some green fruits and vegetables, this
being the case especially with Irish and
sweet potatoes and yams, but cash sales
were frequent, and. taken as whole,

There is tolerably unanimous
failure throughout the South to
either get excited or enthusiastic
over the war screams of certain
section of the yellow press. 1t is
not that the south is not patriotic.
If the time ever comes when there
is something doing in the war line
either with the Orient or any other
part Of the world, the South will
be found holding down its end of
the job. That the south could
fight and would fight was abund-
antly and sorrowfully proven dur
ing tho Civil War, and the united
country will probably not get over
paying pensions for that object
lesson in two generations. That
the South was still able bodied
and willing was also shown in the
Spanish War though that did not
amount to much. But as to the
talk Of war with Japan, the South
fails tp be interested. There is
nothing g in the situation to warrant
war talk. The situation, such as
it is, j. not one that wars are made
out Of Further, the South has a
valuable and growing trade with
the Orient that it does not want to
see disturbed for the benefit OF a
few newspapers who make living
out Of half page scare headlines.
Southern cotton mills and un-
bleached piece goods for the
benighted heather are absorbing
topics enough for the South jus,
now. When there is real oc-
casion for war talk it will begin tc
take an interest.

Questions Taken From The Daily
State.

Would Colonel Wilkinson have
refused the support of the Shreve-
port Times under the old manage
ment Of the paper because some OF
the stock was held by bankers?
Would Colonel Wilkinson refuse
the political aid of the New Or
leans Times-Democrat because a
mum Der of Republicans are on it's
stock book?
Is Colonel Wilkinson's sincerity
on the high license question to be
gauged by the ordinances Of
Plaquemine parish? If so, then
Colonel is insincere, because the
liquor license there is only S1O0-
one tenth the license in the home
parish o: Jared Y. Sanders. If
not, then Colonel Wilkinson, who
cannot obtain "high morality" in
his own little bailiwick, is not the
proper person to be entrusted with
task of enforcing "high morality''
throughout the State.
Does Colonel Wilkinson want
every business man in the State
who is supporting his opponents
TO open up his private business
SO he, the doughty Colonel can
see "where they got their money!"

Whether we have war with Japan
in the next ten months or the next
ten years or not at all, the trip Of
the battleship squadron around
Cape Horn will be good object
lesson to the American public On
the necessity of digging the
Panama Canal. The fleet that
Admiral Evans will take from the
Atlantic to the Pacific probably
will be as good as could be gotten
together, but a 1900 mile run is .
more severe test than battle ship
is usually called on to endure land
it is not likely that the Whole OF
the American fleet will arrive at
San Francisco in as good condition
as was the Oregon when she made
her famous run from the Pacific to
the Atlantic. Were the Canal q
reality, the tedious voyage around
Cape Horn would not be necessary
and ships could be transferred
from one coast to the other in this
country without either much time
or trouble. The water way across
the Isthmus would reduce the es'
sentjal size Of the American navy
by at least one third. This wouia
be an item of moment not only ID
the cost of the fleet but in its man,
tenauce. Strategetically the Canal
will he of more use to this country
than to any other in the worlo,
and the sooner we get it done

tion. the better it will be Tor us.

The Third Term Menace

While the leading Republican
newspapers Of the country are, as
rule. opposed to the denomination
Of Roosevelt by the Republican
party, there appears to be
systematic campaign going on
throughout the country in favor OF
it. Evidences of that campaign
are cropping out in such papers as
the Washington Herald and the
Atlanta Georgian, and in reading
matter furnished by press bureaus
and correspondents to many
country papers. The plan seems to
be to build up a distinct Roosevelt
party, something on the order OF
Mr.. Hearst's Independence League
which will be able to sandbag the
Republican national convention,
as MIR. Hearst's League sand
bagged the New York Democratic
State convention last year. The
promoters of this scheme are
proceeding by indirection. Their
line of argument is illustrated by
the following extract from an
article in the Washington Herald
Of June 26, written in reply 70 an
editorial Of the Brooklyn Eagle:
"Mr. Roosevelt is not engaged
in forcing his denomination. His
attitude is not at all that of cam
didate for a third term. He has
not even countenanced move
ment for his denomination. There
is really no such movement, at any
rate not in an organized or tangl-
BILE form. What exists is senti-
ment. or belief, that the President
| ought to be renominated. What
if this sentiment should dominate
the Republican national conven-
ton; " hat if the nomination, in
stead OF being forced by Roosevelt,
should be forced upon him:
Would not such an eventuality put
the moral aspect of the Presidents
selection night declaration in an
entirely different light from that in
which the Eagle views it? The
Eagle has ignored the more prob
able contingency for less proba'
BILE if not altogether impossible
one. There is vital distinction
between the two"
Such talk as this is appearing
constantly in a class of papers
which have no claims to Leadership
in either party. And it is true a:
the Brooklyn Eagle says. that -
is probable the President coulo
force his own denomination. Moth
ing could save that from being
recognized as forced process. l
would be stigmatized as violation
OF his freely and solemnly pledged
word"

When the time comes to elect
delegates to the Democratic ma
tional convention the question Of
expediency' must be considered in
selecting the candidate for presi-
dent. What states can he carry?
that is the vital question. would
be folly to nominate our best friend
or neia ahbor and see him defeated.
The best man in the United States
may not get votes enough to win,
he may be too outspoken, or be
known to advocate some reform
that section of his party is OPP
posed to, perhaps because it is not
thoroughly understood. A minor
ity party is compelled to be more
careful than the party in power
with its many ways Of smoothing
out rough places and placating
kickers.

One afternoon couple from an
adjoining town presented themselves
to Boston divine. and asked to be
married, just as he was about to
enter the pulpit to conduct an after
noon service. The minister replied
that he regretted that he could not,
at that moment, comply with their
wish; but that, Immediately upon the
conclusion of the service, he would
take pleasure in performing the cere-
mony.
The lovers, after some demurring.
seated themselves in the rear Of the
church.
When the minister had finished
the service he made the following an
