American Trade
Depends on Its
- Merchant Fleet
Can't Expect Aid Of Rivals,
Lssker Says; United
80 States ~ Creditor
Nation.
By A: 3: IL:AsKER.

Modern civilization Is an economic
one. The basis OF all economic ciyi.
lixa,ion is transportation. Coal and
oil may be only momentary basic
fuels; II is possible some other fuel
may be discovered. Fuel in one form
or another will always be basic to
transportation. and transportation IN
one form or another is basic to ex.
change OF goods.
In my second article | undef,ool;
10 demonstrate how. up 20 the .'me
OF the civil war. America had develop.
ed a strong merchant marine. and IL
sketch the conditions surrounding
our practical disappearance from the
sea between the time OF the civil war
and the world war.
Railroads Brought Wealth.
During this latter period we we're
developing a great wealth ives. OF
tie Allcghenies. One OF :he chief
contributions TO that development
was the upbuilding OF our vast rail-
road system. largely subsidized
through grants OF land, federal, state
and local. We were in that period
a self-sufficient and self-containcd
.sstion. having need OF world trade
only in small measure for the dis.
position OF our surpluses and to pay
with them the moneys borrowed for
our development. Our creditors
were largely the leading maritime ma
tions Of the world and they sent their
ships to receive the goods in pay
ment Of what we owed them.
In the last decades, though, Amer.
lea has changed from q self-contain-
ed and self-sufficient nation (the type
Of nation that can largely do without
merchant marine) to one that now
must look across the waters for many
Of its needs.
How Nation Changed.
And so, in the cycle of events, our
very self-sufficiency from within gave
rise to luxuries which finally became
necessities, until we perforce changed
from nation almost entirely an ex-
porter OF raw material to one. in very
great measure. an importer of raw
material.
We must obtain manganese for our
steel mills from Russia and South
America; our automobile tire indus
try must obtain crude rubber from
Brasil and Africa; our tinplate manu-
facturers must import their tin from
the Malay straits and Bolivia; our
silk factories must get their raw
product from China and Japan; our
manufacturers of twines, canvas, lin
rs and laees must get their fax
IN Russia and Belgium.
We must also import large quanti-
of cocoanut oil and other vege-
lie oils from the Dutch East Indies
from Pacific isles; coffee from
fyil, tea from China, India. Japan;
{oa from Venezuela; sugar from
sba; rice from the far east; spices
.bm the East indies; platinum from
Colombia; vanadium from Peru, and
asphalt from Vepezuela.
Must Be Sure.
If we are to keep our industries
going, we must make sure of a
steady flow Of these materials which
we need and must insure prompt and
continuous delivery of manufactured
wares and raw materials which we
wish to give in exchange for that
which we buy. If we have to rely
on the ships Of other nations who are
our competitors for the trade Of the
newer countries, it is as if depart
ment store relied on one of its COM
petitors for its deliveries.

Business Women VIII
Collect Subscriptions

The Bogalusa Business and Profess
siOnal Women's Club will begin the
collection of subscriptions to The En-
terprise this week and, incidentally,
they expect to added a few hundred
new subscribers to the list. They
conducted a similar campaign last
year and the results were so satisfac-
tory that they decided TO call off all
benefits for the year and to confine
their money-raising efforts to the
one plan.
The Enterprise alloys the ladies
33 Is per cent on all collections, but
no subscriber will be permitted to
pay for more than five years. More
than a thousand subscribers to The
Enterprise are now delinquent, and
if all pay the Business Women's Club,
they will have sufficient funds to
carry out their plans for the year.
They have just completed furnishing
a clubhouse, sent a number of dele
gates to the state convention, and
this week they have a representative
at the national meeting.
If your subscription TO The Enter
prise is due, pay it to one of the
members of the club. If you do not
know one, you may phone Mrs. z. J.
Lee and she viii have a representa-
tive call at your home or places of
business. The club members will APP
preciate your kindness, as also will
The ENTERPRISE.

Judge Brunot To Open His Campaign
For Supreme Court Bench in BogaIqsa

and training which no other district
judge in the state has had.
Judge Brunot's record on law en-
foreement is especially admirable.
The law and order forces in his dis
trict have found in him an earnest,
consistent champion. Bootlegging
and kindred crimes have been stern
~ suppressed and the laws relating
thereto rigidly enforced by him.
Nevertheless, when the occasion war
rants it, he has shown that he knows
how to temper justice with mercy.
Judge Brunot was born in 1861
end received his education at Pass
Christian College, Cooper Institute
and the Louisiana State University.
He gradUSted in law at the Louisiana
University, now Tulane, in 1892. As
already stated, he has actived served
as district judge for more than TWEEN
ty+five years.
Both mentally and physically he is
one Of the most vigorous men, He is
exceptionally well read and is a pro-
found student of the law. This,
coupled with his unquestioned per-
sonal integrity and exalted sense of
duty and in view of his unique ex-
perience of quarter of century on
the district bench, renders him pc
culiarly fitted for the position of Su-
preme Court judge.
Judge Brunot will reach Bogalusa
night or Friday morning
and hold a meeting in the City Hall
Friday night, July IA, at p. m. The
public is invited to attend. The Judge
is a very pleasing gentleman and an
hour or so of entertainment will be
enjoyed. The ladies should not for
get that they should attend these
meetings. 1t is hoped that a large
crowd will be present.
The Judge will go from here to
FranklintoTQ on Saturday the 18th,
where he will hold a meeting in the
Courthouse at O'Clock.

BOGALUSANS SEE
TWO KILLEDIN RACE

Bogalusa citizens who went to
Covington Sunday for the automo-
bile races report that Fernandez Gle
menti, aged 81, driving National
Twelve, and Henry Baker, aged 20,
a mechanic, were killed just a short
time before the races were to start.
Clement and Baker were making
a qualifying heat and after making
a circle of the track, which was of
soft dirt, they drove towards the
judges stand at a rate of about As
miles an hour. Clement raised one
hand as a signal to the judge and
the car somersaulted. When specta-
tors rushed from the grandstand they
found Clement dead and Baker I'M
conscious, and he died before med
ical aid arrived. Both men were resi-
dents of New Orleans.

Plenty Of Refreshments;
Rooms 500 Marks a Day

R, H. Laftman, who returned last
week from a visit to several European
countries, states that the manner in
which the people Of Germany are
working is amazing. He says every
man, woman and child is at work and
that if the currency of that country
was on a sound basis it would soon be
normal. Mr.. Laftman further reports
that the automatic machinery in OPP
Grafton at some of the big plants he
visited is more than amazing-that
one would hardly believe what he
sees.
Mr.. Laftman said that five cents
American money will buy lot OF
marks, something like a hundred. He
had a so bill changed into marks and
said he could not get it all in his
pockers. However, the bark goes
pretty easy, for he stated his room
cost him 500 marks day.
The German mark was formerly
worth 25 cents, now you get hum
dred for a nickel.
Mr.. Laftman said that as soon as
the train crossed the line into Ger
MANY that men were meeting the
train selling cognac, cigarettes and
chewing gum, and following this man
was another selling ice cold Pilsner
beer. -
Mr.. Laftman reports thst he en-
joyed the trip very much, but is glad
to get back to Bogalusa.
Mr.. Laftman stated the reports
about tourists being robbed in Ger
many by being charged eXhorbitant
prices is without the slightest fOun-
dation. All foreigners are charged
an additional tax of Is per cent, but
with the tax added, most everything
is several hundred per cent lower
than in America. AS stated above,
rooms with bath in the leading hotels
cost about 81 per day. Mr.. Laftman
also purchased a straw hat at a few
cents more than a dollar. On arriv-
ing in Chicago he desired to purchase
new one and picked out one similar
to his German hat and was charged
IS. He gave a number Of instances
to prove conclusively that an Amer
lean dollar will buy more in Germany
than five will here.

In this issue we carry an announce
ment from Judge H. F. Brunot, of
Baton Rouge, to the effect that he
is a candidate for Supreme Court
Judge of this state to succeed the
Honorable 0. o. Provosty, who has
announced that he will not be a can
didate for reelection.
Judge Brunot, without doubt, is
one of the ablest judges in the state.
AS District Judge of the Twenty-sec-
ond Judicial District Court, in which
capacity he has served for more than
twenty-five years, he has been called
upon to decide more cases of impor-
lance to the people of the state as a
whole than any other judge now serv-
ing on the bench.
In addition to the cases in which
district courts generally have juris-
diction, he has tried and decided all
of the cases affecting the powers and
duties of state officers and state gov
ernmental agencies arising during
that time, all of which, under the law,
must be tried at the state capital
Judge BrunOt's decisions in all of the
important state cases have been up
held by the higher courts to which
appeals were made.
These cases involved technical
study of public service control, in
Guiding the constitutional powers of
the Public Service Commission and Of
otoher governmental agencies and the
legality of their orders, particularly
the orders of the Public Service Com
affecting railroads, telegraph,
telephone and water transportation
facilities. A large number of cases
concerning assessment, taxation and
political rights of statewide impor-
lance are necessarily triable at the
seat Of government. The importance
and wide range of cases he has con-
sidered and passed upon has made
him familiar with every phase Of the
law and has given him an experience

South's Star Editor Has
Unique Story On Mayor

Jim Crown, accredited with being
the best city editor on any Southern
paper, had feature story in Sum
days New Orleans States on Mayor
Sullivan. Mr.. Crown has never met
nor seen Mayor Sullivan, but wrote
his story from his two years expert
ence in handling copy about our
mayor.
Mr.. Crown attributes the great
success of Bogalusa and her people
to the fact that Mr.. Sullivan believes
in making living conditions good, to
work when you have to work, but to
take some time to play-but not while
trying to do york. Keeping everyone
happy around him was given as the
key to the success of Colonel Sulli-
van, which Mr.. Crown advised other
captains of industry to follow.

Thinks Canning Plant
Great For Community

v. z. Farris, general manager of
TIE n. O G. n. in a letter to Presi-
dent J. H. Cassidy of the Bogalusa
Farm Products Company, believes
the canning factory is one of the best
things ever established for the farm
ers of this section.
Mr.. Farris has already rendered
valuable cooperation to the local
plant and he believes the dividends
the plant will pay in furnishing a
market to the farmers and the de-
velopment Of the lands around b.
galusa will be greater than any divi-
dend the plant can possibly pay in
cash. Following is his letter, which
will be of interest to all:
Mr.. ]. H. Cassidy, President, Boga-
lusa Farm Products Company, b.
galusa, La.
Dear Mr.. Cassidy
Replying to your letter of the 5th
instant, file 1877:
I an handing you herewith my
check for five hundred dollars to
cover an equ& amount of Canning
Company stock.
/ am not expecting any large re-
turn on this investment. l perhaps
could put this money in something
else that would bring a larger return,
but l am anxious to see the canning
company succeed because of the
benefit that it will be to the farmers
living along the line and to the people
of BogaIusa. l am satisfied that if
the canning company is to be of real
help, it's capacity will have to be
greatly enlarged, and I know this
cannot be done without additional
capital.
Yours very truly,
W. E. FARRIS.
