The New York Sun presents
the following view of the national
political situation: 1T is FORUM
ate for the republicans if it be
true that they are beginning to
recognize the necessity of trying
to parry the attacks that lately
have been made on the president
by democratic members of con-
gress. SO vigorous, so shrewd
and so concerted have been the
assaults that it is evident that
the democratic leaders intend to
make Mr.. ROOSevelt'S fitness for
the office of chief magistrate a
conspicuous. if not the main
issue in the coming campaign.
That this plan of operation had
been resolved upon was first
disclosed in the house of repre-
when, in the course
OF a debate on the sundry civil
bill, James r. Williams of Hi
nOis, himself a candidate for the
presidency, declared that if he
called upon to select an
.sSue upon which all democrats
could unite, he would formulate
t in four words, tO-wit: 'Roose-
Ielt must be defeated. "-BatOn

RICE COMBINE.
Third Conference Held at Beau-
mont. The Organization is a
GO.

Crowley Daily News. April p.
The third conference of the
rice mlllerS of Louisiana and
Texas is at an end and the com
bine is Il go. Most of the neces.
sarv capital stock has been sub
Scribed and assurance has been
given that the rest will be raised
within a short time. Just what
share John w. Gates will be al
lowed to take out has not been
decided on and there is cOnsid-
cradle conjecture on this matter
among the uninitiated. 1t is re-
ported from some quarters that
he will not be allowed to pur-
chase enough stock to allow him
to pool with one or two others
and secure control of the com
bine, but will be limited to a per-
centage on his holdings in the
Port Arthur mill and canal
interests. This question, how
ever, is to be decided by a COM
mittee appointed to arrange the
organization and their decision
will be announced later.
The name of the new cOrpOr-
alton will be the American Rice
Distributing Company, Limited,
and it will be chartered under
the laws of Louisiana. The
capital stock is fixed at $780,
300. The purpose as has been
announced before is to buy and
sell clean rice and place it on the
market at a price equitable to
Doth producer and consumer,
)y this means increasing the
demand for the cereal and in
the planter a living wage
or his industry.

CHANGE THE SYSTEM.

AZ UIle OOOu ROADS
held at the courthouse Saturday
a full explanation of the present
method of working the public
roads was given with the results
obtained. The system has some
good points; but there are two
objectionable features, which
should be carefully considered.
One is that in delegating to each
: member complete power to act
in regard to his ward. the Jury
as a body surrenders its super
vlsOry control over the roads of
the parish and leaves no supreme
authority. Best results, whether
IN private OF public affairs, can
not follow when a responsible
head is lacking: and in this par
tlcular instance the fact. that in
some wards the roads are ex-
cellent. while in others they are
~lndlfferent, proves it. For with
one supreme head certainly the
roads in each ward should fairly
average with those in every
other ward.
Another objection is the en-
trusting to each member full
control of the woodworking in
his ward, particularly and
specially because it can never be
expected that any nine men will
ever be elected. all of whom will
give the same care and attention
to the roads in their wards. It
has not been so in the past and
will hardly be so in the future.
1t Is neither right nor just that
with practically the same amount
OF funds that n ward should
have good roads and another
poor ones, and the Police jury
as a body can not relieve them
selves of the responsibility of
bad roads, no matter what ward
they happen to be in, by alleging
that anyone Juror has failed to
do his duty.
The principal reason offered
IN defense of the present system
was on the score of economy.
and 1T is a good reason, provided
every member of the jury were
a position to give the neces-
sary time and thought to super

One Of the most eccentric characters

near Eldora, and known to railroad
men in the west as Dom Pedro"
For years he had roamed or the
United States and gained a livelihood
by singing comic songs, dancing and
working at odd jobs, He was born
in London, Sept -, 1916, and served
in the civil war in the Fourth Wiscon-
sin cavalry.
He had been resident of Big
Patch, Grant county, Wis, for several
years. He never married, and, being
of a rowing disposition, went into the
service. Captain Michael Misner was
at the head Of his company, and in a
battle in which the Fourth Wisconsin
was engaged Bourner, with othermem-
bers of the company, was taken prls-
oner on the gunboat Gazelle. This
boat exploded down on the Red River

A MOUNTAIN OF SALT.

cardona, Spain, in No Danger Of a
Scarcity Of the condIment.
The mountain possesses, however.
one formidable foe, who slowly but re-
lentlessly gnaws It from the inside.
Scattered about in the mountain are
tiny openngs-"monkey holes" they
are locally styled-and from out Of
each Of these comes riyulet. so tiny
that II seems pOwerless to do harm.
But little by little those subterranean
springs drill their way through the en-
tire thickness Of the mountain, digging
out long tunnels, into which the WISH
tor may enter II he be so inclined.
The guide accompanying him will be-
gin by warning him that 1t is prudent
for him to make his will ere doing 50.
since, owing TO the work of the de-
structive streams, continual salt slides
occur in the narrow channels. Great
blocks of salt are liable at any time to
crash down upon the explorer, crush
ing him like fy-the sound Of ones
voice, the weight Of ones body on the
soil being sufficient to detach them
from the roof. Let the visitor, how
ever, proceed a few steps further;
from the ceiling depend stalactites of
salt of immaculate whiteness. to all
appearance chandeliers; the streamlet
seems to flow along a crystal bed, and
the drop Of water hanging from a
sharp point of each stalactite scintil-
lates like diamond by candlelight.
Suddenly the guide pulls you back,
calling your attention to a feeble
sound akin to that emitted by q
squeezed sponge; 1t is hardly percep-
tible TO the ear, and yet, It sounds
a warning Of an eminent salt slide,
and it becomes imperative to retrace
ones steps without having been able
TO penetrate further into the fairy
like interior Of the mountain.
The mountain of Cardona being pri-
vate property, three or four gorgeously
uniformed keepers are intrusted with
the duty Of seeing that the inhabi.
tants Of the surrounding country do
not come and help themselves to salt.
1t is, however, an easy matter to take
away a crystalline fragment by way OF
memento. So limpid is the substance
that spectacle glasses can be made out
Of the more transparent pieces. The
men employed at the salt works turn
out crosses, rosaries, goblets and bot
ties, which they sell to tourists for a
few pesetas,-Philadelphia Ledger.

FIRST SIGHT OF A MANATEE.
Strange Sea Monster Seen Of the
Florida Coast.

Strange Sea Monster Seen OF the
Florida Coast.
A sight that is getting more and
more rare now is that of manatee
or sea cow-the wonderful mammal
that lives exclusively in the water like
a fish, and that has furnished the foun-
dalton of many a mermaid story by
thrusting its head and shoulders out
of the ocean near shore just in time
to let a startled crew see it.
Il shall never forget the scare | got
at the first sight of a manatee," said
John Mansfield, the angler twas last
| year in the Indian river in Florida. My
boat was anchored near a bank OF
grasses and | was lolling in the stern,
looking idly down into the water and
thinking OF anything except sea mon
ster, when suddenly a vast form made
me pull my head back instinctively
The thing was so dark that 1t
looked almost black. II was shaped
like a huge, thick carrot, only instead
Of the thin tail of carrot 1t had
broad, fiat tail exactly like that Of
! lobster.
1T came along smoothly and silent
ly, gliding close along the bottom,
and at first | couldn't see any head
at all. 1t looked weird, and couldn't
imagine what 1t was.
Suddenly it bent that big lobster
tail backward, doubled it beneath it.
self, and instantly its progress stopped
as IL 1t had put on brakes.
THE next moment the thing was
apparently standing straight up on
end. Then saw two bony things like
arms shoot out from the upper part OF
its body and the. thing began to bob
back and forth like a very clumsy
person trying to make funny little
bows.
Then | realized that what ! was
looking at was manatee, or sea COW,
and that 1t was in the act OF feeding,
A big bunch of river grass grew just
where it had stopped and it was TAX
ing 1t down In great mouthfuls,
Il now saw that 1t had head, sure
enough although 1t was a most abb
surdly small head, looking like lit
tie cord in a big, fat bottle. But the
most remarkable thing about the head
was the mouth.
"The lower jaw was all right, II
was like that Of seal. But the up
per jaw was split vertically so that 1t
opened like the upper lip of rabbit.
1t was a true hare lip, only 1t was
about 40 times as big as the worst
hare lip that ever was on dry land
with the queer upper lip the mana
tee seized the big wisps of river grass,
and handled them as an elephant
would handle hay with his trunk.
Then the lower jaw would shoot out
and yanll it into the cavernous mouth.
It was a great sight-the funny mouth,
the tiny head, the huge body, twice as
big around as that of a man, and about
as long; the rough hide, the tiny flip
pers and the lobster tail-a veritable
cross between a COW and a seal, and n
fish and a waterbug, Washington
