and other millions of dollars worth of
contracts for othere materials used in
the increasing of the Army and Navy.
On7February 2, 1915, one of Senator
divers newspapers editorially asked !:
"But what is Nmeant by that re-
sounding mouthful disarmament by
the United States?' Isn't the fact that
the United States is pretty well dis
armed as matters stand?' There
isn't much sense in talking of the
United States disarming before it is
armed"
Get Ready to Pay in Earnest From
Now On.
Two billion dollars have been col
lected in 10 years from the men, wo-
men and children of our Nation for
militarism, sum sufficient to dig the
Panama Canal, pay off the national
debt, with enough left to defray for
one whole year the entire expenses of
all the churches, including foreign mis-
sions, all the free schools, colleges and
universities in America.
And the. end is not yet. The war
trafickers have not finished reaping
their harvest; they are just getting in
good trim to make US pay the cost of
militarism in real earnest. American
people, listen to this little colloquy
which occurred recently at one of the
hearings of the Naval Affairs Commit
tee between Representative Finly
Gray, of Indiana, and Admiral Vree-
land, a big Navy booster:
'Mr. CRAY wish to inquire of the
admiral if it is not the policy of other
Governments to increase their navies
with all the other leading powers.
admiral Vreeland-It is, sir.
"Mr. Gray-What would be the ad-
vantage to us or any other power if
the navies were increased equally by
all the nations of the world? Would
there be any advantage to us or to
any other power?
Admiral Vreeland-Not if you mean
in the same ratio.
"Mr. Gray-Would not the same
grounds exist after an increase for a
further increase?
Admiral Vreeland-It would seem
so.
"Mr. Gray-There would be no ad-
vantage gained by any nation, then.
How long could that be maintained,
that even increase, and what advan-
tage would it be to any nation?
admiral Vreeland-If it continues
to increase, the poorer nation will
eventually exhaust itself, and then the
other nations, the United States in
cluded will have free hand-I mean
to be free to build in accordance with
changed conditions.
"Mr. Gray-Then it is only ques-
ton of the limit of taxation?
Admiral Vreeland-Yes, sir"
In other words, the only thing that
the international war trust has to fear
on the score of reduction of profits is
the limit of the ability of men, women
and children to keep on paying the
ever and ever increasing per capita
appropriation tax in the form of
higher prices for foodstuffs and wear
ing apparel. This is certainly bright
prospect for the Armor, Powder, Bat
tleship and Ammunition Trusts. But
for the taxpayers the prospects are!
not so bright.

Many New Iberia Readers Have
Heard It and Profited Thereby,

"Good news travels fast and
the bad back sufferers in this vi.
entity are glad to learn where re-
lief may be found. Many a lame,
weak and aching back is bad no

says: "One of my family suffer-
ed from backache and pain across

quired only part of a box of

There has been no return of back
ache and the patient has been in
better health"

YOUR BANK ACCOUNT.

Have you a little money in the
bank? If not, why not? We
will assume in the first place that
you haven't. Do you know that
you are depriving yourself Of a
feeling. Of security that nothing
else in the world equals? The
working man with little bank
account, say, just enough to tide
him over for a month or two ism t
, afraid of sickness or non-employ-
! ment. He is free man, and can
look his employer in the face
without the fear that without the
favor of that employer or that
friend, he would be reduced to
, desperate straits to make ends
meet. The bank account is the
breeder Of self-confdence, Of eff
ficiency, of happiness. Rich men
in their palaces, their yachts and
automobiles are no freer, no more
independent, than the man with
the bank account. Every great
economist bases his system of econ
omy On the fundamental fact that
it is not what is made that is the
foundation of fortunes, but what
is saved. A man has earned in
years time, just what he has
at the end of the year. The rest
has gone for expense whether for
necessities or luxuries. The net
savings of the year are the years
sole earnings. The bank account,
however small, has a peculiar way
of making a man of it's owner. It's
pretty hard to stand up straight
and defy the world with nothing
to back up your bluff but two or
three meals ahead. It is a ten
to one bet that the man who is
penniless and talks about the
great things he can do is bob
tailed flusher. Money may be the
character and golden happiness
Or root Of all evil. Certainly it ;e
root of solid independence of
even though you have a very
small amount of it.-Vindicator.

ton to the white house and dis
cussed it in cheerful vein with his
callers, who included Chief JUS
tice White, Secretary McAdoo
and Senator Tillman of South
Carolina. Everywhere in admin.
istration circles there was visible
relaxation Of the tension which
had existed ever since the Lusi-
tania tragedy though lessened by
the earlier assurances Of Count
Won Bernstorff and advices from
ambassador Gerard as to the at
titude Of officials in Berlin. The
next step, it is said authoritative
ly, will be a formal communica-
ton from the German government
disavowing the destruction of the
Arabic and rendering regret and
reparation for American lives lost
in the disaster if the attack was
made by German submarine.
Even if the submarine which tor
pedoed the liner subsequently was
sunk by British man-of-war, as
has been suggested both from Ber-
lin and London, the Berlin for
eign office is expected to send it's
disavowal as soon as a reasonable
time has passed without a report
from it's commander.

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT.

The fight in New York State
in favor of the adjustment OF
capital punishment has failed
but if the people ratify an article
which has .unt been agreed to-
juries in the State thereafter will
have the right to say whether a
verdict Of guilty in a murder case
shall carry death or life imprison-
ment
Louisiana long has had such a
law and so have twenty-seven
other States; but, under the New
York statute, the jury now has no
control over the punishment to be
inflicted when it returns a YER
diet of murder in the first degree
Here in Louisiana occasional eX-
cess of tenderness by pardoning
boards and latterly the operation
Of good behavior and parole laws
have had tendency to make life
imprisonment nominal only. But
the New York convention is
guarding against a similar condi-
ton in the State by providing
wherever an accused is sentenced
to life Imprisonment he shall only
be committed on legal proof of his
innocence.
Seven States have abolished the
capital penalty and it should be
idle to deny a growing sentiment
against it in others. That senti-
ment gains recruits whenever
there is a conviction on circum-
stantial evidence where opinion is
more or less divided on the actual
guilt or innocence of an accused.
But additions to the seven are
likely to be made slowly. It is
difficult to convince people that
capital punishment is not a de-
terrent Of capital crimes. 1t is
more difficult to convince them
that anything less than the death
penalty would fit some crimes
that happen in their midst.-New
Orleans States. .,..

A THOUGHT FOR THE DAY


The constant thought of every
patriotic man should now be for
the country-its peace, it's order,
its just and temperate judgment
in the face Of perplexing Difficult
ties. Its dignity and it's strength
alike will appear, not only in the
revival of its business despite OBJ
normal conditions but also in it's
power to think, to propose and to
act with patience, with disinter-
ested fairness and without excite
ment, in a spirit Of friendness and
enlightenment, which will firmly
establish its influence throughout
the world.-Woodrow Wilson.

There are heroes and heorines
in every day life that the world
seldom hear of. Just stop and
think for moment Of the many
men and women who assisted in
saving the lives of their fellow
man in the late storm that visited
this southland. Heroes are gen
orally worshipped by the blare
OF trumpets, brass bands. parades.
etc. There are thousands of ev-
cry day heroes, in the quiet of
every day life, that their only
reward is the. fact of knowing in
their own mind of having done
duty. The poor mother who tolls
day and night, and spends MANY
an hour in the qriet hour Of night
nursing sick child, and the wi
dow who takes in washing and
sewing for a living that her chill
dren might live is hero greater
than any general that ever won
battle. All honor and glory to
the man or woman who performs
a deed that none but the good
lord is aware of.-Vinton Boos-

HARDING'S VIEWS AND COT

Birmingham, Ala, Sept. L
The delegates appointed at the
recent Galveston conference OF
cotton states bankers conferred at
length here today with W. 7. &.
Harding, of the Federal Reserve
Board, on the cotton situation. 1t
was found that Mr.. Harding s
views fere thoroughly in accord
with the resolutions adopted at
Galveston. A statement was is
sued by the bankers tonight which
concluded as follows:
"The delegation appointed at
the recent conference of cotton
states bankers keld at Galveston

composed of a representative
from each of the Southern States
Bankers Associations, and APP
pointed for the purpose of con-
ferring with Hon. W. p. G. Hard

conference with MIR. Harding at
Birmingham, Ala; and after a
full consideration and discussion
Of the matter Of cooperation De-
tween Southern bankers and cot
ton producers, the resolutions
adopted at the Galveston confer
ence are heartily ratified and APP
proved.
cit is a matter of much graft
fication to the delegation to find
that these resolutions are not only
in accord with the views of Mr..
Harding, a member of the Fede-
raj Reserve Board and a recOg-
nized authority upon the produc-
ton and marketing of cotton, but
that they have met with such gen. !
eral approval throughout the !
country. The Federal Reserve
Board and those entrusted with
the management of the federal re-
serve banks are working in harm
ony with the principles contained
in the plan for the gradual mar
xeting Of cotton, and we earnest
y bespeak therefor their further
cooperation and encouragement.
cit is the further sense of the
delegation that it is right and
proper for Southern bankers to
accord special consideration to
oans made to farmers based on
insured, warehoused cotton and !
,ther staple products, and to Of
er on such loans the lowest inter- 8
st rates consistent with sound
BUSINESS policy. 1t is not, how

ense Of this delegation that bet

The House of Representatives
easily passed the much-amended
Sunberry constitutional bill short
~ after noon Tuesday by a vote OF
81 to %.

get is members at large, which

put up the fight that it is generally
supposed they would, many claim
ing that bad management on the
part of the leaders against the con-

not thought that the Senate will
adopt the bill, as it will come from

large outt.
