ment. That the appeal will find I
de lodgement in the consciencesI
and judgement of the voters,[
on young and old alike, and will U
- arouse them to a determined and t
united action can not be doubted. c
- The purpose of the Democratic I
 Good Government League and v
its mission is surely patriotic. E
- It has no candidates whatever in !i
- view nor preferance for any. P
When the time comes to select "
" candidates for State offices, the c
i. supporters of the reform move- s
ment will unite upon men of un- L
questioned fidelity to the reform
,, platform and that are entirley
it eligible as to character and
e capacity. The success of the
e movement cannot be doubted,
directed as it is against the sys- h
I tern of personal government, si
fovoritism, excessive executive cc
appointing power, the creation of 8
a multitude of new offices, the
- appropriation of the public funds c
for the maintenance of useless hi
officials and sinecures, the ex- W
j travagant waste of the money of w"
• the State and its diversion from wI
Slegitimate purposes and especial.
. ly from the support of the chari
table institutions of the State
which are languishing for proper
financial aid, the increase of taxa
tion, over-riding the policy of the
Democratic party of the State, Ke
ordained and promulgated in the HE
statue requiring that the nomin- Tr
ation of candidates for the as
United States Senate be sub.- al
mitted by popular vote, and over
riding the plank in the National
Democratic platform and the
overwhelming vlce of the Demo
I crats of Louisiana demanding
the imnposition of a Federal m
come tax.
And yet a recital of this long
list of delinquencies leaves the
bill of indictment against the
Sanders administration for inm
competancy and mal administra
tion yet incomplete. To that in
dictment must be added the long
list of pledges and promises
which the Governor himself
made in every speech he de
livered when appealing to the
people for their votes, but which
were disregarded by him or un
ceremoniously violated at every
step of his administration.--St.
Landry Commoner.
"Notice To Those Desir
ing Corn Crushed."
From this time on we shall
have special grinding days, we
shall on every Wednesday crush
corn and on every Saturday from
8 a. m. untill 3 p. m., we shall I
grind meal, we will also crush
corn on this day but prefer
crushing on Wednesday as we
have always a steady all day run ,
with meal on Saturday. If you
wish to be first you will have to
get up early because there is al
ways a rush.

s5es look well on the shelves;
you can judge a pair of shoes
kest after you've morn them.
When you bay a pair of Selz shoes
you are buying shoes that for thirty-nine
years have held a reputation for all that is
good in shoes; they're built on honor by
makers who cannot be tempted to cheapen
them in a fraudulent way. That is the
reason they are the largest makers of good
shoes in the world.
