THE GREAT ORGANIZATION
MODERN WOODMeN OF AMERICA
Hon. A. r. Head of Beilingiiam Deii>
ers MaSterfui Address Before
the Modern Woodmen.

The chief attraction last Saturday in
connection with the annual log rolling
celebration of the NJ. w. A. was the
pleasing address of Hon. A. +. Mead,
who came here by invitation to partici-
pate in the exercises. The speaker has
an impressive manner about him, a res
Onant voice for delivery, and held his
hearers undivided attention throughout
the address.
Mr.. Mead said;
| esteem it great pleasure to have
been extended an invitation through our
worthy deputy head counsel, w. p.
Murphy, to take part in these exercises
of the Modern Woodmen of America l
come not to preach to you why this Or
der was organized, or to detail the diff
ferent chapters of its splendid history,
neither do | come to tell you why it is
entitled to the respect and confidence of
the people. This duty may we'll be
borne by those whose experience and
knowledge make them better fitted for
the task. l do come, however, to re-
joice with you over the splendid stand
ing of this order in this commonwealth
and elsewhere and tender you my CON
graduation on the splendid prospect,
now apparent and for which YOU have
2ealously worked, viz: That when the
roll is called and reports are filed III the
national meeting of this order in 1905
cur membership will have then increas ed
to upwards of million souls. Our
ranks include sterling worthy citizens
OF the Republic marching together
shoulder to shoulder and elbow to elbow
under the banners of this order and
keeping step with the music of its pro-
gress. While we may proudly point to
ready attained, let us remember that
our success has not been achieved by
cultivating a spirit of unfriendly and
envious criticism for other great fra
ternal orders or institutions engaged in
the same lines of work. Those who nave
formed. shaped. fashioned and construct
ed this great editicc, having for its OBJ
lect the betterment and amelioration of
those who enter its portals, have per
formed their work with malice towards
none, with charity for all" for those
kindred bodies having similar objects,
hopes and purposes. Those entitled to
speak Tor this order believe that this
country is big enough and broad enough
Tor the Modern Woodmen Of America to
grow, flourish and expand without be-
lifting the noble efforts of other
lodges or concerns enlisted under diff.
ferent banners. but working for sub
stantially the same results. What is the
idea or vital spirit that had been so ac-
tive during the years that nave elapsed
since the year 1888 when the Modern
Woodmen of America was FIRST organic
ed in extending camps Of this order into
hundreds Of cities and thousands OF
towns, Villages and communities in sew
eral IF the different commonwealth of
our country The question is easily
answered for it IS the same idea and

The BOND ISSUE!

The Shreveport Caucasian says
the proposed million dollar bond
issue has been sugarcoated heavy
with educational gloss to catch the
people, but it is sincerely hoped
that it will be voted down for the
following reasons,
1st-It permits banks to bay
the bonds with the depositors'
money and then secure exemption
from all taxation for either state,
municipal or parochial purposes
and at the same time to draw 80
interest on the same twice q year,
which makes it too costly
2d-the proposed amendment
does not provide how the fund
should be divided, whether accord
ing to the number of educable child
ren, or the amount of taxes paid by
the respective parishes, leaving it
to be divided according to the will
and pleasure of the governor and
his board, leaving the door open
for gross favoritism and oppres-
sion

A MIXING OF THE BABIES.

Here is Cajun story which is
vouched for by a wellknown Creole
literateur:
Some time ago there was a
dancing party given in AvOyeles
the country people gathered from
far and near, most of the ladies
bringing their little babies, whose
noisy perversity required toe
much attention to permit their
mothers to enjoy the dance. Fin
ally a number of gallant city gen
tlemen volunteered to watch over
the young ones while the parents
engaged in a good old-fashioned
breakdown.
No sooner had the women left
the babies in charge of these mis-
chievOus fellows than they set to
work stripping the infants and
changing their clothes, giving the
apparel of one to another. The
dance over, it was time to go home,
and the mothers hurriedly took each
baby in the dress of its own and
started to their homes, some ten
or fifteen miles off, and were far
on their way before daylight. But
the day following there was a tre-
mendous row in the settlement ;
the mothers discovered the physical
phenomena that a single night had
entirely changed the identity OF
their babies; in many cases the
sex of the baby had changed; then
commenced some of the fastest fe-
male pedestrianism ever known in
that section; living miles apart, ii
required two full days to unmix
the babies and restore the women
to theirnaturally sweet dispositions.
To this day it is unsafe for any
baby mixers to venture into that
territory N. o. Picaynne.

The negro is not intuitive, but
his brain is one which works sug-
gestively. Over in Texarkana a
negro was killed, in a manner
which would suggest that his muir
derer read of or heard of a like
mode of putting away" Com
menting on the affair an old dar-
key of that town observed: "You
know it is the nature of the mig
gers to do whatever white folks do.
Last winter a white woman living
on Olive street, killed her husband
and a week or two later a negro
woman living three blocks distant
from the scene killed her husband
in precisely the same manner. Two
or three months ago Sam Easily, a
white man was shot and killed
while asleep, doubtless by white
man, and now some fool niger
kills Henry Bates in the same man
ner. Yes, sab, the niggers is sho
gwine to try TO keep up with the

lowest limit and the rice growers
are simply demoralized. AT the
present price there is not single
rice grower who will make expen-
ses. After this year we can hardly
expect any rice to be planted in this
parish, it must be given up, because
it is ruinous crop. Recent sales
netted the planter about $3.50 pei

THE MlLLION.DOLLAR BOND SCHEME

There is no doubt of an almost
unanimous sentiment all over the
State favorable to good school

The plan does not appear to be as
popular as promised to be when
the Legislature took action in the
matter. What proportions the OPP
position will attain can now be con
jectured -Nansfeld Journal.
1t is a scheme '1hich would ben
eft the holders of the bonds more

scheme, in which is concealed the
self. glorificatien of one man. 1t
is scheme which, if approved by
the people, would lead to never
ending disappointments and re-
grets-a million dollar scheme
which, with the interest, would ag-
gregate 81, 100000. 1t is scheme
which no sensible, prudent business
man would accept as proposition
affecting his own affairs and for
which he would be held responsible.
On its face the scheme is enticing
and well "sugar- coated" but when
the people understand the scheme
it will be defeated overwhelmingly,

THE PEACOCK CAR.

1t is easy to understand why sc
vain a man as Governor Blanchard
is should like to display his power,
but it is quite another thing to ac-
count for one whose private and
official life has been clean and hon
est, as Governor Blanchard's has
been, aligning himself with the
malign and evil influences that are
seeking to dominate the admins
tration of criminal justic" in the
city Of New Orleans.
Everybody in the city of New
Orleans and this State at all fami-
liar with public affairs for the past
decade or more, knows the connec-
ton between Lionel Adams and
Dominick Malley; they remem-
Der the assassination of Chief Hen
messy by the Dagos, the tlial and
the !ynching and their correction
Herewith; they remember Mr..
Adams connection with the trial
of Hart, the councilmanic boodler ;
that he was the assistant prosecutor
and al the same time in the pay of
Hart; that he was proceeded against
by the Bar Association of New Or
leans and for time disbarred for
this violation of professional honor.
And yet, inconceivable and as
founding as it may seem, Lionel
Adams, we are told by the public
prints of New Orleans, was the first
choice Of Governor Blanchard for
District Attorney of the great city
Of New Orleans.
With Lionel Adams as District
Attorney it is easy to see where
Dominick O'Malley would come in
and graft and have full sway.
But powerful as Governor Blan-
chard is he could not force Adams
down the thrOats Of the bosses,
even. They believe in show of
decency on the out side at least,
and usually pick some good men
to lend respectability to their ticket.
In the present instance they de-
cided on Chandler G. Luzenberg
for District Attorney, and at first
he was agreeable to the Peacock
Car. The Peacock Car even gave
his promise to Mr.. Luzenberg not
to interfere.
But at the last moment the
malign and sinister influence re-
ferred to brought some power not
explained to bear on the Peacock
Car and his plighted word was
broken. Adams was not to be
nominated, but Porter Parker, a
man who would lend responsibility
to the ticket. The bosses, who claim
as one of their chief assets the vir-
tue Of always sticking to friend
and keeping their promises, had
pledged themselves to Mr.. Luzen-
berg, and they bucked at this but
"just to show my power" the Pea
cock Car with his patronage club
made the bosses violate their pledge
as he had violated his and whipped
them into line.
If reports are to be credited,
Adams is to be Parker's assistant,
and it is still easy to see where
Dominick O'Malley comes in.
One of Judge Blcnchard's ante
election promises was that he
would, in case Of his nomination,
assure to New Orleans, the South S
greatest city, clean and honest mu-
nicipal government. he has taken
a strange and wonderful way to
redeem that pledge.
1t cannot be charged that the Pea
cock Gar is personally dishonest,
but he has aligned himself with
