B. A. Fowler, late candidate for congress in Arizona, is this week at. tending the irrigation congress in Fl Paso. This reminds us of what one of the speakers said of Mr, Fowler during the csmpaign: Irrigation is She business of Mir, Fowler. He will follow that business, just as other business men follow the line of busi. ness for which they have received train ing and formed liking. The defeat Of MT. Fowler will not turn him from irrigation and itso pursuits. be. cause that is his business. If you would defeat merchant for office that would not mean that be wop1d quit keeping store. You are sure of all of Mir. Fow1er's help in all feasible propositions for irrigation in Arizona. Now elect Mark Smith and you will have an able assistant to MT. Fowler in his irrigation work for Arizona." The appearance of MT. Fowler at Fl Psso shows that the speaker was right and knew exactly what he was talking about.

The Democratic National Con
ventiOn meets to-day in st. LOUIS
to select a standard bearer for
the party. The friends of Judge
Parker who have so persistently
doomed him for the nomination
profess to be confident of his
selection, but indications point
to the choice of a dark horse"
some one upon whom all wings
of the party can unite. 1t is
believed that with the right man
the Democrats can succeed, as
a large part of the business in
terests are afraid OF Roosevelt
and would support a conserva-
tive man. The Democrats will
endeavor to put up just such a
man, but his name will hardly
be Parker.

Sowing the Seeds of Strife

Sowing the Seeds of Strife
New Orleans States, June 30.
A considerable number of in
dependent newspapers in the
North are telling the people of
the South that there is no &C.
casiOn for them to take the negro
plank in the Republican platform
seriously; that the Republican
leaders have no intention what
ever of doing anything about the
denial of the franchise to ignorant
negroes in the South. and the
platform declaration was meant
merely to hold in line for Roose-
welt the colOred vote in those
Northern and Western States
where in closely contested cleo
tons it has the balance of power.
Very few even of the Republi-
can papers believe that the dec
laration was made in good faith,
because they are confronted by
the fact that the determinations
referred to in the platform of
their party have been going on
for many years, and that the Re-
publicans at any time during
those years could have ordered
the Congressional Investigation
that is talked of now. The In
dianapolis News remarks that

New Orleans States. July ;.
On Thursday of the present
week the General Assembly OF
Louisiana will close the first ses.
sion of the incumbent body. In
May, 1906, two years hence, it
will hold another session which.
unless necessity should arise for
an extra session to be called to-
gether by the Governor of the
State. will be the closing session
OF the present body. Nearly
sixty days have been spent in the
work of Legislation and during
that period a number of laws
have been enacted to be written
into the Statutes of the State
some good, others Indifferent.
and possibly some of them bad.
-Four working days yet remain
and the calendar of both houses
is still crowded with bills in the
various stages of progress, some
OF which will pass, others will be
killed by the two houses. and
still others perhaps by the exc
cutive veto. So many bills re-
main yet to be acted upon finally
that an appraisement of the full
achievements of the session of
1904 could not intelligently be
made at this time. On the whole
it has seemed that the present
General Assembly is above the
average in the point of intelli-
gence and ability, notwithstand.
ing the fact that in the House, at
least, the number of young mem
bers without political or legisla.
tive experience, is strikingly
large. These young men are for
the most part bright, intelligent
and jealous, and they have made
things decidedly interesting dur
ing a part of the session. They
constitute. in large degree, the
budding craftsmanship of Loui-
siana. and in the ranks of the
present assembly will probably
be found some who will be prom
inent in the future public affairs
of the State.

body of legislators, and it is

The Joint high committee of

the matter for two years.

if the State has ever had a Sen
ate composed of stronger men.
The position of a member in
either house of the General AS
sembly is not an easy one to fill.
In the first place, the financial re-
cOmpense is insignificant. being
barely sufficient to pay his ne
cessary expenses while attending
to his official duties-nOt to men
ton the time taken away from
ones business and the loss of
business incident thereto. Then
there are so many measures in
PRODUCED from so many different
sources, and dealing with so
many questions that it is a phys
ical impOssibility for any one
person to give intelligent consi-
Iteration to them all. On a great
many such questions the legisla-
tor must vote with but scant
knowledge of the subject voted
upon, and under such circum-
stances mistakes are unavOida-
bic.
On the whole we believe the
General Assembly has done well
during the time it has been in
session. It has enacted some
measures the wisdom of which
the State has doubted, and it has
passed a number of measures
which are unquestionably proper
and wise. We have felt that on
several occasions, in the House
especially there has been a sur
felt of speech-making, a great
part of which seems to the
States to have been, as the tar
heel legislator tersely expressed
it, for BuncOmbe County," but
there has been a good deal of
conscientious work which will re-
to the welfare of the State.
The value of the work performed
Dy a legislature must be cOnsi-
lered as much from the stand
point of measures defeated as
those enacted into law; for often
the most valuable single act done
S the defeat of a dangerous or
bill. In both these re-
spects the present Legislative SEES
sion has done well and while it
las passed measures that had
been defeated; it has also
passed some good laws and
Killed some bills that, enacted in
% law, would have been bad.
III the whole, it has been a fairly
representative and respectable
and its work impartially
nd honestly appraised by the
people of the State, will receive
more appreciation than censure.

The South is not unmindful of
this fact. 1t also knows that the
negro plank in the Republican
platform was nothing more than
a sop to hold the negro vote in
the doubtful States in the North.

what has aroused it's resentment

The Outlook For the Crops

IN peace.
The Outlook For the Crops
P~icayune.
The time is now at hand when
the promise of the crops for the
coming harvest season is suf-
ticiently determined to warrant
advance preparations based upon
existing conditions. While
many things may yet happen to
mar the outlook, present indica-
tons certainly warrant the ex-
pectatiOn of bOuntiful crops for
this section.
The weather recently has been
ideal for cotton. There has been
ample, without superintendent
moisture, and the temperature
has been high, a combination
calculated to promote the rapid
growth of the cotton plant. OF
course, reports are not uniform
ly favorable, something that is
practically impossible, owing to
the immense area covered by the
Cotton Belt and the variations in
climate existing.
The Government will issue on
Tuesday next. July ), it's usual
report. showing the condition of
the cotton crop at the close of
June. It is expected that the
report will indicate a very good
progress and the promise of a
large yield. 1t must be remem-
bered that acreage has been con-
siderably increased during the
past two years, and the average
of condition given by the Govern
ment must be considered in con-
nectiOn with the increased ac-
reage in comparing with the July
reports of previous
years.
The corn and rice crops of
this section have been greatly
by recent rains. Corn
was beginning to suffer, but now
that there has been moisture in
abundance, the condition of the
crop is promising. Rice has
suffered some from the incursiOn
Of salt water into the streams

Through women and women'S clubs

Tennessee a beginning has been made
in the encouragement of native arts,
and the leading newspapers are giving
space to the subject, and highly ex-
tolling the work of the women.
bingham, Mass, has an idealar and
crafts organization. The old town was
formerly noted for the production of
wooden articles for the home and
farm, tubs, buckets, piggins, troughs
and similar articles, and this craft is
one of the principal ones followed
theras'in the present renaissance of
hand work. The dipping of bayberry
wax candles was, and is, another in
dustry made profitable there. Quanti-
ties of bayberries grow on the sandy
barrens around the town, and the ber-
ries, after crushing and steaming, yield
pale green, fragrant wax, from which
the finest of candles are made. They
bring good prices, and there is never
any doubt about their market.

How the Ant Retires

OF course ants go to bed and If you
watch them you may see them do it.
An ant hill, you know, is made of
tiny pebbles, which are piled about
an entrance hole.
At night the ants take these pebbles
in their mouths and, carrying them to
the hole, pile them one upon the other,
as men build wall.
After the hole is filled up, except
one tiny place at the top, the last ant
crawls in and with her head pushes
sand up against the hole from the
inside, thus stopping it up entirely
Then all night not an ant will be seen,
but about o'clock next morning, if
one looks very closely, one may see
pair of tiny feelers thrust out
through the chinks between the
stones: Then an ant pushes its way
out and begins to carry the pebbles
away. Just behind the first comes an
other, and another, until the whole
family comes journeying out. But an
ant does not sleep through the whole
night; she takes nap two o. three
hours long.
She does not have to undress, but
whenever she gets tired she lies down
on the ground, curls her six legs up
to her body and goes to sleep so
soundly that you could brush her with
feather without waking her.
When she has had her sleep out she
gets up, stretches her legs and yawns,
Just as you or. 1 might dc. Then she
washes herself carefully all over.
After that she is ready for her days
work again, and busy day she has,
too-tending the babies, making new
:ooms or getting food for the big
family.

Injurious VeiIss

A German physician has discovered
that the wearing of tight face wells
may easily produce skin troubles. The
nets catch and hold dust and entrap
all general impurities of the air, and
so, unless kept perfectly clean, they
endanger not only the complexion, but
the lungs. The dotted nets of course
cannot be washed, and they should be
discarded after reasonable wear or if
they show any evidence Of soil. Other
wells can be easily cleaned by dipping
them into clear tepid water into which
q few drops of alcohol have been sprin-
killed.. They may be dried by stretching
over a pillow.-Detroit Free Press.

coiled school, the weave of which has
always been a favorite with the best
basket makers in the world, because it
is capable of such a large variation.
The foundation of these baskets is OF
grass and sedge, the cornhusks being
used for padding and to carry out the
design. &c.,.
For instance, to make large scrap
basket the first step is to procure a
pound of manila hemp. Begin the bas-
ket. with the hemp, as the coil is so
small it is difficult to use the stiff,
hard grasses. Sew with raffia, as the
stitches can be made finer. Then pro-
coed to build as the name indicates,
with continuous coil of the grass or
fibre bound completely together with
the familiar stitch of the southwestern
Indians This is done by sewing with
a strong tapestry needle, threaded with
raffia, over the coil and through the
stitch underneath until the top is
reached
When ready to build the sides, take
several strands of grass for founda-
ton and wrap the cornhusk about it;
then sew as already indicated. 1t will
thus be seen that the baskets are really
of grass, the cornhusks being merely
for ornamentation In fact, they can
only be used when wrapped over grass,
for the pieces are too short for any
thing else.
The cornhusk baskets are especially
commendable, as they are handsome,
solid and give wide range of coloring
for yellows, green's, browns, puppies
and reds, which may be woven to suit
the individual taste. The cornhusks
should be gathered now, and great
care taken in selecting good colors and
firm husks. The larger they are the
better, for sometimes one can be split
in several pieces, and used to wrap
coil of grass.-Indianapoli News

Among other things to be cleaned
from John Morley's new Life of Glad
