THE MAYORSHIP.

In the last issue of the BANNER
We expressed an earnest hope
that Hon. James A. Peterman,
the present efficient Mayor of
Franklin, would reconsider his
decision not to stand for re. cleo
zion, and that he would permit
mis- fellow.citizens, by votes. to
retain him in his present position.
It is a fact. however. that Mr..
Peterman has now definitely de-
cided not to run.
The BANNER therefore pledges
it's support to Mr.. Charles Lauve
in his candidacy for Mayor of the
city of Franklin. Heis our choice,
and he is deserving OF being the
choice Of all the voters of this
city. MIR. Lauve is we'll known
to our people. He has held po-
,itions of public trust, and in
every instance has been equal to
the service required of him. For
years before 1910, he had been
-ecretary of the city council, and
his services in that important po-
sition gave him an intimate
knowledge of municipal affairs
and government which amply
equips him for the higher duties
and responsibilities Of the office
of Mayor. He has also been
manager of the electric lights and
waterworks system of the city;
and his wise and economical
management thereof is largely
the cause of their present salts
factory condition. He has fine
administration ability; he is hon.
est, energetic. non-partisan and
conservative. No one is better
qualified to carry to completion
the measures and reforms inaugu-
rated by our present Mayor, be-
cause he is familiar with them,
and the purposes for which they
were inaugurated meet with his
appreciation and approval.
Mr.. Lauve came to Franklin in
his early manhood a poor young
man relying alone on his trade
for his support. By industry,
economy and fair dealing he has
prospered, and above all other
things, he has succeeded in build
ing up among his fellow-towns-
men an enviable reputation
which loudly bespeaks his merit
and worth as a citizen. He has
always since he become among
US, taken a deep interest in mu-
nicipal affairs, and has studied
them faithfully. His experience,
ability and fitness for the office of
Mayor, therefore, are not conjec-
tural merely, but they are proven
facts.
1t is with pleasure that the BAN
NER espouses the cause of Mr..
Charles Lauve in his campaign
for the Office of Mayor of Frank.
lin; and for his success this jour-
nal will use its earnest and untir-
ing efforts.

Parcel Post.

Notwithstanding the fact that
ting Republican party has the Pre-
sidency and controls the Senate.
the Democratic House with public
opinion solidly at its back will es-
tablish parcel post delivery be-
fore the present session of Con-
gress ends. The six big express
Companies which are enjoying
enormous dividends, have been
fighting this bill with all their
might, and while the republican
party was in full possession of the
Government the express COM
panies had no trouble in killing
as they come up but in dealing
with a "Democratic House" they
find that it is horse of another
color. The express companies
have been trying to represent the
small country merchants, as 60
ing to ruin when this bill becomes
a law, then they claim the rural
population will make all of their
purchases from the larger cities
instead of at home. Some such
argument as this was advanced
when the rural delivery was being
discussed nineteen years ago,
but the small merchant instead Of
having been impoverished, has
been made very prosperous and
the establishment of the parcel
post by which packages Of linn
tied amount will be carried through
the mails at a low rate, will
greatly benefit the small mer-
chant because it will encourage
more people to live in the country
and TINS stop a strong influx to-
wards the larger cities.

Give Us Good Roads.

Again the BANNER calls the at.
tention of the Police Jury to the
condition of the roads in this
parish. 1t is not our intention to
be unduly insistent about the
matter, but the question has be.
come so serious that it will not
down. 1t demands instant atten-
ton. Those members of the po-
lice jury who are forced to use
the public roads, no matter what
their condition is, will, we are
confident, admit that our COM
plant is not unreasonable.
The roads leading to the city Of
Franklin are 50 bad, that it has a
seriously hurtful effect upon the
business. 1t prevents the people,
who live in the surrounding
country, from having a free and
full Intercourse with the town; it
has a paralyzing effect upon its
trade; it makes business extremely
dull; in fact, the bad roads,
coupled with the unfavorab BILE
schedule of the Cypremort Branch
railroad, diverts its legitimate
trade, and cause the customers of
it's merchants and other business
men, who under fair conditions,
naturally prefer to come here, to
go elsewhere to get their sup
plies and do their trading. The
fact that the business men OF
Franklin have cause and a right
to complain. admits of no discus
sion. and of no just denial.
The Police Jury will meet in
regular session next Tuesday. The
BANNER earnestly insists that it
adopt an Immediate remedy for
the evil which admits of general
complaint.

After an alien rule Of China
for period of nearly 300 years
the Manchu dynasty has stepped
down and the Chinese republic
at last is launched. Failure or
success is now up to the men at
the head of the movement and
the people themselves. China
has many able, wise and patriotic
statesmen and her people have
shown by their successful revo-
luton, determination and ability
to carry out great undertakings
Free from outside interference
there is no reason to doubt that
the Chinese republic will give a
good account of itself in the fam.
lily of nations.

The Tensas Gazette says: The
Hon. Robert Ewing, proprietor of
the Daily States and leader or
"boss" of the Tenth Ward of Or
leans parish, has announced his
desire to succeed himself as a
member of the National Demo-
cratic Committee from Louisiana.
The Gazette is opposed to Mr.
Ewing's candidacy. We regard
the result of the recent primary as
expressive of the will ofthe people
of Louisiana and cheerfully bow
to that will, although the result of
that election was the defeat of the
candidate for United States Sem
ator whose cause We warmly es-
poused and the candidate for Gov
ernor whom the Gazette also sup
ported.
But why should Mr.. Ewing get
the endorsement of the reform
element in the party which so re-
Gently signally defeated John T.
Michel? The chief cause, if not
the only cause, of Mr.. Michel's
defeat was that he is the leader or
"boss" of the 18Th Ward. Why
should the "boss" of the 10Th
Ward, Mr.. Ewing. be spared?
No, let us be consistent and
make clean sweep. Surely none
OF Judge Halls supporters believe
that Mr.. Ewing is real reformer
like them. We cannot conceive
the possibility of a Ward Boss
getting the support of the Good
Government League. 1t looks as
if Mr.. Ewing will have to go.

According to Logan Waller
Page, Director of the Office OF
Public Roads, there are 2,199, 845
miles of public roads in the United
States. It would take a man 65
years to cover this vast mileage
riding 80 miles a day in a high
powered automobile. From these
figures it would seem that the
public highways have obtained a
pretty firm grip on the country.
