EVIL POLITICS

DR., Gelbke's exposure Of Mr..
Thomas Grass and ungenerous mis-
representation of Judge Hall clearly
reveals a type Of politics out of
place in a country engaged in a des-
perate val against a dangerous enc
my, The nation is calling on the
men and women of every State for
so much in so many lines, and the
war is throwing on every community
so many unusual demands for organ
izzation and construction, that it is
especially against good public policy

political squabbles OF a character
calculated to mems just re.
sentiments needleesly and set them
SO at odds among themselves that
they a no longer meet, greet and
unite with each other as the single
unit they ought to be everywhere in
the promotion of the nations bust
ness at this time. That is precisely
what such Misrepresentation and
St. Landry clarion. (Opelousas, La.) 1890-1921, 1918-07-27

could see a shade or excuse for at
tributing Mr.. Thomas maligning Of
Mr.. Hall to infirmity of memory and
even TO the self-delusion Of hate.
| That, however, Is impossible. DR..
! Gelbke killed that charitable sugges-
ton when he related the truth about
those reprieves for himself and
three other good men of jefferson
at the hands of Governor Hall
which Mr.. Thomas so bitterly de-
nounces.
The reprieyes have been permitted
to stand by Governor Pleasant, to
whose election Mr.. Thomas con-
tributed, under whom he holds Of
flee!
The thing for which those men
were reprieved was a sentence for
contempt of court" imposed by q
small Judge attempting petty tyrrany
over free citizens who would not
stand for it. The people of Gretna,
where the "~offense'' was committed.
approved of the course Of those four
men so highly that they proceeded to
elect DR.. Gelbke their mayor-the
first time the parish machine has
ever failed to control the city vote.
Had the Doctor been minded he
might have characterized Mr.. Thorn.
as vituperation still more comicaly
and conclusiVely. One of Mr..
Thomas heavy counts against Mr..
Hall was that Mr.. Hall spoke disre-
spectfully of the New Orleans ma
chine in the campaign of 1912!
It is our impression that Mr..
Thomas himself was on the same
side of that campaign and himself
doing the same thing much more
violently.
Another man is a wretch in 1913
for doing in 1912 what he did him
self in a worse degree-but ne
bless Heaven-whatever else he be,
is pure.
We trust that nothing here said
will cause Mr.. Thomas to abate his
zeal for Mr.. Gays candidacy. That
would be an un~warranted abridge-
ment of his own rights, and injurious
to the other candidates.
Meanwhile, since extravaganza is
the word, and Thomas raises it, we
invite every taxpaying citizen OF
Louisiana to put him to the test.
You know what your assessment
was in Mr.. Halls time. Mr.. Thomas
has fixed your assessment this year.
Go at once to your assessor
open his books and see what your
assessment is. The books are open
in New Orleans; go and look at
them. Get your country figures,
too; insist upon them.
This will give you a very fair line
on Mr.. Thomas present professions.

Mr.. Fontenot Named
! Chairman Of Development

Mr.L. Austin Fontenot, prominent
local attorney. who has previously
been of valuable service to the Red
Cross cause, has been named Chair
man Of the Bureau of Development
Of the st. Landry Chapter. Mr.. Fon-
tenot is well qoalified for the posi-
tion and will no doubt render effl-
cient aid to the local Red Cross.
The appointment of Mr.. Fontenot
relieves Mr.. A. L. Dupre, who a
heretofore performed the duties OF
both treasurer and chairman OF the
bureau Of extension. This putting on
one man the work that should be
done by two, as Mr.. White OF the
development bureau, remarked IN
his talk to the executive committee,
is not in accord with Red Cross in
tention.s Each department should
have a chairman if the particular
work of that department is to be
carried out effectively.

THIRD DISTRICT PAPERS
SUPPORTS GOVERNOR HALL

The candidacy of e. 3. Gay for
United States Senator, we regret to
say, is an opposition to Gov. Hall
only. Mr.. Gay is a gentleman OF
wealth and culture, but not in any
ann equipped for the Senator
ship. Gov. Hall is a gentleman Of
eulture-without wealth-but equip
ped in every sense for the duties and
requirements of the ~Senatorship.
MI. Gay is manifestly the man Sc
lected by l.. g. Thomas and Col.
Ewing to "get even" with Hall. This
is all there is to it. Now it is square
up to the voters Of Louisiana to
either select the best qualified, or to
crafty the spite of Thomas and
Ewing.
The bitterest enemies of the peo-
pie in the sugar section of Louisiana
are Ewing and Thomas. Ewing de-
nounced the cane OF LOUIS
lana numerically because they
fought for their lives and their
homes. Thomas denounced the
same people, but covered a little
more territory, in a most unjust and
u-nwarranted manner; the Parker
following was the object of his bit
terest spleen. Now these two leaders
have started something; they are
anxious to get even; but we imagine
that the injured are still in the
game, and while they We're willing
to drop the past, yet, If the issue is
forced, let it eome.-st. Mary Ban

THE PROOF or THE PUDDING Il
IN THE EATING

There is no question that the Byrne
Shorthand is the greatest system in
use today. 1t makes better stenog-
raphers in less time and cost than
any other. It may be written with
a pencil or any typewriter. 1t has
over 10000 enthusiastic writer's; it
holds the worlds record for speed
in a given length of time, is the most
simple, legible. and rapid system in
use, as is shown from the following
remarks by our students who first
studied other systems:
Il take pleasure in telling the pub
lie that the Byrne Shorthand is the
only system. | previously studied
Pitman eight months, used it in ac-
tual practice four months; at the
end of six weeks study of the Byrne,
| was a better writer than had
ever been with the Pitman.
81 have been a Sloan-Duployan
stenographer for IS years; | found
the system inadequate. I then took
the Gregg under Mr.. Gregg of Chi
cago, but found it illegible. l then
took up the Byrne, which | consider

Il first studied Pitman Shorthand,
then took up the Byrne, and found
the Byrne to be 35 per cent shorter
and that it could be written at a
much higher rate of speed, and read
like print"
Il studied Pitman four months,
gave it up n disgust; l then took up
PERRIN and studied it almost night
and day for six months; but was
not competent to hold a position. |
then took up the Byrne for three
months, and find that | can hold any
kind Of a1position."
Il graduated in Graham short
hand, writing 100 words a minute, af-
ter 9 months study. After studying
the Byrne simplified, together with
Byrne Practical Boo ping, for
4 months, / could write Byrne much
faster and regard it superior to any
other system"
q thoroughly mastered IA systems,
eve of the most prominent sys-
TENS, Pitman, Gregg. CHARTER,
Byrne, and four minor systems, and
find the Byrne much easier to read,
that it can be written with one and
one-half times the speed that can be
made with any of the other IS sys-
TENS
after studying six different Pit
manic systems. | was unable to hold
an ordinary office job, but with five
weeks study Of the Byrne / went
into the district court and did re-
porting successfully. and was ap-
pointed regular Court stenographer."
