The high water in this parish
WAS again rising during the past
few days, with indication for more
water to come. A large area Of
cultivable land is now under wa
ter with large amount of crop
lost, and the prospects are that
more land will go under and more
crop lost. The planters of the low.
lands are doomed to ruination un-
less they get immediate relief from
the Atchafalaya Levee board. Un-
less this is done at once, many of
the planters of the low land Sec
tions will have to abandon their
homes and the best lands of our
parish will have to remain idle
and unproductive.

The last number of the state board
of health bulletin discussed the mat
ter of smallpox and vaccination.
Smallpox is preventive disease and
the Bulletin claims that it pays to be
protected. All persons are urgently
requested TO notify the health officers
OF any suspected cases of smallpox.
1t is a duty to society. The argu-
ments in opposition to vaccination as
a remedy for the prevention of the
disease are taken up and answered
specifically. There are five general
reasons or declarations advanced in
opposition to vaccination, namely: 1t
is dangerous, it is useless, it is an
invasion of the right of the indiyid
uaI. doctors favor it for the fee, all
statistics about smallpox are false
These arguments are met and the
conclusion is reached that a crafty
ing decrease in smallpox in the last
five years is shown in the United
States. to he concurrent with wide
spread vaccination and better sani
tary knowledge. In 1902 there were
reported 54,014 cases of smallpo,
with 2,083 deaths, in 1906 there were
reported 12.503 cases with only 81
deaths.

The sinsurgent' conference at
Grand Forks this week passed a res
0lution in favor. of harmony and ad-
journed There were present several
members of the legislature who are
candidates for the speakership and
most of them dWelt upon the wisdom
OF organizing the house as republi-
can body, without too much scruti-
nizing of the members for factional
brands The attendance at the
meeting would not indicate that at
this time there is believed to be any
great demand for a factional gather
ing to map out legislative organiza-
ton. There may be those within the
republican party of the state who feel
that the state is in danger unless
one or the other of the factions into
which the republican party of the
state is unfortunately divided shall
have absolute control. But there are
many republicans who fail to see the
wisdom of this continued division of
the party, and who would be content
ed to see the house organized as a
republican body, with arman temper
amentally fit and capable chosen as
speaker, recognizing all republicans
as such, and contributing his share
toward the carrying out of the prom
ises of the party with respect to leg
isIation and conserving the best in
terests of the state in the discharge
of the duties of his important posi-
tion. It is entirely natural that there
should be rivalry for the speakership,
but the fight should be carried on
within the ranks of the republican
party and in the end the speaker
should be the choice of the majority
of his own party. The senatorship
matter is settled, and there are no
Issues upon which the elements of
the republican party are SO far apart
that the maintenance of factional
lines is either necessary or wise.

WCASoAhiS.
P. E. Byrne, chairman, Democratic
county committees: In reference to
the writ of mandamus to compel
County Auditor sHealy to act, desire
to say that this action was found
necessary after many Intellectual at
tempts on the part Of Mr.. Korn and
myself to Il have Mr.. Healy
send out the required notices. The
article in this mornings paper says:
"It is understood that Auditor Healy
has not refused to notify the contest
ants Doubtless your understanding
on this point took form after an in
terview with Mr.. Healy; but the fact
remains that the notices have not
been sent out. ~.
In his talks with Mr.. Korn and
myself, Auditor Healy professed to
be acting under the advice of R. N.
Stevens, assistant attorney general.
1t has subsequently developed that
Mr.. stevens is the attorney of rec
ord for Harvey Smith on fake CON
test Instituted later on the same
day against Korn.
The county attorney advised Audi
tor Healy by phone in the presence
of Mr. Korn and myself and by let
ter procured by us at Healy's re-
quest, and delivered into his hands
that 1t was the plain duty of the
county auditor to send the notices
provided by law to Messrs. Korn and
Smith and that no contemplated con-
test could in any way alter his duty
in the premises. Mr.. Healy saw fit
to ignore this advice of the states
attorney, who by law is made the le'
gal adviser of the county officers, and
instead follows the advice of an at
torney, who, by record, is shown to
be the attorney of an interested
party.
There are those, myself among the
number, who believe Healy's refusal
to act is a part of political job to
euchre Mr.. Korn and possibly MIR
Smith out of the commissionership
The alleged plan being to delay al
action until after January 4th, wher
vacancy would exist on the board
of county commissioners, to be filled
by appointment of Messrs. E. G. Pat
terson, county commissioner, Johr
Ecklund, county commissioner, M.
Mckenzie, county Judge, and !. w
Healy, county auditor, under the pro
| visions of section 429 Of the Revised
Codes. Those gentlemen havint
picked out their own man and handet
him the commissionership, it will b
4 for the person justly entitled to th
place to go into the courts and spen,
money and time to procure his rights
The plan has all the well know
tearmarks OF Burleigh county polit
cal jobbery, and it will be interestin
