KNOW THY COUNTRY
introductory

fKnow America" is a slogan that
should ring out from every school
room, Office, farm and shop in this ma
ton. No man can aspire to a higher
honor than to become a capable citi-
zen, and no one can merit so dis
tinguished title until he is wen in
formed Of the resources, possibilities
and achievements of our country.
This is q commercial age and civ
ilization is bearing its most golden
fruit in America. We are noted for
our industrial achievements as Egypt
was noted for her pyramids; Jerusa-
lem for her religion; Greece for her
art Phoenicia for her fleets; Chaldea
for her astronomy and Rome for her
laws. Likewise we have men who will
go down in the worlds history as pow
erful products of their age. For, stand
ing at the source Of every gigantic
movement that sways civilization is a
great man. The greatest minds travel
in the greatest direction and the COM
mercial geniuses of this age would
have been the sculptors, poets, phil
osophers, architects, and artists Of
earlier civilizations
AS Michael Angelo took rock and
with a chisel hewed it into the image
of an angel that ever beckons man
kind upward and onward, Hill took
the desert of the Northwest and with
bands of steel made it blossom like g
rose, dotted the valleys with happy
homes and built cities in waste places.
As Gutenberg took blocks Of wood
and whitfield them into an alphabet
and made a printing press that
flashed education across the con-
tinent like a ray Of light upon
a new born world, Mccormick took

bar of iron and bent IT into
a reaper and with one sweep of
his magic mind broke the shackles
that enslaved labor Of generations yet
unborn, and gave mankind freedom
from drudgery. and lifted the human
race into higher zone of life
As Nelson organized the English navy
and made England mistress Of the sea,
enabling the British Isles to plant her
flag upon every continent washed by
the oceans waves, and to make foot
stools of the Islands of every water,
Morgan organized a banking system
that has made America master Of the
worlds finances, brought Kings 10 cur
cashiers windows, the nations OF the
earth to our discount desks and placed
under the industries of this nation
financial system as solid as the Rock
Of Gibraltar.
There is no study quite so interest
ing as progress; no sound so magic
as the roar OF industry and no sight
so inspiring as civilization in action

POOR OLD ARKANSAW,

He gets up at the alarm of Con-
aecticut clock, buttons his Chicago
suspenders to Detroit overalls; wash

Pennsylvania pan; sits down to a
Grand Rapids table; eats Chicago
meat and Tennessee flour, cooked
with Kansas lard on st. Louis
stove; puts New York bride on
Kentucky mule, fed with Iowa corn;
plows a farm covered by an Ohio

Cannot Be Sidetracked.

Shreveport Caucasian: The issue of
Statewide prohibition cannot be sidetrack-
ed. 1t is alive. 1t is paramount to every
ISSUE, the State financial question not ex-
cepted, but at the very onset Of the DEM
ocratic contest for Governor the citizens Of
the State are confronted with the emphatic
pronouncement of Ruffin G. Pleasant that
''should | be elected Governor and the
Legislature passes Statewide prohibition
bill would veto it." There has never been
SO bold and 50 radical declaration by a
Democratic candidate in Louisiana. In
this declaration Mr.. Pleasant has practi-
cally assumed the attitude Of the French
king: Il am the State" This attitude is
not only undemocrtic but it is revolution
airy. Il is a defiance Of whatever may be
the will Of the majority of the people ex-
pressed through their Legislature, and it
should be resented by every freeman, re-
gard!ess Of his personal friendship for
Col. Pleasant. The only reasonable inter-
prstation of Tits def by Col. Pleasant is
that he has given notice OF his determine
ton to nullify the will Of the majority Of
the people il it be for Statewide prohibition.
Is it safe to invest gentleman with views
SO radically undemocratic with the office
Of Governor Of Louisiana?
