In Favor of Liquor.

The Supreme Court sitting in
Washington, D. c., Monday in
an extended opinion, held that
liquor acquired for personal use
prior to passage of the Volstead
act is immune from seizure.
This decision was reached in
the case of VIM. G. Street, who
sought to enjoin the Lincoln
Safe Deposit Company of New
York from forcing him to re-
move liquor from its vaults ano
to stop revenue officers from pro-
ceeding against him.
Justice Clarke, in the majority
opinion, said that congress il
passing the Volstead act did MOI
contemplate seizure of liquor fol
present use.

way we return our most heartfelt
thanks and appreciation. To the Ma

grateful for assistance in the sick
room, andI for the great honor be-
slowed in conjunction with the Eastern

nificent and impressive burial accorded
him. The beautiful and profuse floral

tended shall be remembered by US as
long as we cherish our loved ones

Don't Despise Home Products.

In devising ways and means to
combat old man H. c. L., house
wives should first give consider
alton to the use of home grown
foods, with which Louisiana is
blessed with an abundance, both
in quantity and quality. Some
of these foods, so common with
us as to be sometimes overlooked,
are considered delicacies by peo-
pie living in parts of the country
where such foods cannot be
grown. The sweet potato is in
this class. Modern curing meth
DDS make it possible to preserve
the sweet potato the year round.
If this vegetable were grown in
some remote section Of the coun-
try and its many excellent quail
ties advertised to US we would
not hesitate to pay as much per
peck as we are called on to pay
per bushel here at home. Truly
distance lends enchantment.
One of the chief virtues of the
sweet potato not commonly ap-
preciated is that it can be pre-.
pared in so many different ways
for the table. Circular No. Al,
recently issued by the State Uni.
versity extension division, gives
twenty odd sweet potato recipes,
ranging all the way from The
old-fashioned potato pudding t.
the more modern sweet potato
doughnuts and biscuits.

Living About the South.


Various and vicious lies about
the South were general during
the recent campaign. Even the
cartoonist resorted to them mi
the effort to help the Republl-
can candidate, and Republican
editors made no effort to edit out
the lies.
The Manufacturers Record
calls attention to a typical case.
It was a cartoon by McCutcheon,
long with the Chicago Tribune,
chief of the Northern newspaper
South-haters. The title was
"Why Taxes Are High" and
with it were these words:
"Fifty-two million bales OF
cotton bought from the South
an essential war material pur-
chased without the price restrlc-
tons which were placed on
wheat and other Northern and
Western war essentials. All this
cotton was rotting in Nitro City
a year after the armistice."
These statements are OF course,
as viIlainous as they are vicious.
The United States did not buy
So, 900, 900 bales of cotton from
the South for war purposes, at
high or low prices. The simple
fact is that during the two years
we were in war the entire pro-
duction of cotton was only 3d.
600, 900 bales. Nor did the gov
eminent by %, 100000 bales. Of
the two crops 100000 bales
were exported, and as Is, 200, 600
bales were consumed in Amerl-
can mills, it is clear that even
reserve stocks had to be requisl-
toned to meet the needs OF the
mills.
Quite unnecessary is it to
characterize as malicious the
statement that all this cotton
was rotting in Nitro City a year
after the armistice. Even Mr..
McCutcheon must realize the alb.
surdity of saying that 81, 600, OOt
bales were bought as an essen
tial war material and then never
used. Aside from that coulo
anything be more absurd thar
to say that 100000 bales Of
cotton had been accumulated any
where at any one time?-Nev

Our Pine Lands.

It would be we'll for Louisian-
ians not to grow overoptimistic
at the announcement of a solu-
ton of the problem what to do
with our cutover lands. Many
methods looking to their profit
able utilization have been pro-
posed. Yet the character, stand
ing, experience and wealth of
the Goodyear capitalists give un-
usual weight to their opinion that
these lands can be rapidly re-
forested with pulp producing
trees and supply the raw materi-
al for q vast and unlimited pa
per-making industry in Louisi-
ana.
These are the capitalists who
have built the thriving little city
of Bogalusa in the midst of viz
CINE forest, who are operating
in Louisiana the greatest lun1-
Der mills in the world, and, of
peculiar importance in respect to
the future use of our cut-over
lands have already established
q large and successful mill for
making the coarser grades of pa
per from the waste of the tim
Der they are are cutting.
When, therefore, they pass
such an opinion on the possible
ties in cut-over lands, and, more
over, accompany it with the an
nouncement that they are to add
four units to their paper mill at
a cost of 5000, 900 to manufac-
ture additional grades of paper.
of paper, they speak from the
standpoint of interests which al
ready have great achievements
to their credit and actually have
demonstrated that Louisiana can
furnish the raw material for a
new industry of unlimited pro-
portions.
We hope the high expectations
held out from the visit of the
Goodyear capitalists will be real
lied. If they are, the State will
owe a special debt to two mer

RESOLUTIONS

The harmony which character
lied the republican state conven-
tion yesterday was most marked
in the unanimity with which the
. report Of the resolutions committee
read by Chairman Il. A. Tostevin,
was adopted. The principal rcso-
lutions, pledging North Dakota
republicans to undivided support
Of the party and it's principles,
were as follows:
eve, the republicans of North
Dakota, in mass convention as
sembled, do pledge anew our al
legiance to those staunch princi-
pies which have ever been a part
of the doctrines of the republi-
can party.
"We condemn the waste and ex-
,travagance which has character
lied the present democratic ad-
ministration. ...
eve recognize in the array of
brilliant republican leaders, men
like Gen. Leonard Wood, Gov.
d Lowden, Warren Harding and
others, men under whose banner
all loyal republicans can with
pride align themselves.
"We believe in the inherent
loyalty of the republicans of
North Dakota to the principles of
the republican party and pledge
our undivided support to swing
North Dakota's vote to the re-
publican nominee for president
with the old-time majority.
eve believe in the priceless
heritage of American citizenship
that the government of the Unit
ed States is the best government
on earth and we stand unaltera-
bly, opposed to doctrines Of So
cialism, I. W. W.-ism, Bolshev-
ism, Communism and all doc
trines inimical to a republican
form of government"
The committee also presented a
resolution expressing coincidence
for National Committeeman Gun
der Olson, confined in hospital
at Grafton and unable to attend

animously adopted.
