RIVER IMPROVEMENT BONDS,


Who can bring forward a good
not issue bonds to improve the rivers
and harbors? Not on the theory OF
economy; 1t would save hundreds of
millions of dollars and multiply trade
so that we would have the money al
back in a few years.
IL the streams are worth improving
at all, they are worth improving at
once. Why should not We have the
advantage Of them? At the rate the
work has been going on 1t would not
be finished in a thousand years, ana
the annual waste has been millions.
Until the real river interests Joined
hands with the government engineers
in demanding reform, the standing
answer at Washington to the ques-
ton, "When is a river navigable?"
was when it is in a doubtful dis
trict."
II the government Issues bonds
and undertakes the improvement OF
internal waterways Systematically,
the Whole sum will be placed at the
disposal Of some executive depart
ment and the graft feature of the an,
nual appropriations will be elimi-
mated The work OF making the
Ohio, Tennessee and Cumberland
rivers navigable the year around then
would proceed without cessation until
completed. In times of war the ma
ton incurs great expense and issues
bonds lavishly. Is it not preferable
TO direct our sinews to the tasks Of
improvement?
The withdrawal of the rivers and
harbors money from the congres-
sional s,ush fund will be another
step, following the removal of fourth
class postmasters from politics. in the
eradication Of the slick politician.
from congress. Slowly, but percepti-
bly, now, this country is emerging
from the period of p.under. Bye
and bye, our leading citizens will be
working for a living.

Good Results of Primary Elections.

Despite the defects in the state
primary law, the Iberville Senti
mel sees already the following
good results:
"Some of the most reprehensible
political trusts in Louisiana have
been overthrOwn since the primary
law has been in effect. 1t has been
demonstrated beyound the peradven-
ture of a doubt that when the people
are appealed to directly and are ad-
vised as to the issues presented for
their decision they can be depended
upon to reach the right conclusion.
in the recent primaries there were
candidates who either clandestinely or
openly claimed to have the support
of the administration" whatever
that may mean. 1t is an open secret
that George X. Favrot, Phanor Brea-
Zeale, .Overton Cade, Judge Allen OF
st. Mary and Judge c. K. Schwing of
IberVille, respectively candidates for
Congress, Associate Justice of the SUI
preme Court, Railroad Commissioner
and District Judges, were Administra'
ton men. Yet Robert G. Wicklitfe,
o. 0. Provosty, Shelby Taylor
O'Neil and Joseph E. Leblanc, Jr.,
also candidates for these respective
offices, won out to a man agains
those men who were alleged to have
the support of the administration.
"What does this mean? 1t mean
either one of two things, (D that tn
administration fast losing groun'
or ~ that the primary system has en-
tirely upset the calculations of tn
professional politicians the Stat

The l.efebyre Vote.

To add still more to Mr.. WICK
life's strength, the indications
are that he will receive the iarg-
er part of the vote that was cast
for Mr.. LefebVre.
This assertion comes as a nat-
ural conclusion under existing
circumstances. 1t is reasonably
evident that che only chance Mr.
Favrot has to win is to carry al
almost solidly the LefebVre vote
We doubt if he could do this even
with the assistance of Mr.. LIE
febvre. But Mr.. Lefebvre has
very justly refused to take any
further part in the second pr
mary than to vote for whichever
candidate he chooses, and Whlle
he has not declared his cholce
as a simple matter of opinion w
believe he will vote for Mr.. Wick
life. This belief is strengthen
ed by the inference that no ston
was left unturned in the effort t
induce Mr.. Lefebvre to thro'
his influence to Mr.. FaVrot, th5
being Mr.. Favrot's only chan'
: to win, and that Mr., LefeoVl
could have been induced to {
this had he not been inclined t
ward Mr.. Wickliife. st ian

Suggestions on How to Diversity.

The following clipped from the
Shreveport Caucasian applies as
we'll to this section as to North
Louisiana. Hence we quote:
"It is pleasing to note that B. w.
Marston Jr., of Red River, is hope
full man. Deploring the uncontrolla-
BILE losses sustained by farmers and
planters along the Red River valley,
as a practical man he suggests diver
siication in this wise:
"First-Cotton itself. Now ] want
to tell a little secret to the Red river
planters. Haven't you noticed that
there are spots on your place where
the cotton grows Off quickest, natures
soonest and seems to make crop
ahead of the weevils? Some say
that it is where the oak trees grew be-
fore the land was cleared, Every
plantation on the river has some OF
this character of land, that has some
thing in it's soil that makes cotton.
Plant this land in cotton and no other
Second Sugar cane will grow
here and as good as in the lower enc
of the State, but on account OF oul
shorter season in which to harvest
only one-third of our land could bt
applied to this crop, and central re
finery will have to be erected to car
for the grinding of it, which will re
ouire concert of action to organlz
such a movement.
''Third-I cleared $50 per acre o.
white black.eyed peas last year, and
believe pea or bean crop planted $
as to come on in our dry falls WI

the fall will make heavy oats and ca
} be threshed out and sold as they 90
the West, and then raise a pea Gro

"Fifth-Corn on our richest an
best lands will pay. !.

' land will pay. Five years from nc
