for one term. " The New#'thinks that a repnb-
liean oongress from this district could, in one
term, secure all the appropriations necessary
for waterway improvements, public buildings,
jetty extensions, additions to public buildings,
government bureaus and departments, fortifi-
cations, coast defenses and federal courts, and
then next election we could send a democrat to
congress again. Stump’s logic is not good. If
we were to send a republican to congress who
could secure all those things in one short term
of two years, the people of the district would
he nothing less than base ingrates not to re-
turn him for another term. But then, it’s no
list? to worry over that. The second district
will continue to lie solidly democratic.
A GOOD SUGGESTION.
Mr. Robert Morgan, Sr., made a suggestion

a splendid one and we fwss it along to the
No greater work of improvement has been
parried out in Orange for many years than that
of improving the court house square, filling
in the marsh and reclaiming that part of the

artesian well, and placing nice concrete
about the building.
Ibis work has been done under the adminis-
tration of Hon. J. T. Adams as county Judge,
suggestion is that the park be named

I£ you are an unbeliever in the doctrine of
total depravity', you need only to read the press
dispatches detailing a disgraceful incident in
New Mexico, the other day, to be converted.
A wealthy banker, sixty years of age, is a fugi-
tive from justice on a charge of criminally as-
saulting two little blind girls. The banker is
a trustee of an institute for the blind at Alamo
Gordo, and he took the two little girls to Al-
buquerque to the National Irrigation Congress
to show what was lieing accomplished to the
institution. At Albuquerque the aged repro

innocence and they became victims of his lust.
The law does not provide sufficient punishment
for such criminals as this.

>nse, the reclaiming of this beautify block of
ground and its designation as a site fo# a pub-
lic park, has been done under the direction of
Judge J. T. Adams, who has given the matter
his personal attention, and it would be meet
and proper that the park be designated “Adams
Park” to his honor.
The Leader trusts that the Ladies Civic Club,
to whom has been assigned the care of the pa^Jt,
will, at their first meeting, take action on this
matter and decide to so designate this splendid
pnblic pleasure spot.

Conceding that the Star story is true, it can
be safely stated that the black ape att&ded a
negro church, and not a white one, as the black
apes of Kansas City do.—Lake t’harles 1 ress.
Guess that ought to hold you for a ^ bile,
brother.—Orange Leader.
The three writers are guilty of the same
thing. They are ignorant of the conditions or
are trying to b* funny without any regard tor
the facts.—Jennings (1-ft.) Herald.
Noiv, John Marshall, see what you “went

funny without regard to facts.” Say. did the
Herald man come from Kansas?
PROCRASTINATION A
' MISERY
MOTHER OF
The Spaniards have the reputation of being
dilatory, putting off everything until tomorrow
which in their language is called manana.
Have they a monopoly of this disease? Are
we not jiuined to sis- a great deal of it in our
relatives and friends, who no doubt see it in
ourselves?
Manana is a had habit, and too many of us
have it, causing endless misery, misfortune and
unhappiness to those thus afflicted. Men ami
women, too, who are not procrastinators in the
large things of life, give in to the small things;
each time a duty or task, is put on the long fin-
er, as the old Puritans would express it, the
harder is fastened the had habit.
We could give a hundred examples, some of
which would hit niucty-five per cent of onr
readers, but a few will do.
Mr. Man is doing well in business and plans
to place a large insurance on his life that will
protect bis wife and babies. While lie is wait-
ing and thinking over it, a jmnic eornes and in
scratching for the money to keep out of bank-
ruptcy, he is not able to pay the first premium
- When he gets able to do it he may not be ac-
cepted by the insurance companies, or a sudden
illness takes him off, leaving another victim
of “tomorrow,” a widow' without money, gen
erally unfitted to work, facing the problem tt
provide food and clothing for herself and little*
on.-.
He is feeling out of sorts; knows that he i>
“all in” physically, but, he puts off the needed

This type usually winds up as a patient in
sandtarinm for nervous wrecks, suffering from
a popular disease which might be called “ma-
nana nervous prostration,” and occasionally lie
Let*# don’t forget that important matter of
organizing a Merchants’ Association. The
leader wants to see the business men of Orange
organize and take an active part in the devel
ojmient of town and county. The merchants
are the ones to do this—and while they are do-
ing this they can to> doing a splendid work for
themselves in the way of securing equitable
freight rates, favorable legislation, protection
from bad accounts, etc. An association of this
kind is,absolutely indispensable.
The Lender today goes to a number of peo-
ple who have not been regular aubaorihers to
the paper. We direct the especial attention ot
these to the announcement regarding new sub-
scriptions. We want to make the Leader a
<lai.lv visitor to every home in Orange. It goes
to a majority of them now and ought to go to
the balance.

the highest market price for rice.
The smooth fox terriers bred at the Sabine
Kennels in Orange swept everything before

lish bench show*.

your patience will permit, tty to re-

points in our Journey to the Old
World, the land of my nativity.
We went aboard of this magnifi-
cent steamer at 10 o'elock Wednes-
day, August 5th. and right here. t>er-
mit me to say that it took some cour-
age, for behind us we should soon
leave friends and relatives to see them
again, we were not certain when, and
were forcibly, reminded of this when
we looked Into the sad faces of oer
dear friends Brother Oxley and Miss
Constance. Well, we all shed tears,
but I must hasten on. After the us-
ual routine for travel on board of one
of these steamers ,we were shown to

was raised, and we slowly moved off,
