The Mechanics-American Bank, of
ST. Louis. in its monthly financial let.
ter, states: 1T is evident now that
Europe will be forced to purchase
heavily in the United States after the
war ends. Negotiations under way
show that this country will probably
do large business with Russia as
soon as trade channels are opened.
The new facilities of the Federal Re-
serve system are likely to b.
helpful in promoting these connec-
tons. There will be in time broad
development of American banking in
situations in foreign lands Which
puts another spike in the "temporar'
prosperity coffin of the Republican
candidate.

Referring to President Wilson's I'M
firing efforts TO avert country wide
railway strike, the New York Com
mercial. leading non-partisan, finan-
cial paper OF national influence, says:
Mr.. Wilson is wearing out his heart
and mind trying to avert a big in
dustrial catastrophe; Mr.. Hughes is
out on the stump hammering at Mr.
Wilson for alleged inefficiency. The
voters mind is really on the railway
strike and not on campaign speeches.
If anything, he sympathizes With Mr.

Friends of Congressman Johnson de-
precate the idea of having him take
part in the meetings on Grays Harbor
with Candidate Humphreys, taking it
for granted that the sentiment here
is not with Reactionary Humphreys or
the policies he advocates. Congress
man Johnson has host of friends on
Grays Harbor who have no use for
the Sob Sister of the Seattle Saw
Mills.

ment of a national suffrage amend
ment. 1t will no doubt be held by
the women votersNof the country that
the right to make living is a more
sacred right than that of winning
the suffrage by national rather than
state initiative.
The story is an interesting one. The
teachers of New York City, women
and men both, had secured, after a
long, hard fight, the adoption by the
legislature OF an amendment to
charter of New York City. providing
that women teachers should be pal
the same salaries that the men re-
ceived, for the same kind and qua
of work done.
When the bill reached Governor
Hughes, he returned it without his
approval. He wrote:
The motive OF the present bill
is to compel equal pay for men and
women holding the same position
under any particular schedule of
salaries. 1t clearly appears to be
open to serious objection. 1t is
proposed by legislative enactment
to establish the proposition that
for the work of given position
women shall receive equal pay
with men. 1t is for the principle
that the supporters of the bill con-
tend, and not for increased pay.
l cannot approve this BILL
Charles E. Hughes.
Governor Hughes argument that
the bill ought to apply to the whole
state and not alone to the city of
New York, and that it ought to in
clude all government positions and not
those of teachers only, sounds like the
excuse of man who is trying to es-
cape from the manifest justice of the
measure itself, since enacted into law
to the satisfaction of all concerned.
His prophecy that the desired legis-
lation would be unfortunate both for
the schools and teachers" has PROV
ed as foolish as his misgivings about
the income tax, whose rejection by
the Legislature he also advised.
1t would be interesting to know if
the hundred per cent. candidate"
holds it to be still a fundamental
matter" which he cannot approve"
that for the work of given position
women shall receive equal pay with
men,"

coLFAx, GRANT PARISH, La, SATURDAY, JUNE 8, 1916

The 18th amendment of the
constitution of the United States
was intended by its trainers to
confer the electoral franchise up
on negroes, and the recent de-
cisions Of the federal supreme
court, in the cases coming up
from Maryland and Oklahoma,
have demonstrated that no law
can be devised by human inge-
nuity which will successfully
evade or nullify its provisions.
But experience has shown that
when the white people of the
Southern states have held to-
gether, settled their differences
in white primaries, and used the
general election only to record
the will of the majority, the ne
gro vote is eliminated and the
state is as effectually governed
and controlled by it's white pop
ulation as it was previous to the
adoption of the 18th amendment.
From 1893 to 1916 the white
primary has been. in Louisiana,
an effective and impregnable
bulwark against negro suffrage.
But insthe recent campaign the
doctrine was advanced, and is
still being preached, that no
voter who has participated in a
primary election, is bound by the
result thereof and that he is le-
gally and morally free to repudi-
ate, the result of the primary
election and to join with and as
sist the enemies of his party.
IF the doctrine prevails land
the number who acted therein in
the recent election shows the
alarming spread of the heresy),
its inevitable result will be to
destroy the white primary. and
restore the negro electorate, as it
existed from 1863 to 1893. with
the result that the negroes, hold
ing the balance of power, will
control the destinies of the state.
IL. Whereas, certain self
styled democrats have not only
frequently and repeatedly failed
to respond to democracy's call,
but have, in the recent guberna-
torial and congressional contests,
given aid and comfort to the en-
envy.
"12. We therefore call on the
democratic members Of the gen.
eral assembly to organize a dem
ocratic caucus and to formulate
and pass primary election, gen.
eral election and registration
laws which will preserve the pu-
rity and binding force of the
white primary; which will brand
party perfdy as a crime; and
which will stamp out and des-
troy the abominable and shame
full doctrine of party treachery
which was preached and prac-
ticed during the last campaign. f"

the earnest effort that he has
shown in preserving peace with
honor.
"A. That we endorse the pro-
gram of preparedness that is
now being enacted into law by
the democratic congress upon the
recommendation of the demo-
cratic president, believing as we
do, that thorough preparedness
is the only guarantee of public
safety and peace.
THAT we call to the attention
of the national democratic ad-
ministration that we have the
most extensive and vulnerable
sea board, while all possible enc
mics are separated from US by
the seas. and that the horrors of
war can never be brought to our
shores until after the American
navy is destroyed; that. as a pow
erful navy is the first line of de-
tense, and if made sufficiently
strong. guarantees US peace, we
therefore urge that our navy be
increased and enlarged until it is
demonstrably stronger than any
possible enemy or any two of
them combined.
"6. That we affirm our belief
in the time-honored principle of
the doctrine of tariff for reve-
nue., and congratulate this demo-
cratic administration in its rec
ognition of this doctrine by the
re-imposition of the revenue tar

~. We endorse and approve
the efforts of our democratic
