RALLY ROUND THE FLAG.

The spirited Democratic cam
paign will brighten and strength
en- the party in Louisiana. In
addition to the state candidates,
Congressman are coming home
to speak. The Nestor of politi-
clans, Senator McEnery is not
too old to make speeches or that
fiery Felemachus, George Favrot
too young. The defeated candi-
dates, except Bailey who still
sulkS in his tent, will speak.
The public spirited Lawrason is
down for speeches and so on.
There is a need for all this.
While the party is in no real
danger, the unusual activity OF
the Republicans make it desir.
able that they should not get the
slightest foOthold.
The Democratic colors must
not wave. Rally round the flag
boys.

THE EXECUTIVE COMMIT
TEES CALM

The President of the Demo
cratic Executive Committee made
a call, last week, in these col
umns to all good Democrats IN
this parish to support the noml-
nees from top to bottom of the
ticket. An equally stalWart Dem
ocrat, today, under the pen name
of Alba" makes a similar call,
giving his PERSONS therefor, IN
the dread name Of Republican
dominion.
None of US has gone so far be-
yond those days of old, the sa-
turnalia of the ancient Republl-
can regime in Louisiana, to be
forgetful of it's meaning or IN
mindful of it's dire effects and
power. To say Republican
makes one forget the manly
honest face of young Pharr, anc
see behind it, as if his we're bu'
a mask, a power stronger thar
he or any one man, the party O
the Fourteenth and Fifteenth
Amendments. 1t is a word t.

so, we most heartily concur il
any sentiment of prudence tina
urges Democrats to stand tC
gether as on man against the er
croachment of Southern Reput
licanism. But in view of tn
widespread dissatisfaction, PAL

ton very carefully. They mus

or, the gentle persuasive inf

This is what is ranking, and
our opinion, will work mo:

We may be mistaken abo
this. The majority at the POI

Does 1t Pay?

The Cunningham 10 Chippewa indie
pendent: The question often arises in
the minds of men who are the doors Of
things, does it pay? There is a sort
of satisfaction that always follow the
one who does his duty no matter what
that duty may be, and there is a
pleasing remembrance that finds its
own in the minds of the one who never
evades sharing the load in all things
municipal as we'll as social thrift.
Then there appears at every turn in
the way one great question that must
be decided over and over again, can l
do this and be honest. Honesty is
one of the strong builders in every
thing that goes to make up our indus
trial worth 1t is the bone and sineW
of all greatness whether industrial,
social or scholastic. Honest purpose,
honest act, honest deed and honest
words not only lay adamantine foun-
dations, they build structures that
cannot be toppled, as we'll
Yes it pays to be an honest work
man. Choose your vocation and then
give it the best you have. No matter
if your work be in the street, or at
the tellers desk. At times great
structures fall on account of strong
men, men who have been a supposed
power among their fellows, fall be-
cause of the dishonest materials they
have used in their life appear to pay
for a season yet in the end it always
brings destruction, dishonor and
shame.
The conviction of Morse we'll Illus
trates this, and fifteen years in prison
will give him time to reflect.

Ideal NeNYSnaner Fiction.

Stories of newspaper scoops on mat
tiers of current news are many, but it
is seldom that a newspaper can claim
beat upon a popular novel. Such
triumph in the discovery of a popular
novel was recorded recently by The
Chicago Record Herald when it print
ed serially 1.-THE Wings of the Morn
ing" by Louis Tracy. The Judgment
of the paper has since been verified by
the unprecedented sale the book has
had both in the United States and in
England. The Record Herald's keen
Judgment in fiction enables its readers
to get the best novels often before they
reach the book stands, while its poll
ey OF giving just the right amount
daily and Sunday makes it pleasure
to follow its serials.
A radical departure in Sunday jour
naIism was marked by the advent of
the Sunday Magazine of The Record
Herald. 1t is particularly strong in
ticdon, both serials and short stories,
and it has all the other attractive feat
ureS of the famous illustrated weeklies
and monthlies and challenges compar-
isOn with them.

Alcohol and AutOing.

Milwaukee Journal: Denatured al
cOhOl has not made much Roadway as
a motive power, but the goOd-natured
alcohol, the ill-natured alchOl, plain
old John BarleycOrn, seems to be
driving a good many of the automo-
bilists OF the land.
A locomotive engineer who takes a
drink is discharged. That is right.
A drink makes him undecided, slow to
recognize danger, uncertain as to his
right and left hands, when error or
hesitation means a holocaust. But
an autoist stays late at the club and
leaves for home in fifty-hOrsepower
prOjectile, doing close harmony with
the four friends with whom he has
been playing bridge, and letting John
BarleycOrn run the car.
He is a more dangerous inebriate
than the locomotive engineer, for he
has no train dispatcher to keep him
right, no rails to guide his wheels, no
conductor to give him orders. He is
flying death, a menace to every per-
son on the road as we'll as to himself
and his friends.
The mortality from motoring acct
dents would be cut down immeasur-
ably if alcohol could be kept from
relationship with motive power.
Many a man who seems sober is too
drunk to be trusted with a machine
capable of sixty miles an hour on
country roads.
What's the matter with a rule deny
ing a motorists license of drinking
men? Why demand sobriety of loco
motive engineers who stay on the
rails and waive it for motorists who
scour and sweep and ravage the
roads travelled by everybody?
Wouldn't it be better if the motorists
themselves to exclude the booze-fight-
erS2

the increased vote for Democratic
principles in many of the states leads
me to hope that the money mad mag
mates will yield to treatment rather
than die the death which inevitably
overtakes all those who grow AFRO
CANT.
1.-THE business interests will surely
see that our party is not the enemy Of
vested rights We strike only at vest
ed wrongs. l hope they may bepeace-
ably wiped out, for fear if they are
not they will be forcibly. These evils
would have been cheerfully eliminated
under Bryan.
1.-THE fight has been worth the max
ing. There are now no discordant ell
ements in our party. Factions have
been blended in the white heat of per-
secution and spirit of mutual trust
restored, which augurs well for the
arising of constitutional democr acy
out of the ashes of aefeat."

GOOD LEADERS HIP.

The New York World is one Of the
few great newspapers of the country
which supported Bryan for the presi-
dency. The World did not favor Mr..
Bryan's nomination, but after he was
nominated and a sound Democratic
national platform adopted, the paper
gave him unqualified support. The
World is not now wasting words in
finding fault with Mr.. Bryan and
others who aided him in conducting
the campaign, but points out the fact
that the leadership Of the Democratic
party is passing into other hands.
The World says:
There is no more hopeful sign for
the Democratic party than the charac-
ter of the new leaders who are coming
TO the front.
Thomas Marshall, Of Indiana;
Judson Harmon, of Ohio, and John
A. Johnson, of Minnesota, were not
elected to the Governorship OF the
States by accident. They are men OF
proved character and capacity.
Marshall stands in the front rank
OF his profession in Indiana. Har-
mon is not only a great lawyer but
was one of the most efficient Cabinet
officers of the second Cleveland Ad-
ministratiOn. Johnson, three times
chosen Governor of a Republican
State, stands approved on his record
as a man of achievement.
There will be three new Democratic
United States Senators Of equal abill-
ty, force and character-tw Of them
succeeding Republicans. Gov. Cham
berlain of Oregon, who was elected
for Senator in the primaries, IS
probably the ablest man in his State.
Charles J. Hughes leads the Denver
bar. He will succeed Henry M. Tel
Ter, who went over to the Democratic
party on the silver question, but has
never been d Democrat in spirit or an
aggressive Democratic leader. John
w. Kern, the Democratic candidate
for Vice-President, will probably
succeed Senator Hemenway, as In
diana has elected a Democratic Legis-
lature. He is lawyer of recognized
position and wide knowledge of public
affairs.
'Au three of these men will be
strong and useful in terrifying the
Democratic Opposition in the United
States Senate, and will contribute
greatly to the rehabilitation of the
Democratic party throughout the
onnptru

WILL IT BE CANNON?

Advices from Washington indicates
that strenuous efforts are to be put
forth to elect Joseph Q. Cannon
speaker of the next house of represen-
tatives. The conservative Republican
newspapers, like the Chicago Record
Herald, warn the reactionaries not to
be blind to the plain lesson of the
recent election and to aid in the de-
feat of Cannon. The lesson is that
voters will demand popular rule, and
the Record Herald rightly says that
stubborn resistance to progressive
measures, fauatical adherence to
strangling tactics and suppression of
all opportunity for discussion and
reasonably free action will inevitably
cause an explosion of popular impa-
thence and sweep the Republican
party out of power at the next con-
gressional election"
