The editor of the West Baton
Rouge Sugar Planter, himself a
member of the Legislature, men,
tions the following as important
and pressing subjects that will
come before the General Assem-
bly,:
l. The creation of q railroad
commission to prevent discrimina-
ton by railroads in the matter OF
freight and passenger rates be-
tween certain points.
2. To re-establish the beneficia-
ry cadet system at the Louisiana
State university, providing for the
appointment of seventy-five bene-
ficiary cadets, or one from each
parish, and seventeen from the
city of New Orleans.
8. The introduction of an amend
ment to the States constitution ION
which the people shall vote at the
next general election) abolishing
the circuit judge system-that
worse than useless fifth wheel to
our judiciary, which entails an
annual expense to the State of for
ty or fifty thousand dollars.
4. The enactment of law CIV
ing magistrates Justices of the
psace) final jurisdiction over petty
cases.
S. The abolition of the useless
and silly law requiring sheriff Gales

Alexandria and Her Railroads.

Alexandria and Her Railroads.
The last issue of the Alexandria
Town Talk has an extensive map
of central Louisiana and Rapides
parish, showing a irregular grid-iron
of railroads concentrating at the
town of Alexandria A funny feat
urs Of the map is that while about
a dozen railroads are represented
as converging at that town, only
one completed railroad is designa-
ted, while all the rest are Gin the
sweet bye and bye" as it were.
However, we have no fault to find
with Bro. Mccormick for footing a
loud horn for his town, for the
rule is that she that bloweth not
his own horn the same shall Ie-
main unblowed." But, seriously,
his map and description of central
Louisiana is faithful and not the
least exaggerated. ALI the rail-
roads are in contemplation, and
the most of them will be completed
within few years. Also the nat
ural fertility and resources of the
country are an undisputed fact, and,
while to those unaccustomed to
such wonderful productiveness and
climatic advantages, such accounts
may read as q fairy tale, they are
absolutely true, and those who
come to this country to investigate
for themselves always join in the
unanimous verdict that but half
has been told. Our clear running
brooks, green hills and Wales, the
level stretches along our rivers of
miles upon miles of rich alluvial
lands in the highest state of Guilt
walton, our hospitable people,
pleasant temperature of both winter
and summer, remarkable healthful-
ness, and dozens of other advan-
tages, surprise them at every turn.
Let the good work go on, and 1T
will be but short while before
the false impression that has here
tofore prevailed abroad, that Louis
lana is a sort of mud hole, with
here and there a small knols upon
which alligators and bullfrogs
blink in the sunshine and lazily
lap in myriads of mosquitoes. will
be happily and forever dissipated.

There il one feature of the Lou
isiana law relative to title in real
estate that il clearly faulty. This
is, that the original act of sale is
required to be deposited in the
clerks Office and recorded In
Texas, and we believe most all
other states of the Union, tho
law only requires that the act
should be recorded and the origi-
nal then passes into the hands of
the owner of the property. The
Louiniana law is we think arbitra-
ry, unjust, antediluvian, and should
be repealed. Take one instance
only, the burningof the courthouse.
Had the title deeds been In the
possession of the owners of the
property they conveyed instead of
the wooden courthouse how easily
ell the muddled conditions of titles
would have been arranged Every
man would have come forward and
have his chain of titles recorded,
and that would have speedily
placed things on their former basis.
As it is, the originals as well as
tho records are destroyed, and
years and years will have to elapse
before certain, safe titles can in
many instances be given.

We have received copy of bill to
be presented to the Legislature to pro-
vide for the equipment and support Of
q weather service at the expense of the
State. It is held to be highly impor-
tant to our farming interests to have
correct and timely information - to
the weather prospects, and we believe
the small sum of $1,000 ssked for this
purpose should be given, if the pres
condition of the State finances will al
low the expenditure.

The emperor of Brazil has had q
relapse. He shows symptoms Of neu-
ralgic cerebral congestion. His maj
esty is delirious and his nervous CEN
ters appear to be shaken.
News of the serious illness of Dom
Pedro II, Emperor OF Brazil, is received
with sincere regret in this country.
His majesty has travelled extensively
in the United States, and has impressed
fovorably all with whom he has made
acquaintance by his unaffected, manly
bearing, his affability, his eager and
well-informed intelligence. and his
earnest desire to benefit, by the adop-
ton of the best means of industrial
and social improvement, the great
country over which he reigns.
Dom Pedro is q descendant, in the
direct male line, of the house of Bra
ganza, the female limo of which is
ruling over Portugal. Eighty years
ago the royal family of Portugal fed
to Brazil. The colony was declared
kingdom eight years after. In 1912
the Portuguese court returned to
Europe and q national congress was
convened at Rio de Janeiro. The next
year Dom Pedro, eldest son of King
Joan vi of Portugal was chosen ''per-
petual defender" of Brazil. Shortly
after Brazil was declared independent
of Portugal, and on October IL, 1922,
Dom Pedro was chosen constitutional
emperor and perpetual defender" He
abdicated the crown in 1881, when his
son, present emperor, succeeded him.
Brazil is governed constitutionally.
There are four powers in the state
the legislative, the executive, the judi
cial and sovereign's prerogative. The
ruler Of this vast empire, which con-
tains ten millions or more of inhabi-
tants, receives about 500, 900 . year
for his support with appropriate state
aud dignity.
The emperor was born on Dec. 2,
1925, the son of the Emperor Pedro 1
and of the Archduchess Leopoldina of
Austria. He was less than 81 years
old when made emperor. In July,

IN. o. CITY Itsm.J
Our excellent and enterprising
contemporary, the Alexandra Town
Talk, proposes to publish on Sat
urday, 18th inst, for circulation in
this State and the Western States,
an immigration edition 'larger
than any country paper in Louis
lana has ever issued" And we
believe that Town Talk will do it,
too.
The State 1mmigss ion Associs-
ton has adopted q policy which
the Item believes will have impor-
tant results in promoting the cause
of immigration. In an address be-
fore the Press Convention at Ope-
lousas, Col. George Norman, the
president of the Bureau, announced
that he desired to secure every
county editor as an immigration
agent as the local editor is fully
qualified to get up all the statistics
and information needed. Instead
of publishing this matter in circu-
lars it is proposed that each par
ish paper shall get out great inn
migration edition, the association
to subscribe for enough copies to
defray the extra cost of the issue.
This plan il in accordance with
views already urged by the Item.
It is not only the most practical
plan for obtaining descriptions OF
the various parishes, but twill OK
cite among our rural ootemporaries,
and through them among their
readers, . lively interest in the
cause of immigration.
The Item thinks it would be
good plan to offer q premium Of,
say $500 to the paper that shall
get out the best edition, the award
to made by q committee selected by
the State Press Association. There
would doubtless be q number of
entries for the prize, and Louisiana
would get some lively booming.
The immigration Association is
now on solid basis and is doing
good work. It has already dissem-
mated : vest deal of information.
and located many immigrants. It
has no sectional bias, and works,
equally for North, Central and
South Louisiana.
This association, organized in
response of tho demands of the
people, voiced by one of the most
representative bodies of men ever
assembled in the State, enjoys in q
high degree the public confidence,
it's officers have been Jealous and
efficient workers in the cause, and
deserve hearty support in .
movement SO vital to the prospsri-
ty of the State.
While the association has al
ready rendered valuable service, it
must be remembered that it is at
present supported entirely by pri-
vate and parochial contributions.
To extend it's sphere Of usefulness
it is necessary that it should re-
ceivs State aid and endorsement,
and it is hoped that one of the
first acts of the Legislature win be
| to make liberal provision for it,
maintenance.

Legislative Gossip.

Baton Rouge is all agog with
embryo statesmen, and the place
hunters are 80 thick ono can scarcely
turn around for them. The Senatori-
al race appears to bepretty well mar
rowed down to Gibson and Blanch-
ard on one side and Eustis and
Jonas on the other, and very little
will be done until this important
election is over. Next Tuesday is
the day fixed for by law for the
election of q. s. Senators. The
members who answered roll call
last Monday are said to be finest
looking body of Legislators that
has ever assembled in the capitol.
Mr.. Jos. w. Hyams, of West Baton
Rouge, editor of the Sugar Plan
ter, aged 20, is the youngest men,
Der of the House, while "our joe"
now the Hon. J. B. Boatner, aged
rs, is the youngest Senator.
The Senate organized by the
election of Hon. Murphy ]. Fos-
tor of st. Mary as president pro
tenn. Charles d. Gallery of Lafay-
cite was elected secretary, and j.
G. P. Hooe of Rapides sergeant
alarms. In the House Mr.. s. P,
Henry of Cameron parish was
elected speaker, and DR.. P. j.
Irrelevant of Caddo was reelected
clerk, while Major Thomas McIn-
tyre was also reelected sergeant
alarms. The usual committee was
appointed to wait on Gov. McEn-
cry and inform him that the Houee
was organized and ready to receive
any communications he might de-
sire to make. The governors mes
sage is a lengthy document, occu-
plying several columns in the city
papers, and is able and exhaustive
in the discussion of public meas
ures. In the organization of the
Legislature it is plain that the
Nichols men have the inside track,
but there is no wrangling, and all
appear to work together in harmo-
ny and good will.
Balloting for United States SEN
ators is required by law to begin
in each House the second Tuesday
after the organization of the Leg
islature, which will be May 22d.
If there is hot and dilatory con-
test over the speakership, the bal
loting for Senators may be delayed
until the following Tuesday. The
law requires a bollot to be taken
every day of the session until the
Senators are chosen.
G. K. Jones, editor of the Winn-
field Sentinel, has been facetiously
dubbed "Baby Editor" by Senator
j. B Boatner, and is wearing his
first political spurs as the youngest
minute clerk of the Senate.
A gentleman distinguished as a
jurist and member of the Senate,
pertinently remarked in referring
to the Senatorial outlook: This
preliminary caucusing and street
corner buzzing on the o. s. Sena-
torship is extremely distasteful to
gentlemen. Itseems as if the pub
lie regard us as living jumping
jacks with number of strings,
and any string that is pulled makes
us comfort and tumple for the edi-
fcation of all. Let me tell you
once for all, there is not man
sent to Baton Rouge by sensible
constituents that has not reviewed
the situation weeks ago, and when
the time comes will vote and stand
by his own personal convictions"

expression to fit an existing circum-

Woman's Ingenuity.

Laugh at the tinkering OF women as
you choose, but it has been my observa-
ton that almost every contrivance for
use in the house has been made and
suggested by the woman, and not by
the man. In almost every house where
there are children you will find baby
house, in size from starch box TO
packing box, made by mammals hands.
Then there is the sitting-room sofa,
made from an old packing box.
A young housekeeper whose means
are limited, made the whole furniture,
with the exception OF bed, for her bed
rooms. The dressing-case, or bureau,
was fitted with shelves instead Of draw
ers, and the whole covered with cur
tain Of cretonne. On the top Of either
end were placed small starch boxes
fitted with shelves, the whole covered
with cretonne, with curtains to hide the
shelves. The goods were fastened down
with tacks which were hidden by mar
row pleating of the same material.
Above the washstand was placed look
ing-glass about two-and-a-half feet in
length; over this was a canopy Of Gre
tonne, the board at the top being about
ten inches in width and not quite the
length of the width OF the glass. The
cloth was laid on the board in box
pleats. The whole separated in the
form of a pair Of curtains, and were Sc
cured with ribbon bows at the top OF
the stand. Under the glass was mar
row shelf with lambrequin OF ere
tonne. The chairs were made of boxes
covered with the same goods. No backs
being used, the tops were padded with
cotton batting. The whole gave the
appearance OF handsomely furnished
room, the total cost not exceeding two
guineas.
This woman is no exception to the
rule. In nine cases out of ten you will
find the girls quite as handy with the
tools as the men; and, indeed, in many
parts Of Europe you will find women
engaged in every branch of carpentry
work. Yankee Blade.
