Drastic Penalty for Disloyalty

The sedition bill, earnestly advocated by the
department of justice and patriots generally as
an effective measure for the punishment of dis
loyal acts and utterances of unpatriotic citizens
and German propagandists, has passed the sem
ate. The bill is in the form of an amendment to
the espionage act.
The most drastic section of the measure is d.
rected against those who:
"Willfully UTTER print, write, or publish any
disoyal, profane, scurrilous, contemptuous, or
abusive language about the form of the govern
ment of the United States" or the constitution,
military, or naval forces, uniform or flag of the
country.
The measure is broad enough to include pun
ishment for persons who interfere or attempt to
interfere with war loan campaigns of the gov
eminent, or production of necessities of war, and
for those who support the cause of Germany and
her allies in the war.
Offenses against the act are punishable with
fine of $4,000 or imprisonment of twenty
years, or both.
The measure now goes to the house for pass
age.
The speedy enactment Of the law is desired by
the country. The senate wasted many days in
debating the measure. The temper of the Amer
lean people today brooks little interference with
our military program and war purposes. Citi-
zens demand law broad enough in its scope to
include propagandists and spies, and drastic
enough in it's punitive features to infct punish
ment that will make the country unhealthy for
any one excepting loyal citizen
If this law receives the signature of the presi-
dent, the department of justice will have an in
strument which it can WELD effectively against
the men and women of this country who love the
Kaiser more than they do their own flag.

Editor New iberia Enterprise.
New liberia, La:
Dear Sir-To aid in advertising

following concerning a Louisiana

"Alton H. Chidester, son of
Archille A. Chidester of East Bat

now in training camp Of Marines

Gently.
Private Chidester left Baton
Rouge on the 18th of November
last and has about completed his
training, he has just qualified on
the Rife Range with the modern
Springfield rife as sharpshooter
which is quite creditable for a
youngster Of 20 years.
Chidester states that he would
advise any young man who can
to enlist in the Marine Corps as
they receive nothing but the best
Of food and excellent treatment
and he thinks that it will be only
short time before he will be
representing this section of the
country in the worlds greatest
war either on land or sea. The
training in the Marine Corps must
be good as Chidester has gained
1S pounds since his enlistment.
Men who registered under the
draft act may enlist If they OBJ
tain q certificate from the Chair
man Of their local Board saying
they will not be needed in the
next call for men. also men be-

NOTICE TO OUR READERS.

When you have finished peru
sing this number of the New iberia
Enterprise, kindly take time to
reflect to see il you are in arrears
for your subscription. The paper
on which this issue was printed
has cost us approximately i've
times more than it did three
years ago, and for that reason we
can no longer send out papers 70
any one who does not pay prompt
ly at the end Of the year. or in ad-
vance as subscriptions should be
paid. Within the past two years
over four hundred periodicals or
newspapers have been suspended
entirely on account Of the manip-
ulations of the paper trust and
the fact that we have no protec-
ton from this monopoly by the
powers at Washington. Those
papers that have not been sus-
pended have advanced their sub
scription to $500 per annum in
nearly every town in the United
States and no copies are sent out
hut what they are paid in ad-
vance. This we do not wish to
do. neither do we wish to be
forced into bankruptcy by print
ing hundreds of copies weekly
with no prospects Of being paid.
We would therefore request every
one now in arrears to send in a
check. or the equivalent in cash,
or else their name will be dropped
from our subscription list. We
can no longer make an exception
with anyone who has not settled
for the paper.

EXPORT TO SPAIN CUT OFF.

Washington, Jan. 31.-Because
of certain conditions in Spain,
which the government considers
are to advantage Of Germany and
discriminatory to the United
States and the allies. the war trade
board today ceased to issue licen-
ses for export of merchandise to
that country and held five ships
about to sail for Spain.
This effectually embargoes all
shipments to that country. The
reasons have not been fully dis
closed. but it is known that the
state of exchange rates with
Spain at present is causing
American business men to pay a
high premium Of their commercial
transactions with that country.
Recently when General Perish
ing was authorized to buy 100000
blankets in Spain for American
troops, and attempted to buy
other merchandise. some influence
suspected Of being German inter-
wened. Other incidents convince
the government there of German
activity. Measures similar TO
those recently adopted toward
other European neutrals are in
preparation.

aches come from torpid liver and
clogged bowels, which cause your stom-

bage in swill barrel. That's the first
step to untold misery--indigestion, foul
gases, bad breath, yellow skin, mental
fears, everything that is horrible and
nauseating. A Cascaret tonight will

About Constipation.

Certain articles Of diet tend to
check movements Of the bowels.
The most common Of these are
cheese. tea and boiled milk. On
the other hand raw fruits, espec-
tally apples and bananas, also
graham bread and whole wheat
bread promote movement of the
bowels. When the bowels are
badly constipated. however, the
sure way is to take one or two of
Chamberlain Tablets immediate
ly after supper.
