A NYWAY, Rear Admiral CRAYsoN is as much
"A entitled to his new honors as some to the
title of statesmen.
THE appropriation of $l,O0O,O0O for the
4 University of Tennessee was money ex-
ceedingly we'll expended.
L'IRST, he could handle the situation without
L the assistance of Congress. Now, he is up
a tree and calling for he p.
TN thus putting burden upon the railroads,
l those brotherhood men need not be sur
prised if it reacts upon them,
IF THE Governor had been as true to party
l pledges as he would have his Legislature to
be. there wouldn't be such hole in the State
treasury.
THE main reason why the last Congress did
L not pass tariff law was that it would give
the lie direct to Democratic teaching for past
fifty years.
old GLORY, the flag our forefathers shed
- their precious blood to preserve, has been
desecrated. Haven't we the manhood to resent
this outrage?
IF Senator CUMMINGS collapsed before New
L York audience while attempting to defend
his action in the Senate, what will he do before
home folks?
WERE some of these would-be candidates for
w the Supreme Court bench to inclose $lO
note in their epistes, more attention, possibly,
could be given them.
WHEN the Chattanooga Times calls CARRANzA
w an old incompetent, one can not help
thinking what glorious Democrat he would be
we're he an American citizen.
THE. success of those cabinet officials in the
L strike muddle leads many to believe that
more of the Presidents business could be
turned over to them with safety.
TN submitting to bare-faced holdup, it looks
L like the railroads put the welfare OF the
welfare of the country before the better Judg-
ment of the officials. 1t was fine and patriotic
action.
A SPECIAL session of the United States Sen
a ate merely for the purpose OF confirming
batch of Democratic appointments clearly IN
dicates their conception of what they were
elected for.
THE hardest slap the President has yet been
handed was the remark by Ambassador
GERARD that he was shocked at our lack OF
preparedness during the past two years But
didn't he know that the President had to be re-
elected, regardless of all else?

AS MUCH attention should be given to the
"A raising of foodstuffs, this year, as to build
ing battleships.
THAT the ultimate consumer will have to pay
l the expense of the brotherhood demands
is beyond question.

IN hour day, let's see what they do with it.
1t may rise up to plague them.
MIR. BRYAN and his peace-at-anyprice gang
lVI seem to have "swunk" up. There is
limit to the patience Of the people.
IF eight hours constitute days work, it is not
out of the province of the railroads to de-
mand that full time shall be put in.
HEADLINE says U-boat chasers will be ready
LII in two months. Some more watchful
waiting that is liable to cost us dearly.
MONTHS ago, the sum of $ll5,OOO,OoO was
1VA appropriated to augment the navy, but
nothing has been done. Watchful waiting wins.
NTOW is the time for this Government to make
lN such preparations for defense as the world
never saw. The future safety Of our country
demands this.
yY7ATCHFUL waiting wins! 1t has won US
w great deal of contempt for allowing
Americans to be ruthlessly slaughtered without
raising hand.
rs IT possible that this Administration, after
L two years of watchful waiting, can not dis
tinguish the difference between an oAert act and
friendly salute?
WHAT was the President idea in delegating
wv to members of his cabinet the task OF
Strengthening out muddle he brought on for
political purposes?
THERE is no call from the people for pri--
mary law of any kind, and the efforts OF
scheming politicians along this line are bound
to meet with disaster.
OUR new rear admiral, CARRIE TEE GRAYsoN,
~ may now have chance to distinguish him

operations to dry land.
WILL it cause a threatened strike II the rall-
w roads shall discover that some OF the old
men are not capable of delivering the goods IN
eight hours and fill their places with younger

IF this Administration, which is making such

Morgan City May Soon
Have Palmetto Broom
Factory

Mr.. j. F. Thibodaux of Lafayette,
Ia, a representative of the Lafay-
cite Broom Company, was here this
morning to see Secretary Palmer of
the Chamber Of Commerce concern
ing the establishment here of a fac
tory to make brooms Of palmetto
leaves. Mr.. Thibodaux had a made
up sample broom which had been
manufactured in the Lafayette fac
tory He claimed that the palmetto
leaf is as good as a broom made OF
broom straw and that it can be sold
FIR one-half the price. Mr.. Th;bo-
'laux seemed to thing that his COM
pany would locate factory here if
favorable location could be found.
He says that Morgan City is accessi-
BILE to exceedingly fine palmetto Sec
lions and that a palmetto broom
factory would create a market for a
thing that has been thought worth
less. The broom makers pay $1,000
a ton for green palmetto leaves and
will take all they can get at that
price. Thousands of tons of palmet-
tos can be obtained in this territory.

its regular June meeting at the City

already accomplished much good for
the communities it represents and
its usefulness and activity are ap-
parently just beginning. Hundreds
Of inquiries covering every phase Of
industrial conditions here are pour
ing into the secretary's office and in
dications are that this territory is on
the threshold Of a great commercial
development. Every member of the
Chamber of Commerce is an agent
and an important factor in the pro-
gress Of this territory and every
business man, property owner and
employee should welcome the privi-
lege of being member Of an or
ganization which is obviously being
conducted for his personal better
ment Of his home and community.

PREVENT WASTE

What are you doing to prevent
waste, in these war times? Mr..
Hoover, the food expert says, that
80 per cent Of the foodstuffs con-
sumed, in this country passes through
the hands Of women. Manifestly, the
warfare on waste, which is an inte-
grail part Of the warfare on Germany
must be made by them, if it is to be
made effectively. Few of US have any
conception, Of what could be accom-
plished by united and determined
effort to prevent waste. The most
ordinary individual would not think
the saving Of q slice Of bread or q
spoonful Of sugar, would amount to
anything, in fact hardly worthy Of
the cost, but think what it would
amount to if one hundred people Of
our nation, were united in this ef-
fort, to save this slice Of bread or a
teaspoonful Of sugar, the saving
would more than likely feed an army
Of considerable size. According to
Mr.. Hoover's remarks. The saving Of
single slice Of bread by the people
of this nation, for week, would
mean an increase in the supply of
wheat in this country over 100000
900 bushels. Such tactics on the part
Of the people would bring about a
sudden drop in food prices, that
would even shock the food specula-
