General Diaz has begun his eighth
term as president of Mexico under
circumstances which are not very aus
picious. Indeed, they suggest suspi-

land of tamales and chilli con carne
will not continue for long. The ef-
forts at revolution which have been
under way in Mexico for several weeks
may be feeble, but they show the way

AGAINST GAMBLING.

Lafayette, La. April S.-"Wf
respectfully call the attention o!
the mayor and city council of the
city of Lafayette to the deplor-
able conditions which now exist
in the shape of gambling houses,
and it is our recommendation that
the council enact such ordinances
as viii put a stop to this practice,
the effect of which is to demon
allie the youth and manhood of
our community"
Such was the red-hot paragraph
in the report of the grand jury
which completed its work after a
three days session. The jury also
called attention to the many fri
yolous cases sent up by justices
of the peace throughout the par
ish. in many instances with no
semblance of evidence to sustain
the charges. and suggested that
these officials exercise more care
in the discharge of their duties
and avoid putting the parish to
unnecessary expenses.
The people of the parish were
congratulated on the splendid or
der that has prevailed for the
past six months. and the jury
stated that special effort had been
made to ascertain any violations OF
law IN different sections of the
parish. Liquor laws have been re-
speeted very generally. and ear
rying concealed weapons has been
abolished practically by the firm
stand Of the court.

VERMILION GRAND JURY.

At its recent meeting, the
Grand Jury of Vernilion Parish
reported that the laws relating
to the sale of. liquor to children
were being violated in the town
of Delcambre, which is Ion the
line which divides the Parishes Of
Iberia and Vermiion. This
town is in peculiar position.
Part If it is in Vermilion Parish
which went dry because of the
open disregard of the law by
tie saloon Keepers, and the other
half is in Iberia Parish which is
not dry. The result is that in
one part of the town there can be
s-loons and in the other there are
more. But the fact remains that
there have been complaints that
the liquor dealers there have sold
lnaaNicants to minors. This is de-
MED by he saloon keepers and it
is hoped that the position they
take is correct. There is nothing

SOME REAL FARMING.

In Louisiana, as elsewhere. there
are farmers and other farmers.
And the farmer is judged by the
results he produces just as the
tree is judged by It's fruits. The
farmer, for instance, who produc-
es principally tobacco juice, white
pine shavings and a long string of
complaints to the effect that "the
farmer amt got no chance. no.
how" is one kind of so-called far
mer; but the Crowley Signal tells
us about another kind. Says the
Signal:
The Lowell Farm has sixty
acres of corn up and ready for
cultivation. 1t is up to a good
stand and if the season is favor
able the corn will be ready for
harvest very early. Corn is used
on the Lowell Farm for stock feed
and the sixty acres of corn will
be marketed. together with large
quantity Of low grade rice, on the
hoof.
"The lowell Farm this week
made two carload shipments Of
beef cattle to New Orleans. The
beeves brought seven cents on the
hoof. The cattle averaged about
$50 head. F"
Diversification, marketing
large portion of the crop on the
hoof, industry, and good hard
common sense are the qualities
that have produced these splendid
results. Wen wager round
sum that nobody can find Enos
Lowell spending his Saturday
evenings talking politics, squirting
tobacco juice over his shirt front
and cussing the Meat Trust"
And he isn't doing much whining
about the low price of rice either,
Cor he has just sold large quaint
les of it in the form of fat cat
tie at sixty dollars a head.
It is only necessary to add, by
way of suggestion to all the far
ners of Louisiana: eco we and
TO likewise. Daily States.
