But Of little work.
Who be you?
Women Of short hair,

And suppressed desires.

You loose tongued shouters,
You dribblers of half thoughts.

You floatsam and jetsam Of the

Who be you?
Cowardly treason mongers,
Fratricides of Russia,
1rinners at your crumbling nation.
Hurting down the vast pyramid of
the centuries
You grope in the obscure sands of
a far distant past
And find your prototypes.
Who are your prototypes?
The Simian founders of the race,
The builders Of the tower Of Babel,
Huns and Vandals, sloughed off in

Because Of you, is war;
Because of you, is famine and dis

Because of you, the world must be

The largest city in these Uni
ted States is Los Angeles, CAL,
which has a total area of 1912
square miles. New York is Sec
ond with 314,72 square miles,
Chicago third with 1872 square
miles. Yet their was a time
when each of these cities had
less square miles to build on and
build to than Morgan City. There
is a moral to this. The moral
lies in the fact that the men who
started these towns, were town
builders, not sluggards. Enter
prising, alert to natural re-
sources. They were confirmed
believers in the greater era OF
prosperity of the town. They
built and others admired. Sue
cess crowned their efforts. They
had no more capital to do things
with at the beginning than we
pull at the time when we were
known as Brashear City. We ex-

Thirty" has been sounded to
the former American ambassa-
dor Walter H. Page. Walter H.
Page was a friend to the South.
His books were Of interest to
[ Southern states. His death will
he mourned among newspaper
men. His publishing house,
Doubleday, Page and Company
have published more good things
of the South than any other
company. He was given the
credit of effecting the agree
ment between Germany and
England wherein the United
States fed the starving Belgians.
All of the past good should be
remembered; if there is small
good, then the leaest worst. One
poet has held the failings and
defects on value, as things on
which to climb, and a greater
poet did not hesitate to seize the
sentiment and expand the
theme. Those who remember
birthdays are affectionate by
nature. Others are strong on
weddings, recalling all when ev-
en- the chief participants have
nearly forgotten. And those
who never speak of their dead
are either very deep or very
shallow,-usually the latter. No
past need comfound. The hurt
full leaven Of much Christian
teaching is the emphasis placed
on the deeds that have gone be-
fore. The gist Of the parable of
the Prodigal Son lies in the rev.
elation Of the love Of the faith |
er. To him the far country and
the swine's husks were lost in
forgetfulness, while music and
dancing awaited only the donn-
ing of the robe and shoes by one
not to be received as ser want.
In the spirit the fervent Paul
pressed forward, forgetting
that which is behind" Yet it
was the reproach of the rapt
seer of the Apocalypse to the
church of Ephesus that it had
forgotten it's first love.
