Pujo Will Quit Politics.

Hon. A. P. Pujo of Lake Charles has
announced that he will not be candidate
for Congress again from the Seventh Dis
trict. This is much to be regretted, as he
is one of the most profound statesmen in
that body, a clean man and truly patriot.
Always excepting John M. Parker, Mr..
Pujo and Henri Gueydan, did more to free
the State of Louisiana, at the recent pri-
mary election, than any other two men in
the State, and then, his position as chair
man of the Committee on Banking and
Currency, makes him one of the leading
men in the nation. Louisiana and the
Democratic party can i'll afford to lose his
services at this time, and we hope that he
will reconsider his purpose to withdraw
from public life. His place will be hard
to fill.-ManSfeld Enterprise.

State Central Committee.

The recently elected Democratic State
Central Committee met in New Orleans on
Tuesday of last week. Thomas H. Lewis
of Opelousas was elected Chairman,
Horace Wilkinson of West Baton Rouge
Vice. Chairman, A. W. Newlin, Secretary,
and Capt. Thomas ]. Ryan, Sergeant-at-
arms. The two former are Good Govern
ment Leaguers.
A resolution was adopted calling State
Convention to be held in Baton Rouge
June 4th for the selection of delegates to
the Presidential nominating convention,
Presidential electors and national COM
mitteeman.
There will be twenty delegates and their
twenty alternates elected to the Presiden-
tial Convention which meets in Baltimore
June 25th. Also, one delegate to repre-
sent the State on the National Committee.
AS there is no law authorizing "Presi-
dental Primary or for delegates to the
National Convention, it was decided that
the electors, delegates and committeeman
be appointed by the State Convention.
Delegates to the State Convention may
be selected by primary, parish convention,
mass meeting or election by the Parish
Committee; the manner to be determined
is entitled to nine delegates.
A resolution was introduced by Hon. j
S. Boatner, jr., of Concordia, demanding
the resignation of T. H. Harris, State Su
perintendent of Education. However, no
vote was taken on the resolution before
adjournment.

Has Worked for Party Harmony.

One thing Gov. Harmon has to commend
him, and that is his record as the chief ex-
ecutive of the State. He has harmonized
the Democracy of Ohio, which was four
years ago badly divided. He has brought
the disgruntled Tom Johnson Democrats
back into the camp of the regulars. He
purged the Legislature, dissolved the third
house, or lobby, and has brought the State
into the ranks of the well-regulated. His
attitude in the present Constitutional Con-
vention has been sane and logical. It is
probably due to. this fact alone that he has
not made more aggressive campaign, for
his time has been occupied with efforts to
provide new constitution for the State.
He is stronger than any Democrat yet
mentioned in the doubtful States of New
York and Indiana, and has repeatedly won
in Ohio when Democrats were unsuccess-
full in other States. If he is to make the
race for the Presidency it is time to open
his campaign. Memphis Commercial Ap-

died away only one member OF the human

"Hal has great chance. He will be, OF

a faction. If he is big enough to refuse TO
allow the old system to absorb him he will

Several years ago the Detroit Times
threw out whiskey advertising, and one
year ago beer advertisements were ex-
cluded from its columns. This policy,
says the editor of the Times, cost the paper
last year sum Of money in excess Of its
profits the year previous. However, as
the editor declares, there is compensation
in the knowledge that his paper has re-
fused to put on the white apron and sell
beer and whisky, and with clear con-
science he can read the copy which the

Lobbyists were So persistent during last
Thursdays session of the House OF Repre-
sentatives of Mississippi, in Jackson, that
it finally became necessary to exclude
them from the floor. We hope the next
General Assembly of Louisiana will adopt
the mississippi plan" of excluding all
obtruding lobbyists who seek to control
legislation and secure greedy appropria-
tons. Particularly do we desire to see
excluded college and university presidents,
who importune the Legislature at every
session for extra appropriations for the
institutions under their charge.
