The opening of the last three weeks of
the State primary campaign finds Con-
gresham A. P. Pujo, candidate for United
States Senator, in commanding position.
His high standing in his profession, his
splendid record as Representative of the
Seventh Congressional District, his frank
and manly stand on public matters and his
recognized ability have made new support
ers for him daily. His advocacy of Judge
Halls election insures him almost solid
vote from the Hall supporters in both city
and country, and his openness and fairness
in proclaiming his allegiance have won
friends for him, even among the opponents
of Judge Hall. Louisiana likes a man
who is not afraid to take an open stand on
any public question, and whose position
thereon does not vary with each parish he
visits.

When they turn out and vote the ring is
beaten; when any large proportion OF them
fail to do so, stay at home or do not vote,
the ring wins, and probably helps along
its majority by stuffng ballot boxes in the
unguarded precincts. When there is an
honest election, as we are going to have
this time; and when there is full vote
as the poll tax payments and registration
show we are going to have-the ring has
always been defeated in the past.

Did You Ever Stop to Think?

If you read this article through you will
and if you are young you will think twice.
Did you ever stop to think that you do
four things, just four and no more? You
think; you remember; you imagine; you
act. When you learn to think better, re-
member better, imagine better or act better,
you are increasing your efficiency, and,
therefore, your income. You may feel
that you are very successful now. Sup
pose you are; it isn't question of what
you know, but of how beneficial a practical
business education will be to you in addi-
ton to what you already know. You will
agree with US that to violate part of the
laws of business means partial failure, and
to violate all the laws means complete fail
ure. You are also aware that to observe
part Of the laws of business means partial
success, and to observe all the laws means
complete success. Our aim is to help you
observe higher per cent of the laws of
success, and, therefore. enable you to be
nearer the maximum success. The late
Prof. James of Harvard declares that the
average man only uses 10 per cent of his
brain power. Suppose you are twice as
capable as the average man. Even that
would mean you are only 20 per cent of
your maximum possibilities. The purpose
of our course is to produce maximum Of
proficiency with a minimum effort. Did
you ever stop to think that IS per cent of
the men of this country are only earning
SIS week or less? That 90 per cent fail
in business between the ages Of 40 and so?
That 50 per cent have no money at the age
of so? We have been very successful in
getting men out of the IS, the 90 and the
So per cent class. Why not let us help
you? We have been marvelously success
full In raising salaries, as is conclusively
proven by the letters in our catalog from
former students. The business world
wants thinkers and doors. There is a
famine of high priced men to-day; there
are thousands of men, worth thousand
dollars, year, but only few worth SIC, 900
year.. Be the latter kind of a man; you
can if you will We know that q man is
worth only about So day from the chin
down, selling muscle, bat as high as
500, 900 year from the chin. up, selling
brains. Be chin-upper and sell the
highest type of brains; you can't afford to
be a chin downer; there's no room for
such man. Take our thorough, practi-
cal course of bookkeeping, business train
ing, shorthand and typewriting, or teleg-
raphy; learn how to think, to remember,
to imagine and act. Our large catalog is
free for the asking, if you will only fill in
and mail the following blank, giving your

The Federation of OfficehoIders.

From the Monroe Independent
The forty nine of Don Caffery's facts,
which we have published from day to day
with comments suggested by each, lead to
and eliminate in the fiftieth, which pre-
sents, in nutshell, the political condition
in Louisiana to -day-a condition against
which thousands of Democrats are in re-
volt and under the banner of the Demo-
cratic Good Government League and lead
ership of Hall and Gueydan are attempting
to and will overthrow.
The fact.
so. The concentration of power in the
hands of clique, followed up by per-
petuation of that clique in office, has made
vote getting business and has brought
on those evils which prove the necessity
for rotation in Office. The federation of
oficeholders is almost as harmful as a
federation of the doctors would be to fur
ther business by spreading disease, or of
the lawyers to do 80 by compelling litiga-
ton. The professional politician, hanging
on to Office for life, and at his death sue
ceeded by his chief lieutenant, flourishes
when civic spirit flickers low, and vanishes
when it blazes up.
1.-The federation of Officeholders' is but
another term for oligarchy. Louisiana is
ruled to-day by an oligarchy composed OF
as ruthless band of political autocrats
and buccaneers as ever plundered and
oppressed people. But, thank God, civic
spirit is abroad in the land, it has blazed
up and the end of the oligarchy is in sight.
The oligarchy-the machine ing-has
been built up by the appointive power of
the Governor, by the creation Of useless
offices with excessive fees and salaries, by
the enactment of pernicious and Ubiquitous
registration and primary election laws
designed solely to keep the ms in and the
outs out, by unblushing frauds in elections
in the city of New Orleans, by dual office
holding, the lobby that watches over the
interests of the special interests and pre-
vents the enactment of beneficial laws in
the interests of the people, by the POLITICAL
ling Of the schools and other vicious
measures that would tax the brain of the
closest student Of political economy to list
and recount.
Under the system, the burdens of the
people, already excessive and oppressive
have been increased over million dollars
| by the Sanders administration in fees and
salaries alone. Sanders justifies this ex-
travagance and waste by saying that the
State and its demands and necessities have
grown. The States of Mississippi and
Texas and others have also grown bul
Louisiana's expenditures are out of al
proportion to theirs.
The spstem must be changed or the
Federation of Officeholders, the machine.
ring and the bosses, will bankrupt the
State.
