The Madison journal. (Tallulah, Madison Parish, La.) 1888-current, 1915-03-06

Rev. Claude L. Jones, chairman of the
press committee of the Louisiana Anti-Saloon
league, gave out the following statement
last night:
''In view of the action of the supreme
court in dissolving the injunction issued by
Judge Webb, thereby permitting the whiskey
election on Thursday, the Louisiana Anti
Saloon league joins with the executive COM
mittee Of the prohibition league in urging
all citizens opposed to saloons or the high
handed methods in forcing an illegal election
on the community, to stay away from the
poll and have nothing whatever to do with
the election.
The action of the supreme court was not
based upon the merits of the question at
issue, and we are absolutely confident that
when the constitutionality of the present
local option law comes before the court it
will be upheld. ....-
If it should happen otherwise, it will
be the match which will set Louisiana on
fire for statewide prohibition, which is the
last thing politicians and liquor people de-
sire, and there is every reason, both from
a law and a common sense standpoint, why
we should not be alarmed.
Shreveport will never again see the
licensed saloon in spite Of the present indie
feasible methods"
We hope that DR.. Jones will get mat
tiers fhaped up to suit him in Caddo, and
that he will be relieved of the necessity of
devoting his efforts to other parts of the
State. We do not think that any parish
will hail with glee such turmoil as has been
aroused in Caddo during the past few years.

WOOdman Spare This Branch

The Probe Commission is. somewhat
concerned over the cost of litigation. Now
the fact is the that litigants themselves
make the cost small or great, as they see
fit. When private citizen gets het up
enough to 60 into court, he. don't stop to
consider expense; when he wants the law on
his neighbor, what does he care about ex-
penses. To litigate and stick his neighbor
for heavy costs is about the only constitu-
tional guarantee left the citizen and we view
with alarm the effort to cut down the cost
OF litigation. What satisfaction will there
be in winning law suit when your oppo-
nent's cost bill will be only nominal?
We trust that the Commission will hop
light on the subject and that it will not
cripple this diversion. The elimination of
horse-racing, chicken-fghting, shooting
craps, and other amusements makes it ne
cessary to leave to us something in the way
of recreation.

The States calls attention to the result
OF little provision that had crept into the
laws of the state of New York. The provis-
lou was one aimed at foreign labor and for
many years was not observed, but recently
the application of the law forced the strike
OF more than 10, 900 foreign laborers. 1t now
seems impossible to replace this labor, all
due to i'll advised legislation. It is hard to
predict what complications will result from
hasty legislation in Louisiana enancted at
the last of two sessions.

The residents of the United States have
had brought home to them with distinctive
ness the shallowness of all professions of
friendship which have characterized the
utterances Of foreign countries since the
beginning of the war.
1t is very clear that one of the bellger-
ant nations loves US just about as much as
other, and that the extent of that love goes
just as far as the interest of the nation con-
cerned goes and no further. Not zone of the
nations at war has shown any desire to make
single concession that would entail a dis
advantage. There is no particular lesson in
this except perhaps to emphasize the wis
dam OF strict neutrality on our part, indvi-
duaily and collectively. 1t may be good
idea to examine the record and turn the facts
over before engaging in controversies, in
which partizan feeling may get the best of
good judgment.
