Governor.
The paper in question, under date
81 the 10th, says:
Baton Rouge is getting echoes OF

baby. of the stream Of callers who
will discuss the fight with the Gov
error.
The election to select the seat OF
government of the new parish is not

If November, 1909, but the fact that
the election day is some distance Oft,
has not prevented the towns from an
nouncing their intention and desire Of
capturing che site for the court house.
According to the act providing for
she creation Of Evangeline parish,
Governor Sanders is to name FIVE
commissioners from the new parish,
who are to receive the returns Of the

Meaihs Ter Criminal Libel.

Father Holtgreye is q Catholic
priest, who came to Plaquemine some
years ago, and is pastor Of the local
church there.
Since his advent in that section be-
has become somewhat notorious.
First he came TO light as a reformer
by mixing up in the G~ubernatorial
campaign, for which it is said he was
disciplined by the Archbishop.
He then went into the newspaper
business, and his aim seems to be to
purify the politics Of Sweet her
ville.a While engaged in this task
be charged in his paper that Chas. 2.
Schwing, a brother Of Judge Schwing,
and a rival newspaper man, was a
coward, intimating at the same time
that he was also a murderer.
A charge for criminal libel was
made against the priest-editor, and
on last Friday he was convicted and
sentenced to pay q fine Of $50 or
serve three months in the parish Jail.
L. A. Delacroix, the business
manager Of The paper Of which
Father Holtgreye is editor, was
acquitted, because, said the presiding
Judge, the business manager is not
responsible for the expressions Of the
paper, the editor Of a newspaper be-
ing the responsible party.

EXPENSES And REVE-
NUES Of GAME and
FISH COMMISSION

President r. NJ. Miller Of the state
game commission Wednesday gave
out a statement Of the income and
expenditures for the six months end
ing May 81, 1909.
The total income from hunters Ii
censes and licenses from fishermen
since the commission organized in
September last is $4,000. OF this
sum $4,000 came from the hunters,
not more than $500 being paid by
non-residents. The licenses paid by
fishermen were $1,000. Mr.. Miller
is disappointed over the income from
nonresident hunters.
The expenses for six months ag-
gregating $38,171, apportioned as
follows:
Rent, $40; postage $I96; printing,
1925; boats S1249; Office fixtures,
$576; salaries Of Office employees, in
GLIDING the president, $4546; com
missioners' Expenses, 1911; warden's
salaries $26,068; wardens' expenses,
$3301.
The salaries Of the wardens are
now $75 per month. This includes
1888 per month for expenses which
are limited. 1t was found that some
wardens spent much more than this
sum and rendered expense bills. The
average was about SIS per month 50
the commission now RENTS the war
den 1888 monthly for an expense
account and restricts the expense to
this sum.
The income from fines collected
has been small owing to the expense
of convictions. The parish authori-
ties levy heavy tribute in costs ard
these must be deducted from the
fines collected, leaving US a small
balance,
Mr.. Miller says that there will be
issued seining and netting licenses
for the parishes in lower Louisiana,
but there viii be no licenses for sein-
ers and netters in the parishes in the
northern portion Of the state, that is,
the extreme northern portion Of
Louisiana. In the southern portion
the waters are larger and many more
people make a living by seining and
netting than in the upper portion Of
the state.

AFTER POLITICAL HYBRIDs
Hass-Msetlng Held at HamsF Protesting 4
aalBst Louisiana COnarsssmen's Vote
with Republicans.

The citizens Of Homer, parish seat
III Claiborne Parish, are the first to
voice a concerted protest against the
action of the Louisiana Representa-
aves and Senators who have repu-
dated the Democratic policy Of q
tariff for revenue only by their
votes in Congress. At a mass meet
ing held Friday evening a committee
was appointed TO draft resolutions
condenming the Louisiana delegation
for their course with respect to the
tariff, Says Che Shreveport Times, edi-
toraliy.
It Is quite likely that this will have
the effect Of stirring up the voters
81 the Fifth Congressional District,
FIJI, while the protest is aimed at all
che unembers Of Congress from this
State, it will bear directly on The
conduct Of Congressman Ransdell.
Iii. RanadelI has been severely con
damned for his tariff speech in the
House a few weeks ago. In that
speech Mr.. RansdeIl took occasion
so say that he believed the South
would eventually endorse the protect
i've policy Of the Republican party
and be confessed at che same time
that he was leaning toward the policy
himself. With respect to lumber he
vent further than the Payne bill,
stating that he favored the Dingley
rate Of So a thousand on lumber,
whereas the duty was placed . 81 a
thousand in che Payne bill.
Both Of the papers published at
Homer have criticised Mr.. Ransdell
and the other members Of Congress
from Louisiana who voted with che
Republicans on several OF the tariff
schedules, The Herald, q new paper,
il edited By Charles j. KennerlB and
its arrangement Of The Fifth Dis
trict Congressman has been consis-
tently severe. The Guardian-Journal
is edited BY Hon. Charles W. Seals,
former United States District Attor-
ney, and it, too, has roundly censured
Mr.. Ransdell. The Leader, published
at Rustop, has also repudiated Mr..
Ransdelfs course on the tariff ques-
ton.
When the people become aroused
over d public question Of this kind
and when they start out to make
themselves heard. the pnblic man
who thinks he Is not answerable to
them has another guess coming to
him. The Homer mass meeting, it is
til he trusted, viii have a Christening
effect. North Louisiana is Democrat
il and it must remain true to DEM
0Cratic principles.

The above is The assertion Of DR..
W. R. Lambert, State Superintendent

Dr. Lambert thought conditions ii

any hope for earlier prohibition, but

Dr.. Lambert minated chat the

strong enough to compel New Or
leans to join the prohibition ranks.
By this perhaps is meant that the prog
hibition sentiment ii The country
will be sufficiently strong to make the
New Orleans ward bosses and politi-
clans either join the prohibition ranks
for the election Of their Governor, q
keep q wise mouth closed.
Il is plain that the prohibitionists

child can walk we'll and speak a few
necessary French words, he should be
placed in a stateroom. next to a
private bath, and Sent to Paris. 9th
ers feel that he must naturally lose
much at this age, and that the proper
time is between five and six, when
as an American-he has reached his

Probably the ideal age is about four.

money away to invest 1t in these AMI
mals. Why do people continue to buy
and sell such cows? The only safe
and sane way is to get a good bull
and raise the best heifer calves for
home use, and If these calves are
raised right your profit will be
double over the method Of buying
"second-handed" cows. The method
Of buying ordinary COWS on the mar
ket is like buying lottery tickets; you
may win but the chances are . hun
bred to that you will lose.
A great many dairymen neglect
their dry cows, and do not allow them
even a maintenance ration. About all
that some dry cows get is the free
run of a straw stack, which Is not
sufficient. Just how much feed a dry
cow should have depends largely
upon her condition. She should have
a little food, rich in protein. such as
oil meal, wheat bran or brewers
grains. One or two pounds of such
grain along with some silage and pea
hay or sofa beans hay, will make q
good ration for a COW in medium
flesh. A pregnant COW should have
plenty of nourishment, and should be
in fairly good flesh when she colors.
This enables her to start OF with a
good flow of milk, and will always do
better during the whole period.
