Knowing well the magic City,"
l must say it is pity
That yo' pen should so deride
Louisiana's boast, and pride.
I'll not claim, sub, fo' minute
That the name has music in it;
Seemed, in fact, to strike yo' ear
AS quite droll, and very queer
But it stands fo' grit and hustle;
Dauntless pluck, and youthful
muscle,
Such as can be found today
Only in the U. S. A.
For only back a short decade,
Where was dreary swamp and
glade,
Where the forests shadows fell
Now ten thousand people dwell.
Hustling, busting Bogalusa!

GIVE US A SQUARE DEAL. WHY
NOT BE FAIR? TREAT US LIKE
OTHERS ARE TREATED.

: The Star offered it's service to heN
elect persons whom it thought were
friendly to us. AS a consequence of
our action, we think that the Negroes
and Negro papers read by our people
are not getting a square deal by the
advertising agency of the County Re-
publican Committee. The candidates
and many Republicans know nothing
of the treatment of this agency that
attempts to get service from others
for nothing that he gets pay for when
it comes to him. We were told, as
we were four years ago. that only
small appropriation was made for that
kind of work and certain matter must
be run free this week as editorial
if we expected to get any Republican
advertisement. We promptly told the
agency manager that we wrote our
own editorial, remembering that no
such request would have beer asked
of a white weekly paper. Ouler words.
surrender your editorial to ne for my
thoughts for what little bit of adver-
tisement l will give you. We have
dealt with him before. we know at
whose expense it is done. This GER

of money for "a great mass of matter

Think of such demand Does this
sound like fair treatment or discrim-

the Negro on such peculiar compro-
missing basis. Why not deal with us

necessary for the candidates to ad-
vertise in white papers to give certain

necessary to advertise in Negro pa
pers to convey this same information;
that is, if the candidates want the

vote or not, since they received theirs

that you have the power to change
and control circumstances. Exercise
that power and soon things will begin
to change for the better.-Em cheney.

The Star wants Phipps, Shoup, Vaile
and Timberlake to win, but If more
attention is not paid to the requests
of the Negro, the Republican party

are. In every case Of neglect the can.

Negroes are patriotic and loyal to
our country, state and city, and as
loyal and patriotic citizens, how can
you support or countenance anything
or anyone disloyal or unpatriotic. Gov.
Gunter supported the Democratic ma.
tional administration in all war mea-
sures and then with such glorious
record, he was repudiated by his
party when presented at the primaries
for denomination. Shafroth dined,
wined and associated with Hearst in
N. Y, Fourth of July; who was con-
nected with Bolo Pasha, spy killed
for treason. Yet Shafroth was re-.
nominated and our war loyal governor
repudfated If you do not believe in
such things, elect Phipps and show
your colors. To elect Phipps without
electing Vaile is to half do the work.
