parties ought to be compelled to nominate
by primary and hold their primaries On the
same day.
After the low morality which has been
preached in this campaign and the braZen
treachery we have witnessed, Democratic
Legislature viii not be expected to take ad-
vice from those who have cone everything
possible to destroy the party. 1t will not
be expected to listen to the plea from its
enemies that in seeking to obey the primary
law of self preservation it is infringing upon
the citizens liberty in political action.
It will possess no right Of course to COM
pei any man to join party with which he
is not in sympathy. But it will be well
within its rights if it lays down the simple
rule Of honesty-that no man shall be al
lowed to take part in the c0unseIs Of any
party with the deliberate intentions Of
cutting its throat. Daily States.
The foregoing should be a warning to
voters.
1t should be the purpose of democrats
to keep mental tab on the voters in the en-
suing campaign who vote against the nomi-
nee, in order that the influence Of such
voters can be restricted in the future, to
the party they have taken up with.
The JOURNAL renews its request to the
voters to keep an eye on the Parker voters.

Party Integrity

One of the first pieces of legislation to
be taken up by the General Assembly, when
it meets three weeks from next Monday,
will be revision of the primary, registration
and election laws. Gov. Pleasant and the
overwhelming Democratic membership Of
the Legislature will be forced to meet the
strong demand of such legislation, which
some of the abest of the Democratic papers
in the State already are urging.
Heretofore the Democratic party at
Baton Rouge in election matters always has
legislated to the advantage of the opposition
But the treachery manifested in the present
campaign shows how its generosity is abused
''The first law of nature, with parties
as with men," says The Natchitoches Enter
prise, ''is self-preservation. It has always
been and will be unjil the end"
Before the legal primary was enacted,
party nominations were made by the Demo-
cratic party under party regulations. Gener-
ally, the condition Of participation was the
voters pledge that he had voted the Demo-
cratic ticket in the previous election and
would support the nominee Of the primary
in which he offered to participate when
challenged by any voter he was compelled
to make oath to that effect But, unlike
Mississippi, Louisiana did not put this con-
dition in its primary law.
Undoubtedly it will be the keystone of
the new primary legislation and it ought to
be. No man should be allowed to partici-
pate in the Democratic primaries to be held
later in the year who does not stamp the
rooster on April 18th, nor in any subsequent
primary unless he was Democrat in the
previous election and agrees to observe the
obligation he assumes when he enters The
primary. The law ought to be made clear
that there can be no such thing in our poll
tics as an independent Democrat or an in
pendent, Republican or an independent Pro-
gressive or an independent Socialist. There
ought to be no room for hyphens and all

Every day the evidence grows stronger
that the Sussex was deliberately destroyed
by German submarine, in violation of the
assurances given to the United States that
such warfare would be discontinued. But
what else can we expect after experiences
with modern war? Does not absolute dis
regard Of treaties and other obligations
indicate that national morality is lower than
ever known in the worlds history? Can we
longer have any faith in stipulations made
in advance to alleviate the rigours of war?
War is hell, and we may as we'll expect from
it, in the future, every horror that savage
instinct can devise. international law is
relegated to the attic with other fairy
tales. The savage is still in all of us.

figures on. Sunday-school work in
Bamberg, referring to both Sunday
schools, showing that within the past
few years there has been wonderful
progress. Mr.. Utsey said that the
attendance upon Sunday-scllool is in
creasing so rapidly that there is not
now room to accommodate the class
es properly. A few years ago, the
children were either sent to Sunday
school or brought by the mothers.
Now the fathers may be seen bring
ing their children.

WAR PRICES AIDING DRUGS.
Trade Paper Says American Products
Are Taking New Markets.

A review of the drug market as
printed in Weekly Drug Markets, out
today, shows some Of the jumps in
the prices of drugs due to the war.
Carbolic acid, which before the
war was selling at or cents, and
was being marketed at loss by
German and English makers in their
price cutting war to obtain American
trade, reached so cents last January,
and at the end of last month reached
$1.75. The paper says:
The enormous demand for this pro-
duct, both in it's uncombined state
and as basic material synthetic COM
pound used in medicine and various
technical industries as we'll as in the
fabrication Of explosives, created a
shortage which in many places was
acutely felt. These conditions prompt
ed a number of American manufac-
turers to enter the field. That they
have successfully solved most of the
problems incident to this industry is
now believed, and from now on one
may look for lower prices on this ar
ticle
Sulphate jumped from 26 cents in
100 ounce tins to s2.76; opium has
become almost unobtainable; codliver
oil, Norwegian, rose to $50 barrel;
Newfoundland codliver oil rose to S55
and $50. Other drugs advanced in
price as much. The, article says:
The unprecedented opportunity to
introduce American made goods into
new markets has been in large de-
gree met and greater successes in this
direction are highly probable. That
the drug trade has reason to look
forward to a participation in the fl
nancial rewards of more general
prosperity seems to be the message
this year 1915 has passed along to it's
successor.-New York Sun.

! BIG ORDERS FOR ALCOHOL.
5Distillefs Securities Company to Ship
10000, 900 Gallons.

Distillers Securities corporation in
the past week has booked additional
orders for 100000 gallons of al
cohol for export at price of 50
cents gallon net to the company.
The demand for alcohol continues
pressing and work is being rushed on
additions to existing facilities of the
distillers' plants.
The price of 80 cents a gallon at
which the recent orders have been
placed compares with price of about
80 cents, at which alcohol was sell
ing when the war started. This rep
resents an increase in price Of 73 per
cent
Earnings of Distillers Securities
corporation are running at over
100000 a month, or one per cent. a
month on the $30,S43,4S1 stock. The
cotnpany's fiscal period closes June
80, and earnings in the coming
months will reflect the full benefit
of the heavy alcohol orders. Earn
ings of between IL per cent. and Is
per cent. for the 1916 fiscal period
seem assured.
~ Aside from the war order profits,
the domestic business of the COM
pany has been satisfactory of late.
Prices have advanced and trade con-
ditions have improved. Revenues
from the beverage end of the busi-
ness are expected to be better this
current fiscal period than for many
years.
According to interests, close to the
company, it is likely that stockhold-
ers in the early part of next year will
receive a participation in the pros
perity which the company has been
enjoying. The stock will be placed
on a dividend basis, and among GER
tain directors five per cent. or six
per cent. rate is expected.--Wall
