covered in Calcasieu parish, and is
doing considerable damage to the
cotton crop in the section infested.
The presense and identity of the
weevil has been fully established
by Mr.. Buckner of the State Uni

on behalf Of the Cotton Pest Com
mission of Louisiana. Mr.. T. j.
Carroll of Calcasieu said: "We
had the boil weevil last year; of
that l feel assured, but we could
not get the anti-boll weevil army to
realize it. However, Mr.. Buckner
is now convinced that we have the
genuine article" Steps will be
taken Immediately to prevent the
spread of the pest to other sections

The Untrustworthy People.
Harlequin.

1t might be just as we'll for poll
tical freebooters and pets to pre-
pare to answer such argument as
the following. for it is obvious that
such argument is taking unshaka-
BILE root in the public mind.
Says the "official journal" The
Advocate:
"We favor the separation of the
Offices of assessor and registrar,
especially if the curtaiIment craze
is to include the former in its ope-
rations.
T"Curtailment Crazer' Dear
Sammy: How many jobs does he
hold now?1
"But our arguments and objec-
tions will be largely answered by
the separation of these two Offices.
1t would never, never do to make
the registrar of voters elective"
To theswhich Gen. Jastremski,
recent head of movement to demo-
cratize Louisiana, replies:
why not, pray? Since when
have the people of this state be-
come incompetent to elect their
parish registrars of voters, wheth-
er their functions are separated or
combined with the assessor or any
other parish officer? Why should
a registrar.of voters elected by the
people and responsible to them, be
less apt to perform his duties as
the law directs and according to
the obligations of his oath of Of
fee, than one appointed by the
governor? If it be true that the
people of. Louisiana cannot be
trusted to elect their assessors, re-
gistrars of voters. school boards,
etc., as of yore. then come out
squarely aud tell them so. Under
vari ous pretexts which have served
their day, it must be confessed
that this people have, put up for a
lot of years longer than they
should have done, with a species
of dictature in government which
has no example in North Ameri-
can history. They have simply
been fooled, as all peoples have
been at times. We all know what
Lincoln said about fooling the
people. That it couldn't be done
all the time, and it looks as if the
time has come to stop it.
Take heed that you aud the likes
of you are prepared to answer this
proposition, roseste Sammy
