Mr.. Bailey's friends have been hal

Mr.. Bailey friends have been harp
ing on his assertion that Mr.. Pujo's
claim of having secured $55, 900 aud
$4,000 respectively fors postofiices
and sites at Crowleyiand Jennings is
premature and without foundation,
Mr.. Bailey saying that these bills
are still lying in the committee room
unreported. The list of Acts of the
U. s. First Session Congress 1907
1908, May 3Oth, page $40, II. r.
Bill No. 81 1877, shows the appropri-
alton for U. s. postofiice at Crowley,
La, to be $55, 700; SO Mr.. Bailey
il incorrect as to that item. We
have not the record at hand for
10O9-191O, but hazard the -opinion
that It will show that Mr.. Pujo's
claim il sustained.

Agriculture is the backbone oil
American success and progress. Rec

for agricultural legislation and as
sisted in many appropriations foI
this purpose, but one in which the
people OF Louisiana are just now
specially sharing is $500, 900 devoted
to the destruction of the boil weevil.

Sanders will Remain Governor OF
Louisiana.

As foresladOwed in our issue OF
last week, Gov. Sanders has declined
To qualify ans U. s. Senator, and VIII
remain governor of Louisiana to the
end of his term. This action is taken
on the solicitation of Hon. L. +.
Thompson and Others OF the Panama
Exposition Company OF New Orleans.
In announcing his determination
in this matter Gov. Sanders serves
notice that he will be IA candidate Tor
the position of u. S. Senator from
I.ouisiana in the next Democratic
primary. He also states that he will
not accept any position whatsoever
with the Exposition company. de
has appointed Judge J. X. Thornton
To fill out the unexpired term to
which he was elected.
The selection by Gov. Sanders, OF
Judge J r. Thornton. OF Alexandria,
to I'LL out the unexpired term OF Sen
ator McEnery meets the hearty ap-
probation of all Louisiana Demo
Gratis. Indeed, the fine character ol
Judge Thornton and his ability If sc
well known, that his appointment il
universally approved without regard
to party, and the universal verdict II
that the governor has shown great
patriotism and good judgment IL
his selection.
The act of Gov. Sanders in renounc
ing the Senatorsbip is spectacular II
the extreme, and it seems for tn
nonce to have nonplussed both frient
and foe IN their criticisms. After al
has beeu said, however, the ac
stands out as one Of unusual sell
sacrifice; and, no matter what hi
reasons therefor may be, he is emit
tied to a full need of credit for it
performance. He has surrendered
Senatorial term Of five years, mt
salnry ot 81, 500, for "a gubernatoris
term of two years, ut "A salary {
/ 81 1000. Whether this surrender b
voluntary or enforced is the bone
, contention over which the critics jus
now IRE contending, with very hit
tshow of establishing anything e.
: cept what the governor states abor
: the matter.
81 So, whether it be patriotism pul
\ and simple, or the degged desire I
e carry out the policies OF his admin
tration now claimed to be under p
litical fire, Gov. Sanders holds Il
whip hand at this time, and by Il
e same token it may be safely predie
: ed that he il going to do some mo
D of the skillful driving for which be b.
: become famous.

The elimination of the Cotton Deal.

The elimination of the Cotton Deal.
The New York bears met their
Waterloo on Monday, when the price
of August cotton contracts was fore
ed up to 20 cents per pound and
most of the shorts were compelled
to settle at Is cents. Despite the
large amounts of actual cotton de-
livered since May and the vast sums
that the longs had to pay for the
cotton thus rendered, the bears prov
ed unequal to the task Of breaking
down prices, and on Monday they
had finally to toe the mark. and pay
the penalty of their over confidence.
For the first time in the history OF
the contract market the New York
Shorts have failed to demonstrate
ability to control the market. Their
defeat was brought about by small
coterie of Southern cottonmen, who,
knowing the small size of the crop
and believing that the South should
reap richer harvest than it seemed
likely that the combination of spin
! ners and New York bears would per
; NIT, took hold of the market early
last winter, and by display Of cour
. are and nerve, as well as by the U.s.
of large amounts of capital, the,
we're able to triumphantly circum
vent the customary tnctics of tn
: shorts aud carry their plans to
g successful finish.
The South owes debt of gratitud
to these men, who, although the
| have probably reaped rich rewards
Iwere animated as much bya patriot
. ic desire to elevate the price OF col
, ton for the benefit of their section a
by any hope of private gain. Tr'
: mendous obstacles had to be Owe
/, leone, and an incessant war had t
. be waged agai inst a coterie OF ric
. New York operators, with lon
: series of victories to their credit an
+ with an unlimited supply of capit'
% at their command. That full success
has been achieved in the face OF thes
obstacles is matter for warm col
# gratula tions.
Il The lesson the New York short
u have received this season will 70
o them of the absolute control the
d have hitherto exercised over the co
, ton market. Once defeated, the
u will lack their former confidenc
e while Southern traders, having see
" them defeated, will not accept the
d prospect of victory for the future 4
a matter of course. The spectacle
the defeat of the New York shor
d has been an inspiring one for Il
/ South and should infuse courage l
Is to Southern business interests ,
4 well as stimulate a firm resolve n,
to surrender for the future the II
q control of the price of their leadir
product to the New York finunci
