LOUISIANA AMONG
THE PROGRESSIVE
Some Things the Pelican Com
monwealth Contributed to
Nations Wealth.

Coz. Blanchard. replying t.
the following question, pro
pounded by the New York World
what has your state done during
the past twenty-five years to make
America the greatest of nations?'
says:
Louisiana has. through the
pluck, energy and enterprise OF
her people. resuscitated herself in
that period of time from the
wreck and ruin of war and recon
struction and placed herself
abreast. in industrial and com.
mercial development. in wealth
and prosperity, with the average
commonwealth of the American
Union.
Louisiana produces 1000, 900
bales of cotton annually, and
besides this she produces 50 per
cent of all the cane sugar raised
in the United States and more
rice than any other state in
the Union. One county in Lou
isiana raises more rice than all of
South Carolina.
Louisiana heads all the states
of the Union in the acreage value
her crops raised. This is a census
fact.
"The area of the state is 28,-
600, 900 acres and as yet only
about 100000 acres are in cul-
tivation. So we are doing all the
above on less than one-fourth of
the states area.
Louisiana has the greatest area
of long leaf pine of any state in
the Union and has more cypress
timber than any other state.
"She is now the second lumber
producing state in the Union
rlnking next to the State of
Washington.
Louisiana is the coming seat
of the oyster industry of the
United States. Her tidal bot
toms, the home of the oyster,
embrace 4 $500, 900 acres, a greater
area of oyster waters than have
Maryland and Virginia combined.
"Louiaiana has within her
borders the greatest : sulphur
mine the world has ever seen. 1t
is taken out of the earth SO per
cent pure.
"She has fuel oil and natural
gas fields unsurpassed in the
United States. Some of her oil
wells have q record of 5000, 900
barrels of oil each.
"Louisisna has the greatest
deposit of pure rock salt in the
Western Hemisphere. 1t comes
up SO per cent pure.
"Mnch more might be said of
the resources of the state. but /
don't wish to tax your credulity.
I'VE were the second state in
construction in 1907.
1--WE have more pavigsble riv-
srs than any other state and q |
greater length of navigabIe water
ways than any.
ut is by exploiting and deyel-
'ping her resources in y way that |
. rapidly pushing her to the
'front.' that Louisiana is doing
more than her share in making
America the greatest of nations.

WOMAN WAS
GIVEN POISON
So Declares the Coroner of
Crawford County.
MRS. CLARENCE SIPE
Believed to Have Met with
Foul Play.
Husband is Arrested When lie Re b.
turns From the Funeral on c oarge
of Causing Her Death.

The Gallon Inquire OF Wednes-
day contains the following rather
startling information concerning the
death OF Mrs. Clarence Sipe, the wife
of a brakeman. The remains OF
Mrs. Sipe were inferred in the Gale
donia cemetery Wednesday after
noon and according to the Inquire
some very interesting things are to
follow her demise.
"The Sipe case Is assuming pro-
portions that will tend to unravel
the mystery surrounding the death
of Mrs. Clarence Sipe on last Sun
day morning. The coroner has
gone far enough to find that the
deceased came to her death by gas
tritis Of the stomach, caused by
some unknown poison. He will in
cur no more expense in the matter,
for the prosecuting attorney Of the
county will take the case before
the grand jury next week and the
same witnesses will have to be
subpoenied, making double expense.
"The chemist TO whom was sent
the stomach will make large
charge for the analysis and mas
much as the two physicians who
administered to the dead woman
did prescribe strychnine, the analy-
sis may not be Of much avail There
is so much additional evidence It r.
claimed to support the theory that
the lady was poisoned with crimi-
nal intent that the authorities feel
justified in making an arrest Of the
husband and this will be done.

AGE NO OBSTACLE
TO KATHERINE MANION
Each Morning She Walks to
Her Church.
Is One of the Most Iuteresiei in
the Mission Of the Dominican
Fathers.

Perhaps there is no person in the
city 50 much interested in the mis-
sion of the Dominican Fathers, which
is being he'd at St. Mary's church
this week as Mrs. Katherine Man.on,
aged lightweight yeras, resident
Of Olney avenue. Mrs. MIanion never
fails to attend every session Of the
mission and early in the Dnorning,
she makes her way to the church,
far as it is from her home. She
will not consent to riding on the
street cars to church fearing that
she may be injured.
Mrs. Nlanion was born in ireland
and since coming to this country has
been one of the most devoted mem
bers of the local Catholic church.
Although very aged and somewhat
infrm her highest object Is to attend
church regularly, and each morning.
for the morning mass at 8 o'clock,
she makes her way to the church and
home again.
The mission of the Dominican
Fathers is an event in the church
life which Mrs Nlanion cannot often
be privileged to enjoy and this is
fully realized by the aged lady She
takes pride in her ability TO attend
the mission and she highly enjoys
every service.

Rev. NlcAfee is an attitude of mind,
temper of thought. The home
missionary in America is world
citizen, for here meet the races of the
world to epitomize the race, here is
Gods laboratory where He is in
process of making the final man.
lone finger that points to America
as Gods laboratory is the highly
accelerated speed with which men
grow rich, fabulously rich. We
know and hang our heads in shame at
the present financial fasco. The Di
vine economist did not provide for
the colossal waste of the times, the
waste of the great cities. Some say
God made the country and man made
the city, but | say God made also
the city-made II as the browning
glory of achievement and we sin il
we supinely endure the preventing of
its forces into degeneration and degra-
dation. To avoid this we must bring
men into the essential democracy OF
the commonwealth Of God The
church OF class can never be Gods
church, and the ramshaekle mission
house on the baeS street is not the
goal Of the common people. America
is the Divine laboratory and we vi
tiate and retard the forces of demon
stration if we allow class distinction
and denominational pegs to change
our angle of vision.
"The great world problem of today
is TO demonstrate before God and man
what we mean by the Kingdom of
God "
Following Mr.. McAfee's scholarly
address, Mr.. McGarah related some
personal experiences Of home mission

mining district in southern Cali
fornia. He designated San Fran
cisco as the wickedest city in all the
Anglo-Saxon world--due to its re-
moteness in early days from the
field of Christian endeavor. In con-
clusion he declared, at isn't what a
man was, but what he is now and
what he hopes TO be in the future
that makes him acceptable in the
sight of his Master. /"
