Baton Rouge. July 19.-The
Louisiana Railroad Commission
has received from j. B. Roberts
the complaint of the people of New
Verda, on the line of the Louisi.
ana Railway and Navigation Com
pany, in regard to the placing of a
night agent at that place.
The commission has received q
letter from E. E. Lucas, president
of the Louisiana Travellers Asso-
citation, indorsing the move made
by the commission IN proposing
that freight trains shall carry pas
sengers in this State. The presi-
dent of this association urges that
trains be caused to carry a passen-
ger coach divided, SO as to accom-
modate both races and check bag
gage offered for these freight trains
carrying passengers under the pro-
visions of the. proposed rule. The
association also indorses the sale
of through coupon tickets at all
agency stations on roads in this
State.
The railroads have filed a pro-
test against this rule, saying that
while passengers may be carried
in few places to the advantage
of the public and no injustice to
the road, those places should be
designated by the commission on
direct appeal. They say that no
such unjust blanket order should
be issued, including systems which
already have an ample passenger
service.

ollect smaller items of federal ex-
penditure he has secured for pub
lie buildings and waterway i'm
provements in this district, the de-
tailed list being too long to repeat
here, but the value of his work
may be measured by the fact that
during his service he has secured
the authorized expenditure of over
one million dollars of public mon
ey in his district-more than all
the money spent in it during the
century proceeding his election.
M. Pujo's friends submit that
it would be bad policy for the vot-
ers to dispense with such an able
and successful representative in
congress merely through caprice
or to crafty the vanity or ambi-
ton of an inexperienced man.
He has now reached the point of
greatest usefulness to his district,
and they believe that the Seventh
district voters will keep him whore
he is.

Mrs. c. j. Willett, the mother OF
Mr.. Archie Willett. had painful and
serious accident on Friday morning
in which two Of her ribs were broken.
She had driven to the depot with
Mrs. 6. w. Blackburn, intending to
take the 1925 train for Kadesh, to
attend the Ebenezer camp meeting.
While standing near the railroad
track the team became frightened
and ran away, throwing both ladies
out. Mrs. Blackburn escaped with
very little injury, but Mrs. Willett
had two ribs broken as stated. Be-
ing a lady of about sixty years OF
age, she was greatly FRUSTRATED by
the shock, but at the hour of going
to press we learn she is getting along
very well and bids fair to recover.

Mr.. Pujo's Services in Congress.

dacy for representative in congress
of the Seventh Congressional Dis.
trict of Louisiana is announced in
this paper, is a native of Louisi-
ana, born and reared in Cacasieu
parish and therefore a lifelong res
| ident of the district which he now
represents and in which be is q
candidate for reelection. A re-
sumo of his fitness and qualifica-
tions for the Office are given as fol-
lows:
He is looked upon as one of the
most prominent members of the
legal profession in the State. He
was elected to represent the dis
trict in the Fifty-eighth congress,
in 1902, and was reelected to the
Fifty ninth, Sixtieth and Sixty
first congresses never without OPP
position, but always by substan-
tial majority.
Infuence'in congress always in
creases with length of service and
is measured by committee assign
ments. Mr.. Pujo is now the rank
ing minority member of the COM
mittee on banking and currency,
the fourth in Importance in the
House, and of the committee on
expenditures in the department Of
commerce and labor. If the Sixty
second congress is Democratic,
and Mr.. Pujo is reelected, he will
be chairman of those committees.
He is also one of the three Demo-
cratic members of the House of
Representatives on the National
Monetary Commission. All of
these positions increase a men,
ber's power and ability to benefit
his district.
Upon the various questions of
national Importance which have
come up during his service, Mr..
PHO has always shaped his course
and cast his vote in the way in
which the best interests of his
district aud the State would be
subserved. He was instrumental
in securing, in the face of strong
opposition, an amendment to the
Philippine tariff bill preventing
the importation of rice free of duty,
which, if permitted, would have
destroyed the rice industry of the
United States. He voted and
worked for tariff duties upon lum-
Der, rice and sugar, the great pro-
ducts of Louisiana. He voted for
increasing the power of
the Interstate Commerce Commits |
sion over freight rates, and for
other bills regulating railroads
has voted for numerous measurers |

The election of Miss Meredith In
Colorado is interesting in its way.
There have been women elected to
the county court in Denver county be
fore, but this is the first important
office TO which 4 woman has yet been
elected. She was neither Demo-
crat nor was she Republican. She
ran on an independent ticket. She
was opposed by seven men, and her
majority was greater than the com
bined vote Of all seven. She will be-
one Of the three election commission
ers n future
1t Is possibly case similar to the
one which resulted in the election OF
Mayor Seidel ON a Socialist ticket in
Milwaukee. Grown weary OF the rot
tennes Of both Republican and Demo.
cratic machines, the people of Nil
waukee threw off the domination o.
both and asked for a new admins
tration entirely.
In Colorado the political atmos-
phere has been far from healthy. In
one election the state troops were
called out. In Denver Judge Ben
caused a sensation by his|
muck raking and his exposure OF the
methods of state, county and
city officials, in his magazine articles
recently published.
1t is possible that Democrats, Re.
1ublicans and Populists alike were
ired, and believed that they would
lave a fairer chance in future with
woman as an election commissioner
