A Slender and Its Answer.
Evangelire Barlner.l

EVangeiine SalnerI
The cry that sought to perpetuate the
Louisiana lottery when it had been driven
from every State of the Union is the same
cry that seeks to perpetuate the saloon in
Louisiana, when it is being driven from
every State and the Nation: Louisiana is
too poor to consider the moral phase of the
issuance of liquor licenses. Give US this
revenue or we PERISH"
But the manhood and womanhood of
Louisiana sileneed the Islander that Louisi-
ana was dependent upon partnership with
an immoral traffic for the education of its
children; for the care OF its gray, uniformed
heroes; for the support of its institutions
of charity; for the maintenance of its
levees; for any legitimate public expense.
They sileneed that Islander by killing the
Louisiana lottery. And so the manhood
and womanhood of Louisiana will silence
the SANDER that Louisiana must continue
to harbor an immoral traffic that will have
been outlawed by over half the States of
the Union within two years, and by the
Nation in less than decade-that she is
dependent for legitimate revenues upon a
part of the gold taken from her people
whom it licenses the liquor traffic to de-
bauch, degrade and pauperize.
They will silence that SANDER by killing
the Louisiana saloon.

TRUE TO EVERY TRUST.

The entire life of Lieutenant Governor
Thomas C. Barrett is refutation of all the
slanderous charges brought against him.
Strong in his conviction OF right, fearless
in his expression of them, and possessing
the rare faculty of impressing men with
the purity and sincerity of his motives, the
people have not yet failed to respect the
reasons his friends have given to sustain
any position he has taken. He is courage
Gus and manly in action, and wise and ju-
dicious in council. Honest and incorrupti-
BILE, his official record is unassailable.
Abuse and misrepresentation he can tram
pie upon and defy, for.he still remains the
purity OF his manhood and the unbounded
confidence of his friends. The whole biog-
raphy of Thomas G. Barrett can be written
in the one word-FIDELITY He has always
been true to himself, and true to every trust
imposed in him. Tom Barrett will do Moth
ing that fails to commend the assent of his
reason or of his conscience, and in the fu-
ture, as in the past, he will discharge to the
utmost every duty, public or private; faith
full to the end, with the approval of his own
conscience and esteem of the people of
louisiana

Ezekiel.

Is it meet for any work?-15, 4.
Have ye not seen vain vision, and have
We not spoken lying divination, whereas
We say the Lord saith it; albeit have not
spoken?-13, 8.
Therefore We shall see no more vanity,
nor divine divinations: for will deliver
my people out of your hand: and ye shall
know that | am the Lord.-13, 20.
And the word of the Lord came unto me,
saying, Son of man, prophesy against the
phrophets of Israel, that prophesy, and
say thou unto them that prophesy out of
their own hearts, Hear We the word of the
Lord; Thus saith the Lord God; Woe unto
the foolish prophets, that follow their own
spirit, and have seen nothing!-13, 1-3.
Therefore will judge you, 0 house of
Israel, every one according to his ways,
saith the Lord God. Repent and turn your
selves from all your transgfessions; so in
lquity shall not be your ruin. Cast away
from you all your transgressions, whereby
ye have transgressed; and make you new
heart and new spirit: forwhy will We die,
Q house of Israel? For have no pleasure
in the death of him that dieth, saith the
Lord God: wherefore turn yourselves and
live ye.-18, 1922.

Welsh Journal: Reports received at the
Barrett headquarters in New Orleans and
in Shreveport show that Barrel is gaining
ground continually in the northern central,
southwestern and Florida parishes sections
of the State. The absurd claims being
furnished by the Pleasant campaign boost
ers are not being swallowed by the people,
These claims are being put out solely for
the purpose of fooling the voters and CATCH
ing that portion of the vote which desires
to sit in the band-wagon of the candidate
who is expected to win. Silly estimates
and false claims do not elect governors of
Louisiana. The people of the State are
going to vote for the man best equipped for
the position. Conservative reports from
friends of the Barrett cause throughout the
State indicate that Barrel will have an i'm
mense majority over his opponent.

Vote with the Women and Children.

The following paragraph is taken from a
statement issued Saturday by Col. j. B.
Ards, chairman of the Barrett General
Campaign Committee, which endorsement.
as friend and supporter of Mr.. Barrel. we
point to with pride and pleasure:
Ninety five per cent of the Christian
ministers of Louisiana are supporting Mr..
Barret and majority of them strongly
advocate his election. Here in Shreveport
wnere Mr.. Barret's record and policies
have been subjected to a more critical
scrutiny than in any other section of the
State, because it is his home city, the en-
tire ministerial association is supporting
his candidacy. 1t is also Col. Pleasant
home city and not a single minister of
Shreveport is giving him his support. Even
lqe minister OF his own congregation is
against him and for Mr.. Barrett
Why not vote with the ministers and for
the women and children? No better COM
pany can be found in the State.

This is our last issue before the primary
We have heartily supported Mr.. Barrett for
Governor because he honestly and fear
lessly stands for the right in this contest.
We know him and have confidence in him
His election will mean great deal for pro-
hibition in Louisiana. His defeat, should
this unfortunately be the result, would be
received with great rejoicing by all of the
enemies OF prohibition. In closing our
work in this primary we submit the follow
ing admonition against boss rule made by
ex-Chief Justice Thomas C. Manning dur
ing the State election of 1887: 81 have
single word of advice: 1t is this: Take
care that you nominate for Governor man
who is his own master and not another's.
Take care that you nominate for Governor
man who has the firmness to mark out his
own path in p;ielic life, who has the cour-
age OF his convictions and who seorns to
be the puppet of anybody"

Anti Saloon League of Louisiana: Car
any one offer a single argument in favor o.
the whisky business? What good thine
has it ever done? Can you defend it? &C
to the jails, the penitentiaries, the insane
asyums, the gambling bells and ask the
victims to name the most prolific source Of
woe and misery. At least 80 per cent oil
the victims of these places will tell you that
they can trace their ruin directly to the
whisky evil. This being true, will you de-
fend and uphold such an evil? Your boy
your sweet danghter-may be the next
vim. Thomas G.. Barrat stands upon a
platform which declares that he will do all
in his power to give the people Of Louisiana
an opportunity to say at the ballot box
whether they want this monstrous evil to
continue or destroyed. Colonel Pleasant
says he is local optionists-which means
that he is perfectly willing for conditions
to remain as they are at present. He
further declared that if the General Az.
sembly passeda Statewide prohibition bill
that he (Pleasant) would veto it. The ward
bosses and those interested in the sale of
whisky are also local optionists. They are
willing to let present conditions remain
undisturbed. Where do you stand?

Once upon time good wife asked her
husband, about to retire for the night, to
look out of the window and report weather
conditions. Cropping about in the dark,
instead of throwing open the window shut
ter he-opened the cupboard, stuck his head
into it and quickly withdrew his head with
the exclamation that it was "cloudy and
smelt like cheese" So, Norman Walker,
associate editor of the New Orleans Times
Picayune, hot foots it to the Choctaw Club,
the sacred Mecca of Bossdom: crosses
Canal Street to Pleasant Headquarters,
and then, imagining he has taken in the
political situation of the entire State, he
announces with grand flourish of words,
that Pleasant will receive 1900 majority
for Governor. This is the merest clap trap,
and we cannot believe that any intelligent
man will take seriously Walkers soup
board view Of the political situation. 1t
smells too much like Choctaw cheese.

just Four---Read the ANALYSIS.

You do just four things. You think
you remember; you imagine; you act.
| When you learn to think better. remember
better, imagine better, or act better, you are
increasing your efficiency, and, therefore,
your income. You may feel that you are
very successful now. Suppose you are;
1t ism t question of what you know, but of
how beneficial practical business educa-
ton will be to you in addition to what you
already know. You will agree with us that
to violate part of the laws of business
means partial failure, and to violate all the
laws means complete failure. You are also
aware that to observe all the laws means
complete success. Our aim is to help you
observe higher per. cent of the laws of
business success. The late Prof. James
OF Hazard declares that the average man
only uses 10 per cent of his brain power
Suppose you are twice as capable as the
average man? Even that would mean YOU
are only 20 per cent of your maximum pos
sibillties. The purpose of our course is to
produce maximum of proficiency with
minimum effort. Did you ever stop to think
that 85 per cent of the men of this country
are only earning S15 week or less? That
81 per cent fail in business between the
ages Of forty and fifty? That 95 per cent
have no money at the age of sixty? We
have been very successful in getting men
out of the So, the 90 and the 95 per cent
class. Why not let US help you? We have
been marvelously successful in raising sal
aries, asisconclusiyely proven by the letters
IN our catalogue from former students.
The business world wants thinkers and
doors. There's famine of high priced
men to-day. There are thousands of men
worth thousand dollars year, but only
few worth ten thousand year. Be the
latter kind OF man, you can if you will.
We know that man is worth only about
" day from the chin down, selling muscle.
but as high as hundred dollars q year
from the chin up, selling brains. Be q
chin-npper and sell brains; but remember
you must get them before you can sell them.
Take our thorough, practical courses of
bookkeeping, Shorthand, Stenotypewrit-
ing, Cotton CHASING, Business Admins
tratlon and Finance, and Telegraphy.
Learn how to think. to remember, to imag-
Inc and act. We can teach you and thereby
greatly increase your usefulness through
out life.

The Lieutenant Goyernor.hIp.

ohfeVepoFE journal.
Mr.. Fontenot is committed to the con-
gressional unit and Statewide submission,
Ever since the State campaign opened
Mr. Fontenot has fought aggressirely and
unweaFingiy the fight of the arti-saloon
interests of the State. Messrs. Burke and
Mouton have been lined up with Colonel
Pleasant III advocacy of the status quo with
respect to the saloons
Mr.. Fontenot is militant reformer. His
record in the Legislature was one OF cease
less opposition to the representatives OF
bossdom. He was vigilant in thwartine
their plans and aggressive in checking
their influence. Messrs. Burke and Mou-
ton both claim the support of the ring
They are contending for it with each other
and with Mr.. Claiborne, who has cast long
ing eyes in that direction.
The prohibitionists have but one real
champion in the lieutenant governorship
fight, Mr.. Fontenot. He is pledged to pro-
hloition extension, while the others are
pledged to policy of anti-liquor inertia.
1t is not reasonable to suppose that the
prohloitionists of North Louisiana will be
SO blind to the best interests Of the cause
as to assist in putting in office lieutenant
governor who oppose these interests.
Mr. Fontenot is in every way qualified
for the duties of the office to which he is
aspiring. He has capacity and experience
in legislative affairs. Moreover, he is a
heart and soul enemy of the licensed sa-
loon. With these things to recommend
him to the elector, We will have missed our
guess sadly if North Louisiana does not
pile up big majority for the st. Landry
candidate on election day.
