WHY NOT ORGANIZE?

The newspapers in this State
who really believe in reform of the
| ballot the adjustment of the pen
itentiary lease, the adjustment of
the futures and options evil and
other reforms, should meet at some
convenient point and organize for
a united movement to this end.
Concert of action is always q
powerful factor and force in a
cause, and if all the papers which
have expressed themselves as IA
voring these measures would get
together and adopt plan of act
ion for the guidance of all, these
reforms will certainly be the re-
ward of their efforts, as soon as the
competent forces can act.
And let the organization be eff
fected on the broad plane of honest
and manly citizenship. Let it
rise above the facilitating influ-
ence of party, and enter the do
main of patriotism and love for
our State and the moral tone of
her commonwealth. Therefore let
every paper in the State, publish
ed by a Caucasin, and whe desires
these reforms, send a representa-
tive to a meeting as here suggest
ed, and let us begin the fight right
now.
Let us hear from the State press
on the subject. If you favor the
idea, name your choice Of place of
effect.

LADIES MEMORIAL EDITION.

The Ladies Memorial Edition of
the Evening News, Monroe, reach
ed our Office Monday morning. It
is a tirst-rate affair, and is neat
and tidy in every part. And it
contains splendid reading matter
too. And just peruse this edito-
rial announcement:
OUR POLITICS.
OF course our constituency want
to know "where we are at" on the
currency question, We will state
right here that we advocate the
free and unlimited coinage, and
and distribution, of both gold and
silver at Is to 1. Sixteen million
dollars to every good-looking wo-
man.
How is that for artful lodging?
My! my, what a politician the wri-
ter of that would make! Why
the 81 am studying the question:
of the dextrous dissembler who
sits in the gubernatorial chair of
our State: and the sit belongs ex-
clnsively to the domain of Nation
al politics." of the defunct politi-
ton who once figured quite con-
spicuously in North Louisiana,
are weak in comparison.
And, by the way, we see by the
pictures in this edition that Nom
roe has pretty girls sure enough.

Are you not fully convince d

have been stuffed more than once
in Caddo parish?
Third.-Did you make Colfax

name, for its gross violation of the
"Rules of common honesty an d
decency!"
Fourth.-Are you not thor
ougly convinced that, with but
few exceptions, the ballot-boxe
were wantonly stuffed in every
parish in the State, in order to re-
turn enough votes to seat Mr.. Fos-
ter?
Fifth.-Believing this, did you
denounce the act as fragrant vio-
lation of the ''Rules of common
honesty and decency?"
Sixth.-Don't you believe that
Captain John N. Pharr was fairly
and honestly elected governor of
Louisiana?
Seventh.-Don't you believe
that a majority of the white men
of this State voted for Captain
Pharr for governor, as against the
man who now occupies the posi-
ton?
Eighth.-Do you believe that a
majority of the negroes voted for
Mr.. Foster?
Ninth.-Did Colfax Chronicle
advocate going behind the returns
OF the last State election, so there
could have been exposed to the
eyes of civilization the nau seating
violation Of the s'Rules of common

THE EDITORS TALK.

How many newspapers in the
State are tired of ballot box stuff
ing, and have resolved to indorse
the heinous offense no longer?
Speak out brethren! let all see
where you stand; and then The
Progress wants to publish your re-
plies.-Shreveport Progress.
Say, Bro. Hicks: you are
mighty late mending your evil
ways. Bless your innocent soul,
here in Grant parish we Put stop
to ballot-box stuffing ten or twelve
years ago, and yet we don't lay
claim to any great credit for OBJ
serving the rules of common hon.
esty and decency. Your slow pro-
cess in morality is astounding
Colfax Chronicle.
The Progress takes pleasure in
informing you, Brother Goodwyn!
that at the last Congessional-Na-
tional election, Caddo wheeled
into line for fair elections, and did
make true and honest returns of
the same. But, good brother!
the holding fair elections in ones
own parish is only a part of an
honest man and newspapers duty;
what influence do they, or either
of them assert to bring about the
same healthy condition of public
affairs in other parishes, that they
demand for their own? He who
does not condemn crime, connives
at it, in proportion to his position,
standing and influence.
And now Brother Goodwyn! as
you were just little stringent on
me, will ask you few pointed
questions with the hope that you
will answer plainly and brotherly.
We are both Methodists, be-
lieve, and and may be both are
stewards: l have heard
that you are good Christian.
And now for the q uestions:
First.-Are you a Christian?
Second.-Do you believe a mans
religion should control his politics;
Or rici rersa: or do you think the
two should be disconnected en-
tirely?

According to Professor Max Weber, of Amsterdam,
the only animals which surpass man in the absolute
weight of their brains are elephants and whales, but
there are several that rank ahead of him in the ratio
of the brain weight to the total weight of the body.
All of these, however. are comparatively small ami
mails. Among them are many monkeys and certain
members of the squirrel and mouse families. No ami
NAL of greater bodily size than man has a brain which
is relatively as large as his. Upon the whole, it seems
that mans mental superiority is due rather to the
quality and organization than to the size of his brain.
The shortest street in New York, and probably in
country, or possibly in the world, is located on the
block bounded by Broadway on the west, Elm
street on the east, Leonard street on the south, and
Franklin street on the north. 1t is called Benson
street, and is just one-third of a city block in length.
1t is probable that not one hundred citizens of New
York have heard of its existence. Ask the policeman
who stands on the corner of Leonard street and
Broadway where Benson street is located and he will
probably give it up.-NeW York Journal.

Dispute Over Boundary Line Raises a
Novel Question.
A special dispatch to the Balti.
more Sun from Atlanta, Ca, saws:
A dispute of national interest has
just been started between Georgia
and Tennessee over the ownership
of the city of Chattanooga.
The present boundary line places
the city in Tennessee, but several
expert geographers have recently
found information which goes to
show that the boundary line is not
properly located. The facts seem
to justify the claim that not only
the city OF Chattanooga, but the
entire mountain district surround
ing 1t, is in Georgia. The bound
airy line between the states is the
thirty-fifth parallel of north lati.
tude. and this was located by a
survey in 1918 one mile south of
the Tennessee river.
Georgia will make claim to Chat.
tanooga, and the issue will proba-
bly, be contested between the two
states in the courts. 1t will be
claimed that correct survey will
place the thirty-tifth parallel north
OF Lookout mountain, and that
more than 100 O0O cit,yans If Ton,
nessee will have to become citizens
Of Georgia.
! Governor Atkinson proposes to
appoint boundary commissioners,
and the issue thus raised is likely
to be one of the most novel in the
history of the country. Messages
from Chattanooga state that ma
jority of the citizens are willing to
renounce their allegiance to Ten
nessee.

this demonstration was courageous

men were offered the most power

the rights of their husbands, the
ballot-they would refuse it in all
