JAPANEE FAMINE
EXAGGERATED

TOXIC. March 31.-A careful ex-
animation Of conditions in the famine
districts make IT clear that while the
distress is very severe there has been
considerable exaggeration In some of
the accounts. The deaths that can be
directly traced to starvation are prac-
tically nil.
In addition to the great crop short
age, which In some places was only 2
per cent on the average, the winter
was exceptionally severe, and this re-
suited in considerable mortality
among the aged. Yet the death rate
I'm these districts was not abnormally
high, though it probably would have
been far greater had II not been for
the general subscriptions so promptly
sent, especially from sthe United
States.
one thing that every subscriber may
be assured of is that every cent was
judiciously expended. The heads Of
counties and the heads of villages
gave their cordial and gratuitous CO.
operation to relief work. The Japa-
nese Government has not left the work
OF relief to foreign charity, but has
started relief work throughout the dis
tricts.

.Fl|RCHILD'S POSITION
IN MOL0KAN MATTER

The greater the publicity the clearer
becomes the facts connected with the
Molokan trosllles on Kauai. The inter
view with Mr. Fairchild, published in
the Advertiser on Thursday developed
conditions when until the publication
were unknown even 10 him.
alt may have sounded 20 you that
the ruling of the land department
seemed foolish but that is not just what
/ wished TO express said Mr.. Fair
child yesterday, land when ] met
Commissioner Pratt afterward he
brought the language TO my mind and
showed me an agreement of which j
had no previous understanding. The
government. il seems, has an agree
ment with Captain Demens and 100
Molokans regarding land at Kapaa and
the agreement runs until May ], 1907,
at which time they are to decide
whether or not they will work the land.
Now our grinding contract runs TO May
!, 1907. Commissioner Pratt can do
nothing regarding an agreement with
the Molokans as individuals until that
agreement terminates unless, however,
the Molokans should 90 TO the govern
ment and notify it that they wish to
cancel the contract. Under such cir
cumstances ] am led TO believe an
agreement will be made with them as
individuals and that the AnahOla lands
will be thrown open TO homesteaders.
~ want to see the Molokan scheme
success for otherwise it will damn
that sort of immigration. The Adver-
tiser seems to dwell upon our not Civ
ing these people long enough time but
that is not the trouble, they might stay
from now until doomsday and ! do not
believe the Molokans would succeed as
community AS individuals ] do not
say they are n failure, we have not tried
them, but we are willing to under diff
fercnt arrangement. ] am inclined to
believe that if the government will can
eel its contract with Captain Demens
and the AZ we have working there will
be a different condition. As to tn,
Portuguese, that is another story. They
want to get the land and the water and
| they want us TO guarantee the supply OF
water for long period. This we car
not do as we have no long lease, but
if the government will give us a lease
for twenty-One years with water righti
we will be ready to talk business. il
| the government does not want us to de
velop the water, then it would be wei
for it to do so. 1t is not right to lie

A SILLY SAYING.

'1t is common but silly opin.
ion prevailing among a GER
tain class of people that the
worse q remedy tastes, smells or
hurts, the more efiicacious it is."
SO says well-known English
physician. He further adds
"For example, let us consider
cod liver oil. AS it is extracted
from the fish this oil is SO offen-
sive to the taste and smell that
many cannot use it at all, nc
matter how badly they need it.
Yet cod liver oil is one Of the
most valuable drugs in the world
and it is the greatest pity that
we have not thus far been able
to free it from those peculiari-
ties which 30 seriously interfere
with its usefulness. . This was
written years ago; the work of
civilizing and redeeming it has
since been triumphantly accom-
plished; and as leading in

HON. JOHN I. WATKINS.

This honorable gentleman spent
last Tuesday in our city shaking
hands with his many admiring
friends. Judge Watkins called on
US and found us up to our elbows
in grease and ink, putting up our
power press. and complimented
The Sentinel on her improvement.
Judge Watkins has only served
one session in the House of Rep
resentatives and we can say with
out fearof successful contradiction
that he has been 4 most energetic
member, and has accomplished in
the first session more than any man
who ever represented this district.
He was Immediately recognized
as a man of eminent ability by
his colleagues and the Democrats
in the house and was placed on
some of the most important
standing committees.
As a further mark of the high
esteem in which he is held by his
constituents, there is no oppo-
sition to his reelection for
second term and we predict
many more. unless the people of
the whole State might want to
claim him and either make him
governor or send him to the
United States Senate.

WORKING CONNECTS ON THE PUBLIC ROAD

We know that the people
throughout the parish will learn
with regret that the working oil
convicts on the public roads has
been abandoned, or practically so
by the action of the police jury at
the last session. The committee
of citizens that had charge of that
important work without expense
to the parish made, through their
chairman, on tine first day of the
meeting of the police jury, a very
careful and detailed report of the
work over which they had been
placed by the police jury, the
only mention of which is that the
report was received and the COM
mittee discharged. The commit
tee was recognized and the or
dinance amended so as to require
the guard to take care of and be
responsible for as many as twelve
men. Any man knows that d
man who has to direct the work
of twelve men can not guard that
number at the same time.
We published the report of
the first committee, which showed
the expense of working the
convicts per. mile of road, which
included the cost of the tools TO
work with and which still belong
to the parish. The cost was
s44.7o per mile. Deduct the
expense of buying tools, etc,
and you have the cost per mile
s25.S2 IL.
Now, we feel that the action of
the police jury in not furnishing
the committee with the team and
tools and extending the limit as
recommended by the committee,
step backward. t he police
jury did not by any action of
theirs commend the work. though
Individual memb ers did. and every
citizen who has travelled over the
road has expressed themselves as
pleased with the work done, and
also the beneficial effect the
working of the convicts on the
public roads has upon that class
of violators of the law.

Through the courtesy of Rev.
George A. Kelly We were present
ed with some of the vegetables
canned by the Pelican Canning
Company, of which Mr.. J. N.
Whitehead is the proprietor. A
two-pound can of stringless beans
and a one-pound can Of Acme
Tomatoes which we received were
superior TO any we have seen
come from foreign market.
This cannery is in VIM parish
and it does seem to us that more
of this business should be carried
on. There are no lands in this
parish that will not produce good
fruit and vegetables, and small
canneries could be established in
every locality. A greater income
can be derived from this business
than from cotton.

THE MOONLIGHT PICNIC.

The moonlight picnic given by
the Daughters of the Confederacy
on the 18th. inst, was a most
delightful affair and quite sue
cess. The rain in the late after
noon made quite a number who
would have attended keep away,
thinking that the affair was called
off. But William Walker Chapter
is not made of that kind of
material. Through the courtesy
of Mr.. Albin Tompkins and the
WINFIELD Hardware and Fur
niture Company, who closed their
skating Kinks and loaned them
their arc lights, and Mr.. o. E.
Hodge of the Winfield Light
and Power Company, who SO
generously had the lights con-
nected and placed in the court
square and gave them the power,
they were splendidly fitted up
fors such an affair. and were
determined to dispose of the
cream. sherbet. lemonade and
cakes they had made. While it
was still raining they provided
other lights and placed their
tables in the hall of the court
house, and as soon IS the rain
ceased they moved out into the
square again. They had an adj
dress by Comrade Geo. A. Kelly
on the programme, but on account
of the rain he concluded that the
picnic would be postponed and
did not attend. Professor Gilbert
sang the "Star Spangled Banner"
while Miss Wood repeated it in
pantomime. after which Miss
Wood gave a recitation. Both
events were loudly cheered.
The ladies disposed of all their
ices and cakes and everybody had
. good time. A string band rem
dered beautiful music during the
evening.
Too much praise can not be
given to Mesdames Nelson,
Burks. Belcher. Drewett. Levan.
Lee Jones. and Misses Bernstein,
Nelson. Crawford. Teagle and
other ladies for the success of the
entertainment. Mrs. Nelson. the
President of the Chapter. through
Hon. w. M. Wallace thanked all
those who so generously aided
their efforts.
The above was written for last
weeks paper, but the editor left
on Sunday and did not return
until publication day and failed
to give the copy to the printers.
We regret that we failed to get it
in last weeks issue. and take this
method of apologizing to the
daughters for our apparent
neglect.

STATE BOARD OF EQUALIZATION.

4 The Legislature just adlourncl
passed an act authorizing the
election of a State Board OF
Equalization, to be composed oil
a member from each Congressional
District. The object and inten,
ton of the act is to make the
taxes throughout the State equal
and uniform. As the law stands
under which the assessment OF
property throughout the State
is made valuations have been
governed by the dictum of each
assessor in the different parishes.
A conference of the assessors at
Baton Rouge last spring revealed
the fact that in many parishes the
assessment was ridiculously low,
while in a few parishes the full
value was assessed. This state of
affairs had been known for year
to men who took the trouble to
investigate. and we have, Since we
have had the editorial charge of
The Sentinel, condemned the
system. We do not think the
law goes far enough now, but it is
a step in the right direction and
we sincerely hope that the people
throughout the State will elect to
these positions men who will be
able to work out the problem so
that people living in Winn will
not pay greater proportion of
taxes than those who live in any
other parish.
To that end we have in mind a
man who is we'll qualified to fill
the position with credit to himself
and the satisfaction of the entire
Fourth District, and then to see
that the other districts come to
the mark set by the Fourth
District, so that the assessments
throughout the State will be. as IS
right and proper, equal and
uniform. We refer to Hon. w.
M. Wallace of our town. Mr..
Wallace is a young man who is
forging to the front rank as a
lawyer. He is a native of this
parish, and has a large clientele
in the surrounding parishes. We
do not know that Mr.. Wallace
will be candidate, but do know
that should he allow his name to
be used in that connection he
would get the undivided support
of his native parish, which is now
one of the largest voting parishes
in the District.
We nominate the Hon. w. nj.
Wallace as a candidate for the
position of member of the State
Board OF Equalization for the
Fourth Congressional District.
