And MAY BE as Good for Aswell.

The hyphenated opposition TO
Governor Sanders, candidate for the
United States Senate, have been per-
sistentIy challenging" him for joint
debates. Finally, the Governor re-
piled that he had no time to draw
audiences for them, and suggested
that they debate matters between
taemselves.-Ve News.
And this answer may be as fitting
a reply to Aswell who persists in
challenging Hall to joint debates.
Why should Judge Hall draw audi
enees for Aswell? AS a sensible man
Judge Hall would not detract from
Aswell's oratofieal glorifcation. Let
AswelI have a full swing in his
grandstand plays to the galleries.
This, as a comfort, is about all he
will derive from his desperate eff
forts i'll grasping at the gubernato-
rial chair. Aswell is a splendid
gentleman and educator, but he was
not born to be the executive of the
State Of Louisiana.

Homemade c;trca.

Take hard melons and throw them
into strong salt and water for week
to harden them. Then soak them in
fresh water for a week. changing the
water every day. Cut them In halves,
scrape out all the seeds and soft part
next to the seeds. boil the melon In
alum water until green and somewhat
tender. Remove and lay in fresh wa
ter all night. Before putting them into
the alum water trim of the peel If nee
essary. To every pound of rind allow
half a pound of white sugar, make a
strip and cook the rinds until they can
be pierced with a straw. Take from
the strip and spread on large dishes
and set in the sun to dry. Boil the sir
up down very thick and remove to a
Jar. Every day pour some OF this over
the citron as 1t dries and turn each
piece at least once daily. Keep the
dishes covered with wire covers or
thin cloth. When all the strip has
been dried into the citron pack it In
jars and cover closely. When making
the strip add to 1t thinly sliced lemon
rind to iavor 1t.

sistant attorney general for three
years, and since then he has made
a remarkable record, showing whas
kind of service he could render in
case he is elected. He made the race
four years ago, and at the close OF
that race, though he was defeated
by small majority, it was general
ly conceded that OIL this time, with
GoNeral Guion out of the race, Mr..
Pleasant would make most for
midable candidate. He is a Norta
Louisiana man, having been born
and reared in Union parish. He is o
graduate of l.. s. u. and ranks high
in legal circles throughout the State.
This is a promotion that he deserves
and we believe this parish will helR
do it. He is aligned with no faction
that we know of, for he has friends
among the supporters of all three
candidates for governor who do mo-
draw the line on him."
And in Caddo parish, including
Shreveport, he will have practically
no opposition. And North Louisiana
will give him majority sufficient
to secure his nomination and hts
election, regardless of all opposition.

John T. Michel, Regular Democrat.

Hon. John 7. Michel, regular DEM
ocratic candidate for governor, will
soon visit Vermilion. He will can
sass the parish, and satisfactorily
answer the charges that have been
made against him by the spell-bind-
ers and Observation-Disclosures
News.
|. From whom and on whose au-
shorty is Michel's regularity de-
rived? Is it from the fifteen ward
bosses of whom he is the leader and
by whom he was declared to be the
regular Democratic candidate for
governor? From recent revelations
it would seem that Michel's regular
ity is questionable and is tainted
with irregularity. In their boasting,
some of the Michel press are SEEM
ingly afflicted with Michel's irregu-
larity. If Michel is the regular DEM
ocratic candidate for governor,
which implies that Aswell and Hall
are not Democrats, then Michel
should be politically embalmed and
preserved for future generations as
one of the greatest curiosities living
in the twentieth century.

FOR The CHILDREN
A Christmas Leuend.

There is pretty Christmas story
that the French people tell their chill
dren. II is about the Christ Child.
Dne Christmas night he was so hun
cry that he went from door to door to
ask for something to eat. but every
one was SO busy looking at the
Christmas gifts that no one heard the
soft little knock. After awhile, when
he was very faint with hunger, he
came to a home where the people were
poor and hadn't many gifts. But they
loved the little, Christ Child and did
not forget that it was his birthday.
When they sat down to their supper
the mother said, I'VE will leave part
Of our loaf of bread for the little Christ
Child" Just then there was 81 soft
knock Mt the door. and when they
opened it they found a dear little boy
who was. oh, SO tired and hungry. and
they brought him in, cuddled him close
to the fire and gave him the piece of
bread they had saved for the Christ
Child. After that the little boy and
the children played Christmas games
together and had such happy time.
No one in the home knew the little
boy was really the Christ Child, But
somehow he seemed to make the whole
place beautiful and all their hearts
glad.

HUMOROUS QUIPs
The Shemale of the Species.

THE female of the species Is more dead
~ than the male.-Rudyard kipling-l
When the modiste of the city meets the
shopper in her pride
He hangs gowns In all his windows with
the doodads all outside,
For lie knows she'll stop and grab 'em as
the harpoon nabs the whale.
For the shema,e shopperino Is more grasp
ing than the male.
When old Snug. the ancient voter hears
the bruser at the poll
He will try to take sidestep for the saw
ing Of his soul.
But his mate climbs in the linelight, with
a suffraglstic wall.
For the shemaie suffra gette Is much more
manly than the male
When the early pilgrim fathers ate their
Puritanic beans
In those days of savage peril mid those
grim and rugged scenes
Hemale cooks were sequestered in the
poorhouse and the JAIL
For the shemale chef de cuisine cooked
beans better than the male.
when the tenor and soprano have an OPP
cratic fuss
IT'S not hard to hold the tenor-he's a
namby- PANTY cuss-
But the lady-hoW she goes 1t! How the
managers all quail!
For the singing shemaie persons far more
vocal than the male.
When lover takes his lassie to supper
on Broadway
And secures q quiet table at some ultra
swell cafe
She rejoices: he is weary. and his pocket
book grows stale.
For the shemale of the species In far hum
grier than the male.
So 1t goes through all the species-doesn't
matter what you do
You will find the little shemale Is the bet
ter of the two,
And no matter what her foibles or her
quality of mind.
You will find her in the forefront, with
some male not far behind!

Earlx christmas celahrstions.

The first celebrations of Christmas
were curiously like those given in hon
or Of the heather gods In England
there appeared many OF the same forms
as those used by the Romans In their
feast Of Saturn. The mistletoe. used
so much for decoration, was once re-
garded as sacred by the ancient Dru-
ids. The Scandinavians ages ago kim
died their yule log (which they called
the Iuui In honor OF their god Thor.
Indeed, all the fayorite greens now In
use for purposes of decoration-the
box. fir. holly. mistletoe-were once en-
ployed by cur heather forefathers In
the same way.

ALDRGCH CURRENCY MON
CTR0SITY.

1t was at the convention OF the
American Bankers Association held
in New Orleans recently that the
Aldrich monetary reform plan was
submitted and was approved with
only one disSenter.
The one man who disapproved OF
this Aldrich scheme is VIM. r. Ham
by of Austin, who is the president Of
the State Bankers Association of
Texas.
His objection to the Aldrich plan
is thus stated:
Il think the United States is big
enough to assert its financial su-
premacy and instead Of copying al
ter European systems, to maintain
one of its own. We have $i9,000,0OO,-
coo of banking power and will soon
have a banking power equal to that
,of the rest of the world. | do not
believe the Aldrich central reserve
association is necessary to bring our
financial Institutions into closer
union.
THE Aldrich plan makes it posi-
J. BILE to concentrate the entire bank
Ii ing power of the country under one
corporation management, assumes a
partial control and robs the local
banks of their individuality and in
dependence, and would be as dan
gerous as government ownership OF
all public utilities. The burden OF
nearly all that is said for the AL
drich plan is that we should discuss
| 1t along non-partisan lines, yet the
organization proposed is political
and could not be kept out of poll
tics.
with it's laterals and branches
reaching every section of the coun-
try under one corporation manage
ment once entrenched behind its
financial Notifications and its vested
rights for fifty years, the Aldrich
bank would be the dominant factor
in every political campaign"
Since then the people are AWAKEN
ing to an understanding of what
would be the effect of this scheme
of Aldrich if it were in force. This
scheme is being denounced in Wig
orous words, except by some of the
bankers whose vision and intellect
is being influenced by the allure
ments of the Money Trust"
AS declared by Mr. Handy Of Aus
TN, Texas, the Aldrich bank scheme
would be the dominant factor in
every political campaign" and IN
time there would be only two classes
of people in the United States, the
wealthy and the poor, or as in Mex
leo, the rich and the poems.
In a sense it is surprising that on
lily one dissenter to this scheme was
heard, but this apparent unanimity
in favor Of a Money Trust" will in
tensify the opposition, for the reas-
on that as declared by Congressman
Lindberch of Minnesota, "the AL
drich currency plan is the gfaetesi
monstrosity ever placed before The
Ipeople."
