A decision lately rendered by the U.
S. Supreme court carries with it COM
plete triumph for the Louisiana conten-
ton against the unjust action OF the
Texas authorities in seeking to retain
all of its trade within its own borders.
The Texas Railroad Commission for the
past ten years has enforced a policy
that Texas was supreme for the Tex
ans, and rates to and from points out
side of the State were made virtually
prohibitive.
In the first Sanders legislature II
1908, Senator Leon Smith offered con
current resolution to investigate the
conditions under which the business OF
Shreveport, New Orleans and othel
Louisiana cities had been disastrously
affected. Ex-Attorney Gene. al Guion
Attorney General Pleasant and Others
associated with them are greatly to b'
congratulated for the skillful fight the,
have made in breaking down the Texas
Chinese wall and again opening up I
large zone of trade that is natural,
tributary to Louisiana cities.

Echoes From East NatchitOches
East NatchitOches happenings Always

After reading of so many people In

Mr.. Aswell Complimented by the Dem
Ocrats In Congress.

Ocrats IN congress.
Mr.. Aswell was asked by the leaders
of the Democratic party in Congress
to answer Col. Roosevelt's attacks up
on the Democratic party. He did so
in speech on the floor of the House on
June 4, which appears in the Congress
ional Record of that date. Mr.. Aswell
fully sustained the confidence of his as
sociates in his ability to represent the
party in this matter, and his speech,
which was made in the interest of pass
ing the anti trust bill, is gem of sa-
tirical reference to the big Bull Moose
in his attacks upon Democrat policies.
The speech is being given nation wide
publicity, and is greatly enjoyed by all
who read it. At some future time
when not so badly crowded for space
we shall be pleased to print the speech.

Search and Seizure Bill.

News coming out of Baton
Rouge indicates that two very
important pieces of legislation
asked by the anti-saloon forces
will be enacted at the present
session of the general assembly.
These acts are: First. the Schell
bill, prohibiting the sale of near
beer; second, the search and
seizure measure introduced by
Senator Bowling, as amended in
committee.
1t will be noted that while
these measures have been drawn
and introduced by the anti-sa-
loon forces, neither one of them
is a prohibition BILL AS a mat
ter of fact, both proposed laws
are in behalf of law enforcement,
and for nothing else. There is
no attempt being made at Baton
Rouge to increase the extent OF
the dry territory nor to gain any
advantage for the prohibition
cause in any manner, shape or
form; the forces favoring en-
forcement of the laws already
upon the statue books are be-
hind the bills now before the
legislature.
The Journal can see no reason
on earth why any member of the
legislature should oppose either
of the propositions now pending
indeed, the man who opposes
them will simply put himself or
record as opposing law enforce
ment, not as opposing prohibi
bition. Shreveport Journal.

New Field Excites Oil Men.

Oil men are becoming excited
over the discovery of what is
said to be an extension of the
famous Glenn Pool. The Glenn
Pool has produced over 100. 600, !
600 barrels of oil in the last six
years. 1t has made a number of
millionaires. Lying between the
Glenn Pool and the Cushing Pool
the Great Western Petroleum
Company HIS just opened up 2SO
acres. Two wells have been
drilled, and if these wells prove
to be gushers, the value of this
tract of land will be almost meal
culable. Oil men figure on five
acres for a location, so this tract
| of 28O acres can be drilled for
over fifty wells. The production
of a we'll will range all the way
from 40 to 1000 barrels per day.
and with oil selling at rs cents
per barrel, it does not take long
to make a fortune.
What called attention to the
supposed extension of the Glenn
Pool in this vicinity was the
opening up of the famous Scott
well, which about a week ago
produced 500 barrels of oil in 80
hours. Although Oklahoma pro-
duces over 81, 900, 900 per week
in oil, and in this immediate vi
cinity over thirty-three and a
third per cent of the oil used in
the United States is produced, it
would seem that the beginning
has just been made, as there are
hundreds of acres that have new
er been touched, and any field
may spring into prominence over
night and make a new crop of
millionaires. Every night the
lobby of the Tulsa Hotel is crowd
ed with men eagerly discussing
the latest news from the oil field
and specializing in oil stock.
| The Great Western Petroleum
Company issues weekly bulletins
regarding the development in
the oil field, and these bulletins
may be obtained free simply on
request by addressing B. j.
Waugh, Sales Manager, Boulder
Building, Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Mr.. Perrin Announces for Congress.


Mr.. Perrin Announces for Congress.
In a page circular letter OF fifty
lines dated June /, 1914, Mr.. L.
w. Perrin announces that he is a
candidate for Congress from this
district. He uses the pronoun
II" forty-two times in his letter,
while the words me" and my"
occur in it nineteen times, max
ing 81 personal references to
himself in his fifty line letter.
That is the first remarkable thing
that occurs to us in his announce
ment. The second remarkable
thing is that he is severe and un-
fair in his reflections on the sew
eral gentlemen who composed the
Congressional committee, and
who took so much time and went
to so much pains and trouble to
give him a fair count as to the
result of the primary in the last
election.
He says: TT has been gener-
ally charged that | was counted
out in the last election. neith-
er deny or affirm this contention,
but leave you to Judge for your
selves whether was given a fair
DEAL"
Mr.. Perrin certainly cannot
hope to gain anything by this
left-handed fling at the commit
tee. These gentlemen investi-
gated every precinct that he
questioned, and he was given ev-
cry vote to which he was emit
tied, leaving him still behind Mr..
Aswell. Mr.. Perrin was fairly
beaten, and he personally thank
ed the committee for their fair
ness in the matter. 1t therefore
comes with an exceeding bad
grace for him to refer to the mat
ter at this time with quasi en-
dorsement of the charge of fraud.
Smarting under this charge SC
freely repeated by Mr.. Perrin's
partisans, the members of the
committee published a certified
statement of their proceedings,
and affirmed that there was nc
truth in the charge that there
was fraud in their count of the
vote.
There are no further remark
able things in Mr.. PERKINS, an.
nouncement, except that he says
Il shall engage in no campaign
of personalities and mudsling.
ing" and that he will seek t.
cultivate and perpetuate a spirit
of harmony and good will. >
Then he closes by saying: +"
promise you that l shall defeat
Mr.. AsWell."
Well, it is all right for Mr.
Perrin to be optimistic in thi.
matter, but we verify believe HI
will find himself short fully
thousand votes the next time thu
count is made.

Price of Wool


 Sometime last summer 1 took occasion in one of these letters to say that the placing of wool on the free list would not affect the price received by the sheep men. At that time there was considerable apprehension con- cerning the future of the wool market and 1 warned the sheep men not to be deceived by the Iugubriaus prophecies of the wool buyers, but to insist on the old price.
 Developments have fully sus- tained my position. This years clip will command the usual prices. The truth is that one of the crying needs of the wool bus mess in this country is the stand ization of products. The foreign wool growers are far ahead of us in that particular. They have been operating in free trade market where competitor was keen and where the successful man avaiIed himself of the lm-

provement suggested by science and experience. Our wool grow CTS on the other hand have been placing their faith in a protective tariff which did not protect them. The result has been that foreign wool growers have frequently been able to get better prices in a free trade market than our wool growers have obtained in a protected" market.
 For more than twenty-five years William J. Bryan and other Dem ocratic leaders have contended that the tariff on wool was a fake and a fraud, that it did not bene- fit the sheepmen but afforded an excuse for the outrageous tariff placed on woolen goods, thus en- riching the wooIen trust. Now their contentious are beng veri- fled.
 At the same time the eyes of the farmers are being opened. Wheat is on the free list and the price of wheat is not affected. Corn is on the free list and corn commands the old price. It is
