NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

"Will some one kindly inform Us
just what Mr.. John M. Parker has
ever accomplished that entities him to
serious consideration at the hands
Of the Democrats of Louisiana? We
have not one word of criticism as to
Mr.. Parker's private record or bust
ness conduct. Those things are not
part of this campaign, and we do not
care to inject personal or private
affairs; but the people Of Louisiana
are concerned as to his political re-
cord Of which he says he is so ever
Iastingly proud. Therefore, we re-
peat, will some one please tell us what
John M. Parker has done to entitle
him to the votes of loyal and life
long Democrats?
"True, he deserted the Democratic
PARTY many years ago, followed after
strange party gods, denounced the
principles of the Democratic party,
and did his utmost to place in power
Republicans, Bull Moose and Progress
sives. He exerted himself to the
fullest extent, and he voted for nom
Democratic candidatesl However,
after doing all within his power to
uefeat and excortiate the Democratic
nominee for Governor of Louisiana.
and, after discovering that he could
not accomplish much personally out
side the Democratic party, changed
his party registration, and now de-
clares he is Democrat. Yet, in the
same breath, avows his pride in his
past political record. though it
breathes of Republicanism, Bull
Mooseism and Progressiveism.
Usually, when a man sincerely
and truly repents and desires to work
cut his own salvation, he makes pub
m fuu and free confession Of his
SINS and declares his contritiol over
pest deeds and asks to be allowed to
pfove his sincere repentance by re-
naming on the 'Mourners Bench for
a reasonable length of time, he does
not boldly rush forward, demanding
the choicest gifts politically in recog-
milton Of his mere act of party regis
tration.' Usually. the repentant man
Is silent and anxious to be allowed to
be even meek and lowiy follower of
those who have ever been steadfast
and sincere in the faith.
This is not the case with Mr.. John
M. Parker. He is self-centered, filled
with a sense of his own tremendous
importance, and feels impelled to de-
mand as the reward of his mere con-
decension to register as a Democrat
the highest position Of State within
the gift of the people. Could there
be ANYTHING more supremely egotis-
tieal!"-Monroe News-Star.

TO THE PURCHASERS OF JOB
PRINTING

In the past it has been the policy of
this office to give prices on job OF
printing in a sort Of guessing way,
not knowing just the cost price OF
each job, and having no way to fig
ure it. We admit that in some in
stances we might have charged too
much for the job, but believe that
in most of the instances we charged
too little. At any rate We knew the
method was both unfair to the Gus
toner and to US. Therefore, after
much study on the subject, we de-
cided that is would be better to be
in a position to quote fair price at
any time. on any job, and to be able
to quote the same price on the same
job at different times, provided the
market price of paper, ETC., did not
effect the job. Therefore, it is with
pleasure that we announce that we
have placed in our office a copy of
the Franklin Printing Price list, and
will be glad to quote on any job at
any time. This price list is fast be-
coming nation wide in its use, and
it will not be long before every shop
will be equipped with one.
We just noted last week that the
shops in New Orleans have Joined the
United Typotheate of America, and
a survey of that city shows that the
shops are over-equipped and that only
few have operated at profit, and
that most of them have been oper.
ated at loss.
We never have claimed that we
would do your printing cheaper thar
you can get it elsewhere, though we
do believe we have, but we do claim
that we can do it as we'll as it will be
done elsewhere. and hereafter, at q
price that is fair to both of US.

A MERRY CHRISTMAS

Before the Journal again makes
appearance Christmas will have pass
ed. Therefore, with the appearance
of this issue we wish you merry
Christmas and a happy New Year.

to be on the job last Christmas, that
day havino been spent by him on a
troop train travelling through the
the cane fields of South Louisiana,
enroute to Camp Beauregard to be
discharged from the Army, and the
night was spent unloading from the
train amid the rain and cold and in
hunting I'D tents. cots and blankets
to shelter for the night.
This year we hope Christmas day
we will be able to spend better, and
therefore, after looking backward to
last Christmas, we are happy, and

Mexican Petroleum
Law Not Taken Up
By Mexican Congress.

Mexico City, July 15-(Correspond-
ence Of the Associated Press)-Al-
though the Mexican congress was call
ed into extraordinary session on May
1, for the purpose Of passing. among
others. a petroleum law that would
carry out the provisions Of Article 81
LOT the new constitution. which ma
tionalizes. oil lands, up to the present
time the question has not been
for discussion in either the
senate or the chamber Of deputies.
Ell Democrats states thai the two
petroleum commissions appointed by
the lower house are considering the
objection raised by the foreign oil in
terests that Article 81 is in direct op-
position Of Article IA of the constitu-
ton. which prohibits retroactive legis-
lation.
Unofficial reports are to the effect
that President Carranza has washed
his hands Of the matter and. has put
it up to congress to find a solution. II
this theory is based on fact, accord
ing to a high officer of an American
| oil corporation here, the prolonged
delay of congress in taking up the oil
question would indicate that its lead
| ers are having a difficult time tc
reconcile the provisions of the con.

NO %ANTI-TOBACCO
CAMPAIGN PLANNED,
DECLARES WHEELER

Washington, Aug. 4.-wayne B.
Wheeler, counsel for the Anti-Saloon
league of America, took issue today
with the opinion OF Elihu Root, Will
liam D. Guthrie and William-L. Mar
bury, counsel for the United States
Brewers association, that the pro-
posed war prohibition enforcement
act was unconstitutional. Mr.. Wheeler
also denied that the league forces in
tend to start an anti-tobacco cam
paign.
The authority Of congress to enact
the war prohibition law" Mr.. Wheeler
said, rests on the provisions In the
legislation which gives congress power
to support the army and navy. This
power extends through rehabilitation.
The courts have so held.
1T is now we'll settled by the SUI
preme court that II congress has
power to enact a law, it also has the
power to enact additional legislation
to make the original act effective and
enforceable. To define the term in
~toxicating liquor is necessary to make
the act enforceable"
Referring to charges that the Anti.
Saloon league Is actively aiding in q
campaign Of the w. G. T. U. against
tobacco, Mr.. Wheeler said:
1.-THE anti-tobacco scarecrow of the
AUTHORIZATION association does not
fool anyone. The Anti-Saloon league
forces have no intention to start this
crusade. The liquor traffic Is q pub
lie nuisance. The tobacco habit may
be a private or personal bad habit. but
it is not in the same class as intoxi.

quered by Rumanian troops.
-Four million Rumantans Of Transyl-
vania had looked forward for years
for this time to come when the coun-
try in which they lived would again
be reunited to Rumania and they saw
in the coming of the King and Queen
evidence that this was accomplished.
In quaintness. originality and color
the parades held in many cities and
towns for the benefit Of the King and
Queen could hardly be exceeded. The
changed but little with the passing
centuries Some looked as though
they had stepped out of the Bible.
They wore sackcloth, homespun,
leather, wooden shoes, the loose shirt
with flowing sleeves worn by the old
Romans, leather girdles for carrying
weapons, highly :colored sashes and
shawls, beaded aprons and buckskin
m~occasins.

was the idol of all. Beside her stood
her .favorite child, the little Princes

IN the uniform of a general.

accompanying the royal party, he sa!d

marched past compensated him FOL

In addition to-theI parades there
were umerou displays resembling
the county fairs Of America. Thu

Those Of the Queen included rugs
