Speaker Clark and Preparedness.

The European war has changed
nearly every mans view on the
question of the army and navy
A few years back the people gave
little thought to the question !;
now it has become the first m at
ter of consideration for the Con-
grces.
Speaker Clark has proba bly,
struck very near the idea that " Ill
be approved by Congress and thu
p::1ziden. iis idea is 10 double
tho capacity of both Annapolis
and West Point. This will GER
tainly double the output of fficers
for both navy ard army.
Ii we are to learn anything from
other nations, Germany has car
tainly proven the case for high
efficiency. England, in a mega.
tive manner. has proven the case
for larger and better munitions
plants. France has shown what
can be done quickly by bcing
strong without the burden and
! curse OF militariem. Belgium, /
course, was the victim of a eu.
perior force, and her doom was
Inevitable. But the United States.
IN army strength and pre- pare dness
is infinitely below the mark, even
Of Belgium.
OF course. the "pork barrel"
must be shifted, and mo e pork
must be Put in the barrel. The
speaker suggests the lowering OF
the income tax exemption, and
the retention Of the duty on sugar
The duty on eugar will provide a
revenue of eixty millions a year,
and by lowering the income tax
exemption, at least thirty million
Of additional revenue can be pro.
duced. Judging from stat
made by lesd 10 of both parties.

To Whom Allegiance is Due.

At a Democratic meeting, held
last week in Franklin, La. one oil
it's speakers criticised the off cials
of the Parish of St. Mary, fol-
! leaving the Democratic and join
ing the Progressive party, during
the term of Office for which they
were elected. by inference brand
ing these officials as traitors to
their party.
If this criticism is directed
against these officials merely be-
cause they left the Democratic
party, it is unsound in logic, and
this theory of party sovereignty is
destructive to good government.
Officials are elected by the PEO-
PIE, not by the PARTY.
Parties only NOMINATE, the
people ELECT.
All that any party can demand
of it's nominee is that, at the time
he accepts the nomination, and
prior to his election, he believes
in its principles. After his cleo
ton, the official becomes the SER
want of the people, aud his sole
allegiance is to the people, sup
p )r,ing his party as ci,iz II, no,
rs an office holder, with the RICH.
and duty to abandon said party
any time. that he believes such
action to the best interest of his
people. AS this belief must arise
ia the mind of the official, he prop
eriy must judge, when it becomes
his duty to remain with or leave
the parry that nominated him
The people, who originally elect
ed him, are the ultimate judges as
to whether his action m cts with
IN ir approval, and they cast the
tiaal verdict in the following elcc-
ton, if made an issue.
Exec dinghy f.w men have fall
ed when the occasion arose to de-
clare their allegiance to the peo-
pie paramount to party loyalty
At the outbreak of the civil war,
northern Democrats supported the
Union, southern Whig- ,ined the
secesolon. Senator Murphy j.
Foster, Of st Nary, continuously
voted in the Senate with the Re-
publican maiority against the
Democratic minority, believing
his allegiance to his people SUI
prsme to every consideration Of
party loyalty.
The condemnation or j1stifica-
lion of their acti IN depends en-
:irely upon whether the conditions

December list, 1915.

The meeting of Indepen
dent Democrats in the city
of New Orleans, to be held
on December 1st, for the
purpose Of endorsing the
candidacy of John M. Par
ker, suggests two things;
One is that the Parker move
ment is net the selfish Third
District sugar planter myth,
so persistently heralded by
the narrow partisan press of
this State. Second, that
somebody else besides the
TRAITORS in the sugar Sec
ton, ia dissatisfied with the
old regime of status in Louis
lana.
Gen. II. Marshall Miller,
who will preside at the meet
ing, is an old-time Democrat
ic leader; he is not an old
time Democratic Office holder
or Office seeker. The young
men who planned this revolt
are not candidates for any
Office; they are starting po-
litical life by devoting their
time, and casting their votes
first for the State, and not
for themselves or their DO
litical allies.
The movement is an organ
lied effort to secure political
independence in the State,
by displacing status with
agreement. It is for the
purpose of destroying system
and restoring democracy; it
is for the purpose Of substi-
tuting the State for the ma.
chine; it is to liberate the
ruled mass by reducing the
ruling mass. Its result will
be that political monopoly
will no longer laugh at ma
jorities and scott at public
sentiment.

Every four years "The design
ing politician" gets to be the mos
abused phrase in the English Ian.
guage. Of course there are such
creatures in the world, but they
are far less numerous than is gen
orally believed. The averag,
man is honest; by average, VT
mean those men who are recog'
nized socially and otherwise. The
average man desires peace. pros
perity and happiness to both in
dividuals and the State. Politics
does not often corrupt men; but
politics has not touched most men
with the sinister finger; aud when
We indi ,criminatcIy brand OPP
posing factions or men, We simply
display a lack Of modcsty and in
tegrity and rightly cast the fiager
of suspicion on ourselves. Moth
ing contrary to the analysis OF
reason is right. America has
grown and prospered for more
than a century. There is a reason
for this advancement, and the rea-
son does not lie in the fact that
men have been corrupt. Analysis
leads to the one conclusion that
AmeIic has not been corrupt; tn
result is she has been blessed.
Blessings do not crown corruption.
To say on the other hand that
all men are iGcorruptible, is con-
trary to human experience; not
r curing analysis to be CON-
viDciug. even as your Father
in Heaven is peri CT" does not
carry with it eternal damnation
for human weakness; it means
that to overcome is heroic as well
az expe cted.
America is not at war with tbs
world. The American people de-
serve the credit and they are
thankful. Our State has grown
aud prospered; our people deserve
the credit. and they are thankful.
Our politics is not bad; there are
some bad influences at work, bu
all men are not incorruptible. But
the good that is in men has made
our State what it is now, and the
same il flueHces will care for il in
the future,
We ought to be thar ktul for
what we have, for We will get
