Keep in Step With
Our State.

The recent trip through the State
by the members of the Rivers and
Harbors subcommittee has opened
their eyes TO the possible future of
Louisiana, and to the advantages
that will accrue by the completion
of the intercoastal canal and the
opening up of the waterways, not
only to this State but TO their own
States as we'll. This community of
interests has given them a keener
insight into our undeveloped re-
sources and an@appetite for our
raw materials at reduced freight
rates that Is indicative OF an earnest
desire to help US out, and. also
willingness to ship US large quantl-
ties OF manufactured material, with
the benefit of the same reduced
rates.
This Is as 1t should be. While
the representatives of Louisiana,
both in the House and in the Sen
ate, have always commanded re-
spect and cosideration for their in
telligence and ability, 1t has been
a difficult matter to secure appro-
priatlons with a Democratic MINOR
ity; but when the question becomes
one of vast commercial interests
with co-exlsting benefits, there is
reason for anticipating resultant
action favorable TO our advance
ment. Louisiana is fast becoming
prosperous. Climatic conditions
and productiveness of soil have
much to do with it, but the ener-
getic effort of the people is the de-
terminate source from which is to
spring the power and influence of
the future.
The great indicator of what is
to come the storage battery that
furnishes power throughout the
State--is the city of New Orleans.
With rapid strides she is setting a
winning pace, and the shadow of
her future greatness reaches far be-
yond the limits of the anticipating
prophesies of few years back.
Not least among the influences to
nourlsh this activity and to give
forceful strength to the movement
has been the press of the city,
whose eager watchfulness has kept
before the people the issues of the
hour.
Evidence that, this feeling of
progessiveness is permeating every
portion of the State is disclosed In
the appeals of SO many towns for
improvements, waterworks and fire
protection; the universal recogul-
tion of the benefits of good roads,
and an up.to date desire to flourish
and be comfortable,
The people of Covlngton must
recognize that as the State grows
in opulence, and especially as the
prosperity of New Orleans in,
creases, SO will our town be afford
ed opportunities for advancement;
but the rapidity with which we
make our way to the front depends
upon the energy of our efforts. We
must not weaken in our enthusiasm
at a moment when nearly every
town is adding its mite to the ac-
oumulating prosperity of the State,
and it must not be credited to US
that slothful indifference or cupldi-
tY has relegated US to the un-
enviable category Of the inefficients.
We expect soon to see petition
presented to the Council for an
election for waterworks and fire
protection, and it would be a pleas
ant demonstration Of the thorough
awakening of the people if we
could record that not a property
holder had refused to sign It.

enthusiastic over the progress made
