A little girls papa had been

The little girl had been told to be

the promise that she should 60 in

WHY o

If we are to have a united Dem.
ocracy in Louisiana, composed, as
the late election returns would indi.
cate, of an overwhelming majority
of its white vote, why not stop re-
ferring in terms boastful or acri.
monious, to the result of the re-
cent primary?
A Democrat has been nomin-
ated; and it is presumed, at least,
that Democrats are all satisfied.
Just how the result was accom-
plished, who did it, and why, are
questions which, for the sake of
unity and good feeling
should be frowned down.
But then, an "organ'' hardly
knows what to say after a victory,
except to tone references to it with
partisan venom, having place only
the primary contest, and
only then by an "organ."

for governor.
Why not let it go at that?-

GOOD SOUND ADVICE

In an address delivered recent
ly, Congressman Ransdell, that
true and worthy son of Louisiana,
said:
Il have tried very hard to hon
eycomb my district with rural free
delivery routes, which are the
greatest benefit to the farmers, and
in many instances, fully one-half,
the service has been refused by
Uncle Sam because of the bad
roads. Farmers often complain of
heavy taxation, but the heaviest
tax any community groaned under
is a bad road. 1t wears out and de-
stroys your work animals and We
hicles of every kind; it adds 500
per cent every year to your black
smith bill; it adds 1900 per cent
to the cost of transporting your
produce to the market; it dimin-
ishes the selling value Of your farm
at least 200 per cent; it drives your
children from home in disgust TO a
parentless life in some distant city,
away from your loving care and
beset by thousands Of dangers; it
makes you g~ray-headed before
your time, and often carries you
to a premature grave. | implore
you to work your roads and save
yourselves and posterity from
these evils. If you think my picture
is overdrawn, visit any community
which has good roads and see for
yourselves that / do not exagger-
ate in the least"

WHEN "KNIGHTHOOD WAS IN
FLOWER

This great play, which has had
so much success this season, will
be seen at Sandoz Opera House on
Saturday, Feb. 18th. The cast is
composed of fifty people, and the
costumes and scenery the most
elaborate ever seen in this city.
This company was booked to play
at the Houston Opera House, but
on account of the recent fire
which destroyed that fomous play
house, it was cancelled, and,
thanks to the energy of our genial
manager, Mr.. Loeb, Opelousas
theater-goers will have the oppor-
tunity of witnessing one of the
greatest and most popular plays
that ever held the boards of San
doz Opera House.
Seats are now on sale at the
Haas-Littell Drug Store, and the
prices are: Orchestra chairs, $3.50;
parquette, 81.

SPECIAL ENGAGEMENT OF
THE kILTIES

The Kilties, Canada's famous
Scotch-Canadian Band, recently
made a tour of forty-eight weeks
in Canada, United States and
Mexico, during which time they
covered $4,000 miles. Everywhere
they were greeted with the great
est enthusiasm, their playing be-
ing conceded to be second to no
other band. Return engagements
are always requested, and the ff-
teenth tour, on which they are
just entering, will include Mexico,
where this unique organization
created a furore. Not only does
the Band give concerts of the high
est quality, but the male choir
which it carries renders Scotch
ballads in an artistic manner, and
the champion dancer and bag
piper, Mr.. Frazer, adds much to
the entertainment.
The Band will be heard at San
doz Opera House on Friday, Feb.
21st (both matinee and night,
and will appear in full uniform,
headed by the giant d~rum-major,
Mr.. Donald Mccormack. This is
the first opportunity, for some
to hear the greatest Cana
dian band, and will doubtless be
by all who enjoy
the best music. To play to stand
room only is not an uncommon
thing for the Kilties, who have
won their way to a secure position
in the hearts of the people of the
seven countries which they have
visited during their existence as a
band.
The Band is under the leader
of Mr.. Albert Cook.
Remember the day and date
Friday, Feb. 21st.

Sugar refiners of this State and,
in fact, of the whole country are

This will be a year of politics.
We have just passed over the pri-
mary for state, parochial and ward
officers. Many of them failed in
election, and must run it over on
Tuesday, Feb. 18th. Then follows
the state election in April, and in
November all the judges and dis
trict attorneys, and the congress
men must be selected. At this
same election the constitutional
amendments must be considered
by the people. If the general public

IRREGULARITIES AND FRAUDS

In an election, such as was held
in Louisiana, irregularities should
be expected for which all due al
lowance should be made. Any
man, even beyond the average in
telligence, is liable to mistakes and
errors, and irregularities which
would not invalidate an election,
but frauds should receive atten-
ton.
From New Orleans is reported
frauds, Of some boxes having more
ballots than voted, of men being
dead for years having been voted.
For all such offences the law is
plain and direct. and there
should be no wasting of sentiment
on such scroundrels.
Any man who will scheme and
carry out such scroundrelism
should be consigned to the peni-
tertiary.
The highwayman who will sur
prise his victim and compel to
stand and deliver at the point of
a pistol is a gentleman compared
to an election fraud.
The election fraud will ever be
in evidence at elections until the
frauds are checked by consigning
the frauds to a term in the peni-
Caucasian.

LUMBER CUT

More lumber was cut in the
United States last year than III
any other year in it's history. The
enormous amount of 81, Isl 1876
board feet was produced, andethe
mill value Of this was 1921, 151,388
In addition, there were produced
11,85S,260, 900 shingles, valued at
1924, 155, 555, and 3,812,8 07, 900,
iath, valued at $11,490,5 $40. Qa
the whole, it is safe to say that tie
present annual lumber cut of the
United States approximates forty
billion feet, and that the total mill
value of the lumber, lath and shin
giles each year produced is not less
than $500, 000, 900. These figures
give some idea of how vast is the
lumber industry and how great
is the demand for it's products.
A glance at the kinds of lumber
produced shows very clearly the
passing of white pine and oak, one
of the greatest softwood and the
other the greatest hardwood which
the forest has ever grown. Since
1899 the cut of white pine has
fallen off more than forty per cent,
while that of white oak has fallen
off more than thirty-six per cent.
Today yellow pine leads all other
woods in amount cut, while Dou-
glas fr-and this will be a surprise
to many-comes second. Since
1899 the cut of Douglas fir has in
creased 1856 per cent. Louisiana is
the foremost yellow pine State,
with Texas, Mississippi and Ark
ansas following in order. Washing
ton produces by far the greatest
amount of Douglas fir.
A comparison of the lumber
producing States shows that since
1899 there have been many chan
ges in their relative rank. Wash (
ington which in 1899 stood sixth,
now leads, while Wisconsin, which
eight years ago led all others, is
now third. In the same period
Oregon, Louisiana, Mississippi, ,
Idaho and California made great
strides as lumber-producing States {
though, on the other hand, the {
amount produced in Michigan, :
Wisconsin, Minnesota, Georgia, ,
Kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri, I
Indiana and Ohio fell off any, E
where from Twenty-Five to fifty /,
four per cent. !
The highest-priced native $
woods are walnut, hickory and t
ash, and the cheapest are larch |
and white fir. From the fact, how
ever, that since 1899 the average
increase in the price of lumber has
been forty-nine per cent, it will
not be long before cheap woods are
few and far between.
Figures upon the lumber cut of
the United States in 1906 are con-
tanned in Circular 122 of the
Forest Service, which can be
had upon application to the For
ester, U. S. Department of Agri-
culture, Washington. D. C.

country should not be sacrificed for
party, nor country and party sacrificed
for personal interest But what does
this mean9 Does it mean that we
should go through the lists of the can
didates and vote only for our personal
friends on it7 Hardly. Party politics
is like baseball or boat racing, the
working together for victory. But it
must be victory with honor. 1t might
happen that there could be a man on
a ticket put there through an oversight
or through trickery, for whom no re-
spectacle man could vote. Of course,
there could be some such a man on
the ticket that to elect him would be
worse than having to fOrego the CO.

course, there is a possibility of going
