GIVE YOUR NAME FOR PEACE.
CONTINUED from page two.)

people seems at hand. The workers for
Justice between nations may we'll be
Mortified, but they need not feel dis
couraged. The cumulative disasters
following in the wake of the armies,
the futility of military theories, the
senselessness of it all, are SO apparent
that the constructive upbuilders Of civil
lization may well believe that they are
soon to receive new hearing before
the bar Of humanity. Let us Of Amer
lea, remembering all that is best and
noblest in our traditions, do everything
in our power to carry forward the
banner of the new international right
eousness. We repeat, our responsibility
and our opportunity are at hand.
Therefore,we urge upon peace-loving
people the country over, the impor-
lance OF Immediately discussing among
themselves this terrible situation and
uniting with US in continued efforts on
each succeeding day until world peace
is restored. Our propaganda has been
making steady gains. More men and
women are opposed to war among civil
LIED nations than ever before. It's
utility, &C compared with arbitration,
as means of securing equitable OF
permanent settlements is recognized.
Its horrors are more widely understood
than in any previous age. Never have
prominent men throughout civilization
been so banded together to do away
with the curse and shame of war among
civilized communities.
There are no dues or fees of any
kind to pay in this society.
This is the largest peace movement
in the United States to-day but we do
not confine our activities to this cause
alone. We stand for the best there is
in citizenship and lend ourselves to any
movement that is unquestionably for
the good of the community at large.
Send in your name to the

We must again remind the public
that The True Democrat property is
posted against persons passing across
the rear of the premises. 1t Is a tempta-
ton to make a short cut from the
power plant in this way, but is very
distasteful to us, as absolute privacy
Is desired. No one has right to do
this any. more than they would, for
example, to cut across M. & E. VOLTS

in order to save steps in reaching the

a definite, MISUNDERSTOOD purpose,
and posting is even more definite and

plans proposed will materialize. 1t is
high time that st. Francisville, as a
town, reached out for something more
intellectual and superior than has been
seen here in some time When town

same lyceum course as the Louisiana

be somewhat ashamed of itself.

Miss Fannie Lintot Williams has
favored us with an invitation to the
t high school commencement, as have
also Miss Anna May Connell and Jas
L. Stirling. We feel especially tender
to the class of 10, as this is the first
class in years that has given The True
Democrat it's printing. The buy-at
home idea did not appeal to preceding
classes, although they got no bette,
work or prices.
The class of Is by it's public spirited
ideas has set some good precedents
namely, home printing, giving their
alma mater a class memorial, and en-.
livening commencement with a debate
Mr.. W. S. Bliss, the capable principal,
has also instituted the rule that seniors
making daily average of 80 are not
required to stand a final examination
We hope the day will come when ex-
aminations and tests so-called will be
as obsolete as the tortures of the
lnquisition.
At commencement, three medals will
be presented, the gold medal for best
essay on immigration, awarded some
time ago to Miss Hortense Fulton, as
offered by the Interstate Bank and
Trust Co. of New Orleans, and two
medals by Mrs Julius Freyhan for
pupils making the highest grade in the
grammar and high school, The winners
are not yet known.
