LOCAL, POLITICS BECOMING
INTERESTING.

Sometime ago it was stated IN tne
Chief that some of the present parish
ofice-holders together with other as
nirants for political preferment, mad
formed what was said to be a partial
narochial ticket, and that at the
n,oner time their ticket would pc
formally launched in opposition 10
the ticket headed by Sheriff E. =.
Hanson. and vigorous campaign
made for its election. The per-
sonnet of the ticket was given as
follows: For sheriff, DR.. ID. =.
Brumfeld; for clerk of court, Jas. ).
Barman; for assessor, Sidney ST.
Amant; for coroner, DIR. 2. T..
Thibodaux; for representative, ID. A.
Morgan. Since that time this ticket
has undergone certain changes. MI.
Barman has been replaced by LOUIS
Leblanc of the first ward as candl-
date for clerk of court, while for
sheriff DIR. P. T. Thibodaux has SUI
perseded DR.. D. c. Brumfield, and the
ticket is now made up as follows:
For sheriff, DR.. P. T. Thibodaux; for
clerk of court, Louis Leblanc; for
assessor, Sidney St. Amant; for re-
preventative, H. A. Morgan. (Candi-
dates for coroner and one represent
4
alive yet to be selected.)
A few days ago another partial
ticket, representing the Hanson fac
ton has entered the field, composed
of the following candidates: For
sheriff, George H. Richard; for clerk
of court, Richard Melancon; for
coroner, DR.. D. C. Brumfield; for as
SCISSOR, Sidney st. Amant. 1.-TWO
candidates for representative yet to
be selected.
Geo. H. Richard, the candidate for
sheriff Of the Hanson faction is a
native and lifelong resident of this
city. He was postmaster of Donald-
sonville for four years; mayor for
temr of two years, and chief deputy
sheriff under Sheriff. E. G. Hanson
for the past twelve years. He is
well and favorably known throughout
the parish and his candidacy will
meet with the approval of his legion
Of friends,
Richard Melancon, the candidate
for clerk Of court, is rising young
attorney Of this city, and present
court stenographer for the parishes
of Ascension, Assumption and st.
James, and during the war he was
chief clerk of the local draft board
and discharged the duties connected
with the Office in a most creditable
and satisfactory manner. He has a
large number of friends in this city
and parish who will no doubt give
hearty support to his candidacy.
Sidney st. Amant, candidate fol
assessor is the present incumbent
He is exceptionally fortunate in hav.
ing the support of both factions
which insures his election without
opposition.
DR.. d. G. Brumfeld, candidate fol
coronercoroner, is the present incum
bent, and at one time recently wa:
the candidate Of the opposition fol
the office Of sheriff.
Both factions are expected t.
complete and formallE launch theil
tickets in the early future when the
campaign will begin in earnest
Both sides have large followings and
the contest will no doubt prove 6
VERY interesting one.

Keep It Up!

One step won't take you very far,
You've got to keep on walking;
One word won't tell folks what you
are,
You've got to keep on talking;
One inch won't make you very tall,
You've got to keep on growing;
One little "ad" won't do it all,
You've got to keep 'em going.

ne TELLS OF CHANGES
KMv Aaanniated Preaal

WASHINGTON, Dec. IA surplus
Of $2,342,S51 In postofflce operations
for the fiscal year 1919 was announc-
ed in the annual report today of Post
master General Burleson The figures
are subject to some adjustment which
would increase the surplus, Mr.. Burle'
son said, and that this was the sixth
time IL seven years Of the present
postofhce administration that reve-
nues exceeded expenditures
An aggregate surplus Of more than
$4,000, 900 as compared to an aggre-
gate deficit Of more than $59,OO0,OOO
for the preceding seven year period
Is shown In appended tables,
"The cause Of the change is imme-
diatsy apparent" the report said Of
this comparison. Whereas the reve-
nues under this administration in
creased $737,5S7,8 18 or at the rate Of
60s6e per cent, compored with the
seven year period prior to the time it
assumed office, the expenditures in
creased only $643, 1885, 1856, or at the
rate Of 42.49 per cent, The difference
between the Increase in expenditures
and the increase in revenue, less losses
equals the amount of the net change
In favor Of the Public Treasury.
Much Of the criticism leveled at the

departments financial policy Mr..
Burleson said, was due to lack Of com
pIete and accurate information"
'eThe facts, as presented, he added,
"tell story of achievement. They do
not call for explanations and apologies
and none are given. The ADMINISTERS
ton stands squarely on its record.
Discussing improvements in the ser
vice, Mr.. Burleson said nothing had
been left undone within his authority,
ITO effect readjustments in the inter
est OF all the people and not in that
of any special class" adding:
because Of the curtallment OF what
may be termed special class postal
facilities theve has grown up siren
uous hostility on the part of a limit
ed number OF special interests, th8
expense Of whose private business was
largely paid by the government instead
of by themselves. This has particular
reference to the modifying OF the
second-class mailing privilege which
had until the advent Of the present
administration been grossly abused.
Improvements made are summarize
ed as follows:
Inauguration Of the air-mail SER
vice; establishment of the space sys-
TEN in determining the compensation
Of railroads for carrying the mail;
reimbursement of railway mail service in
the interest Of both improvement and
economy; readjustments or organiza-
tons in pOstoffices, methods of ser
vice and distribution OF supplies, on
basis Of sound bushes principle;
Inauguration OF rural and city motor
of box and collection service and the
postage-stamp, money order and regis.
try facilities to patrons on star routes;
improvements in the registry system,
insured parcel post and methods Of
handling dead letters readjustment
of rural delivery service, providing
more equitable distribution of facill-
ties to patrons already served and
extension Of facilities to these citi-
zens who had therefore been denied
any service at all; complete reorgan-
ization of the equipment and supply
services through the extension OF oper
alton and economy of production, and
the introduction OF modern shop meth
DDS, equipment and appliances, effect
ing substantial savings and improve
ment in the service; the partial adj
justment Of postage rates on second
class mail mIttet; effeCting saving
of over $15,OOO,dOO annually; redqc-
tion of letter postage between the
United States and several foreign
countries; large extension of inter-
national parcel post, and the increase
in weight and size of parcels permit
ted in the mails"
Mr.. Burleson again asked repeal of
legislation permitting affiliation of or
CARNATIONS of postal employees with la
Dor organizations, (which sanction re-

course TO the strike or boycott to en-;
force their demands"
II again call the attention OF Con-
gFess to the impfopriety Of Govern
ment employees owing allegiance to
any organization which might stand
between them and the government.
and to the actual menace Of govern
mental authority which is involved In
such affiliatton" Mr.. Burleson said.
1.-THE avowed purpose OF labor or
CARNATIONS IS not alone to advance the
social and economic welfare Of the
members OF their order but to exer-
else a coerciye influence upon the
employer to compel submission to
their demands.
The strike and the boycott are the
weapons designed to be used In at
tack or in resistance. The govern
ment OF the United States Is not
TO be attacked or resisted by any
citizen Of the land. Surely no such
special privilege is reserved to those
who, through the nature Of their en-
Iployment, are sworn to serve the gov
Iernment itself and owe to 1t the spec
ial allegiance Of service duty.
Whatever interest labor may claim
in the products of its tail, it can
not be claimed for Government en-
ployees that they acquire a larger in.
terest or greater power in the govern
lment than that Of other citizens, be-
cause Of the character OF their en-
ployment.
Government employees should be
permitted to organize foa their social
and general welfare, to appear before
committees OF Congress, and to fur
nish information concerning the pos
tai service Of which they may have
knowledge.
THE enforcement of the principle
that Government employees should
not hold an utilization Incompatible
with their obligation to the public ser
vice can not be distorted into a re-
Election upon the efficiency and loyal
ty Of the postal employees wose de-
Votion 60 public duty under the trying
test Of war was Conspicuously demon
SEATED. But the principle is one
which cannot be PRODUCTIVITY disregard
ed"
Reaffirming after detailed discus
sion his previous stand as to zone rates
on publications, Mr.. Burleson said:
1.-THE Postmaster General has always
believed that a low flat rate Of post
age should apply to reading matter, for
the reason that its primary purpose
Is the dissemination Of news and is
education, but he also is firm in the
belief that this low rate OF postage
should not apply to that portion of
the publication devoted to advertising
and commercSsl uses. The law which
fixes zone rate for advertising mat
ter is eminently fair, as the rate Of
postage is increased in the proportion

and according to the dlstance 1t. Is
transported; and the publisher, there.
fore, 10 a certain extent, fixes for
himself the rate Of pOstage on his
publication. The Postmaster General
earnestly recommends that action DO
taken by Congress to increase the rate
Of postage on the portion Of publica.

ciently to pay the cost Of transporting
