The policemen caught the juveniles busily T ]•

combination knobs when the officers arr

ed the fact that silence was essential in ille

clatter. M L
The safecrackers were quite upset by the 223 poim

The Stato of Louisiana is a state
notorious for laughter, fun, fine
foodr Creole belles|and twenty-five
cent cigarettes, thirty-cent-a-gal-
lon gasoline and Huey P. Long
briilgcs. , A i
When Huey P. Long’s career was
cut short, the people of Louisiana
sighed relief, thanked God, and
then elected his son to Congress
and his brother to the Governor’s
office. Russell Long, the Kingfish’s
brother has ndt ‘resorted to the
more spectacular feats of graft or
power politics, but he does lay the
s old tax hand Ion with unlcntihg
Insure and doesn’t bother to
shnHUHe’s going “to get Louisiana
out or. the red? and loose pocket
change too, apparently. The people
of Louisiana are naturally right
eously indignant; “The set-up is
scandalous,” th'«$y scream. Further-,
move, no' one voted for Rusaell, nor
fpr Huey Jr. either.
; 1 Very mysterious -it all seems;
i that these men were elected when
“ho one” voted for them. The state
of Louisiana has bectinie the laugh-
ingLstock of the country as far as
state’s government goes.
' Sorpe Louisianaians remember
the time that the Ringling Bros'
Circus was clue to play, in Baton
ir ' Rouge .It also seems that Huey’s
pet plaything,'the LSI’ football
team, was due to engage Rice
former the if ingftsh that he had
made all his arrangements weeks
in advance at d absolutely nothing
could be don ? about the • matter.
Long told R ngling then that he
had just toy *<i with the idea of
passing a tic! law which would re
quire all anitti ils;.entering the state
to l»e dipped land quarantined for
two weeks. r lfie. idea of dipping a
thousand poufids of snarling tiger
at a dip ma le ian impression on
Ringling/ Th( circus consequently
made other t nangements. ,
There is ai; o the time that Sen
ator Long wi nted his “boys and
girls,” the University student body
to go . to Go irgia to see a bull
game. FurtI crjnore, he wanted
them to go t nri less than $10 a
head. The ia|roads screamed im
possible. Hum-; just smiled and
prepared to prfcs a bill which levied
a duty on the railroads everytime
they crossed 1 bridge in the state.
The railroads somehow found a
way to carry the students (and
the loss).
, AS has bee i mentioned before.
Huey’s low f^r the LSI’ ball club
was unbounded. He’d do any
thing for th<i boys. He even ran
one of them tfbr the state legis
lature. a i . 1

Now the circus is all right; Huey
loved cotton candy, but—itithe cir
cus played the same night ' the
football boys did, all the good Ba
ton 1 Rouge people might not get
to see the ball game (and bright
not get to pay the attached fee tor
witnessing the event.) <r
Consequently, Long phoned John
Ripgling and told him that his cir
cus' would have to amuse and err-
tegtain another night. Ringling in-
have made n| pretense of hiding
their intentions or policies. Two
men who hate’ every chance and
every reason to set up a Long ma
chine even mote powerful than that
of their late ikinsnran. We abhor
these men an|| their idea. But the
