THURSDAY EVENING, MARCH II
RACK TO FIRST PRINCIPLES.

The statement Just issued by the
supreme council OF the allied nations
indicates a very queer conception on
the part of the other governments
represented that the great need OF
the world today is a return to first
principles, to the principle involved
in the declaration to Adam: In the
sweat of thy face shalt thou q
bread and in the revised version
stated some two thousand years 6
that il a man will not work neither
shall ne eat.
Economists have pointed out many
times that the war could not use up
the production of the future, that it
must be fought by means Of the ma
terial in manpower and commodities
already on hand. That is true. Men
unborn could not fight in the great
war, and food u%nproduced< and mu-
nitions manufactured could not be
used in it.
But it is not true hat the war
could be conducted without making
immense drains upon the future.
The accumulated stores OF wealth
which had been pilinS up for gen.
erations were necessary for the gem
eral activities Of the race. We have
long since passed the period when it
was possible to live from hand to
mouth and at the same time 20 enjoy
the comforts of civilization. There
must be great stores of goods of all
50 L:~~ 1;4n;h,3;~ ~ coda,
/ that the needs Of the people may be
met the moment they become mani
I fest. Those accommodations have been
/ destroyed, and they must be replen-
! ished before the world is again on it's
! feet.
The council places particular EN-
! phasis upon the conditions Of Eu-
: rope and this is proper because Eu-
/ rope. the late seat of a has suf-
fered from that war more greatly and
more directly than has n other part
! ,of the world. But the economic
conditions in Europe are in very
! large measure the economic condi-
stions OF the world, the difference be-
ing one of degree. We in the Unit
led States have experienced our share
of the evil. Our production IA
cilities have been diverted from their
usual channels and the work Of res
toration has really not we'll been be-
gun We share the effects Of the
unsettled monetary conditions of the
world, the result 81 which is an at.
mosphere of uncertainty and a condi.
ton OF initiation which prevails il
every line of trade. Coupled with
this there has been the agitation OF
revolutionists who have sought tc
create the belief that there is a quick
and easy way to wealth and luxury
without labor.
There is no"such way. The world
can be rehabilitated only by going tc
work, by reducing military equipment
TO the point necessary for the preser
walton Of order, and through the
abandonment of all schemes OF am.
litious extensions of territorial in.
%fluences and political supremacy. TIL.
nations, not only of Europe but O.
all the world must settle down, qui
their foolishness and get busy.

NTHE FRIENDS OF SPRING.
When the, world wakes up from
slumber. and the daffodils appear,
And the sky gets blue above me and
l know the Spring is here;
When the birds beginsto chatter and
there's something in the air
Which sets a man to thinking of the
garden waiting there,
1t is then the plants and roses and
each budding vine and tree
Seem just like good old neighbors
that I've waited long to see.
Oh. it's like the break Of morning.
and there's someone that you know
Passes down the street and halls you,
and you shout a glad .hello!"
Or It's like the friendly greeting that
you give TO people when
They've been away for weeks and
weeks and just got home again;
Or at least that's how l view 1t. for it
really seems to me
That I've got to give a welcome to
every bud / see.
1 go into the garden and / watch
each plant and vine
For the signs Of their awakening, for
they're all good friends Of mine,
/ bend above the roses, and I
greet them with a shout
OF delight there's no mistaking when
l find1them budding out;
Oh, I'm mighty glad to see them, and
l want to let them know,
And I think they understand 1t when
they hear me call .'hello!'

Queer and white land owners dispose
of large quantities Of the sugar. Some
of the Indians are arranging to mar

some OF the mystery winch
his political affiliations. or lack Of
them. He says hat before the war
he was a Progressive Republican, and
that during the var he recognized
no party in his performance of public
service. Now when the presidential
campaign is on he finds himself un-
able to decide as between the Two
great parties because the issues which
he believes to be of supreme import
ance are issues upon which neither
party has expressed itself definitely.
He says that he is equally opposed to
the reactionary spirit in one branch
Of Republicans. and to the radical
spirit in one branch of the Democrat
ic party. He states further that it is
his personal desire to remain a pri-
vate citizen, devoting himself to his
personal affairs. but hat he con
ceives it to be the duty of every 10y

real call for service which comes to

SWIFT CAREER IS HALTED
Pittsburgh Boy Was Spending DoIaI
Minute Until Detectives
Interfered.

Pittsburgh.-Until meddlesome rep
resentativeS of the police department
interfered, John SkOwran, Is, startled
other visitors at Westview Park by
the lavishness with which he peeles
bills off biz roll he carried. But tht
boy was interrupted by inquisitive de
tectives working on mysterious rob
berries of North side business houses.
The police say careful check uE
on Johns expenditures shows he was
reducing his wad at the rate of a dol
lar minute, and that he had plenty
left.
The boy is said to have made a con.
feSSiOn and testimony before Magis.
trate A. O. Richards in the Morals
court, accused him of entering at least
three business houses. The amount of
the loot was not aScertained, although
the youthful offender is said to have
admitted that in one of the stores,
that of George Robin in Beaver, he
got $40 from the cash register after
forcing open a side door.
In each case the boy appeared to
have operated with the caution and
skill of practical rohber. He was
sent to the Juvenile court.

TEN MILLION GALLONS
WET GOODS FREED.
Judge Holds Transport of Law
fully Acquired Liquor to
Owners Homes Legal

Storage of lawfully acquired liquors
in commercial warehouses, and the
transportation Of such stocks to the
home OF the owner is not prohibited
by the VOlstead act, under decision
handed down Monday by the supreme
court.
In passing on the appeal of William
G. Street, of New York, from decisions
of lower courts refusing to enjoin local
revenue officials from Selling liquors
he had placed in room rented from
safe deposit company, the supreme
court reversed the lower court, and
held the injunction should be granted.
The effect of this decision had not
been fully appraised tonight by the in
ternal revenue bureau and prohibition
enforcement officials. The belief was
expressed, however, that the result
might be the release of some 100000
gallons of intoxicating beverages,
stored in warehouses since January 16,
1920. Shreveport Times.

,LUMNIUS WELL ABANDONED
AFTER THIRD TEST

After spending year and halt
in the attempt to locate oil on the
Mcclure tract in the south edge of
Arcadia, the Lummus Oil Company is
preparing to leave, having given uI
hopes after drilling three tests. In
each case plenty of oil sand was found
but at the critical time either drill
was lost, or a cave-in occurred, OF
some other accident which prevented
a satisfactory test. The last test came
in salt water
In other tests made within a radius
Of three or four miles of Arcadia con.
siderable gas has been encountered
with every evidence of oil except the
oil itself
Interest is now conferred in the test
being made on the Fields tract by
the Homer Extension Syndicate.

MEMBER OF DEMOCRATS

Mr.. Clarnece Griffin will be great
ly missed by the other members of
the Democrats force during the next
two or three weeks, as the result of
serious operation which he under
went successfully at the Schumpert
Sanitarium in Shreveport at 10 o'clock
Tuesday morning. His many friends
will be glad to learn that he stood the
operation we'll and at the time of
this writing, is doing as nicely as
can be expected.
Mr.. Griffin has been in the employ
of the Democrat for nearly five years,
except for one or two brief periods,
and has risen from Office devil to
a very efficient printer and depend
able makeup man. He is always on
the job, and is not afraid of work.

POLICE JURY LET'S
ROAD CONTRACT

The Bienville Parish Police jury
met Id regular session Monday for the
dispatch of regular business, and to
receive bids for the building OF a
model road from Black Lake through
Ringgold to the Red River Parish
line. AS has always been the case
since the matter of road building has
been on foot. in Bienville Parish Tor
perhaps we should say under dis
cussion') people from various sec
tons Of the Parish were present to
see what action the Police Jury would
take. There was seemingly mis-
understanding Of the motives OF the
Police Jury In letting out the con-
tracts for the roads in Ward -Four
first, and large delegation OF cit
liens from Ward Three appeared be-
fore the body to protest.
But 1t was explained that this piece
of road was being let out now be-
cause the surveys were completed, the
location of the road was satisfactory
to those who are most concerned, and
that the amount TO be expended upon
these roads would come within the
Wards prorata Of the road funds, and
that the contracts on the other roads
would be let just as rapidly as the
prcfiles and surveys were approved
BY the State Highway Department,
The people Of Ward Three stated
that all they wanted was square

this, and we understand they with.
drew their protest, in as much as the
location of the road within Ward -Four
did not affect the location in Ward
Three Ia the least.

whom the contract has been awarded.
