engthen his leu wrzice
An editorial. reproduced from Re
Jennings Herald, which appears in
another column Of this paper, shows
that Mr. Pujo's length Of service
has been devoted chiefly to making
promises and not carrying them ont.
It does not require length Of ser
vice" to ft one to make promises.
What we want in Congress, what
we want il every department Of our
Government, is ability constructive
ness-men who will do things, men
who will be heard from, maaswho will
not be satisfied to lean back in the
chair Of length of service" and BE-
content.
Jim Bailey has the Yigor, the push
the daring, the ability, to make the
Seventh District a Congressman that
will be a Congressman-not a Con-
gresham who relies on length Of
service" to pull him through.

CLARION WOT HONE.

IN the course Of his eloquent ad.
dress at the Puio meeting last Mon.
day night Hon. John N. Ogden made
q statement that was indeed startling
Tor its inaccuracy.
After eulogizing the press general.
", telling of it's influence and its DO.
eney for good, he made the statement
that the press of the entire district,
with the exception Of the st. Landry
Clarion, supported MI. Pujo for Con-
gress.
Mr.. Ogden was certainly egregious-
ly m~isinformed.
We know of at least six paper in
the district supporting Mr.. Bailey,
two Of them in Mr. Puio's own par
ish. There + doubtless Others that
do not reach our exchange table.

The fact of the matter is that Mr..
PujO has but a few newspapers sup
porting him. Most Of those who are
not for Bailey, are neutral.
So The Clarion Is not alone in its
support of MIR. Bailey.

LNLOUIsIANA

Some days ago the Picayune COM
mented editorially on the growth Of
the butter-production industry in
Texas, and expressed the belief that
equal success would attend such ven
lures as the Inauguration Of cream
cries in Louisiana, says the Picayune.
That Louisiana has already made a
venture in that line the Picayune was
we'll aware, as a f~rst-class creamery
was started sometime ago ii Rose
land, in Tangapahoa Parish, This
pioneer venture in SO important a
field has proven, as we expected it
would, an unqualified success, al
though it has not yet been able to
send its products very far afeld. for
the very good reason that it's entire
output has been taken up at home in
supplying the neighboring towns Of
Kentwood, McComb City, Amite and.
Hammond, not to speak Of Roseland
itself.
" GAG S1S6t5Sb EVIDENCES OF
the success Of any enterprise is the
loyal patronage of it's immediate
vicinity hence the fact that all the
output of the Roseland creamery has
been taken up by its neighbors is
the best possible promise Of its fu-.
ture success. The Roseland cream
cry is situated in the section of
Louisisna the best adapted to such
an industry, and it is greatly to the
credit Of the enterprising people Of
that thriving community that they
have had the courage to attempt SO
important an innovation. Their ex-
ample should prove inspiring to
every section Of the state, as there
is ample room in Louisiana for the
inauguration Of many such cream
cries, particularly SIS there is a large
market in New Orleans, close at hand,
to absorb the production OF dozens of
creameries. The Picayune trusts
that the early success of the Rose
land creamery will be followed by a
long career of prosperity, such as a
Di33i seeear venture of the kind in an I'M
tried field IS eep2ttitled to.

aLENGTH or SER

According TO the doctrine of th
Pujo supporters, a man should b
kept in Office perpetually, because
foresooth, length Of service" betteI
fits him for efficient work.
Il their doctrine were followed
elections would be useless, and the
Constitution should be changed so al
to make the Office of Congressman
like the Office of Federal Judges, ex.
tend For life.
The Clarion does not believe that
long service should be urged against
a candidate. but it certainly does not
believe that it should be given as a
reason for his retention in Office.
No Office belongs to any one man,
and when one holding an office
comes up to you and sets up the plea
that he should be retained because
he has been there so long, and learn
cd so many things thereby, he is set
ting up a siekly plea.

loud in their claims that MI. Puio
will carry the territory included in

FALSE CLAIMS


at Jennings, Calcasieu parish, in thl
heart Of the rice industry.
That the Herald does not put en-
faith in the claim that Mr.. Puio is tn,
only mar in the Seventh Compression.
al District that can save the rice in
dustry, is shown by the following
article, and many more editorials OF
the same subject. The Herald fur.
Their asserts that Mr.. Pujo is not the
savior Of the rice industry, but that
the late venerable Senator McERery
is the mar who accomplished that
end.
Here is the Herald editorial:
In the race for Congress in this
district MI. Puj6 and bis friends are
pointing to the work done by that
gentleman and in their zeal they
evidently presume upon the ignorance
Of the people.

paign the people Of Crowley rallied
to the support Of Mr.. Puio because
he had secured for that town an APP

and as a result Acadia parish gave
him about twelve hundred majority,

ton he's been made for a public
building in the city, when as a mat
