complained of by Maj. DeClouet.
In our remarks we did not un-
dertake to deal with the why's
and wherefores of the factiOnal
differences not yet healed in the
Democratic ranks in Lafayette
parish, but we made a simple
statement of their existence, and
pointed to the net results of the
mass meeting itself, merely to
show the public that the meeting
recorded the will of a faction and
was not the expression of a
united Democracy.
Our statements were not mis-
leading then, and the public in
telligence is too much quickened
to submit to an unceremoniOus
sweeping aside of them by any
general denial on the part of
Maj. DeClouet.
Most certainly we do not claim
infallibility for our views and
but such as they are,
we believe they usually carry a
reasonable conviction of their
purpose to serve the ends of JUS
tice and truth.

The National Peril.
Democrat,

The National Peril.
Times Democrat.
The strike in the meat trade
serves the useful purpose OF
making the national peril clear to
all eyes. There is indeed NO
time for abstract discussion
when eighty millions of people
see their food-supply menaced
by a dispute between cOalesced
capital and organized labor. The
average man is bound to ask
himself why he has to 20
hungry. or pay exobitant prices,
though all the statistics tell of
comparative plenty. The an.
thracite coal strike revealed a
similar condition of things, as to
the reserves of fuel. The great
cities of the North and East
shivered until the president of
the United States interviewed,
without legal. warrant, coercing
the captains of labor into a COM
promise which was q makeshift
at best.
The essential facts of the case
are terribly distinct. First of
all it must be remembered that
the masses of the American
people have no voice in the con-
troversy. A few men fix the
price of food, in accordance with
the dictates of a selfishness
which is to the last degree unin-
telllgent. Another coterie essay
to fix the price of labor by meth
DDS which will not bear the test
of right reason. AS a rule, these
rival autocrats agree to fleece
the public by initiating the cost
of the commodities they handle.
Some times however, this simple
arrangement falls through.
Then the consumer has not even
the poor consolation of paying
and looking as pleasant as he
can. The wheels of commerce
stand still. while the battle is
fought to a finish.
Paper constitutions and high.
sounding bills of rights do not
count for much in such circum-
stances as these. Professors of
political economy will tell you
that the problem must be solved
by the memorable processes of
evolution, but doctrinaires of
this school have unhappily never
known what it means to. be
hungry. Very different is the
discussion which occurs around
iresides which feel the pinch Of
an artificial dearth. There the
grim realities stand forth in high
relief. The annals of grand
politics are made up of just such
clashes between the ambitions of
the few and the wants of the
many.
Careful observers have long
known that something was amiss
in the scheme of our national life.
With each passing year, over
grown capitalists have frightened
their grasp ON the secret springs

criticising the comments of Thu
Advertiser on the mass meeting
held in the courthouse July %
This is what we said on the sub
ject:
SATURDAYS MASS MEETING.
There was a good attendance at the
mass meeting held in the court house
last Saturday, and the gathering was
a representative one, though it was
entirely factional, and for that reason
the action of the meeting al not be
said to fairly reflect the popular will.
1t will hardly be denied that the
factional spirit in politics in Lafa-
yette parish is still alive, IS much as
this circumstance may be lamented by
the less militant ones among vi pub
Tic men: and neither side can success
fully lay claim to a monopoly of the
good people. because both factions
have a strong following. This fact
cannot be eliminated from our deduc-
lions and conclusions in weighing the
work of the mass meeting, a fact at
tested by the work itself. And The
Advertises would not feel called upon,
as a non-partisan newspaper, to offer
an explanation of this kind, but for
the misleading claim that the action
of the a meeting stands for a
united Democracy" instead of a
tactful move for factional political ad-
vantage.
With this point made clear, The Ad-
vertiser willingly acknowledges the
worth as q whole, of the selections
made by the mass meeting, as appears
from the official proceedings pub
lished in another column.
Major DeC]ouet contends that
the above editorial expression is
replete with misleading state
ments and is plainly the ex-
preston of badly concealed
political disappointment. Let
us see what are the true facts of
the case.
The validity of the charge of
political disappointment and
spleen is precluded by the firmly
established independence of The
Advertiser in the field of politics.
Being free from political al.
liances or aspirations that might
be expected to compromise our
honest views and opinions on
public questions in the hope of
reaping personal reward, we
can well afford to maintain our
selves in the position we assumed
from the beginning of an indie
pendent, non-partisan, Demo
cratic journal, a position to
which the editorial columns of
The Advertiser bear convincing
proof.
As to the other charge that
our editorial discussion of the
mass meeting is "replete with
misleading statements" we have

FAIRMONT, Mimi, Dec. 6.-For
writing two letters to local banker,
demanding that $4,000 be left in a
designated spot and threatening to
slay the banker unless the demands
were complied with, Harry Gilbert, 20
years of age, is confined in jail
awaiting the action of the grand jury.
A. l.. Ward was the recipient of the
sensational communication, and today
was the date set for his murder by the
author of the unsigned demands. One
letter came some time ago. Surprising
that it was written by some insane
man. Mr.. Ward paid little attention
to it. but when another and more in
sistent note followed, the banker in
formed the authorities.
An investigation followed and the
detectives arrested Gilbert. The young
man at first denied the authorship of
the letters, but finally broke down and
admitted that he wrote them and made
threats upon the life of Mr.. Ward.
