To be Condemned.
NatClitoches Democratic Review, Anti.


The Democratic Review has unceas-
ingly warned its anti-Lottery confreres
that a battle of vltuperatlon was the
| most dangerous to their cause, and they
should have learned that from the utter
collapse of the canvass against the
Lottery so far. Fair minded men who
are we'll disposed to vote against re-
charterlng the Lottery are not to be
moved by such disgusting ciamor us
that INDUCED in since June last, and
instead of gaining converts we have
steadily lost them.
In line with such expressions now
comes the Delta, paper that knows of
no other argument than scnie abuse
and SANDER, with an attack on the
Supreme Court of this State, which is
sufficient to disgust every decent anti
Lottery man in Louisiana to cause
him to pause and enquire, is there any
person, any officer in the State safe
from the shafts of these vile calumnia-
tors
The question at issue, which has
stirred the wrath of the Delta is one
purely of law. The Secretary of State
refuses to promulgate the Lottery
Amendment on the plea that having
failed to secure a necessary two-third
majority in each House, after having
been vetoed by the Governor, it is there
fore null and void. In other words
Secretary Mason holds that the Gov
ernor's approval is necessary to a Con-
stitutiOnal Amendment, and he has a
right to hold that opinion. The Lot
terry Company thereupon sue out writ
of mandamus, praying that be be COM
PEELED to promulgate said amendment,
as in their opinion the Governors sigma
ture is not necessary to a Constitutional
Amendment, and they have a right to
hold that opinion.
The Supreme Court, which is to de-
eide the question, has been opened upon
by the Delta, and it will no doubt be
the State. Their effort will be to create
in the minds of our citizens, that should
the Supreme Court sustain the views
held by the Lottery Company, "then
the Supreme Court has become the vile
henchman, the willing tool of the Lot
terry gamblers and lot more of such
foulmOuthed roc.
What must the outside world think
of cause as just as that against the
Lottery, having for its chief support
men and journals whose only argument
is slander and abuse-and that, leveled
at every human being who does not join
in their wild orgy7
Advertising seems to be an art yet to
be discovered by some people. That is,
the practical part of it. A constant
stream Of water from one or more fire
der control a very large fire, while few
buckets of water, dashed on here and
there, have little or no effect. The
modern fire department is practical, and |
has outgrOwn the old bucket system /; |
and so with modern advertising-plenty
of it used in a practical, common sense |
and judlclOuS manner, pays.
1t you want to catch certain kind of |
fish use a certain kind of bait; not all |
fish bite at all kinds of bait. Not all
people respond to every advertisement. !
The newspaper is medium indispensa-
BILE to the majority of advertisers, be-
cause Of it's wide and repeating circula-
tion. AS promoter of trade and profit
newspaper advertising is no longer an
open question that is, when done in
practical, intelligent manner, and pays
because of its effectiveness and cheap |
ness.-Beatrice (Neb.) Democrat.

and Henry T. Oxnard is now starting
another at Chino, in Southern Califor-
MIA. He investigated the suitability of
the lands, was given bonus of $500
acres of land and has contracted to
build factory costing him more than
half million dollars. Four thousand
acres will be planted in beets. and he
hopes by taking advantage of the equa-
ble climate of Southern California to so
regulate the crops as to have the factory
running nearly all the year. He expects
tohandle 10000 tons of beets year.
rhe machinery for the Chino factory
was ordered two months ago from the
irm of Langren g. Handhausen, near
Cologne, Germany, and is now on its
way to New Orleans, whence it will be
shipped to California. This is only the
technical machinery necessary to the
Of beet sugar. The re-
and greater part will be made
