Good "opportunism."

If Mr.. Barrett is an Copper.
tunist,," as the psychologists Sc
,persistently charge him with be-
ing, surely any fairminded. de-
cent, respectable man, woman or
child would rather cast their lot
with a man who cast his oppor-
tunity with purity. chastity and
righteousness. instead of casting
it with boozeologists, bossism
and ringism. Can we afford to
debauch our State. our homes
and our loved ones, simply to
satisfy the greed of a hungry Of
flee seeker who would have US
believe that personal liberty GER
inmates in every country where
booze is dished out. Sons of Lou
isiana, beware of such rot, for
rot it is. Delhi (Richland par

On the stump, Col. Pleasant
made charges against Mr.. Bar
ret that practically amounted to
an impeachment of his moral
convictions. Irrefutable evidence
was presented in contravention
of these charges. Colonel Pleas
ant did not attempt to challenge
the proof, but to date he has not
withdrawn his charges. He has
permitted them to stand, has, by
his silence, encouraged their cir
culation in the Pleasant press,
and yet he knows absolutely that
they are greundless. A great
many of Mr.. Barret's close friends
think he would be justified in de-
nouncing Colonel Pleasant as a
common falsifier from every
stump in the State. Shreveport

DIED..

JONES--At the residence of his
grandparents at Bentley. La, on No
vember 6, 1915, Everett, infant son of
Mr.. and Mrs. John Jones, departed this
life. All immediate members of the
family were present at the bedside ex-
cept Prof. Mike Bardwell, of Athens.
La, and Mr.. James Bardwell, of Lake
Charles, La.
Little Everett was the pride of our
home, the idol of our hearts. Oh, how
hard to fold those lovely hands and say
goodbye to the beautiful features of
our darling! tits hard for us to un-
derstand just why we should have to
give him up at the dawn of his beauti-
full life. How sad the home will be with
out our darling. Our lives are en-
shrouded in darkness. The light has
gone out from our home. We are
made to exclaim, Savior why didst
thou affiict us? Why didst take our
little one? May our hearts be more
submissive and say thy will ON earth
be done. Two FRIENDS.

those who will not see. For ev-
cry drunken boy in the town of
Colfax the city of New Orleans
can furnish q thousand boys and
girls, debauched and ruined for
time and eternity, by the saloons
/ of that city.
I'm our knowledge and expert
ence with New Orleans and other
cities running over a period of
sixty years, we are forced to the
conviction that nine out of ten
saloon keepers are lost to the die
tates of honor and decency. and
only the fear of the law restraints
them from going to almost any
excess in their greed for money.
The States we'll says that those
who served the liquor to boys de-
serve a term in the ball-and-chain
gang. We go a step further and
say that those who serve liquor
to men, women or children de-
serve to be put in the chain gang.
and we should have a law to put
them there. The inebriates of
the country are weaker minded
than most children. and they
should be protected by the strong
arm of the law.

The Congressional Unit Bugaboo.

A"S So"Bi eSsiouai Ouht nugdDOO-
The. anti-prohibitionists and
latter day local option" advo-
Gates attempt to make a big bug
aboo out of the Congressional
Unit" proposition. They urge
that if the question of prohibi-
ton is submitted in a Congress
sional district, the submission of
the proposition if defeated will
place dry parishes in the wet
column. This all bosh. The
prohibitionists of Louisiana in
tend to hold all they have and are
not going to be caught in any
such absurdity.A They propose
that a law be enacted by the gen.
eral assembly that would simply
state that when a congressional
district voted wet" on the ques-
ton of saloons, such election
should not affect the status of
the various parishes as they are
at present. There is no proba-
bility of dry" territory being
sacrificed in any such election.

Oil Reported by Nantachi Oil & Gas

The Nantachi Oil & Gas Company
encountered strong showing Of oil in
their well Wednesday evening at a
depth of 243l feet. After two hours
careful drilling Thursday morning oil
appeared on the surface. Drilling op-
erations were stopped Immediately and
j. F. VanCleave, field expert, was
communicated with and reported at the
well Friday morning. Up to the time
OF going to press Friday evening we
had no definite information from the
well. but the president, Mr.. ]. A. Will
liams, informs US that Mr.. vanCleave
pronounced the oil of a good quality.
1t will be several days before definite
conclusion can be reached, but the log
OF the well and all Indications are of
the best kind, and the company is ex-
pecting good well within the next
few days.

Who Struck Billy Patterson,

Who injected the prohibition
question into the campaign? II
we remember right, our old
friend. j. Y. Sanders, rented q
hall in Baton Rouge and deliver
ed a speech on that subject in
which he most frightfully ar
raigned New Orleans and the
whisky ring, and he there and
then declared that the State
should rule whisky instead of
being ruled by whisky" And
along about>that time the decent
people of the State were having
their intelligence insulted by a
little sheet called Facts" being
stuck under their nose at every
corner, kicking before it was
spurred and propagating tn e
damnable doctrine that whisky
and prosperity go hand in hand.
The Anti-Saloon League of the
State selected that stalwart Dem
ocrat and gentleman, Thomas C.
Barrett, to lead crusade against
this monster evil, and he needed
the call, declaring that he favor
ed prohibition, which is the SEN
tlment of fifty-four parishes of
the State. Mr.. Pleasant answer
ed that he was for local option, !,
which represents the sentiment
OF New Orleans and about four
country parishes. Who is the
opportunist?-St. Helena Echo.

A Poor Argument Against Prohibition

A Poor Argument Against Prohibition.
The New Orleans States copies
the article from the Chronicle of
last week, condemning the repro
bates that sold liquor to the boys
who got drunk in Colfax two
weeks ago. 1t then takes the in
cident as a text to preach against
prohibition, and, under the head
ing Spare Us This. puts up the
specious plea that New Orleans
be spared from prohibition.
1t says: This is, of course, a
shameful condition of affairs and
we sympathize with The Chron-
icle in its Indignation. Those
who served the liquor to these
boys deserve a term in the ball
and-chain gang. But it lis just
such shocking incidents as this
which confirm us in our Judgment
that it would be little short of a
crime to infiict prohibition on this
city of 400. 600 people, with a
so cosmopolitan. I"
