He can see that the motor truck of

Mr.. Parker that he was when. in the
last campaign, he declared, with en-
phasis, that he was not a Democrat;
that the principles of the Democratic
party were WRONG, and that he was
Protectionist and opposed to the DEM
ocratic doctrines. Yet, now he comes.
before the people, posing as Demo-
crat and seeking Democratic votes. To
say the least, he is absurdly inconsist-
ent; but not more so than Governor
"Ruffian" Pleasant and Lee Thomas.
And what has the Honorable Lee
Thomas ever done to entitle him to the
honor of selecting a candidate for the
people of Louisiana? What has he ever
done to justify him in imposing and in
jecting himself in this campaign?
What has he ever done or what has
John nj. Parker ever done to Justify
either in their attempt to win from q
lifelong Democrat who had always
fought the battles of Democracy; there
would be some reason for Lee Thomas
and Governor PEASANTS taking up his
cause; but. to the contrary, Mr.. Parker
has jumped about so much that he
hardly knows to what party he belongs,
nor to what party he will belong next
week or next year.
Lee Thomas is, or was, the Chair
man of the State Board of Affairs, the
Board which is responsible for the law
increasing the taxes of the people. Mr..
Thomas may attempt to argue that his
Board has not done anything of the
kind; but-a taxpayer has only to look
at his tax receipt to disprove this argu
ment. The assessor has no power
whatever; he is merely clerk, unable
to do anything but follow the letter Of
the law, and. if he does not do this, tn,
Board of State Affairs wants to know
the reason why. Mr.. Thomas ma,
squirm and wiggle all he wants to, bu
the fact remains that Taxes have ma
terially increased, and this increase ha
been brought about since the creation
of the State Board of Affairs, of whicl
Mr.. Thomas was the Chairman and tn
l recognized leader.
" To most people it looks as if Cover
nor Pleasant and Mr.. Thomas have en-
tered conspiracy to turn the Demo
cratic Government of Louisiana owe
to man whom both denounced an
who declared that he was not Demo
crat and was opposed to Democrat
principles. This. we believe, is play
ing peanut politics with vengeance.

PLAYING Peanut Politics.

Governor "RUFFIAN" Pleasant
certainly has fallen from the high ped
estaI on which the Democrats of Lou
isiana placed him less than four years
ago, and is Enthusiastically using his high
position in order to place at the head
of the Government man whom he
bitterly and vindictively denounced in
the strongest possible terms from every
stump in the State. The charge that
he is playing peanut politics seems to
be bottomed upon facts. He cannot
escape responsibility for dragging in
the mire of politics his high office, and

tie men, in order to crafty his inordi-
nate ambition and desire to become a
political factor in Louisiana, and there
by reach, perhaps, the United States

Heretofore, as far as we can remem-
Der, no governor in Louisiana ever
adopted such petty tactics in order to
accomplished his unholy desires, and it
seems to be foregone conclusion that
Governor Pleasant will never accom-
plish his purpose. John M. Parker
though he has jumped about from one
party to another, like a jumping jack,
| would never, in his most desperate
mood. dare to do what Governor "Ruf-
fam Pleasant has done in removing
mis- own appointees simply because they
did not toady to him and follow his
lead. This activity of the Governor
will be a boomerang, and will serve t.
awaken the people to the fact that the
men who are responsible for Parker:
candidacy will stoop to any action II
order to defeat a man who has way
been loyal to the Democratic party o
the State. Mr.. Parker will yet hav'

To authorize and regulate the prac-
tice Of naturopathy, a bill has been in
troduced in the house.
Naturopsthy is defined as a system
Of treating disease without drugs by
the use of any and all drugless non-
surgical methods. 1t is based on the
theory that the body contains within
itself all the chemical elements, except
such rs may be obtained from food, nee
essary for the cure Of disease. And
that because Of this quality Of the body,
if the cause Of the disease is removed,
nature restores the body to health.
The bill provides for the establish
ment of the Oregon board of naturo-
pathic examiners, to consist Of three
members to be appointed by the gov
ernor. All members Of this board must
be from practicing naturopaths IN the
state of Oregon.
The bill also provides that the board
SO appointed shall conduct examinations
of applicants for license to practice in
the state. An applicant to practice nat
in the state must first present
II recommendation of good moral char
acter signed by three reputable citi-
zens. His examination must be in writ
ing snd to secure his license he must
answer correctly rs per cent of the
questions.
The minimum educational require
ments of any person applying for an ex-
animation shall aggregate 2400 hours
devoted to the study of anatomy, ply
siology, chemistry, pathology, obstet-
RIGS, minor surgery, hygiene and sanit
tation and the theory and practice Of
nsturopathy.
1t is also provided that naturopathic
shall sign birth certificates,
death certificates and any other certif-
icate requiring the signature of a Ii
censed physician.
