LOXJISLANA FORESTRY AT ST. LOUIS. 



The Southern Cypress Company has 

 agreed to furnish a full cypress exhibit for 

 Louisiana at the world's fair, and will pres- 

 ent the principal features of tlie cypress 

 industrj- from the tree to the various fin- 

 ished products. This will also be done in 

 the case of pines and hardwoods by other 

 companies, each trying to eclipse the other 

 in the perfection and interest of its exhibit. 

 The Louisiana Spanish moss will be shown 

 as it grows and as it finally appears in 

 horse collars, mattresses, saddlery work 

 and upholstery; in another space will be 

 given an exposition of the turpentine in- 

 dustry, and in another the making of paper 

 from straw, rice, wood pulp and cane.

 employes who feel dissatisfied and quit, 

 and when a workingman listens to counsel 

 that tells him anything else, he is breeding 

 trouble. There has been a disposition to 

 deal leniently with employes in matters 

 of this kind, but this leniency has led to 

 such bold- encroachment on the liberties of 

 the business men that there has developed 

 a general feeling that it is time to call a 

 halt, and time to point out to the work- 

 ingman that even he is not immune from 

 punishment when he violates the law that 

 gives to every citizen of the country lib- 

 erty and property rights, and protects him 

 therein. There is no lexical objection to 

 association among employes for mutual 

 benefit, for such is in strict accordance 

 with the spirit of the times, but the ob- 

 jection comes from that radical and unjust 

 spirit and counsel that has been allowed 

 to rule in such associations. The right 

 spirit of progress docs not include in its 

 regime tyranny and dictation; the slogan 

 of labor unions has notably been a cry for
