Saratoga, n. Y, May 9-Lively debate
was caused in the Methodist general con-
ference today over the implication in a
resolution that United States soldiers are
generally addicted to drunkenness.
The resolution was introduced by Her
ed the conference to adopt a memorial to
Congress asking a ban on the export OF
liquors to the Hawaiian Islands. In the
preamble was the assertion that such ac-
ton was necessary because Of an "increas-
ing number of American soldiers, among
whom unspeakable carousals on account
of the use of intoxicants have taken
place" He referred, he said, to an oc-
currence that followed the recent visit OF
troops to the islands

AMERICAN PATIENCE IMPOSED

Francisco Villa, the greatest Of
all Mexican villains and outlaws
has imposed on American patience
jast once TOO often, when he raded
and murdered several Ameiieats
soldiers and civilians. last Thursday
at Columbus, N. NJ. He has repeat
edly hurled insults at the Anerican
flag, on several occasions murdered
American subjects, but Wilson's
HWaethful waiting policy came n
an end Immediately after the neWs
was flashed over the wires that
villa had crossed the international
boundary line and had Deliberately
murdered several "Gringoes.'

WILSON'S VICTORY

In refusing to pass a bill which
would compel the United Stetas 10
warn every American wishing 70
20 10 Europe not to board a ship
belonging to any of the b%elligerents
Congress has shown very forclDiy
that it is in accord with President
Wilson'S foreign policy.
What is indeed gratifying is the
fact that the Republican leaders,
realizing the danger Of the situa-
ton, flinging aside all partisan AMI
mostly, readily joined hands with
the Wilson Democratic leaders ID
allowing Mr.. Wilson to pursue MS
foreign policy, adopted since the
outset Of the great European con-
hiict.
Louisiana representatives and
senator's stood firm by Wilson; they
have shown that they are willing

Americas chef executive shoulu
have his way about dealing with
Germany or any other foreign ma
ton. They will find that their con-
stituents are in full accord VIII
them on this score when they ap-
pear here for reelection.
Williams Jennings Bryan, whe
was long recognized as Americas
foremost Democrat, and, who bit
terly opposed Mr.. Wilson in the
recent fight in Congress, can ae-
complish nothing in the way OF 9
Wilson reputation. There is very
little doubt now that the jersey

DRAINED LANDS

Those thousands of acres OF Ter
lille lands in st. Landry which do
not produce sufficient reveEue 70
pay the taxes on them could be fnade
very productive, if our farmers
would come TO the realization that
A tax an for efficient drainage
system is a real profitable and safe
investment.
We have repeatedly urged tae
taxpayers of the rural districts to
devote considerable time to the agi-
tation of a substantial drainage
system; we need not show what
good st. Landry would derive if all
her lands were we'll drained; every
one knows that the valuation OF
country property would be greatly
enhanced and the soil would be
made much more productive and
those thousands of acres of untitled
lands would increase st. Landry's
agricultural output and would nee
essarily place thousands of addi-
tional dollars in circulation in
this parish.
We hope that the taxpayers re
siding within the boundaries of the
several districts created recently
in this parish will rise in a unitee
effort to pass a tax sufficiently
large to insure the thorough drain
ing Of every acre Of land in these
districts. When these property
owners will have done this ane
when their lands will have beer

is no doubt as to his probable fate
and if a battle is Waged between Tie
United States forces and the band
Of outlaws under Villa it is eTa-
dent that every possible means viii
be used TO effect the capture or
death of the murdeder.
If the de facto government OF
Mexico under President Carranza
lends its assistance to the Amerl-
en- soldiers the Mexican invasion
will go down in history as a merry
soldier hunt, but if the Carranza
forces should betray the Americans
it is very probable that the inva-
| sion will prove more serious than
at present imaginable.
There is every reason to belleye
that if CarAanza does not put any
more opposition to the action OF
Fr1nston's soldiers, since President
Wilson so readily consented to al
low the Mexican forces to cross The
international line, in an attempt TO

which Mexico is infested, the Via

CHARBON VACCINATION

Due to the prevalence of charobn
last year in various sections of the
state, the Louisiana State Live
Stock Sanitary Board has sent out
notices earnestly advising early in
oculation or vaccination this season,
on the part of the live stock owners,
in order to anticipate a re-cur-
renee of the Infection and for the
purpose of having their stock pro-
tected in ample time before the adj
vent of warm weather, which is
the Charlton season.
In accord with Federal regula-
tons, supervising the manufacture
and distribution OF biological pro-
duets this particular cine
should bear a date Of expiration not
to exceed three months which will
insure better and more potent mat
erial, consequently more sa~tisfact-
DRY results, this season.
Past experience has taught that
best results are obtained when
animals are vaccinaated against
Charlton early in the Spring SO as
to allow thirty days in which to
secure protection before the season
approaches, when Charlton infect
ion usually develops.
The State Live Stock Sanitary
Board strongly urges, therefore,
that, in those sections of the state
in which Charlton infection has
been known to exist in previous
years vaccination of animals should
be commenced Immediately.
IF stock owners will give this
matter their careful attention, it
will increase the. number of pro-
tected animals at the beginning of
the Charlton season, and materially
limit the spread of the disease,
should the coming Summer prove
favorable to the development of
CHARLTON infection.

WE SHOULD BE INTERESTED

The railroad companies are par
TALLY governed by the Interstate
Commerce Commission and the va
rious Railroad Commissions in
states where they operate. Rates
and sundry disputes arising bet
ween the public and the railroad
companies are decided by these
public bodies.
It would be logical, therefore, that
these same bodies should pass up
on the disagreements between the
railroads and the various brother
hoods of employees, especially since
most Of these disputes effect the
public at large very materially.
As ii is at present a general strike
on nearly all the railroads in the
United States is theatened, and is
evident, if the railroads refuse to
increase the wages of its employees.
The public should be vitality in
terested in this question; millions
of dollars damages will be effected
if the railroads should be bereft Of
its employees; crops will be unsal-
able and every American, no mat
ter Of what occupation. will in a
measure be seriously affected.
Why could it not be possible for
the public to force an investigation
Of the matter. so as to avoid a rup-
ture between the greater portion If
the public carriers and their en-
ployes: why could not disinterested
parties be entrusted to settle the
matter once an for all? If the
brotherhoods, which by overwhelm-
ing vote decided to call a general
strike. are justified in their ptsl fal
increased wages, it would be just
to accord them q favorable judge
ment, while on the other hand if
the railroads are unable to bear
this increase, without raising their
freight and passenger rates, justice
certainly could not demand the in
crease asked,
The public is almost totally ig-
norant Of the many disputes aris-
ing between the railroads and their
employees. We should interest our
selves in both, AZ the railroads are
public highways and their employ
es consequently should be regarded
as public servants. It is therefore
up to The people to take a hand in.
the matter and decide whether the
public corporation or the public
servant is in the right. Whoever
is in the right should be given a
favorable judgement.
