We've often noticed that the New
iberia man who bowls about every
thing is usually treated like dog,
The quickest way to find baby's
toy Is turn out the light and hunt
for it with your bare feet.
Conan Doyle says there isn't any
hell. Then where do our enemies go
Some New Iberia men curse the
weather as if they expected winter
during the summer.
A bachelor is man who never
owned an automobile when he was
young.
To most of us the only thing fun
nier than a man who can't spit is a
woman who can.
Many n New Iberia man who says
he wishes he had more time" is IN
reality only hunting an excuse to
dodge some job.
The old world is getting better.
We read recently where they have
made moving picture that doesn't
end with kissing affair.
The announcement that this coun-
try is going to put heavy duty on
soap will be good news to American
boys.
The New Iberia woman who is
wise lets her husband make her do
what she wants to do.
A chronic crouch never goes where
he is told to go until he dies.
1t looks as though the girls don't
want all they can get for their mon
ey when they are buying clothes.
Another way New Iberia parents
can keep their daughters at home is
to feed them on onions.

New Iberia still has few men

WHAT CAUSES GAS ON THE
STOMACH?

II is caused by fermenting, sour
waste matter in the intestines. This
old, foul matter should be thoroughly
cleaned out with simple buckthorn
bark, glycerine, ETC., as mixed in
Adler-i-ka. This acts on BOTH up

accumulated matter you never
thought was in your system. Adler
i-ka relieves ANY CASE gas on the

Colonel Wright of Powell lived up
to his reputation as almost as lively
an a~uctioneer as our esteemed friend
Major Hopes, and kept a crowd of
about an hundred and fifty which had
turned out for the affair, in almost
continuous laughter.
At one time he had difficulty dispos.
ing of an old shot gun which by its
appearance must surely have been
carried on the hip of Daniel Boone.
but upon throwing a ram-rod in with
it and explaining earnestly to some
Powell father how thoroughly neces-
sary a ram-rod is in bringing up a
family, the old musket was grabbed
away in an instant.
Bill Hogg was there from Cody and
by the way in which he inspected an
old buggy it would not surprise any
one at all if we shall see MI. Hogg,
with the help of his row-boat motor
mounted on the stern, dashing up the
street in a bug as fast as the best
fiivvers.
Col. Wright had an easy time sell

he offered an old saw with it. 1t
seems that there was one man in the
throng who had always wanted a short
handled shovel to carry in his Ford
and thus scare off the snow drifts

this age without dismay and fear.
1t requires courage for citizens te
come out In the open and denounce
the destruction of American liberty
They r. greeted with the cry Of
rum hounds" and pictured as de
bauched and degraded persons. The
danger got such Roadway because IN
its earlier stages a reputable man OIL
woman found that championship Of
free principles meant exposure to as
ests. There also was the corruption
of American political life by the liz
uor interests and an abomination Of
denominations which prompted the
people to sweep the trafficers out Of
the country.
Now we find that we have establish
en- another system repugnant to free
dom and it maintains its dangerous
power because it appeals to the hu
name and moral instincts of the PEG
pie and has deadened their instinct
for freedom int liberty.
In the war 1t was necessity to make
surrenders of individual rights to the
government. The American people
accepted a military dictatorship which
was the wonder of the British, who
could not establish it, although theiI
peril was greater. We knew there
was danger in this, but thought that
there would be a recovery of rights
when the intensified national effort
was over. There has been no re
covery. When government, obtains
a hold upon citizens it does not LET
go. 1t does not give up power. the
pressure to take more is constantly
applied by highly organized groups
which see the day at hand when die
tates can be multiplied and oppres
sion can be frightened.

VIGOROUS MOVEMENT STARTED
FOR LIGHT wine and BEER
Supporters Opposed to Saloon---Say Americans
Now have Less Freedom than Any White Race

The citizens who are organizing the
Association Opposed to Prohibition
are not vets. In the sense that word
has been used. They are for the
permitted use Of wine and beer, but
are opposed to the saloon and that
extreme traffic in liquor. They are
not distillers or brewers and their eff.
fort is to keep the association clear
of such influences.
They are liberals and they recog-
nize. what a majority OF American CT
tizens do not recognize that a serious
change is being made in American
principles. and that 1t affects the
freedom and intelligence OF the peo-
pie.
1t requires some courage for re-
putable men and women to set them
selves against these tendencies. It
is a serious fault of the American peo-
pie not to care by what means they
reach an end which they consider
good They are grossly inconsistent
in that they make more laws and pay
less attention TO them than any other
people in the world. They are glut-
tons for legislation. They try to cor
rect laws of nature and laws OF hui
man nature by statute.
Statutes create officials. Bureaus
and bureaucrats multiply and extend
their power. Inspection, regulation,
restraint and prohibition weigh down
the individual and collective activities
of American citizens and now with the

any other white people of the world.
with the possible exception of the Rus
SLAMS. and they are the most lawless.
In this spreading scheme of oppres-
sion, the prohibition of intoxicating
liquors is the one outstanding phase
which everybody see Is. But It is only
a part of the autocracy which is de-
nying the principles Of liberty to
American life.
We believe that great as the curse
of liquor may be and terrible as it is
to have a sodden people, 1t is not
less terrible to put a free people un-
der the dominion of bureaucracy.
This republic rests upon the decis-
ions OF its people and the new tyran-
ny rests pom a denial of intelligence,
OF decision, of choice.
The extremes to which dictation is
eager to proceed are revealed in the
state OF mionis. where 1t is proposed,

Chicago be restricted to the point of
Acknowledgement because of the hab-
