THE MAIL ORDER BUSINESS

A Shreveport man has entered
suit against a Chicago mail order
house because he was fiimfammed
on a shotgun he purchased from
a description in a catalogue for
$24.9S, which was said to be 1.-THE
same as your local dealer asks 500
for" The Shreveport man sent in
his money order and received a
cheap claptrap piece of pot metal
with partly varnished stock which
lie claims, he would be ashamed
10 have his friends see him carry
ing.
The Shreveport man is but one
of many. In many instances it
is easier to fool a human being
than it is a dog or horse. In
.stinct.in an animal at least causes
it to hesitate in making the same
mistake twice. But yet there is
a great army of people in Amer
lea who will send their money to
foreign mail order houses day af-
ter day, in preference to giving
it to the local merchant. They
may find an occasional bargain,
but nine times out of ten If the
price of the article is over 81 Ghey
get gloriously bunked.
The Shreveport man who is
bowling should be ashamed of
himself. The average man who
gets stung acts the part of man
and does not whimper about it.
Let him sell his piece of old pot
metal to the nearest junk dealer
burn up hat mail order catalogue,
look up his local hardware dealer
and apologize for his lack of 10y
atty and superabundance of stup-
idity,-L. G.. Press.

NO MATTER WHO IS ELECTED

RAJ REVISION OF
THE TARIFF.

The following letter from Mr.
Rroussard to the editor OF tht
Houma Courier expresses In nut
shell some of the reasons why hG
should be returned 10 Congress
for the next tyO years IN order
to be able to serve his people at a
critical time in the history of the
country, for at no time has there
been a greater need of strong, eX-
perienced men in Congress lhan
right now, and Mr.. Broussard
ranks among the strongest men,
bers Of the House and is one of its
foremost debator. He is the most
powerful advocate in the United
States Of the sugar industries Of
.he country.
Washington, d. c., May, %, '12.
Mr.. T. B. Easton, Houma, La:
Dear Sir-I was very glad to
learn that you approve Of my an
nouncement for reelection to
Congress. My action in this re-
spect was actuated solely by de-
sire to serve the people of the
Third District.
AS you know, we have had a
hard and strenuous fight this ses-
SION on sugar, and, while We
have probably thwarted off legis-
lation on that industry at this
time, still it is only a postpone
ment of tthe efforts made by some
to place sugar on the free list. No
matter whether a democrat or re,
publican be elected President,
there will in all probability be a
general revision of the tariff fol-
lowing the national election, and
in that general revision not only
sugar, but rice and lumber will
come up for consideration. Those
who are interested in these indus
tries, directly and Indirectly, as
well as others, argue that, by
virtue Of my long service, my ac-
qua.ntance amongst members Of
both the House and Senate and
{ he added prestige / have ac-
quired by my election to the Sen
ate, | can be Of more service to
the people of the Third District
in the next Congress than can any
new man.

PROTECTING THE GOVERNOR

The Governor of Louisiana
needs body guard to protect him
from the office hunters during at
least thirty days before and sixty
days after his Inauguration. Such
a thing being imprac. ical in Dem
ocratlc Louisiana, the House Of
Representatives. which Is com
posed largely Of the Governor s
friends, personal as well as politi-
cal has thrown at least a partial
ly protecting arm around the
chief executive by passing the
Butler ani-pie resolution. "
This resolution expresses the SER
tlment that every member of the
body when he went before his peo-
PIE asking election to the Iegis-
latura, impliedly stated that be
would serve out his term in the
law-making body However there
are sad to be some members who
were elected with the idea hidden
back in their head somewhere
that they would use the legisla-
tive job as stepping stone to
something better in ghe way of
political job. The resolution in
troduced by the gentleman from
Ierrebonne, and passed by the
house by vote Of 63 to 10, sets
Up that any member of the house
who shall 90 to the Governor wi h
an application for another joo
than the one he now holds shall
do 50 only after having rendered
the governor his resignation as a
member of the house of repre-
sentatives, and that such rcsigna !
ton, once given shall be irrevok-
able. As a ma ter of fact, OF
course, there IS nothing binding
or Of legal effect about such
resolution, but it puts the house
Of representatives on record, and
it gives the Governor of the State

 Although it was proved beyond ques- ton that Powers Is the man who Is wanted for the embezzlement, MagfS- trate Reynolds discharged him on a legal technicality because Detective Cronan could't take oath that of his in Bridgeport at the time stated in the warrant for his arrest Because of this alleged flaw, Magistrate Key nplds refused to allow the man to be held, accompanying his discharge with the remark above quoted.
 Powers was first arrested about. a week ago on Connecticut warrant served by New York officer who ac- companied Detective Cronan to Pow CTS home in Brooklyn.
 Powers secured the services of a lawyer who at once procured Powers discharge on the ground that he was illegally arrested and that a magiS- trate's warrant should have been se- cured.
 A magistrates warrant was then sworn out and Powers was rearrest- ed. His lawyer delayed trial of the case several times and had Powers bail reduced from $2,500, as original y fixed, to $1,500. That sum couldn't be procured and Powers remained in jail while awaiting trial He was a very fussy prisoner and quarreled with the jail authorities because he wasn't fur nished with a special blanket and pill -ow.

The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1912-01-05

Or December 13, 1909, he was dis charged from his trusteeship by the local z probate court and Attorney Christian Newman was appointed trustee in his place. Attorney New man looked over the affairs of the estate and certained that the fund of which Powers was in charge had disappeared
 The late William H. Bunnell, former supervisor of the city's poor. was bondsman for Powers. Attorney New man therefore brought suit against MT. BunneIlsr widow for the amount of the defalcation
 Mrs. Bunnell thereupon complained to the authorities that Powers was a GefauIIer and a warrant was issued for the arrest of the man.
 Powers worked here as motor man and is similarly employed at the present time in Brooklyn. He ex- hibits a very strong unwillingness to return to Connecticut and explain the affairs of the estate of which he was trustee.
 According to the summons served on Detective Cronan he must enter his appearance in the New York court within 20 days He will do so and if necessary will be represented by At torney William Van Wyck of New York, a nephew of Judge Van Wyck.
