The Press Convention.

The meeting OF the Louisiana
Press Association held in Shrsve-
port last week WAS one of the most
successful held in many years, the
sttsndancs was large, the program
select, and the receptions and on
tsrtalnments the best.
The newspaper people wore
much impressed with tho progress
of Shreveport and those who had
visited this beautiful little city a
lew years ago were surprised to
sss how fast it is growing.
Tue census three years ago gave
it a population of $4,000 and heI
citizens now estimate tho pOpula,
ton at $4,000 which show ga rapid
increase IN population.
The new officers of the associa
ton arc: President, A. j. Frantz
of tho Shreveport journal; Vice
President, VIM. E. Kreds, of th'
Lake Charles American; SecOnC
Vice President, Miss Eula Vande

above all the recent investlga-
tions have turned out to be hascOs.
They did succeed in putting one
over on him, in spite OF his long
drawn.out protestation OF inno-
cencs. But we could not expect
him to acknowledge his guilt;
mono of them ever do. As SO much
investigating had been going on,
and without a single conviction,
something had to be done, and
Lorimer was made the goat. And
it ia too bad that their first sue
cessful case was against a man
who had in his boyhoOd sold pa
pers for living. and had become
millionaire by honest toll! The
pessimist will probably hold that
no man can become a millionaire
hon estly; but this pessimlst must
understand that tho so-called crust
doss not put the same construc-
ton upon the word "honesty"
that he does, and hence assume a
lseway which would bring the
blush of shame to the alabaster
cheeks of those who worship God
rather than Mammon. The justi-
ficatiou Of their acts is measured hy
tho emoluments which flow
into their Golfers. The pessimlst
must likewise remember that these
zoaIots in the mo- ey-acqulring
game are simply doing their part
toward the fullfillment OF that
quotation contained in the Bible,
"The poor ye shall have with you
always" or words to that effect
Their motives, then, being phi
lanthropic, undue criticism on The
part of the pessimist should cease.
While all this listens good, the
writer wishes to 60 on record az

prayers upon the people in their

and it might DO said with equal
truth at this time that of the max
ing of Investigations by the au-
thoritiss at Washington there Is
no end.
While there have been investl-
cations galore in the near past,
final judgment has not been hand
cd down by the committees hav-
ing tho Investigations In charge.
If the reason for this is lack OF
funds with which to continue the
Investigations, Uncle Sons barl
Is always full, and the committees
should not permit any false mo-
dssty on their part to deter them
from going after second slice. 1t
10 up to these committees to finish
their job; the people want to know
whether those on the slab are the
victims of persecution or not.
Ex-senator Lorimer thus far
seems to Lave been the only goat
. of the numerous Investigations
which have swept fsd-like over
the country. This investigating
: craze cannot be justified on any
other ground than that it has be-
como a fad, and consequently must
DO followed. While things are a
little slow right now, if this in
; vestigation fad should be revived,
the President, Cabinet officers. and
Senators and Congressman may
all be put on the slab, being ill.,
vestigated by slsuth-like investi-
gators, who will themselves, in
their turn. be Investigated. We
are led to wonder, from recent
events, If the Senator or Congress.

DIVIDENDS FROM THE OCEAN

The Oceanic Steam Navigation COM
panys owner OF the White Star line.
has had bad year. Its financial re-
port tor 1912. recently published,
shows that after covering all ordinary
and extraordinary costs of operation
and administration, and adding a tidy
sum to its insurance and reserve fund,
the concern is able to pay out in div1-
dends to its stockholders only a paltry
thirty per cent. on its capital. The
dividend for the preceding year was
sixty per cent.
The falling on is chiefly due to the
destruction of the Titanic and the
temporary withdrawal of her sister
ship, the Olympic, for repairs and al
terations. which public opinion liter
ally forced the company to make.
The directors are quite pathetic In
their statement OF the company's
woes. They feel that the public has
been very unreasonable In laying all
the emphasis On the fifteen hundred
lives that were lost and forgetting the
frightful suffering of the stockholders.
They evidently hope that the people
will make no more demands for safety
expenditures, since it ought to be OBJ
vlous that return OF only thirty per
cent. a year Is too small an incentive
to men OF high business ability to
put their capital at the service of
travellers and traders. -A1gernon Lee

FREEING THE LABoRfR


Practically and necessarily within

growing up two other states. each the
natural enemy of the other and arm.

capitalism. which has long since been
the state that is real-the political
state the sham. The other is organic.
ed labor. These two warning states,
already dissolving the appartnt state,
draw near to the struggle that is to
pc the end OF one or the other. That
g. unless and upon this pivot the
uestny OF man for long time to
come-unlesS capitalism is able to
persuade labor into an alliance and
cooperation with itself And this ia

course leads to labor's collaboration

duction, and Of capitalist law and Gus.
