WITH THE LOUISIANA EDITOR.

The People: The glad tidings have come that
Congress has adjourned.
Caldwell Waterman: Prohibition will always
prohibit if the people determine to that it does.
Caldwell Waterman: The law is powerless, un-
less healthy public sentiment backs its enforce
ment.
Crowley Signal: Don't be calamity bowler.
There's nothing in it for you even if your predic-
tons do come true.
Well said by the Dodson Times: s'Every time

business just that much.''

Lake Charles Press: Let us not wrap ourselves
in mantle of selfishness and take interests in
what is going on aroud us. We it to ourselves,
if not to our neighbors, to be of and part of our
world, and identify ourselves with our fellows. The
higher religion is mutual helpfulness and it is the
magic key to satisfactory living.
This is the way editor McCalahan of the Mans
field Journal views it: Manufactures and other
local industries good things for the towns, but
what Louisiana most needs is farmers bona fide
tllers of the SOIL The man who comes to the State
and buys tract of land for the purpose of holding
it until prices are advanced is of no use to the
the country Men are needed who will develop the
land they buy-the with the hoe, if you please,
who will produce something. In this way the towns
as we'll the country districts are benefited. One
farmer who will cultivate twenty or thirty of
land, supporting his family thereon, is worth more
to the community than any number of Spectators.
The following paragraph is from the level-headed
editor of the Winfield Sentinel: "Seldom day
passes that big deal in Louisiana real estate
is not made, some eastern or northern capitalist

will have none of thisland. tits increasing in value

4 GOOD SELECTION.

The managers have done we'll in placing Captain
H. c. Rogers, of Shreveport, in charge of the Lou
isiana building at the Exposition at st. Louis. He
is one of the most capable men in the State, and
will faithfully discharge his duty. No better seec-
ton could be made than him. We most heartily
endorse him for the position. Says the Shreveport
Times:
Captain Rogers many friends rejoice in the
fact that he is placed in charge of the Louisiana
building at the Exposition-the historic Cabildo.
AS Superintendent, Capt. Rogers, with his genial,
cordial manners, will please the vast crowds who
will be interested in the famed building. Captain
Rogers is true born Kentuckan, loyal to the core,
but by his long residence in proud old Louisiana he
has learned to love her as if she were his native
State.'
