PUBLIC HEALTH LECTURES

The police jury builded better than
II knew when it made possible the
experiment Of a public health de-
partment in ST. Landry parish At
every turn we hear that the efforts
Of Miss Dorothy Stockton are bearing
much fruit OF good. prevention is
better than cure is an old axiom and
no department of public service is
this more true than in the department
OF public health. Through the chill
dren in our schools the health nurse
can reach into every home. She takes
a deep interest in the well being OF
the yoiuh OF the parish, and since
the America of tomorrow is in the
school today, no efforts should be
considered too costly to have the
fundamental rules of good living in
calcula. d luto the minds of the
young.
Miss stockton has also extended
her work to the colored school chill
dren. ypening of the clinic for
the colorea people on Court street

people.
In cooperation with the physicians
Of the town Miss Stockton sought to
bring home to the colored people.

U. S. Is WARNED
TO PROFIT BY
LESSONS OF War
Col. Palmer Says Citizens
Army Is Answer to
Preparedness

washington. oct s1-Two lessons
Of the world war, learned at heavy
cost, are sharply emphasized in a
war department bulletin soon to be
issued giving the first official picture
Of the new national defense structure
projected in the re-organized arm
One lessons comes direct from ?
battlefields of France. It is that effi-
Gent staff work is vital to modc /
military operations, and with it q
the coroIlary that staff functions q
not be learned overnight.
The other comes from the war t
din and confusion Of the centralize'
training camps at home. It is that e.
ficient mobilization OF the nations
fighting strength can be carried out
only as a decentralized process
through agencies set up in times o.
peace.
Realization that these lessons must
be worked into the new military pos
icy IL perilous delay and costly con
fusion which preceded past mobili-
cations are to be avoided has marked
the effort Of the war department.
The bulletin. shows that il has at
temped OF write reguIa lions aaser
the revised National Defense act that
would furnish a scheme for wa
mobilization without violating nation
al traditions against militarism or
creating machinery that would i'm
pose heavy burdens in peace times
upon the taxpayers.
The project probably IS. the most
farreaching military effort the no
ton has ever attempted in peace
times.
The foundtion work has been
done. All over the country decentral
izer machinery is being set up cap
able, it's designers believe, Of getting
the nation on a war footing with
little delay and confusion. Yet it IS
felt that the nation at large and
even the most important links in the
new defense chain, the regular army;
the national guard and the officers
reserve corps do not appreciate fully
what is being done.
Colonel John MICA Palmer, assign
ed to aid congress in frnling the leg

has devoted himself to study of the
subject, was called upon to furnish
the document and his work is to go

THE PRESIDENTS MISTAKE

President Harding undoubtedly
wants to be friend Of the South
as indeed, of everybody. Yet hi
tactIess speech at Birmingham tn
other day would give an impression
OF the reverse.
How tactless it was must have
been apparenV to the President ever
before its delivery was completed
He had been welcomed to Birming
ham with much enthusiasm and eyi
dences of sympathy and ELECTION,
But, according to friendly press cor
respondent, by the whites in his large
and representative audience and only
applauded bv the colored segment.
Such an effect the President.
course, did not expect. He wanted to
please bath races with his views on
the question of their relations to each
other. That obviously he delighted
one and offended the other must have
convinced him that either the speech
vas mistake or the place Of its
delivery wrong
The burden of the speech was that
the negro should be denied social
equality but given complete Political
and economic equality, carrying with
it the right to hold office of every
character, from the highest to the low
est.
The president, it goes without say
ing, Is entintled to his opinion. But
when he advocates such policy in
dealing with the racial question in the
south he confesses a complete mis-
understanding OF conditions here and
proposes something which would be
prolific Of Infinite mischief or worse
That is aside from the fact that ne
seems not to appreciate that If the ne.
gro were given complete political
equality he would sooner or later at
tain a power and influence with which
he would seek to compel social equali
".
The President viii come south
again. We hope to have him in New
Orleans in March, for he tentatively
accepted an inyitation to be here at
that time. Whenever he journeys
south be will have respectful and
kindly reception.
But hereafter when he crosses the
line he ought avoid discussion of the
racial Question and devote himself to
the expression Of other lines Of
thought.
The south IS handling the race
question in the only way it can be
handled for the good Of both races
for peace between them and the com
mercial, industrial and agricultural
prosperity Of this section.
At no time were the relations be-
tween tae two races better and they
win continue to grow better, with the
negro eaining il prosperity and con-
tentment as long as these conditions
exist. they viii grow bad again, and
to the disadvantage Of the negro
whenever aiseord is injected into
these relations BY melting the negro !
10 demand complete political equality |
with everything that goes with it.

ALCOHOL MEN ASK
.PALMERF0RR RULING
Want Him to Review His Opinion
Restricting Sales to the.
Drug Trade.

Attorney General Palmer will be
asked to review his opinion in regard
to the sale of liquor. restricting the
trade to druggists by representatives
of the alcohol interests affected by
the opinion.
A conference was held last week be-
tween Commissioner of Internal Rev.
enue Williams and representatives Of
the alcohol interests. who asked that
the whole matter be held up and not
made effective until II is definitely set
tied whether or not Mr.. Palmer will
review his decision.
As a result of the conference the
commissioner appointed a committee
OF five to draft new regulations in ac-
cordance with the opinion from
Palmer. This committee includes
Messrs. Gates, Weissbach, Van Voor-
heis, Vize and Dorm. all of the Bureau
of Internal Revenue.
This committee will confer with a
subcommittee of the alcohol interests
in New York city on February II,
when the new regulations will be dis
cussed.
It is understood that there is some
fear that the new regulations to be
drawn up may do away with the
floating" permit which goes into ef-
feet on March l.
