Borrowed Editorial.

In primer OF WOOQ preSef-
vation" the Agricultural Depart
ment tells how a fence post can
be made to last eighteen years
instead of two. This achievement
touches a tender spot in any one
who has ever dug post holes.
That fine old tradition, the
maple sugar crop, is reported to
be unusually good this spring. A
statement from the Pure Food
Department on the subject of
corn sirup favored with hickory
chips would be timely, and it is
hoped, reassuring.
Uncle Sans armada is sue
cess and all the more because its
mission is friendly to all other
nations.
1t is unlikely, after listening
to the White House address, that
the Mothers Congress will ever
adopt Teddy bear rampant for
its coat of arms.
Alexander Graham Bell says
the recent flight of his aeroplane
was a success, and the inventor
of the telephone ought to be a
good judge of a workable ma
chine.
The spring opens like q season
Of good crops and the news so
far is entirely favorable. It has
been a long time since American
farmers had a bad year, and one
reason is that they are constant
ly growing more proficient in;
their business.
One of Vice President Fair
banks fellow Indianans, John
w. Foster, says Mr.. Fairbanks
is a descendant of one of Crom-
wells soldiers, is pioneer farm
er's son, a self-supported college
student, a lawyer who has not
accepted a fee since he entered
the Senate in 1897, a nonuser
of spirits and tobacco, and an
Orator who is never bitter or
vituperative." =" The solidity of
Indiana behind him as a candi-
date is another proof of what his
home folks think.
It may be that the taxpayers
of Japan, who are organizing
antiwar leagues, are the real
patriots Of the Orient.
The former chief engineer of
the Panama Canal who pro-
nounces it an absurdity fails to
explain why he agreed to under
take its construction.
Mr.. Vardaman of Mississippi
refers to Mr.. Bryan as "the SUM-
kissed, heaven-piercing noun
tain towering above the foothills
of humanity" It is needless to
say this measurement was not
made with an electoral vote yard
stick.

The Delta country is new. 1t

there will be no fairer land than

There was a lively time at
Lafayette last Saturday when
Senator Lambremont arrived
and took part in the meeting
that was called together to
protest against his nomina-
ton. After the Lafayette
meeting no other parish will
attempt to gain notoriety by
such sensational proceed
ings. Assumption Pioneer.
Right you are; Senator
Lambremont has clearly dem.
onstrated his ability to take
care Of himself and to defend
the action Of the Democratic
State Central Committee. He
has done more; he has clearly
demonstrated that he was
rightfully nominated by the
people.

How The Republicans Get
Their Credentials

Lest some of the people Of the
State may be carried away by the
altlticial enthusiasm which Mr.. Pharr,
assisted b. a number of Federal office
holders is stirring in the State. the New
Orleans States, very pertinently throws
some light on the immaculate party:
"The Republican party as it is pre-
sently conducted in Louisiana is an
autocratic star chamber machine.
Perhaps bakers dozen sugar plant
ers and Office holders run it without
even so much as saving .sby your
leave to the rank and file Of the
supposed party. 1t is an obligarchy
of the most pronounced type and Mr..
Pharr was selected by this-Attle iunta
just as the manager of an athletic
team selects Splinter or boxer to
contest with an opposing team
1t the Republican party in Louisi-
ana exist at all outside Ct this junta
it has no voice in the canducts of the
party's affairs and not word to say
as to who its candidates should be.
The junta has the party in its vest
pockets and it saves the rank aud file
all the trouble Of doing anything save
to vote in the general elections for the
candidates handed out to them. 1t is
the quintessence Of autrocracy, the
acme of personal party despotism.
This little coterie selects every four
years lamb to send fourth to the
slaughter pretty much as the farmer
selects the calf or the pig he sends to
market. The lamb must be sacrificed
in order to keep to the appearance of
a party organization and as a basis
for obtaining Federal spells,
AS the product of this vicious po-
litcai system, which has no parallel
IN the civilized world outside of Rus
STA and few Southern States, is Mr..
Pharl in a position to claim the
Of any man who believes in
the right of the people to control
their public atf;iirss2 We leave this
question for the honest thinking man
hood of the State to ponder over and
determine. "

THE OLIVE MEAD QUARTET.
A New serenade by Ernst DOlnanSt Heard
for the EIrht Time.

The final concert Of the Olive Mead Quar-
tet took place at Mendelssohn Hall last
night. The programme consisted OF
Haydn's D minor quartet, Dohnanyfs
serenade In c major, opus 10, for violin,
viola and cello, and Grieg's quartet In q
minor, opus n. The composition OF Ernst
Dohnanyi was heard for the first time
here. 1t is not at all likely that It will be
heard frequently, for despite some in
teresting features II IA not wholly sue
cessfu attempt to do difficult thlne' me
string trio as II is called, is haLaLoous
form. and a composer not gifted with eX-
traordnary invention ia likely TO find him
self stralning after effects and not quite
reaching them
This is what happened to Mr.. Dohnanyi
in some parts Of his serenade, notably IN
the slow movement. He calls II ronanza
and begins il with a viola solo which IN
melodic character bears faint resemblance
10 the style Of the Contemplative Berloa
Of Italian Journeys Ia Byron. lhe re-
mander il not made less pointed by the
viola arpeggios near the end. But me
scherzo has a certain piquancy and the part
writing in il Is more mertorious, The sere-
made was eXcellently played by Miss Mead;
Miss North and Miss Lttlehales,
The audience last night was neither az
large nor as demonstrative as II should
have been The Olive Mead Quartet OF
feminine daintiness is another argument
in favor OF the equality Of the sexes. II as
Mr.. Gilbert taught us, beautiful maid is
a cheering sight to see, surely four should
be more cheering, and also these four are
good TO hear. They look like the stars OF
the graduating class at a conservatory
commencement, but they do not sound so
Lei us hasten to add neither do they play
like conservatory professors. They play
charmingly, and they ought to be both seen
and haard
