will charge the dominant faction
with extravaganza in the management
of state affairs, and will present fig

that the increase in taxation through

machine domination, has been
much greater in proportion than the
increase in population.
The campaign is expected to be in
full swing by the opening of February,
and as only about seven weeks will
remain between that time and the date
of the primary election, the battle is
expected to wax fast and furious until
the polls close at the primary election

Timber Workers Tried and Acquitted.


The trial and acquittal of Tom TORY,
Oscar Chandler and Dempsy and Co
lumbus Coleman in the Grant parish
district court this week, on the charge
of waylaying, shooting and wounding
with intent to kill, was case of con-
siderable notoriety. 1t grew out of a
series of labor troubles in which sever
al men have been shot at, and two of
them seriously wounded. We do not
know the merits of the controversy be-
tween the mill men and the timbermen,
most of whom we understand belong
to the l. w. w., but from the evidence
on the trial it appears to US there was
wrong doing on all sides.
- One of the most serious wrongs de-
'veloped, it seems to US, was the idea
that /. w. w. men should not be tried
for shooting ''scabs." 1t would be a
sorry day for our land if lawlessness
and crime on the part of any set of
men could not be investigated and fair
iy tried in the courts.
We can heartily rejoice with the
friends and relatives of these men on
their acquittal, and hope that all will
go home thoroughly resolved to respect
the, law and determined to stand by
the courts in the investigation and trial
of all lawlessness that may occur.

we won't split hairs over dates
any more than over ideas.
The fact remains that Social
ism and Communism are very
near allied, and the idea dates
back to the days of Plato and
his communistic teachings. True
Owens ideas were worked over
in 1852 by Maurice, Kingsley,
Ludlow, Marx and others, but
the idea remains the same all
along, and thus far it has been
repudiated by the civilized world
as impractical.
1t has been tried and repudiat-
ed in the United States in several
instances. The only city of i'm
fportance ever controlled by So
cialists in this country was Mil
waukee, and twice within the
last two years that city has re-
pudiated Socialism. On Tuesday
of last week, Emil Seidel, Social
ist candidate, was defeated for
mayor. Socialists ran up the
debt of that city about two mil
lion dollars in a short time and
proved to be a miserable failure,
and the people got heartily sick
and tired of the Socialists ad-
ministration. They have shown
this by putting them out after a
trial, and twice defeating their
candidate when he was offered
for reelection. AS Bro. Jones
remarks. Democrats. Republi-
cans and Bull Moses, in fact all
good people, united to defeat So
cialism. Twas ever thus, and
we believe ever will be.

A bill is to be introduced in the next
session of the legislature which places
convicts under the protection of q
compensation law" by which they
will be allowed compensation for each
days labor, and same turned over to
their families. Ruston Leader.
The legislature will be in ses-
sion in another month, and we
hope to see the above law put
into effect. There is every rea-
son why this law should be upon
the statute books of Louisiana.
1t is an outrage upon civilization
that the wives and children of
convicts should be made to suffer
double punishment for the crimes
of men. We have a concrete
case in Colfax, where a man is
confined on a charge of crime,
and his family has to be cared
for by the charity of the COM
munity to relieve their necessi-
ties. The proposed law is a good
one, and is in line with the hu-
manitarian efforts that are being
made to relieve the suffering of
the families of criminals in all
progressive States.

Socialist Jones to the Front Again.

Socialist Jones comes at us
again this week and insists on
having another say, because we
criticised his political fad as a
vagary. and a freak in the world
of politics. We print his letter.
He would be very poor believer
in Socialism if he could not fill
up the columns of the Chronicle
several times over with his views
of this Utopian idea for the cure
of all the ills of civil, social and
political life. 1t is the fear of
his prolixity and superabundance
of correspondence that caused us
to say we preferred to end a dis
cussion of Socialism in these COL
umns. We do not mind a little
controversy on any subject, but
we have learned by experience
that there is no end to a political
or religious controversy when
once started, and the best plan
is to sit down" on them if we
wish to have the room and time
to consider other things.
However, we never muzzle a
man simply because he differs
with US on any subject. Our
readers will bear us out in the
statement that in all the thirty
seven years we have controlled
these columns we have never
refused to give a man a hearing
and square deal. We simply
require that he shall be reason
ably fair and courteous, and not
consume undue space in our col
umns not more than rs or 100
lines at most. In other words
boil it down. We make this a
rule with our editorials, and sell
dom write as much as a column
on any subject.
