UNCLE SAM NEEDS MORE
REVENU

:
AS a result Of decreased tariff rates
on dutiable imports, enlargement Of
the free list and falling off Of the
import trade of the country by reason
OF the outbreak Of war in Europe
the United States government is con
fronting the Imminent prospect of a
deficit Of about Sl00,000,OOO in its an

Means TO make up this shortage
must pc found, and 1t is considered
probable that increased taxes on to-

An increase OF the income tax has

Best Written Advertisement in 1871

One of the most important pre-
miums offered in the catalog of the
South Louisiana Fair this year was

ment appearing in the publication.
premium was being offered, but the
contest was none the less interest
ing.
The catalog was submitted to the
Chambers Advertising Agency of New
| Orleans, with the request that they
act as judge, and in awarding the
premium to the Union Seed and
Fertilizer Company they offer the
following comments:
"Of course, there is not vast
amount of difference between any
of these ads, but it seems to us the
Union Seed and Fertilizer people
have prepared an ad that is unusual
II good in its layout and general de-
sign, and the arrangement of the
head line and sub-headings is such
that it tells the story at a glance.
The use of their trade mark is also
something which distinguishes this
ad from most of the others, and is
an excellent design for the purpose.
Also, the fact that they make an Of
fer of a watch fob and booklet to be
mailed On request makes this ad a
business-like proposition.
when you issue next years cata-
log, we would suggest that you make
a set of rules stating under what
conditions the prize will be given.
We advise stating that the typo
graphical arrangement, head lines,
illustrations and originality will be
important factors in determining the
best ads. In other words, tell the
people the points that will govern
the award, SO they will take a real
interest in writing their advertise
ments and in this way they will
make their advertising productive
and greatly increase the attractive
ness and worth of your catalog as an
advertising medium
1t is the intention Of the fair as
ISOLATION to make this premium quite
a feature next year, and to that |
end offer most substantial cash
premium.

"Ain't No Such Place"

The Morgan City Outlook, one o.
several third district newspapers
that have cast their political fortunes
with the Progressive party, says:
1t is not Republican policies that
Louisiana has stood in fear of; it is
the old Republican organization with
its traditions, its animosities and its
affiliations" And Editor Pickles adds
The Outlook has become convinced
that the only proper course is to sup
port straight Progressive ticket,
from top to bottom .
In view of these declarations and
the further fact that there "ain't no
such place." there seems to be little
relevancy or logic in the side-sWipe
of the st. Helena Echo that Brother
Pickles is certainly in a pickle, and
should move his Wigwam over into
the regular old Negro Republican
camp where he properly belongs"
Owing to the failure of the candi-
dates of the Republican party to poll
five per cent of the total popular
vote of the state in the last election,
that political organization has passed
out of tangible existence, and hasn't |
as much as a tent left, much less a /
camp. Furthermore, the Louisiana
Progressives are forming a strictly
white mans party and won't have
anything to do with negro Republi-
cans, negro Democrats or any other
kind Of negroes. Practically every
body else recognizes the fact that the
negro has ceased to be a political
actor in the south generally and in
louisiana particularly. and the es-
eemed st. Helena Echo might as |
veil join the procession and quit !
locking all by itself on this PROPOSE {

Y REMEDY OF LAST RESORT.

The following Well-considered edi-
torial from the Weekly Iberian of
Aug. 70 discusses in a forcibIe and
convincing manner a subject of much
Importance to all residents of munic-
| qualities under the commission form
| OF government, and SO clearly ex-
| presses our views on the matter in
question that we reproduce it with
our full Endorsement and commend
| it to the careful consideration of
every thinking voter.
The conduct of a recall campaign
| is a serious and disturbing under
taking. 1t should be resorted to on
" when conditions become intoler-
able to the taxpayers or the will of
the people is being flagrantly flouted
or ignored. The recall should never
be made use of for mere political
ends or aims. It is a potent and
powerful weapon, designed for defen-
slFe purposes only-never to be en-
ployed as an expression of political
disappointment. or private pique.
Those who may start a movement
Of this character should be well
persuaded that their course is.
thoroughly warranted in the prem
ises; their charges should be well
founded and carefully weighed from
every angle; and they should be
guided by the lofty purpose-without
self lnterest-of meaning the great
est good Of the whole community.
The preparatory steps for such
an action should be well advised by
competent counsel and every prereq-
uisite formality, imposed by the
law, should be carefully considered
and closely complied with. A failure
will accomplish no good, bring no re-
lief from the conditions complained |
Of, and is very liable to generate
much iIl-Will and bitterness"

nents to the state constitution. to
