OUR STATE CANDIDATES

The men selected by the DEM
ocratic party for Offices this year
so far as we have knowledge, are
Democrats, with or without Of
fee. This is all important dis
tinction right here. Some men
are powerful good Democrats
when it is a question of pay and
grub. The pone of bread is a
potential, ali persuadilg factor
with some. But the Democrats
have put honorable and worthy
men in the field. We have heard
of but one or two complaints.
The Judicial ticket is all right
we believe. The gentlemen Sc
lected are supposed to be capable,
to be learned in the law. to be
men of character, above reproach
or suspicion, and true Democrats.
1t is of very great Importance to
keep the Judiciary pure, above
censure, incorruptible. A pur-
chasable or a drunken Judiciary
is a curse to any people or State.
North Carolina knows what this
means. 1t has an experience. In
the Republican days there were
drunkards on the Supreme and
Superior court bench. 1t is
known that there were men who
had their price also, at least IN
the lower court.
The people will do a very bad
thing for themselves if they turn
out competent, learned and hon
est men to put in their places
men of small capacity, little
learning and of iron-bound,
blind, incorrigible partisanship.
The people have nominated
men to represent them i'll tue
Legislature. They should know
their neighbors and whether
they are trustworthy or no, and
if they are true Democrats. We
suppose they are selecting men
they believe to be honest and
faithful. If not then they are
blind and censurable. We take
it that only Democrats of the
Fright stripe indigo-blue kind,
are this year put OIL guard. 1t is
a critical and perilous time, and
not one should be chosen who is
not of good character, intelligent
and a Democrat from principle
The members nominated for
the United States House of Rep
resentatives are mostly new men.
They may not be any ADLER or
safer than the men they displace,
but we take it that every man
nominated for the Federal House
is Sinon-pure Democrat. Then
the next thing to do is to elect
the candidates. Vote for all:
Do not drop one. Go the whole
ticket. Quit you like men.

Give them big majorities and be

GRAND JURY REPORT.

The Grand Jurors of the parish of st. Landry
beg leave to make the following special report
on the public Jail of the parish Of St. Landry,
to-wit, that is to say:
alton of the wards of the Jail building, as also
of the steel cage in the rear room of said build
ing, and find that the wards and steel cage are
kept in as clearly a condition as it is possible
to be expected.
We find, however, that the steel cage in the
rear lower room OF the Jail is of a size entirely
large number of prisoners that at the present,
and other times, are kept confined in said cage.
The pres ent number confined therein is t twenty
five, and we are of the opinion that it ia dam
gerous to the health of the prisoners to keen
such a number confined in such a small space.
and that the tendency of SO doing is to breed
discomfort as well as disease among the nris-
oners so confined.
1t Is earnestly suggested that the early atten-
ton of the Police Jury be called to the Insult
clent size or the cage room, and that as soon as
practicable they provide a larger and more
commodlous cage for the safe custody of the
prisoners.
The Grand Jury further specially report that
a careful examination of the walls in the other
departments of the Jail shows that the same
are not secure; in many places we have found
where bricks have been removed or loosened
stances it is practicable and easy for prisoners
to effect their escape from Jail by loosening or
removing these bricks.
We suggest that the attention of the Police
Jury may be likewise called to this matter. that
the walls may be put in a proper state OF secu-
rity.
We find the prisoners incarcerated in the iail
to have been well treated. The prisoners have
all been examined by the members of the Grand
Jury, and from conversations with them the
Jury have reached the conclusion that the pris-
oners are not only well treated by the jailor in
charge, but besides they are allowed such lib
erty ana exercise In the yard outside the Jail as
is consistent with good discipline.
From conversations with the prisoners, the
Grand Jury have ELECTED the fact that each
prisoner is allowed fifteen cents per diem for
daily food, the prisoners themselves being al
lowed to procure such food as they desire, and
are further allowed the use of the stove in the
conversations with the prisoners they make no
complaint of insufficiency of food.
Respectfully submitted.

The fact that the A. P. A. in New
York compelled the Republican State
Convention to take down the name of
a candidate for a place on its ticket, for
no other reason than that be happened
to be a Catholic, is hurting the party in
that State as the Democrats are making
the most of the incident. 1t is claimed
that liberal minded Republicans are
Disguised with the alliance that exists
between the A. p. A. and their party
and when the election is held in NOvem-
Der q very large number Of them will
vote the Democratic ticket for the rea-
son that the Democratic State Conven-
tion denounced the A. p. in vigorous
language. There are also a great many
Republicans in New York who are
Catholics and as their party,s conven-
ton although urged to do SO declined
to rebuke the a. P. A., but on the con-
trary submitted to the dictation of that
order, it is safe to say that they will
either stay away from the polls or sup
port the Democratic party which years
ago crushed Know Nothingism in this
country. The managers Of the Demo-
cratic party have good reason to be
pleased with the outlook in New York,
for the reason that the votes which the
Mngwumps will cast against Senator
Hill will be more than Offset by the Re-
publican Liberals and Catholics who
will vote for Hmm. O. States.

Cooperative Cotton Mills.

Four cotton mills, having an aggre-
gate capital of 1928, 900 have been sue
cessfully conducted at Charlotte, n. c.,
on the cooperative system. The funds
were raised by small weekly INSTALL
ments, and the prosperity of the VEN
lures shows what may be done in any
community in aid OF manufacturing
industries in the cotton belt without the
assistance of men OF large capital.
The hint is worth considering also in
other lines of manufactures where the
location is favorable. In Charlotte the
capital stock was divided into shares of
500 each. 1t was payable at the rate
of 81, fifty cents or twenty-five cents a
week, according to the ability of the
stakeholder. At twenty-five cents the
par value was reached in about eight
years. 1t is the application of the
building association principle to manu-
featuring plants. Some of the mills
were built on the dollar a week plan
and others at the lower weekly rates,
but the business fourished under each
plan. The idea is that of Mr.. D.. A.
Tompkins, of Charlotte, and it has been
introduced in several Southern towns.
He discovered that in some Of these
places the building associations had
funds much greater in amount than it
was thought could be raised for a man
ufacturing enterprise, and that all that
was necessary to start such an enter
prise was the combination and organ
ization of small individual resources

Society is to blame for at least one
third of the drink habit. Until very
lately no society woman had the bravery
to omit wine from the menu when CIV
ing a dinner party. Numbers of young
men of the best families and circum-
stances have been led into shame and
degradation by taking the first glass OF
wine at the elegant table Of ~ of So
cietg's leaders. Many a young woman
is in the eyes of God, guilty Of having
maize dIunkards of young men. Dc
you open your eyes, fair girlq Do you
grow Indignantly 1t is nevertheless
true. Have you at your home never Of
fered to any man a glass OF wineq Have
you at public gatherings taken a dainty
goblet full with any? Have you at we'd
dings. receptions and the like, drunken
T" healths Win wine? If you have done
| one or all of these things, count your
self guilty for God counts you so.
| The girl who drinks wine herself and
| offers it to her friends among the gen
tlemen is either wofully ignorant OF
criminally careless.
Another way in which society has leo
numbers astray is spoken OF in the fol.
lowing paragraph, from the Nationa
Temperance Advocate, entitled, "Clut
Drinking":
One Of the perils for young men, es,
pecially at the present time, is clut
| drinking. Many young men who wOule
| be ashamed to be seen drinking in the
ordinary saloon are tempted to this in,
| diligence in the more select and aesthetic
environment of the club. An old New
York club man is quoted as saying:
"The bar-room makes drunkards.

club was to make men sober, but as ]

Friends Of temperance, while labor

loon, should also exert all POSSIBLE
moral power for the restraint and abo
lition of club drinking.

mi so delightful is the general verdict rem
dered in Opelonsas upon our soda water. The
verdict stands, too, and won't be reversed this
season. It's as certain as a desire for some
thing to drink in a temperature of SO degrees
in the shade, that there's no beverage SO re-
freshing, pleasant and healthful as our cold
soda. It moistens the parched throat, slakes
the thirst, and cools without injuring the
t0mach. You can't summer 1t pleasantly any
