 We have been implored to say a word concerning certain incidents at tendant upon the reception accorded Gen. Pershing by the local Red Cross. We have nothing further than to say that evidently somebody thought they were giving a double cross" luncheon.
 The tendency is to attribute such regretable mishaps to clique rule. But in public business you can't get away from cliques. Somebody mus take the lead and be responsible in the formula ton and consummation or plans. It is only when the clique fizzles the job that just cause for complaint arises We are for the clique so long as it produces the goods. And when it fails we join in kicking it out of it's berth. And then we get new brand of bone headed plays.
 "A jazz band has practically revolu- tionized local society,"" writes Eugene RedewilI in our contemporary's musi- cal dept. So? Then are we to desig- nate the recent Red Cross luncheon as a counter revolution in local society circles?

THE HORSE RACE

In discussing Oliver Wendell Holmes, the editorial talent on The Republican remarked that among the poems or Holmes that he liked best was one about a horse race.
 II read il once years ago., he re- marked, but I haven't seen copy Of it since. None of the poets collections that I have seen contained this par ticular poem.'
 He outlined it as the story of a clergyman who bought horse, not knowing that time had been when that old nag was some race horse, with the pepper on the some. But when the minister bought him. he looked to be everything but a racer.
 The sexton of the church, however, got wind of the horses history and succeeded in inducing the minister to let the old nag be entered in meet at the local track. The advent of the supposedly mediocre piece of horse flesh on the track created a litter. The jockey hired to do the riding took the entry as a sort of burlesque.
 Well, they're off, And the clergy mans dark horse is a little awkward in getting out from under, but as he begins to hit his stride the poet de- scribes the increasing rythm as akin to the awakening rapidity of
 The ponderous walking beam Under the gathering head of steam. or words to that effect. until his speed becomes so great as to alarm his rider. whose trepidation is described: '.The frightened jockey formed a prayer Of scraps of oaths he used to swear The preachers nag, of course. brings home the bacon, etc., etc. We have forgotten just what the conclusion is, but it is little matter.
 Though this poem was written so many years that it seems to have been the product of another age, yet at this imaginary meeting there was a turf man present of whom all have heard: Bud Doble, whose catarrhal name Has filled the nasal trump of fame.'
 Now if any of our readers have q copy of this bit of Holmes work we shall be grateful if such good reader will send it to us.

 Conspiracy Trial

DETROIT.-Called to testify in his own defense, Captain Soterios Nichol- son, one of the six defendants in the army graft conspiracy trial in federal court declared that he was the real father of the league of nations idea and that President Wilson had bor- rcwed it.

 Born in Greece Captain Nicholson, who received an honorable discharge from the army after his arrest for all legged conspiracy to defraud the gov ernment through the sale of salvaged munitions, came to the United States as a stowaway. When the war broke out he was a successful practitioner in Washington and was consul for the Greek legation.

mond. There he was arrested un-
der suspicion of robbing store and
given thirty days in Jail. He. was
taken out by the chief of police, who
put him to work as yard boy. He
made him present of pair of
shoes. The store was robbed a Sec
ond time, and Boil Weevil, who
seems to work better without shoes
and with as few clothes as possible,
lef his shoes in the building and the
chief of police recognized them.
This led to an investigation which
showed that Boil Weevil was an es-
capped convict with $40 reward for
his capture. Sheriff Galatas Of s..
Tammany gave this information
over the phone to the Hammond
chief Of police and Boil Weevil was
taken back to the pen.

at the Harding bureau that this
state will go Republican in Novem-

the Democrats are sure to Win

sure as you live.
Our own governor, John M. Park

(Sept. 25). hope he will put
some Louisiana Democratic dyna-
mite into this Republican strong
hold.
Dayton, the home of Cox, is a
short trolly ride from here, and l

"In Tangipahoa parish we crossed
