bred Poll Angus cattle which may Do

two miles north of town. This is the
bunch of cattle brought from Texas
last spring. The past three months on
pasture has put them in fine condition
Their uniform size, color. and con-
dition presents a view greatly to be
appreciated by lovers of fine stock.
That so fine herd of thoroughbred
stock can be found here speaks well for
the stock industry in this part OF the
state as it will be but short time un-
til high grade stock will take the pl ace
of the inferior native cattle which has
heretofore been raised.

ADDS TO COMPLExlTY OF RACE PROBLEM,
CHEAPENS AMERICAN LABOR. DE-
BASES AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP.
500 Japanese Immigrants For La,


And COW comes a letter from one,
Walter 7. ASamy, of Park ROk Build
ing New York, in which he says he is
promoter, and incidently, farmer,
although what he farms on Park ROk
is a mystery we are unable to solve.
At any rate Mr.. Asamy says he is here
with the goods, and can deliver
to ANYBODY who can use them. 900 Jap
anese farmers who are willing to learn
the American way of farming rice If
somebody will furnish them land, seed,
tools, implements ETC., necessary to
produce a crop.
The Daily States and few other
papers, are holding this out as great
opportunity for Southwestern Louis
ana. Theysay st would be a nucleus
for the establishment of other japanese
colonies and that the more japanese
induced to settle in the Southwestern
part of the State the better. Now we
would like to ask our worthy contem-
pOrarieS in what respect our section
of the country would be benefited by
dumping into it five hundred or more
paupers of an entirely different race,
| ignorant alike of the habits, thought,
customs and religion of the Cauca sian
race. Is not the race problem which
now confronts the American people suf-
ficientIy complicated without increas-
ing its completely by adding another
social element to it. The human fam
lily is usually divided into five races
Three of them are now working out
their destiny on this continent. and
what are the results? The Indian three
millions strong three centuries ago lis
now practically extinct. The Negro
introduced into our fair land less than
three centuries ago, was the cause OF
one of the mightiest civil strifes in the
annals of history, and is now spread
as blrck cloud over the whole extern
of our land, presenting the most seriou:
problems before the American people
to-day, In the face of these undeniabl'
evidences of the evils resulting from
the race problem, shall We quietly con
sent to have yet another element OF
discord thrust upon us?
What are the benefits toI be derived
from such a couse? Cheap labor
More rice? yes and incidently tn
cheapening of American labor and tn
lowering of the price of rice. Will tn
