MAKING GOOD

With interest and pleasure we have
read numerous letters written home from
the military training camps by soldiers from
civil life. These letters are significant in
two respects that bear an important re-
lation to our selective CONSUMPTION army.
The first is that all these letters indicate
spirit of determination on the part of the
Individual members to fight this war out
with good cheer, showing that no resent
ment is felt by the Individual because of the
fate that has selected him to lay down his
life and opportunities at the call of the
pyernment.
4 Another source of pleasure is that the
letters indicate splendid feeling of har-
mony with the officers who have in charge
the training of these new men. Some con-
Germ has been felt that there would be a
rebellious feeling towards the officers, es-
pecially those recently turned out by the
training camps.
This spirit and happy cooperation Re.
tween privates and officers mean that the
selective draft will be great success and
that we will get together the most power
full fighting force that the world has ever
known. Our army will consist of officers
not afraid to lead and privales not afraid tt
follow even into the jaws of hell.

NO BLACK SHEEP

Congress will adjourn to-day after the
busiest session in it's history. The members
have been hard worked and have measured
up to the patriotic demands made on them
in this crisis of the nations affairs.
1t will he source of great satisfaction
to every loyal Louisianian to point to the
record of our delegation in Congress and to
credit its members with wise and patriotic
effort in the important measures upon which
the nations destiny has been at stake. No
member has been recreant to his duty to his
constituents or his country.
1t is hardly ever seemly to congratulate
public official on the performance of his
plain duty, but in the present instance
when so many men, raised to high honors
by the people, have so fagrantl betrayed
the II ust, it is not out of place to commend
those who have kept the faith.
The Journal cannot resist this opportu.
nifty to congratulate the entire delegation
on the faithful performance of its high obi
cation to the people.

THE TRI-PARiSH FAIR

A most successful session of the 1rl-
Parish Fair was closed yesterday. Not
withstanding the heavy burden resting on
the farmers in consequence of the harvest
ing of one of the largest crops the attend
ance was large and the visitors were enthu-
siastic and optimistic in regard to the future
of the Fair and the agricultural progress OF
the Louisiana Delta parishes.
The agricultural exhibits were not as
numerous as they were on previous meets.
This was due to two cause.-the want OF
time from harvesting and to the earllness
of the NEE ting many farm products being
still immature.
The planters realize that the money
spent for the Institution is returned many
times in the educational benft received by
the negroes of this section who have become
enthused with more progressive work. This
spirit is proven in the splendid character o.
the exhibits made by colored farmers an(

to make trouble fcr the government 1T the
same time most of the controversies are
settled by final appeal to the patriotism of
the members. This obedience to the patri-

is hope for settlement of the disagceements

SENATOR LAFOLLETTE

There is desire from many sections
for the expulsion of Senator Lafollette, and
many public gatherings have expressed this
desire by resolutions.
That the conduct of Lafollette has IN
fact amounted to treason there can be little
doubt but the conservative element IN the
Senate indicates that it is adverse to taking
such drastic measures, though the conduct
of the Senator is considered most reprehen-
sble.
This view will be generally concurred
in by that large number of citizens who are
reluctant to curtai independent thought and
speech so essential to democracy. The lg-
nominy attached to such betrayers OF the
publict trust will bring its own punishment.
The loss of the Senator's usefulness will be
appreciated by his constituents and in due
time he will reap his just reward by retire
ment to private life. This process, while
somewhat slow, will bring about proper
punishment for the offender, and at the
same time vindicate the republican System
government.
