OUR NEW REPRESENTATIVES

At the opening session of the State Leglsla-
ture next Monday, st. Tammany parish will be
represented by our newly elected representative
Mr.. Lewis L. Morgan. AS a lawyer, Mr.. Morgan
has been unusually successful, the firm of which
he is member miller & Morgan) being very
busy one handling all the legal matter they can
attend to, and he goes to the legislature with
the full confidence of the people in his ability to
represent them with credit Mr.. Morgan is
native of the parish, familiar with the sentiments
of it's people and progressive in his views, and
we predict for him a career full of achievement.
Mr.. j. S. Settoon, from the Nineteenth Sena-
torial District, has represented his district for
some time, and is well-known to the people as
capable and influential member.
Mr.. Watson is a new Senator from this district,
but he takes with him record for energetic
perseverance and ability that marks him as an
able and useful member, fully capable of looking
after the interests Of his State and district
Altogether we have every reason to be proud
of our representation in the legislature

HOW LONG ARE WE TO WAIT 2

Those who read the letter of Mr.. F. A. w.
Davis, from Indianapolis, in last weeks issue Of
the Farmer, must have noted that the impress
SION made on him is in accord with the picture
we have drawn of ourselves on more than one
occasion, when destruction was imminent and
narrowly averted. While he speaks encourag-
ingly Of the rapid growth of Covngton he does
not fail to note that we are deficient in public
enterprise We have many times called attention
to this fact in these columns, and the lack of in
terest in public affairs is remarkable Incl
dence, considering the individual enterprise Of
some of our citizens and the business capacity
exhibited in private interests.
There is no diversity Of opinion as to the
need of a system of waterworks and fire pro-
lection, and succeeding each confagration there
is panicky disposition to hustle matters to
finish that dies out as soon as the wind lays and
revives with recurrent danger, when the blow
ing of whistles and the firing of guns arouse us
to a consciousness that we are still unprotected
Is it not unreasonably foolish to thus trust to
luck? The placid Indifference of immature
childhood is out of place in thrifty, growing
community that is inviting settlement invest
ment of capital and pleasure seekers from other
cites
There is a distinction to be made between I'M
provident expenditures and absolute necessities,
and where the exigencies of the case require
it, there should be no hesitancy in shoulderlng
the responsibility. The same business prlncl-
pies which apply to the affairs of private con-
Germ should apply to the affairs of municipality.
Having decided that fire protection is needed,
the next step is to devise ways and means to
acquire it. To acknowledge that we are unequal
to the task is an admission that we are unit to
occupy the position we claim we are entitled to-
If there is no other way of getting absolute ne
cessities, then let us issue long term bonds, and
let the future generation help to pay for bene-
fits in which they share It is better to pay the
interest on these bonds than to have flames eat
up many times the interest in property, besides
1.-THE danger to life.
No one can deny that we are constantly men
aced by this danger Then why wait until we
are driven to desperation by another fire, per-
haps destroying our new business blocks and the
handsome new bank building. Insurance rates
are exhorbitant and would-be builders are tlmlc
X about erecting buildings to make bonfires. II
is time to consider these matters, and the peo'
ple should demand that something be done.

AS TO DAIRY INTERESTS.

For the information of our foreign subscribers
who are interested in Hammond we Will state
that between 1900 and 1900 gallons OF milk are
shipped to New Orleans from here each day.
Hammond Sun.
This item is in itself lecture that should
make our people get wise to the fact that they
are not taking advantage of opportunities that
are offered in our own parish for the building
up of the dairy industry.
According to the report of the Agricultural
Experiment Station at Baton Rouge on dalrylng
herds at Hammond and their milk production
the stock available for dairying in this parish
are better producers than those OF Hammond
AS to the yield of butter fat, we are not IN
nosition to make positive statement, but be-
lieye there would be no material difference AS
for pasturage, we have equal facilities, and there
is no apparent reason why the profits OF this
business should be lost to the parish.
The problem of feeding can be solved by the
introduction of silos, and the profits from waste
products fed to porkers would in short time
nav for these silos If all fertilizing material is
properly saved and applied to the soil, one acre
of ground will produce ensilage enough to feed
two head of stock; besides, the trucking busl-
ness can be engaged in also under much more
favorable conditions than when few cattle are
kept. The cry for pasturage will no longer De
heard when the people wake up to the fact that
silos and soiIing furnish nutritious green food

THE STOCK LAW.


There seems to be some misunderstanding as
to the object of a stock law and it's effect upon
those who desire to keep cow or two for family
use. There is no desire to place any more re-
striction upon milk stock than is absolutely nee
essary to prevent stock from having free run
of the streets There is no attempt made TO
abridge the privileges Of owners further than to
compel them to keep the cattle off the streets,
except at such times when it becomes necessary
to drive them to and from home. This is very
reasonable requirement, and some who opposed
i stock law under the impression that it would
deprive them .Df. the right. to keep a COW within
the town limits, have withdrawn their oblec-
ton and assert their approval instead
The feeling that this law is necessity has
taken possession Of the people, and the general

SOCIETY NOTES.
BY OUR SOCIETY EDITOR, MArRoNrrA.

Why will boys must boys be cruel? Is be
cause there is the inherent savage in them, or is
it because mothers do not think it as necessary
to teach their boys the quality Of mercy as they
do their children Of the gentler sex? If 50, it
seems grievous wrong to allow cruelty to mar
an otherwise manly little chap, and to exert it's
corroding influence over a truly fine nature. Not
long since the writer witnessed painful scene,
and one which must have had as bad an effect
upon the actors as it did upon their audience,

of railroad magnates, lumber kings and
millionaire New Yorkers he chopped down

New York, September 26.-(Special.)
Herman Ridder tonight was appointed
by Chairman Mack of the democratic
national committee as treasurer of the
committee to succeed Charles N. Has
kell, governor of Oklahoma, who re-
signed early this morning.
In selecting Mr.. Ridder, Chairman
Mack acted upon express orders from
William j. Bryan, and Mr.. Ridder will
at once take hold of collecting CAM
paign funds for the democratic national
ticket.
Mr., Ridder is the editor and pro-
prietor of the Staats -Zeitung.
Prior to the Denver convention he
called upon Mr.. Bryan at Lincoln and
begged him not to run for President
pleading that it was impossible for i'm
to carry New York state, and If he lost
New York state he could not be
elected.
After Mr.. Bryan's nomination Mr.. Rid
der proclaimed that he would do his best
for Mr. Bryan's election and become as
sociated with him in the campaign in the
publicity bureau, He has since then been
hard at work for the election of Mr.
Bryan. In choosing Mr.. Ridder, Mr..
Bryan and Mr.. Mack passed over the
claims of Moses Wetmore chairman of
the democratic national finance committee
and other asprants. August Belmont,
former treasurer and campaign collector
for the Parker canvass, Is understood to
have suggested Ridder, even before Bryan
ordered his appointment. Belmont was

ROUND THE CIRCLE
HARD FIGHT WITH
GREEN GOODS MEN

Baltimore, Md, September 26.-(Special)
After a fierce hand-to-hand encounter
with green goods men in a room on
ground floor at 532 West Mulberry street.
Postoffice Inspector Hal B. Mosby of
Virginia succeeded in arresting one man
who is believed to be the ringleader and
shot at the other one who made good
his escape through a window. The pris-
oner was taken to the Northwestern pol
lice station and locked up pending the
action of the United States authorities.
He had in his possession a grip that
contained several thousand dollars of
good United States money.
Mosby, VINO is nephew of the famous
Colonel Mosby, of Mosbys raiders, is a
Virginian and lives at Beresford Springs.
He had been working on the case for
some time and declared that he had rea-
son to believe that the men had been
trying to operate in this city for weeks.
