STATEWIDE PROHIBITION.

Is a statewide prohibition cam
paign desired at this time or in the
near future?
The Caucasian has already aligned
itself against the agitation of the
saloon or the liquor traffic, at this
time in any guise or form, for the
reason that the administration of
Governor Hall should be permitted
to fulfill its programme of reform
without hindrance or feeling which
would be provoked by the saloon or
liquor agitation.
At Baton Rouge the leaders of the
statewide prohibition movement
have met and held conference.
These men, in Difference to Gov
ernor Halls desire to carry out the
reforms promised the people, are
indisposed at this time to press the
statewide issue, but are prepared to
sound the bugle call and to inaug,l-
rate contest for statewide prohibi-
ton that will arouse to action every
man and woman in Louisiana op-
posed to the saloon.
This is not a threat but warn
ing, and therefore for the sake OF
peace and harmony and good fell
lowship segregation bills, prohibit
ton congressional bills and state
wide prohibition bills and all bills
for or against the saloon and the
liquor traffic should be laid aside.

JEFFERSON DAVIS.

throughout the Southland the an
niversary of the birthday of Jeffer-
son Davis will be observed with ap-
propriate ceremony
jefferson Davis was born in Ken
lucky June 3, 1903.
In some places the ceremonies
will be held tomorrow, Monday. In
Shreveport the programme as ar
ranged by the representatives OF the
Shreveport Chapter Daughters OF
the Confederacy and of the General
Leroy Stafford Camp No. 3, U. C. ",
will be carried out tbs evening in
the court house as announced.
In this commemOration of the
memory of the Chieftain of the Con-
federacy there is being perpetuated
the custom of honoring the Heroes
of the South" upon whose graves
wherever located in cemeteries or
elsewhere if within reach, are laid
offerings of flowers and evergreen.
In the performance of this melan
choly yet gratifying patriotic serV
ice the Daughters of the COnfeder
acy are the moving spirits. If it
were not for these grand and noble
women of today the descendants of
the Heroes of the South who eXpe-
rienced all the horrors of the strug
gle there would probably be little
notice of these memorials, but as
their mothers and their grand
mothers, they are unflinchingly
loyal to the memories of the past,
the Confederacy and all that which
is dear to the Southland.
In commemorative the anniver-
sary of the birthday of Jefferson
Davis, the significance is associated
with principles which have been
vindicated in the Constitution hand
ed down to posterity by the Fathers
of the Republic of the United States.
The failure of the Confederacy is
due to the overwhelming power of
the Federal Government, but this
issue is not pertinent for discussion
i'm the observance of the day which
is dedicated to the memory of JEFF
ferson Davis, who in his personality
and his individuality represented
the Confederacy, and as its chief
tain he was made to bear all the
hatred and vindictiveness which
could be heaped upon him by the
eonquerors.
Although subjected to all these
humiliations and all the sufferings
which were cowardly and unwar-
ranted by the usages of war, Jeffer-
son Davis, as the very embodiment
of the South and its Cause, main
tanned himself with characteristic
dignity and remained true to the
end to himself, his country and his
God.
From the exemplification of JEFF
ferson Davis, whose deeds of valor
and of useful accomplishments en-
bellish the historical records of the
United States, as well as of the Con-
federacy, there may be drawn the
teachings which would lead boys to
become men of action and of worth;
men who when measured from the
guase eff principles and duty are be-
yond the. reach of price.
On this day we may exclaim with
patriotic fervor all honor to Jeffer-
son Davis.
