 The notes of the october 15 meeting of the radical lodge declare there ap- peared three delegates. two American and one Mexican, who had arrived from the United States and who claimed that the society would be able at the beginning of next November lthat is, November, l919) to call general strike of all miners and metal work CTS in the United States; that they have S000000 adherents in that coun- try, where they will be able to seize one western and two Atlantic ports. that large number of American sol diers were preparing to take sides with them, and that they proposed to establish a capital of a reformed gov ernpent of the United States in the state of Colorado: that when such revolution was successful, the Mex jeans rendering their assistance, the border states which were acquired by the United States under the treaty of 1S4S would be returned to Mexico"

Echoes Fom the Big Barbecue.

Reports come in from all quarters OF
the great success and fine arrangements
as we'll as the unusual good behavior OF
the big crowd at the Colfax barbecue
on Oct. LIST, the universal verdict being
that it was credit to Grant parish and
this community.
Among the speeches that day which
we failed to note was that OF Hon.
Duncan Buie, chief of the State High
way Department, who made fine ad-
dress on good re ads and legislation
necessary to perfect the department in
its operations.
Also there was a game OF basket
ball between the Colfax and Verda
teams, that resulted in tie, and big
dance that night at the town pavilion
attended by many of the soldiers and
sailors. The crowded condition of our
columns and hurry of getting out the
paper caused US to overlook other in
teresting items.

Mr.. Foster Will Not Be A Candidate
for the State Senate but may
Stand for Reelection to
the House.


Representative G. A. Foster, of Pol
lock, was in Colfax Monday with a
large delegation of citizens from the
east side of the parish in the interest
of good road system in District Nine,
embracing all of the east half of Grant.
Mr.. Foster advised that he and his
opponent, Mr.. p. C. Mosely, of Winn-
field, have agreed to pull out of the
race for the Senate in favor of Judge
Wear, of Columbia, and that Judge
Wear has agreed to stand for the NOM
nation. Mr.. Foster said he desired to
get out of politics, for the present at
least, but as there were so many mea-
sures of vital Importance affecting our
parish and state coming up before the
next Legislature, if some good man with
both courage and ability to serve the
people did not come out, with declara-
ton of where he stands without quib-
bling and delay, it was possible he
would acceed to the solicition of friends
and stand for reelection to the House

A Congress of Cowares.

New York World: In the last

for its generosity the country is
to be taken by the throat apd

most complicated economic is

not settled forthwith. If there
is any difference between that
kind of arrogance and the AFRO

like to know what it is.
The legislative branch of the
United States Government long
ago degenerated into a Congress

as subservient to the brother
hoods as it has been to the Anti

ment, the United States might
as well apply for the appoint
ment of a receiver iirst as last.

SMALL HOPE OF
PRICE CUT Seen
Cost of All Commodities not Ex-
pected to Drop Much Reserve
Board Reports Show.

Washington, May 19.-Prices may
not be expected to drop much in. the
near future. according to indications
of report reaching the federal re-
serve board. The reserve board
bulletin for May, says that appar-
pently the business community
has given up the thought it may
profitably await further consider
able reduction in prices, and is now
contenting itself with the develop
ment of trade along lines dependent
upon at least the temporary main
tenance of existing levels"
Though prices of a few basic
commodities have fallen slightly
these declines have not yet been ef-
fected in retail prices, says the re-
view.
What is now happening" it
adds, seems to indicate that busi-
ness will, after a period of initial
readjustment in prices, proceed
upon a level not far removed from
that established during the war"
