Columbus. Ohio, Dec 23.--h the friends
of Governor Cox are in position TO
control the situation, there VIII be no
reorganization of the Democratic Nation
al Committee in the immediate iuture'
and it may be many months before TINS
question is approached IN decisive man

Chairman George White will not re,

lev, Daniel L. Roper, Joseph I. lumuity
or any other who has been mentlo ned Ill
connection with the reorganization pro-
gram.
These facts BECAME known today from
sources close to Governor Cox. The late
Presidential candidate, who rough'
about the election of Mr.. White, and who
has dominated the machinery OF the
Democratic party since his nomination
Mt San Francisco, is represented as be,
ing fatty opposed To the surrender OF
that control nj this tune.
He is particularly opposed, IT Is sald'
to delivering the national committee INTO
the hands Of friends of former Secretary
of the Treasury William G.. McAdoo at
this stage. IL may develop later that
MIR. McAdoo will become the logical
candidate Of the party in 1924, but Gov
ernor Cox is said to believe that n is
far too early for the McAdoo supporters
to enter the field with the obvious pur-
pose of scizing control of the party ma
chinery IN behalf Of their favorlte
Commenting specifically upon the Chad
bourne candidacy for the Democratic
national Guardianship, friends OF Governor
Cox declared that they had no objection
10 him personally but that his election,
in view Of his relationship to MIR. McAdoo.
could only mean that the MoAdoo people
were seeking TO pre-empt the Presidential
nomination four years hence, an enter
prise which the Cox people stubborrl>
will discourage.

FOREIGNER SETS GOOD
EXAMPLE.

The above is a line that is far
reaching to say the least, but one
thing is certain and an assured
fact, and that is that a Chinese
living within our corporate limits
has done just that. His name is
C. S. Hong and he is the roprie-
tor Of a Chinese hand laundry.
He proved his loyalty to the
City of New Iberia early in the
week when he became a sustaining
member of the Chamber of Com
merce. He desires that the City
shall grow and prosper, and is
firmly Of the belief that a mem
bership in the Chamber Of Com
merce thereby lending him a
in civic affairs, is one certain way
Of getting an opportunity of be-
ing heard, and of learning what
others views are on matters Of
the moment, especially those
topics involving the future WEI
fare of New Iberia.
Mr.. Hong was born in China
over fifty years ago and migrated
from the land of idols over thirty
years ago. This Chinese had no
more idea at that time Of what
civic pride meant than does the
man in the moon. He was just a
simple, bland and ever ready-toL
iearn Chinaman. But he learned ;
he prospered; he reads the pa
pers; knows considerable more Of
the politics Of America than one
would naturally believe; believes
in the Christian religion; is a be-
lever in progress; and hopes that
China will soon become filed with
commercial clubs and civic or
carnations which build up com
munities and countries.
While comparisons are odious-
especially when it hits some Of
our so-called public Spirited citi-
zens and bombastic orators
STRAIGHT between the eyes-one
thing is certain that if a Chinese
can and does believe in progress.
and puts up his cold cash to
prove his assertions, its high time
for most of us to realize the value
of a desirable citizen. Is Hong
one? Well say he is

protected. Carelessness in throw
ING old boxes into Easements or
piling old lumber or refuse within
reach will supply shelter for rats
despite concerted ground area.
The precaution must be constant
and consistent.
Another Importance phase is to
cut off the rodent migrations.
Prevent rats from moving from
place to place. Their time-hon-
ored highway is through sewers.
Modern sewers afford no protec-
ton, inviting rodents to live IN
them as formerly. Scarcely less
important, access should be
stopped. Catch basin feeding

that rats can not slip through
