NEGLECTING THEIR DUTY.

The situation in Baton Rouge mus
be serious when the Governor direct:
attention to the fact that important leg
islation may be delayed, if not practl-
cally annulled, by the absence of legls
lators from their post of duty. In the
past few days there have been bare quo
runs in the House of Representatives
This absence is a menace to desirable
and necessary legislation.
The legislators who have neglected
their duty by being absent without leave
Or reasonable excuse should not be re-
turned to the next session of the Gen
eral Assembly.
The record, showing the absentees
should be given publicity.
The legislator who has not attended
the sessions regularly should not be per-
mitted to draw pay. He should be COM
pensated only for such attendance which
is exhibited on the roll as being present
and voting.

LOCAL OPTION CAMPAIGN

A local option campaign movement is
being organized in New Orleans. This
is surprising Of all cities, New Orleans
is the last where such contention was
anticipated. 1t is true the saloons and
the doggeries are all-powerful in the
big city, but so is the element which has
become weary of the system through
which defiance and contempt have been
hurled in the very teeth of the law. The
issue when drawn must become intense
ly bitter. Such is the record Of all such
movements. Perhaps high license may
check the crusade. 1t is not possible to
over estimate the evil influence which
the saloons and the doggeries and the
dives have exerted not only morally but
politically. Should the conservative, the
self-respecting, law-abiding element be
aroused to action the saloon in New
Orleans can not escape.
And on this score who can tell how
soon the local option movement may be
inaugurated in Shreveport?

TO HOLD COTTON
Farmers Educational and Protective
Union of Misunderstanding Will Be
Held at Memphis on January 7, 1908.

At meeting of the board of directors
of the Farmers Educational and Protec-
tive Union of America. the reduction OF
the acreage of cotton Is sell as the hold
ing of the staple for q Detter price was
considered.
A meeting has been called and is to
be concened in Memphis, Tenn, on
January 7, Ioo8 at which every section
of the cotton growing States will be
represented.
AS outlined plan to hold at least
100000 bales of this years crop in
warehouses until the price of cation ad-
vances to IS cents.
The proposed reduction in acreage Of
cotton is to fix the minimum price of
cotton at about IS cents per pound.
The financial situation was thought to
require the most careful cooperation by
planters in order to hold up the price of
cotton. 1t is proposed to store the cot
ton in warehouses and to make a ware
house receipt on cotton as nearly as
possible the equivalent of money, in or
der to better insure the success of the
storing scheme.
In an expression of his views over the
situation c. S. Barrett of Georgia, pres
ident of the\association, stated that the
Union controls 100000 bales and he is
confident that at least Is per cent of this
can easily be held off the market without
any suffering resulting to the farmer
through lack of sufficient funds and sup
plies from other crops. He will be
greatly surprised if cotton is not selling
at IS cents a pound before January I,
1908, but believe that reduced acreage
next season will make it even higher.
1t is proposed to establish agencies at
Galveston, New Orleans and Savannah
to enable farmers to keep in close touch
with the spinner and save the middle
mans profit.
A circular letter alleged to have been
written by prominent New York cot
ton speculator urging bankers to force
cotton on the market by foreclosure was
read to the directors today. They de-
cided to issue an official call for farm
ers to withdraw deposits and otherwise
to boycott banks which attempted to
force the marketing of cotton by fore
closure. The directors announced that
their reports estimated the present crop
at 100000 bales.

E MONEY TROUBLES AND
THE PRICE OF COTTON.

MIL VT w oAN.
The Picsyune commenting editorially
on the relation of the Southern cotton
farmer and his cotton and the money
crisis, says: while the necessities OF
the farmers have compelled the sale OF
a portion of the crop, great many
farmers, in fact, considerable proper
tions of the whole, have been able to tide
over the crisis and hold ON to their cot
ton, and they continue to stubbornly
hold it for yet higher prices. The
Southern farmers as class are in much
better shape for holding back the crop
than is generally supposed. They are
less in debt that ever before, and many
of them are not in debt at all. Owing to
the wider extension of the policy of di-
versifying crops, farmers are not COM
PEELED to the same extent as formerly
to purchase large portion of the sup
plies they consume, but are practically
self-sustaining, cotton being practically
a surplus or cash CROP"
We would correct the Picayune. The
word "stubbornly'' is misleading. From
years of adversely the cotton grower has
acquired practical experience. He is nc
longer the stool pigeon of the Wal
street gang. He is beginning to realize
his power, in resisting the schemes O.
the class who would skin him. By MOI
becoming demoralized and rushing hi
crop on the market as was anticipated
by spectators, he has demonstrated tina
he is safe and he is sane and as HI
grows year older he will be prepared
to take care>of himself even without th'
gratuitous advice and counsel of an,
banker. Having grown self-reliant ant
being free of debts and living more
home every year, he is about, indeed, h
has reached the stage of life where h
can snap his fingers at the men VIII
would dictate how he shall market tn
product of his farm, cotton.
Fortunately the Southern farmer
reaching that happy stage where none
troubles can have little effect on him o
on his cotton.

CHARTER
OF THE DOUGLAS & SENTELL
COMPANY.

State of Louisiana, Parish of Caddo:
Be it known that this day, before me,
George Whitfield Jack, a notary public
in and for the above named parish and
State, personally came and appeared
John Glassell Jr., J. M. Sentell, J. S.
Douglas and W. H. North, all residents
of Caddo Parish, La, who declared that
availing themselves of Act No. 78 of
1904 of the General Assembly of the
State of Louisiana, as we'll as all other
statutes of the State relative to the Or
ganization of corporations, they have
formed and do by these presents form
and organize themselves into corpora
ton for the objects and purposes and
under the stipulations hereinafter SET
forth, which they do hereby accept as
| their charter, to-wlt:
ARTICLE l.
The name and title of this corporation
shall be DOUGLAS & SENTELI
COMPANY; by that name it shall have
the power and authority to have ant
lenioy succession for the term of twenty
five years from and after the date here
of, sue and be sued; to make and use
corporate seal, and same to charge a
pleasure; to hold, receive, lease ant
purchase, ALLEVIATE and convey, as wei
as mortgage and hypothecate property
real, personal and mixed; to name ant
appoint such managers, directors, of
fcers and agents as the interest of sucl
corporation may require, and to max
and establish such bylaws, rules an
Regulations for the proper management
of the affairs of said corporation as ma.
be necessary and proper, and the sam
to alter at pleasure.

4 The don1icile of this corporation shal
be in Dixie, Caddo Parish, La, and a
citations and other legal process shall b
lserved on the president of the corpora
, ton, or in his absence on the secretary
II ARTICLE III.
The purpose for which this corpora
The Caucasian. (Shreveport, La.) 1900-192?, 1907-11-28

was reported unfavorably in the Senate
To say the least, such action is sur
prising The pretense for its defeat Is
that it would affect only three parishes
|-Caddo, Calcasieu and St. Landry.
The cry for reform, or rather, the
operation of reforms, is to be effective
only in spots.
The reasoning applied to the clerks
could be adduced to the sheriffis as well
|-Orleans, Caddo, Calcasieu and St
Landry-and therefore the reform Sc
cured should have been defeated.
There is no sense or reason in ex-
cepting the clerks whose respective Of
fees are equal to mint.
The sauce which was good for the
sheriff should have been equally good
sauce for the clerk.
The failure to deal with the clerks, In
reasonable retrenchment, is not credit
able to the reforms outlined and prom
ised through which the people were to
be saved money.
The clerks should have been fixed a
salary commensurate with their respon-
sibility, or should have been allowed
such compensation, including the neces-
sary expenses, as would have been fair
and have reduced ali costs to the mini
mum.
This is reform with a vengeance.
On this score the people who, as earn
est and honest reformers, expected the
curtailment in the compensations Sc
cured by the clerks of the district courts
to a reasonable salary, will be sorely dis
appointed.

The Dallas Times Herald says of the
great Commoner "All jokes aside, Will
liam J. Bryan is proving himself to be
not only man of big brain, but man
of magnanimity and of steady poise.
Instead of joining in the cry of a few
cheap-screw politicians that the admin
istration of Roosevelt is responsible for
the present financial crisis, Mr.. Bryan
comes to the front and declares that the
charge is not true. Bryan will doubt
less never be President; but he will
have greater glory. The future his
torian will write him down as states
man without guile, partisan but pa
triot, and, best of all, an honest man. .

SOON AND THE SOONERS.

We are told with damnable iteration
that the payments of currency may
soon be resumed"
Also that it is ''beleved" that an un-
derstanding" may be arrived at between
New York banks and the banks else
where whereby possible cash payments
may be resumed in the near future"
Evidently all this stuff is inspired AMI
sent out to encourage the benighted
West and South, while its currency is
being used to carry on big call loan
business, and to load up with gilt-edged
but panic scared and therefore cheap
stocks.
Funny, isn't it, this :'soon to resume
currency payments" coming from lot
of financiers who are trying to keep the
government from Initiating the curren-
cy' with that one hundred million GER
tifcate issue.
These "inanciers" tell us we have
currency in plenty, but it isn't flexible
enough. 1t doesn't respond to the
demands" of an inflated business.
business. What is needed, say they, is
an asset currency" something based or
something worth fifty cents on the dol
lar less than a ffty-cent dollar. This
can be expanded at the proper time ane
when the initiation collapses it will con-
tract.
Bet your life it will.
Just like the game the System COM
posed of these aforesaid financiers play:
| now with stocks as chips. Knock the
price up. Unload it on the public
Knock the price down, and buy it back
Repeat the process SO long as you car
keep out of Jail and find a sucker.
/ That elastic currency will enlarge th'
field for knocking up and knocking
down, and as it is new fake old suck
ers will bite as we'll as new.
In the meantime currency payment
will be resumed soon.
