New Orleans Tines Democrat: Ask

poll tax paid voting citizen.
Crowley Signal: Our Representatives
voted against the wishes of nine-tenths OF
their constituents, and they had no good
reason fer doing it except that Sanders
cracked the whip and they dared not dis
obey. Gov. Sanders has again demon
strated that he can do with his little Legis-
lature anything he wants to do, but he may
find that this pitiful little bunch of insists
does not really represent the people Of
Louisiana.
New Orleans States: In summary or
dering the suspension of the brutal cock
ing main which has been in progress at
Monroe Lieutenant Governor Lambremont
has manifestly acted in the interest of pub
lie decency and his course will be generally
commended. AS the result of the closing
of the main there has been grand exodus
Of sports from Monroe. 1t is to be hoped
they have shaken the dust of Louisiana
from their feet for good.
Mansfield Enterprise: A few days since
the Board of Pardons recommended that
Dave Dewitt, convicted bootlegger, be
pardoned, and he viii! probably be free in
few days. This was the most fragrant
and brazen violation of the prohibition law
that ever occurred in DeSoto Parish, and
his pardon is an outrage upon the law and
a disgrace to the community. He was
arrested for selling liquor in the town of
Keachie, and while denying that charge,
boasted of selling it at Gloster, and plead
guilty to two charges. There was not a
shadow of a mitigating circumstance, but
boastful defiance of the court and the
law. He was defended by Game War
den, and had the friendship of the political
powers that be, and hence he gees free,
when others that were convicted on mighty
slim evidence are working on the road.
We do not think Judge Sorrelle approved
this pardon, and if he did, he was imposed
upon. It is a disgusting piece of political
| favoritism.

A Southern MAGAZINE.

Six years have passed since we ventured
to publish magazine representative of the
South and West. To-day we stand alone
in the light of a successful and progressive
literary magazine, devoted exclusively to
the interest of the Southern and Western
people. The field which we represent can
not be covered by any other publication,
that IS why we stand on solid ground. We
are MISUNDERSTANDING the development OF
our Southern INDUSTRIES. We give the
people an opportunity to read of what is
being done to-day. This is brief outline
OF what the Taylor Trotwood Magazins is
doing. We are satisfied that this is the
best one dollar and fifty cent magazine
published, but we are not satisfied with our
mailing list. You may get other maya
zines for less than S1.50, but you can't pc,

In an address framed for publication in
Baton Rouge, the members of the Legis-
lature who refused to place their votes on
the Senatorship at the disposal of Governor
Sanders make this statement:
"We realize that defeat means nothing
more than delay, for this fight, waged
against no man, but against tyrannical
and brutal methods, is but the initial skir-
mish, which must result in many reforma-
tons when the battle is fought out, among
which we urge revision of all laws giving
the power of appointment to the Governor,
and we urge that committees demand that
all representatives to be selected to the
General Assembly shall pledge themselves
to such revision"
This means something!
/. Don't find fault with the capstone of the
building; reconstruct its rotten founda-
tons. Don't waste time denouncing the
office holders for exercising the powers you
have placed in their hands; but take the
power away from them.
The tyrant in Louisiana-the dictator
the enemy of popular government-is not
the Governor, but the Governorship. Re-
duce the army of Offices, take away the
enormous appointive power, wipe out the
useless commissions, and the dictatorship
will vanish. The place to begin is with
the Legislature, which has the sole power
of making the necessary reforms. In the
Legislature of 1912 Louisiana's need OF
strong men will be greater than in her
Congressional delegation or elsewhere in
her official corps.

Nathan c. schaeffer, Superintendent of
Public instruction of Pennsylvania coined
neat and appropriate phrase, particularly

their annual convention, that education
to-day consists of football, baseball, even
ing balls and highballs."

Louisiana Democrat
The American people will never take
kindly to the desire of Gen. Frederick Dent
Grant for compulsory military service be-
cause it is inconsistent, in conflict and
incompatible with the spirit, theory and
traditions of our republican government.
Separated by thousands of miles Of water
from other nations, we need a first class
navy for coast defense, but no standing
army.
When we want an army it can be raised
in the "twinkling of an eye" through the
modus operandi of the volunteer system.
That was demonstrated conclusively
during the Civil War, when each belligerent
soon had organized, drilled and in active
service the best army the world has ever
seen, before or since. General Grant only
occupies his present command because he
happens to be the son of his father. Had
he been the son Of any one else he never
would have attained the high rank which
is his in the United States Army o-day.
His father was also quite as much the
creature of accident and fortuitous circum-
stances as was his son, in following to it's
logical sequence his theory of attrition,
which had the effect of constantly aug
menting hisown army, while that of General
Lee was as constantly depleted and sworn
to FRAGILE" General Grant, ST., didn't
know what struck him at the battle of
Shiloh. and whatever victory was attained
by the Federal forces, questionable though
it be, was due not to General Grant, but to
the untimely death of General Johnston,
and the timely arrival upon the battlefield,
when Grant was badly defeated and his
forces routed and demoralized, of Gen. Don
Carlos Buell. with reinforcements amount-
ing to $4,000 fresh troops, who had not
hitherto been engaged in the battle.

CLOVER IS QUEEN.

A farmer VINO mas no clover growing
on his place at this season is giving
the world a very poor advertisement
of his progressiveness and enterprise.
It is getting to be common saying
that a good clover sol doubles the corn
yield following , and it IS another say
ing that every farmer ought to know
by heart that eff cotton in king,
then clover is queen" And as we have
said before, It is almost worth the cost
Of having just to feast the eye on the
lush greenness of a pretty clover field

spirits and make everything on the
place feel better from the youngest
calf to the farmer himself-Starkville

HOW TO FERT1LIzE CORN LAND.
>. 4. hNAFF,
Special Agent in charge.

In fertIizing corn, three things are
especially required: % humus, (2)
humus will enable the soil to hold the
water required and when the humus
comes from the stable manure or de
caying legumes, it will also supply the
large amount of nitrogen required by
corn for its best growth Other plant
foods besides nitrogen may be neces-
sary, but of first Importance is humus
If this humus be supplied through sta
BILE manure and legumes, so much the
better, for it Will then supply the see
0nd great need of the corn plant, nj
trogen. The right sort of humus,
then, will obtain the two greatest
needs of the corn plant, water and nj
trogen. IN short, how to fertilize
the corn crop is pretty nearly tol9 in
the one word, humus
A large, vigorous and rapidly grow
ing plant like corn must have an album
dant supply of water, and f there be a
deficiency of this for any appreciable
length of time the yield must suffer.
A slower and longer growing plant
like cotton, for instance, may be de
prived of water and other suitable
conditions for its best growth, for a
much longer time without so great a
permanent injury. This has been OBJ
served in the wonderful reeuperative
powers of the cotton plant after per
iods unsuited TO its growth. Corn has
no such "come out to it, and if de-

We have the following letter from
Messrs. Stone & Fort which we know
will prove interesting to our many
readers
''We have three blocks of alfalfa,
all sowed late in September, 1909
There is practically no difference in
the soil Of the three, but two blocks
were much better prepared than the
third. We began to cut on April DIST
and finished April 28th. From one
block we housed an average Of 1868
pounds per acre; from another block,
1924 pounds per acre; from the third
block, 1885 pounds per acre. From
our total % acres we cut 70,17O pounds
an average Of 1906 pounds per acre.
We expect to cut again between the
first and tenth of June, and expect to
get 80 tons, as against - the first
cutting. We are counting ON four
cuttings this season.
From our experience, extending over
six or seven years, we believe that
alfalfa can be grown proftably here.
We are also convinced that the yield
within reasonable limitations, depends
on proper preparation and handling,
and is thus largely within the grower 5
control.
We are getting good results from
pasturing stock and hogs on alsike, but

GET READY NOW TO MAKE
CHEAP PORK.

There are two facts that should be
Of peculiar interest to the Southern
farmer at this tine:
l. Live hogs are selling on the large
live stock markets Of the country at
or above cents n pound.
,. 1t has been demonstrated, time
and again, that hogs can be grown in
the South for from to 4 cents a pound
live weight.
These results have not been obtained
under especially favorable conditions;
but in such a way as any farmer who
viii read and think can easily dupli-
cate. In fact many Southern farmers
have produced hogs at 21A cents q
pound live weight, or less, ana are do
ing it every year. They get these re
suits almost regardless of the price Of
corn, because, while they feed some
corn, it forms a small part of the "a
ton upon which the hogs are grown.
Making pork economically can only
be done by growing crops for the hogs
themselves to gather and harvest

GOVERNMENT PRINTING.

A storm of protest has poured upon
Congress from all sections of the coun-
try in reference to the government
printing return cards on stamped en-
velopes. Every printer and country
editor is interested, and taxpayers are
Directing to paying for printing which
benefits only corporations and users of
envelopes in large quantities. When
the largest corporation in the world
the United States of America-does
printing at loss, contrary to the wish
es of the nation, it is regarded as a
menace to private rights. IL cOntinu-
Ell the practice WI put the private en-
velOpe manufacturer out of business,
and will seriously affect the trade of
those producing paper used in making
envelopes. An important avenue of
income is closed, for it is impossible
for smaller printing Offices to compete
against the encroachments Of n vast
government corporation, in whose print
ing establishments work can be done
free, owing to the simple fact that
their payroll met without charge to
the government Eliminate the pay
roll from any printing office, and work
could be done at fractional charge.
All trades allied to printing and pub
fishing are also affected Everyone

prived, in some measure, of legitimate
rights by manifestly unfair govern

if it is otherwise checked in is growth
for any appreciable length of time, the
injury is great and permanent. This
is especially noticeable on rather poor
lands; but less so on rich lands, where

form is repugnant to poplar ideas ot
government, and the people can see no
reason why large quantities of envelo-
pes should be printed free of charge,

people to continue to earn an honest
living in the printing business.-''Lets
