THE GREAT CONFLICT
THE GERMAN VIEW.
(By Hugo Won Kleist.)

Pursuing her arrogant policy of con-
traband, Great Britain has practically
throttled this country's hundred mil
lion dollar copper export trade, the
value of her seizures up to the first
of the year aggregating, even at de-
press market prices, three and half
million dollars.
While the great copper interests OF
America have made insistent protests
to the department of state-but with
out avail-the conditions and restric-
lions placed upon the rubber and wool
industries have, under the stress of
circumstances, been assented to by
manufacturers voluntarily. Great Bri
tain's sea policy was effective in shut
ting off supplies necessary for the
conduct of business Great Britain
took advantage to make her own
terms. That these terms conflict with
the laws of the United States was no
obstacles to Great Britain's sea policy.
Great Britain took advantage to make

and consent of Great Britain, accord

NOW FISH TOWS A FISHERMAN
One Captive Propels Boat While other
Is Played and Landed by Florida
Sportsman.

Palm Beach.-Reginald Durant Of
Saratoga had a fishing experience out
of the usual recently. He had two
lines out from small boat in the Gulf
stream, Jewish taking one and a
sailfish the other at the same time.
He tied the Jewish to the bow and let
him tow the boat a couple of miles
while he played the sailfish.
The Jewish was the size of the or
iginal porpoise and weighed 275
pounds. The sailfish was four and a
half feet long, too small to get into
the Sailfish club contest
An amusing incident of the bathing
beach was the appearance on shore of
pelican, so tame it allowed George
Singer and others to stroke it's head
and neck. Sinclair Bordan of Toledo

was victim of mental alteration.

WAY OF A WOMAN.

Why is it that though women are
taught that marriage is their mission
in life, any open effort on their part to
fulfill that mission is met with sneers
and ridicule? There is a theory that
the truly "Womanly" woman must
modestly conceal any wish she may
cherish to win the affections of given
man, but must sit at home until he
seeks her out of his own accord. This
is a theory entertained probably by
most men, and good many women at
least affect to believe it; though, as a
matter of fact, the womanly woman Of
all others is the one who most actively
Iexerts herself to gain her coveted
prize. She spins her little web, she
inveigles the unsuspecting man into
its meshes-innocently enough, oh, yes
and he is lost, though he fatuously
believes that he went of his own free
will and accord.
The fact that the most womanly of
women, as they are commonly classed,
may practically do the counting and
never be charged with anything un-
maidenly is set out with extreme clev-
erness in the latest novel by Henry
Snyder Harrison, author Of "Queed"
The "way of maid" who has chosen
marriage as a career and is home
body" in capturing husband has not
been so well depicted in any recent
novel. But as it was the fuIfillment of
her obvious destiny, why blame her or
her kind for the exercise of their arts?
Indianapolis Star.
All of the above is true, but the
Indianapolis Star fails to point out that
with all his cleverness, and with all
the seeming simplicity that Angela dis
played in steadily pursuing her "busi-
ness" (of getting husband) Mr. Har-
rison has signally failed in making
Angela lovable. On the contrary, the
impression on her friends in the story,
who see through her, is distinctly I'M
pleasant, and like effect is made upon

WHY REFORM DIsINTEeRATEs

An exchange says that "once a re-
form movement wins, it's organization
goes to pieces and it's 0fice-h0lders
lose sight of the fact that the people
are their BOSSES" We beg to differ
with our contemporary as to the cause
Of the disintegration of reform organi-
zation. 1t is not that such an organiza-
ton forgets why and whence it draws
it's power 1t recognizes the supreme
power of the people, but as reform
must work through human instruments,
it finds itself working with very faulty
tools.
Reform movements, at their very in
cipiency. become loaded down with the
hungry "outs," the place-hunters Of
every description who knowing they
can do nothing with the "ins" see in
reform means to their secret ends
Therefore, all insincerely they shout
reform as heartily as the most devoted
reformer, and they work too for the
success of the movement they have
selfishly adopted.
Reform wins. What then? 1t must
necessarily put some of these false
reformers in office, out of comon polit-
ical expediency. Such men in office soon
forget the shibboleth of reform. They
discredit the organization that put
them in power.
Again, since there are not sufficient
offices TO go round, pledged as it is to
economy of administration, the men
left out at once become more bitterly
the enemies of the reform organization
than the original opposition itself.
Thus reform organization disinte-
CRATES, battered by forces from without
and within
On the other hand, a machine organi-
cation, unhampered by reform pledges,
cares for its own always, and therefore
holds together, with a compactness
that even an adverse election does
not shake.

DIME FUND FOR CHARITY
HOSPITAL.

Chit, the great fair planned for the
benefit of the Charity Hospital of New
Orleans, has been greatly interfered
with by the terrible storm, which de-
stroyed it's building, and later by the
exceedingly inclement weather 1t is
not probable that the results aimed for
. in the affair will be realized. Many of
the parishes, and many organizations
or individuals in the parishes, are com
ing to the rescue, to supplement the
efforts of Chit swelling the fund by
entertainments and subscription lists.
What will West Feliciana do? Let
not the answer be, Nothing" The
Charity Hospital does too much for the
INDECENT sufferers throughout the state,
for any parish to fail in sending in a
contribution to the fund designed for
putting in needed comforts and con-
veniences into this great institution.
A charitable lady Of st. Franeisville
suggests a dime fund, to be joined in
by both white and colored people. The
amount asked for is so small that it
can be spared by even the poorest
citizen, and yet, if contributed by at
least one or two in every family would
make up goodly sum for the Charity
Hospital, that has done so much for
the poor, both white and black, of this
parish.
Recognizing the aforementioned fact,
is the reason that colored citizens are
also asked to contribute, that they may
have the pleasure of returning some
thing to the institution that cares for
their sick In so many cases Lists of
contributors will be gladly published in
these columns, showing how many of
our people have open hearts and purses
for this call of those in need.
We suggest further that some one
in each ward constitute himself, or
herself, special agent to secure dona-
tons It is hoped that something
definite will be ready to be reported
by next week.

WHICH OF THE TWO?

The New Orleans States says sig
nificantly: "The city organization is

one of them, Mr. Barrett, because Mr..
Barrett, for political expediency, has

hibition into the campaign and pro-
poses to deny the people of New Or
leans the Democratic right his own
people enjoyed of settling the question
of the licensed sale Of liquor them

Which of the remaining two will be
chosen? Those who are waiting to see
who it is the city bosses favor so as to
choose some one else are getting their
choice limited.

NOTHING IN 1T.

If Mr.. Parker were running as a
Democrat, or even as an Independent,
he would be almost an unbeatable can
didate, but with his Bull Moose prin-
ciples and affiliations, Democrats, how
ever carried away with admiration for
him as man, should conclude that his
handicap is a too serious one for them
to help him to bear AS we have said
before, the Progressive party is, with
out influence nationally, and the pres
ent outlook is decidedly for continual
ton of Democratic supremacy. Mr..
Wilson's feats in diplomacy, saving the
country from participation in the Euro
pean war, have strengthened not only
himself but the national democracy.

BUYERS WANT TOO MUCH.
(Farm and Ranch.)


A few weeks ago small-town mer.
chant stated to the writer that unless
business improved materially during
the winter of 1856 he would sell out
and retire.
He had been in business "at the same
stand" for over twenty years and
admitted" that he was thoroughly
familiar with local conditions, having
kept abreast the times in matters per-
tanning to merchandise embraced in
his business.
In answer to my query as to the
causes for the steady. and apparently
permanent, decrease in his volume of
business, he advanced the opinion that
buyers expect too much for their
money, mot only in quantity and quail
ity of goods, but in service" as well.
In substantiation of this contention
he related how he had lost the patron
age of one of his best customers be-
cause he refused to furnish an operator
for sewing machine bought from him.
He went on to say that the purchaser
OF the machine, who didn't have sense
enough to properly care for and operate
it." expected him to assume this service
gratis.
A talk with the purchaser developed
the fact that her request for informa-
ton had been met with so much dis
courtesy that she had decided to trade
elsewhere. She had influenced friend
to do likewise.
This incident contains a moral for
merchants of the moss-back class that
they cannot afford to overlook.

MORE FOOD; BETTER FARMING.
birmingham Age-Herald.)

Marinette County, Wisconsin, has a
farmer, w. c. Wyckoff, who has clear.
ed and cultivated 80 acres of land with.
out ever having horse upon the place.
Wyckoff is not a disciple of old-time
methods, either; in fact, he goes to
the other extreme and uses nothing
but gasoline power. His 11-ton tractor
supplied all the power for clearing and
breaking the land, blowing, planting
the crop and for cultivating and har,
vesting it. For travelling Wyckoff uses
his automobile and therefore dispenses
with driving horse.
Not many years ago men were har-
yesting with scythe and cradle; then
the harvester brought a wonderful
change in farming methods and cor
responding extension of farming opera
tons. Now the horse is proving too
slow and inefficient for modern methods
and the power tractor supersedes mans
old-time friend
Pessimists may deplore the diminish
ing demand for the horse on sentiment
tai grounds, but the fact remains that
increased production is the result of
modern methods sand whatever adds
to the food supply increases general
prosperity and better conditions.

ocrats of Louisiana are absolutely with
out grievance, and their party deser-
ton is consequently without excuse.
How much more so would be fresh de-
sertions from the party, based solely
on personal admiration of Mr.. Parker.
To elect him-a Progressive would be
simply to weaken Louisiana nationally,
and to fasten Progressive oftice-holders
upon us in our local government, as
Mr.. Parker would certainly have to
recognize his friends in making ap-

UNAIDED.

Oake Charles American-Press.)
The Governor has had his hands full
! fighting to keep his explicit campaign
promises to the voters. And in max
| ing these fights, 1t is proper to state,
the governor stood alone. Opposed to
him then, and throughout his term,
were all the forces that greed, ambi-
ton to hold office and envy and dis
appointment could muster.
People who realized and appreciated
the fact that the governor was battling
for the interests of the state,
stood on the side lines and enjoyed
the show without word of help The
governor was the chosen Democratic
leader of the state, but Democrats of
prominence united in obstructing his
efforts and setting his plans at naught.
1t is in consequence of this attitude
'of indifference that Democratic candi-
dates make as few issues and promises
as possible. This is why it has been
left to John NJ Parker, Progressive
candidate, to make a clear-cut issue
against the system of paying many
officials excessive and unreasonable
compensation. This is why the Demo-
cratic organization of the state faces
the most dangerous situation it has
encountered in twenty years.
Bitter experience has taught candi-
dates that they must avoid big issues,
raise no voice in behalf of the reforms
the people really need, but must keep
on the safe path of mediocrity and
depend upon factionalism, place hunt
ers and personal friends to pull them
through.
