TO MAKE CHICAGO DRY.
Anti-SaIoon Element Claims a Major
fty of the Legislature.

Chicago, Nov. 12-Four thousand
petition circulators have been organ
lied secretly in a new campaign to
drive saloons from Chicago. The first
sheets of the petition have been re-
turned to headquarters. The movement
was decided upon at a meeting Of the
local option committee of the Anti
Saloon league, having in hand the pro-
ject to bring the proposition before
! voters of the city at the spring election,
April next.
Superintendent James K. Shields of
the Anti-Saloon league made the claim
that the "drys'' would control both
branches of the legislature in the ses-
sion of the general assembly, begin
ming next January. He based his
claims upon a tabulation of the law
makers elect, classified according to
their pledges upon two possibilities of
gislation-county local option and
repeal of the present local option law.
1.-The anti-saloon forces in the house
at Springfield" said Mr. Shields, will
be much stronger than two years ago,
when the majority against us was from
two to five. We gained fifteen or six
teen representatives and have lost five
or six, making our net gain about ten
and assuring US control of the house
on local option bills. The senate al
ready was with US and will remain so.
I'VE will present a county local OPP
ton bill and believe we have the votes
to pass it in both branches of the leg
islature. Some of the members-elect
have pledged to oppose repeal of the
present law without committing them
selves to county local option, but even
without our majority in the senate, any
backward step would be impossible
Prohibitionists and Independents
may hold the balance of power in the
lower house of the next legislature,
which meets in January
According to incomplete returns at
hand, neither the Republicans nor the
Democrats have the constitutional ma
jority of II in the house and the two
Prohibitionists and two Independents
may dictate who shall be speaker at
the coming session.

Mills Sees Bright outlook.


In the opinion of a. NJ. Mills of the
Mills Dry Goods company, the business
outlook is favorable.
ut is too early to say much about
business relative to political condi-
TONS" said Mr.. Mills, "as we do not
know much about the national poll
cfes. 1 would say that the weather
conditions will have as much to do
with business the next few months as
any other outside influence. The
weather so far has been little too
mild. but there will big business this
winter if it gets bit cooler"
While the big dry goods and cloth
ing stores are asking for drop in
temIRrature, the lumber firms and
contractors are hoping that the mild
weather will continue throughout the
winter months.
Good warm weather will help our
business as much as any one other
thing" said Paul Huycke, manager of
the J. Thomas Lumber company. "a
good many people are preparing to
build, and in many instances can COM
plete their work without interruption,
if it does not turn too cold. 1 do not
think state issues in politics has affect
ed our business in the least. We have
found conditions good all over the
state, and believe there will be good
business the next year"
Ed. Merriam of the Merriam Mort
gaze company, points to the fact that
the farmers are buying more land as
an indication of good business.
"All over the state said Mr.. Mer-
Ram, ''the farmers are buying land.

FEW WOMEN SMOKE.
Mrs. Stevens Says Also Drinking Is
Not ON the Increase.

Baltimore, Nov. 12.-Drinking and
cigarette smoking are not on the in
crease among the women of America,
according to Lillian NJ. n. Stevens,
president of the National Women's
Christian Temperance union. Ad-
dressing the annual convention of the
organization here today, she said in
part:
1--WE are sometimes told that drink
among women is on the increase. It
can hardly be so among the outcasts
and lower classes, for it is largely
drink which has brought them where
they are. Alcoholic beverages can not
Justly, even among women, be called a
class drink, for alcohol in the costly
wine glass is as deadly and dangerous
as it is in the dingy whisky glass.
1--WE are sometimes told that there
is much cigarette smoking among
women. In the course of my travels
in England and America 1 have never
seen a woman with a cigarette in her
mouth, except in certain localities in
New Mexico, where the surroundings
were not at all pleasant to contem-
plate.
''There is reason to believe that some
women in England do smoke cigarettes
and we are told that there are some in
America of like habits. I have seen
now and then a woman in howell
smoking a pipe"
fc the speaker reviewed recent fed
eral, state and city attempts to stifie it
and continued:
''It matters little whether the traffic
is organized or not. The fact that it
exists in New York and elsewhere is
sufficient to arouse humanity-loving
people,"
Mrs. Stevens vigorously recommend
ed an amendment to the federal con-
stitution, prohibiting polygamy and
giving to congress power to enforce
such prohibition by suitable legisla-

Denver Shippers Claim 100000 in
Overcharges.

Denver, Nov. 12.-Shippers of Den
yer, acting in conjunction with ship
pers of other cities in the west, will
make demands upon the railroads for
refunding of overcharges. The de-
mands will be based upon the recent
decision in the Missouri river rate case.
The Merchants association of this city
has decided to handle the matter for
the shippers. 1t is estimated by the
association that merchants of Denver

100000 return of money paid in ex-

The Raising Of the Maine.

So many difficulties and obstacles have
developed in connection with the prop
osition to raise the wreck of the battle
ship Maine from it's bed of mud in Havana
harbor ever since congress passed meas
ure authorizing the removal and making
an appropriation therefor, that many peo-
pie are beginning to believe that the
wreck will never be removed. The posi-
ton in which the wreck lies imbedded in
mud and Slime as well as the shattered
condition of the hull will make the work
of removal extremely difficult as well as
expensive. If an attempt were made to
lift the old ship bodily, it is doubtful if the
hull would stand the strain, as it was un-
doubtedly badly shattered by the explo-
sion.
Probably the only feasible plan is to
build Golfer dam around the wreck. thus
uneovering it, and clean the mud away
sufficiently to permit of thorough ex-
animation. Such an inspection ought to
set E5aL 1uLcNSL lI1C uoupto GleCltd1
by some as to the explosion which de-
stroyed the ship having come from the
outside. and it would also determine the
feasibility Of patching up the hull suffici-
emily to permit it TO float. If this was
shown to be impossible, the old ship could
be blown up with dynamite after any
bodies that might be found in its interior
have been removed.
The general desire to clear up the mys-
terry attending the destruction of the yes
sci hampers the work of removing the
wreck as an obstruction to the harbor of
Havana. The doubts that are entertained
make it desirable that not only our gov
but Spain and Cuba as well, have
The Donaldsonville chief. [volume] (Donaldsonville, La.) 1871-current, 1910-10-01

competent observers on hand to inspect
every stage of the work, so that the truth
may be fully known. and no claim after
wards be made that our officials, in un-
covering the wreck, took steps to oblit-
crate any incriminating or teli-tale evi-
dences.
After all the talk that has been in
dulged in, it is incumbent upon our gov
eTnment to do something. If the wreck
cannot be raised and bodily removed. ii
must be got rid of in some other way, as
it is an injustice to Cuba to permit an
important portion of her principal harbor
to remain obstructed by wreck. Mere
sentiment should not be permitted to
stand in the way of doing this act OF
justice. The removal of the wreck in
some way is the first consideration. and
the desire to discover the exact cause of
the destruction of the ship is but of sec
ondary importance. If the money al
ready appropriated does not prove suffi-
cient to accomplish the task, congress win
be compelled, in sheer decency, to pro-
vide more, as we cannot reasonably ex-
peet that the people of Havana win con
sent to the obstruction Of their harbor

national vessels.-New Orleans Picayune.

Died from Grief.

The following special from Napoleon
vile appeared in last Mondays issue of
the New Orleans Picayune:
Miss Nailla Sinoneaux. aged is, died
at the residence of her parents at Belle
Rose yesterday at noon, after an illness Of
two months. Funeral services and in
terment took place today at st. Elizabeth
Catholic church. Paincourtville.
The cause of the death of this young
woman is most deplorable and has cast a
gloom over the entire community Of Belle
Rose. Joseph Simoneaux, the father If
the young lady, during the February
term of court was indicted for arson and
tried and found guilty. He was sentenced
to twelve years at hard labor in the state
penitentiary. From the day of her
fathers departure to the penitentiary Miss
Slmoneaux began to show signs of in
sanity, constantly making inquiries as TO
her fathers whereabouts. In the last two
weeks the only hope for recovery held out
by the physicians was the sight of her
father
"A petition for the pardon OF Mr.. ST.
naoneanx was circulated and presented to
the Board of Pardons, accompanied BY
several letters from physicians of the par
ish. Yesterday, while en- route with the
petition, the young lady's condition grew
worse, and death came before the liberty
of her father could be restored.

Great Food Value Of Rice.


The following valuable article on rice is
copied from Leslie's Weekly of Sept. /.
1910:
Some foods are not only ideal for the
invalid, but are equally valuable as mus
Gle builders for those engaged in hard
work and who are in perfect health No
other food fills this double bill better than
rice. Being easily digestible as well as
very nutritious, il excels for the invalid
or convalescent and is one of the first solid
foods that may be given to babies. But
it is a diet for strong men as well.
"0ne of the most amazing revelations
of the Russo-Japanese war wassthe we'll
nigh perfect health of the japanese
soIdiery, whose main diet had always
been rice. While no single article pos
sesses all the food qualities needed by the
body, rice approaches the point as nearly
as any known. AS one of our own ma
tional products we have not sufficiently
appreciated its food value. In this era of
high prices it offers the double attraction
of being very cheap as well as exceedingly
nutritious Less meat and more rice in
varied forms would be good motto for
the poor man S table. Already eaten by
more human beings than any other cereal,
under a campaign of education the variety
and extent of its use might be wonder
fully increased.

NUMBER 8
Fan Destruction Of Cotton Stalks.

Experiments made at Mansura the
winter of 1908 brought to light the inter
esting and important information that
destruction of all cotton plants before Oc-
tober IS reduced the number of over-win-
tering Weevils to 8 per cent. On the other
hand, leaving the plants standing until
December 21 allowed over 43 per cent of
the weevils to live Through the winter.
The present season offers exceptional
opportunities. for the farmer to deal the
boil Weeyil a severe blow and insure a
good crop for 1911. The present crop is
short and labor is plentiful for picking.
and there is no reason why every boil of
cotton cannot be picked out before Octo-
Der TO- There is absolutely no hope for
any top crop being made in Louisiana
and it is useless for the planter to leave
the cotton plants standing in the hope
that the small green boIls now on them
will mature and open; these hoils will
only breed more Weevils for the fight
next spring. The farmers are urged to
destroy the plants as soon as possible by
cutting them down completely, raking
them into piles and burning; or using the
revolving stalk cutter and following with
the turning plow.
Thousands of farmers have cultivated
the present crop industriousIy and have
spent many dollars picking up the in
fected squares. If they would devote the
same enthusiasm and energy to picking
out the crop early and destroying the
plants before October IS they would ac-
complish far more IN the fight against the
pest
When the work is properly done the
cottor plants can be destroyed (cut and
buFned9 at a cost of from IS to 40 cents
per acre. labor and all The way to do it
IS to make and use a V-shaped stalk cut
ter, the materials for which cost about S3.
This machine cuts from 10 to 20 acres of
plants per day and windrows them at tie
same time.-Dept Agricultural Extension,
