SODA TOUNTS NAY PUT NO
SHAVED ICE IN DRINKS

Norfolk. Va, Aug. 15.--Cutting
down soda fountains to only sufficient
ice to make their drinks cold, no ice
to be served in any drink, the cutting
down of all regular customers to fifty
per cent of the regular supply of ice
and putting a stop to any delivery to
individuals from the platforms were
the measures taken this afternoon by
the ice committee of the chamber OF
commerce, The members of the
committee discussed the closing up
of all soda fountains and the elimi-
nation of iced tea FROM the restau-
rant menus. but decided that this &C
ton would cause more suffering than
the lack of ice in homes.
In the discussion it developed that
in the opinion OF a majority of the
members of the committee the dis
tribution of ice was the chief fault
OF the present situation. 1t also de-
veloped that the three cars of Ice ex-
pected from Salisbury, Md, have not
been shipped but that three cars from
Wilmington have arrived on time.

THE CANDIDACY OF R GOVERNOR HALL

Gnder no circumstances would The Clarion attempt to detract
from the democracy or Amercanism Of either Mr.. Oyerton or Mr..
Gay, both Of whom are opponents of former Governor Hall for
United States senator. Mr.. Overton and Mr.. Gay are thoroughly
competent and patriotic Louisianans well qualified for the exalted
office which they seek at the hands of the people, and if either
should be fortunate to win the party nomination we will cheerfuny
bow to the will Of the democrats of Louisiana, as expressed by ma
jorny vote, and support the winner in the November election.
But our choice for the position is Governor Hall, and we
sincerely believe he is a good democrat, just as patriotic and as well
qualified for the position as either Mr.. Overton or Mr.. Gay. He
has held various positions of trust and not one single time has he
lights before hin His enemies charge that his administration as
governor was a failure That charge is untrue and is based on an
unwarranted desire to destroy him politically and remove him from
d sphere where he could be Of real assistance to the people. The
effort is untimely, undemocrahc and inhuman but is entirely in
keeping with the tactics of certain politicians who desire to con-
troll the state and who see in Governor Hall a stumbling block to
the progress of their Vaccinations. He has successfully stood
their fire before and can and will stand it successfully again.
Governor Hall is a man of the people-the plain people. He
is neither millionaire nor aristoerat. He does not wallow in an
engulfng flood of money nor does he hold himself aloof from the
so-caIed common herd" Sprung from the soil, born of poor
parents, he. has hewed for himself a place in the hearts and est
nation of the people of Louisiana and will prove a fitting repre-
sentative for them and their interests in the most august legislative
body on earth. We believe that the rank and file Of the people
realize this and, realizing it, will rally to his support on September
10 and send him to Washington as a fitting successor to the la
mented Broussard.

ENFORCING THE vAGRANcY LAW

Recently several complaints have reached The Clarion relative
to q stricter enforcement of the city ordinance concerning Migrants.
The Clarion brought the matter to the attention of Mayor Halphen
who assured that the law is being enforced right along and that it
is the intention of the city administration to see that it is enforced
strictly to the letter. In proof of his words, the mayor cited a
number of cases where Migrants were hauled before the city court,
tried and found guilty. Many paid the fines assessed against
them while others selected the notwithstanding out the fines
on the city streets.
Vagrancy is a minor disease that pursued will lead perhaps to
greater evils. Nipped in the bud, the disease will quickly disap-
pear. These are war times and the demand for all classes Of Ia
Dor is greater than ever before in the nations history. The man
who doesn't work hasn't an inclination to work, if he is physically
able. States, cities and communities have adopted strict laws
against the evil and the loafer and professional 'syag' is being
hard pushed to keep out of the clutches of the law. Opelousas is
not going to be behind the procession and while it requires time to
bring about a drastic change, we believe that the officials will ex-
ert themselves to rid this city Of the evil complained of.
