Attorney Joe Moore In Race.

In another column OF the Rice Belt
Journal appears the announcement Of
District Attorney Joseph Moore as a
candidate tor Judge in conformity with
the recent amendment to the constitu.
ton granting an additional Office CT the
kind for this district.
In coming before the people Of CalCa.
sieu, Cameron, Jefferson Davis, Allen
and Beauregard parishes Mr.. Moore
presents record of achievement and
of public service that is hard to equal.
Mr.. Moore was raised at SugartoWn
in CalcaSieu parish and received his
primary education there and at State
University at Baton Rouge, He later
went to Tulane University, graduating
in the 1904 law class of that school.
Before going to Tulane, Mr.. Moore
had read law with Judge W. F.
SchWing at Lake Charles, and immed.
lately following his graduation became
partner with Mr. Schwing. This part.
nerShip existed until a few months
ago, when it was severed on account
of the district attorney needing to re.
move the major share Of his business
to the new court house.
Mr.. Moore was elected city attorney
of Lake Charles in 1898, rendering an
efficient service in this capacity.
In 1893 the present district attorney
was member of Company G. First
Louisiana infantry in Spanish American
war serving throughout the campaign,
until peace was declared. He was a
corporal in his command.
MIR. Moore was the CalcaSieu member
Of the congressional committee for the
Seventh district which created ten
years ago.
He was elected district attorney in
1900, serving until 1904. He was again
elected in 1903, and is now in the closing
part of this term.
MIR. Moore was one Of the first public
men mentioned as an available candi-
date for the extra judgeship in the
event it should be granted by the legiS.

made good record for himself. He has
endeayored, and with success, to ad.

and his friends are staunch in the be.

i. l.. READ, EDITOR.

In taking the stand that we are, in
the present campaign, we are moi
actuated by motives Of personal feeling
for o. against either OF any of the
candidates that are now il the field for
any OF tire several offices to be filed,
tut solely for what we conceive to be
for the good OF the parish. For sixteen
years Jennings has fought for the
division Of the parish in order that she
might secure whatever benefits may
accrue from being the parish seat Of
the new parish and controlling the pc.
HtiCal affairs OF the parish. As is well
known, in order to safeguard herself
against any possible chance OF failure
she trimmed the western part of the
parish of every vote possible that there
was reason to believe would in any.
wise be antagoniStic to her m0nopo.
ltstic plans. The results of this plan.
ming is we'll known. Jennings with her
nearly SEQ votes within her own voting
precinct was enabled to win the parish
scat by a very small majority over the
remainder of the parish. Now that she
has won that much it would be folly to
presume that she is going to rest on
her honOrS and not strive for the DO.
lttical control Of the parish. And in
spite of her oft repeated statement that
il she won the parish seat she would
grant to the rest of the parish the of.
fCerS of the parish, still we find she has
candidates out who are making a
strenuous campaign for the most i'm.
pprtant offices of the parish. Should
she be successful in securing the
offices at this election there is not the
slightest doubt but that she would be
enabled to build up political machine
that would make the selection of a
apublic official in this parish, from out
side OF Jennings, a practical impossi.
bility. For this reason we believe that
every citizen who has the welfare of
the parish at heart should NAKED a
determined fight against permitting
Jennings to secure a strangle hold
upon the parish that will enable her to
dominate its political affair for the next
generation. The election of the PEG.
pies Candidates as given On the front
page of the Journal will assure to the
people the control of their political
affairs.

Parish Superintendent John Mckeese
Greatly Pleased With Work in
Welsh Schools.

Superintendent of Education, John
MeNeeSe, who in point of years III SER
vice, as well as III age is probably the
oldest Superintendent in the State,
came over from Lake Charles, Tuesday
and spent the greater portion OF the
Gay visiting the Welsh schools When
interviewed Wednesday morning, MIR.
McNeeSe expressed himself as highly
pleased with the splendid quality Of
work that is being done in the schools
in this city, and as being perfectly
aStonished at the rapidity with which

Mr., McNeese praised without stint
the work that is being done by The
Welsh teachers, and the efficient train
ing that the pupils are being given. He
also expressed high degree OF appre-
citation of the excellent manner i'll which
the building, grounds and surroundings
were being kept.
This is probably the last visit that
Superintendent McNeese will make 10
the schools in this city in an official

vision Of the schools will be taken

Welsh Boy to Take Charge of iteW
Bank at SULPHUR.

It is with a pardonahle degree of
pride both in the ability Of the Welsh
boys, and the thorough training given
them IN the Welsh bank, that we ale
called upon to record the departure CT
the second of our young men within
the past two years TO take charge OF
banks in other places. Less than two
years ago Mr., Austin Kiplinger who
had been working in the bank here for
several years was chosen from among
all their employees, By the CalcaSieu
Trust and Savings Bank to take charge
of their branch bank at Vinton. The
rapid growth Of that institution is a
sufficient tribute of the wisdom of their
choice in selecting a Welsh boy fer its
head.
Last Saturday Mr.. C. A. LaRue, who
succeeded Mr. Kiplinger in the work
here and has been here less than two
years, was chosen by the banking
company to take charge Of the new
bank they are opening up in Sulphur,
La. Thus within two years two of our
young men have been called to take
the responsible positions of heads
of banks, from their work in the
Welsh bank.
Mr.. LaRue's place in the Welsh bank
has been filled by Mr.. G. P, Lake, of
Lake Charles, who has had about two
years experience in the National Bank
of Lake Charles. Mr.. Lake comes here
highly recommended and will doubtless
I'LL acceptably the position made vacant
by Mr.. LaRue'S departure.

fourth OF the entire voting strength of

should she be permitted to elect her
officers this first election, and builC
UP a Jennings political ring?

Of the parish, than did that of Lake

sRANTLEY FOR SENATOR?

From rather unauthentic sources in
Wasaington the news has been sent
broadcast that Senator Bacon IS to
retire when his present term in the
senate expires and that Congressman
Brantley is considering the question
of making the race. We are abso-
lutely without any information what
ever or this subject and while we
would hate 10 lose the services Of
Senator Bacon, who IS regarded as
one of the ablest men in the upper
house yet ii he has reached that po-
sition where he is seeking surcease'
from Official life, We hasten to say
that there IS no mal in the state
better qualified to succeed him than
is the Hon. William Gordan Brantley
of he Eleventh congressional dis
trict.
1t would be a waste of time and
words for The News to go into the
congressional record of Congressman
Braatley. Only a few weeks ago ne
announced the fact that ne would re
tire from his present services when
the tenn which he is now serving
expires. 1t was with a spontaneity
remarkable in its nature that the
press Of the country deplored his
action and exalted his record. We
believe, as we have often said, that
he is made of the real material which
is essential and necessary to broad
craftsmanship.

ing of United States senator and in
the proper conception of the high du-
ties involved?

Bacon wishes to retire that the man

his t.tterance manifests a disinclina-
ton to be bound by the will OF the
majority of the party in any event.
Suppose, which is much more than
barely possible, the convention at
Baltimore should nominate Governor

Bryan would refuse to support him

democrat? Yet it is just what Mr..
Bryan's present stand indicates con-
clusiTely that he would do. If Mr.
Harmon is nominated, he is not a
democrat and will not participate il
the democratic campaign. If his
man, Wilson, is nominated, then he is
a democrat and will work for the
succ ess of the ticket. That is the
Bryan position in a nutshell
Those who took this position when
Mr.. Bryan was the nominee OF the
democratic party for president were
denounced by him as traitors and
kicked out of the party-which was
perfectly right because, if they re-
fused to support the nominee of the
party, they could not be considered
good democrats. But Mr.. Bryan
ought to admit that the same rule
of party conduct applies to his own
case. If he has right to refuse to
be oound by the action of the party,
and still claim to be a democrat,
then everybody else has that right.
The truth probably is that Mr..
Bryan's declaration is intenGec as a
piece of political thunder in the in
terest of the candidacy of Woodrow
! wilson. He hopes by making this
declaration to brighten the uncertain
voters in the party into supporting
Wilson, under the fear that, if Bryan
bolts, the democratic ticket cannot
be elected. 1t is a part of the fami.
liar Bryan tactics-the party must
90 AS he says or he will raise merry
hades with the party's prospects OF
victory.
The democratic party has surely
risen above this one man domination
by this time. With the brightest OF
prospects it has ever had for winning
national victory, it will decline to
be browbeaten and bullied by the
man who asserts himself the dictator
of its policies and yet holds himself
abo3e the usual pledges and bonds ,ot
party organization.

B7YAN's PRESENT ATTITUDE.

We have frequently expressed the
opinion that William ]. Bryan has
little regard for the will of the Gem-
ocratic party when the majority of
the party disagrees with his own
views. This statement has been as
frequently denounced by Bryan fac
tionists and worshipers. 1t has now
been confirmed by the direct state
ment of Mr.. Bryan himself. He has
declared that, in the event the dem
ocrats of his state instruct the dele
gates from that state to vote for
Harmon, he will not serve as a dele
gate, In other words, if the majority
of The party in his own state prefers
man he does not personally like an
a candidate for president, Mr.. Bryan
will refuse to be bound by that Sc
lection. Is this the sort of demo-
crazy that tends to party harmony
