Henri Gucydan for Congress.

The contest in the Third Congress
sonal District is reaching the stage
of intensity. The contestants are
Henri Gueydan and Congressman
Robert Broussard, recently elected
to The United States Senate.
IT would seem that in his greed
for Office that Congressman Brous-
sard will not follow the good exam
pie of Senator Williams of Missis-
sippi, who as Congressman Brous-
sard, was elected to the United
States Senate when a congressman
before his term of office had been
reached, but who, unlike Broussard,
declined to stand for a reelection to
Congress.
Before being seated in the United
States Senate, Mr.. Williams had to
wait nearly two years. So has Mr..
Broussard, but Mr.. Williams was
observant of the propriety which
relieved him of The discredit of self
ishness and of political greed.
1t is of record that when Congress
man Broussard was seeking the
nomination for the United States
Senate he received the unqualified
support and influence of Mr.. Guey-
dan and his friends, without which
Mr.. Broussard would perhaps have
been defeated. Mr.. Broussard should
have given evidence of his graft
itude by reciprocating his apprecia-
ton in his support of Mr.. Gueydan
for Congress-, but in this he has
failed
Although the Caucasian has no di-
rect interest in the Third Congress
sional District, it can not refrain
from the expression of its disap-
provalof Congressman Broussard's 5
opposition TO Mr.. Gueydan, Demo
crat tried and true, who has rem
dered great service to the State and
who should, as We hope earnestly,
WI be honored with the nomination
f0r Congress at the Democratic pri-
mary III September next.

Mr.. Veterinarians Is Riqht.

st. Louis Republic: Thomas X.
Neidringhaus says the Democratic
platform absolutely destroys the
protective principle which is the
fundamental tenet of the Republican
party
So it does, Mr.. Neidringhaus. The
protective tariff is the mother of the
trust, and the trust is the big broth
er of the money power. The protec-
tive tariff, with its prodigious swell
ing of government revenues, which,
according to that eminent authority,
Nelson w. Aldrich, is costing the
American people almost million
dollars day.
Nobody knows better than the well
informed Republican that the Dem
ocracy does net propose to sweep
the tariff away at stroke. It does
propose, as rapidly as is consistent
with the minimum disturbance of
business conditions, to lift tariff
taxes on the farmers coat, the
blanket that covers the workingman
at night, the stockings of the chill
dren of the poor, the steel sold at in
.lated prices at home by manufac-
tuners who are selling thousands of
tons in the international market in
competition with the great steel
making nations of the world.
IF there is one thing On which the
American people are determined it
is to retire to innocuous desuetude
the party whose Fundamental ten
ct" is that protective principle
which has given us our Morgans and
our Perkinses, our Baers, our Gary's,
our Goreys and our Schwabs.

TO Eeep Dry Territory Dry.

Monroe Independent: A most i'm,
portant step in the direction of legis-
Iation to keep liquor out of dry ter
riIory was taken during the past
week, when the judiciary committee
Of the United States Senate ordered
4 favorable report on bill giving to
states where prohibition is in effect
the power to intercept shipments OF
liquor from wet territory.
The proposed legislation has Ions
been advocated and fought for by
the prohibitionists, and, on the other
hand, it has been vigorously opposed
by the liquor interests. Wide differ
ence of opinion prevails as to the
constitutionality Of the measure anC
it is not expected the bill will be
passed by the Senate this session.
The new act prohibits shipments
Of liquor where any person interest
cd in them intends to violate a law
Of the State into which the ship,
ment is sent, and makes liquor in
Interstate commerce subject to the
laws Of the State upo arrival with
in its boundaries and before delivery

REALLY, II Is 70 LAUck~

OF Col. Bob Ewing.

The IbervilIe Sentinel: Really, 1T
is to laughr' Funny, amusing, laugh
able things happen in this funny old
world every day. Some Of them we
don't hear of, others we do. The lat
est one is the political cavorting OF
Col Bob Ewing, national committee
man from this State, owner OF the
New Orleans Daily States and the
Shreveport Times and one of the old
Ward Bosses Of New Orleans, who
was always up to his ears in every
thing the gang did until he refused
to support Michel for governor, be
cause he could not find it in his
righteous heart to support a ward
boss for governor" Now, b'gosh,
since il has come to a fight between
the decent people of New Orleans
and the Ward Bosses the distin-
guished colonel wasted no time in
getting back among his old chums,
and is supporting with all the vigol
he can command the old gang and
every man they have put forth for
acity office, giving as a reason that
he can not afford to flock with the
Good Government people because
John NJ. Parker has turned Bull
Moose, and he can not afford to af
iiliate with him politically, although
he esteems him very higiHy person
ally. OF course the plea is specious
Onc, since Mr.. Packer has withdrawn
from the organization and no longer
wirlds influence in it. We Opine that
it makes very little difference to
John NJ. Parker what the redoubt-
able colonel may do, and feel certain
heis not particularly anxious about
affiliating with him in any way.

1t is current talk OF the street chat
sOele of the laws are violated with
impunty and within the knowledge
of the authorities to check or sup
press these transgressiOns, but these
defiances are tIagrantly on the in
crease.
Why?
WAat should be done is plain.
AS the head of his department
commissioner FuIlilove should d.
rect with emphasis and in a spirit
of pos6tiveness that could not be
miscOnstrued or misunderstood that
he demands that all violators of the
laws shall be brought to the bar of
justice.
THE should be done without de-
tcctives or paid men in plain clOthV',
Gut by the police.
With positive instructions to the
chief and his subOrdinateS to en-
force the law shen being violated
there should follow some good re-
suits, and if in the event arrests
were impossible, then change OF
system and of men would possibly
lead to an enforcement of the laws
which are treated with derision.
It has been suggested and it is
street talk that convictions in the
City Court are difficult and when
convicted the penalty is nominal and
that the City Court will not accept
the testimony of spoilers and plain
clothes men.
We reiterate that the municipal
laws should be and, except in rare
instances could be, enforced by the
officers in the regular service, and
if these have the evidence to con
vict, the guilty may not escape, but
should they go free on flimsy pen
atty, dscreditab' to the law and to
every sense of justice, this disre
gard of a solemn duty may be
reached and corrected.
The whole issue which is agitat-
ing the public mind simplifled to a
few words is: If the laws are being
violated why is it that the violatOrs
are not arrested and held to ac-
count?
Possibly Commissioner Fullilove
may explain and give his reason
why.

u Ihe WrSsEra half OF the cotton
belt she weather has been dry and
hot during the week, and as rain is
needed in that section there have
been some complaints of deterlOra-
ton. As yet, however, no serious
damage has been done, and in the
southern part Of Texas, where pick
ing has commenced rain would prob
ably do more harm than good. All
reports agree in describing the pros
poets in Texas and Oklahoma as ex-
ceIlenl, and provided the dry wealth
err is not too prOtracted nothing has
yet occurred to mark expectations.
Although the new cotton is now
turning up in southern Texas, the
, crop is undoubtedly several weeks
later than last year, as the receipts
TO date compare but poorly with the
liberal movement up to this time a
year ago. AS the crop is now matur-
ing rapidly it is probable that deliv-
cries of Texas cotton will be heavy
during August.
The rice crop is making good pro-
grcss and is rapidly maturing. The
first new crop rice was marketed
during the past week and with fav
0rabIc weather there should be a
good movement during August. The
corn crop is doing nicely and good
WELD is looked for throughout the
South.
In the sugar district the weather
has been favorable during the past
week. With plenty of sunshine and
high temperatures sugar cane has
made good progress and planters
have been able to work their fields
and clay by" their crops.
