FIRST SHIPMENT.
Forty Barrels of Early Vegetables Expressed
to Cincinnati Weekly consien-
meuts Protected.

The recently organized Donaldsonville
Truck Growers Association made it's first
shipment of truck to a northern market
last Wednesday, the 21st inst, when
forty barrels of parsley, shalIots, spinach.
lettuce, beets and radishes were consigned
to commission merchants at Cincinnati,
Ohio. The shipment was routed by ex-
press from Burnside via the Yazoo and
Mississippi Valley and Illinois Central
Railroads, much lower rate having been
secured over this route than was quoted
by the Pacific Express Company, operating
over the Texas and Pacific Railroad. The
consignment was transported from this
city to Burnside by the Burnside and
DonaIdsonyille Packet Company's steamer
Virgie, and was expected to reach its des-
tination Thursday night, which would per-
nit it's being placed on sale in the Gin
cinnati market Friday morning. The
truck growers making this initial shipment
were Sam. Fontana. Tony Latina, Luca
DeLuca, Vito Profetto, Charles Pizzollatto
and Ardillo
Should the returns from this consign-
ment prove satisfactory, it is proposed to
make shipments of early vegetables every
week for the ensuing several months.
Owing to the disastrous 100000 fire
with which Cincinnati was afflicted on
Wednesday afternoon. it is apprehended
that the truck shipped from here on that
date viii not bring as good prices, as
would otherwise have been the case,
since the occurrence of this disastrous
eonfagration is almost certain to affect
the market in deleterious manner
Should this apprehension not be realized.
however, the probabilities are that the net

ONE OF THE STATES RIGHTS.

That bill introduced by Senator
Smoot, transferring the water-power
sites or public land from the general
government to the states in which those
sites are found is a measure that
should pass. 1t would be vastly to the
benefit of the people, vastly to the adj
vantage of the states-and through that
logic, vastly to the advantage of every
one in the whole United States.
For the time is coming when the nat
ural resources within the states will be
entirely under the control of the people
Of those states. Wyoming has that right
with her streams, and the people Of
that state are doing better by them
selves. better for future Wyoming gen.
erations, and better for the whole ma
ton, than was possible with the na-
tional control supreme.
In Idaho and in Utah it would be an
advantage for the general government
to let the local people have control OF
every stream. and of every foot of pub
lie land. The water would be put on
the land much sooner, and with every
bit as much advantage to the settler.
and TO the state-and TO the nation.
This bill of the Senator's is a move
in the right. the logical and the newt
able, direction.

ular army. And it reminds ore of what
Mr.. Kipling said under somewhat SIM
liar circumstances.
However, there is only one rule to
adopt-and only rule that will be
adopted-to keep-in this matter. The
soldier will be admitted wherever he
wants to go-so long as he pays to his
uniform that respect that the theatre
manager and all the rest Of the world
are required to pay it,
That will be the rule, because that is
reason. No man shall be excluded be-

ness IN this country. Now and then a
soldier forgets himself. and muddies
his brain with liquor, and does things
ne ought not do. In such case, he may
properly be excluded from theatres. and
every other place where decorum and
good behavior are expected. But that
is not the common state of the soldier.
Usually he is sober, and as well be-
haved as any other man. And when So
Der and wei behaved he must be treat
ed as other men.
We don't think there will be any law
on the subject. The people of the
United States have quite too genuine

FOR BETTER IMMIGRANTS.

Boston has some things that are
worth while. One of them is the I'M
migration Restriction League. 1t col
lects statistics on the volume and quail
ity of immigration reaching American
shores, and puts before the country
data upon which argument for better
regulation almost builds itself. For en-
ample:
immigration the coming year will
again near the 1,000,000 mark. OF re-
cent immigration, one-fourth over Ia
years of age could not read or write in
any language; three-fifths were of the
Slavic and Iberic races of southern and
eastern Europe; nearly One-third, in
Guiding women and children, had no
occupation; three fifths were destined
for only four states.
In 1908, the foreign born population
of 1876 per cent furnished 1916 per cent
of the criminals, 2O.S per cent of the
paupers, and 29.5 per cent of the insane.
Between 1904 and 1908 the aliens in
these institutions increased "a per cent.
1t probably would be a reversal of
Americas policy TO refuse admission to
men of foreign birth-even when they
come with nine chances in ten of being
public charges. But some place this
side of absolute exclusion there should
be policy which would insure better
immigrants to the United States.
There was a time when the very fact
that q man left his native country and
came to America was good evidence
that he was a strong, resoupcsful, pro-
gressive man; the very material out of
which splendid citizenship would most
easily be made. But We may as well
admit that that time has passed.
And maybe it would be regarded as
treason to declare that the nation
would be better off closing the doors of
Europe and opening them to the tides
from Asia. But 1t will not be easy to |
controvert the statement that China |
and Japan send more actual help and |
fewer hindrances; more ability and less |
crime and disease and pauperism, than |
does Europe.
And it would be wisdom for the re-
public to look the question fairly in the |
face-and solve it.
Either better immigration or no inn /
migration should be the slogan of a ]
commonwealth which proposes to take /
care of itself.

THE GENERAL WALLACE
STATUE.

Congressman BaFnhart of Indiana
delivered an address in Congress in
February on the occasion of the ma
tons receiving the statue of General
Lew. Wallace. And the man that day
placed in the hall of fame could hardly
have had a better euIogist
Mr.. Barnhart is one of the younger
members of Congress, being in his first
elective term. But he seems to have
won a high place for himself. And no
man can frame such a speech as that
with which he uttered Indiana's appre-
citation of Wallace, with the possession
of small or even average abilities
There are two passages in that tribute
which will bear repeating here. One
brings the wife of General Wallace into
the light that burns upon the statue,
and is in these words:
Mrs. Wallace was a woman of be-
coming dignity and rare intellectual
gifts. Herself an author, It is known
that she aided the general materially
in his literary work. She was generous
and kind. and directed many charities.
quietly and unknown to the world. and
gave much of her time and talent to
clarifying the cause of her religion. He
was constantly her companion and her
comfort, and so the home life of these
two was ideal. Alike in their tastes
and with superior poise, their kindred
souls became so much entwined that
after the generals death his wife pinned
away in desolate loneliness for a few
short months and then followed him
joyously-belOved helpmeet in life. soul
mate IN death.
The other closes the address Mr..
Barnhart delivered. 1t closes an eulogy
upon the life OF a man whom all the
world honors.
May the memory of Lew Wallace,
Indiana's illustFous author, outIive this
durable cast as love survives NOR
tality, and may the creative influence
that gave the world such authorship
and citizenship as his endure forever!
