Hall Meeting at RuStOn.

4 Hall meeting was held i'll RustOn
Thursday afternoon. Capt. J. NJ.
Smith Of Shreveport was one OF the
speakers He criticised Sanders and
his administration in strong words
and lauded Judge Hall in the highest
terms. In attendance was Congress-
man Pujo, who confined himself TO
bis record in Congress. He created
a good impression. Judge Hall was
the last speaker. He was introduced
as the next governor of Louisiana.
He explained why he had been de-
voting most of his time to cam
paigning in the southern part of the
State, criticised candidates who are
trying to divide the vote OF North
Louisiana in order to help the ma
chine, and spoke along other lines
with which the public is familiar.
Judge Hall, as well as Congressman
Pujo and Captain Smith, were liber-
ally applauded.

The Dress Evil worse than the
Liquor Curse.

New Orleans States: Lillian Rus

as an authority on good dress, is In
revolt against the fashion makers,
who by mere decree are able to
change the style of feminine APP
parel at short intervals, declares
that it rests with the women to re-
sist this form of dictation.
The fight for STYLE she says, is
causing more crimes and unhappl-
ness in this country than liquor
Nearly every woman in the land is
imbued with that one idea she
must have style. 1t is wreckine
homes. breaking hearts and making
a certain group of men rich. These
men are reaping great rewards from
the fooishness OF certain group OF
men in this country and Europe
whoe are making alleged styles sc
fast that il is impossible to keep UP
with them. Twenty years ago-yes
ten years ago-styles changed tive
or three times year. Now it is that
many times a month";
In view of the fact, however, that
in five or six states the women have
been given the ballot it ought to
teach them the purposes and meth
DDS of organization. 1t would be
good thing, we think, for them te
organize to free themselves from the
tyranny of the small group of Amer
lean and European dictators of fash
ion, of whom Miss Russell speaks
doubtless from thorough knowl-
edge of the subject.
Mere man, who has to pay for the
various styles, can be depended or
to aid, enthusiastically, the women
in perfecting a defensive organiza-
ton.

PURE FOOD LOGIC.
An Expert Says Women Are to Blame
For Some Authorizations.

Dr. ]. S. Abbott, food commissioner
for the state of Texas, says that the
chief cause for the adulteration of
foodstuffs is the. average woman's lie
mand for unnatural and impossible
properties in. the products of the food
factory
If she did not insist upon snowy

that the manufacturer adu!terateS his
product for the purpose of cheapennS
the cost of manufacture, but in many
Instances this is not tie case. He
does it to please the TASTE of The
thoughttesS and ignorant house wife.
''She wants Il grt.pny green pea. and

much to stop food aduteration by leav,

such products and getting some correct
notions about the manufacture of com

buted one cent in money, one mo-

er of these candidates done towards
taking from the city ring its fictl-
tious and fraudulent vote by which
it has been able in the past to DEFY
the people? Absolutely nothing. IL
DR.. Aswell is a reformer why hasn't
he and his friends attempted to do
something towards securing an cleo
ton where the will of the people
will prevail and not that of the city
bosses? Is he in good faith when he
declares he is in favor OF remedial
laws for the common masses? He
has not uttered one word against the
New Orleans and State machine; he
has not even praised the magnificent
work done by the Good Government
League in making a fair election
possible. He abuses Judge Hall and
the league and only incidentally
mentions the name of Mr.. Michel.
! He knows that the league stands for
reforms demanded by the great body
of the people. He knows that Judge
| Hall is brave and honest to the very
core and will carry out every pledge
| he may make during the campaign.
| 1t is therefore, difficult to believe
that DR.. Aswell is a good faith re-
former. He seems to be willing to
bury the Coed Government League
and all it stands for, if by so dong
he can be elected governor OF this
State. We do not believe the people
will be deceived into accepting nm

THE POLL TAX PAYMENT.

The payment fthe poll tax is one
of the imperative duties of good cit
izenship, but unfortunately it is
neglected too frequently by the in
dividuals who Should be the leaders
by their fuIfilment of this obllga-
ton
One of the Wisest provisions OF the
Constitution operative III this State
is the requirement that to vote at
any election held in Louisiana, ma
tional, state or local, the voter must
be qualified by having paid his poll
tax on or before the 3ist day of De-
cember of each year for the two
years preceding the election at
which he would vote.
To vote. citizen otherwise quail
fed must have paid two poll taxes
For instance, to vote at the Demo-
cratic primary election on January
%. 1912. the voter must have paid
his poll tax for 1910 on or before the
3ist of December of that year, and
ne must pay now or. before Deem
Der 81, 1911, the poll tax for 1911.
Citizens who have reached the age
of 60 years are exempt from the poll
tax but must be registered.
The payment of the poll tax as a
requisite to vote is not only cheek
on the system which encouraged and
sanctioned the greatest of frauds
but the money contributed is APP
piled to the funds for public educa-
ton.
II should be borne in mind that
the poll tax payment must follow
successfully two years preceding an
election. The citizen who has failed
to pay his poll tax in 1910 could moi
vote at the Democratic primary IN
January next, but by paving his poll
tax now or before December 81, 1911,
ne may become qualified to partlcl-
pate in the congressional and the
presidential election by paying his
poll tax in 1912 on or before Deem
Der 81 of that year.
The citizen who has paid his poll
tax in~i9i0 but who may fail or neg
lect to pay his poll tax on or before
December 81, 1911, will have dis
qualified himself for two years,
therefore the Importance of fulfill
ing this requirement of the law
should aDpeaI to every good citizen
who would be and become part OF
the government.
No good citizen should disfran-
chise himself through neglect OF
duty,
One reason why the bosses are
strong factors in politics is because
they never neglect this duty and see
TO it that their followers are always
qualified to vote at any election held
in the State.

From every country and from every

not only are the prices high, but
there is more to buy; things that

decade ago are the commonplace eX-

cost; and to meet the increased de-
mands on the purse there is a mad
der rush in the markets, fiercer

uncompromising battle in the pro-
LESSONS. The money madness is IN
every brain, the get rich fever is
throbbing in every pulse. Under this

]. RUSH WIMBERLY.

The withdrawal of Hon. ]. Rush
Wimberly of Bienville as candl-
date for the Democratic nomination
for lieutenant governor. is no sur
prise. 1t was anticipated from the
statement published few days
since in the Caucasian, when it was
suggested that the mutual friends"
of Mr.. Wimberly and of Mr. Barrett
were trying to arrange the with
drawal of one of these gentlemen
from the contest for lieutenant gov
ernor. The weakness of Mr.. VIM
berly was manifest. There was nc
possibility of his success from his
failure to obtain the support OF the
ring politicians in New Orleans
which he had sought.
The withdrawal of Mr.. Wimberly
will leave in the contest Hon. /. Z
Barrett of Caddo and Hon. Henry l.
Gueydan of Vermilion. the Coco
Government League candidate fol-
lieutenant governor.
The withdrawal of Mr.. Wimberly
will remove restraints and promises
direct or implied, in the parish OF
Bienyille, where the friends OF Mi
chel were sanguine of success.
In this contest for the lieutenant
governorship it is logical to assume
that the friends of Aswell, of Michel
and Of Hall will vote for either Bar
ret or Gueydan, as they may feel in
clined. The nomination will RESI-
with the majority of voters who will
give expression of their choice al
the Democratic primary in Janu-
airy next.
In anticipating this event the con-
festants for the lieutenant governor
ship will increase their activity. 4
may be said in no sense personal OF
from motives of partisanship, thai
State Senator Barrett, from present
indications, will receive the major
ity in North Louisiana, and with the
vote that will be given him in South
Louisiana aud in New Orleans, h.
will become the nominee Of thu
Democracy foR the Office of Lieuten-
ant Governor of Louisiana.

The Commoner: The Democrats

great fight in New Mexico. While
they failed to carry the state legis-
lature because of the gerrymander-
ing of the state, they surprised their
friends outside by what they did ac-
complish and proved that New Mex
leo is fighting ground. The Demo-
Gratis in the legislature should begin
at once to insist upon the ratifica-
ton of the income tax amendment
to the Constitution. That ought to
be the first act passed by the legis-
Iature. and the second ought to be
the submission of the initiative and
referendum. These two acts will
make good beginning for the new
state. The COmmOner cOngratulates
the Democrats of New Mexico upon

wishes them success in the contests
