A large number of northern and
western farmers are hocking into the
rice belt, says the Abbeville Herald.
People do not realize what great
boom the rice belt is now having. 1t
will soon be the most thickly popula-
ted section of the south. AL of the
prairie land not now developed to the
culture of rice is rapidly being divided
into $50 acre farms. There is more
money in raising rice than in raising
corn and wheat out west and the work
is easier. The inviting feature in the
rice growing business is that it is q
sure crop. Irrigation insures crop
every year with scarcely the element of
doubt entering the proposition.
Another great source of wealth to
this section is the valuable minerals
that underlie the soil. In the rice
belt it has been proved that the oil de-
posit is superior to that at Beaumont.
The sugar planters and rice mill own
ers are now fully alive to the impor-
tance of oil as fuel, and those who
have not already installed the neces-
sary machinery TO burn oil are doing
so as rapidly as possible. 1t is no
trouble to place contracts for fuel oil
as the planters and rice mill people
are asking for them right along.
Another important mineral that will
soon be counted among Louisiana s
most valuable assets is sulphur. The
sulphur deposits of southwest Louisi-
ana are known to be more extensive
than those of famed Sicily and yet the
confines of the immense deposits are
not known. A pessimist of the most
pronounced type could not be able to
say anything worse than that Louisi-
ana has a future before it equal to the
most brilliant attachments of any
other state in the Union.
The class of people that are settling
in the rice belt is of the best citizen
ship the United States produces. The
farmers that are flocking in to build up
this portion are home-makers. They
come to stay, and raise their families
here. They will be large consumers
of all the best merchandise known.
They will, besides creating immense
wealth, also consume immense amounts
of product, the sale ofwhich will make
other people rich.

UNJUST CRITICISM.

The Tucson Star finds objection 10 the apportiOnment Of delegates, as pro yided in the statehood bill for Arizona. to the convention which shall prepare a constitution for the new state. We fail to see any just cause for criti- cising Delegate Smith because of this apportionment. It is on the basis nf the present apportionment of members of the Arizona legislature, which has stood unchanged for ten years. Each county is to have the same number ol delegates to the constitutional conven- ton as it is entitled to members of the , legislature; for instance, Cochise coun- ty has one councilman and three mem bers of the assembly, and, therefore,
 will be entitled to four delegates in the
 constitutional convention. If this rep
 resentation is not in accordance with
 the population of the counties it Is nc fault of Delegate Smith, but the fault Tiff any, lies with the legislature that have allowed an unjust appOruonmen' Ito remain unchanged for ten years Delegate Smith could not be expected Ito arbitrarily fix the representation o
 the several counties in the constitu
 tional convention. Had he attempted
 to do so he would have laid himsel ilaSle to just criticism. Pima count! , is no worse hurt than the other larg' counties, and we can see no reasol , for the position taken by the Star.

St. Louis Republic: Senator Du. bois's demonstration that the reteu- ton of the Philippines will serve mere ly to further enrich a few American multi ti-millionaires at the sore cost of the American people in itself accounts for the republican party's determiua- ton to hold the Philippines. 1t also explains the present unamericanism of the republican party. of which repubfi can Senator Hoar, the conscience of the senate" complains so bitterly. The republican party is owned and coa- trolled by the syndicates which viii profit from exploiting the Philippines These syndicates command that the Philippines be held for exploitation. The fact that this necessitates viola Iion of the American constitution. re pudiation of the Declaration of inde- pendence, d surrender of the principles upon which this governmnt is founded cuts no figure with the syndicates. They are out for the stuff.

 PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN.

In Chicago last wek w. J. Bryan and Mayor Johnson, of Cleveland, Ohio, met and held a conference. Nothing was given out concerning the subject under consideration by these two dis. tinguished democrats, but their meet ing attracted the attention of the Chi, cago press, and it is claimed that it should be regarded by democrats as the incident says: Mir. Johnson has rot been conspicuous as a prsidential possibility in the past, but this is rath- CT in his favor than otherwise. In sev- eral important particulars he has claims which might not be found lack ing in weight two years hence He Is a man of wealth, but he IS famed for his liberal views respecting the rights and privileges of that very large part of the public which is not wealthy. Re gently he retired from active business in order that he might give his time to politics and to his work as mayor of Cleveland. He belongs to the modern economic school, which leans towards public ownership of municipal utilities, and he was never more active in build ing street car lines and steel plants than he has been in getting 3-ceut fares and public control of street rail ways He has convictions in great num- Der and acute in form. Although at the heau of heavily protected indus try, he was a pronounced free-tradcr and he has advocated the single tax theory with great unction. He has a we'll developed bump of pugnacity and upon his second election to congress he fought his way to victory under con ditions, which. owing to the re-districc ing arrangements of the republicans apparently made his defeat certain It is on the record that he held the admiration Of two such disimilar per sons as Calvin Brice and Mark Hanna although the assessed valuation ol Hanna's street railways was raised from $500, 900 to more than s6,000, ,o0, through Mayor Johnson's efforts.
 When the race for the democrati nomination begins no on need be sur prised if the short but the powerful form of the mayor of Cleveland loom up somewhere among leaders and re veals remarkable capacity for speed With the trusts for an issue and Tom Johnson for a candidate the democrs cy would be likely to invest the can paign of 1904 with interest, at a
 events.
