WILL THE MACHINE CRUMBLE?
What will now become of the powerful political ma
chine that Senator Huey Long has built up in Louisiana?
That is the question political thought throughout the nation
is asking as the result of the great amount of publicity the
Senator was able to achieve for his unusual activities before
violent death struck him down. Not in the history of this
nation has one man been able to rule with such an iron hand
through political patronage and control of public funds, and
what the result will be, now that the leader is gone, should
be an interesting study in American politics.
Had he budded so well something of lasting purpose,
of general good and popular approval doubtless it would
have lived as a monument to his memory, but a political
house is fickle at best and the chances for its survival with
the master hand missing would appear to be slight. There
is, of course, the remote possibility that within his organi
zation there is some lieutenant who will stand out and be
able to take over but it will be a revelation in political his
tory if it proves the exception. It is more probable that for
a time his chief understudies will struggle along in the
course their leader has outlined, only to eventually attempt
to decide on the man among them to succeed to the throne.
That decision, if similar past political incidents are criter
ion, probably will be the one to split the ranks of the ad
herents.
With the opposition now immediately becoming a more
potent force in Louisiana, taking advantage ol the opportun
ity to square accounts, the aftermath of the Baton Rouge
fatal shooting will likely prove one of the most interesting
political pictures this country has seen in a long time.—Jun
eau Daily Empire.
DID YOU EVER STOP TO THINK?
By Edson R. Waite, Shawnee, Oklahoma
The belief is taking root that politics is now becoming
a profession, and the people are becoming tired of the mea
gerness of results produced by the professional politician.
The American and Canadian people are a peace-loving
people .They peacefully object to any curbing of personal
freedom and are willing to make heavy sacrifices in paying
taxes. They live in hopes and expectations of the lighten
ing of the tax burden, but day by day they are asked to add
to the burden.
It is hoped the time is not far away when the politicians
will discover that the people are beginning to realize that
the brightly pictured results promised by the politicians
have produced few results besides added taxes. This fact
cannot be camouflaged much longer. The average citizen
sees through this and sometimes has hitter things to say,
but, with a shrug of the shoulder, carries on, trying to make
the best of it.

The place is littered and unkept and
shows lack of care and attention but
the interior of the church does not
particularly show the ravages of the
hand of time. Many of the religious
vestments and crosses peculiar to
the service adorn the walls and the
sacred images of the Holy Trinity,
Father. Son and Holy Ghost, look
clown on the empty pews. The pray
er books are yellow with age and
the richly embroidered altar cloth
is dusty and moth eaten. There are
no candles on the old fashioned can
die sticks and the soft beams of
the afternoon’s sun lights up the in
terior of this old Russian Greek chin
ch that has been made sacred and
hallowed by many religious ser
vices.
The crowded church graveyard,
too,surrounded by small board fenc
es, with its many different wooden
designs and emblems, presents a
quaint appearance. The Indians bur
ied their dead in coffins placed on
top of tlie ground but the coffins
are covered and surrounded by small
board fences. Each design symbolic
of the family together with an Icon
of the Greek church, all decorated
with vari-colored paint, made by the
natives. This once hardy race is
gradually dying out, mainly due to
the ravages of tuberculosis and in
breeding that often leaves the mark
of physical defect. The village only
numbers oil souls at the present
time and each year sees more and
more of the cabins deserted either
by death or by flight further into
the Interior or the inhabitants who
dead tJ-je march of civilization. It
is only a question of time until Old
