An Exclamation.

AS a result of the shutting Off OF
electric current today, due to the
breakdown at the power plant last
evening, The Chief was unable to
operate its linotype until late hour
this afternoon, and hence consider
able amount Of matter intended for
publication in this issue is necessarily
omitted. All our presses as well as
our typesetting machine are driven
by electric power, and the lack OF cur
rent virtually put us out OF business
for nearly the entire day. We nave
done the best we could under the CIR
cumstances, and we ask our readers
and patrons to make the proper al
lowances for any shortcomings that
may be evident in this issue and for
the delay in publication.

A Quick Prom otion.

In its edition of Feb. the Bator
Rouge Chronicle-Democrat announced
that the editorial staff of the paper
heretofore composed of Fl. E. Johns
and e. D. Gianelloni, had been in
creased by the acquisition of Hayden
w. Wren as associate editor. In the
following weeks issue the name of
Mr.. Wren appeared as editor of the
paper, lone and singular, affording an
instance of unusually quick promotion
which seems to have been both de-
served and desirable. Mr.. Wren con-
Quoted the Ponchatoula Democrat for
some time with signal ability, and the
editorial columns Of the Baton Rouge
Chronicle Democrat bear abundant
evidence of the fact that they have
lost nothing in quantity or quality by
the change in the staff.

Baileys Change Their Base.

The newspaper Baileys, George A.
and James j., father and son, who
recently guided the destinies of the
Evangeline Banner and Plaquemine
Waves, have settled at Ponchatoula,
Tangipahoa parish, and established a
weekly journal called the Ponchatou-
la Guide. That they will endeavor to
guide the footsteps Of the Tangi-
pahoans in the paths of rectitude and
righteousness is a foregone conclu-
sion, and we wish them abundant
material as we'll as moral reward for
their efforts. They are good editors,
good printers and therefore good
citizens, and we commend them to the
people of Tangipahoa as worthy Of
confidence and support.

A great many good Democrats are
possibly asking themselves whether
the present may not be propitious
time to try the experiment Of subor-
dinating mere party and factional
coin Mtions to the good Of the state
so far as the governorship is con-
cerned and choosing the man who is
least fettered by political and parti-
san ties. AS the general assembly is
strongly Democratic there will be
no danger of Progressive or
independent governor running away
with the government, and the COM
petition between the executive and
legislative branches to gain popular
favor by doing the best things for the
commonwealth may inure decidedly to
the promotion of the public welfare.

Tennessee had straightout Re
publican governor along with a Dem
ocratic legislature and nobody suf-
fered from the combination. Louisi-
ana is assured of an overwhelmingly
Democratic general assembly for the
next four years, so why should any
Democrat apprehend disaster if Par
ker should happen to be elected gov
ernor? If his policies and recon-
mendations are not sound the general
assembly needn't permit them to be
carried into effect. If they are sound
the Democratic assembly should be
glad to indorse and adopt them.

7 Furnishing THE. MEXICAN
MIRDERERS.

The murderous Mexican bandits
led by Gen. Francisco Villa have had
their first taste of the retribution
that is destined to overtake them as
a result of the expedition of the
| United States forces into Mexico in
pursuit of the outlaws who recently
raided Columbus, New Mexico.
Four hundred American cavalry
men under command of Col. George
| A. Dodd, after seventeen hour drive
down the valley Of the Santa Maria
river, surprised Villas main forces at
San Geronimo ranch on Friday of
last week and scattered the 500 ban
dts in all directions, killing about
sixty Of them and Wounding many
others.
Gen. Villa, who is reported to have
been shot in the hip in a previous
fight with Carranzistas, escaped in a
carriage and is believed to have made
his way much farther southwark,
whittier the United States cavalry is
following him.
Just before the fight at San Ge-
ronimo the Villa bandits raided the
town of Guerrero and mastered the
172 Carfanza soldiers forming the
garrison, and this achievement was
being celebrated by the outlaws when
the avenging hand Of the United
States fell upon them.
Rumors to the effect that the
United States troops may be recalled
from Mexico at the request of the
Carranza government before the OBJ.
ject of the expedition has been fully
accomplished, have met with an en-
phatic denial from Secretary Lansing.
A CALL FOR PATRIOTIC SERVICE
Mayor Lemann has issued another
call for the election of municipal
commissioner Of finance. to be held
on the 9Th of May, and as yet there
are no announced candidates for the
vacancy.
It is imperative that the office be
filed, and some public-spirited citizen
possessing the necessary qualifica-
tons should be prevailed upon to per-
nit the use Of his name at the cleo
ton.
While it is true the position is pure
~ an honorary one and the duties
somewhat exacting, it would be hui
to reach the conclusion that |
there is not sufficient patriotism and
self-sacrifice among the capable citi-
zens Of Donaldsonville I'd afford MAJ
terial for three city commissioners.
Mayor Lemann and Commissioner
Milano are giving their time and la
oors freely in the public service, and
hey should be joined and aided by
commissioner Of finance.
Who IS the citizen who will honor
himself by volunteering to assume
he honorable duties and response
,ilities of this place for the benefit Of
he community?

dence that what they are going to

first Methodist society in America {!
This is the question to settle which
official representatives of the three
Methodist denominations in the Unit
ed States have assembled in this city
for three days conference. The
question has long been in dispute.
Maryland claims that the honor of
having founded the first Methodist So
ciety in this country belongs to Rob,
ert Strawbridge, who was a resident
of this state. Rival claims have been
set up by New York in behalf of
Philip Embury, Of that state. DR.. John

Methodist Historical society, will pre-
sent the Strawbridge side for Mary
