Mike always had on hand three or four
horses of inconceivable sloWness ana I'M

there was an ever recurring inability TO pay

Let Us Be Up And Doing.

At the present time there is an
unusual and increasing demand for
farm lands in all parts of the coun-
try. Europe Is again pouring into
this country tremendous influx of
immigrants and our population is
fast climbing up to marvellous figures.
Looking back fifty years, it only
seems as if it were short time and
We can see what has been done in
that time. Looking ahead fifty
years is not as easy. Who would
dare 10 prophesy the greatness of
this country as it shall then really
be2 One hundred and fifty millions
of people-at the very least-will
then inhabit this fair land. We
shall be up against the same diff.
culties which for 90 long, have con.
fronted the countries of the old
world. What shall be done to pro.
vide for the wants and whims of the
surplus population? They will all
want the Decessaries of life then as
We d. now and that will mean an
amount Of business so great that if
any one should dare to predict to-day
in round figures just what that trade
will amount to in the year 1852 they
would be considered fit for an insane
asylum.
The paramount question for US is,
how much Of the trade will Louis.
lana receiver 1t all depends on Lou
isiana. 1t behooves Us, as we love
our posterity, to lay the foundations
broad and deep for their prosperity

The time is short at hand when
our town will be filed with q large
number of hoboes, both negro and
white, among this class are some
of the toughest characters in the
country. They are drawn here by
the mild climate during the winter
season and also by the large num-
Der of sugar houses in operation.
These people should not be left
loafing on the streets and living
on the charitably inclined citizens
and what they can steal, but be
made to work or leave town. No
able bodied man has any good ex.
cuse for laying around doing moth
ing when the demand for labor is
20 great as at present and at good
prices. Every town should attend
to these "weary willies" and make
them either 60 to work or keep on
. moving.

LET US HAVE A PRIMARY.

In another column OF this issue
we publish the proceedings of the
Second Railroad Commission Dis
trict Democratic Committee, held at
Baton Rouge on August 14th. As
will be seen by the substitute reso.
luton offered by Attorney General
Walter Guion the committee has
ordered a convention of delegates to
be selected by the Democratic party
in the several parishes composed OF
the Second Railroad Commission
District to be held in Baton Rouge,
on the 23rd day of September, at
IL O'Clock M, for the purpose OF
nominating a candidate to be voted
for at the November election as rail-
road commissioner. The delegates to
the said convention to be selected in
such a manner and at such time as
NAV be ordered by the Democratic
Parish Committees. The basis OF
representation to be one delegate for
each $500 population and one for
each fraction exceeding half.
A previous resolution was offered
by DR.. Barrow calling for white
Democratic primary to nominate
railroad commissioner but on account
of the already numerous primaries
ordered throughout the district the
committee thought it best to accept
the substitute resolution of Mr..
Guion ordering convention. The
committee does not wish to convey
the idea that there is any opposition
to white Democratic primary.
The Parish Executive Committee
of St. Mary will be called together
at an early date and the matter OF
selecting delegates will be taken up
and other important business dis.
cussed.
The BANNER is and always has
been in favor of white primaries
for all parochial Offices, and hope
to see St. Mary follow the exam
pie of the several parishes of the
State who have already ordered
white Democratic primaries. Under
the State law of 1900 primary no.
minsting elections are surrounded
BY the same restraints and guaran-
tees Of law that are given to regular
elections and any violation of those
restraints and safeguards subjects
the perpetrator to serious pains and
penalties and We would like to see
this primary law given a fair trial.
We are sure it will not fail to secure
the support of all good Democrats in
the State. Some argue that prim-
ary elections are too expensive, this
is wrong, they can be conducted with
as little expense as any other meth
DDS of nomination. Surely the
Democratic party has enough loyal
supporters within its rank who are
willing TO serve as commissioners and
clerks of election, without costs; the
other expenses are comparatively
small. Let US have q primary for
delegates to the Railroad Commits.
