Our Leadericss Congress-.

Memphis Commercial Appeal: 1t would
be better for the country and for the pros
perity of the Democratic party this fall if
the present Congress were not in session.
The quality Of its leadership is inferior.
The average intelligence of its membership
is below par. 1t has no grasp OF the prob
lens that are of Importance. 1t has man.
Tested no knowledge on the situation con-
fronting our people, and it has nothing to
offer that would De helpful to the Executive
in carrying this nation safely through a
crisis that is more serious than any that
has existed since the Civil War
Some Democratic members, by their
record at this term of Congress, give rise
to doubt that they are capable Of think
ing for themselves. They would do the
country good turn if they would let the
President DO their thinking for them.

TheLouisiana Prohibitionists propose to
give the citizens of this State the privilege
Of voting as to whether they wish prohibit
ton or not. This is the issue-the right to
vote upon this subject. Shall it be per-
mitted Of the people of this great State to
express their will at the polls upon this
question? The friends of the liquor traffic
say, you shall not have the liberty to do so.
You must bow before our commercial in
terests and our political pull" 1t matters
not how much havoc is being wrought in
homes. 1t matters not how injurious this
business may be to public and private
morals. 1t matters not how destructive it
is to the State. Because there is money in
it for the breweries and distilIeres and the
saloons and political power for the big and
little bosses, the vicious traffic must stay.
Who will measure money against manhood?
Who for the purpose of initiating his private
pocket book will place his country under
curse? Who will make revenue from sin?
Are the citizens Of the State to be throttled
and stifled and trampled upon and always
han1cuffed by this monopoly of shame?
We hope the temperance people of Louisi
ana will take nothing but prohibition for
the State Of Louisiana-and we don't wish
the usual New Orleans exemption, either
and if they can't get that now keep at it
until they can.

The Bread and Butter Questio|

The teaching profession is a not
charitable one, but are you content
work in the charity department of yd
state when they allow you no pensl
or protection in old age? Are you W
ling to go into the great, broad fields
business where you can lay up som
thing for a rainy day and provide yo
own protection for old age? Six tho
sand teachers quit the profession
Texas annually. Can you blame tn
when you compare their annual earn
capacity with that of any other class
educated men or women? The bod
keeper, stenographer, private secreta1
or operator, as a beginner, gets from
to S75 per month, twelve months in t
year, and soon receives an advance
salary and it is not long, if they a
made of the right kind of stuff, befo
they are promoted to assistant manage
or manager or large business concer
or engage in business for themselvd
and are thereby enabled to lay up
comfortable living for old age. Make {
comparison of the teacher, who after
graduating from the high school spend:
from one to two years in the State Nor
NAL and hundreds of dollars preparing
himself, and has been teaching five
years in the public schools, with the
bookkeeper, stenographer, or operator
who has only spent from three to 81,
months in obtaining his education aftel
graduating from high school and from
one hundred to two hundred dollars ane
has had five years experience in tht
business world, and you will find tina
the one who has spent only few months
in obtaining his education and small
amount of money is drawing twice thu
salary Of the teacher, regardless of ths
fact that the teacher spent more time
and money in the preparation for hi
life work.
More evidence on this subject can b.
had by writing the Tyler Commercial
College, at Tyler, Texas, for their large
illustrated catalogue, giving full partic
ulars Of Americas largest commercial
training school, with more than TIVE
thousand enrollments annually, ant
reading what teachers say who have at
tended this institution of the advantages
it offers to those entering the business
world, where they can greatly increase
their earning capacity, enabling them tt
own homes OF their own and enjoy tn.
comforts that should rightly be theirs.

standing the joy that can come from the act
of anticipating. In youth we do not think
much about these things and are inclined
to take everything for granted, but when
experience begins to teach US the inner
meanings Of life and to turn our thoughts
into more serious channels we cling to
those qualities of mind and heart which
bring US the most joy, and anticipation IS
not the least of these.
1t is difficult to imagine an absolutely
hopeless condition in life. Of course we
all know that there are times when there
does not seem to be anything in the imme-
diate future, when the dark present is too
close and too overwhelming to let in even
ray of light, but what of the morrow when
the darkness becomes somewhat dispelled
and we are able to lift up our heads with at
least some degree of understanding? Then
is the time that the thrill of anticipation
galvanizes US into life once more and makes
US realize that after all there is still some
thing ahead of US to hope for and work and
struggle for with all our strength. 1t is
this realization that steadies US, as it were,
and helps US to find pleasure as vel! as
profit in the mere fact of anticipating what
is to come. For some of US, of course, an
ticipation is not the joy that it is for others,
because our natures are not all alike, and
as a rule it is the joyous, expectant, easily
enthused person who really appreciates the
blessings which anticipation can bring.

New York, March 6.-United States
District Judge Dayton, Of West Virginia,
sitting here, refused to-day to send Mrs.
William Hale, of Boston, to jail for smug-
Cling, on the ground that he shared the
Southern opinion that sending a woman to
Jail was 'horrble.' Mrs. Hale was the
head of a Boston millinery firm and is
prominent in suffragist circles in that city.
She pleaded guilty to defrauding the gov
eminent Of about $500 in customs dues on
hats, dolls and feathers brought with her
from Paris as personal baggage. 1.-The
association Of woman with Jail is abhorrent
to me- said Judge Dayton in sentencing
Mrs. Hale to pay fine of S50.-Nurs Item.
We honor Judge Dayton for his gallantry.
His high regard for womanhood is ckarac-
terlstlc of the true Southern man. But it
is we'll for suffragetts to remember that
while ''equal rights required that Mrs.
Hale should be imprisoned, gallantry pre-
vented it. And yet there are thousands of
wi!d-ey6d Northern women of the Mrs,
Hale and Mrs. (S)-Catt class who are
clamoring for their rights" and demand
ing that sentiment and chivalry 60 hang.

seem vital to their opponents defense, and
nave obtained no advantage of a decisive
