HOW LONG SHOULD THIS
CONTINUE.

Under the theory that might
makes right, and disapplicatlon
of the doctrine of the survival of
the fittest' the system Of m-r-
chandizing in America has been
completely rcvolutionized within
the past quarter century. The
metropolitan stores that have
sought to maintain the high stand
ards in the quality Of merchan-
disc, have been forced to compete
with ever-increasing unscrupu-
lous methods on the part of stores
that "catch the public by means
of bargain sales," and by an
occasional cut-rates on standard
articles intended to keep the
crowd moving along their isles.
by these methods unprincipled
dealers grab off sales and profits
that would not be possible were
there any laws in the way Of sup
ervising dishonest merchandising.
The country merchant is the
worst sufferer of all, and the ever
increasing amount Of trade that is
logically his, and which goes to
mail order houses and sensational
department stores in the city,
would stay at home if there was
some new legislation to effectually
regulate the price-cutters. The
trusts and public-service corpora
tiOns have all been before the bar
of public opinion. and Congress
and the state legislatures have
made rules for their government.
The present attempt OH the part
of Congress to permit the manu-
facturer of nationally advertised
merchandise to fix the resale
price, is in the logical line of
progress. and is intended to save
the condition of the manufac-
turer, protect the newspapers
and other periodicals with their
advertisers. and to relieve the
small merchant who has built up
his business in a narrow circle
among people who deal with him
because they know him to be hon.
est, against that class of mer-
chants and mail order men who
have been f1im-famming the pub
lie for many years.-By j. r.
Jones.

Young men, there is one thing
you cannot do. You cannot make
a success in life unless you work.
Older men than you have tried it
and failed. You cannot loaf
around the street corner, smoke,
tell stories and sponge on some
one else without making a failure
of life. You must learn trade
or get into some honest business.
If you don't you will become a
chronic loafer, and there is no
place in the world for loafers.
The ripe fruit is at the top Of the
tree and you must climb if you
get it or some smart man will
pluck it from you. Do something
no matter how small or how low
the wages, it will be a starter.
Help yourself and others will help
you. There is no royal road to
success: will. grit and endurance
are the qualities that lead to it.
Progress.

DEMONSTRATION WORK.
AMONG NEGROES.

A large number of Negroes
throughout the Parish is working
under demonstration methods.
James M. Burr, Negro Agent has
Just completed and sent in to the
State Department and to Wash
ington a list Of those following
the methods.
More than fifty Negro farmers
are enrolled and all are doing
good work.. It is hoped that
many more will join in the work
by The time the next report is
sent in. "Tnus far we have
striven to locate in every thickly
settled Neg.o community at least
one demonstration whose work
will serve as an object lesson to
those surrounding him. How
ever, we hope to have every Ne
gro in the Parish cooperating with
us soon,' said Burr.

600 churches in the country, and
if they could be reduced during
the year by $4,000 the country

PUBLIC ECONOMY,

! Although defeated. in my recent
attempt to assist this debt burd
ened community, yet my interest
IN public affairs is not any more
lessened.
l am a large taxpayer and, as
one, expect to voice my senti-
ments whenever question of
public economy arises. The next
matter that should be considered
is the appointment of Secretary
and Treasurer by the new Police
jury. The present Police Jury is
responsible for many serious mis-
takes that must be endured bv
the taxpayers; it is to be hoped
that the incoming jury will prove
themselves capable of handling
the situation in economical and
business-like manner.
Their first step will be .he ap-
pOintment of a Secretary and
Treasurer and | hope that this APP
pointment will be based purely
upon ability and economy and not
upon politics: ana as th.r. is h1t
little work attached to both OF
these Offices. the salary should
be in keeping with the services
required. Therefore, if the next
Police Jury desires to serve the
taxpayers as they should be
served, they will lay aside poll
ties and only then can they act
.judiciOusly.
The daily papers are already
commenting upon the movements
of the sheriffs Of the State in the
coming fight for continuation
of high fees. / dare say, with but
very little effort they will sue
ceed, for, as l stated many times
during my campaign, the talk of
a reduction in salaries, during the
campaign, was mere deception
on the part Of the candidates.
Mr.. Parker might have accomp-
lished it, for he was unhampered
bv pledges or promises to anyone.
The condition Of those who un
knowingly make their own burden
heavier. Voting to their own
detriment, simply to prove the
strength Of the other party, is.
deplorable. Never will
things flourish, until each indi-
vidual voter realize that he is re-
sponsible for whatever condition
exists.

ICE TEA BAD FOR KIDNEYS.

Many authorities agree that tea
is bad for the kidneys, but it is
a recognized fact that the Indians
brewed teas from roots and herbs,
which when drunk hot were very
beneficial. A tea Of this kind

for Tuesday afternoon and night.
However, Tuesday dawned clear
and cold and it was decided to

TO a considerable extent and pre-
parations halted on account of
the cold, but a few energetic
women and men kept busy with
the result that a magnificent dis
play of floats and decorations for
floaters were prepared. Jimmy

brush as he never did before on

harder than if his railroad track
had slipped off the ties; Mrs. B.

three consecutive days like Bel
gians and the result, the grand

as it gathered. Many who came
