j tbat today the Character of the men |
We choose to serve us is more vital !
| than ever before in history, for in
j matters of government we are com
pelled to put blind faith in the men
we choose to serve us. Government
has become so highly technical, so
amazingly complex, that it is quite
beyond the understanding of the ov
erage individual. The subtleties of
civic finance, the intricacies of ex
port trade, the complexities of trans
portation problems by land and sea,
the technique of tariff, the. bewilder
ing, contradictory elements entering
.
j into scientific taxation, not to speak
of the dazing Problems j,f foreignje-- ,
lations, have removed government so
| far from the ken of the average citi
zen that he has lost all touch with it i
and feels it is something with which !
he has grave concern, but in which |
he dares not to express an opinion. ;
His happiness, his welfare, depend !
on the skill with which these techni- j
cal problems are confronted, yet they J
can be man-handled to his complete!
undoing without his even sensing the ;
folly of his representative. Summed j
up, government has gone completely j
from the hands of the people; it seems

first trip to that progressive city *nd|""
he returned with glmving descriptions 1
of the city and its hospitable people, :
and the spirit of coo-peration which 1
permeates* the very air. The gentle-1
man in question was shown through -

thousands of employes, its huge jiay
roll and its efficient organization. He
T u ^ n W 'had

iruidp told him that Mr Vardaman
KSfc 'f had
while governor of Mississippi, had
spo nsored a law which made it im
possible for a corporation of this :
magnitude to locate within the state
0 f Mississippi, so the general plan to
locate the plant in LawTence county,
Miss., had to be abandoned and—Bo

If I had been for Vardaman this

Better Avoid Bogalusa
If there should happen to reside in
| Bogalusa any one who drinks intoxi
! eating liquors and is inclined to speed
his automobile, he had better stay
outside tbe city limits, for the police
are going to start w^# on such char
acters.
Bogalusa has been unusually for
tunate in auto accidents, but nearby
cities have been compelled to take
drastic steps to proctect the public
from drunken speeders. The Boga
lusa police force believes in the pol
icy of acting before anyone is in
jured.

W. J. Powell, residing in Little |
Buffalo came to The Enterprise
' . ..... n
Wednesday morning to exhibit
sample peach from a tree which he |
grew from a seedling. The peach j
was of the clingstone variety, was
luscious looking and weighed six
ounces, which is some weight for a
peach (the kind that grow*s on trees). I
Mr. Powell said the tree was four
years old and came up from a seed
he planted. For the past two years
the tree has dropped its fruit before j
it ripened, due to insects. This j
spring Mr. Powwell decided to elim- !
inate the bugs and give the tree a j
chance. He used a spray of sulphur,
quick lime and arsenate of lead, with j
the result he has garnered some splen-j
