Louisiana Resources.

(Sugar Planters JOurnaD
Fred Grace, Register of the State
Land Office, in an address before
the State Federation of Women 8
Clubs at Baton Rouge, gave the
following interesting figures on
the resources of Louisiana, espe-
cially the timber resources:
Louisiana has an area of As, 900
square miles, 2S,0OO,0OO acres of
land, 100000 acres 10 alluvial
and 100000 in upland. Of the
2S,0O0,0OO acres, one-quarter of it
is in cultivation of cotton, corn,
rice, sugar cane, hay and forage
crops. Louisiana has 1863, 928
acres in pine. and about $500, 1000
in hardwood and nearly 5000, 900
IN cypress. We have SIC sawmilIs,
which in 1908 cut 100000, 900
feet of lumber. We have the
largest sawmill plant in the world.
1t employs LOO men and cuts an
average of $4,000 feet of lumber
per day. They used thirty-two
cars of dynamite to blow up the
stumps where the mill now stands.
The big belt that drives the wheels
took the hides of 500 steers to
make it. In Calcasieu the Union
sulphur mines turn out over 1000
tons of sulphur day. They have
10000 tons of sulphur in their
holdings. As early as 1871 salt
was made from the springs of
Avery Island. They are now get
ting out of this mine about
100 tons of salt daily. The oil in
dustry is being we'll developed.

How Prices Are Maintained
n. o. Daily States.


The Senate committee which is
investigating the causes of the high
cost of living has developed the
important fact that a combination
exists to maintain high prices in
the grocery trade. One of the wit
nessss, Mr.. Clabaugb, said that
he had been driven out Of pros
porous business by the combine,
and that his suit for damages
against the Southern Wholesale
Grocess' Association for their boy
colt was compromised by their
paying him $4,000 to dismiss
his action. He says they ruined
him because he refused to sell at
prices dictated by the association.
THAT is a matter of fact" says
the Washington Post, that should
be positively determined beyond
all peradventure, and should the
verdict vindicate the truth of the
story of this man, it follows that
we have system of feudalism in
this country no less CALLING on the
purse Of the people than the old
feudalism of chivalry was cruel on
the blood of the people. They took
your life; now they take your sus-
tenance."
If much of the testimony given
by other witnesses is based on
truth there has been a wanton de-
struction of wholesome footstuffs
by combinations in order that ex-
tortionate prices could be main
tanned for that put on the market.
This is a scandalous evil and laws
should be passed with sufficient
teeth in them to destroy it com
pletely. In order to maintain the
high prices in the East, which at
the same time was al outrageous
tax on the poor, it is said that
train load of potatoes from the
West was purposel y sidetracked
last winter so that the vegetables
would be frozen and made unfit
for human food. The obstruction
of vast quantities of foodstuffs to
the end that consumers may be
more easily plundered by combin-
atoms is a crime, and there should
be laws to punish it.

Failure of Willie DusOn.

SIGNAL TELLS OF HIS ARDUOUS WORK,
AND OF HOW HE COULD HAVE FAILED
WITH PROFIT THREE YEARS AGO.
Less than five years ago the an
nouncement of tho bankruptcy OF
W. w. Duson would have spslt
disaster to many others in Crow
ley, says the Crowley Signal, and
it would have meant embarrasse.
ment to nearly every business man,
firm or corporation in this city.
Today, while the announcement is
received with genuine regret by
every citizen of Crowley, it car
ries with it no message of disaster
to other business interests. For
twenty three years the history of
the Dusons has been the history
OF Crowley. They founded tho
town and their energy and enter
prise built it and made a great in
dustry possible where before them
there was practically nothing.
Crowley and Southwest Louisiana
owe the Dusons the tribute of re-
spect that is always paid to genius
and developer. When W. W. Du-
son became seriously involved
three years ago, he might without
criticism have taken advantage of
the bankruptcy act tc settle his
affairs, turning over his assets to
his creditors. He preferred to ex-
haust every possibility of settling
dollar for dollar, and in three years
he reduced his liabilities from
tres-quartsrs of a million to
about quarter of a million. The
business community is now better
prepared for the shock of the fail
ure than it was three years ago,
and the result is that the injurious
result of a failure of this magni-
tude has been minimized. While
W. w. Duson is not as young as
he was when be founded a city and
an industry on the Acadian prai-
rie and the stress of years has left
its mark, he is not too old to begin
again where he achieved his first
success. No man knows better
than he the opportunities that here
await the man who can seize them.

Uniform School Dress.

just at this season, when the
sweet girl graduate" is occupying
the entire stage, it is opportuue to
discuss tho ACCESSIBILITY of adop-
ting uniforms for school girls.
For the next few weeks the coun-
try will have tho opportunity of
Witnessing displays of 'finery"
that costs hundreds of dollars,
and much of this expense will be
forced upon parents who can i'll
afford to bear the burdens that
custom and vanity DEGREES correct
and necessary. Young ladies and
girls. while attending school, are
almost daily "decked out" in their
best bib and tucker" with costly
aud snowy ornaments. Such un-
necessary displays make the less
fortunate envious, and cause many
a parent to be saddled with debts
in order to provide expensive
dresses for their girls.
All of those who attend the pub
lie schools are not wealthy, and it
is a grevious burden for parents
to provide costly dresses for gra-
duating exercises. We know that
young ladies, especially when they
graduate, like to wear the very
best that can be had, and fond pa
rents are perfectly willing to bur-
den themselves with debts in or
der to crafty this natural desire.
But, in the interest of those who
cannot afford it, and they are
many, we urge the Legislature to
prescribe a neat, simple and mex
pensive uniform, both for school
aud graduating exercises. Poor
children are very sensitive, and
some of those more fortunate are
80 rude as to call attention to the
cut and quality of another's dress.
This rankies in the breast of the
child and soon develops a deep
resentment that grows and be-
comes more bitter as the days 60
by. The colleges and universities
have uniforms and the faculties
are more than pleased with the
results. We see no reason why
all public schools should not adopt
this wise provision of modern
educational ideas and fall in line
with those who have tested the
matter of uniforms in schools

A GOVERNOR WITH BACKBONE

A decided victory for public morals
was secured in California Wednesday
when Governor GilIett issued instruc-
tions to Attorney-General Webb forbid
ding the Jelferies-Johnson prize fight.
1t is the more gratifying from a moral
standpoint in that it was entirely un-
expected In an interview in Chicago
recently Governor GilleIt expressed
himself as enthusiastically 1avoring
the fight, if one may give crcdencc to
press interviews. 1t was the biggest
thing in the country" said the COVER
nor then. and would attract thou
sands Of people TO California" One
is forced TO the conclusion hat The
Gillett abroad and the Gillcrt at home
in the executive chair represent wide
ly different personalities. For in
7'hii''r ''I4iIdlt HIS ltI)'! L't 'Hi'dHp
utterance with the closing words Of
his edict against the fight:
If sparring exhibitions as permit
ted by our laws make fights where
men are killed, beaten into insensi
bility. and their faces cut into rib
bons. lawful acts, then it is time that
the legislature should interfere and
make such exhibitions felony. The
whole business is d"moralizing to tn"
youth of our state II corrupIs public
morals, is offensive to the senses of
a great majority of our citizens. and
should be adapted as public nuisance
and the offenders punished"
1t means something in a political
way for a governor in California to
issue such a document as has come
from Mr.. Gillctts hands. 1t means
that he stands forth in opposition to
the combined forces for evil which
drove Francis J. Henry from San Fran
cisco after a contest for civic morality
memorable in the nations history.
Which goes to indicate that the
backbone of California's governor is
morally cssified to commendable de
gree.
