Booze Peddlers

G. W. Chandler of Texarkana,
Ark, and Richard Brown (colored)
of this city, who were arrested few
days ago charged with buying booze
for soldiers here, were taken in charge
by United States marshal this after
noon and taken to New Orleans.
They will be arraigned in federal
court.
The men were arrested by Officer
Guidry, who caught them red-handed
in the illegal act for which they are
charged. Guidry had his suspicious
aroused by the actions Of a group Of
soldiers. He hid himself nearby and
in a few minutes he was rewarded
for his vigilance by the appearance
Of the booze peddlers, who, according
to his report, turned over a quantity
Of booze to the enlisted men. Their
arrest quickly followed and the PEN
atty they will be called upon to pay
will be greatly in excess to the profit
they were allowed on the booze trans
action.

MAKING THE WORLD SAFE FOR
DEMOCRACY.

Probably no expression has been
so widely adopted as this immortal
phrase coined by the President to
convey Americas treason Why" for
entering the world war; It arrays
the "Divine Right to Rule" ideal Of
the old dispensation against the
rights of Man" ideal of modern
conception. Men Of the American
Revolution died that the ideals of the
Declaration Of Independence might
become real; men are dying to ex-
tend those ideals to foreign nations;
woman suffrage is necessary for
their application at home.
No doubt it is realization of
this Inconsistency that has made the
President champion the submission
Of federal amendment in order to
bring the issues to the states, and re-
move the blot from Americas es-
cutcheon of maintaining within the
nation women as subject class. Do
the men of Louisiana realize that if

4 CALL TO DUTY.


From the battle fields in France
there comes an unspoken call that
should find answer in every Ameri'
cans heart. The recent great events
in Europe, the successes Of Ameri'
can arms on the fields Of France
should spur every American to great
er effort.
Our people at home should not rest
on the laurels Of our soldiers in dear
old France. Every death on the field
Of honor in the line Of duty and for
our country's cause should be q call
to US for every sacrifice and every

Think, Man, Think

1t is not the purpose of this article
to applaud ourselves for the gigantic
stride which the shipbuilding indus
try has taken in tonnage production
during the past year. We have done
well. Some marvellous feats have
been performed. But the end of the
act has not yet been reached, and
therefore the time for hand clapping
and relaxation has not arrived. While
we are justly proud Of our record
delivery of 100000 tons of shipping,
the equivalent of 178 ships of 5000
tons each, during the past two months
and of the launching of 1873 ships of
631,944 lightweight tons in July, as
Mr.. Charles M. Schwab said on his
recent visit to the Fore River Yards
Of the Bethlehem Shipbuilding Cor
poration, we are rapidly increasing
our forces in Europe and we must
proportionately incease our efforts
in production to see that they are
properly provided for.
On the other hand, the words Of
Eugene G. Grace, president of the
Bethlehem Steel Company, to the
foreman Of the yards above men
toned are well worth quoting:
"Boys, don't try to work all of the
time. You can't do it. You'll break
down if you do, and after you break
down you're useless. We don't want
you to break, SO use your head. Use
reason"
And that is what your country
wants you to do. Use your head.
Use reason. Find time for relaxa-
ton in order to keep physically fit.
Find time for constructive thought,
for adducing ways and means Of
economy in time and labor to the
purpose of greater production. Too
