The police jury at that meeting
Monday elected A. P. Resweber,
President; +. u. Power, Secretary ;
j. G. Bienvenu, Treasurer, and
elected the Banner official journal.
The police jury had no right to
appoint Judge Power as secretary
because he cannot hold two Offices.
He is justice of the peace and can.
not be secretary of the police jury.
The appointment of the official
journal is also illegal because the
law says that that appointment is
to be made at the July meeting.
But the police jury like the town
council care nothing for the law
or for economy. They favor their
friends at the public expense aud
in violation of law. How long
will the people endure such prac-
tice?

We understand that two organiza-

This coup d'etat was the new electoral
law. which was direct breach Of the
manifesto OF Oct. 80, 1905. and OF the
fundamental laws issued by the tsar
himself.
The October manifesto declared that
no law could have force without the
dumas consent, and further an
nounced that new electoral law ca
tablishing universal suffrage would be
submitted to the duma. The funda
mental laws declare equally categori
caify that no law can be passed with
out the dumas consent. Despite these
positive assurances the new electoral
law OF June 16 was issued by the
tsar's own authority and without even
being brought before the duma.
Despite this the manifesto OF the
same date declares that the October
manifesto and the fundamental laws
which are fiatly violated, remain In
tact. On one and the same day the
October manifesto and the funda
mental laws are declared TO be invio
late and at the same time to be not

ALFALFA WANTED.

j. NJ. Westgate of the Bureau of
Plant Industry of the Department of
Agriculture at Washington, spent
Thursday at the experiment station at
the college. Mr.. Westgate is making
a study of the alfalfa family and has
entire charge of this work for the gov
ernment His field covers the entire
country, but at the present time he
is devoting himself to the work in
states between the Canadian line and
the Texas panhandle. He went from
here to the station in Alma, Nebraska,
and will work south from there.
Mr.. Westgate stated that the main
object of his work was to discover
an alfalfa able to flourish in the cold
states. Such a discovery would go
a great way in solving the problem of
agriculture in the semi-arid districts
that are found in nearly all of the
North Central states. The present
commercial alfalfa is alright under
favorable conditions, but out of its
sphere it is worse than useless. In
this state the Department Of Agricul-
ture is especially interested in devel-
oping hardy strains which will be able
to withstand the severe conditions of
drouth and cold in the western part
of the state, west of the Missouri riv-
er, and the cold in the easern and more
humid portions.
Mr.. Westgate states that it is as
important to plant the seed at the
right time and to have the ground in
favorable condition as it is to have
the right kind of seed. In the western
part of the state it is essential that
ground by proper methods of cultiva-
ton, and in the eastern part care
must be taken to have ground that
is comparatively high and well drain
ed.
While here Mr.. Westgate devoted
his time to a careful examination of
the beds of alfalfa at the station and
he went over every foot of the half
dozen plats in hope of finding plants
that had developed along the line of
his ideas. Among the alfalfa at the
station is some that was grown from
seed secured by Prof. Hansen in 81
IBERIA two years ago. The Depart
ment is very hopeful that this will
produce satisfactory results and it is
being carefully watched. Mr.. West
gate received one-thrd of the seed
secured by Prof. Hansen on his last
Siberian trip, which he is experiment.
ing with at Washington and he ex-
poets to- get similar portion on the
return of the professor from his pres
ent trip. Mr. Westgate states that
the alfalfa that he raised from this
seed at Washington seems to behave
differently from that raised from the
same seed at the station here, and
he is very much interested in watch
ing the results in the two localities
SO many hundreds Of miles apart.
