The Gazette is among that large

We believe that practically all pub.

the case of Williamsburg franchise

Boiling Rice.

There are several ways of boiling
rice, but by far the best way. in or
der to preserve the distinct and sep
arate grain, is: Wash a cup Of rice
thoroughly. Have four cups Of
water boiling and salted; add to it
the rice, stirring slowly so as not to
stop the boiling. Ca double boiler is
used for this). Let boil rapidly for
about 20 minutes, or until the grain
softens. then put in a collander and
nour over the rice two or three quarts
If clear, cold water. Shake collander
until every grain is separated. Then
nut the collander over a pot Of boil
ing water, (be sure not to let water
touch. and steam for about three
ouarters Of an hour. Each grain
Win be large, white and separate.
Rice cooked in this way may be
served with milk, toasted cheese,
GRAVES, vegetables, stews, roasts.
game. fowls, shrimp, oysters and
gumbo. It's also used in custards,
mullins, griddle cakes, ice-cream and
otherwise.

in a pamphlet issued by that honored
gentleman, and published under the
title Of Political Conditions In Lou
isiana." In this pamphlet Mr.. Lewis
eriticises the administration Of Gov
ernor Sanders, ~hamstrings the Legis-
Iature, condemns the Game Commission
Act, and scatters to the four winds
the State Primary Law, and the COM
missions appointed to revise the Civil
Code and draft a code of criminal law.
He says there were 100 Offices created
by the last session of the Legislature,
and that, that body has unwittinglY
laid itself open to one Of the most
grievous charges brought by our
forefathers in the great declaration
against King George III, etc.
And the poor old tax payer, how
he is defended, and made the bone of
contention. One would think, he vas
made to shoulder the sins Of not only
our forefathers, but the very devil
himself.
In due respect to the Honorable
Thomas H. Lewis, who is a very able
lawyer and learned gentleman, Of vast
political experience, there is n ques-
ton he failed to comment upon, and
that is,-Who is made to pay the
fiddler in a parish where Sir Liquor
is Honour de Combat? The politician,
the professional men, the people OF
is it the taxpayers. Taxpayers Of
CO. rise, first, last and always, it is the
taxpayers. They are the ones who
pay. And while defended, they have
been made use of as political material
for generations past and will be made
use of for generations TO come.
From the best information obtained,
it is said that there has been paid ouI
of st. Landry parish during the last
year over $500,000, for liquors Of
various kinds. Does the people, the
business institutions or the taxpayers
benefit by this expenditure? Where
does our parish come in? This money
unlike the bread cast upon the waters
never returns. This is the question
that il efeeting our people, and oDe
we all would like to have some light
on. Governor Sanders has given t.
our people an administration thai
evokes no comments, could but this
this much be said Of the prohibition

The crime for which the negro is
to be executed was one Of unusual

around the store in which the young
white man was employed, for several
hours, until about 5 o'clock in the
afternoon. when he beat his victims
brains out with an ak handle. The

To the People of st. Landry and

Two years ago you elected me one
Of your representatives. At my 1908
session / found lawmaking different
in many respects from what I had
expected it to be. | learned It was
difficult to have a law enacted when
there was determined opposition, Dy
friends Of the administration; ret
many bad laws we're passed. Some OF
the members, including myself, gave
all their attention to such existing
bills as the Locke Bill, the Potts Bill,
the RYangeline Bill, ETC. and during
the session were called upon to vote
for or against about 500 bills Vnlcn
they had not read or tnoaghs ~
am persuaded that the plan suggested
d few months ago by Senator Lazafo,
wherein bills should be introduced 2
YEAR previous to being voted upon
would prove more satisfactory. MOI
only would this plan give legislators :,
time in which to fully consider az
bills, but would also give the people
an opportunity to express tnelf
sentiments.
