The Injured Bystander.

In the astounding old world conflict
America is the severely injured inno-
cent bystander, and from a natural de-
sire not to be injured any more, as
well as from motives of friendship and
humanity, we wish to see a speedy end
to the hostilities.
Mr.. Clark said Americans had both
an altrustic and selfish reason for
wanting peace.
I'VE are all kin to somebody over
there" he said, "and our hearts go out
to our kindred in their sore distress
This applies to us all, whether our
ancestors came over three hundred
years ago. as mine did, or at a later
date. 1t applies with peculiar force to
our ten million citizens who were born
in the countries now in battle array.
Who started the conflict no one seems
to know. What it Is about appears
equally obscure. No matter who got
it up. no matter what it is about, we
fondly hope and fervently pray for it's
early conclusion, not only for the sake
of humanity and civilization, but for
the sake of our own prosperity and
happiness"

Is International Creed.

That is the sum and substance of
our international creed, to which we
have adhered without the shadow of
turning. A wiser or a .nobler creed no
nation ever had. Its latest exposition
Is found in the terse. luminous. en-
phatic, opportune neutrality message
OF President Woodrow Wilson, proc
lamation which all good and sensible
citizens of whatever persuasion, po-
litical or religious, uphold and applaud.
Amerfcans are a peace-loving peo-
pie We believe in John Milton's fine
saying: Peace hath her victories no
less renowned than war;
President Wilson expressed with
great delicacy and felicity the senti-
ments of all true Americans when he
rendered his kindly offices to the bel
hgerent powers in order to stop the
titanic struggle across the sea. For
tunate in his coign of vantage, happy
IN the confidence of a powerful people.
let us hope that he will succeed in his
ph1lanthropic endeavor, and that upon
him will rest the blessing in the SER

DEATH OF GEN. POLIGNAC,

Camil'usJ J. Polignac, who died in Paris,
France, the latter part Of last November,
was, perhaps the last surviving major
general in the Confederate Army. He
was born in France, February 6, 1882, and
was prince from an exceedingly distin-
guished French family and an officer in
the French Army, but resigned his COM
mission and offered his services to the
Southern Confederacy. He entered the
service as captain; was appointed brigader
general January 10, 1868, and promoted
major general June 10, 1854, to rank from
April 8, 1864. He served in the Trans
\ Mississippi Department and was in the
battle of Mansfield. At the time of the
Isurrender, Gen. Polignac and two others
(Major j. G. Moncure of Shreveport, we
believe, being one of the number) from
the Confederacy were in France in an effort
to have Napoleon III lend his aid to the
Confederate cause. The survivors of the
Marks Guards, of this parish, who served
in the Twenty eight Louisiana Regiment
under Gen. Polignac, remember him wei
as loyal soldier and gallant officer.

As to the enforcement of Law.

We hear so much talk nowadays about
the impossibility of enforcing laws against
LIQUOR selling that the following from the
Abbeville Meridional is quite pertinent.
To the three elements, the court, the dis
trict attorney and the grand jury, men,
toned by Editor Edwards, the American
Press would add fourth-the determina-
ton of respectable and law abiding people
that the law shall not be bouted and defied.
For the first year after Calcasieu parish
voted out the saloons, the enforcement of
the law against the illegal sale of liquor
was perfect. 1t was only after people who
should have continued to uphold the law
began to wink at it's violation that the Off
GERS found trouble in procuring its ob5er-
vance.
Editor Edwards comments as follows:
We don't quite agree with you, Bro.
Turner. We had prohibition here in YER
million few years ago and it was the kind
that prohibited, and don't you forget it,
Why?
Because we had series of grand juries
that were honest and loyal to their solemn
oaths, who did not hesitate to indict a man
if he had violated the law. We were also
fortunate in having district attorney who
played no favorites and who had the cour-
age to prosecute all offenders fright up to
the handle'' and we had a district judge
who had the nerve, when they were con-
victed, to give the guilty dangerously near
call there was in the book" in the way Of
a sentence And he never had to repeat
the dose.
This talk about not being able to enforce
the law against blind tigers and bootleg
cling is the veriest nonsense. Ii it is true
it is an open admission that the people of
the locality are lawless and do not want to
obey the laws of their country; or, that
the officers we have named, the grand
jurors, the district attorney and district
Judge are towards and apologists for
crime. If these three do their plain and
sworn duty any law can be enforced But
if any one of them is recreant no law can
be enforced, and no crime, from arson,
embezzlement, murder and theft clear
down the line to the end, can never be
punished. Lake Charles american
Press.
In our opinion, the officers of the law
throughout the State can be depended upon
to do their duty, but in the faithful dis
charge of their duty they should have the
assurance of the determination of re.
spectacle and law abiding people that the
law shall not be bouted and defied." As
a general thing, when the law is defied
public sentiment is responsible for the VIC
; lation. Make no mistake aboutit. Sooner
or later an outraged people will cease t(
temporize with the "blind tiger" and al
other wilful violators of the law, and they
will get what is coming to them fright VI
to the handle.' Then prohibition will pro
, hibit, and all violations of the law will b.
less frequent.

FROM OUR STATE EXCHANGES.

Vermilion News: Only three saloons
have taken licenses for the present year.
The others have closed.
New Orleans States: The more the
great American public sees and hears the
Hon. Richly Hobson the more it is con-
WINGED that he is a national nuisance.
New Orleans Picayune: The purchase
by wealthy Northern woman of a picture
by Titan, at a cost of 100000, leads the
Detroit Free Press to remark that she
wasted the money. At any rate, it was
better spent for picture than for French
Count or an Italian Duke.
Shreveport Caucasian: The report of
Strube Mcconnell, building inspector, for
the year 1913 is creditable. During the
year permits issued for buildings aggre-
gated S698,07O, of which about one-half
was applied to residences. The expendi-
lures for buildings in the past three years
is 50 ,O34 ,349, of which 81 1886, 229 is repre-
scented by permits for residences issued
since December 81, 1911. The city's growth
is steady and substantial.
Ponchatoua Democrat: A newspaper
must be more than chronicler of events;
it must be more than dispenser of news
1t must stand for all that is best in society
in business, in government. There is nc
field, save the ministry, that offers so great
range for good and which is resplendent
with such inexhaustible opportunities fol
the betterment of mankind, if efforts are
directed in the right direction, than that Of
the newspaper. No newspaper can live long
which is born to serve some special inter
est, whether commercially or politically.
New Orleans Times Democrat: Within
the next few weeks the work will be begun
of draining the last city swamp. This car

promises a good return for the property

around New Orleans remained untouched
for nearly two centuries. The great de
velopment of recent years in drainag
lscience, in the construction of canals
bitches, etc., due in part to the work a
Panama and the Improvement in pumping
machinery, have rendered easily possibl
what was out of the question few year
ago-the abolition of all swamps and we

has expedited the work of reclamation an

and we are soon to see the last swamp dis
appear and the land brought into use.

A Handicap to Prosperity.

In the course of some editorial refer
ences to the Georgia Corn Show and the
Boys Corn Club movement the Atlanta
Journal says:
ut is conservatively reckoned that last
year the people of Georgia spent more
than one hundred and seventy-two million
dollars in buying from other States and
sections such necessaries as corn, oats
and meat which could be produced easily
and cheaply at home. The State lacked
over thirty seven million dollars of max
ing enough money from its cotton crop to
pay for its imported food supplies. So
long as this condition continues, Georgia
cannot attain her due measure of prosper
ity and growth. Not only will her farmers
be handicapped but her industries also will
fall short of what they could otherwise be-
come and the pace of all enterprises will
be hobbled.

SOULS AT TEN CENTS A GLASS.

The greatest shame that mars the glory
of the United States to-day is the liquor
business. Our posterity in the years to
come will wonder that their ancestry had
endured such an infamy so long. The
Government of China is trying to destroy
the opium traffic that has for so many
years afflicted their country, but we, who
are professedy Christian nation, are in
the liquor business and for a moneyed
consideration license men who are willing
to bear the odium to debauch and impov-
erish and ruin our own people? To Ideal
oui," as some one has said, elimination
by the drink and send souls to hell at ten
cents glass" God pity and forgive US
and open our eyes to the shame and infamy
of it all, and hasten the day when the
whisky devil shall be forever driven from
all the borders of our land!
