Confederate Money
Goodm New Orleans

Although the Civil War has been
over for fifty-three years and the
Confederacy has ceased to exist, Con
federate money is still being circu-
lated.
T. j. Flanagan, cashier of Murphys
restaurant in Poydras street, learned
this to his sorrow Tuesday evening.
Three men went into the restau-
rant and proceeded to eat all that
the modified rules of the food admin
istrator would permit. With the air
of having dined well they marched to
the cashiers desk. One man gener
ously gathered all the checks for the
three, even if the total cost was
$1.05, and passed them over to the
cashier with five-dollar note. The
cashier handed him 1895 change.
After the men had gone the cashier
discovered something that made him
feel fifty-three years younger and
still far from pleased him. The So
bin was genuine note but unfor-
tunately it was the issue of the Con-
federate states.
Mr.. Flanagan sought the aid of the
police to bring back the three guests
and his 1895. The police promised
to investigate imes-Picayune.

times OF world war. Now that
the war has ended we want to
know how our billions OF money
has been expended: we want the
graft exposed-and there Is plenty
of 1t. We want an accounting, and
Frank r. Gooding is qualified to do
this better than any other citizen
Of our state. For back Of the elev-
enth hour frantic appeal of Wilson.

dread of exposure that is sure to
come with republican control of
Congress. Wilson knew he had no
right to charge the republicans
with any lack Of loyalty; he also
knew he dared not permit his au-
tocratic grip on Congress to slip IL
his administration was to go unex-
posed and discredited.

Gooding has earned a seat in the
United States senate from Idaho. and
two years from now we hope that
he may be the successful candidate
Of a triumphant republican party.
Idaho is by every interest tariff
state: to us free trade would be a
blighting disaster from which we
should shrink as we would a Hun
invasion. We have industries that
we ought to protect; undeveloped
resources that we must encourage
and develop. Therefore we are not
serving our own best interests when
we elect John Nugent. a free trade
democrat to the United States SEN
ate, and we are voting for our best
interests when we, send protective
tariff senator to Washington. F.. R.
Gooding does represent Idaho in his
political ideals and doctrines, and
Gooding ought to be in Washington
to help re-write the next republi-
can protective tariff. Let us begin
now the work of electing Frank r.
Gooding two years from now. We
owe 1t to ourselves to do this.

The election is over. People will

Whatever we do il voluntary. No

Their than any good citizen should
be interested in the preservation of
this nation. Roosevelt said that at
first the League looked good to him.
When he looked into 1t he was
amazed at the thing. and he de-
nounced It.. We tell you that the
League will not stand close investi-
cation by an honest. fair-minded
man.

Would Republican success encour-

high.
A few weeks ago the White House
called Chairman Hays to accoun, for
saying that the Democratic poi.l'c-
ians would do anything to win the
coming election. Everybody KNOBS
they would now.
The idea some politicians have OF
preserving national unity in a crisis
is to precipitate Infatuated partisan
contention by taking unfair parti-
san advantage.
AS President Wilson says, the
Kaiser would be greatly rejoiced by
getting the news that General Per-
shings father-in-law has been elect
ed senator in Wyoming.
Speaking Of points in the peace
proposals, nobody has yet said any
thing about what is to be done with
the Sultans harem in the partition.
This war is to make the world
safe for the republic, not to make
the republic safe for the Democratic
party.
We are now living in a govern
ment of democrats, for democrats,
by democrats, altho the Wilson ad-
has graciously conde-
scended to allow republicans to buy
war bonds and join the army. And
they call this making the world

A feature of the bean situation
that may interest our readers is the
quantity that is used for the canned
article. 1t is said that fully one
half the beans grown in the United
States are used by the Gamers. and
that there is an embargo on the use
of tin for this purpose. Which will
now end with the war, and nor
NAL demand for beans may soon be
expected. with good strong mar
ket. Take into consideration the
further fact that there has been no
shipping facilities. and that the
has stopped buyers
from specializing in foods, and it is
easy to understand why the bean
grower cannot today sell at any fig
ure. But let us also remember that
wheat, with governemnt guaran-
ted price, cannot be sold any easier
than beans. there being absolutely
no crop movement. Things will be
all right in short time now. Don't
get excited.

Townleyism Is but another name
for greed and autocratic power. The
business Of this league Is to milk
the farmer for the benefit of the
machine. of which Townley is the
absolute head. and from whose die
tation there is no appeal. Townley
cannot be ousted from his self-ap-
pointed leadership of the league.
The members have no say as to his
tenure of office. He can hold on as
long as he lives. and then pass his
power down to his children. From
Townley there is no appeal. He Is
the League. He is the autocrat at
the head OF the table, and the farm
ers are mere dupes In his control.
Not one penny of the League funds
is under the control of the farmers.
No farmer in the nation can get a
look at the inside workings of this
machine, and farmers who
have demanded an accounting have
been told to go to hell. And Town
ley talks of profiteering! His is the
greatest proflteering scheme in the
United States at this time. Farmers
who follow Townley are simply a
lot of suckers.
