The Oldest and most powerful monopoly OF
the world shows signs of decay and dissolu-
ton.
The Hudson Bay Company was organized
BOT years ago. Like the India Company, 1t
prospered. grew rich and soon became an
almost independent sovereign. Twenty odd
years ago the India Company yielded to the
pressure of the Sepoy rebellion and threw up
its charter. It's American confrere has sur
yived it one generation and now threatens to
follow It's example-thanks to much smaller
accidents than rebellion.
S The business once done by the Hudson
Bay Company was immense, its capital
being hundreds of millions OF dollars. on
which it paid large dividends IL undoubtedly
did much to develop the country IL ruled over
and to ameliorate the condition of tn Indians
with whom it had to deal. It's powers were
almost as great as the Indian Company. which
boosted of immense armies waged wars with
mighty empires and ruled 3 hundred million
Of people. The entire population OF British
America, outside of the Dominion on Canada,
are employees of the company, and these num-
her Mt least three times the Immense Office

or course, such gigantic corporation could
oniv be sustained at heavy expense. Mil
lions Of dollars were spent In erecting stone
forts. building roads through the country and
furnishing subsistence to its inhabitants. In
had wears the company often found itself with
n whole tribe of Indians dependent on it for
support
Yet. gigantic as was this corporation, it has
been crushed by two most insignificant acct
dents-cats and women. The revenues of the
Hudson Bay Company were derived almost
entirely from its sale of furs. 1t supplied the
entire world with these.
The ladies of fashion in London, Paris,
New York. even in far distant Moscow,
sported capes and muffs Of its Canadian
sables The monopoly Of this business was
n most profitable one, when. alas! fashions
changed. Costly furs are not near as fashion
able now as they were score OF years ago
This change of fashion was heavy blow tC
the company, but it still survived it unit
some wretch discovered that cat fur could bt
converted into the best sables. and that ra
skins would do just as well as mink. Thi'
simple discovery has wrecked tho most pow
erful corporation in the world. corporation
that was, to all iRtsnts and purposes
nm independent empire. with domain
larger than any kingdom Of Europe
CAT skins finished what fashion had begun
For a number Of years past since these imi
tation furs have been on the market the Hud
con Bay Company has failed TO pay dividend
on its immense capital. and has even assesses
iss members for money to carry on its al

The country press is throwing out many
good suggestions just now as to what legisla-
ton is needed by the State and expected from
our Legislature at the coming session. The
Terrebonne Progress has number of sugges-
tions to make on this point and lays down a
platform of thirteen planks which, 1t says,
will be pressed before the Legislature by the
people of that section Of the country. The
platform begins by calling for strong memo
rial from the Legislature addressed to Con-
gress asking protection for our levees and our
sugar industry, and aid for the improvement
OF Bayou Lafourche, the entrance to which
was filled up by the Federal Government it
selfin 1914 The office of tax collector, it thinks,
should be consolidated with the shrievalty,
and all the petty offices In the country parishes
such as police jurors, justices of the peace,
school directors etc, now separate and indie
pendent. consolidated in one body Of men.
The poll tax must be enforced ward officers
should be elected by wards SO as to give
minority representation. A practical immi-
grafton law must be passed, one that will
bring immigration to this State; jurors
and witnesses should be paid for their SER
vices Such are the main features OF this
platform, which will undoubtedly commend
itself to the public and to the Legislature.
One of the Progress ideas is quite novel
as far as the State of Louisiana is concerned.
This is the creation OF an examining board to
test the abilities of applicants for offices before
assuming the duties of any public Office. This
plan, which was suggested under the Grant
regime, and which was sadly ridiculed by the
newspapers then and came to be vul-
carly known as the Kindergarten" or
blackboard" system is one that the Fed
eral government, when it tried IL. did not find
successful. 1t Is said that under pressure
from Schurz, Hayes proposes to try it once
again. It would perhaps be well then for
Louisiana to pause awhile before trying this

the heat seems unbearable, the more

A strange and rather startling occur

a quiet and rather bashful lady, told
Elder Gillespie in the morning that
she wished to speak at the evening
meeting, and he told her he would be
glad to hear her. She came dressed in
black, and took a seat in front of the
pulpit and after the preliminary SER
vice began to act in a very strange
manner, utering sound like whistle
and when she began to talk the burden
OF her address was hypocrisy, rapidly
and loudly repeating the word hypo-
critic, land instructing that persons nam
ed should kneel down and humble
themselves. She was with some diff

RAIN,

Oh, the rain has many fitfu! moods

Oh, the rain has many fitfu! moods
Ere the merry summer Closes
From the first chirp of the robin broods
To the ruin of the roses
Through the sunshine's gold her glitter steals
In the doubtful April weather,
When the world seems trying how. it feels
To be sad and glad together.
Now and then, on quiet sultry eyes,
From her low, persistent patter,
She would seem confiding to the leaves
An extremely solemn matter.
Then, again, you see her from the sky
Such a mighty flood unfolding,
That you wonder if old earth knows why
1t receives so hard scolding
Yet we learn to fancy, day by day,
AS we watch her softly shining,
That she has no cloud, however gray,
But it wears a silver lining
For in autumn, though with tears she tells
How the lands grow sad and darken,
Yet in Spring her drops are tinkling bells
For the sleeping flowers to hearken!
And her tinted bow seems loves own proof,
AS it CLEANS with colors seven,-
Likely a stately dome upon the roof
Of her palace, high in heaven

Mr.. EDITOR 1t is thought by
many that our farms cannot be made
to produce as large crops as in old
times. Let such doubterS visit the
farm of Mr.. Manning, mile west of
town. on the the old Sykes place, and
behold his grass and oat crop. a
more magnificent field of oats was
never seen in this or any other coun-
ty. MI. M. is confident it will yield
over hundred bushels per acre. His
crop last year averaged ninety-three
bushels, and this year it looks better
than then.
His grass will go over four tons per
acre, piece already cut, of less than
5 acres yielded 20 loads that in the
Spring will weigh out 2Z tons.
If such crops can be raised on land
that has been plowed and titled as Of
ten and as long as any other land in
Kenosha County, would it not pay our
KenOsha farmers to visit Mr.. Ms farm
and ascertain how such results can be
accomplished. He claims that at the
present low prices, he can sell enough
hay to pay for his fertilizer, the wages
of his men, and then have more hay
left per acre than 1920 of the farms
in the county now produce. If so, it
is worth enquiring into, at any rate
the sight of such fields of grain and
grass is worth going good distance
to behold. j. B.
