Concealed Weapon.

Our able and usually practical
contemporary, The Monroe News
Sta, discusses the evils of pistol
toting" and then suggests the fol-
loving remedy:
$50 in order to lessen the number
of violent deaths and reduce the
number of families bowed down
with grief, we urge the passage OF
a law that will make it a peniten-
tiary offense to carry a weapon
concealed"
Perhaps nothing shows how lit,
tie progress civilization has made
in the matter of criminology than
this primative plan, so popular
among the people, of increasing the
severity of penalties prescribed
for the violation of the crimlna
statutes. Unless we are much al
fault, q number of States in the
South have within recent years
tried the above plan and promptly
abandoned it; and if the Legisla
ture of this state could be induced
to adopt It, the people woulc
shortly demand its repeal.
And the reason is that the law
could not be enforced.
Grand Juries would not find in
dictments, and if they did, petit
iuries would not convict. The
reason is not difficult to understand
The public has tolerated the habi
so long, that in its view term o.
Imprisonment in the penitentiary
wonId he out of all proportion t.
the gravity Of the offense.
What we need are not new ant
more drastic laws but the rigit
and impartial enforcement of thos'
already on the statute bookss
If every man who at present VIC
lates the law could be convincet
with reasonable certainty, that
Jail sentence, would inevitably fol
low the detection OF his offense

The Mexican Situation.

While the War Department con-
tinues preparations for possible
emergencies and is buslly lining
up its warships and coast artillery,
the plans for mediation are for a
formal conference with represen-
tatives Of the different parties to
be held at Niagara Falls Ontario
on May 18th, the Canadian city
being selected because it IS IN a
neutral zone.
1t is not thought that the Uni
ted states will conline itself to a
mere settlement of the Tamplco
incidents that provoked the pres
ent crisis, but would try to bring
about a solution of the whole Mex
| lean problem so that it could rec
ognize a constitutionally estab
lshed government which woulC
restore tranquility in Mexico.

The Congressional Campaign.

Reproduced from The Com
moner:
Next November the people will
elect new House of Representa-
tives and one third of the Senate,
and it is of the highest Importance
that the Democrats should be sue
cessful in this election. When the
new Congress conyenes the Presi.
dent will have completed the first
half of his term, and it would be a
severe disappointment to him to
have to work with a Republican
Congress during the second half.
Defeat for the party would not
only prevent the enactment of re-
medal measures, but it would
raise a presumption against the
administration and greatly weaken
the party for the presidential cam
paign in 1915. 1t behooves every
Democrat, therefore, to bestir
himself and contribute his mite
toward the winning of victory.
How can it be done9 First, by
the selection of good Democrats
as candidates. Records should be
scrutinized and the tendencies of
aspirants inquired into. A dis
tinction should be drawn between
the man who does right under
comDulsion and the man who does
right because he wants to. The
man who has to be coerced into
the doing of that which is right is
an uncertain quantity at best and
subtracts from the energy of the
party, because a part of the energy
of those who are reliable has to he
employed in persuasion of those
who would otherwise go astray.
No man has any claim upon a
public office except on the theory
that he can do better than any one
else the work that the people want
done, and something more than
ability is required to do the peo-
pies work.
In this land, where We are APP
preaching more and more toward
universal education, it is not likely
that a public man will lack intelli-
gence. 1t is much more diff ult
to determine mans fundamental
bias than it is to measure his in

Eighty-four big wagon loads OF
trash was hauled to the dumping
grounds bv wagons donated, and
about four times as much was
hauled away by private citizens.
Committee met with Model

to bring the Model School Stu

m. Children of each grade will
be under the direction of a teacher
and ladies of the CITY and expected
to use their rakes on the river
bank in front of town and neutral
grounds.
The report that children we're to
clean up back yards was entirely
erroneous. We want the public
to know that the children were
only expected to clean up the
small trash along the river bank
and neutral ground, and to give
the streets clean and orderly APP
pearance. 1t is not the labor we
want, but the example which we
hope would inspire a civic pride
in every heart.
Mayor has been appealed TO for
immediate cleaning and draining
of all town bitches with oil and
lime, as we found them in a most
| unsanitary condition. Mr.. Kile
assures US that there are no funds
in City Treasury. This is a mat
ter everyone should be interested
in and we hope the City officials
will find some way to finance the
cleaning and draining of said ditch
es as this is too serious a condi-
ton to leave to stand.
We wish to thank the public for
their many courtesies, and espe-
cially the Mayor. DIR Bath Cit.

The greatest encouragement has
been given to The Sanitation Com
mittee by the hearty cooperation
and support of the citizens in gen.
eral who are using every effort to
assist in the cleaning up of Nat
chitoches, and private and public
premises have been cleaned and
trash hauled away by the wagons
that were generously provided for
the purpose. Not section of the
town has been overlooked and the
only complaint that the Com
mittee has to make and it is one to
which their attention has been
called from every section, is the
condition of the town ditch that is
in a very bad condition, a condi-
tion that should and must receive
immediate attention. If no avail
able funds are on hand for the
purpose as the Committee has
been advised by the authorities.
then it is up to the Commissioners
to provide for same in some way,
as the general health of the COM
munity is of more vital impor-
lance than any thing else, espe-
cially at this season, and its health
is menanced by the present condi.
ton of the ditch.
The trite old stitch in tlme''
theory must not be disregarded
and it behooves the Street Com
missioner to get his needle and
thread ready and take good long

tnllectual ability. "As a man

the heart needs to be examined
into more than the head.
Is the man in sympathy with
the mass of the people who de-
mand protection of their rights
Or is he in sympathy with the few
who clamor for privilege! And,
if in sympathy with the people, is
he incorruptible? Is he proof
against temptations-the powerful
temptations-that one has to resist

Has he the moral courage to stand

An Attractive Summer School.

There is no reason why summer
school work should not be made attrac-
tive. Some of the means of doing this
are as follows: Hold but one session
per day. working during the cool hours
and closing at 100 p NJ, offer courses
in tennis, hockey aud vollev ball in the
late afternoon; teach the students
games and plays for them to use when
they go back to their schools; have
stereopticon lectures and musical enter
tainments with the photograph; offer
motion picture entertainments on Sat
urday evenings. teach the ladies TO
swim. and provide suitable lake for
the men to use daily: have a good ia
BILE, furnish pure water, and protect
the bed rooms against mosquitoes by
screens; and above all hold the expenses
down. All these things the Snate Nor
NAL School at Natchitoches is providing
for It's 1914 summer school students.

Special to the Enterprise
Dear Editor:
While time goes on, we as a
people in tits great nation of ours
nsver stop to think that our ser
vice to our neighbor to our coun-
try aud TO this generation is one
of the most important works of
this age.
In nay mind the most blessed of
human endeayors is Service, the
service that educates and builds; it
makes this old world better and
happier place in which to 1--we
and work. Service is the spirit of
the hour. Itblesses him that gives
and to those who receive; 1t is the
brotherhood OF man in business;
It is a helping hand always extend
ed unselfishly; It is bread cast
upon the waters; 1t is a way of
helping ourselves by helping each
other. The best that can be said
of any man is this; He served
others that they might better
serve themselves.
The Farmers Cooperative Dem
onstration Work with all that be-
longs to it, is endeavoring to out
line the Agriculture Work in the
Agricultural sections of this Uni
ted States in the upbuilding of a
larger. happier, and more pros
porous life for our people. This
is my humble judgement is the
most vital sub:e now holding the
public minds of the nation. Could
