GREAT INTEREST Being
MANIFESTED IN
CLARION TRIP
Young Ladies Are Receiving
Votes Without Soliciting
Making Good Showing.


The Clarion wants it distinctly
understood that the names of the
young ladies' appearing IN the free
trip offer Of the Clarion have not en-
tered it Of their own motion. ID
some instances the young ladies have
not even solicited a Vote-friends
sending in their names voluntarily.
0f course there is little chance Of
any Of them winning a free trip to
Galveston depending solely on Volun-
tary votes. Those who hustle. will
get the plum. But the fact that
some Of them are being voted for
Withou we may say, their knowledge,
shows the great interest being mani
tested BY the people Of this country
in the free offer.
Many votes came 10 the past week
from parties far distant from Opel
ousas.
It is proposed TO send at least fifty
girls to Galveston, to spend 3 week
~ the delightful city, all expenses
paid. The terms are SO easy chat it
IS believed that at least that number
will receive the required number of
votes, with very little work.
The fact that Did as well as new
subscribers are included makes the
field broad, and places within reach
Of the hustler d cinch" on the
"trip.
The st. Landry Clarion has d State
wide reputation, and subscriptions to
It are very easily gotten.
We have not compiled the votes Of
the past week, but We can say that
they jumped up considerably. Next
week will appear a full compilation,
up to Thursday.

Mr.. Wilson outlined the character Of

should give the country on economic
problems. In this connection be said
In the first place we should wish
not merely to curb the trusts and
above all we should not wish to reg

wish to separate their whole action

interest, regarding them not as Oh.
jects In themselves but merely as
conYeniences ii our economic life and
development. Recent ~loopholes Of
legislation have looked too much like
q wholesale invasion BY the govern
ment itself in the field Of business
management. Our regulations Of pub
lic interests must be legal legislation
and not direct management. In the
second place il is clearly our duty To
take the government out Of the busi-
ness Of patronage, the business of
granting faYors and privileges, ar
ranging laws so that this or that Or
the other group Of me- may make

In the third place II is one Of the

to initiate such leforms, alike IN local

Congressman.

Many reasons for the Importation
Of African mammals for food pur-
poses and other uses were given
yesterday by Congressman 3. y

Of having persuaded Col. Roosevelt
to hunt lions, elephants, etc. ID the

tinent." Messrs. Broussard and Dn-
5guesne will remain here for several
days. Iii IS Mr.. Broussards idea ta
begin d campaign of education a. 20
the utility OF the proposed lmporta-
tions, and it is more than probable
that Capt. Duquesne will arrange e
deliver j series of lectures upon the
value of the African animals and the
various methods Id which they could
be made commercial factors.
Congressman Broussard said last
night at the Cosmopolitan Hotel, thai
he was certain the importation Of
hippopotami would result IN ines
mable good to Louisiana. He said
that it was his plan to use them %
consume the water hyacmths which
obstruct navigation and drainage

pared now to say what | think has
been the cause Of the increased cost
of meats, except-that the feef trust
and the refrigerator combines must
not be forgotten as factors. But
leaving out the consideration of the
artificial agencies, there are natural
questions to be looked into.
During the last few decades, ac-
cording ta statistics. the population
OF this country has been increased
about twenty per cent, and the meat
production has decreas d about thirty
six per cent. The question is grow
ing to be d serious one. In France
last year there were 10000 horses
slaughtered for human food and sold
as horse meat. Iii Germany the scar
city IS 80 great that last year thous-
ands Of horses and dogs were slangh-
tered for food. Here in America we
40 not want TO be forced to eat dogs
and Eorses. and there IS no necessity
for ii. III Africa there are I3I ami
mails that are xeellent FIR food, and
they can consume substances here
which are now useless and going 10
waste. In the case of the hippopota-
mus, for instance. it would consume
the thousands of tons of water bya-
cinths which are III our Southern
streams. These waters produce on
the average Of fifty tons of edible
matter To the acre, and all that ii
