DEWEY'S HOME TO BECOME
A STORE

Purchased with the pennies of
school children and the contribu-
tons of patriotic citizens as a
tribute to a hero, the house at l747
Rhode Island avenue, Washington,
D. c., given to Admiral George
Dewey in 1899 has been sold out of
family and is being converted into
a store. The residence was possibly
the largest factor in dimming the
halo of one of the most popular
figures ever before the American
public. The deed to the house was
delivered to the Admiral October
25th, 1899, about two weeks before
his wedding. Three weeks later
there was a wave Of protest when
lie transferred the property to Mrs.
Dewey. It was afterwards trans
ferred TO the Admirars son, George.
Dewey and his wife did not occupy
the property long, moving TO the
house at Sixteenth and K streets.
Admiral Dewey died January 10th,
1917.

Every wellinformed man in the

its place. We think that the trainers
of the new constitution could we'll fol

has stood the test of more than thirty
years and still works we'll in our

that will be necessary is to have all

ton and that would be comparatively
easy. So far as the ending of vote
buying the legislature should be called
on to pass laws supressing it. AS it
is. to cucumber the constitution with
a lot of experimental dead-wood would
tend in great measure to loadthat in

SHOOT THE TRAITORS"

1t is somewhat startling, as well as
amusing, to read the interview OF
Wayne B. Wheeler, general counsel of
the anti-sallon league, wherein he adj
vises that all tipplers and Violators
of the prohibition law be shot.
If we remember correctly, there IS
an old saying to the effect that Whom
the gods would destroy they first
make mad" General Counsel Wheel
er certainly must be placed in that
category, and If his peculiar mad
ness" runs amuck further there is no
telling what dire calamity may befall
him and the cause he represents.
The advocates of national drouth
forced through their scheme during
the war when everyone was willing
to adopt any measure to further the
cause Of victory for American and al
lied arms on the battlefields of Eu-
rope. Under no other circumstances
could have prohibition been choked
down the threats of an otherwise free
people. The champions OF drouth
would not dare now to place the mat
ter before the people on a referendum
for they know full we'll what the re-
suit would be. This country has been
aust a saialltssn bsaonths, yet the
leaks" in the ten thousand miles Of
border are making breach IN tne le-
wee of protection, while the illegal
manufacture of the contraband stuff
is gaining Roadway in every state of
the nation e,and even the rum hounds
of the department of justice, well
paid for their services, can not put
an end Of the violation OF law.
When law is not respected it can
not be enforced. So Mr. Wheeler, raw.
ing and foaming with madness, says
every violator as we'll as every man
who "tipples" should be shot! If his
advice were followed and every tip
pier shot" there would be few Ameri
cans left to run the government, and
no one recognizes that fact better
than Mr.. Wheeler himself. He charges
that these violators and near-violators
of the law are breeding. spirit Of
bolshevism on the free soil of Amer
lea. The charge is a boomerang, FOL
the cause he represents is and was
the first incentive for the spreading
Of bolshevism and a spirit OF unrest
and when he starts this new doctrine
of shooting the traitors" he is open
ing a quagmire that will bog up h,
and his cause.

A HAPPY NEW YEAR

This is the last issue Of the star

have been greater than the ups; but

has faith enough in this city, parish,
state and nation to believe sincerely
that nothing will keep down the softly
rolling wave of permanent prosperity;
that when conditions again become

WHERE uNscRAMBLINe FAILED

At the beginning of the war, when
the government took over control of
rain lines, express companies and 9th
or public utilities, in the process of
scrambling CORPORATIONS ana. athas'
utffftles the hume rous G
press companies were united In one
giant enterprise for the purpose of
facilitating the nation in performing
It's part in the world war. This
scrambling process was in violation OF
the letter and spirit of the antitrust
law but neither courts nor individuals
protested because it was necessary
for the moment and when the war
ended and government control ceased
it was fully expected tina tall amalga-
nations would automatically cease and
each individual company become once
again a separate entity.
The war has been over more than
two years. The railroads and express
companies we're turned back to their
owners ten months ago. Each rail
line is now being operated separately
just as it was before government con-
troll began. The express companies,
however, recognizing the splendid
thing they had in a single monopoly
refused to unscramble and are now
one giant corporation under the name
given by the government-The Amer.
ican Railways Express-and the in
terstate commerce commission has re.
Gently ruled that the giant can re-
main unscrambled, the antitrust law
to the contrary Notwithstanding. The
government set the precedent and the
companies have seized the occasion to
remain as one and reap gigantic pro
fits from the patrons. There is now
no competition in the express bust
ness over the several hundred thous
ands of miles Of railway lines and ap
parentIy hte government is powerless
70 undo what it did during the times
of stress and national danger. Where
is the statesman or statesmen who
can rise to the occasion and Offer
some really remedy that will relieve
the people of a giant octopus that Is
feeding on their yitals?

THE QUESTION OF SUFFRAGE

A New Orleans delegate to the con-
Vention tells why he favors the
adoption of a provision in the con-
stitution which would make an edu-
cational qualification for the voters
OF this state necessary.
In a sense the point may be we'll
taken, in that it will tend to the
breaking up of vote.buying and stop
forever this nefarious practice. But
in another sense it will not be treating
right a large class of men who are
honest and who mean well and wish
to vote for the best interests of the
state and parish Unfortunately they
have never learned to read or write
and being illiterate they. too, would
be shut out from the electorate and
made to suffer because the provisions
of the proposed law was aimed at the
veAal illiterate.

Louisiana Music Teachers associa-
4ion, the state board Of education is
granting high school credit for work
done outside of school This privil-
eye is enjoyed by children living in
other sections of this country. 1t car
ries with it the assurance that the
child's musical education is in the
hands of competent teacher; that
the unsteady gifted child will have
an opportunity to get a high school
education and, the special training
that is essential at that time, and that
he has fair chance to do justice to
both. All students of our high schools,
who are studying instrumental mu-
sic, should arrange their high school
work to conform with that suggested

Mr.. Editor:
In your issue of December H. an

I After a careful perusal Of a eongEo-
merate mass of bad English, worse
diction. and rhetorical Assininity'
am forced to conclude that susie
has an exaggerated case of mental
itch
The irritant, to her otherwise gooo
Cd nature, that caused the emission
of such sulphurous vituperations
against the good people OF Coulee
Croche" seems to have been tire
troubles. Optimistic indeed, one who
owns an automobile and does not an
ticipate punctures and blow-outs. But,
Sue, my dear girl, you came to Cou-
lee Croche on the rim, and did you
expect that the old family heirloom
would grow another tire?
You were told by the good people
OF Coulee Croche" that the asthmatlc
old bus was suffering from senile de-
generation, and that the night air
void probably no tagree with its deli
cate constitution. Why, then, such
diatribe on the ingratitud eof the
good people of Coulee Crochet" Do
you not admit that the old "Tooner-
vile Trolley was two miles away,
when "auto troubles doomed up?" BY
the way, Susie. for my information,
could you explain this unusual
phenomena? don't remember ever
having seen them loom up"
In summing up your extraordinary
vicissitudes, you use the sentence "a
bad fix but not to be detected or
mended." Now, Susie, may l pre-.
sumo upon your proverbial generosity
and beg that you enlighten me as 10
your meaning? have performed all
sorts of mental gymnastics, but can
not understand what was the matter
with the elk" Elucidate, Susie, come
clean.
The protests of Susie would be ira
gic were they not so ludicrous. Il
the same breath that she heaps an
athemas upon the heads of the "goo,
people Of COulee Croche" she say
that one of them, Mr.. Savoie, tool

Did you want the whole congregation

that "a thousand tongues be give
