What does the Democr attic party do
for Louisiana? The Chief has been
looking the field over and can find little
OF consolation. It gives US a state
government under which it is almost
impossible to locate sponsibility or
hold any one accountable; an organi-
cation which will require almost
revolution to get a change of policy
or of officers; a system under which
the people have as little as possible to
do or say about the administr alton OF
the state or any of its municipalities.
How does it work? Do We have
good government? Let the chorus OF
convicted defaulters or emigres
answer. Why is the National Guard
brought into disrepute and influences
other than military allowed to smother
specific charges of fraud and even
prevent an investig
Do Ne have good roads? We even
have to 60 to a Republican national
administration for somebody to tell
us what good road is.
Are our cities we'll administeredY
Who shall say yes when the finances
OF the largest city in the state are in
the clutches OF a 81 indicate of bankers
who can and do depress the price of its
securities SO that they have to be sold
at a 6 per cent discount when cities in
other states get premium on bonds
bearing like rate of interest.
Do we have good schools and plenty
of them? Why then do We have thou
sands of children and white children,
mind you-without provision or OPP
portunity for a single day in school
during the year?
Are our women and children taken
care OF? Why do we have factory
laws so inadequate that the factory
in pector is forced to continually pro-
tsst. and protests without avail?
Are our working people taken care
of? Why then do We find all tbs ma.
chinery Of the state and city govern
ments, with the aid Of the metropolitan
press, brought to bear to force re
duction OF wages upon the laborers on
the levee at New Orleans?
Are our country people taken care

Does Charley Comiskey bring the

The reason is that when Comis-
key strikes the Pacific with his
big squad, he divides his men into
two camps, sends them to differ
emit points and begins playing ex-
hibition games. The net result is
about $4,000 profit for che
shrewd Chicagoan.
