WHOM DOES THE SHOE FIT?

In this day of newspapers and
magazines, when the gathering to-
oether Of a half dozen houses de-
manded the establishment of
chronicler, the army of men and
women engaged in the undertak

high calling even for an instant.
That the newspaper is the most
potent force of civilization is be-
yond question and that it moulds
public opinion is also true. The
conscientious parent trembles when
he reflects on the great response
.bility that parentage involves and
id scarcely less degree should the
journalist always approach his task.
In one sense of the word the news
paper is not the property of any
oue particular being or company.
The type, machinery and paper
may be, but when it is transferred
into living thought freighted with
seeds Of good or evil, then as it
enters every home with its mes
.sages of life or death SO then it be-
comes vital property in which all
have an interest. The most con-
servative man on earth should be
the editor. Even his own opinions
poured ont at white heat should be
criticized by that inner self, whose
thoughts are always and only for
the great auditory which always
and only for the great auditory
which awaits him. To the news

public conscience being used to
answer some petty personal spite
and grievance. No matter what
the occasion, no matter what the
provocation, when newspaper
makes attacks on anyone merely to
crafty its manager, it lowers the
profession and does a certain por-
ton of injustice to its co-owners,
the subscribers.
In Louisiana, we are gal to say,
that the big army works harmoni-
ously and the public veal is the
general unwritten motto, but even
here there are very few notes of
discord. Some of our good friends
cannot forget their little political
grievances-they naturally were
and are right, and the great body
Of the State electorate is wrong;
therefore they sit at the door of
their cave watching with eager but
jaundicer eye the governor, judge,
sheriff or whosoever has awakened
their wrath, and his slightest word
or movement is made subject for
caustic criticism or dark inuendo.
Nothing ever has or ever will be
gained by the continued harping on
a threadbare subject and it must
ultimately react on its authors. A
people stand reflected in their Off
GERS and as these officers are re-
spected so does the outside world
grasp the standing of the mass.
! When men submit their names to
public suffrage, then is the time
for a thorough andc close overhauling
of the candidate, then the walls Of
vituperations may be opened and
the luckless one drenched with
their contents; but when the polls
are closed aud the people have
spoken, the defeated faction should
be the first to prove their Ameri-
icaaism by giving loyal support to
the popular choice. And this is
the sentiment of the people gen.
erallv. If some of our good friends
and brothers who cannot forget,
who cannot forgive, would only
turn their thoughts to more pleas.

CANE GROWING ON THE TENANT
SYSTEM.

/ EndeaVOflnS TO nlt upou plau
whereby the vexatious labor prob
lem may be obliterated in so far as
possible, we have observed an in
creasing tendency on the part OF
sugar planters, during the past two
or three years, to cultivate their
fields through the medium Of ten
ants. Ia most instances this plan
of cane growing has proven an I'M
qualified success, particularly so
where due attention is given by the
plantation owner to the malnten-
ance of soil fertility by crop rota-
tion and fertilization and to keep
ing up the proper drainage condl-
tions, which are apt to be neglected
by the tenant who expects to re-
main but limited period on the
property he then happens to be cul-
tivating, if his work is not super
intended with a watch full eye.
1t is in the Teche country where
the tenant system is more largely
followed on sugar plantations, and
there many farmers with small
means and large families have
made conspicuous successes by
growing cane to supply the sugar
mills run by the owners OF the
land. Also on Bayou Lafourche
and on the river are many planta-
| tions worked in part on the tenant
system, a notably successful ex.
ample on the Mississippi being the
extensive Evan Hall plantation,
greater part Of which is tenanted
and by that system has been pro
ducing cane for many years.
While there are cases that may
be cited of tenantry having proven
disastrous to the land owner, this
is rather the exception, and is
chargeable mainly to injudlcious
selection Of tenants, to mistakes IN
advancing money on making the
cane crop, and to lack of proper
| supervision Of the land so given
II Font. W here tenants are chosen
judiciously and given limited tracts
of land to cultivate, they will be
found ever ready to do their own
| work and set their families to as
II sistin g in both the cultivation and
| harvesting of the cane, and will
4 spare no effort to effect the latter
without loss. Thus the crop raised
by this class of farmers gives the
land owner very little uneasiness
on the score of providing labor to
cut and deliver it to the factory.
In this manner the sugar industry
| of the State would be placed on a
| far frmer footing if the majority
| of large planters could shift frcm
| their own shoulders the burden OF
getting laborers and put it up to the
many tenants working their prop
critics so as to each save his part OF
the crop.
