ONCE OVERS

Don't encourage your children to tell what they heard at the home
of your friend O neghbor.
1t gets to be a bad habit. 1t starts them on the road of the
gossip"
Naturally, when you quiz them, they have a desire to tell some
thing III of the misunderstanding that will interest you.
When they find that the ordinary things won't do this they are
quite likely to concoct stories which will cause you to listen.
This is a most damaging lesson in the Use OF lies.
Lying becomes easier than telling the truth.
The habit is formed and, with age, becomes second nature.
The mind of a child is very sensitive and it requires little to make
n impression, deep and lasting.
The sort Of impressions to be made in childhood ar those OF right,
purity, helpfuness and honesty, and to mind their own business and
OF know o much about their neighbors.

stance a statement made Tuesday
morning by Judge Thomas F. Maher,

the Second City Court, in Algiers.
Judge Maher said that he would
not enter the race to keep peace
within the ranks of the party; that
he has failed in the endorsement for
reelection and therefore realized
that fight for the office would be
fruitless. NJ. S. Mahoney, who has
made the race for the office before,
qualified Monday with James c. Hen

he is without opposition, although il

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE,
Algiers. La, July 10. 1916.

Algiers. La, July 10, 1916.
! Editor Algiers Herald:
Eight hours a day for railroad men.
! Engine and train service employees
on all railroads in this nation are ask
ing for an eight-hour day. The rail
road managers are circulating through
the press that to grant these demands
would cost one hundred million dollars
annually. This information is only put
cut to fool the general public. Our
people are not attempting to fool the
public, but We are requesting the pub
! lie to take some interest in this gigan-
tic move. in order that they may be-
come acquainted with the facts in the
case.
Some of the public imagine that rail
road men are paid large salaries. but
when you realize the number of hours
men work for these large checks II
! throws new light upon the question of
high wages.
In the great railway yards the
switchmen whose tired feet strike the
engine "firebOard" or the cinders all
day, or night, or the man in the cab, 9"
who pulls and throws the levers back
and forth all day or night working
countless and conflicting signals and
endless danger and in every condition
of weather-these are the true sol
diers of industry These men should
not need to ask for better conditions
Better conditions have been given
them years ago.
President Wilson has said that the
workers have a right to say under
what conditions they will work. The
railway employees merely ask that
the public approve their effort for a
reasonable condition.
The sO-called average wages" of
railroad employees quoted frequently
by the carriers to show how highly
paid is this class of labor, are so I'M
reliable that the Interstate Commerce
Commission itself has served warning
that they are not to be trusted. Yet it
is on the basis of these figures that
the carriers are spreading the impress
sion that railroad wages are high.
Engineers in freight service are CON
sidered by some people as highly paid.
but strange to say they rank below
| fourteen other trades in wages. If
readers are in doubt of the honesty
and truthfulness of these statements
look up the records on labor for your
selves.
Hoping the public will become in
terested and attend some of our pub
lie meeting. which we intend to hold
in the near future throughout the city.
