The Valiant Era Club.

The Louisiana Democrat attributes
the defeat OF amendment No. 5 to the
political bosses of New Orleans. who
passed the word down the line that
the Era Club was taking too much in
terest In city affairs. The Era Club
has always been an advocate of bet
ter government and has opposed a
number of plans of the bosses. The
st. Francisville True Democrat or,
calls 1t 'Pernicious Era Club Activity:
as though everything that meets with
the disapproval OF the bosses is per-
nicious. IL the recognition of woman
in public affairs must come through

liticai ring it's indefinite postponement

THE LASDLESS MAN.

In all our conventions, societies.
Legislatures. and preachments OF every
kind we are singularly prone to lean
to the absolutely hopeless effort to
remedy all of our social evils by be-
ginning AT the top.
We do not educate children In our
schools by that method. nor do we so
train men in business. nor have we
ever seen trees or plants grow in that
way.
Whatever the top may be 1t Is but
the fruit or flower produced by the
strength fed from the roots. This is
the natural law.
We sit still and allow abuses to take
root; In process of time. and in accord
ance with the natural law Of growth.
these abuses or bad customs bring
Then we begin to destroy these
noxious fruits. giving no thought to
the absolute certainty that from the
unkilled roots will come another crop.
From the earth we came. to the
earth we will return.
All history proves that the nation
Is most happy and contented whose
people are most securely anchored to
the land.
Consider this fact In 1910 of our
total population, 49,348,S83 lived on
tilS idAu VI ldTHlS rs ulIGTCnllaIed
from urban communities. and Of these
forty-nine millions and odd people Just
3.354.897 were classed as owners, l. e.
they owned the land outright, or had
color OF title by reason of an equity.
Ono In Fifteen q Land Owner.
In the decade from 1900 to 1910 the
increase In owners was As, and the
increase in enters was 1853. Renters
increased about three and one-half
times as rapidly as owners.
Conditions were no better in the
cities.
The very abundance and cheapness
of land. by promoting thrftlessness
is leading up to disaster. If we really
want to get anywhere we must take
the land as the fulcrum for our social
level and prize the people on to the
land.
1t must be done as an act of pa
triotism. and not OF profit. and IL we
insist on applying to it our commercial
creed, and that alone. We will fall.
IL we fail to grasp this tremendous
fact now, and fail to act now. some
of our children now living will see the
downfall OF the American republic.
We cannot maintain true Republican
government by nation Of rent paw
ers-there Is not enough fibre in such
to meet the insistent demands of that
high quality of citizenship essential to
the perpetuation of a real republic

Rule for cutting a screw in an engine

Is only necessary to practice operating
the shipper and slide screw handle Of
your lathe before cutting. After hay
ing done this, until you get the M
lions. you may ,set the point Of the tool
las high as the center, and II yon keep
the tool sharp you will bind no difficulty
lin cutting screws. You must. however,
cut very light chips, mere scrapings in
finishing. and must take 1T out Of the
lathe, often and look at II from both
sides, very carefully to see that the
threads do not lean like tish scales.

some emery and oil. Avn $'e

screws: Always getfthe depth required
with a tool somewhat thinner than
onerhalf the pitch Of the thread. After
doing this make another tool exactly
the pitch Of the thread and use it to
finish with. cutting q 1siisht chip, on
each side Of the groove. After doing
this polish With a pine stick and some
emery. Square threads for, strength
should be cut one half the depth of
their pitch. while q square thread for
wear should be cut threefourths the

Rule for mongrel or half " hall
square threads: These are usually
made for great wear and should be
cut the depth OF their pitch; and for

one, and q half the depth Of the pitch.
The point and the bottom Of the
grooves should be within e-quarter
the depth OF their pitch sWhatis meant
