Noble Sentiments.

Lieutenant Governor Thomas G.. Barrett
yesterday issued the following statement:
81 have nothing further to say than that
the will of the Democratic majority of
Louisiana has been registered at the polls
and its verdict is in favor of my Democratic
opponent.
Sin the primary campaign stood for a
principle which, it seems, the people are
not yet prepared to adopt, but the seed has
been planted and the fruitage is simply a
question Of time. No defeat ever robbed
Beauregard of the honor of firing the first
shot, have plenty to occupy me and
feel no disappointment save for the cause
and its loyal friends.
1.-THE Democratic party has done too
much for me and for twenty years in the
State Senate have been too closely iden-
tilted with its preservation and growth for
me to even waver in my allegiance to that
party. Whenever and wherever that party
or its standard bearers are assaulted, | am
ready to answer as did David B. Hill: Il
am Democrat and am subject to the
party's command.
81 am deeply grateful to the many loyal
friends throughout the State who showed
me SO many courtesies and contributed so
much of their time and effort to my candi-
dacy and the cause which represented as
we'll as the loyal newspapers that supported
ME. | have sent my congratulations to
Col. Pleasant"

In our fight for Mr.. Barrett and Prohibi-
ton we have met with an overwhelming
defeat, but We have no regret for our &C.
ton, as the cause was just-its principles
eteFnal-and we went into it whole heart
edly and unselfishly, doing our utmost to
elect our able and gallant standard bearer.
The family fight is over. The Democratic
ranks are again solidly united, and the en-
tire Democratic ticket will be elected by a
majority that will surprise Mr.. Parker and
the measly bunch of Democratic deserters
who have gone into the Republican party.
All true Democrats-no matter how Bit
terly they may strive for the mastery
among themselves-reaize this State can
suffer 10 greater calamity than the exile Of
the Democratic party from power. Parker

In his inaugural address, Gov. Harring-
ton, Maryland new executive, pointed out
that the State faced deficit of 81, 500, 600
because of the present systems of appro-
priations and said that the establishment
of a budget system was matter of actual
necessity. The legislative expenses of the
State had been shown to be ''beyond any
necessity') a common occurrence in Lou
isiana) Gov. Harrington said. He urged
the enactment of laws making it impossible
for any succeeding Legislature to "again
transgress public deeency" in that respect.
Sound doctrine, but what is extravaganza
among friends, when the tax payer 'pays
the freight?'

Fabulous Reports.

Bastrcp Enterprise.l
Since December oath We have heard
stories of the shipments of booze from our
sister city of Monroe which, if true, might
well cause US to stand aghast: reports of
$4,000 shipments day from just one of
the numerous wholesale houses, coupled
with statements that over 500, 200 worth
was shipped out of Monroe during the first
half Of December, for instance. At that
rate Monroe should be rolling in wealth
and fairly stopping over with prosperity.
Yet you will find as much hard times talk
among merchants and bankers OF that city
as elsewhere. 1t seems that not every one
of the saloon men, even, is amassing a for
tune. - II.
Surprising that their own reports, hand
ed out for effect, are discounted fifty per
cent, the showing will still be enormous.
If Monroe manufacture the stuff she gets
at least three fourths of the proceeds, but it
appears that Louisville, St. Louis, and
other cities furnish the goods and get per-
haps half the proceeds to begin with.
The good people of Monroe"are finding
out, at last, that in real saloon city moth
| ing else can flourish but the saloon bust
ness, graft, and crime.
| And while the booze dealer brags on the
amount Of wreck and ruin he is able tc
dispense to the country for hundreds OF
miles around, these GOOD CITIZENS are bow.
ing their heads in shame for being acces.
series to such death dealing business sue.

Ezekiel.

O Israel, thy prophets are like the foxes
in the desert.-13, IA.
And the name of the city from that day
shall be, The Lord is there.-48, 35.
That they may be my people, and may
be their God, saith the Lord God.-12, ii.
He hath done all these denominations; he
shall surely die; his blood shall be upon
him.-18, is.
Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of
the father, so also the soul of the son is
mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die
10, 4.
Thus sayeth the Lord God; Repent and
turn yourselves from your idols; and turn
your faces from all your abominations.-
IA, 6.
And they shall be desolate in the midst
of the countries that are desolate, and the
cities shall be in the midst of the cities that
are wasted.-30, 7.
Yet say ye, Why? doth not the son bear
the iniquity of the father? When the son
hath done that which is lawful and right,
and hath kept all my statutes, and hath
done them, he shall surely live. The soul
that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not
bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall
the father bear the iniquity Of the son: the
righteousness of the righteous shall be
upon him, and the wickedness of the wick
ed shall be upon him. But if the wicked
will turn from all his sins that he hath com
mitted, and keep all my statutes, and dc
that which is lawful and right, he shall moi
die. All his transgressions that he hath
committed, they shall not be mentioned
unto him.-18, 1922.
But when the righteous turneth away
from his righteousness, and committetf
iniquty, and doeth according to all the
denominations that the wicked man doeth
shall he live? All the righteousness tina
he hath done shall not be mentioned: ii
his tresspass that he hath tresspassed, ane
in his sin that he hath sinned, in them shall
he die. Yet We say, the way of the Lore
is not equal. Hear now, O house of Israel
, Is not my way equal? are not your way
unequal? When righteous man turnetl
away from his righteousness, and commit
teth iniquity, and dieth in them; for hi
, iniquity that he hath done shall he die
Again, when the wicked man turneth ava.
from his wickedness that he hath commit
ted, and doeth that which is lawful an
right, he shall save his soul alive.-18, 24-27
