TBE TERSASGAZETTE ST. JOSEPH. - - LA., P.IDAY, DiECEMBER 22, 1916. - - A NIMTI F WAslsi (From Lake Provldence Bianlar-Deaoc'a ,, We have published lately seve.rli ar tioles fltteracg Mr. John Parker orn the part be took in the campaign, fc, Wilson and thought he should'be given a cabinet pos:m.ion. Now we puhlisih "A Note of Warning" siglned by ",\ Straight Democrat," published to the States of the 9th. tie says: I noticed that tihe steriing l)emo-. oratic (?) journal, The Item, is raising a terrible "hullabaloo" over t.he Joltrt M. Parker dinner and what he did iv, the last campaign. I have 1no desire to belittle Mr. Parker oin his receent support of President Wilson, but it is evident to ,nv rgind that a very insid lnas effort is being< made by his new-. paper organ and its cohorts to make political capital for the future From reading the Item's daily :ontle col omn articles on Mr. Parker and hi. dinner one would almost think a state campaign was in progress and we sou peet it i n Mr. Ballard's dreams. I would sound a note of warning at thi time in order that those democrat-. who have fought in thfle ranks of the party and have put up their moncey time after time for success both in state and nation, may not be taken o n awares, but will use their sober sense In connecting with this, as well as all other matters of public, interest. Let as analyze the situation a littl,.. Mr. Parker does not claim to hbe a democrat but a "bull mooser," and openly said in his speeches ,luring t;ie past two years that he never expected to vote another democratic tic.ket. H,, and others of the progressive party, denounced Presild..nt Wilson in uI. measured terms ulsd so ,lid the Irem, because it was orgilnally for p',.aoer r Ubamp Clark, the father-is- law of its manager. last spring these sanme people fought lbe regular demleratic lnominee for governor bitterly anid with all tle in vective possible.

Wate' anid see. It is also to be noted with sonme de gee of interest that Mr. Parker is re questing that hi' old friend, ex-(iov ernor Hall, he suitably taken care of' on the federal district bench of the westero district of I.oulsiana. when (ov. Hall is not a resident of that dis Strict and has inot been for months, aid did NOT vote in the presidential elc'I, tlion. However, one Is not. snrprised at this when we remember that Gov. Hall, "lthomugh the democratic gover nor, did not vote at the general elec tltion tat April and thereby tacitly a as- i siated thie bull anoose nominee for gotv ernor, .Mr. Parker. Also we remem ber that (ov. Hall wrote a letter to Dr. Dillonr last March commending Mr. Parker for having stood by him and lis administration, leaving the impression that this, (Parker's) qlec tion wonld be very Ileasing to him (Hall). No wonder Mr. Parker is ask ing for (Gov. Hall tobe appointed,even if the said Gov. Hall did fight the nom ilation of President Wilson four years ago at Baltimore and called him ano'hing hut a shelt reacher. No won der the Item in boosting Hall for the job whenl we remember that foor years ago Gov. Hail forced a division of the vote in tWle convention in favor of Speaker Clark. These things are mentioned now that democrats in their mental into 'i cation ecaused by reading biassed press news may in thlir sober moments re member a few things, and cannot say a word of caution was not spoken. AS TO INCIESE S CIFEDEAITE For the information of the pension ers who are anxious to know if their pea,sons are to be increased, an) if so at what time, the pension board has prepared the following statement: Article- 103 of the constitution of 1913 fixed the sum of 6P60,000 out of the one. mill tax assessed to pay the Confederate pensioners, and any ac orniing surplus from said tax fund Slhall be turned over to the common .inool fund. aaidl artk.'l :103 wai amended by aim :ameidmenent winich was voted on at the last congr.ssional election in Novem ber, 1916. so as to give the entire pro e-eds of the one mill tax to pay the Colnfederate pensioners. The total a.sessment of the state for 1916 will be a6out 6597,000,000; there f,,re the onc mill tax cannot exceed 5697,000, which would be an increase of 647,000 over thle *660,000 which the pelnsioners Ihave been receiving an nually. The pension board at it's meeting in June, 1916, took all the names of the veterans and their widows from it's waiting list, and placed them on the paying Puoll. We now have on the 'active roll 8,116 veterans and 9,970 wid: ws, or a total of 6,i185. It requires the annual sum of ,684, 160 , pay the 424 per quarter or 88 ~er month. Tihe pension board has on file at present 447 applications for pensions. If tihe pensiou board has not amffieient tandºs to provide for all the applicants. the remaining ones will have to be ,1mt on the waiting list.. It has heenl snggetred that .lie pen sion board oKlght. t redluice Ihe pen slOns of 6,000 pemsiolers to make room f ,r a few hundred. The pera iol hoard is af oplnion ah;t it wonkt be exceed imgly ummjaist a ad 'nafair to puanish the milan. for the, few. All the more so whln a'ii consider t,,at most of the ,enslionrr were a'l'ditted when the law only allowed tht.m to ponsees 3600 in pcoer-ty , and the law of 1916 allows t ihm tpplicant for a pettsion to poassess *$2,000, and quite a imimtmr of the new applicant, came umtder this law. If the legislaturnre wishes to give the pensioners 821i per month it will have to Is.'es on thie present assessment of a h- state tlire mills ittead of one; ia other words, they would have to triple the rate of tax. The pension board, in conclusion, wishes to extend to all tihe pensioners a Mh.,'y Christmas and a Happy New Year. E. F. BRIAN, Secretary. RUB-MY-T[SM -- Antiseptic.
