out the day was good and the school
proved very profitable to all who at
tended. At the exercises last evening
105 candidates were received into the
organization, the initiatory work being
conducted by Harmony camp drill team
of Moline. The team presented fancy
drills also.

ed at that time a prize of $40 to the
camp in the county which secured the

Another Contest Proposed.
In order to continue the work of Sc

oily when there is no Justice for the
charge at ALL This assumption of pc
culiar honesty manifested by class
declaration and the stirring up of class
spirit is something that ought to be
deprecated in our republic or else it
will lead to great danger.
ITO our socialistic friends, who are
engaging in decrying our present insti-
tuition, could furnish a good deal bet
ter ground for their complaints than
they give themselves. / have talked
about this before, and 1t is not a new
theme with me. think il they were to
object to our administration Of justice
and the delays in it, arising from the
traditional methods pursued in courts,
by which the man with the longest
purse has the advantage, because the
litigation is drawn out, they would be
getting, as the children say, pretty
warm in reaching a subject that will
bear full discussion and on which we
shall have TO have very decided reform.
Must Reform the Courts.
I'VE have got to arrange it SO that
cases are decided promptly. What is
driving you merchants out of courts
into arbitration? II is the cost of liti-
cation. Now, we ought to have courts
that can dispose of the business
promptly and end litigation"
In speaking of the Mississippi river
he said:
THE government has done a grea.
deal and its engineers have acquired
a great deal of information with refer
ence TO the economical expenditures
of money to make 1t a great highway
of commerce, and it is coming. 1t
may not come, gentlemen, with the
speed that you hope for. 1t is not COM
ing next year or the year after, but 1t
is working along so that in time you
can get any depth of water you
choose"

To Establish Public Library.

A grand lawn fete and open-air festival
will be given On the grounds of MIR. and
Mrs. F. B. Lemanns residence at the cor
ner of Houmas street and Nichols avenue
on Monday, Oct. 81. for the purpose of
raising funds to establish a public circu-
iating library in this city. The festival
will open at o'clock in the afternoon,
and among its numerous attractions will
be number of handsomely decorated
booths where refreshments and articles
of various kinds, such as flowers, aprons,
Hallowe en- novelties, ETC.. will be sold by
bevy of pretty young women. The pub
lie is cordially invited to attend the en-
tertainment and patronize its various
features as literally as possible, thus in
surfing the success of the library move
ment for the benefit of which the delight
full affair is to be given.
The library has already been established
in temporary quarters in the ground floor
of the Bank of Ascension building, and is
open to the public between the hours of 8
o'clock a. m. and p. m. daily. A large
number of books have been donated by
various parties, and further contributions
of this character are earnestly solicited.
The privileges of the library are abso-
lutely free except in cases where books
are taken away to be read, when fee of
ten cents per week will be assessed. Per-
sons who cannot afford this modest ex-
pense will be cheerfully extended the
facilities of the library free of all charge.
1t is intended to organize an association
to conduct the library after sufficient
amount of funds has been realized from
the forthcoming entertainment to insure
the success of the movement, and the
plans of the promoters contemplate the
ultimate establishment of a library here
which will compare most favorabiy with
any institution of similar character to
be found in the state outside of the larger
towns and cities
Donaldsonville has long stood in need
OF just such an acquisition as Mrs. Lemann
and her earnest co-laborers propose to
furnish, and every progressive citizen of
the community should deem it pleasant
duty to cooperate with these public-spir-
tied and patriotic ladies in furthering the
success of the commemorate movement
which they have inaugurated.

IS NEW ORLEANS Asleep

An open rupture exists between the
rice farmers of Louisiana and Texas on
one han6-or large proportion of them at
least-and the New Orleans rice milIers
and dealers on the other. and unless there
is some change of policy on the part cf
the city people and genuine effort to re-
move or palliate the causes of complaint,
there would seem to be imminent danger
of a decadence and diversion of their rice
trade, just as there has been of their cot
ton, sugar, boots and shoes. wholesale
dry goods and clothing lines.
The country parties to the pending con-
troversy contend that not only is the New
Orleans market manipulated to their dis
advantage in the matter of prices, but
that scarcely any disposition is exhibited
there to cooperate with the producers
and country millers in advertising the
merits of rice as an article of food and
thus encouraging greater consumption of
and increased demand for the wholesome
grain, with the natural consequence of
better and steadier prices.
The Rice Association of America, with
headquarters at Crowley, La, has just
printed statement of the contributions
received to its second years advertising
fund, which shows that of the total sum,
81 ,255.46, received to Oct. /, 1910. only
S62 came from New Orleans This pitiful |
mite was contributed by three firms, all
in the cotton and commission business,
and not single New Orleans rice dealer
or miller appears in the list of contribu-
tors.
The Chief has received communication
from prominent and Well-informed citi- 7
zen of this community, describing the
modus operandi of combination OF trust |
formed by city millers for the purpose of
the prices and movement of |
rice from the river parishes, and the as
'ertion is made that discrimination is
Dracticed between "Calcasieu rice and I

CANDIDATE REnEY WITHDRAws.

George j. Kelley of Clinton, Republican
nominee for CONGRESSMAN from this dis
trict, has made public announcement
of his withdrawal from the field, which
leaves Hon. R. C. Wickliffe, present in
cumbent, unopposed for reelection.
Mr.. Kelley says that inability to make
canvass of the district. coupled with
other obstacles beyond his control, rem
dered his retirement imperative. He re-
turns thanks for the many offers of sup
port received from all parts of the district,
and facetiously remarks that his friend
Mr.. Wickliffe can doubtless be depended
on in the future as heretofore to furnish
the goods when the Republican party
needs them
This is good-hum ored dig at the sit
ting member for voting in favor of pro-
tective tariff on the things in which his
constituents are interested, and Mr.. Wick
life can well afford to take the sally in
the same light vein. There's many a
truth told in jest, and there is no reason
why any offense should be taken at the
modicum of fact contained in MIR. Reiley's
little joke.
Everybody knows that the platform of
the Democratic party is opposed in toto to
the protective tariff principle, and that
when Louisiana Democratic members of
congress vote for such a tariff they do SO
in contravention of their party's tenets.
Everybody knows. too, that the people of
Louisiana who are concerned in the well
fare of the sugar. rice, lumber and other
industries that receive and need protec-
ton, Democrats though they call them
selves, favor the continuance of that pro-
lection and expect their congressman to
vote for it.
Why mince words or shy at mere
names? Louisiana as well as the Repub-
lican party needs the goods of protec-
ton, and we can all join jolly George
Kelley in expressing the confident hope
that happy Bob Wickliffe will continue TO
do his part toward supplying the demand.
The Chief speeds the parting candidate
and welcomes the one who remains.
