POLITICAL FAITH.

| Down in this corner Of the re
public Democracy has meant mucl
to him who struggled for home
aud those he loved In the strug
gle for white supremacy Demoera
cy has played saving part fol
the people Of this state. In the
past so years it has been the
champion of all those traditions
which have gone down in the his
tory of people who have strug'
gled for the principle of right and
the survival of the tittest.
Besides from these great cardinal
points of the political faith, demo
Gratis have been of many opinions
on the question of tariff. Some
have styled themselves az "Free
Trade Democrats" others have
been better pleased to be classed
with those who stood for "Taritf
for revenue only, az again.t
those who advocated a "tarltf for
protection, While other groups of
democrat, perhaps, embraced

Tax; or prohibition; or segrega.
ton of taxation These were not
cardinal points, and could be held
by those who were admitted to
the inner councils. Then there
were democrats for Office, and
democrats for revenue only. All
parties have suffered these some
time or other. Judas was not the
only mortal who allowed immedi.
ate revenue TO obscure his greater
interests.
But, according to the party
the faithful democrat
must ever bow to the will of the
great chief. None should fail to
bow to Gessler's hat. He could
repudlate part, pledge-a plat
form--but his subjects must bend
the knee.
In this 3rd District q majority

and practically deserted the peo

sources, brains and energies to re.

lot a parish in the 3rd District
which has not suffered great

where established industries were

HIGH HEELS NOT BENEFICIAL
Should Not Be Worn For Vanity's
Sake, Says Physician.

Should Not Be Worn For Vanity's
Sake, Says Physician.
Women should not wear high
heeled shoes "for Vanity's sake
or house slippers "for comforts
sake, according TO Mr. Archer
O'Reilly of the medical department
of Washington University. In a
lecture on "Orthopedic Defects and
Diseases" DR.. O'Reilly said:
High heels are not beneficial as
they tilt the feet and tend to flatten
them by shifting the weight of the
body to an improper portion of the
feet. In their. homes women often
put on loose slippers or shoes that do
not give adequate support to the
arches Of the feet, and this results in
many cases of "f1at foot"
