REPUBLICANS TO REoRGANIzE.
Party in Southern States to Be Placed
Under Control of White Men,

movement is on foot to reorgan-
lze the Republican party in Louisi-
ana. Circular letters are being sent
broadcast through the state inviting
citizens who are in sympathy with the
movement to join the new organiza
ton. The party, it is understood, will
be reorganized along lines recently
laid down by the National Republican
committee which President Harding
supports. The plan provides for re-
organization in all southern states.
All citizens who can qualify as voters
under the election laws are to be in
vlted into the party. The effect of
this will be to place white men in
control of the party in the south.
Emile Kuntz, recently appointed
collector of the port at New Orleans
to succeed the late Murphy J. Foster,
will become identified with the club.
He will resign his post as naionall
committeeman from Louisiana on ac-
count of the federal regulations pro-
hibiting government officers from
holding political positions of that kind.

A TWICE-TOLD TALE.
One of Interest to Our Readers,

Good news bears repeating and
when it is confirmed after a lonk
lapse of time, even if we hestitated
to believe it at first hearing, we feel
secure in accepting it's truth now.
The following experience of Belle
Rose man is confirmed after six wears.
+ D. S. Leblanc, justice of peace,
Belle Rose, La, says: ''My kidneys
were irregular in action and some
times the kidney secretions would be
profuse in passage and then again
scanty. Ny back was SO stiff and pain
ful | couldn't get up or down. | had
dizzy spells and dared not walk for
fear of falling. became stiff and was
hardly able to move about. Hearing
about Doan's Kidney Pills | started
using them. In a short time I felt
better; my kidneys acted normally
and the pain in my back left"
SIX YEARS LATER Mr.. Leblanc
said: my faith in Doan's Kidney
Fills Is as strong today as it was
when | recommended them some
years ago"

HANDING OUT HANDIcAPs.

The deplorable railroad situation is the direct re-
suit Of h~andieaps established during government op-
Grafton, If the roads had been returned to the own
ers in fact, free from the agreements and regulations
imposed under government control there might be a
different story today.
For many years the government has exercised the
right to limit freight and passenger charges thus lin
iting the revenue the railroads can receive. During
the war and the continuance of government control
after the war the government also exercised the right
to determine to a large extent the expenditures the
roads should make. Having control of both income
and outgo the government determined the net in
come, ard it was under this sort of regulations that
net income dwindled to the vanishing point In fact
Il one recognizes the right of an investor to receive
a reasonable return, the net income has been a net
deficit.
In order that the situation of the railroads may be
better understood by the average citizen let US sup
pose the government had done to the farmers what
it did TO the roads. The government did treat the
farmers in somewhat the same way il treated the rail
roads but not to the same extent. The price the
grain farmers might receive was limited. and, indi-
rectly, by boosting the wages of city workers, the
government boosted the wage the farmer must pay
his help. But farmers in general were not brought
under strict control Of the government as the rail
roads were. II the government had taken over the
farms Of the country, limited the prices they might
receive for each bushel or pound of commodities they
raised and had then made agreements with farm Ia
borers as to wages, hours of labor and working con-
ditions, putting the income SO low and the wage
charges so high that n net profit would not be pos
sible, and had then returned the farms to their own
es with the stipulation that these government regu-
%lations must be continued. that would be for the
farmers exactly what the government did for the rail-
roads.
No farmer in the United States would agree that
such an injury to his business would be fair. Neither
is there q business man in ths United States who viii
assert that similar treatment imposed upon the rail
roads was either just to the railroad owners or fol
the best intere ss Of the country in general. In time.
gone by the people have ha- grievances against rail
road managers. Nest Of those grievances were re
moved by regulatory legislation. The peorle Cow have
2 grievance not against the railroad owners but against
those governmental managers who took the railroad.
over when they had money in their treasures, anc
turned them back practically broke and loaded down
with burdens and limitations which make it practical
ly impossible for the roads as a whole to earn any
where near a reasonable profit on the investment
The wrecking Of the railroad system has been an in
jury and not a blessing to the people whether they
are owners Of railroad stocks or clippers Of goods.

engaged in propaganda along similar lnes- The bu-
reau Of information was given into the control Of a
Socialist and President Wilson undertook TO conduct
negotiations with the Bolshevik regime in Russia
through the mediation Of men who were in sympathy
with the Bolshevik ideas 1t is not at all surprising,
therefore, that the charge should be made that the
radical propaganda can he traced to the very heart
of the Federal government
Socialists have always commended for the right Of
free speech in the class rooms Of our colleges and uni
versities- They have demanded this right for the
proponents of their particular economic ideas, not
withstznding the universities and colleges are chief
ly supported by the people of different principles.
They have claimed the right to teach socialism through
the use Of funds contributed chiefly by non-Social-
lists, although they would not, if conditions were re-
versed, permit the teaching of individuaiism in
schools chiefly maintained by the funds Of Social
lists
Nowhere in Bolsheyik Russia today can any man
with safety to his person or property attempt to teach
the principles Of American representative govern
ment- Nevertheless, almost anywhere in the United
States men are able to teach the doctrines ~espoused
by the Bolshevik regime in Russia not only with per-
sonal safety but with the aid and encouragement of
men holding positions under the government
The situation is an amazing and deplorable one 1t
is hoped that some effective measures for the recti-
fication of conditions may result from the widespread
attention that has been aroused by the resignation of
this college president at Valparaiso, Indiana

PASS THE ANTI.srRIKE BILL.

The merchant marine strike should be sufficient
notice Of the vital Importance of legislation to pre-
vent interference with interstate traffic. There is
pending in the congress q measure for this identical
purpose. 1t has been allowed to slumber, however,
upon the erroneous theory that no crisis exists de-
handing its enactment. In order to be useful such
a measure must be on the statute books when the
crisis arrives. For when the crucial situation is pre-
sented it is too late to secure protection for the pub
lie through legislation, Just as it was in the outlaw
railroad strike.
There can be no controversy over the right of an
enploye OF the merchant marine to quit his employ
ment at the termination Of his contract. Neither is
there any question as to the similar right OF an en-
ploye Of an interstate railroad to quit his employ
ment whenever he has fulfilled his agreement with
his employer. The question of the individual right
to quit is not involved in anyway in the pending anti
strike legislation.
The anti-strike or Poindexter bill makes it unlaw-
full for any person, with intent to obstruct the move
ment OF commodities in commerce with foreign ma
lions or among the several states, to solicit, advise,
induce or persuade or attempt to persuade any per-
son employed by any carrier subject to the act to
regulate commerce, to quit such employment. The
bill declares it to be unlawful. with intent to obstruct
interstate commerce, to use violence or threats to
prevent or seek to prevent any person from engaging
In employment or continuing in employment in inter
state commerce. 1t further makes it unlawful for
any person with similar purpose to destroy any car.
bridge, track, ship, or other agency of interstate COM
merce. And, finally, by a new section in the bill it is
made unlawful for two or more persons being Off
GERS, attorneys, employees, ETC., of any carrier subject
to the act to regulate commerce., for the purpose of
maintaining, adjusting, or settling any d;spute which
can be submitted for a decision to the committee of
ways and working conditions or to a regional board
OF adjustment, to enter.into any combination with the
intent substantially 20 hinder the operation of trains
or other facilities of transportation in interstate com.
merce. The bill closes with the express provision that,
Nothing in this act shall be taken to deny any in
dividual the right to quit his employment for anv
reason"
Inc sole and exclusive purpose of the a~nti-strike
Dill is to prevent conspiracies for the injury of the
public through interruption of the TRANSPORTATION ~
goods necessary for the preservation of the publ.
peace, health and safety.
II the employees of merchant ships and employees of
to continue in employment at wages offered that is
tneir privilege. 1t is equally the right of any other in
eIviduai to accept employment with protection from
~ployment themselves. The protection of the individual,
