succession Of gray, cludy, muir

FOR the past four weeks we have

five hours of sunshine, and the

gether an unusual one for long
continued disagreeab:e weather
for this locality. We look for

we look for hot weather in the

certainly has been q good many

WOMEN EXCEED MEN
IN JAPANESE FACTORIES
$50, 600 Japanese Women Work
at Average Daily Wage Of Ten

There are more women In industry
In Japan than there are men, accord
to statement recently made by the
War Work Council OF the Young Wo-
mems Christian Association.
i The world war has brought 5O,000
women and girls into the daily grind
Of industry according to this state
ment !; $4,000. Of them little girls under
fifteen years OF age who wsrk twelve
hours at a wage Of ten to twenty cents
a day, that the world may have siik
dresses and munitions.
In Tokyo alone, q city Of two and
one-half million people. there are 100,s
900 women employed In -sixty-two In
dustries and businesses varying from
work as telephone operators. clerks,
photographers and bookseepers to
work In silk and other sorts Of fac.
tories and domestic work.
Each year thousands Of these wo-
men go back to their homes In the
country, broken In health and victims
Of tuberculosis because Of the poor
conditions under which they work and
live. They are housed In dormitories
Ia the factory compound These dorInl-
tories are frequently unsanitary. The
girls work long hours. have no recre-
alton asd on finishing their long day

has been sleeping In all day.
As part of Its world service for wo-
men. the Young Women's Christian
Association plans to build dormftories
In manufacturing towns where girls
may live cheaply under heaithfui
physical and social conditions. to send
out secretaries who can -intfodree rec.

This Is done with the cooperation

/ do not understand why Mr..
Duncan drew such a line of dis
tinction by stating he wanted to
express to the Item the appre-
citation of the best people" of
Grant parish, intimating that
only those who supported Mr..
Parker were the best. I'VE all
know if we know anything there
were as many black sheep voting
for Mr.. Parker as there we're for
Col. Stubs. There was as re-
spectacle, honest, upright voters
who voted against Parker as
voted for him.
individually Il does not affect
me, but to say the least of it, it
was unjustifiable, and consider
it wrong for a public man to
create disrespect for body of
people because they voted in ac-i
cofdance with their honest con-
victions. Mr.. Duncan and all of
his followers did not accomplish.
their desires in Grant as they
were defeatedinour parish by the
whole people who reside in the
rural districts as well as the
towns. On an average they were
the very best people in our par
ish, who make their living by
the sweat of their brow. 1t is
simply unjust to accuse them of
being an accomplice in bringing
about a catastrophe to the State.
For justice only.

The Result of the Gubernatorial Pri-
mary Election.

The Result of the GubernatOrial Prl.
mary Election.
The result of the primary cleo
ton to nominate a Democratic
candidate for governor has re-
suited in the nomination of Hon.
John M. Parker by. a majority of
aoout thirteen thousand over
Col. Frank P. Stubs. The city
of New Orleans gave Col. Stubbs
a majority of 5000, but this was
overcome by the country vote
which gave Mr.. Parker approx
mately $4,000 majority. The to-
tai vote cast in the State was
about 1875, 900.
The editor of the Chronicle es-
poused the cause Of Col. Stubs
and meets defeat in his choice
for governor for the fourth time
in fifty years. We have no apol-
ogies to make or excuses to offer
for our position in the campaign.
Our choice was deliberate and
was based on what we believed
to be good and sufficient reasons.
Col. Stubbs' father was a per-
sonal friend Of this editors faith

preference at the ballot box for

and now stand ready to vote for
MI. Parker, and shall support his
administration just as Loyalty as
any Democrat in the land, and
hope all our friends will do ike.
