1t is announced from Utah that
the State will probably go Re
publican this fall, as the Nor
mans believe it will be to their
interest to align themselves with
the Republican party. II this is
the case, no doubt the next Nor
mon congressman can go to
Washington and take his wives
along with him without fear Of
rebuff. There is nothing senti-
mental about Republican policy,
and they would be likely to line
up for their own man no matter

To Who 1t May Concern.

Subscriptions amounting to
several hundred dollars are due
this office. The amounts are
small and the debters are scat
tered throughout the parish. If
we have to call on each individ-
ual to make collections we will be
forced to travel q much larger
number of miles than we care to.
The business men of this and
neighboring towns have told us
that they made good collections
this winter. What good reason
is there for us not being able to
say as much Is it because we
have been more lenient than
they Or is it because our bills
are SO small in individual cases
that they are overlooked by the
subscribers in their annual settle
ments +? The business conditions
of the country are such that we
are in a measure forced to trust
to the honesty of our subscri-
bers and in many instance our
confidence in human nature has
been soreIy tried. Those of our
subscribers living at a distance
from Opelousas and have not a
convenient way of sending us
money, can buy postoffice orders
and deduct the cost of the same
from the sum due us. This is a
fair proposition, and we have an
abiding hope that it will be taken
advantage of by those owing US.

The following sensible re-
marks are fsom the Franklin
Watchman +:
There is much bitterness in the
public press at this time of II Pc
litical nature-the Democrafcspa-
pers are pouring out theiryenun-
citation upon the Repq1GsaW and
Republican Fasionists SC tng same
time, while they are fighting back
as best they can, considering their
strength and numbers.
Of course, everybody recognizes
that the "weight of authority" is
on the side of the Democrats, as
they will certainly decide that the
majority is, also. In fact, we
cannot conceive of more absolute
certainty than not only the sue
cess, but the overwhelming sue
cess, of the Democracy at the
polls on April 18th.
We do not approve of this vii
lification in such broadcast terms,
as we believe the truth can be
put before the people just as
easily and fully without it-and
the truth at last is what counts.
But mud-siinging has become a
custom in Louisiana pelitics of
many years standing, and as the
general impression seems to be
that little bitterness and fire
must go along to attract the at
tention Of those who are accus-
toned to it, it appears to have
become a necessary part OF cam
naign argument.
