The War Scare.

War or no war, the war scare is
proving a temporary boom to the
large dailies of the country, as it is
furnishing them material for column
upon column OF sensational matter,
which, being set off by lurid headlines,
is diligently sought for and greedily
devOured by ii sensation loving peo-
pie But this is not without its beniti-
cent results. In fact, it is proving an
excellent education along the import
ant lines of our military resources.
Four weeks ago not one man in twenty
could have told anything about the
location or strength OF the American
navy; today every street gammin can
give pretty clear idea on the subject.
1t is also creating sentiment among
the masses, fayoring an increase OF
the navy, and when the masses shall
demand it, the increase will be made.
The authorities at Washington, mill
tary and civil, are being brought to
see that the best way to keep peace is
to be prepared for war.

The Kind We Want.

The firm of W. w. Duson & Bro.
has recently sold nearly 1000 acres OF
rice land in the vicinity of Crowley to
German settlers from North Dakata,
who will take up their residence here
next fall. They are all prosperous
and well-to-do citizens, good farmers,
and they have lived in the United
States long enough to become good
Americans. They will be a valuable
addition to the population of Acadia
parish.
This is the class of citizens the rice
belt needs. They do not have to be
"assimilated, !" for thew are already
Americans. They do not have to be
taught to be farmers, for they are al
ready familiar with American agrl-
cultural methods. There are thou
sands of people in this class in the
East. North and Northwest, who are
looking for homes where they can gel
new lands cheap. Why 60 to Europe

Mail order Buying.

The perniCiOuS practice OF patrOniZ-
ing the various mail order houses of
the country, in preference to the local
dealer, that is INDUCED in to a large
extent by the rural element, is one of
the disaSterOus factors with which the
smaller towns have TO contend at the
present time. In fact, it Is proving
so disasterOuS in many of the towns
located on trunk lines, that business
is undergoing retrogreSSion rather
than progression. In the interest of
the towns and the surrounding COM
munitieS, the press throughout the
country has been StrenuOuSly combat
ing the influence of the mail order
houses, and have expected and gener-
ally received the cooperation of the
business men In this effort to keep the
money of the community in the COM
munity. But SO seductive is the power
of the mail order house becoming that
it is no uncommon thing for a mer-
chant, who is entirely dependent upon
the patronage of the people for the
perpetuity of his own business, to aC-
cept the Establishments of the Out-Of-
town dealers, and purchase from them
the very products that his fellow mer-
chant could have furnished to as good
an advantage both as to price and
quality The business man of a COM
munity who sends his money outside
his community for that which he could
as well get at home, is not doing his
full duty to his community and is dig
ging his own grave, metaphOrically
speaking, as he is weakening the COM
munity from which he must draw his

Hartman On Sea and Land.

+. H. Hartman disObeyed orders
on the Harvard y ale race course and
met with a great surprise. a naval
lieutenant, whose duty it was to keep
the course clear and enforce orders,
had the extreme impudence to actually
arrest Mr.. Hartman Just the same as
any other common offender might
have been arrested. And when Mr..
Hartman shook his finger at Chair
man Schweppe of the regatta commit
tee and shouted, Young man, I'll see
you later the people within earshOt
merely laughed. Lieutenant Blumer,
the officer who arrested Mr.. Hartman,
took his prisoner aboard the revenue
cutter Gresham and kept him there un-
til after the race was over. Then he
was permitted to GO on his own re-
'cOgnizance, but the Hartman motor
boat was tied up at the navy yard.
Mr.. Hartman is not used to that
sort of thing. He is accustomed to
having his own way, in court and out.
On land no one in authority thought
of having him arrested for his AFRO
giant violations Of the law, but on wa
ter it was different Perhaps it would
be a good idea to send all of our ju-
dicial and executive officials to sea for
awhile in order that they may learn
how to enforce laws and rules, and
while they are learning let the naval
officers come on shore and take the
judicial and executive places for
awhile, Until they learned the meth
DDS of distinguishing between the peo-
pie of high and low financial degree
we might have pretty fairly good en-
forcement of the laws -Commoner.

Sanders On immigration.

At the opening of his campaign at
Morgan City on the 9th, Jared Y.
Sanders said on the subject of immi-
grafton:
Fellow citizens, the handwriting is
upon the wall, and the man must be
blind indeed who cannot read it. The
day of the negro as an agricultural
laborer is rapidly passing away and
his place must be supplied, else our
magnificent agricultural domain must
be abandoned. The white man as a
hired labOrer will afford no perma-
nent relief, for by nature be is a home
builder, and will never consent to
serve others indefinitely. The negro
must be supplanted by the intelligent
and Industrious white man, who will
own his farm, live upon it and cult
vate it, and the sooner these facts are
recognized the sooner will we reach a
solution of our labor embarrassments.
THE great West has been built up
by small white farmers. Intense farm
ing, diversifcation of crops and econ
Omy in management have adued value
to these lands which greatly SurpaSs
the value of our own land, when in
productiveness and fertility it will
double if not treble the value of the
western farms. Fellow citizens, in my
Judgment, should these splendid lands
of ours, when sold, be divided into
small farms, ranging from 80 to l20
acres per farm, these values would in
crease four-fold, while no state in
the Union can boast of greater agri-
cultural prosperity.
And these lands become the home
and abiding place of the white farmer,
and the efforts and energies of our
state government should be devoted
to the introduction of this class of
labor to our state.
Mr.. Sanders is right in saying that
our lands should be divided into
small farms. The agricultural future
of the state depends on the small farm
er who can do his own work.
But whaEis to become of the negro
when the large farms are cut up and
parceled out to white farmers?-Crow-
ley Signal.

06e Song i'm
06e Night

(By William Wallace Maxim.)
Once in the night 1 heard a wild bird
singing.
Its sweet notes, floating down the
wooded glen
Woke me from slumber, and its joy
Gus ringing
Seemed odd and strange, so far
from haunts of men.
l raised my head above my scented
pillow
Scented with cedar boughs and
hackmetack-
And listened, filled with glad sur
prise and wonder,
1t flowed as though he could not
keep it back!
The sky was overcast; the lowland
valley
Was wrapped in mist that hid it
like a sea;
The trees wept rain that on my tent
fell softly,
As though so careful not to waken
me.
And still the song came pouring
through the darkness;
Wild. free, eXultant like a soul un-
chained
l almost shrank and shuddered at ITS
boldneSs,
While yet the thrill of rapture was
maintainedl
Light, peace and joy are promised in
the morning,
Though for the night our weeping
may endure;
Day follows night, and at ,-.e golden
dawning
We shout and sing to find His
promise sure.
So we, in darkest hours of pain and
sadness,
May sing aloud for JOY that is to be,
And wake the chilly night with songs
of gladness,
That we, when comes the morning,
shall be freel

to Introduce Mrs. Clark. for she was
already known In Butte social circles
as Mrs. Marco Medin, wife of an
Italian grocery and saloon owner and
money lender.
This Is young Clark's second ro-
nance. His first wife died two years
ago, leaving their only child, baby w.
"A. Clark the third, motherless. This
is the baby born upon whom was set
tied $1,000.000 by the multimiIlion-
aire grandfather.
For a time w. A. Clark, Jr, mourn
ed his wife inconsolably, and travelled
to dull his grief. When he returned
to Butte his mourning was about
over for he was noticed to be often
in the company of Mrs. Medin. 1t is
said the million-d dollar baby made
them friendly to each other, by the
baby taking a sudden attachment for
Mrs. Medin, who is very beautiful
while out one day for an airing.
Medin did not like the friendship,
however, for divorce suit followed
and 1T was not fought so bitterly as
to cause comment. After the divorce
Clark married the pretty ex-wife of
the Italian, and now the millionaire
baby has for new mamma the lady
to whom it became so attached.
