Quotation and Comment

Germany's policy in upholding the
"unspeakable Turk" is another proof
of the callousness of her conscience.
The claim that protecting Turkey is a
necessary political move will not bear
the light of conscience or humanity.
-Bastrop Enterprise
I And yet England and France did the
same thing in the Crimean War. Pres
ent conditions are retributive in their
effect upon these nations, but the
native Christians of Turkey are now,
as ever, the under-dog.
Judge Wallace of Winfield, La, has
announced himself ready to unite with
the Barrett forces and aid in the com
ing primary, in these words: For
some time | have been silent and have
studied where to stand in this fight
but when the leaders of the w. c. 7. U
propounded the question to Pleasant

A fellow who's bit of philosopher,
and a student of character as well,
may derive much entertainment for
himself If not others by forecasting
how the men, whom he knows, will
line up in any political campaign. This
is a favorite form of the writer's play
ing solitaire, and it is very interesting
to note how many successful prognos-
tications are scored. Taking tempera-
ment, character and circumstances, all
into account, one could of course pre-
dict with perfect certainty the lineup,
but since the attendant circumstances
cannot always be known, there are
necessarily some failures. 1t is a
pretty game. Try it. You will also
learn in time to spot with certainty
the men who run with the hounds and
hide with the hare.

No Democrat should allow himself
to be led astray by voting for the
Republican-Bull Moose candidate for
governor We don't believe that there
will be many 60 do this, and those who
do should not vote in the primary. No
one has any objection to them voting
for Mr.. Parker, but they should not try
to act double-handed in the matter by
voting for one of the Democratic can
didates and then knitting him at the
general election. They should think a
long time before they do such thing

THE FIRST CHRISTMAS PRESENTS

Every Sunday School child knows
what the first Christmas presents were,
the gold, frankincense and myrrh which
the magi, kneeling in humble homage
to the infant Jesus, presented to him
as one brings costly offerings to a king.
These were indeed kingly gifts accord
ing to the ideas and customs of those
times: gold always precious and OF
great value in every age and cline,
and frankincense and myrrh, especial
ly valuable in that time both as medi-
cine and perfume The wise men look
ed not on the surroundings of the new
born child, cave in the rocky hill
side, used ordinarily as stable for
kline. They looked not with disfavor
or doubt upon His manger-cradle, His
rough wrappings of swaddling clothes
for they remembered the prophecies
of the Ancients, they had just seen
His star in the East and seeking to
worship Him, they arrived and knelt
as before holy shrine, and their offer
ings were costly and rich.
Their eyes of faith had read the mes
sage Of the star, and when it led them
sage of the star, and when it led them to
Bethlehem they recalled the ancient
script concerning that humble village,
and recalling they believed that indeed
the coming of the Prince was at hand.
They buildSd better than they knew.
1t was indeed the coming of the Prince
of Peace, and the gifts they brought
were but the first fruits Of offerings,
grand churches and vast cathedrals the
future would bring forth In His Name.
These are al kingly gifts that Chris
tendon still devises for its Prince,
while among all Christian peoples the
interchange Of tokens Of love and good
will prevail, following a custom of
which the magi were the inceptors.
But let not one think only of the
costliness of the magian gifts. They
were undoubtedly as useful also, as the
most ardent "spug" could desire, for
when Joseph was warned of God in a
dream-perhaps saw in dream piano.
rama the massacre of infants that
Herod, the King, would institute in
quiet Bethlehem, dyeing those peace
full hillsides with innocent blood -
Joseph teok the young child and his
mother and fed into Egypt" there can
be little doubt that the wise mems
timely gifts met the expenses Of that
hurried fight And perhaps during all
the period of weary waiting in Egypt
for the time when it would be safe to
return home, it is pleasant to think
that "the gold the frankincense and
myrrh" provided bread and simple
shelter for the Prince, not of Israel
alone, but Of the world

IN M Ell ORIAM.

Mr.. F. S. Carney died at his home
at $3.50 Sunday morning, Dec. 10, 1915.
The death of this good man came as
great shock to his family and large
circle of friends. Although he had not
been well for some years he seemed
greatly improved, having spent the day
before in ST. Francisville, and arose
Sunday morning in the best of spirits
and talked of the happy homecoming
of his children for the Christmas holi
days; he then sat upon the gallery in
the sunshine where he spent some time
reading, then stepped into his room,
where his wife and daughter, Miss
Teresa, stood talking, but before he
could utter word his spirit had pass
ed into the Great Beyond. We shall
miss his cheerful face and his ever
helpful hand, for he was a devoted
father and a Christian gentleman, ever
ready to assist his fellow-men. He took
great interest in the little Union Church
which is being built in the Ninth Ward
and it was his wish to be able to
worship there. Could he have been
spared until April 18th he would have
been seventy-one years old. He leaves
his wife, five daughters and two sons
to mourn his loss.
A large number Of friends and broth
er Woodmen attended the funeral which
was held at the home Monday at 2:30
p. M, the services being conducted by
Rev. Tins of Jackson, La.
MRS. JESSE DANIEL.

The conditions pertaining to an ex-
cessively high income for the sheriff
Of Pointe Coupee seems to be COM
paratively recent. Mr.. Martin Glynn,
writing to the Pointe Coupee Banner,
says that when he retired from the
police jury In 1899, that parishwas out
Of debt, and that the sheriffs contract
with that body for maintenance and
conveyance of prisoners, ETC., was only
$3.50, and prior to 1897 was $3.50. The
subsequent large increase in the reve-
nues of The sheriff's Office and its
growth in political power makes it a
menace, which he and other citizens
are endeavoring to put down.

CREATING LITTLE INTEREST.

The candidates for the minor state
offices are attracting little apparent
interest. Baxter S. Braswell of Ruston
has pulled down from the state treas
urership contest, leaving only two con-
testants for that job, Henry Hunsicker
of Caddo and Robert H. Collins of
Franklin Judge A. V. Coco of Avoy-
Giles and w. F. Millsaps of Monroe are
in the race for attorney general. There
are besides the foregoing, five candi-
dates for lieutenant governor, three
for secretary of state, four for register
of the state land office, three for COM
missioner of agriculture and two for
state auditor State Superintendent Of
Public Education T. H. Harris has no
opposition for Democratic nomination.

PARKER PAPER FAIR.

We fail to see any degree of moral
turpitude in the fact that Lieut.. Gov.
Barrett wrote to a supposed friend in
July that he was local optionist and
favored the parish as the unit, and his
acceptance several months later of the
Anti-Saloon Leagues Endorsement on
the basis of favoring the enlargement
of the unit to the congressional dis
trict. To our unprecedented and nom
partisan vision the use to which this
personal and friendly letter has been
put involves a more serious breach of
the moral code than does the alleged
inconsistency of the prohibitionist can
didate for governor. = Donaldsonville
