The Governor Had
Better Stayed At
Home

Strange isn't it that the name of our
governor who is supposed to uphold
and protect the fair name of our state,
should be connected with the most un-
called for misrepresentation of facts
that has ever bcsmirchcd the name of
Louisiana.
Governor Parker now denounces the
statements contained in the Washing
ton Post article, purporting to give the
ku klux Khan situation in Louisiana,
as SANDER upon Louisiana.
The article was a SANDER, it is quite
true, and it is also quite true that if
Governor Parker had let we'll enough
alone, the article referred to would
not have been written. The idea has
been conveyed throughout the entire
nation that Louisiana is in the grip
of terrorism, that law and order is a
thing OF the past and that the courts
have ceased to function, and that
Louisiana's governor has had to ap-
peal to the federal authorities for aid
to restore order.
The article in the Washington Post,
every word relative to conditions in
Louisiana, was absolutely false, and
loyal citizens throughout the state are
voicing protest, denomcing the arti-
Gle in no uncertain terms.
We believe it is the opinion OF the
majority of our citizenship, that there
was no more real need for Governor
Parkers trip to Washington than there
was cause for the article in the WASH
lngton newsparc. Conditions in|
Louisiana were NEVER more peace
iul, and never has there been a time
when the sentiment was more unani-
nous ior law enforcement throughout
the entire state.
If the governor had wanted to do his
state a real kindness, it seems that
he would have accomplished quite a
deal more by staying at home
