The Cleveland Twist Drill Company
And Whisky

Drill Chips, a little magazine put out by the
Cleveland Twist Drill Company, Andrew Eadie, edi-
tor, in the September number p~rophesies a quick exit
for whisky from all industrial plants of any conse-
quence in the United States. The Cleveland Twist
Drill company is perhaps the largest Twist Drill con-
Germ in the United States.
We quote from Drill Chips the following:
AS we see it, liquor must go. Apart from the moral aspect
OF the proposition, economic necessity demands that John
Barleycorn retire from the field for all the time. Industrial
conditions are opposed to whisky, and therefore whisky
is doomed.
Recently we had occasion to investigate this subject
and we were surprised to learn of the great number of large
manufacturers and railroads who prohibit the use of any in
toxicants among their employees. An officer in one of the
largest steel companies recently declared, in a petition to the
county judges, that "the high cost of living is made more
burdensome upon the families of workingmen because an
average OF 20 per cent of the workers wages go to saloons.
At the same time the cost OF steel is increased by an over
head charge for accidents, IS per cent of which are due direct
ly or indirectly to liquor"
MI. Lewis Edwin Thesis, writing in the Outlook, as
serts that the Pennsylvania railroad maintains a small army
of investigators whose duty it is to look into the habits of the
company's employees, numbering some $4,000 men. During
the year 1913 every one of these men was under observation
six times with the purpose in view of finding out whether
liquor was being used. Only I58 men were found who were
violating the companys rule. When a great corporation like
this will go to so such pains and expense to enforce their
demands, it surely looks as though they intended to eliminate
whisky from the ranks of their workers.
Hundreds of other large institutions have put the ban
on liquor. Others are arranging to do SO, and before long
all employers will be forced to similar measures. Safety First
and Effciency-these are the crying needs of the day. And
alcohol must go beause it stands in their path.

Dry Towns.G Give Best Support to
Baseball Clubs

The Issue is indebted to the Ottumwa Qowa)
Courier for the following interesting facts on saloons
and baseball fans:
Marsha1ltown, Sept. I8-At the beginning of the baseball
season the Times Republican predicted tina. the dry towns WOULD
furnish the big attendance at the ball games. The prediction
was based on the we'll established principle that when a COM
munty has its booze money in its own pocket instead of in a
sa1oonkeepers automobile that community has more money to
spend at the ball grounds, at the picture shows, meat shops and
stores. The figures are now in and it appears that Waterloo, a
dry town, stands first in attendance though second in popuIa-
ton, while Marshalltown, infinitely drier than Waterloo. comes
third in attendance while it ranks last of the eight in popula-
ton. Cedar Rapids, first in population and wet, takes second
place in attendance. The four dry towns of Waterloo, Mar
shaltown, Muscatine and Ottumwa, rolled up a total attendance
of I68o72, with a combined population of 7S,245, whereas the four
wet towns of Cedar Rapids, Burlington, Clinton and Keokuk with
967I2 population, sent only 1883 to the ball games this SUM-
mer. Reduced to a per capita comparison the ball attendance
of the dry towns was 2I4 per capita, while for the wet towns
1t was only I42 per capita. Marshantown, the driest of them all,
had the highest per capita attendance of 336. Whereas Bur
lington, wet, was the lowest with 9 per capita. The ball fans
of the town should remember these things when somebody is
paid to promote another saloon petition, if that time should ever
come.

Louisiana Press Opinion.
IMMIGRATION.


Amite Florida Parishes: Just at present
there is a perceptible decrease in immigra-
ton to the United States, owing to the war
in Europe, but the prediction is made that
Immediately following the conflict this coun-
try will witness the greatest influx of immi-
grants that has ever before been observed.
Germany will contribute the largest prorata
of necomers, with Little Italy a close second,
though the latter has not as yet tasted of
the gunpoWder in the wal of the ten ma
tons. With a depleted treasury and with
thousands of homes annihilated owing to
the disastrous war, Germany will send to
the United States thousands of desirable i'm
migrants. T~angipahoa parish, already the
home of hundreds of sturdy Germans, will
be benefited bp the European war, and we
may confidently anticipate the addition of
many families when peace has been de-
clared. These Germans make desirable
citizens, and they could not find a better
place under heaven than Tangipahoa parish,
therefore the latchstring should hang with
in easy grasp of the pilgrims who lost their
in the greatest war in history.

PROGRESSIVE DWINDLES AL
MOST TO NAUGHT.

While the Third District was voting fol
a Bull Moose candidate for Congress, voters
in nearly all of the states, were repudiating
Theodore Roosevelt and his followers. The
decrease in Progressive votes, where the
former president ran strong in 1912, was
not a surprise to the Democrats, but a
thunderbolt to the warnings of the Bull
Moses.
Only ten representatives were sent to
Congress on the Roosevelt ticket, a loss of
nine members. The amount was cut practi-
cally in half.
The Republican gain was a surprise to
the most ardent followers Of that banner; it
was reasonably expected that the Democratic
majority in the lower house would be con-
siderably reduced but it was not thought
that so many Democrats would be defeated
for rejection, throughout the Union. The
Wilsonians will have a majority in Congress
ranging from twenty-five to Twenty-Five.
Two prominent Democratic Governors
were defeated for reelection, those being
Gov. Cox, of Ohio and Gov. Glynn of New
York.
The reduction of the great Democratic
majority in Congress is by no means a sign
Of the defeat of a Democratic presidential
candidate in 1916. The party leaders will
have ample time to re-adjust themselves, as
well as unpopular legislation, and by the
time the next election comes off we will find
that the Democrats are by no means a dead
issue, whether it be Wilson, Underwood or
any one else championing the cause.

POSTOFFICE DEPARTMENT TO
HELP FARMERS.

Postmaster General Burleson is very de.
sirous of extending the facilities of the par
eel post service as rapidly as possible and
has therefore notified postmasters through
out the Union that the Department would
lend all assistance possible to farmers having
produce to sell to city consumers.
1t is the object of the Postohhice Depart
ment to get in touch with the farmers hav-
ing eggs, butter. vegetables and dressed
turkeys, ducks and chickens, by which means
they expect to materially aid the farmers to
sell their produce to prospective city buyers.
The local postmaster has been Instruct
ed to send to the Department the names of
all farmers in the surrounding country hav-
ing anything to sell to people in New Or
leans, Houston and other southern cities.
It is the belief of Postmaster General
Burleson that if the farmers will cooperate
with him within the next few months the
parcel post system will be a money maker,
not only for the Government, but especially
for the farmers, as farm products for which
no ready market can at present be found
would be disposed Of to city residents at
fancy prices and this ready cash, received
each week would greatly aid the Knights of
the soil in building better farms and making
farm life in general more comfortable as
well as desirable.
We would therefore suggest that every
farmer in and around Opelousas having any
thing to sell submit his name to Postmaster
,9ssalla ca that ha on, n1aca +bo Hora.-
nent in touch with him. Many dollars will
brought into this city each week, if the
will cooperate with the postmaster,

people of this city, but to every farmer in
the parish.
There is no use of us going into details.
enumerating the many good qualities of q
creamery; much has been said in the last
few months about creamery propositions,
how farmers could turn milk fat into ready
cash, how the city would be benefited by a
payroll, all of which would greatly aid
financial conditions in this section.
In St. Landry parish, where it is a very
easy matter, as we'll as exceedingly econom-
ical, the raising of cattle is made the ideal
industry. The increase of mich COWS, the
encouraging of the raising of thorough bred
stock, is one of the things which will add to
boost this section into one of the richest and
most fertile in the world.
Foreigners will soon realize the many
advantages this country offers for the rails
ing of cattle and unless our people get busy,
this will be another industry controlled by
strangers. Of course we want strangers
to come to our section of the state; in fact
we offer all sorts of encouragements, but if
we can prove to the sturdy farmers from
the West and north that we are real farm
ers from the word 60 We will never have
any more hard times in st. Landry.
Let every man who takes pride in the
affairs of the parish subscribe to the cream
cry fund and allow Opelousas to erect an
enterprise which will place several hundreds
Of dollars in circulation in the parish each
week. Cooperation is what we need and
with a cooperative creamery Opelousas and
st. Landry will reap a bountiful harvest re-
ward.

COMPARATIVE FARMING.

In this age of cooperation, in which
manufacturing and commercial interests
have attained wonderful development and
success by merging their resources, it is not
to be wondered at thai cooperation has
but inevitably wendell It's way into rural life.
The old methodof individualism is gradually
giving way to the cooperative spirit and the
result is a greatly reduced cost of living and
lessened expense of farming.
Louisiana farmers are leading
the cooperative movement and it is
gradually being extended into every feature
of community life.

MEAT SHORTAGE.

The shortage of meat in recent years
has without doubt been one of the causes
OF the gradual increase of the cost of living
in the United States. Government reports
show that the production of meat in the
United States during the past IA years had
fallen off 3, 1000, 900, 900 pounds and that the
population Of the nation during this time
had increased 20, 900, 900.
Addressing an audience composed of
stock-ralsers from practically every state in
the Union, at the National Dairy Show con-
%ventlon, held in the city of Chicago, re-
Gently, Secretary Houston of the United
States Department of Agriculture declared
the short meat supply to be one of the most
serious problems confronting American agri-
culture. Mr.. Houston approved the plan of
cattle raising on large ranches and declared
that no effort would be spared by the Federal
Government in further increasing production
from this source.
He insisted that the proper solution of
this problem depended on an increased in
terest in livestock raising by farmers and
in a more systematic control and eradication
of hog cholera, cattle tick and tuberculosis.
Experts have shown that Louisiana is
the ideal state in which to raise live stock.
farmers in every section of this
great commonwealth have proven to their
mossback neighbors that there was more
money in marketing their crop through hogs
and cattle than in throwing their corn, hay,
and other feedstuffs on the market,
sacrificing them for n amount Of money
available.
A farmer with hogs and cattle is certain
to get ready cash for his livestock, whenever
he decides to sell, but the farmer with cot
ION, cane or rice has to give his crop for
whatever price the spectators are in a mood
pay.
If St. Landry were to raise more live

THANK MR.. BROUSSARD.

Democracy can thank the Honorable
Robert f. Broussard, our distinguished sen
ator-elect, for the breaking of the 'tSolie
South. No one is to blame more than the
Iberia statesman, who would rather sacri.
flee his party than his hypocritical cousins
down in the Third District.
We have no doubt that the Democracy
OF this state will avenge itself when the
proper time comes, for Bob Broussard will
ne'er sit in the halls of Congress, after
serving his six year term as the junior SEN
ator from this state. Louisiana cares not
any longer to have such office holders as
Mr.. Broussard, because we, in the famous
old creole state, where White Supremacy
towers almost as lofty as religion, will not
stand for such bold a~ffronts, as were Of
fered by this political coward.
Broussard was conceited enough to
know that he was the only man in Louisi-
ana who could check the Bull Moose inva-
sion in the Third District; but it would have
been too dreadful an affair to shatter the
petty political dreams of his brother Edwin
S, Breussard to have Judge Whit Martin
defeated.
The memory of the Democratic voters
Of this state Isl not so short as to forget the
traitorous deeds committed by the silence
OF this one man. who now holds one of the
highest offices within the gift of his people.
It is to be pitied that he has not quite
started on hisaterm Of Office: We would be
delighted to see the election for senator but
q few weeks hence, just to see how this de-
serter of the party would be treated by the
very ones who sent him to the United States
senate.
We are sorry that Henri Gueydan was
defeated: we are grieved that Louisiana
had to break the Solid South" but we are
glad that the people of this state have been
given one grand opportunity to know Bob
Broussard as he has always been-a politi-
cal ielly-fish.

GOOD WAY TO CUT DOWN COTTON
ACREAGE.

Alexandra Town Talk: The Town Talk
has been informed that a prominent planter
in the Cheneyville neighborhood has served
notice on his tenants that he will rent them
land for next years crop on the following
plan: Ii the tenant plants corn, he will take
one-fourth of the corn as rent; if potatoes
are planted, that he will charge them SIS per
acre rent, and if cotton is planted he will re-
quire a payment Of S20per acre. We hope
this plan will be observed by every owner of
land in the cotton section for the coming
year. It is a splendid move, and one that is
calculated to cut down the acreage in a most
and concise way.

stock and less cotton, times would not be so
hard. as are often experienced. Let US turn
a new leaf and on the first Of the year re-
solve to market more meat than anything
else. Then we will all be prosperous.
