Democratic farmers of Louisiana
have combined with the Anti Dem
ocrsts not in the union to defeat
the lottery amendment. This re-
minds us of the remark of great
American general during the Mexi-
can war. A dudish adjutant just
from college asked him by what
authority he spelled Wagon" with
two g's, when the dictionaries only
used one. "By authority of my
position as commander of the
United States armies, sir" said the
gruff old soldier. We take it that
the Democrats of Louisiana view
the pert inquiry of the Times
Democrat in very similar light.

ton is being made by them to give any
one the means of earning and saving an
