MR, ADVERTISER: Do you know that you would have to place your ad vertisement in about FIVE papers of ordinary circulation to get the results you can get by placing it in the St. Lan dry Clarion? Do you know that even that would scarcely give you the returns of ONE advertisementin the Clarion, because, the fact that a paper has such a large circulation carries with it the indisputable evidence that it is a GOOD-paper, , and the people want to read it? Do you know that the Clarion has added to its already large circulation, that of the St Landry Commoner Do you know that no weekly paper in the State can-e er an adertiser such inducements? And do you know that the Clarion has not increased i advertising ratesi 1_1 i it111a 'Two .ewslaper Iea en eck. Donaldsonville Chief: C. W. Seals, editor of the Homer Guard ian-Journal, has been appointed by State Fire Marshal MTimuade as deputy fire marshal for the north Louisiana district, with headquarters at Monroe. With two newspaper men in charge it may be taken for granted that the business of the fire marshal's ofice will be handled right up to the handle. They have long been teaching presidents how to run the nation -and governors how to manage the state, hence bossingt a little fire maushal's job ought to be a mere bagatelle to them. Shreveport Journal: And they have the unmitigated nerve to "echarge" that Sam Fullilove, as commissioner of public safety, is temperamentally incompetentto enforce the laws except in in stances where the enforcement of the laws happened to further the interests of himself and a small "eoterie of kindred spir its." This indictment seems to cover the Methodist Sunday school and the Kappa Alpha fraternity as these, we believe, coustitute the mininer' "little coterie." Frankdin Watchman: People will begin to think that the third district has, only one man apable of going to congrems, to which sentimenti we interpsei serious objection with a general denial. It is claimed that we cannot do without Mr. Broegs sard, but that is merely a matter of individual opinion. No one man in the world is essential to i..stene. We.ean do with out anybody. We are doing with out Washington, Jefferson, Lee, Grant, McKinley, Cleveland and an endless chain of great men, and we believe the world is reek ing along fairly well, just the sane.

Senator Lazaro closeed th speaking. He spoke in a clear, ringing voice, and was emphatic in everything he said. The Sen. ator is a forceful talker, and made a decidedimpre.ion on his heaters. He said: "Mr. Chairman, Ladies, and Gentlemen: "I am glad to have the honor and pleasure of addressing you here to-night, and I want to thank you for it.
