NO EASY STRUGGLE.

in the war Of 1917 the hcu,n
ming of the struggle between th'
United States and Mexico was not
unlike the present preliminary
clashes. General Taylor IL hia
arduous campaign against Mont
Grey had 1000 men, but even after
the capture Of Monterey and The
victory of Bucna Vista. he was
confronted with such difficulties
in the southern advance that it
was finally decided to abandon
the campaign in that quarter.
Shortly aftcrward Taylor's for
ces were reduced to about 5000
men and the real invasion Of Mex
leo was made by General Winfield
Scott bv way Of Vera Cruz. An
army Of 10000 men captured
Vera Cruz after siege lasting 90
days. Fewer men were used to
capture the city two years ago
and siege lasted only few hours.
The march into the interior was
delayed for month because
SCOTS army was deficient in
transportation facilities. The
first battle fought at Cerro Gordo
resulted in victory for the Amer
leans. Scott pushed on to Pue-
bio. where he was compelled to
wait for two months for reinforce
ments. BY the time he was ready
to start 10000 Mexican troops had
been drawn up to defend the city
of Mexico.
General SCOTS march from
Vera Cruz occupied six months.

SENSATIONAL ROT.

A recent trial in Fort Worth
resulted in a great quantity Of
testimony being published in the
daily papers which should by all
means have been omitted.
Stories of degenerates and the
life Of the underworld barred in
the court rooms have no place in
the columns of respectable news.
papers. That these shameful af-
fairs are featured in the papers
: thrOughorA the country is due to
the public demand. In an effort
to satisfy the morbid curiosity of
the average reader the papers un-
questionably work a great evil,
poisoning the minds of children,
imparting information that should
be suppressed.
At a recent trial in Oklahoma
letters fairly reeking with filth
md vulgarity were introduced in
evidence. So vile were these let
ters that the attorneys in the case
were covered with confusion when
ordered to read them in the
presence Of some five hundred
women from all walks of life
who crowded the court room
And when it was suggested that
the women leave the court room
all save five or six remained.
The decent element Of this state
and country should united in an
effort to secure q new order of
things.
A criminal who scatters poison
about the streets would be
mobbed.
Newspapers print column after
column Of sensational rot that is
taken into the homes Of the most
refined people to be absorbed per-
haps by little children who should
never know such things.
We are old-fashioned enough to
believe that . clean mind is az es-

THAT'S WRONG.

! Whether people do things ig
norantly or maliciously frequent
ly the same effect is brought
about; people are placed under a
misapprehension of the real
facts. and the truth is therefore
denied them. Take, for instance,
this ridiculous peddling to the ef-
feet that Governor Pleasant is
responsible if some people are
paying licenses now with penal.
ties. for three years past, because
it was not paid before. Nothing
is further from the truth. Ig-
norance of the law excuses no
one. 1t has been the law since
1893, Act III, and Act 1O3 Of
1900, that the licenses now being
collected should have been col
lected in 1899, in 1900, and the
sixteen years subsequent there
to. Therefore, those to whom
the collection Of licenses was en-
trusted, the sheriffs in the diff
ferent parishes were responsible,
and it was their duty to know
from whom to collect licenses.
The people were not excused from
the payment, because not asked,
they are paying the penalty now
because not then asked. 1t is
therefore more reasonable to
blame the sheriff for the condition
presenting itself today than Gov
ernor Pleasant, who was not in
Office at any time during the per-
iod for which the licenses are now
being collected. When Governor
Pleasant took his Office on May
18th last. the licenses now being
paid, and most Of the penalties,
even the 1916 licenses, were al.
ready due and exigible. and some |
had been due three years prev.
ious, in fact. but for prescription !
Is years licenses and penalties |
could be exacted; Pleasant was
not Governor Is years ago. ToI
argue along such lines is ridicu-
|ous to cay the least. demonstrates
want Of knowledge on the subject,
md readiness to place the blame
where it is known it belongs the
collector Of taxes. for failure to
collect. or for failure to advise
himself a. to what the law is, and
rom whom licenses must be COL
lected. Had licenses been col
ected when it should have been
solicited the individuals would

lcted.-Thibodaux Commercial.
