FROM OUR STATE EXCHANGES.

Mansfield Enterprise: A lot of people
talk. few think, and some are too darned
lazy to do either.
Tensas Gazette: 1t is a safe bet that
when a man spends his time loafing around
saloon waiting for his ship to come in,
the ship is always schooner.
New Orleans States: Henry Ford says
he has gone into the peace movement with
both feet. There is no doubt about it.
Evidence is abundant that he is not using
his head at ALL
Bastrop Enterprise: Who injected the
prohibition question into the campaign? III
we remember right, our old friend, J. Y.
Sanders, rented hall in Baton Rouge and
delivered speech on that subject in which
he most frightfully arrai gned New Orleans
and the whisky ring, and he there and then
declared that the Estate should rule whisky
instead of being ruled by whisky
Mansfield Enterprise: Authentic news
be overwhelmingly in favor of President
defense, but history will record that the
politicians of all parties, with a few excep-
tons, did absolutely nothing until the great
in their might and demanded protection
instead of pork barrels.
Opelousas Enterprise: In sending troops
to Jefferson Parish Gov. Hall has shown
his determination to enforce law and order

and one of these days its horrible odor and
awful reputation will both be things of the
remote past.
Shreveport Caucasian: If experience in
practical politicsi is one Of the several essen
tails required of the three candidates for
Governor, then Barrett is the best qualified
by reason of the fact that he is thoroughly
familiar with every detail of the State gov
eminent and the needs of the State. This
experience he has acquired by practical
service as a State Senator and as the
Lieutenant Governor, and he is we'll equip
ped in every respect to fill the office of
Governor.
Oberln News: The league has nothing
to do with parties or factions; it does not
love Pleasant less or Barrel more; its one
object and aim is the overthrow Of the sa-
loon. Had not Mr.. Pleasant sided with the
saloon and against the league, the league
would not have been in this fight. For the
the patriotic lover of his State who believes
in clean politics, honest elections, and good
government, there is, according to our way
of thinking, but one choics in this cam
paign and that choice is Mr.. Barrel.
Shreveport Caucasian: There is some
difference between what may be styled
legitimate political criticism and falsehood
which are enunciated and propagated with
wiful intent. There is only one way tc
meet these ISLANDERS of Lieut.. Gov. Barrett
whether uttered or circulated by newspa-
pers or individuals, and that is to declare
such fabrications and such ISLANDERS DELHI.

should do, as a prelude to his speeches
wherever he has an appointment to address

an emphatic declaration that such report:
