LOUISIANA NEWSPAPERS.
Seven Pelican State Journals Among

which may be roughly described as
a straw vote by mail, which was Ia
ken among newspaper men all over
the United States by the University
1 Of Oregon, the American-Press was
/ recently selected as one of the fiji
/ ty-tWo best country newspapers in
the United States. AS a rule only
weekly newspapers were voted for,
although the gmall-city dailies We're
not barred. The American-Press was
one of perhaps a dozen daily news
/ papers selected; which it esteems as
an additional compliment, as editors
! OF weekly newspapers can exercise a
degree of care, in the preparation of
news and editorial articles, in proof

aration of their weekly issues that
the hurried workers on small city

It is not Of the compliment paid

to speak, however, as much as of

FRET: PORTS
bUIL. .DE:RS OF
COMMERCE
CONGRESS SHOULD GIVE THEM
PREFERENCE IN APPRO-
PRlATiONS.
BY Peter Radford.

This nation is now entering upon
an era of marine development. The
wreckage Of European commerce has
drifted to our shores and the world
war is making unprecedented de-
mands for the products OF farm and
factory In transportation facilities
on land we lead the world but our port
facilities are inadequate, and our flag
is seldom seen in foreign ports If
our government would only divert the
energy we have displayed in conquer
ing the railroads to mastering the
tom would be unknown on the ocean S
highways.
This article will be confined to a
discussion of our ports for the pro-
ducts of the farm must pass over our
wharfs before reaching the water. We
have in this nation 81 ports, Of which
II are on the Atlantic and 10 are on
the Pacific Coast. The Sixty-second
Congress appropriated over $51, ,O00,,
900 for improving cur Rivers and
toll of approximately $50,000,000
annually In wharfage and charges for
which no tangible service is rendered
The latter item should be lifted off
the backs of the farmer of this ma
ton and this can be done by Congress
directing it's appropriations to ports
that are free where vessels can tie up
to wharf and discharge her cargo
free Of any fee or charge.
A free port is progress. 1t takes
out the unnecessary link in the chain
of transactions in commerce which
has for centuries laid a heavy hand
upon commerce. No movement is so
heavily laden with results or will
more widely and equally distribute
it's benefits as that Of free port
and none can be more easily and eff
fectively secured.

LIQUOR FOR PERSONAL USE

GLOBE, Sept. 14.-Liquor can be
introduced into Arizona for personal
use, according to the Interpretation
that was placed by local attorneys on
decision made by Judge w. G.
Shute in the superior court. The
matter remains to be decided by the
supreme court of the state. Judge
Shute's ruling was based on the re-
cent decision of the United States
supreme court in the Adams Express
case in Kentucky.
The decision of the superior court
was given in the case of Sam va
hura, who was accused of introduc-
ing intoxicating liquors into the state
but who was not alleged to have done
so for the purpose of selling or CIV
ing them away. 1t was not shown
that the defendant had introduced
the liquor for any purpose other than
personal use and it was upon this
point that the ruling was made.

DARIUS

The neigh of a horse made Darius
King of Persia, the six contending
powers for the throne agreeing among
themselves that the one whose horse
should neigh first should possess the
kingdom. This ancient method Of
settling disputes among politicians
could be revived with profit today
If our partisan factions and petty pol.
iticians could only settle their dis
putes by the neigh of a horse, the
bark OF a dog or the bray of donkey
It would be a great blessing and would
give our citizens better opportunity
to pursue the yocations of industry
free from political strife.
Let those who pick political plums
by raising rows and who flash swords
dripping in the blood of industry Ill,
derstand that they cannot turn the
public forum into political arena and
by a clash of personal aspirations
still the hammer and stop the plow
and that their quarrels must be settled
in the back alleys Of civilization.

A USELESS COMMISSION.

The corporation commission Of Arl-
zona is the most expensive commits
sion supported by the state, and in
our humble judgment the work ac-
complished by this department Of
state is of no real benefit to the
people. Since it's creation by the
First state legislature it has failed
to reduce a single freight tariff which
the consumer has received any bene-
fit therefrom True, the middleman
has profited from the work of the
commission, but the consumer pays
just as much for the necessities OF
life (and in many instances more)
than he did prior to the commission S
creation
Every month we read in the papers
where some of the commissioners
have attended meetings back east
tention for lower freight rates for Ar
iona. But has anyone noticed any
reduction in these commodities to
the consumer? There is not single
instance where the consumer has re-
ceived any benefit, and the commits
sion is an unnecessary expense to
the state.
If it is the desire of the jobbers,
wholesalers and retailers of the state
that freight rates be reduced let
these people employ their own at
torneys to do the work Under the
present system it resolves in the
consumers paying the expense of Sc
curing freight reductions and not re-
ceiving any benefit from such expen-
diture The commission should be
abolished, and we hope the next
state legislature will put it out of
business

The VITAL PROBLEM Of
AGR|CULT TURE
BY Peter Radford.

There is no escaping the market
problem and the highest development
of agriculture will not be attained
until it is solved, for a market
is as necessary for the producer
as land on which to grow his crop.
Governmental and educational insti.
tutions have spent $180,000,000 in the
United States during the past ten
years for improving soil production
and improving seeds and plants, but
very little attention and less money
has been given to the marketing side
of agriculture.
The problem is a monumental one
and one which will never be solved
until it gets within the grasp of a
gigantic organization where master
minds can concentrate the combined
experience and wisdom of the age
upon it. 1t is a problem which the
farmers, merchants, bankers, editors
and statesmen must unite in solving
The Farmers Union stands for all
there is in farming from the most
scientific methods Of seed selection to
the most systematic and profitable
plans of marketing, but does not be-
lieve in promoting one to the neglect
of the other. We consider the work
of farm demonstrators valuable and
we ask that governmental and com
mercial< agencies seeking to help us,
continue to give us their assistance
and advice, but we believe that their
influence should be extended to the
marketing side of our farm problems
also
We cannot nope to develop manu-
featuring by over-production of the
factory; we cannot build up mercan-
tile enterprises by the merchants load
ing their shelves with surplus goods
and no more can we develop agricul.
ture by Cutting the market with a
surplus of products.

THE LAYMAN'S DUTY

There never was time when
preachers and politicians formed an
unholy alliance that civilization did
not shrek out and Christianity cry
aloud Since the beginning of gov
ernment, politicians have sought to
decoy the ministry into the meshes of
politics and make them carry banners
in political professions. They have
taken the ministry to the mountain
top of power and offered to make them
monarch of all they surveyed, and
while most of them have said, Get
thee behind me Satan" few have
fallen with a crash that has shaken
every pulpit in Christendom.

Pretending to Like Bitter Dose of Medicine

England has pointed out the method by which Ameri-
can Prohbionist they sincere may solve the liquor
problem in the United States.
So concludes an article appearing under the
caption, prohibition, England VS.. America" in the
National Herald, Philadelphia liquor Journal in it's
issue of April T.
What is this method that pleases the National
Herald SO much? First of all Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer Lloyd-George bitterly assailed the liquor
traffic and declared that alcohol was bigger foe to
England than Germany and Austria, and said "Root-
and-branch methods the only way in dealing with
the liquor traffic"
Lord Kitchener, the Secretary of War, agreed
with Lloyd-George in his arragnment of alcohol
King George and his cabinet banshed all intoxicat-
ing liquor from their households, and Immediately
hundred thousand citizens of England follow
ed their example.
Parliament, up to the present time, has proposed
no method whatever of dealing with the problem.
There is no place in the world in the last few
weeks where alcohol has received stronger condem-
nation from public officials or harsher treatment at
the hands of citizens themselves than in England and
this method is pleasing to the National Herald for
once, agree with the National Herald
