PARIS. tBy Mail.l-That Bolsnevism
Nll never take any firm hold in the
United States is the statement Of Amer
ican authorities here Who know eco
monte and sociological conditions both
here and in the United States.
They based their conclusions largely
on the fact that Bolshevism has flour
ished most extensively where the class
distinctions are the greatest-where the
gulf between the rich and the poor Is
the widest. In this connection they
pointed out that Russia was the first
nation 20 fall victim 90 the excuses Of
Bolshevism There the gap between the
rich and poor was the greatest
Bolshevism does not surprise the men
who have studied it They point out
that every great war In Europe has
been followed by a more or less violent
reaction. Once Il developed into a
struggle for political liberty; now 1t de-
velops into a struggle for more equit-
able distribution OF the wealth Of ma
tons
Americans here who have been keep
ing their finger on the pulse Of Europe
believe that the pendulum will swing
back TO a more nearly normal state.
There has been much talk that Ger
many would dissolve into Bolshevism.
This may or may not be true. some
people coming out Of Germany say they
doubt It. The French have recently
been circulating what purports 20 be a
speech Of Brockdorff-Rantzau declaring
that there Is no menace Of Bolshevism
in Germany, but declaring that the
threat Will be held over the heads OF
The allies IN the hope Of securing a bet
ter peace than others would be in the
case.
Then there are predictions that
France will stir into revolution when
she finds that she must pay higher
taxes because Germany is not TO be
forced TO pay the whole cost Of the war,
as the politicians originally said she
would. But American experts have told
the United Press that they believe there
Is more prospect Of industrial unrest
and perhaps real Observation-Disclosures
land than In France.
As for the United States, they say
that there are less chances Of Bolshc-
vism there than anywhere else, They
believe that America has prosperity
ahead as soon as war conditions are re-
adjusted. and they say that there is
comparatively little class distinction.
Some Of the experts admit that Boil

WHY AM FOR JNo. M. PARKER
By w. T. Holland, Editor of the
Greensburg Echo

0feenSDurS Ecno
First-Because between man and
man, he is our choice for governor.
Second Because he is independent
in thought and action and follows
conscience regardless of adverse crit
icism.
Third-Because he places the in
terests fthe people and state above
party whims.
Fourth-Because his record shows
that he has been absolutely consistent
in thought and action all his life, and
there never has been any power on
earth that could corrupt him or
swerve him from the path of recti-
tude.
Fifth-Because his record shows
that he has always stood faithfully by
the masses of the people and fought
the ring and all political corruption
straight from the shoulder.
Sixth-Because at this time Louis
lana needs farmer and business man
as governor, if we ever hope to make
any material and moral progress.
Seventh-Because he would digni-
fly the office of governor and restore
the government back to the people to
whom it rightfully belongs.
Eighth-Because the whiskey ele-
ment, the gamblers, race track men
and all such are supporting the other
man
Ninth-Because Ex-Governor Luz
Their E. Hall, who committed political
treason as soon as he was elected gov
ernor, is supporting the other fellow.
Tenth-Because his opponent is a
corporation lawyer and, in our hum
BILE opinion, has no common interest
with the humber classes of our pop
ulation, and would be bound to ca
ter to the corporations and manipu-
lators of political affairs. This
would be as natural as for water to
seek its level.
observation-disclosures John M. Par
ker's administration would be a con-
structive one, and being largely inter
ested in farming, his administration
would give great impetus to agricul-
ture.
Twelfth-Because, after all has
been said, we could not possibly af-
ford to miss this chance of electing
the biggest man in Louisiana COVER
nor, and we are going to honor our
self by honoring him.

machinery, and household items that
even this big list as advertised by Mr..
L. F. Wheeless only tells a part of
the story.
Mr.. Wheeless has big farm (three
quarter sections) and is to all intent
and purpose a wheat farmer. His
large home and barns are provided
! with modern conveniences. These
are not described in this list, and all
have been accumulated within COM
paratively few years in this new
country. But we were especially in
terested in the fact that last Satur-
day he brought to Liberal, two
wagons in which were loaded thirteen
pigs and lis hens, all grown within
the last year. He sold the thirteen
pigs for $4,000, and the lis hens
for $4,000.
Then another item in connection
with the pigs. He said that he had
five cows that he MIXED, and that the
cream separator had divided the skim
milk from the cream, and this had
been the principal part of the feed
that had fattened these pigs and
nurtured four calves.
Now we come to the paying of the
grocery bills. The cream separated
from the milk above mentioned, and
the eggs produced by the lis hens
have more than paid the grocery
bills for his family and help-in fact
he finds that the grocers with whom
he has traded are his debtors to
very comfortable little sum.
1t is no wonder that under these
conditions, Mr. and Mrs. Wheeless
feel that they are entitled to a vaca-
ton, and will leave the latter part Of
next week for a visit with relatives
in Violona, Arkansas, and from there
go to Fit. Worth, Texas, and thence
for an extended trip to California,
and along the Pacific coast.
Mr.. Wheeless has leased his farm,
to which he gives possession August
1st
