A Grave Situation.

Do the people of Louisiana consider the
gravity Of the situation in their state!
Men are not only charged with the crime
of making fraudulent election returns, but
election officials in New Orleans has e
actually entered plea of guilty to the
least specification of the charge, in ord r
to escape the just sentence of 9olng to the
penitentiary. And, TOO, these frauds were
committed in the interest Of a candidate
for an office the incumbent OF which
should be above suspicion--a position in
the highest tribunal OF the state-aEd
whose sense of honor should have led him
TO promptly tender his resignation, wheths
he connived at the fraud or not. A man
who will accept an Office procured by
fraud is not worthy of the position. One
of the deares, rights of a free people is
that of the franchise. aud when they
quietly submit to being defrauded OF a
free use of that privilege they are NO
longer worthy of its exercise.--Ruston
Leader.

make the city of Portland the scene of
their operations.
The loan shark business has created
la system of slavery more frightful in
its effects in many instances than the
Serfdom of Russia OF the conditions
And yet the old State of Maine, from
which emanated the message that
played such an important part in the
abolition of slavery in this country is
today perhaps unwittingly assisting in
the continuance of another system of
slavery that has it's grip on the threats
of 200, 000 wage-e learners in New York
alone.
The operation of loan agencies under
conditions approaching justice will do
more TO correct the evils of usury than
a good many laws based on suppress
| sion but the Legislature will not be
able TO excuse failure to deal with this
subject the plea that it is difficult will
not extenuate non action. Against
| that plea it may be said there is no
equity involved. The business of loan
sharking, of practical blackmail under
| the form of business transaction
must be destroyed and opportunity
must be afforded for the organization
Of reputable business institutions that
will deal with the situation from so
cial point of view.

Fearing the loss OF his household
furniture, the unfortunate borrower
went to salary loan office and mort

were hardly sufficient nov to Pay his
interest payments to the loan shark.
Somehow or other he managed to
struggle along until his family was
sufficiently recovered for him to return

that unless the total amount due was
paid on the following day file would
be placed against his wages. Know

total amount borrowed and interest at
more than zoe per cent. per annum, the
loan shark still claimed balance of
