He could either spend it in that time or lose it, and
in this way the saving Of money would be impossible
There would therefore, be no capital.

OH GIVE US A REST!

From the tribe of political bally-
hoo artists, press agents, spell-bind-
ers and clacquers, good Lord deliver
us!
The campaign for state officers in
Louisiana is now in its third month,
and has nearly two more months to
run. Questions big with moment to
Louisiana press for debate and 70"
solution. Issues that touch the we :
fare of farmers, industrial workers,
property owners and those who want
to own property, are clamoring for
the attention Of thoughtful men and
though Al women. Matters that at
feet the very safety of the home and
the existence Of our institutions call
for notice.
And what we get from stump and
headquarters is a mixed flood Of
balderdash, platitude, vituperation
and recrimination.
Will not the two gentlemen who
are running for governor, each one
with a record of good service to his
state and his nation, take time off
from touring, to squelch their vocif-
erous henchmen? Sober-minded folk
who care not a whoop who gets a job
so long as Louisiana gets intelligent
and honest service, would like to have
cessation in the din long enough to
hear some sound discussion from peo-
pie that count on topics that are real.

is plain, simon-pure tOmmyrot. And
moaning about the sanctity of party

spective possible courses of action as
