Too Much for Dogs.

The police department of the
city of Clintonville, says the Sha-
wano Journal, is contemplating
the purchase of a blood hound for
the use of the chief of police in
running down criminals. Their
decision is based on the fact that
the owners of blood hounds at
Waupaca charge an excessive price
for their use, as well as the fact
that they cannot always be pro
cured when wanted.

minds for ages LaFollette can set
tie offhand. OF course, he hasn't
had much luck reducing taxes in
Wisconsin, but that isn't talked
about.
Gov Blaine fits right into the
picture. He's martyr, too. Look
what they're saying about him be-
cause his big kind heart made him
pardon bootleggers? It's just a
conspiracy, that's what it is, and
nobody is supposed to ask what IN
time suffering wives and child
rem have TO do with voting for
Blaine for governor. Gov. Blaine
works the martyr racket rather
harder than LaFollette. His lat
est IS that big business Is cruelty
ing him because the legislature APP
propriated money for the new
Wisconsin hospital.
Has One Lone Issue
Gov. Blaine's one definite issue
is the secrecy clause in the in
come tax law. Just see how the
corporations in this conspiracy
against him are defrauding the
state, all because of the secrecy
clause! And then Blaine goes on
to tell right IN the same speech
how the tax commission, not the
governor, is recovering millions,
though the secrecy clause is in
the law, and the federal authori-
ties are recovering for mistakes
in federal returns with a secrecy
clause in that law. And as for
fraud, well, maybe it's just mis-
takes, and anyhow it's the tax
commissions business to prosecute
for frauds. Nevertheless, this is
why you should vote for Blaine.
There's an uncanny ingenuity in
the LaFollette campaign. The
common people is its keynote. It's
all fitted together TO make the
people believe that somehow the
election of LaFollette is going to
remedy everything. But not on a
single subject does Senator LaFol-
cite offer a definite policy of a
program. There is not a promise
that he could be held TO. On the
one issue which he can't talk
about in meaningless generalities,
he says not a word. Is he wet or
is he dry? Ask him and you won't
find out.
There is just one word to des-
cribe the LaFollette campaign as
ne is making it-bunk. Can he
get away With it? He can, if the
voters of Wisconsin arc as simple
minded as he seems to think they
are. But if they do any thinking
after hearing LaFollette speak,
they will be hard put to it to find
in his speeches any reason why
they should vote for him. Shout
ing Liar, Liar" is not a convinc-
ing argument.-Mi Milwaukee Jour-
nal.

OUTWITTING A BOOZE FIGHT

Homer, La, was the scene of as un-
usual occurrence as ever happened at
any place in the world. 1t happened
thusIy: There was a lot of material for
the manufacture of booze found at a
certain place; and what to do with it
puzzled Sheriff Coleman. He. finally
decided to spread it on the lawn of the
court house to assist the grass to grow,
and large crowd came to see the
thing done.
While it was going on there were
loud means from the throng of lockers
on. Small quantities of the liquor gath
cred in small pools here and there, and
the sight brought grief too deep for
tears, but the odorI All, that brought
condition resembling franticI And it
is stated that some of them rushed to
the pools and swabbed them up in a
jiffy, and waddled away satisfied that
they had outwitted the Sheriff.

ANTI-LYNCHING BILL
WILL PENALIZE OFFENDERS

The Dyer anti-lynching bill won in
the House at Washington by a vote of
230 for to ll9 against.
This bill, with its desire to curb
lynching in all States of the Union is
worthy of notice by every intelligent
person. 1t provides life imprisonment
or lesser penalties for all persons who
participate in lynchings, and for State
county, and municipal officials who fail
through negligence to prevent them,
this measure also stipulates that the
county in which mobs form and kill
outside of the law, shall pay to the fam
lily of the victim not less than $4,000,
an amendment to the bill has been ac-
cepted which defines a mob as three
or more persons.
The bill has yet to go before the
Senate, and perhaps there will be some
a1dendment added that will modify the
bill to some extent, but so far is has
passed the house as it is.
The Democrat has never been IN
sympathy with lynching or mob vio-
lence in any form, and we shall decry
it as long as we have drop of ink left.
American as law-abiding nation has
installed courts where justice should be
dealt out to all without fear or favor,
and if the courts fail in the purpose for
which they were formed, then the peo-
pie take matters into their own hands,
and lynching is the reasuIt. The bill
now to go before the Senate seeks a
remedy; but we don't think they have
found it. The remedy, to our way of
thinking, is to remove politics from the
judicial bench, and this can be done
only by electing our judges to life
term of office, removable only for a
proven case of malfeasance; then and
not until then will the restraining hand
of the law be felt, to prevent not only
lynching but all other forms of crime.
The penalty Of $4,000 as imposed
by this bill will have small effect upon
mob gathered for the purpose Of
lynching or any other unlawful end,
from the fact that mobs are totally un-
mindful of the burden such a sum
would be to a county, being in large
degree non-tax-payers. Economy in
county affairs has little or no place in
their mental calibre. They are in search
of excitement and revenge; reason and
judgment are set aside 70 the nonce; ;
the will of the'mob is the law, and woe
to them who would attempt to stem til.
tide Of anger.

LOUTRELL VISITS LEESVILLE
LAST VISIT WAS 1904

Mr.. E. H. LoutrelI is here with his
wife and son Homer, from California,
to visit friends.
Mr.. LoutrelI was here as the repre-
sentative Of the Kansas City Star way
back in 1904. and he distinctly remem-
bers just what Leesville looked like in
those days. and was much struck by
the great improvement in the town.
The things that attracted Mr.. LoutreIl's
notice was the fine buildings that are
to be found on Bird Street; why" he
said, when was here back in '04.
there was nothing but shacks on this
street, and as for mudI Well. if /
were to tell you that have seen them
pull the mules out Of the holes right
here between the two banks Yes. sir,
you may think that you have mud here
now. but you folks don't know what
real mud is
This isn't the only thing: | remem-
Der when they had the road running
way over on the other side Of the track,
and it was the only road around these
parts. If you wanted to go anywhere,
you had to go that way, mud or not.
But the thing that interested nae at
that time was the brand Of liquor that
! they doled out here. To be sure, one
could then get drink almost anywhere
around town, and It didn't cost a
months wages to get it either. But
the brand-ah, yes. that's the word
brand; because it didn't have any.
The man that made it was SO ashamed
lof it that he never allowed his name
to go on the label. No, come to think
of it, there was no label, either. But
it sure would make your hair stand
fright up and fight all the other hairs
that you had in your head; and if you
didn't have any hairs on your head, it
would make you all the more fighting
mad, to do something desperate. In
those times, mister man, there were
all kinds Of liquor houses and pool
halls in and around this burg, and It
was some lively town; but / don't like
it just as lively as it was way back
there-No, sir, give me Leesville as she
is now, where a man doesn't have to 60

FARMERS in CONFERENCE
MAKE STRONG DEMANDS
Conference Demands All PrOfiteerinl
Halt, and Plans for Campaign

Demand for an immediate federal
loan of $lO0,0O0,O00 to tide impov-
erished farmers over the present emer-
gency was made on Congress this week
by the ''rump conference" Of President
Harding's agricultural conference at
Washington.
1t is hoped to secure this sum by
means Of an amendment to Senator
McCumber's bill providing for S. ,000,-
600 for the purchase of seed for farm
ers unable to purchase their require
ments for this years crop.
The "rump conference, composed
of those dissatisfied with the main con-
ference, centered its attention largely
on program for immediate relief.
This program, aside from the loan,
calls for establishment of prices on
wheat, corn, cotton, and wool and de-
mands:
Creation Of federal agency to linn
it profits on four staples by millers, ele-
vators and bakers.
Agencies to finance the marketing
of all surplus food products abroad
Restoration of the excess profits and
inheritance tax to remove the burden
lef taxation from farmers and all other
producers of wealth.
Immediate enactment of the Capper-
IVolstead cooperative marketing bill.
Unified government operation of the
railroads with an immediate reduction
of approximately 33 per cent in freight
rates.
Eventual government ownership of
railroads.
Acceptance of Henry Ford's Muscle
Shoals offer.
The rump conference" was called
by Benjamin c. March of the farmers
national conference and was attended
by approximately 40 of the delegates
who were part of the first conference.
First of all. we must rehabilitate
the farmer; and to stave off more shf-
fering the government should make
$l0O,000.000 in.loans." March said.
with thousands of farmers impover-
ished these loans should be made on
personal security"
March said that approximately 600,-
600 farmers were represented at the
second conference. A campaign to
force congressional action on this pro-
gram will be started in the middle Of
the West within ten days, March said
Hearings also will be continued be-
fore the Senate committee on agricul-
ture and forestry.

STARTING EARLY PLANTS
FOR THE SPRING GARDEN

Peppers, eggplant, and tomatoes

Louisiana State University Extension
Division. This i. essential if the crops
are to mature before extreme hot wea-
ther. Growing ideal young plants in
a hotbed or coldframe requires con-
slant attention. he says.
In central and South Louisiana the
weather is sufficiently mild to dispense
with the use Of hot beds" says Mr..
Smith. The use Of cold frames is
the general practice. In either case
the frame should be placed in we'll
