statement that "the men behind a can

Nothing more succinct In argument
was ever given, and its deductions are
absolutely resistless. One is always
judged by his friends, and none more
correctly so than the political candi-
date, as will be the conclusion of one
who considers carefully the principal
strength of the aforementioned can

Concerning our urging some one at

But we looked in vain through the

yet the editor, like the good fellow
nearly every editor is, gives him a
good ad for nothing, just for the sake
of the town. For public spirit and

Quotation and Comment
DIFFERENCE OF VISION.

The people of Louisiana can see no
difference between a Progressive and a
Republican. They both look so much
alike that it will take powerful micro
scope to discover the differentiation

If Col. Teddy Roosevelt and his Pro-
gressive supporters had been blessed
or cussed with the same delinquency
of vision three years ago the chances
are many to one the Democratic ma
tional ticket would have been defeated.
-Donaldsonville Chief.
The one and only difference that Col.
Ted and his supporters saw however,
was a possible return for their chief to
the White House. Otherwise they
were, and are, Republicans.

heat does not prompt men to crime.
as the social statisticians have found
that the severest cold does. Another
is that the worst temperature we are
called upon to face falls a long way
short OF the endurance limit Of the
human body and brain. as proved by
French experiments at the $50 degree
level. Another comes from the dis
covery through the newspapers. with
every prolonged hot wave, that we are
breaking the record" in some line
or other This ought to be a stimulus
to our pride. and II we wish to carry
further the beneficent influence of
mental suggestion, all we need to do
is to compare what is happening to us
with what has happened to various
other people at various other times.
For instance, when the encyclopedias
tell us that in A. ID. 627 the heat
