LOUISIANA FARM LANDS CON
GRFSS

The Caucasian has been complimented
with interesting data furnished by w.
A. Jones of Shreveport, secretary of
| the Louisiana Farm Lands Congress,
whose recent convention was held in
Alexandria
The purpose of this organization is
to place Louisiana and its resources
prominently before home seekers, who
know little of the State and its wonder
full advantages.
Of what value are acres of remark
able fertility if they remain idle and
unproductive? There are millions of
such acres throughout the State, upon
which there should be settled thrifty
men and women, home seekers, whose
toll would yield millions of revenue and
give a stimulus of prosperity to every
interest in the State.
Such movement, as contemplated by
the Louisiana Farm Lands Congress,
may be slow in achievements, but if
pressed intelligently, must lead to the
most satisfactory result
It is significant to say that the rail-
roads have evinced their readiness to
cooperate, in giving this land project
the widest publicity and in the encour-
agement of desirable settlers on these
lands.
Another significant feature, which is
very encouraging, is that men, owners
of large estates, who heretofore have
been opposed to dividing their acres into
small farms for sale or for lease, are
among the most enthusiastic of this land
What is needed are not only diversi-
fed industries in the cities and towns of
the State, but farmers, the producers of
wealth. A thickly, settled country, of
good farmers, is guarantee of pros
perity to the cities and the towns.

JUDGE L. E. HALL
Endorsed by the Bar of Monroe as Can
didate for Supreme Court Justice.


Monroe News Star: At meeting OF
the members of the bar of Monroe, held
at 10 o'clock Thursday morning, the
10Th day of May 1910, the following
resolutions were unanimously adopted
Whereas, Hon, L. E. Hail, distil1-
guished citizen of this city, has an
nounced his purpose to become a candi-
date for the position of Associate Jus
tice of the Supreme Court of Louisiana
to succeed Mr.. Justice Land, whose term
will soon expire, therefore be it re-
solved:
That the members of the bar of the
city of Monroe, from long and intimate
association with Judge Hall as a man, a
lawyer and judge, and thorough
knowledge of his fitness for the position
to which he aspires, declare him to be
eminently fitted for Associate Justice of
the Supreme Court of Louisiana, not
only on account of his abilities as a
lawyer and judge, which he has de-
monstrated by several years of judicial
service, but also for those fundamental
elements of character so necessary in
judge.
That Judge Hall has served the peo-
pie of this State as district judge, and
later as judge of the Circuit Court of
Appeals, of which court he is now
distinguished member, with signal abil-
ity and faithfulness and loyalty to the
highest and noblest ideals of judicial
office, and that temperamentaIly he is
pre- minently fitted for the judicial
function.
That as a lawyer and as an expositor
of legal principles, Judge Hall is a Wig
orous, conservative and profound, and
the members of this bar, with whom he
has been so closely identified personally
and professionally for these many years,
desire in this manner to emphasize and
give publicity to their unanimous ap-
prevail of his candidacy.

ANTI-SALoON- IEAGI1E

The leaders of the Anti Saloon
League have announced that the time is
not propitious for making an effort to
secure Statewide prohibition at this
session of the General Assembly. 1t is
not likely, therefore, that any drastic
anti-liquor laws will be passed. This
policy, doubtless, will be approved by
thinking prohibitionists throughout the
State. Of course, radicas will be found
here and there, but their number will
be too small to disturb the quiet that
prevails in prohibition circles.-Mans-
field Journal.
All of which is true, but should the
saloon want a fight the ants are ready
for the fray.

THE WORLDS SUNDAY SCHOOL
CONVENTION.

The Atlanta Constitution says: One
of the most cosmopolitan religious gath
erings which ever met in the United
States will be assembled for the next
few days in Washington. It consists of
delegates representing the Protestant
Sunday Schools of ifty-one countries.
These 1000 delegates are gathered to-
gether to compare notes on Sunday
school work throughout the world, They
represent upward of $4,000 pupils, chill
dren and those of larger growth.
This public demonstration of faith in
Christianity and zeal in the cause of the
spiritual regeneration of the world is
eommendabIe. 1t brings sharply before
those who are prone to grow careless
and indifferent to spiritual matters the
inspiring example of those who realize
in religion an inspiring, breathing, life
giving force.
One feature of the exercises will be a
parade through the streets of the ma
tionaI capital of mems Sunday school
classes. 1t is an adaptation of an effec-
tive political custom, and its spirit is
that which filled the Crusaders of old.
Every device that will make men bet
ter and more upright, that will improve
and elevate social intercourse and spread
the principles taught by the Christian
religion, is to be encouraged.
The example of an international gath
ering of Sunday school workers is a
helpful object lesson

others in the State are SO inclined, but

It IS taxation contrary to the true prin-

We are opposed for the reason we
do not feel the populaee, especially in
this section, will reap value received.
We are opposed for we believe a
large majority in this section are OPP
posed, and are bitterly opposed, not
only from principle, but are already tax
burdened
We are opposed because we contend
the country will not reap one-half the
benefit as ii would to expend one-half
the amount in advertising.
We are opposed for we believe a
question of this nature, if forced on a
people, should be left TO the different
parishes to settle
We are opposed for we believe the
present Legislature IS without any war
rant or authority to impose such a tax
on their constituents without first ascer-
tanning their views, for the reason no

CANDIDATE For CONGRESS.

With his formal announcement as a
candidate for Congress, T. H. Nc
Gregor has resigned his position as ed
itor of the Richland Democrat and as
one of the directors of the publishing
company, for two reasons: First, it is
not proper that | should actively edit a
paper during campaign in which am
personally interested. Second, it would
be impossible for me to do my duty to
the paper and its constituents while |
am IN the midst of heated campaign
which are con1mendable.
The Richland Democrat, under the
guidance of Mr. McGregor, has devel-
oped into one of the best of weeklies
published in the State It has always
been in line with Democratic teachings
and principles.
AS already stated in the Caucasian,
Mr.. McGregor is the opponent of Hon.
Joseph E. RansdelI. A lively contest
may be anticipated.

TELLS BALLINGER TO QUIT
Senator Crane Goes to Minneapolis With Tacit Instructions
 From Taft.

Beverly, Mass, Aug. 3.-Senator Winthrop Murray Crane of Massachu- setts met Secretary of the Interior Ballinger at Minneapolis, and, acting on the initiative of leaders in the Re- publican party, with the tacit acquies- cence of President Taft, suggested that the cabinet officer tender his resignation before October l.
 From a source of the highest au- thority here comes this explanation of the accidental meeting of the Massachusetts senator and the secre- tary of the interior.
 Senator Crane, several days ago, made mysterious visit to Beverly. At that time the news was that he was going West 'on a mission" the nature of which was kept secret
 Great pressure of late has been brought to bear on President Taft to hint to the head of the department that he should retire. On the ground of extreme political expediency, lead CTS in the party got together, selected Senator Crane as their spokesman, se- cured the tacit acquiescence from President Taft, and the Massachusetts solon put the proposition to Secretary Ballinger.
