ton will show will be purely a part of
a natural levcling-up process"
Time alone will be able to decide
that matter. Meanwhile labor is lay
ing its plans along the lines indicated
above
If Lloyd George should dissolve
Parliament and call an election to-
morrow, the Labor party would have
some 400 candidates ready to appeal to
the constituencies. The longer the
election is deferred the greater will
be the number OF Labor contestants:
but in any case it will scarcely exceed
$50. That means that there are from
g. to 100 seats that Labor will not
even fight.
The methods by which the Labor
candidates are chosen are, broadly
speaking, two. The first is that the
local organizations in separate con-
stituences pick the man whom they
wish to represent them, and send his
name up to national headquarters for
approval. The second method COM
prises the choice, by trade unions, or
by the Labor party organization, or
the Fabian Society, or similar bodies,
Of men whom they would like to see in
Parliament. They then look about for
possible constituencies for these men
Cor women, since at least six women
will stand on the Labor ticket at the
next electon).
Political Funds of
Labor Kept Intact
Much has been written about the
dlminution of labor funds acting as n
deterrent to success in the event of an
election. The fact is that the polti-
cal and industrial funds of the trade
unions are kept entirely separate. Thus,
while the industria funds of many
trade unions are heavily depleted,
owing to strikes ana widespread uncm-
ployment, the political funds have been
untouched since 1918 and are, therefore
in good condition. Every member Of
trade union in England pays contri-
buttons into the industrial funds as a
matter Of course. The political con-
tributions are voluntary in this sense
that they are not assessed if the trade
unionist definitely records his objec-
ton to contributing for political pur-
poses, but are otherwise automatically
levied.
There is no definite platform which
Labor as a party has to offer, so that
it is very difficult to speculate as to
what would happen should it become
the duty of the King to ask the leader
of the Parliamentary Labor party to
form a government. One cannot even
forecast with any degree Of certainty
who that man would be, because a new
chairman Of the Parliamentary Labor
party is chosen each year.

EXPRESSION OF APPRE-
CATION.

The officers and members of Mo
hawk Tribe No. 33, Improved Order
of Red Men, wish to publicly ex
press their great pleasure at the sue
cess that has attended the recent eff
forts made to raise money for the
purpose of creating a building fund
This success was made possible
not only by the untiring efforts OF
the members of the order, but also
by the generous assistance given by
many palefaces, first at the minstrel
show, and more recently at the dane
ing pavilion at the South Louisiana
fair.
The public at large, who by their
attendance and enthusiasm, placed
the crowning seal of success on these
two occasions, are also entitled to
our sincere thanks.
It is felt that the objects that this
order have in view, namely the build
ing of home, the construction of
a swimming pool, and the starting
Of branch of the Junior Guards,
meets with the appreciation of the
community. The members of the
tribe therefore feel much encouraged
and are determined to put forth even
greater efforts to attain their goal,
Once more we wish to thank those
who so kindly helped us, and trust
that they will again aid us in future
undertakings.

Anti-Drys Organizing.

Advices from Washington indicate
that plans are well under way for
an organized campaign by the AS
sociation Opposed to Prohibition to
increase the ranks of beer and wine
advocates in Congress. Declaring a
fighting machine already has been
put into operation in every state,
the announcement presented pre-
Iiminary list of 212 candidates for
the Senate, and House who are to
receive the support of the organiza-
tion in the fall elections. "Defnite
plans to secure the election of these
candidates have been completed" the
statement says, "and the campaign al
ready begun in the several states. In
general, the association has stolen
a leaf from the Anti-Saloon League
in it's campaign plans.' Members of
both the Republican and Democratic
parties appear ON the lists Of ac-
ceptables and in some cases the names
of two opposing candidates are given.
In such instances the announcement
said, the tendency will be to favor
the incumbent.s

INCOME TAX LAW EVADED.
Lawmaker Says Standard Oil Stock

Treasury Mellon, calling his atten

Oil Company has declared a 100 per

Frear, sought to reach tax-free Sc

Frear declared, "then the law should

Many Women Without Country,

1t is reported from London tha.
women without country are becom-
ing numerous in England as a result
of the new American law allowing
American women who marry foreign
ers to retain their own nationality
and providing that foreigners who, be-
come the wives of Americans keep
their native identity. Dozens Of di-
vorced women have been applying
daily at the American consulate fol
passports vises only to learn that they
have lost their native nationality and
have nothing to replace it. Under
the British law woman who marries
foreigner automatically loses her
British citizenship and therefore can
not obtain a~British passport. If hay
ing married an American, she tries to
obtain a United States passport she
is confronted with the fact that she
IS not an American at all, because I'm.
der the new law, she retains her own
nationality. Nor can the American
wife of a Britisher obtain q. British

cause under the British law, she is :.

TO AMEND DRY LAW,
Congress VIII Be Forced to Modify
Prohibition Measure,

The belief is growing in Washing
ton that Congress at its next session
| will be forced to amend the prohibi
ton law in relation to the shipping
bill or IN some other way.
| The seeming impossibility of har
monlzlng the Daugherty opinion with
the best interests of the island pos
sessions of the United States and the
probable conflict Of the opinion with
the friendly international relation.
of the government make it appear
that the administration will have nc
recourse other than to ask modifca
tion of the Volstead law.
| While neither the president nor
any one else in authority has said
that modification of law will be sought
it is the confident belief here that
nothing else can be done, despite a
certainty that the Anti-Saloon League
and allied prohibition organiza-
tions will fight strongly against a
| change.
Even though they might think such
modification in itself is advisable, the
idea of the dry organization is that
once the law is opened to modfica-
tions the way will be paved for null
lifylng amendments. The situation
clearly is Indicative of the haste with
which the Volstead law was written.
In its decision of May 16 on the
transshipment Of intoxicating bever-
ages across the territory of the United
States, the supreme court made it
clear that the Volstead law prevented
the sale and transportation of liquor
in any territory of the United States
except in case of specific exceptions
noted in the law itself.
The right Of foreign ships to carry
liquor through Territory of the United
States was not excepted specifically
from the operation of the law the
court ruled, treaties to the contrary
notwithstanding and therefor Attor-
ney General Daugherty, whose duty
it is to give his opinion on what the
law means. and not what the law
ought to mean, had no recourse ex-
cept to rule as he did.
Since the ruling has been made
even the most fanatic of the prohibi- |
tionists realize the injustice and in
equities of the law as applied to in
ternational commerce. But when |
it becomes a question of raising law
which they. already have and for |
which they have been fighting for
years their attitude is entirely diff
ferent.
Defeat is believed imminent for1
the prohibitionists, however, if the
president decides to ask for modifi-
cations. Mr.. Harding always has
been dry and his administration,
despite the ast. tendencies of at least !;
three prqng.sss members Of his cabi-
net, is aa1mmilS Sminia ..ttinn..
- cgsrrefo forsa dry administration
shoula r.sk revision of a law which
it is pledged to uphold in it's es-
sential parts, the opinion here lis
that even the dry members of Con-
yress, which are largely in the ma
iority, would see the justice of the
request and would do as the presi-
lent asked them.

SUGAR PRODUCTION,
Total for United States, ss2, ,293
Tons; Louisiana, 233,333.

| Louisiana will produce 26.45- pei
cent OF the total sugar output of con
tinental United States, according tt
estimates based on the October l, cor
dition of sugar cane and sugar beets
The total production is expected tc
be 822,293 tons, of which Louisiana
will produce 233,333 tons. Sugar
beet states will produce 648,96S tons,
1856 per cent of the total.
The estimates were released re-
Gently by Lionel L. James, agricultu-
raj statistician for Louisiana. The
condition Of cane in the Louisiana
| belt is given II per cent of normal.
compared with 81 per cent August /
and 79 per cent September l. The
condition year ago was 81 per cent
ana the ten-year average is 77.2 per
cent.
A condition of IT per cent fore
casts a probable production of an
proximately 3,333,330 short tons of
sugar cane and approximately a233,-
333 short tons of sugar. In 1921
theproduetion was 324,431 short
tons and the average for eight wears
has been 232,867.
Deterioration since the last month";
ly report is due to various causes.
Earlier in the season there was too
much rain, which interferred with
proper cultivation. Grass developed
IN many fields to such an extent as
to delay the growth of cane. The
season has been unfavorable from
the standpoint of cultivation, but
some planters fought grass to a fin
lsh, cultivating as many times as
possible with implements and sub
sequently utilizing hand labor. Cool
nights and dry weather have checked
the growth and there have been GEN
eral complaints that the cane borer
is worse than in recent years.
A new feature of the report is
the inclusion of sugar beet reports.
The crop as whole in the United
States was 85.1 per cent of nor
NAL on October l, compared with
8o.6 per cent on September l and
with s8.7 per cent, the ten-year aver
age of October l condition.
The condition forecasts a produc-
ton of approximately 100000 tons
OF sugar beets. The production last
year was 8,782,000 tons and the five
year average is 6,62O,OOO tons. The
1922 acreage is placed at 100000.
compared with 882 400 in 1921 and
978,500 in 1920.
The forecast is 648,96O short tons
OF beet sugar, compared with L.
