Every Town Has a Chance.

1t lies within the sphere of every
municipality to have a successful
hustling business town or settle
ment where people merely exist.
There is no section in the South
but is blessed with some great ma
tural resources which would. if
properly appreciated and develo-
ped, bring fame and wealth to. the
surrounding cities and towns. The
South is far more blessed IN this
respect than any section OF the
entire United States. The great
staples and commodities which
are produced and found in the
Southern soil serve as the ny
wheel of the greatest manufactur-
ing cepters of the Northern and
New England States With the
many opportunities which exist
lon all sides it is mystery that so
many Southern towns, and espe-
cially Louisiana towns, remain in
Ia Rip Van Wrinkle state.
The development of Southwest
Louisiana is looked upon as won
derful when compared with the
rich parishes Of sugar, cotton and
lumber districts of the State. But
1t is not to be wondered at. It il
only to be expected. When pro-
gressive meh determined t.

A majority of the farmers in the

COLORADO LAW
Is EFFECTIVE
SUPREME COURT sUsTAINs CON-
STITUTIoNALlTY OF oUARAN-
TINE AcT-PREVENTs IMPoR-
TATIoN OF DISEASED CATTLE.

Washington December 1.-The United
States supreme court today sustained the
constitutionality of the stock quarantine
law of colorado. The decision was an
nounced by Justice Harlan and was based
upon the case Of S. H. Reed VS.. the Peoa
pie of Colorado. The Jaw prohibits the
importation of cattle or other live stock
into the state from points south of the
36th parallel of latitude between April
and November, unless they bear bills of
health. The law was attacked as un-
constitutional and also as antagonistic to
the interstate commerce law and the an
imal industry law, but the court held
the law to be in accord with the right of
the state to protect its own citizens. An
application for a writ of error in the
habeas corpus proceedings instituted by
Reed also was overruled.
In course of his opinion, Justice Har-
Ian said that the cattle in question were
on the way from Texas to Wyoming and
that 1t was admitted they were not in
fected by any contagious disease
"Of the claim that one state has a
right to ship live stock from one state
to another, the court said that state
may protect its people from infection.
taking care always that the means em-
ployed to that end do not go beyond the
necessities of the case. or unreasonably
burden the exercise of privileges secured
by the constitution of the United States.
AS there is no evidence In the case as to
the practical operation of this regulation
upon shippers Of cattle, as 1t does not
appear otherwise than that it can be
obeyed without embarrassment or with
out unnecessary delay, the court cannot
assume arbitrarily that it was wholly
without authority in the circumstances,
or that it unduly burdened the exercise Of
the privilege of engaging in inter-states
commerce.
"As the statute does not forbid the in
PRODUCTION of all live stock coming from
the defined territory, but only prescribes
certain methods of protection, and as
those methods have been devised by the
state under it's reserved power to pro-
tect the property of its people from in
jury and do not appear upon their face
to be unreasonable. we must in the abb
sence of evidence to the contrary, as
sumo that they are appropriate to the
object to which state is entitled to ac-
complish."

SENIOR CONCHA NO
LONGER MINISTER
ORDERS FROM BAeoTA RETIRE
HIM AS REPRESENTATIVE OF
COLOMBIA IN WASHINGTON
TREATY VIEWS TOO STRONG.

Washington, D. c., December 1.-Senor
Concha has been relieved as minister for
Colombia by orders from Bogota, and it
is believed that DR.. Thomas Heron, the
present secretary of the legation here,
will be accredited as minister to succeed
Senior Concha in the course of a few
days. Meanwhile DR.. Heron has been
clothed by his government with full au-
thority to prosecute the negotiations look
ing to canal treaty with considerably
enlarged powers.
Minister Concha having stood fast
against strong representations from his
government favoring a treaty, the latter
decided to place the further negotiations
in the hands of DIR. Heron. 1t is as
sumed from this course that the chances
of the treaty had been bettered.
1t is believed that the question OF SOW
ereignty which has thus far held up the
negotiations of a treaty is in a fair way
to be settled between Colombia's new
is no doubt that the state department
will give it's cordial assent to the success
sion of DR.. Herran as minister.
DIR. Herran called at the state depart
ment today and acquainted Acting Sec
retary Hill with the eacts in the case.
The departments statement of the mat
ter is that Minister Concha remains in
New York for the sake of his health and
for private reasons; that DIR. Herran is
charge daffaires ad interim and that he
has been empowered oy the minister to
conduct further negotiations of the final
treaty. This statement does not change
the expectation here that in the end DR..
Herran is to be made minister.
