A FINE TRIBUTE TO JOHN NJ.
PARKER.

Nearly 500 citizens from various
parts of Louisiana and Mississippi
gathered at the New Orleans Ath-
eneum last Monday night to take part
in a brilliant banquet rendered to
John NJ. Parker, defeated independ-
ent candidate for governor of this
state at the April election and Pro
gressive candidate for vice president
of the United States at the Novem-
Der election of 1916. The affair was
perhaps the most notable of its kind
ever given in honor of citizen OF
Louisiana, and it's most outstanding
and significant feature was the lau.
dation of the spirit Of personal and
political independence so consplcu-
ously illustrated and exempllfled IN
the life and public career of the hon.
oree of this unique function.
Such independence has not been
particularly popular in this state since
the civil war, and some of the most
prominent figures and speakers at the
Parker banquet were men who had
previously been habitually Jealous
and severe in condemnlng lndepend..
ent thought or action on the part OF
members of their own political party.
1t must be emembered, however,
that the most recent manifestation OF
Mr.. Parker's characteristic tendency
was his refusal to join the Progressive
majority in supporting the Republl-
can nominees for president and vice
president, ana his open and vigorous
advocacy of the reelection of Presl-
dent Wilson. If the distinguished
Louisianian's independence had as
sumed a different angle, and II ne
had contributed to the defeat rather
than the success Of the Dewocratlc
national ticket, it is not lkely t5at
he would have been wined and dlned
at the Atheneum, and still less likely
that certain leading guests would
have graced the festive board with
their presence or contributed the
sound of their voices to the resonant
oratorical flood that poured forth IN
honor of our states typical lndepend-
ent on this happy and ausplclous oc-
casion. =,
Former Governor Luther E. Hall
was given an enthusiastic greeting
when. as chairman of the reception
committee. he rose to introduce AS
sociate Supreme Justice Charles A.
O'Niell as postmaster; and scarcely
less demonstrative was the reception
accorded the popular occupant OF the
supreme bench-something QAan In
dependent at times himself the
wav-when he stood in res to
the introduction and star le
rhetorical pyrotechnics with :
dress that flashed with eloquencelt
and genial humor.
The enthusiasm of the diners reach
ed it's climax, however, when the
toastmaster concluded his speech by
presenting John M. Parker and the
latter took the floor to express mhis
sof the high honor b&pg
paid him ann to reiterate his d-
tion to the cause of liberty, indepef
ence and the best interests of tH
country and state. We hope to fin

Of superiority in favor of that which

The mere formulation Of these
schemes, however, WILDE Of no service

up IN practical way. Several others
have been drawn up during the last
eighteen months, but they have been
pigeonholed or abandoned after long
academic discussion. There is danger
that We may continue to drift along and
do nothing unless the President him
self assumes the leadership and gets

is of course absurd to suggest that the four pan

could be done the Kanawha county gentlemen who
