HOW TO JUDGE A MAN

The place to take the true measure of a man
is not the market place or the amen corner, not
the forum or the field, but at his own 1reside.
There he lays aside his mask and you may
learn whether he is an imp or an angel, king or
cur, hero or aumbug. We care not what the
world says of him-whether it crowns him with
jewels or pelts him witEbad eggs, we care never
a copper what his reputation may be. If his
babies dread his coming home and his better
half swallows her heart every time she asks
for a five dollar bill, he is a fraud of the
first water, even though he prays night and
morning till he is black in the face and bowls
hallelulah till he shakes the eternal hills

= PRESS OPINION
THE AUCTION

The NeWs-star has frequently directed atten-
ton to the custom, which seems to have obtain
ed a firm footing in some sections Of the state,
of buying and selling votes. There are those
who desiring to profit at the expense of the sew
eral candidates, have organized what are COM
monty called 'sold field clubs, the principal OBJ
ject of which questionable organization is, APP
p~arently, to get as much money as possible from
the candidates who are unsophisticated enough
to submit to being seduced and robbed by those
voters who seem to think the right of franchise
was extended them in order that they might sell
their votes to the highest bidders. At least
judging from the past experience of some candi-
dates, we are forced to the conclusion that some
voters-the organizers Of such clubs as the "old
field clubs'-have no higher conception of right
and manhood than to sell their votes like so
many hogs, at SO much per head.-Monroe

PEASANTS PARTING REMINDER

AS a parting reminder, Governor Peasants
last act as attorney general was to file suit in
the civil district court of New Orleans asking
that the charter of the New Orleans Insurance
Exchange be annulled because the corporation is
a monopoly and is seeking to drive all persons
who are not members out of the insurance bust
ness. The petition charges that the purpose of
the organization is to secure a monopoly of the
insurance business in Orleans, Jefferson and st.
Bernard parishes, and that in fuftherance of
such object 800 independent agents have been
forced out. The case will be watched with
much interest in other cities of Louisiana where
similar organizations exist.-Lake Charles Amer

LATE COTTON PLANTING

4. M. Vogler, president of the Louisiana
Crushers' Association, not discouraged by his
recent turn down by the United States Agricul-
tnral Department, is consistent in his plea for
late cotton planting.
Mr.. Vogler claims to have given the matter
careful and serious consideration. His ~conten-
ton is well based, according to many cotton
growers, who have taken time To consider his
topic.
While United States Agriculturists are OPP
posed to late cotton planting, many cotton plant
es believe like Me-. yogler, and have tried late
planning, succeeding in many instances.
The boil weeyil problem have been the most
serious one Southern farmers have had TO con-
tend with. They have tried early planting, but
have failed to remedy conditions
III ST Landry farmers have tried late plant
ms ID certain localities; most Of those who have
tried y claim that The dreaded pest did not
bother them to any great extent. Hence it
would appear that the theory and practice of
early planting does not work together, whereas
Mr.. yogler's theory appears to be more practi-
cal. despite the refusal of Federal experts to
give it 4 trial.
Speaking Of late planting Mr. Vogler at the re-
cent annual convention Of the association Of
which he is president at New Orleans said:
Figures | have gathered after probing into
the boil weeyil situation convince me that in
March 1921 Will be found where 65I may De
found in April. on May 1, 81 will be found and on
Mas Is. only 49,

II FEE SYSTEM

Two tentative propositions to meet the de-
mand Of The people on the question have been
presented to the legislature, one by Mr.. SchWlng,
of Iberyille and the other by Mr.. Stewart OF
calcasieu and there doubtless will be others
when the Governor has indicated his W REM
edy.
Mr.. schwing's bill does not abolish fees, but
reyises them and puts a maximum upon the
income of officials now under the fee system.
Mr.. Stewards bill proposed definite salaries
based on the wealth and Importance OF each
parish. y q.
IL probably will be found impracticable TO
abolish all fees. To do so would not unlikely
cause embarrassment to parishes which would
be called upon to increase their tax levy IN Or
der to meet the salaries of officials and their
deputies. But under the new dispensation there
is no reason why they should not be curtailed
in number, reduced in amount and the whole
increment turned into local treasures and fixed
non-fee salaries provided for the officials, as
contemplated by Mr.. Stewards bill.
One of the bones of contention over the new
legislation will be the time when it shall be-
come operative. Mr.. Schwing's bill sets June
/, 1917, as the date. Mr.. Stewart would make
tae new law effective with the expiration Of the
terms for which the new officials were electGf.
Political opponents Of the administration are
setting up the cry that anything less than in
slant effectiveness of the new law would mean
that the people were to be tricked and the law
repealed as soon as the issues of the campaign
are forgotten.
But there is good ground for the argument Of
the Lake Charles American Press, always al
lied with the reform element, that to follow the
line Of the Schwing bill would be an injustice to
the parish officers, who made their campaign on
the basis Of the old income and give the officials
a reason for trying to defeat the legislation
which they might not otherwise have.
If the people of Louisiana says The Amer
lean Press, can wait thirty years for the de-
struction of a system that sucks the blood of
the taxpayers, they can surely wait three years
more for the law to become effective
It is absurd to argue that there is going to be
a reaction in popular sentiment on the fee sys-
lem. The people have made up their minds that
will no longer tolerate the princely incomes
which both the progressive and democratic
sheriffs have been enjoying. What they want
is a law on the subject which will fix som def
mite time when the salaried system shall go into
effect, and if the General Assembly in its wis
dom should determine to accept the principle of
he Stewart bill no member of the legislature nor
'fiicial will be elected who does not absolutely
himself to refrain from any attempt 70

TOO CHEAP

Some members have sprung a new idea on the

to abolish the Office of tax collector entirely and

did results. -Ruston Leader.
