SATURDAY, JAN. II, 1918

Politics are commencing to grow
activ. and warm IN the rhird Con-
gressi onal District. We note from
The New Orleans Timcs-Picayun"
that there is great probability that
Congressman Whit. P. Martin will!
meet with eerious opposition for
the nomination for Congress be-
fore the Democratic primar this
year Those prominently spoken
If now to enter the role are Judge
W. e. Baker, the present Judge
of the 23rd Judicial District. and
Hon. Wilson T. Peterman, both OF
st. Mary. These gentlemen are
opponents fully worthy Of Ju1g
Martins steel. They are abe,
worthy and strong with the PEG.
pie Of the district:
Several names are being Goa.
sidered am )rg the list Of men that
might be available as Graduates
Among those mentioned are Wade
Martin, sheriff o. ST Martin parish,
who WAS a candidate against Con
gresham Whit Martin in 1916: w. Z.
Baker. of ST. Mary. judge of the Dis
lrict Court. and w. Il. Pcterman, for
ner sheriff Of st. Mary parish, ana
manager for John ". Parker in 1916 ~
The rimes-Picayune also states
hat there is probability of a
statewide org,niz alton being
formed within the Democratic
party ard has the following:
1.-The movement started some time
ago to form statewide organization
within tbs Democratic party is besia-
mag to take q more definite shape
According to the gossip and ,ak
around the Hobbies Of the New Or
lc.us hotels it is the general opinion
that til organization will be formal
ty launched when the Leg stature con-
venr~ at Baton Rouge ia May. THIS
time wl' be selected for launching the
orya, .xation because the session Of
the Leg stature will bring macy Of the

a finer, cleaner, braver army neye-
trod this earth than that which left
our shores. That army was the edge
of that mighty blade which democracy
forged to forever cut the world loose
from autocracy. You are the metal
that is to hold that edge true, with
out the strength behind it the edge is
worthless. You are just as much a
part of that army as the boy who IS
stationed in the farthest outpos!

WHAT ARE YOU DOING
TO HELP UNITED WAR WORK!

When the boys get back, from fight
ing for you ''over there, what are you
going to tell them, when they ask
what did you do for us over here?
Are you going to hang your head
in shame (and all who do not give
opght toy because you cannot tell
them that you sent your dollars to
bring cheer and comfort to them over
in that strange land?
Do you realize that if you sent
those homeless boys, who have riskci
their lives that you enjoy the comfort
and prosperity that only security can
bring, every dollar you have and then
earned as much more and sent it, and
continued to send in the same way,
that you would never be able to re.
pay the debt you owe them?
Would you close your door and re.
fuse any of them the comfort a few
hours in your home would give them
You would not. Yet refusal to make
for them the nearest thing to home
that they have on the battlefield or IN
the camp is equivalent to telling them
that there is no place for them by

AN APPEAL FROM THE W0MAN's
DIVISION OF THE NATIONAL
COUNSEL OF DEFENSE.

The people of America, as one now
are rejoicing today over the victories
of our army over seas and the pros
pect of permanent peace. We have
right to rejoice, with pride for United
States soldiers are our own boys,
they belong to us, and we belong to
them. They have given all for US and
they can justly claim by the law of
reciprocity our all for their support
and their needs. But joy and pride
are not the only emotions which
should find a place in our hearts and
control our actions in this greatest
day in the history of our country.
sympathy for the fathers and mothers
and loved ones of those gallant boys
who have made the supreme sacrl-
fee should be found there. Thanking
and praise to the God of battles, the
supreme Ruler of the Universe for
the success of Our arms should be
there and gratitude to those noble
bows who were used of God to make
the world a better place for the COM
ing of His kingdom, and Who by their
gallant conduct have added new lustre
to Americas name and have written
in letters Of blood the most glorious
chapter in our nations history. But
emotion without corresponding action
is simply lost powder. One is rather
the worse for aroused emotions unless
action follows. This has been and
is still the day of action. Our boys
after more than a year of TERRIFIC
strain have helped to bring to a Gil
max this terrible world tragedy; now
relaxation is coming in a measure 10
them and they have richly earned It.
The graves in Flanders fields and
in old oceans depths and on many
a hillside, and the gassed anl MANNED
victims who have lived 70 tell the taie
all proclaim this.
What is our plain duty and our
great privilege towards. these boys?
We have always stood by them. shall
we fail them now when the great in
centfve to action has been removed
and when by relaxation and reaction,
physical, mental and moral they are
more liable to yield to the temptations
spread on every hand? They will he
subject as never before to all kind
Of snares and pitfalls. They call on
us to give. them something better and
something that will keep them in close
touch with the hearth-fres burning

everything but mother" And we can
safely say that the faithful Y. M c.

very best substitute to be had for
even mothers.
The United Wark Work Compaisn
now on gives just the opportunity we
need,. for who of us would not be glad
to give our best for the pulift of the
boys in camp, but so few can go, but
every man, woman and child can give,
and those who do not should hang
their heads in shame. Some one has
said that the real honor roll of loyal
citizens will be the roll of those who
have given to this cause when We
have nothing personal to gain. But is
there not something grander than per-.
sonal gain in bending every effort and
giving every possible dollar to shield
our boys and bring them back home
as they went overseas, the cleanest
army in the world.
