That the President Ct the United
States, no matter who he may be,
will always be treated here with pro-
found respect is certain, but Mr..
Roosevelt, to merit the full appro-
baton and the genuine admiration
accorded to President Mckinley on
the occasion Of his visit here, must
manifest something of the generously,
impartial and conspicuous broadmind-
edness and unsectional American pa
triotism which characterized his great
predecessor. Mr.. Warmoth measures
his hero from the standpoint of per-
sonally interested politician and part
ism.
The great body of the people OF this
State will want to see in the visitor
one who is the Chief Magistrate of
the entire republic, without regard on
the States that supported him or
those that opposed his election, and
ignoring at all geographical limita-
tions. President Roosevelt, when he
comes, will be received with the ut
most respect and hOspitability. En-
thusiasn and admiration and love will
be conditioned on his official deport
ment towards others. -Picayune

CROP NOTES.

A glance over the Parish this week
shows us to be about as busy people
as anyone would wish to see. The
unprecedented yield of our crops have
made our Parish veritable bee hive.
A visit to any of our sugar factories
will present scence of the greatest
activity, for example take Morbihan
Factory, cane is being received by
carts. long fleets of barges are being
towed in the Bayou TO this place rail
road trains of sugar cane constantly
arriving. The Southern Pacific's
steamers delivering and receiving
freights of material and sugars and
molasses, the scores Of well paid EN-
ployees, the roar and buzz of the
mammoth machinery. make a scene
that strikes the new conner as extreme
ly busy. No other place in the United
States can present such scene of
prosperity as this beautiful Teche
country at this season of the year and
with an Incompatible climate, where
men are working every day in the
year with comfort and profit, all this
appeals to the new conner and he gets
the desire TO jump III and BE one of
the prosperous crowd. No place ON
this round earth does the farmer have
a better chance for q living than here, |
our variety of crops, fertile soil, which |
needs no fertilizer, our various means |
of transportation by water and rail,
our nearness TO the great markets, |
combine to make our land and earthly
paradise open to all.

INVITING PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT.

The Progressive Union of New Or
leans, body composed of citizens
banded together solely to advance the
commercial, Industrial and other ma
terial interests of the city without re-
gard to party politics, is said to be en-
gagged in movement to secure a visit
by President Roosevelt 10 this city at
an early day
Ex-Governor Warmoth, who has
been, ever since there was Republic
can Party in Louisiana, its head and
front, is reported elsewhere INF this
mornings Picayune as among the
foremost in urging the visit of the
President and in promising for him q
most enthusiastic reception. He said
in the course Of remarks given else
where:
Towering physically and mentally
above all Others President Roosevelt
stands the highest type of American
manhood That he has enemies is
granted That he has millions Of
friends and admirers and supporters
is more than amply proven by his re-
cent overwhelming victory at the
polls, where he received q far larger |
vote than was ever given to presi-
Dental candidate. Those people in |
this and in other Southern States who
are opposed to him only because they
don I know the man, because they
don't know the principles and doc
trines for which he stands, principles
aud doctrines that work not for the
Republican Party, but for the welfare
and upbuilding of the whole nation.
1t is not likely that Mr.. Roosevelt,
should he accept this invitation, will
do so before the assembling Of Con-
gress next month, and probably not
before the adiourning at Congress ON
March 4. In spite of he fact that
Mr.. warmotl. in a speech at the din
ner to Judge Taft ON Saturday even-
mr.. said that nobody pays any atten- K
ion to the New Orleans newspapers.

DANGER TO THE DEMOCRATIC
PARTY.

Hon. Jared Y. Sanders, lieutenant
governor of the State, believes the
time has come in Louisiana politics
when the Legislature should pass a
primary election law for the selection
of all officers, form United States SEN
ator and governor down to ward con-
stable.
! He believes the time has come when
/ the governor should be stripped of
practically all appointive powers and
that the legislature of 1906 should
pass laws making the appointive Off
ces elective
Should sucIl measures not be passed
by democratic legislature to protect
itself and safeguard its own interests
in preserving its integrity, the lieu
tenant governor fears formidable re-
publican party may be built up in
this State. His interview will be
read with unusual interest all over
the State because, while it does not
go to all the subjects in detail. it
hints ut some of the most fruitful les
SONS of the recent independent upris-
ing in New Orleans and suggests the
remedy. Mr.. Sanders says:
''It has been demonstrated that |
since the adoption of the Constitution
in 1898 that the democratic party is in
and undisputed control of
every parish of the state.
I think that anyone who reads the
returns of the recent elections is bound
to admit that the democratic party
has nothing to fear from any enemies
that it has, or may have, outside of
;he party. Any danger, therefore,
hat threatens the party in the future,
must come from within the party,
md must come from those who are
low democrats. I,
81 think that the cardinal principle
f the democracy nationally and To-
ally, can be embraced in one idea
quality Of opportunity. Applying Z
his to our own state. ! am of the {
piniou that the best thought Of the
be towards strengthening
he hold that our party now has upon
he mind and heart Of the citisenshipI
Louisiana. In my opinion this
an best be done by saying to the state
,st what the people Of the state have
, long said to the party. For years
nd years the people. by their vote,
ave declared the fact that they put
leir trust in the party and now it
oks to me that the party, splendidly
iumphant al over the state, should
y that in all matters il puts it's trust
the people.
There IL no opposition party in
and there can be none II
Q people themselves. by direct prim-
y. nominate their candidates. II
ink that when the Legislature meets
May, 1906, that one of the best =
ings it can do for the party and the |
Ute is to sea to it that provision |
made that in all future elections
. democratic masses OF Louisiana,
direct primary, express their choice
: every officer in the state. from
lifted States senator and governor to
,stable. This, in my opinion, will
destroy tho danger Of m
position party making amy head

NEGRO TURNING WHITE.

slowly but surely turning white In
the last eight years little less than
one half his skin has changed from q
dark chocolate to a milk white color,
with here and there a delicate pink
hue, says the Ohio State journal
| The white parts are perfectly smooth !;
they retain the light hairy growth
which covered them from his youth.
and show absolutely no difference ex-
cept in color from his normal skin.
A few light specks appeared at first
on his chest and hands, but increased
in number and grew, extending into
one another, until at the same rate
nothing will remain after few wears
to suggest the negro, except his fea-
lures and wool.
Grisham, who, by the way is "a
years old, says that he has not fully
made up his mind whether he would
like to be white or black.
"Ah, s'pose. though he CON
tinued dat I'd bettah stay black.
cause dat's de way de good Lawd
made me. -
He prefers the quietude of his home
at 376 Donaldson street, to the excite
ment of circus life, and therefore has
refused offers to exhibit himself from
Sells and from Ringing Brothers.
His case was the first of its kind to
be brought to the attention of the
Ohio Medical University. Suffering
from throat trouble, he applied the
institution for treatment, but before
the patient was allowed to depart
every inch of his skin was subjected |
to a critical examination by the as
tonished students and the faculty.
His condition was found to be the re-
suit of leukodierma.
Medical science has, so far, been
unable to establish the causes of this
disease or to discover remedy for it.
Placed under q miscroscope, the skin
shows no other defect than the COM
olete absence of the pigmentary SUBJ
tance which imparts the various
hades and different colors to the races
# the world. The first specks often ,
ollow q fracture or other injury to a
lerye; in one case, they developed
rom the pressure of collar button,
nd in another from the scars caused
y burning off warts.
The disease is not contagious or

THE FRUIT OF MAMMoN WORSHIP.

Ex-Mayor S. F. Smith, of Davenport, Iowa, was
sentenced the other day to 10 years imprisonment
in the penitentiary for embezzlement, and one for
perjury He acknowledged the embezzlement Of
$4,000 while trustee of large estates.
Mr. Smith was the son Of Rev. DR.. Samuel F.
Smith, the author of ''NIy Country Tis Of Thee, y
which has been sung by every American capable
of singing, and noble old man and preacher of
the Baptist faith. This is only one out of multi
tudinous eases which show how little effect heredi
tary influence has, says the Tacoma Ledger. Great
men do not produce great sons, and good men are
no more likely to produce good children. The mann
factor IN most mems lives is environment Here
and there men are found who stand firm and true,
no matter what happens, and these men are the
salt of the earth But it is to be feared that most
men are sadly amenabAs to their environment In
an environment where mammon worship is general,
and one is regarded as heterodox and decidedly off
color, if he does not worship at that shrine, one
must expect nothing except these sad laHes from
the purity of the moral law.
Mr.. Smith will receive his punishment But he
is more to be pitied that censured The men who
ought to suffer for his crime are the men who have
made, and are continuing to make honesty a hard
law to follow.

THE WAR COST.

In Germany there is good deal of grumbling
over the fact that the imperial government, which
has never had real war, has managed to pile up
for military and naval armament debt of $780,
100000 As Edmund Burke said, the public is
always poor" In Germany the masses are particu
larIy poor-and this imperial debt, plus the enor-
nous state debts, also for wars past and wars an.
ticipated plus the annual cost of army and navy
to the empire and its states explain why they are
so poor says the Saturday Evening Post
But what would the Germans think if they
knew about us? Isolated though we are, we spend
more than Germany or any other state upon oul
war establishment $200,000,0O0 a year
also, we pay $15OOOO0OO year in pensions, and
the interest on our public debt, wholly wise debt
is nearly $30,000,0OO year. OF the eighteen bill
lions our national administration has spent sine,
it was set up in 1885, just under eleven billions hav
gone for war and pensions.
| The military and naval establishments of civil
zation directly withdraw between three and fouI
million men from production, and cost upward o.
81, 500, 100000 a year. This makes no account Of
the largest items-the costly agitatons and only
too frequent calamities caused by the habit states
men and rules have of shaking their "mailed fist
at each other.

the San Francisco Bulletin says;
The total vote cast at the presidential election

Political leaders who recall the campaign Of
torn by dissenson can hardly understand the pres,

asm that causes every partisan to look on the op-

close fills them with wonder. Republicans declare
that the calmness is all owing to general satisfac
ton with the administration, Democrats attribute
it to thoughtful dissatisfaction that will find ex

no matter the reason, conservative people have no
fault to find with the condition. They are happy
to note the fact that the canvass is almost over,
and there is no sign of the usual campaign fever.
