The Republican leaders were
given heavy jolt last week
when in Vermont and in New
Hampshire their losses were
heavy. While not losing out en-
tirely they did not get any
where near the vote that they
had received at previous elections
and majorities were greatly re-
duced. This indicates that the
Democrats or insurgent Repub oil
cans will control the next House.
In former years it was said when
majorities in Vermont and New
Hampshire were small the fate
was sealed and the National
House would surely go Democra
tic. Maine elected Democratic
Governor and four congressman.
Ii the Democrats go into the
campaign right there is no rea-
son that they should not win out
with the dissensions in the Re-
pu blican ranks and with Roose-
velt tearing up the regulars and
sowing the seed of discord all
over the west. TO this add the
high cost of living caused by the
excessive tariff now exacted and
levied and it will easily be seen
that argument is not lacking.
1t looks like the people all over
the country have awakened to a
realization of the fact that it is
time to take a hand in politics,
otherwise the cor porations and
the office holders will run the
government for their private in
terests, regardless Of the pu-
bic good. As it is in national
affairs, SD viii it be in local
affairs, the people have grown
more watchful and critical than
ever before and they have a just
right to open their eyes, for if
they wait much longer it will be
too late.

Ohio farmers last week pur-
chased five hundred acres OF
| land in this parish for the pur.
pose Of cultivating the same.
These people were induced to buy
through the efforts Of the Louisi
ana Meadows Company. This
company has from time to time
brought different visitors and
land purchasers over to show
them the possibilities of this pa
rish in the neigh borhood Of Race
land, where they own several
thousand acres Of reclaimed land,
which few years back was not
only impossible of cultivation,
but impossible of acces by man,
d ue to the fact that there was no
drainage.
They purchased the land and
by a process and system of drain
age canals constructed in the pro
pr Way, this overfowed and
watered land was entirely drain
ed and made culJiva BILE and habi-
table. Corn and MELONS were
planted by people put there by
the company as well as by purcha
sers of the land and the corn
grown there was the equal of any
that could be grown any where
else. The next step was bEin-
ging the largest corn planters OF
the world over the territory and
convincing them of the great pos
sibilities OF the land. Seeing
was believing and ever since
there has been gradual out
pouring of farmers from western
states. aass....s...zL,s..ss. e.
In time this parish will be the
home OF world of corn planters
and truck growers from other
states, and our people will. then
learn to diversity and appreciate
the fact that cnltivating any
thing under the most advanced
and scientific methods is Away
| the best way. The good to come
from such an influx of new blood
from energetic sister states
can be but for good and should
be appreciated and much vel.

Senator Foster accompanied by
President Frank Miller of the Game
and Oyster Commission was in
Washington last week soliciting
aid from the Federal Government
for the futherance and preservation
of fish in this state. They held a
conference with the Chief of the
Fish Commission and the officers
were very much impressed with the
work being accomplished. The
National Government has promised
| to send Superintendent to assist
in the local work, as we'll as render
any assistance in his power, and
his arrival is expected almost any
time.
The intention of the local COM
mission is to esta blish at least
two fish hatcheries in this state.
One is to be located near Morgan
city, on the Atchafalaya, where
the Matching of catfish will be
carried on. In the vicinity Of
Abbeville it is thought another
hatchery will be located, for the
purpose of Matching bass. Moth
ing definite has been given out
as to the latter hatchery, but it
is believed that the former will
positively be established.

Last Tuesdays elections were
surprises in a way to many. The
administration forces seem to have
been the losers by it. 1t was open
ly charged previous to the election
that Sanders and his influence was
back of Baily and one Of the Off
cials of the insane asylum at Pine
/, vile was discharged because he
acted as campaign manager for
Congressman Pujo, which tended
! to show that the administration was
with Bailey.
Bailey. in the beginning seem
ed to be sure winner and every
thing tended to his election, but
| in the last week it became noised
about that he was the ad ministra
tion candidate and forthwith the
tide turned and the Good Govern
ment League arousing seemed to
warn the people and they follow
ed the Pujo banner. Bailey made
the mistake of his life in solici-
ting or accepting the administra
tion support. He should have
known that the same crowd threw
him down in a previous cam paign,
after he had won out and while
they were supposed to be back of
him they wanted to cliphis wings
and prevent him from being too
energetic against them in the
state campaign and they succeed
ed, although they would have pre-
ferred having elected him to have
him with them, rather than have
him against them. They recoked
ed with out their host as the peo
pie saw the handwriting on the
wall and would not stand for
Jim's playing both sides and ac-
cordingly handed him what he
deserved for having forgotten the
people when he grew am bilious.
Judge Randsell simply walked
away in his lead over his two op-
ponents and was elected again by
! a larger majority than ever before.
! 1t was intimated that the admins
tration was against him as he is
possible candidate for the Senate
in 1912 and this would interfere with
Sanders aspirations. Puio it is
thought will be in the race for Sena
tor the next time. Ransdell and
Pujo would indeed make good
team for this State in the senate.
Judge Luther Hall defeated Judge
Land, the present incumbent from
his district on the State Supreme
Court Bench.

Looks Like
California Wins,
The exposition boosters in California re-,
allied that in New Orleans they had
encountered opposition.
Legislature OF that state meets and one
hour afterwards pslyses two amend
ments to the constitution which will
mean ten million dollars additionai- -
This will make their total exposition fund
seventeen million i've hundred thousand
to bid for exposition.

California has at last awakened
to the realization that New Or.
leans and Louisiana can hustle
for something when they want it.
That state had already subscrib.
ed seven and one half million dol
lars through its citizens and last
week it's Legislature convened.
Within an hour after meeting
twoamendments were railroaded
through both houses which
mean an additional ten million
dollars to the su Inscription, max
ing that states subscription to
the fund seventeen and half
million when the bid is offered
before congress. The firstamend
ment authorizes the state to levy
special tax for the state to be
collected in four years aud the
other a special tax for San Fran
cisco, by amending it's charter
so as toissue special bonds to the
amount of five millions. The
total amount will be in hand
before 1915.
What effect this will have on
the decision in the selection ol
the site for the Panama fair re-
mains to be seen when Congress
cOnveneS in December next
It looks like this state will have
| TO accomplish much more than
carrying the amendment in order
to insure the prize. Since itwas
with no little difficulty that two
millions were raised it is almost
ridiculous to hope for the fund
! to equal California's. Neither
| state has the amonnt YET, as pet
pie are not given tofavoring spe-
clal taxes on uncertainties
Even after we vote the tax, it we
do, there is nothing To assure US
that congress will vote New Or
rleans the fair. Then what the
politicians will do with such a
fund will be caution. It will
then indeed become political can
paign funds.

Tho voraeiou. cormorant.


How a cormorant dives for e trout
and gets them is told by a writer:
II had the cormorant under observa-
ton only for the space Of four or five
minutes, and during that short period
it had captured four sea trout, all Of
considerable size. After being under
water for a few seconds the bird
would reappear with a sea trout wrig-
Cling in its bill. But in spite Of the
victims desperate efforts to escape it
was deftly swallowed, and after a few
gulps the cormorant would resume it's
fishing operations. One Of the sea
trout gave it considerable trouble, how
ever, for. the fish struggled violently
for some moments, but was deftly
placed SO that its head pointed. down
Its captor's throat, and thus it's own
struggles assisted the bird to swallow
It. After a time the cormorant raised
itself in the water. tapping it's wings
vigorously, as though to help it pack
away its heavy repast, and then rose
heavily and winged its way up
stream"

Thu Coda of Slann.

It is rather a clever notion in a re-
cent story to make two Americans
communicate with each other by
means Of slang in a Central American
republic at a time when all kilograms
are carefully inspected. If they used
Spanish, that, of course, would be i'm
mediately understood. If they used
English the officials would find some
n to translate 1t. As they had no
cipher code prepared in advance, they
could not resort to it. Consequently
the first American telegraphs to the
other American in the great and po-
tent code Of slang. Here is a teie-
gram which slipped through the fin
gers Of the curious Central American
officials:
