If YOU leave an article for publ
cation with The Deview be certain
that your name is made known to
the editor or the Office man. If the

On Friday The Review was mott
fled by telephone of certain grie-

unknown party was asked for his
name but no name was given. The
alternative was then suggested of
writing out the item and mailing it
to The Review over his signature.
This was promised and the mail this
morning brought the promised item
but did not include the name of the
writer. This precludes its publica-

that the item was in the nature of
a complaint against another. This
incident is mentioned as an illustra-
ton of the methods to be avoided

The Review is anxious to get the

as offering its columns as a clearing
house for the people who have some
personal grievance to thrust upon
the public. Subscribers pay for news
and not personal quarrels, resent
ments or misunderstanding. The
Review unhesitatingly and unquali-

scriber or not, who has some idea to
advance which is intended to in any
way advance the best interest of the

be published from the contribute
tions received, the editor reserves
the right to decide. But one thing is
certain, whether the article is con-
sidered printable or not, before it is

A struggling family lose their

constant fear haunts her with a
great unhappiness.

From the Item:

The Association of Comm cree has
sent to editors, chambers of com
merce and members of congress
from states in the Mississippi valley a
letter pointing out the necessity of
quick action by congress on pending
measures vital to the valley. Among
these are the appropriation neces-

The letter follows:
"The interest Of every human be-

The headquarters 'of the Boy
Scouts of Morgan City presents
patriotic appearance. Numerous
flags are flying and the Scouts are
looking about for other methods of
evincing their patriotism. Mr.. c. S.
Gray has furnished the Boy Scouts
with number Of painted banners,
among them a picture in national
colors of Uncle Sam, also a picture
of Abraham Lincoln and the God
dess of Liberty. There is also de-
picted a warning against indiffer-
ence in a sketch entitled "Let
George Do It," This picture shows a
youth with his hands in his pockets
and a carefree pose who seems in
clined to shift to any other human
being his own responsibilities.
Over the heads of passers-by
along the main streets of Morgan
City Old Glory waves. The country's
crisis has touched the imperishable
chord of patriotism in every Ameri-
can breast and today the citizenship
stands tense and ready. Not all have
awakened to the import of the con-
gressional dictum. Not all have re-
sponded with cheers or flying col
ors. But the flags unfurling in ever
Increasing numbers mark the spread
of the contagion. Before another
forty-eight hours has passed, let
every citizen show by flag or other
act that he stands solidly behind the
President and is ready to respond to
the call in whatever shape it may
come.
On the eleventh Of this month,
the ladies of Morgan City are to
meet and discuss the possibilities
for active assistance to the Govern
ment in carrying on the war now de-
clared against Germany. They make
no reservations. They offer whole
heartedly and sincerely every facil
ity they may possess to their coun-
try. Might it not be in line for some
one familiar with the undertaking
or possessed of the enthusiasm and
necessary patriotism to quickly or
ganize a protective body of young
men of the community? Are the
ladies to lead in unselfish and unre-
stricted offers of help alone?
800 citizens contributing an
average of twenty-five dollars
year each toward the advancement
of the social and economic interests
of this territory would supply the
funds for each purpose. Less will
not do it adequately. More could be
wisely expended. NOTHING is now
being done. Does it strike you as
impossible? Does it strike you as
useless? Are you satisfied?
