Lafouche Comet: Berwick has
a curfew law. Not only that,
b~t. the law is being enforced
and at a given hour every night
boys have to leave the streets
and get home. Every town
should have a curfew law. Boys
Cannot learn anything good on
`-the streets at night time. There
is very little chance for them to
get in trouble when they are at
home.

Sabine Banner: Every little
'while some individual, wise and
'otherwise, imagines that he is
"oalled" to "save the country"
arnd forthwith starts a newspa
:-etr. He usually does a few me
tsiric stunts in alleged journal
mand then subsides. These
Vi-ntures are most manifest dur
Spolitical campaigns, and the
cenmoter usually learns that
aewspapers cannot thrive on
Pities alone. "Country-savers"
ld better conform to the prin
of true economy by start
a plow or getting a job pay
t a definite wage. Newspa
per making is a business--a pro
on-and it takes something
substantial than wind and
$emistic political editorials to'
them alive.
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

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

apable of going to congrems, to

serious objection with a general
denial. It is claimed that we
cannot do without Mr. Broegs

of individual opinion. No one

Grant, McKinley, Cleveland and
an endless chain of great men,
and we believe the world is reek

Senator Lazaro closeed th

He said:
"Mr. Chairman, Ladies, and

where it belongs, in the h6~rk of
the people and as, today, we
have the primary system and un
