Democratic Opportunity.

Mr.. Bryan has announced through the
columns of his paper, The Commoner,
that the principal of democratic
defeat this year was that the men who
secured control of the party o%rganiza-
ton at st. Louis sounded IL retreat
when a charge should have been or
dered all along the line. He insists thai
conditions demand radical action, and
that the people want something definite
upOn which they a rely. The Com
moner, he announces, will carry on a
campaign of education, advocating
tariff reform, the overthrow of private
mOnopolies. labor legislation, municipal
ownership of public utilities, public
ownership of railroads and telegraph
systems, an income tax, the election OF
federal judges by the people, the cleo
ton of United States senators 10y pnpu-
lar vote, direct legislation, and the Sc
lection of pOstmasters by the people
whom they are to serve.
1t will be necessary to regain control
of the party organization. To d" this
the friends of reform throughout the
entire country must work together. A
democratic paper of national scope Of
fers the best means for carrying on this
work, and The Commoner occupies this
field. Inc campaign OF education ana
organization which Mr.. Bryan an
nounces will be carried or through The
Comm0ner will not only be- interesting
and instructive, but every democrat and
independent thinker should receive The
Commoner regularly. so as to keep in
touch with the progress the reform
forces are making, and to fortify him
self with facts and arguments to con
vince his republican neighbor that the
democratic party offers the surest relief
from class legislation and trust domin-
alton. Q
The low rate which Mr.. Bryan has
quoted Us oil his paper enables us to
send you The Commoner and Opelousas
COURIER both one year for 1926. Get
your neighbors to join You in circulat-
ing democratic literature, and the elec-
ton returns in 1908 will. not call 70,
apologies or explanations.

An Interesting Law Point.

A very important law point to dis
trict attorneys, sheriffs, and tho people
of this State, has been brought up IN
AvoyelIes parish. 1t is that of whether
those officers have q right under the
law to take as commissions IS per cent
of the money collected from forfeited
bonds. 1t is claimed here by some
lawyers who have examined the law
that the constitution of 1898 does not
provide for any commissions to be de-
Quoted by officers for collecting for
feited bonds. If'this il so there is like
ly to be suits brought against district
attorneys and sheriffs, now in Office, as
we'll as persons formerly holding those
positions, to make them refund the
amounts they have received from this
source. III the Supreme Court decides
that these officers are not entitled to a
commission for collecting forfeited
bonds. there is gting to be a stir in
Louisiana. Some officers may have to
pay into the parish treasures thousands
of dollars they have collected through
bonds forfeited. We believe this fund
goes to the school boards.

Some seasonable advice.

1t may be a piece of superfluous advice
to urge people at this season of the year
to lay ia a supply of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. It is almost sure to be
needed before winter is over, and much
more prompt and satisfactory results
are obtained when taken as soon as q
cold is contracted and before 1t has be-
come settled in the system, which can
only be done by keeping the remedy at
hand. This remedy is so widely known
and so altogether good that no one
should hesitate about buying it in pre-
ference to any other. 1t is for sale by
all druggists and dealers in patent
medicine.

The manufacture OF cotton goods is
an industry on which the South is fast
gaining as complete and certain a mon
OpOiy as that which it holds in cotton
growing. During the year ending on
August 81, Southern mills worked up
more raw cotton than Northern mills,
the figures just issued by the census
bureau showing 2,140,161 bales for the
former aud 2,138,6a0 bales for the latter.
That the industry is profitable is at
tested by the steady increase in spindles

A Judicious INQUIRY.

A we'll known travelling man who
visits the drug trade says he has often
heard of druggists inquire of customers
who asked for a cough medicine,
whether it was wanted for a child or
for an adult, and ii for q child they al
most invariably recommended Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy. The reason
for this is that they know there is no
danger from it and that it always cures.
There is not the least danger in giving
it, and for coughs. colds and Group it is
unsurpassed. For sale by all druggists
and patent medicine dealers.
