Louisiana Manfuly Stick
ing To The Sugar Sys-
tenn To Serve The
Flag
Other Commonwealths That
Used More Than Their
Share Will Have Sept
ember Allotment De-
creased

Louisiana has kept the sugar faith,
and for that reason will receive her
September allotment as soon, if not
sooner, than any other state.
New York and other common
wealths have used more than their
share, but they will not be allowed
to overstep the limit. Their excesses
Of the past will result in the famine
Of the future. The merchants and
consumers will have their overco
sumption deducted from their Sep
tember totals and will have to go al
most without sugar during the com
ing month
The sugar shortage is still acute
and there is no sign of immediate
relief. The beet supply will not begin
moving for another month and it will
probably be November before any
relief is possible. The United States
Food Administrator issued notice
that the reduced August figures must
stand for September, and that there
was not use for individual pleadings
and appeals for revision. Also, there
was no place for new business in the
restricted program. Accordingly,
Jno. NJ. Parker, Food Administrator
for Louisiana, closed the doors to
callers and put the entire staff to
work on a record job of getting the
September certificates into the hands
Of the merchants and industries on
the list. All the vouchers will be out
in few days.
The enforced conservation of
sugar has increased the temptation
to profit upon those eager to obtain
more than the small but sufficient
quantity permitted. The public,
however, is in this case amply able to
protect itself by merely cooperating
with the Food Administration. Be
cause Mr.. Hoover's department. is
represented on the international
committee, which is the largest pur-
chaser of sugar in the world, it is
able to regulate prices and profit
from the factory to the table. Retail
dealers are held to a profit Of 1c
pound, and as the wholesale price is
below Sc, even transportation, haul
ing and handling costs in the most
isolated sections should not force the
consumer to pay much over &c per

VISUALIZING STATE SUFFRAGE.

The Louisiana Suffrage Campaign
Committee believes that the best
argument it can present is to show
the suffrage map and let the growth
Of woman suffrage speak for itself.
Accordingly, it has voted to place in
every community map showing
where women vote on equal terms
with menAwhere they have almost
full suffrage as in Illinois-and pri-
mary suffrage as in Arkansas and
Texas. It believes that every man
who sees that map will realize that
woman suffrage is inevitable, and his
duty now to vote to keep suffrage
under state regulation, and not en-
courage the ratification of federal
amendment by his policy Of opposi-
ton or Indifference.

War Department Repre-
sentatives Order Abolish
ment OF Segregated
District
At Impromtu Meeting of Busi-
ness Men This Morning the
Council Was Assured Of
Their Support.

Lieut.. Frank P. Christensen, rep
resenting the Commission on Train
ing Camp Activities, and Lieut.. Henry
P. Alder, director of Bureau of We
nereal Diseases of the War Depart
meat dropped into Morgan City un-
announced this morning, and at II
o'clock held a special meeting of the
business men at the City Hall. Lieu,
tenant Christensen explained the pur-
pose of their visit. The War Depart
ment is determined to close all places
of commercialized vice, especially ex-
isting where soldiers or men engaged
in government work are stationed.
The conditions here, where are both
soldiers and shipbuilders, have been
reported as unsatisfactory. Morgan
City was asked to abolish its segre-
gated vice district and the deporta
ton of women in these districts free
from disease, the remainder to be
quarantined and cured. It was also
suggested the passage of an ordinance
prohibiting prostitution and lewdness
in any form.
By an unanimous vote the men
present pledged themselves to sup
port the council in any action they
might take in compliance with the
request of the War Department. A
special meeting of the council is now
being held, which will without doubt
result in instructions being given po-
lice officers to strictly enforce ex-
isting law covering this subject and
additional legislative action taken
which will carry out to the letter the
policy of the War Department.

pound Some of the prices which
have been exacted are plain profiteer,
ing and the name and address of the
dealer, and the date and details of
the transaction will enable the Food
Administration to take prompt action.
One such case, that of A. c. Rivers
Of Alexandria, was reported to C. F.
Crockett, the district administrator,
and he imposed ag$25.0O Red Cross
fine to underwrite the pledge to pro
fiteer no more. Rivers charged II l 2
cents forsurgar.
Al eveh more serious charge, in
view1of the Food Administration
effort to give everybody an equal
chance at sugar, is boarding. That
means simply to have on hand more
sugar than the law allows. Convic-
ton in the Federal Court may be fol
lowed by both heavy fine and long
Imprisonment. The Food Admins
tration hopes to obtain square deal
without sending anybody to Jail. Its
faith in the patriotism is beng justi-
fed by the large number Of volun-
tary surrenders of surplus, although
in some instances seizure has been
practiced The first weeks drive re-
suited in quite stack of sacks in
Mr.. Parker's office, and he has solved
the problem of disposal without dis
turbing the distribution by turning it
over to the Charity HosDial at New
Orleans. One of the sacks came from
the home of a prominent citizen who
could not resist boasting to group
of friends that he was Independent
of the surgar rules. One of these
friends was a sworn volunteer, and
he did not hesitate to do his duty,
with the result that the hoarder de-
cided to surrender his stock and rely
hereafter upon the allowance of two
pounds at a time, which the poorest
as well as the richest consumer is
able to buy under the governments
equitable system.
The Enforcement Division of which
E. T.. Merrick is chief, put New Or
leans brokerage firm out Of business
by revoking the license Of the Charles
de Turk Company. The concern or
dered a car Of rye flour from the
mills, and when the car arrived upon
falling market it had no money to
pay the bill. The concern confessed
that much and also declared it's in
ability to finance any fine. Mr.. Mer-
rick held that it was plain case Of
speeulating with the other mans
money and did not hesitate to apply
puniory and exemplary corrective.
Closing a bakery for a week en-
