Ess Easy Solution

The esteemed Lake Charles American
Press announces that at the proper time
that paper will not forget the promise made
by the politicians to pass laws putting Off
Gals en- q salary instead Of fee basis.
We are not particular whether they ere
put an fee or a salary basis, but will back
up our influential contemporary on any sys-
TEN that can be inaugurated that will Sc
cure a competent man for each office. And
to do this the pay should be commensurate
with the responsibility and labor connected
with the office. The salary should 5e a
living wage for the man with moderate
tastes and habits, and never large enough
to make one feel that two-thirds of the
salary amounts to q sinecure.
The salary should be large enough to
make the Official Independent, and therefore
afford him no excuse to be dishonest.
On the other hand the salary should be
50 we'll balanced that no one, for the sake of
holding the Office and reaping its elnolu-
nents, would barther his friends and sell his
soul in order to get it.
No man will sacrifice honor to get an
Office where the pay simply equals the work,
but where the pay Is far above the work,
why that is another story.
Can the Lake Charles American-Pross
supply the figures that will fit these require
ments? II SO, we are heartily in accord.

SUGAR Champions

The efforts OF Mr.. Ransde!l in the third
district to convince the voters that the best
friend of the sugar interest is the demo
cratic party has aroused the ire Of Senator
Br0u3sar3 who rose up last week and made
some pointed remarks about his dis
tingllished colleague.
The north louisiana voters viii get
some amusement out Of the controversy
about ali they ever get from United States
Senator's
The basis Of the racket is the fact that
both Senator's claim credit Tor influencing
the President in the interest Of sugar.
We have always expected the worst
from Senator Broussard and DO not care
what happens to him, but cur heart goes
out in sympathy fer Senator Ransdell. We
never dreamed Of the travail, the tears aid
the supplications that he wasted in the
interest Of sugar, while his constituents up
in north louisiana were careles3ly knocking
about, not caring durn ABOUT sugar.
No voter in north Louisiana desires
that the sugar industry be injured, but if
i it has come to the point that our repre-
sentatives in congress must sacrifice all pc
liSical convictions in order to keep the third
district democrats loyal, why the time has
arrived when we can part company.
But we are drifting from the point we
started out to make. At the present time
1t may be a good policy for our Senators to
fawn and cringe in order to pacify the
questionable democrats Of the third district,
but when &his gubernatorial campaign is
over and Parker is retired to that private
life he loves so well, then Ransdell and
Broussard will live to regret the day on
which each We'd with the other for honors as
the champion Of sugar

The eighteenth Of April will be upon
the voters before they know it and it is not
out Of place to call their attention to the
Of so arranging business matters
that every voter can be On hand that day.
The small voting strength of Madison
makes it imperative that every vote should
be polled, in order that we may retain the
little prestige that we now enjoy.
Every man who voted in the primary
is in honor bound to go to the polls promptly
and stamp the rooster. Stamping the
rooster is vote for Pleasant for governor
and all the parochial officers.
Keep your record clear as a democrat.
Madison will always be democratic and if
you expect to have any influence in the
future, stamp the rooster.
The present law is so lax that you can
vote in democratic primary and then ago
but tie law will be amende i
It the next session of the legislature, so you
had best keep within the fold while the

Party Loyalty

Last week The JOURNAL referred to
what it considered was he duty Of tie
duty of the Madison parish, voters who
voted in the recent primaries and referred
to the fact that practically every eligible
voter in the parish had participated in the
primary. The moral obligation that the
voter thus assumed was set forth in Ian
guage as strong as The JOURNAL felt justi-
fed in using though the language used
was not as strong as the circumstances de-
manded in relation to such voters as enter
uained any intention Of shifting to the indie
pendent ticket.
When the voter registers and declares
that he is democrat, he solemnly declares
that he adopts that polticol creed as a
distinct entity, which means that he will
support the party and its nominees from top
to bottom. 1t does not give the voter the
right to go into the party primaries ard
nominate, Or assist in nominating, the eff
Gals whom he prefers, and then turn around
and oppose the remainder of the ticket.
Any kind Of decency demands that
when he puts his senator, or his sheriff, or
or his clerk over the other fellow, he is in
honor bound to support the other fellows
candidate for governor or other office. To-
get his own candidate through and then lay
down, to say nothing Of opposing the favor
lite of the other fellow, is welching of the
meanest kind. And that is just the atti-
tude that vo.er assumes who supports MIR.
Parker after having gone into the primary
for the purpose Of naming choice for the
several Offices.
No one cares tinker's cuss about the
few votes that Mr.. Parker may get in Madi-
son, for they can in no manner affect the
result, but we do care about the more seri-
Gus proposition of receiving fair treatment
at the hands of every voter who voted in
the January primary.
Good faith is essential to party disci-
pine and the voter should be forced to live
up to his implied obligations. If his politi-
cal faith is that type that permits him to
reap the advantages of one party and then
desert the party when the whim strikes
HIM, then the other members of the party
should be warned in advance. That is the
purpose of this article. The voters should &
keep strict tab on the men who violate their
obligations to the party in order that the i

other stars and satellites. To the
exact second they could tell when a
comet would appear in the heavens
even If it had not showed its spark
ling head for more than a century.
These are the men who figured even
before DR. Lowell's time that Mars
diurnal rotation of "a hours, 81 min
utes, 22.67 seconds, and a year Of
1868 days.
DR.. Lowell was the man who de-
parted from the exact figures, at least
as far as the lay public was con-
cerned, and dressed his work in some
thing that appealed to the imagina-
ton. He inhabited the planet Mars
with a particular class of people
which he called the Martians. No
one has yet seen a Marian, although
at times the fiction writer's and play
wrights have given us samples of
what might be the Girl from Mars.
DR.. Lowell used his telescope to great
advantage when he discovered the
canals of Mars in 1909. Those linear
markings on this planet which appear
double at certain seasons and which
were known previously as Schia-
parellian canals proved under the
watchful eyes Of DR.. Lowell to be the
great irrigation system by which the
Martians were redeeming their arid
lands. Some day an aviator will ira
verse the distance between Mars and
Earth just as birdmen now go from
Chicago to New York, and then we
shall know the true relation between
Flagstaff, Arizona and Mars, between
DR.. Lowell and the Martians. At any
rate, there should be sorrow today
on Mars.

sives and gave countenance to the
bargain arranged by Mr.. Perkins with
the old line leaders. We Will not at
tempt to say in what form the history
of the past four months would have
teen written had he boldly kept his
word to the party of his own creation
and remained their leader. We are
confident Mr.. Hughes would have seen
no crisis in the life of the country
which demanded his resignation from
the supreme court of the United
States and we are by no means sure
that Colonel Roosevelt would not to-
day be the president-e of the
country.
1t is pure conjecture whether the
Colonel has a future in politics.. His
usefulness rested upon the larger I'M
derstanding he had of political re-
sponsibility 1t was he who gave en-
phatic expression to the moralities Of
the republic. He now has to deal with
a man who matches his sermons with
performance, and who is quite likely
i'll the next four years to establish the
country on a basis of political moral
i7Y to the extent of eliminating the
further need of the Colonels services.
We venture the prediction that the
Colonel is out of politics.

State BY state.
Waterbury Republican,

Neither for prohibition nor for
ment seem necessary. Slowly but
surely the gain is being made state by
state. In twelve states women were
voting on November 7. South Dakota
has swung definitely into the suffrage
column, making thirteen. This raises
number of states voting from TWEEN
ty-five per cent, of the while to
twenty-seven. Moreover, the add1-
ton of each state to the suffrage col
umn adds to the chances of other
states, because it adds it's bit to the
general weight of public opinion on
that subject.
The prohibition gains are even more
striking. -Four states seem to have
been swung from wet to dry, making
the total twenty three, or nearly half
of the WI ole number.
The most startling gain in every
way is that of Micigan. 1t has always
been contended that states containing
large ecities would not go dry. Yet
Michigan, containing Detroit with it's
phenomenally growing population
now nearly 500. 900, has done it,
Moreover, Michigan is a heavy pro-
Queer of grapes
There is this in explanation, that
the newcomers who have doubled De-
troit's size in SO brief a time are chief
ly laborefs of a high degree Of skill.
Most of the automobile producers in
sist upon sobriety in their help. And
if man can't drink and keep his job
anyhow, what's the use of having sa-
looms around to tempt him? Just a
waste of mental energy resisting.
The New York World sees in the
heavy gain the coming dissolution Of
the prohibition party which is losing
it's one distinctive issue.'
The general conclusion is that as
fast as people really want reforms
they get them. Moreover when they
get them because the majority has
thought out the whole situation for
itself and decided in favor of the move
the reforms usually stick and prove
useful. The minority may try to vio-
late the law, but it cannot reproduce
the old conditions
State. by state woman suffrage and
prohibition are. making their way.
There is not much use opposing the
steady march of democracy and tenn

Our Own.

(By Margaret q. Sangster)
If I had known in the morning
How YEARLY all the day
The words unkind would trouble nv
mind
That l said when I went away
7 had been more careful, darling
Nor given you needless pain,
But we veX our own with look and
We may never take back again.
For though in the quiet evening
I may give you the kiss of peace,
Yet it might be that never for me
The pain at the heart should cease
How many go forth in the morning
Who never come home at night,
And hearts are broken by hard words
spoken
That sorrow can ne'er set right.
We have careful thoughts for the
stranger,
And smiles for the sometime guest,
But oft for our own the bitter tone
Though we love our own the best.
All! Lips with curse impatient.
All! Brow with that look of scorn,
'Twere a cruel fate were the night too
late
To undo the work of the morn,
