Mr.. Mason Snowden, of the u. s.
Agricultural Department. and Mr..
Bedford +. Woods were callers at the
Chronicle office last Monday. Mr..
Woods has recently been appointed
Special Agricultural Agent for Grant
parish, in the place of H. L. Brian,
who was transferred to Arkansas.
These gentlemen will probably ap-
pear before the police jury next Sat-
urday und ask for an appropriation
oil $500 to help in the crop demon
stration work OF the government.
Wethink the police jury could hardly
appropriate a like amount to any
better advantage for the farmers of
Grant, and we hope they will give the
matter their hearty approval.

Democratic Chance to Control Congress.

Will the Democra is control the next
house of representatives? 1t will be
very surprisingi if they do not. as any
unbiased student of political affairs
will admit. There are 219 Republi-
cans and ITO Democrats in the pres
ent house. A loss of % seats to the
Republicans would give the Demo-
Gratis majority OF one vote. Twen-
ty Republicans hold their seats by
less than 1000 plurality, and there
are 16 more Republicans than Dem
ocrats who were elected by less than
1000 plurality. 1t will therefore be
seen that IA change of only 500 votes
in 20 districts and change of 1000
votes in 16 districts will give the
Democrats majority of seven in the
house OF representatives. Little less
than Il mifaclec can prevent the sweep
ing away of these small pluralities in
view of the great and growing revolt
i'm the Republican ranks. Theproph-
ecy OF Democratic honse next year
is far more conservative and logical
than would he the contention that
the Republicans will he able To main
tain control in the farr of widespread
public discomfort and disgust with
Republican policies.

propriate 5000 for crop demonstra-

stitution. When the bond matter was
first brought up some doubt was ex-
pressed as TO the ACCESSIBILITY Of the plan.
Certain legal members Of the board diff
fered. and the trustees decided TO re-
consider.
A member last night said: THE ques-
ton was raised at the inception OF the
plan for making the new mortgage as 10
whether there is a lien on the net free
assets OF the university because of the
money borrowed from the endowment

order to be on the safe side, the board
will carefully go over the entire matter

That a large response has not vet

of large contributions 10 the current ex-

PLEDGES ALL KEPT
SAYS WADE ELLIS
Reviews Legislation in an
Exhaustive Statement.

Wade Ellis. chairman of the Ohio Re-
publican Committee. who had hand In
framing the Republican national plat
form, gave out a statement last night
comparing the legislation Of the Congress
just ended with the promises contained
in the platform.
Mr.. Ellis is one Of President Tafts
close friends. and it is believed that the
President approved his statement.
I'VE need no other slogan in the cam
paign this year." said he, than to call
the roll Of these promises one by one
and point 10 their performance"
Ten Cardinal Issues.
Mr.. Ellis reviewed what Congress had
done on the tariff. on the postal savings
banks, on trusts and monopolies. on rail-
road regulation, on legislation in favor
Of employees. on the Bureau Of Mines.
on Statehood, on conservation, and one
or two other items, in all ten planks.
Mr.. Ellis said in conclusion:
These ten planks in the last Repuhli-
can platform constituted the chief prom
Uses upon which William H. Taft was
elected. Every one OF them has been
kept. The only pledge which provoked
any discussion in the last campaign, and
which has not yet been written into law,
Is the one concerning the Issuance of in
functions in the Federal courts. The
President stood squarely by his word 10
the people I'm this matter, and urged
Congress to pass law regulating injunc-
tons. The only reason II was not passed
was that there was developed in the
committees an irreconcilable division as
10 the terms of the measure. I have no
doubt that AT the next session OF Con-
gress this promise also will be redeemed
More Than 1t Promised.
but the Republican party has done
even more than 1t promised. II has
passed law for the publicity OF cam
paign contributions and expenditures, and
it has reduced the appropriations for 1911
below those for 1910. The phrase a billion
dollar Congress- can not now be truthfully
applied, for the appropriations which VIII
require actual drafts upon the national
treasury are only a little over s109,000,0o0
six weeks ago ii seemed that the
Democrats. for the first time in their
experience, would be able to charge that
the Republican party was not a party
OF performance, Now II looks as II we
are going 10 fight the campaign on the
old. familiar issue; the Republicans
standing for work and the Democrats
standing for words. the Republicans ma
king history, and the Democrats making
faces"
