POLITICAL GOSSIP IN LOUISIANA

New Orleans, August 12.-Those who
have expressed fear that, with the State
and City organizations jointly trium-
plant, the interests of the people might
suffer, have found no consolation in the
actions either Of Governor Pleasant or
Mayor Behrman of New Orleans. The
few appointments made by the Cover
nor have been so we'll selected, and with
such care to efficiency as we'll as to po-
litical affiliation, that there has been no
criticism and it augurs we'll for the fu-

Mayor Behrman and his associates on
the Commission Council will go in un-
opposed, for their record has been such
as to prevent opposition. As a "pro-
fessional" mayor, on the job every day
and night, Mayor Behrman is conceded
to be, not merely the best New Orleans
has ever had, but one of the best in the
United States. He will 60 in for his

Behrman's hand is open to all men. and
his pocket to far more than he can af-
ford. Much of his salary goes back to
the people in contributions to public
movements and charities, while his
private charities are innumerabIe. The
people of New Orleans view the fourth
term of Martin Behrman with equan-
unity and decided satisfaction.

such an extent that We do not fully en-
Joy the living We get.
It i important that We earn and re-
eeive . living commensurate with our
existence. The head Of 4 family feels
the responsibility for those dependent
upon him. To Be negligent or indolent
in this would Of course be unpardon-
able. But what is fully - important ~
making a living is making 4 life.
Doubtless if we would give more
time to enjoying he living we would
find that what we produce is far more
efficient in providing the comforts Of
life than we supposed. If we would d.
vide our attention with ways and means
Of living we would find that even .
small income from the farm may afford
comfortable living and a happy home.
A large income may not do this.
Wealth, As impodtant as it is, does not
afford pleasure and comfort unless it
cntributes to making a life. It il char

MOTORISTS BY MYRIADS HEARK-

WEEK CALL.
Chicago, Aug. 6.-National Touring

Chicago, Aug. 6.-National Touring
Week is now in full swing.
With the late hours this afternoon
1 thousands of motorists were abroad on
the roads of the nation wheeling to the
open and the beauty spots of their home
state. From early dawn to evening va
cationists were setting forth from home
by automobile, bent on tours of that
part of our country that lay nearest
their hearts.
While no estimate of the number of
vacationists, who today left on motoring
tours can be made at this early date,
it is generally believed that the numbe,
for the country will go far above a
hundred Thousand. Reports from all
sections of the country, obtained from
hotels and garages, declare that this
Sunday outstrips in automobile travel
anything the nation has ever seen in
the way Of touring.
Branch offices of the B. F. Goodrich
Company, which fathered the National
Touring Week idea and gave it to
American motordom, are keeping a care
full watch on the number of motorists to
observe the official motoring vacation.
While their reports are yet in the max
ing, their early messages bear testi-
mony to the nationwide response to the
call of the road, and week dedicated
to touring the home state.
From all points comes the word of
zoads busy with streams of motor cars
bearing parties on vcation tours. Bags
and automobile trunks reveaol the tour
ing intent of the travellers.
The missionary work Of National Tour
ing Week has been widespread in it,
appeal and deep in its ramifcations.
Beginning with "See America First by
Seeing Your Own State First" and en-
listing the Buy Your Car Now idea, it
won the mighty forces Of the Good
Roads legion. Cox. Hiram johnson Of
California, . state that has set . pattern
for otherstatss with an enghteen-million

Touring Week and it, intimate associa-
ton with good roads, and named We'd
