moral courage is most essential in a
public official as either right sym.
pathies or trained mind.
"A president must have counsellors.
and to make wise use OF counsellors
he must be open to conviction. The
president is connected by his platform
to certain policies and 'be platform
is binding; he is also committed to
certain principles of government and
these he is in duty bound to apply I'm
all matters of government before him.
But there is a wide zone in which ne
must act upon his own judgment. and
here he ought to have the aid OF in.
telligent, conscientious and faithful
advisors.
The law provides this to GER
tain extent in giving him cabnet
and the vice president ought to BE-
made a member of the cabinet ex-
ofiicia. in order that the president
may have the benefit of his wisdom
and knowledge of affairs, and second,
that the vice president may be bette
prepared 10 take up the work of the
president in case of a vacancy in the
to be cordial relations between the
president and those who occupy posi-
tions of influence in the coordinate
branches of the government. for our
government is not one-man govern
ment, but government in which the
chosen representatives OF the people
labor together to give expression OF
the will of the voters.
But the presidency is a position in
the world and its occupation is fac
tor in all national affairs. If he is a
deyout believer in our theory of gov
ernment, recognizes the constitutions
distribution, trusts thoroughly In the
people and sympathiZes with them in
their aspirations and hopes. he has
an opportunity to do splendid work;
he occupies n vantage ground from
which he can exert wholesome In
fluence in favor of each forward
movement.
The responsibilities of the office
are so great that the object ought TO
be relieved of every personal ambi-
tion, save the ambition to prove
worthy of the confidence of his coun-
trymen; for this reason he ought to
enter the position without thought or
prospect of a second term.
while the burdens of such an office
are heavy and while the labors of
the office are exacting and exhaust
ing, the field of service is large, and
measuring it's greatness by service, a
president by consecrating himself to
the public veal can make himself Sc
cure in the affections of his fellow
citizens while he lives, and create for
himself a permanent place in the ma
tons history

ton.
All this is in line with the pro.
vision of the Louisiana Constitu.
ton which provides for local op.
ton elections in parishes or
wards to determine whether Ii.
quor shall be sold or not. Moth
ing has yet been attempted in the
line OF action of Georgia, Ala.
bama, Mississippi and Oklahoma
in prohibiting by Legislative act
or constitutional provision the
manufacture and sale of liquor
statutory prohibition as it is
called. There is little reason TO
doubt that a proposition to that
effect, to put prohibition into eff.
feet by State statute, will be at.
tempted at the coming session of
the Legislature.

PREVENTION BETTER THAN
CURE.

The old saying, an ounce of
prevention is worth a pound of
cure. is truer in nothing more
than in the case of disease. It
has been thoroughly and con-
clusively demonstrated by
scientific medical authorities that
numbers of diseases are caused
by minute organisms called
&erms, and that these germs
have to have some vehicle for
transmission to the human body.
Among these diseases are yell
low fever and malaria both of
which are carried by certain
kinds of mosquitoes. The old
idea that these two plaques cir
culated in the air has been ex-
plOded and it is a proven fact
that neither disease can be con.
tracted in any way except by a
mosquito bite.
The dread typhoid is another
germ disease and infection
comes from introducing the germs
into the stomach by eating con.
taminated food or drinking water
or milk containing the germs.
The most general mode of trans
mission is by means of flies.
which feeding where germs are,
carry them to food upon which
they alight and drop them.
Knowing these facts the steps
for preventing these diseases are
screening the houses and de-
stxoYing all flies aud mosquitoes
thai find their way inside the
eoreens and exercising great

fare well in large towns. The
campaign was vigorous and we'll
conducted, and unquestionably
had far-reaching results.
On election day. April 81, four
parishes, as we have noted, held
local option elections. In all of
them the campaigns were among
the liveliest ever conducted in
Louisiana. The brunt of battle
was in Acadia. where the pro-
hibitionists were successful and
where the usual conditions in
such elections we're reversed, for
the principal town, Crowley,
gave a prohibition majority and
thus determined the result.
In st. Landry the prohibition.
lists won nearly three to one.
Concordia and West Feliciana
continued, but by small and re.
duced majorities, in the wet"
column.
Thus in the last few months
parishes containing nearly two
hundred thousand population
have abandoned license and
adopted prohibition. An at
tempt made to swing Ouachita
into line in the dry column failed.
All the wards in that parish are
already dry except Monroe and
West Monroe, which are almost
tine only non-prohibition towns in
North Louisiana. The Prohibi
t~ionists, taking advantage of the
Caddo campaign, wanted the po-
lice jury to order a local option
election, but this request was re-
fused.
The situation to-day, therefore,
is as follows, in the matter of
prohibition: Acadia. prohibition
