MUST KEEP CAMPAIGN
PROMISES,

Among the reforms proposed is
the placing of all officers on a
salary basis; naturally this meas.
ure will be opposed by many who
are now making more money than
they would under the proposed
law. But the people of Louisiana
demand that sheriffs and clerks Of

COURT EXONERATES
SHERIFF ELECT P. A.
LANDRY.

During the early part Of last
week when it became known that
charges had been preferred
against Mr.. p. A. Landry, the
Sheriff elect who had been
charged with bribing two voters
at Loreauville. Eustache Oubre
and Louis f. Dugas, it brought
forth considerable comment and
while many thought the charges
might preclude Mr.. Landry from
taking his office, others treated
the matter with Indifference. pre-
ferring to await the action Of the
Justice Court at Loreauville Of
which Mr.. j. A. Du,gas sits as
the Judge. Affidavits had also
been filed against Messrs. Lee
and Antoine Gonsoulin for the
same offense. They We're also
exonerated. On Tuesday when
the preliminary trial came up
affidavits were furnished by the
same people who had preferred
these charges that they were OBJ
tanned under false representation.
1t is generally rumored that other
charges will be preferred at a
later date, but it is doubtful if
proof can be secured that would
convict any one for this practice.
Under the Corrupt Practice
Act, passed at the last session Of
the State Legislature. the pur-
chase Of votes is made serious
offense. The law as it stands on
the Statute books is a good one
in Louisiana. as it will break up |
a practice that has been extern
sively INDUCED in since the time
the Louisiana Lottery applied tor
a Charter and circulated through :
out the State, millions Of dollars
to corrupt the electorate and
many of the voters of iberia have
been debauched so often that
they do not hesitate now to make
open demands for money upon
one pretense and then another. 1t
has been so for many years that
only a man witDmeans could offer
himself for any office in Iberia
Parish with any degree of assur-
ance that he would be in the run
ming. If he has no money, or his,
friends will not prt it up for him
it would be better that he never
submit his name before the e.cc-
torate for any Office from Justice
of the Peace to the highest in the
gift of the people.
The expense of holding office
as conditions are to-day in Iberia.
as well as many other Parishes of
the State, make it burdensome
upon those filing the positions !
and when their terms expire. or
they are met with defeat, theyi
usually go out of office with moth
ing left but regret that they were
ever given positions that should
have been one of honor, with
limited degree of profit to them
selves. We will 'be glad to see ,
these conditions changed and feel
certain the time will come when, !
the actual cost of hiring
hall or two for speech-making
and the expense of brass band
that there be no other expense. $
This will only come when every
voter who makes a demand for 9
money before he casts his voteI
finds himself taken up and prose- I
cuted as was done in other States
recently. with a wholesome effect.

One of the most beautiful and
touching services ever held in the city
was that of Sunday evening at the
German Lutheran church, when in a
most impressive manner the pastor,
the Rev. j. F. w. Reinhardt, and the
congregation Of the church, in token
of long and loyal service, presented
to Mr.. ]. George White, founder of
the church in Pensacola, testimonials
of appreciation in the form of a gold
medal and a document, signed by the
elders and trustees of the church, ex-
pressive of their appreciation.
In few eloquent words the pastor
voiced the sentiment of the meeting,
which was held Immediately after
the regular church services, and the
document and medal were presented
Mr.. White by Mr.. H. Muller, the only
other survivor of the original found
ers of Emmanuel Lutheran church.
The following inscription spoke of
the beautiful service rendered the
church in the past thirty years by
one who had never failed in his love
and duty, often, as the pastor remind
ed the congregation, even neglecting
his business to devote his time to his
church.
The presentation was most impress
sive, the pastor requesting that each
of the present elders and trustees take
their places at the altar, then making
known that fhe object of the meeting
was to honor him who had so beau
tifully and faithfully rendered serv-
ice to his church. Mr.. Rheinhardt
said that while the church deeply APP
preciated the service of the present
elders and trustees, that the meeting
had been called to do special honor to
Mr.. White, to whom more than to

MOBILE WORKING FOR BETTER
FILMS FOR CHILDREN.

The Women's Clubs of Pensacola
have interested themselves in the Bet
ter Films movement, and the men,
bers viii read with interest of what
Mobile is doing along this line:
The ladies, who are always to the
front when it comes to doing things
for the betterment of the city and
its citizens, have new campaign now
on hand for Better Motion Pictures
for Children" and with such an in
terested promoter of it as Mrs. G. A.
Leftwich, it is not to be doubted that
it viii be carried through with sue
cess.
This movement began in Louis
vile, KY, with Mrs. Frederick Levy
as its promoter, and met with such
pronounced success there that it has
been tried in twenty other cities with
great success.
For long time Mrs. Leftwich has
felt that the pictures shown were too
deep for children, and that something
should be done to introduce ones of
lighter vein. While away last sum-
mer in Tennessee she read in a paper
of the movement, and also In the La
dies Home Journal, and, returning
home, sought Mrs. G. S. Shuford, pres
ident of the Leinkauf School I'm
provement association, and arousing
her sympathy and interest, was glad
to find that the Leinkauf school
would be the vehicle for carrying
this movement through.
Mrs. Shuford, who enthusiastically
endorsed it, appointed Mrs. Leftwich
chairman, and then they sought the
cooperation of Mr.. / N. Frenkel of
the Crescent theatre.
Mr.. Frenkef promised to show the
pictures for children at his theatre
on Saturday from 10 a. m. to p. M,
and if it met with the patronage to
compensate him for showing these
pictures, he would continue it every
Saturday. This was carried into eff
feet yesterday, and Mr.. Frenkel's
ready and willing cooperation is
much appreciated.
There will be called meeting OF
the board this week to organize and to
elect officers, and there will be a
board of censorship who will give
their time without compensation. The
slogan of this board is ''To create
national demand for better films
for children, so that films especially
suitable for children, must necessarily
be manufactured, due to public &C
claim"
Those named on the board are
Mayor P. ]. Lyons, Mr.. S. S. Murphy,
superintendent of public schools; Mr..
John T. Cochrane, chairman Of board
Of school commissioners; Mr.. Frede-
rick I. Thompson, president Of The

Of The Mobile Item; DR.. T. H. Fra

TAKE MAGNESIA
AFTER MEALS TO
STOP INDIGESTION
6lsurated Maenesla sweetens Sour Acid
Stomach and Stops All Distress
In Five Minutes.

People who have acid Indigestion, seem
to find most everything they eat dis
agrees with them and are troubled with
sour or burning sensation and formation
OF gas in stomach. They should drop
digestive aids and get from their drug
g1st few ounces of ordinary pure Bisu-
rated Magnesia and take teaspoonfuI in
a quarter glass Of water right after eat
Ing. This would promptly neutralize the
excess acid sweeten the stomach con-
tents and their food would digest prop
erly and painlesly. Its great to forget
about Indigestion, to be able to eat big
meals and enjoy them and never have 4
pain to follow. Yet lot of long faced
folks who suffer from stomach trouble
continually and have to say, mo thank
you TO most everything on the table, can
get healthy digestion easily and quickly
by using Bisurated 1Iagnesia to sweeten
their acid stemachs. For correcting
stomach acidity do not take Magnesia
in any form but Bisurated.- ADV.

Practical Economy

Baking powders made from alum or
phosphate may be bought for tri1e less
than Royal Baking Powder, which is made
from cream of tartar, derived from grapes.
Alum powders are not only cheap, but
they differ greatly IN leavening power.
IF a cheap baking powder is used for a
fine cake and the cake turns out a failure
there is a waste of costly materials worth
more than whole can of the cheap balz-
ing powder.
Royal Baking Powder produces the
finest food, and its use therefore, results in
an actual saving.
