The esteemed Beaumont Journal
remarks: 'sIn the manufacture of
lumber Louisiana leads all the
states IN the union. AT one time
it was the greatest rice producing
state, but has been distanced in
that industry by Texas, and in an
other few years it will have to yield
to the Lone Star State the supre-
macy in the manufacture of lum-
ber." The American wishes to
remark that no authority can be
dug up by the esteemed journal to
show that Texas ever produced as
much rice as Louisiana in this year
or any other year, outside of the
Houston hot air manufacturing
tcenters. The census reports for
1905, just at hand show that Lou.
isiana has 43 rice mills to II il
Texas aud that the amount of rice
milled here in 1905 was little
more than double that milled il
Texas. Without desiring to knock
we feel impelled to ask the esteem
ed Journal if the best they can dc
is to raise six pounds of rice per
acre on those so million Of rice
land the Texas land agent are talk
ing about.-Lake Charles American

The subject is not one that may
be too freely discussed in the news

the newspapers throughout the
State will take the issue up and
discuss it rs freely as they can
within the bounds of deCency and

cause OF this infamy, and if it be
not checked a price will have to be
paid by entire communities for the
sins of the very dregs of the popu-
lation. The relations with the
race of the more debased men in

an evil effect on both races, aside

will be if the Roper effort be made
by those who have pride of race,
who believe in maintaining the de-

preserve the purity of the white
race through all the ages.

TLLMAN AND THE PRESIDENT

Certain it is Senator Tillmau has
not increased any Of the little pop.
ularity he may have possessed in
the South by his vicious aud Wig
orous attack upon President
RooseveIt's action IN the matter Of
the negro soldiers who "shot up
the town of Brownsville, Texas.
The senior senator from South
Carolina is a sort Of stormy petrol.
a harbiuger of strife. Whenever
he bursts into the public view it is
to stir mp something, to make the
waters boil-almost, it might be
said, to set the dogs Of war in mo-
ton. 1t really begins to look as
if he couldn't help it, that he was
made that way, aud, perhaps, on
that ground he should be, in part,
excused.
1t has been known for some
time that is views were antagouis.
tic to the policy of the president
in this matter, but for just what
reason has been a mystery, unless
the solution b. found in the sug-
gestion that has been offered, that
it was just because it was President
Roosevelt who did it.
But the exhibition of these views
which he made the other day in the
senate and the extent to which he
went in denunioiation of the presi-
dents action, was hardly to have
been expected, even from him.
Senator Tillman throws little
light on the reasons for his attitude
in the TRADE which he delivered
upon the senate floor. "The uni
form of the enlisted man is badge
of honor" he said. That seemed
to be his text. Aud yet be ap-
peared wholly blind to the justice
of tearing the badge of honor from
one who had disgraced it by the
crime Of assassination, or another
why he had hidden the assassin
from the law.
1t appears from his argument
that Senator Tillman rather sought
to turn the facts in the Browns
vile case to his own ends than TO
deal with them in the abstract as
case of an evil aud its remedy.
The attitude of Senator Tillman
in regard to this Brownsville affair
is inexplicable on any other ground
than that it is, simply Senator Till
man.
He has sought to oppose the
views and feelings of the people
throughout the south, his own
state included, whom he is sup
posed to represent, and joining
with those who are antagonizing
the president is this matter, prin-
eipally for their own political ends,
to make mockery OF justice.
It is, as We have said, inexplic-
able on any other ground than that
it is Just Senator Tillrnan. -AHdnt

MISCEGENATl0N.

The laws of Louisiana and many
other States of the Union prohibit
intermarriage of persons of the
Caucasian and African races.
This law should exist in every
State of the Union and be as rigid
lv enforced as it is in the States of
the South. No greater curse could
fall upon the American people
than to mix their blood with that
of an inferior race. The evils of
such a course is seen in the con
ditions in the countries south of
us, and in the beautiful islands of
the West Indies. The passage of
the laws prohibiting intermarriage
between the races was a wise move,
but unfortunately it did not go far
enough.
1t is notorious that the marriage
law has not prevented entirely be-
tween the races at which it was
primarily aimed. Lawful inter
course is impossible, but unlaw
ful intercourse continues, and is
conducted, if not openly, at least
in defiance of public opinion, of
the laws of God and of decency
These things are known of all
men. and however disagreeable
the subject be, it must be discussed
in the hope that the Legislature
will pass laws to prohibit it, and
that the courts will so vigorously
enforce those laws that even most
debased will heed them.
There should be a law in Louis
lana prohibiting miscegenation un-
der any circumstances, and it
should carry such severe penalties
that it may nearly enforce itself,
The unspeakable offense is confin-
ed exclusively to one sex of the
white race and the opposite sex OF
the negro race. The law should
punish both races Unfortunately,
but juries should attach the fullest
penalty to the offenders of the
white race. The offeuse had it's
origin in the days of slavery, and
undoubtedly the white man was the
principal offender. In these days
both are equally guilty and both
should be punished. The police
news of this and other cities shows
that there are in all large cities
and towns regular resorts where
this crime is committed, and GER.
tainly it would not be difficult tc
prevent this public Haunting of a
hideous vice in the face of the pub
lie. Any resort that appeals to sc
monstrous a form of debauchery
should be promptly closed and its
inmates should be compelled tt
feel the cold steel of law. There is
unfortunately as yet no law in the
State against such practice, though
feeble attempts have been ma de t.

SOME REAL DEVELOPERS.

1t has been mere matter OF
business with them-the small
question of bread and butter but
the railroad men who have written
the advertisements and urged set
tiers in the southwest are worth
a paragraph of praise.
Newspaper space has been
bought by the railroads that their
immigration agents and their in
dustral commissioners might have
the chance to tell the truth of the
new country to that part of the
world that waited in interest for
the facts. There has been a touch
Of "glowiug color" about some
of these announcements, but for
the most part every published rail
road advertisement has told and is
telling the solid facts about the un
occupied country to which destiny
has long been bidding the honest
toiler from the older communities.

ton at the hands of these writers
of railroad literature that it should.
