between the
two greatest English speaking nations on
earth, peace had come forever.
"The second big thing was in 1874, right
here in the City of New Orleans, when a
few Lousanians, inspired by the love of
humanity, the love of justice, the love of
mercy and the love of home, drove out the
Carpet Baggers, and made Louisiana
emerge from dreary night Of peril and
darkness, into the sublime and noon day
light of Truth and Justice.
''As natural consequence of that tre-
mendous awakening of the conscience OF
the people of Louisiana, the third big
thing of the century in Louisiana happen
ed. With the minds of the people enight-
ened through the victory over the Carpet
Baggers, their conscience thoroughly
awakened, they cut out the cancer OF the
Louisiana Lottery. Later on they worked
the abolition of unclean, unsportsmanlike
and absolutely crooked horse-racing.'
Mr.. Chappius reckons the establishment
of the drainage system that will reclaim
thousands of acres of the richest land in
the world as "the biggest thing of the five
big things that has happened in the State
during the past hundred years. 1t is in
deed big thing-a great big thing! But
the biggest thing is yet to come-when the
people of Louisiana, in behalf of righteous
ness and the noble womanhood of Louisi-
ana shall drive the whisky devil out of the
State, making clean sweep from the Ar
kansas line to the Gulf OF Mexico. With
an honest election they could edo it now. .
God speed the day when whisky saloons
can no longer spit upon the laws of the
State. even treating with contempt the
Holy Sabbath Day.

For the iniquity of his covetousness was

way of his heart.-47, II.
Hearken to me We that follow after right

the rock whence We are hewn, and to the
hole of the pit whence We are digged.-51, /.

he created it not in vain, he formed it to be
Inhabited: am the Lord; and there is
none else.-45, Is.
