in question. If a regular term is I'M

If a great, prosperous, power
ful nation with navy numerong
enough to efectually guard its
ports, with regular army Of 250,-
900 men and 100000, reservists
in training should request another
nation to refrain from further in
fraction of international law, such
as robbing the mails, seizing and
converting to it's own use mer-
chant ships or dynamihng vessels
without notice and without pro-
vlding for the safety of passengers,
such request would be much m ore
apt to be granted than il made bya
nation without q navy equal to the
protection of its ports and with an
army as inadequate in numbers as
a corporaPs guard would be to re-
sist a regiment.
Preparedness for defense is ma
tional necessity; continued unpre-
paredness would be q national

in March next from ihe cares OF

may, in the faint hope OF averting
the adverse verdict which the
American people are prepared
to render in November against
him, exhibit come belated manli-
ness IN dealing with Mexico and
with the European .combatants.
But he is a man who has not the
courage of his convictions, and
who has few or no convictions that
call for courage. He has, to quote
Mr. Hughes, sacrificed the ma
tional interests to partisan expes

Mr.. Wilson's term nothing better
can be expected from his party

Judge Robert Roberts.

1t is seldom that the Signal Democrat
takes more pleasure in announcing the
candidacy of one of Webster's citizens
for Office than it does in the announce
ment of Judge Roberts for the Court
of Appeal
Here is man who has been tried
thoroughly as public officer, in the
several capacities of mayor, legislator,
member of the Constitutional Conven-
ton in 1913, and Judge of the court for
which he is now a candidate. In each
office he has proven an active, energetic.
painstaking servant of the people. His
record is absolutely clean and is mark
ed by an ability to always measure up
to the office. As Judge of the Court
of Appeal for the past year, he has
won the admiration of the bar of North
Louisiana, for the able and equitable
opinions he has handed down from the
bench. Having done so well and prov
en- himself, it is but fitting that the
people show their appreciation of his
efforts by keeping him where he has
so well served them.
The Democrats of Webster we are
sure will vote to maintain Judge Roberts
in his present position. Signal Demo-

four feet of the brick wall on one
side being up. The Hudson Con-
struction Co., of Alexandria, has
the contract for the building,
and is to finish it in one hundred
days from date of contract. They
have fifteen men now at work,
carpenters, mortar men, brick
masons, brick and mortar car
riers, etc., and expect to put two
or three more brick layers on
within the dext day or two.
The building will be two stories
high withan eight-foot basement.
1t will be nearly the size of the
building now standing, and will
resemble. it somewhat, except
that the brick will be laid in black
mortar.
