Queen Sets Style for English Wona

I ONDON.--Queen Mary has issued
II another sumptuary law for the

Hoosier Eggs Must Now be Guaran.es

I INDIANAPOLIS, IND.-The large egg
i dealers and shippers OF the state
now buy eggs loss on" and will COM
pei the farmer to sell good eggs or
none at all. This decision was reach
ed at meeting here some time ago
Of the Indiana Association of Car Lot
Shippers. which meeting was attended
by nearly 40 of the 100 or more men,
bers. Resolutions were adopted as
sorting that the dealers would buy eggs
only on the plan OF loss on"
This decision was In line with the
amendment which the last legislature
added to the pure food law. making It
a violation Of the law to offer bad
egg for sale. This law applies to the
farmer. the grocer, the huckster. the
dealer. the shipper. or to anybody else
who sells eggs. H. E. Barnard. state
food and drug commissioner, attended
the meeting and made an address. in
which be told the members his depart
ment would do everything in its pow
er to enforce the new law. Up TO this
time It has been the common prac-
tice for the farmer to sell all his eggs
ina lot, regardless OF whether the eggs
were good. bad or otherwise. and he
received nat price for them. The
result was that the consumer had to
take bis chances on getting good eggs
when he bought eggs at a grocery

No one has been poisoned or hurt

Good Roads.
The character and quality OF the
roads OF a state or nation are the
best indices of their civilization and
prosperity. The absence of good
roads throughout the state of Louisi-
ana in the past has been the most
dominant factor in holding back her
advancement, The present body OF
road laws existing in this state, is, in
my opinion. excellent and well cal
culated to accomplish the objects de-
sired.
/ favor the utilizing OF these laws
to the full extent of the resources of
the state and parishes, and | will use
all the power of the executive office
to advance this great cause.
Recognition Of Women.
The mothers of the state have a
peculiarly vital interest in the proper
education OF their children. Upon
them the burden of rearing our fu-
ture citizens falls with the greatest
force, aud the work of preparing
them to meet successfully the vary
ing fortunes of life is to the mothers
the highest and hottest privilege. /
heartily indorse the suggestion to
amend the organic law so as to rem
der women eligible for service as di-
rectors on boards of education
throughout Louisiana.
Other subjects may be presented
from time to time during the can
vass. and shall attempt to meet my
fellow-Democrats in every parish of
the state and discuss the measures
in which they may feel interested.
If loyalty to the principles and
teachings OF Democracy; il faith
full devotion to duty, public and pri-
vate; il wide experience in the pub
lie service, may be esteemed as as
sets of value and pledges of future
fidelity, offer these to the considera-
ton of my fellow-citizens OF Louisi-
ana in extenuation of my temerity in
soliciting their generous support for
the highest office within their gift.
| am candidate for governor on
my record, my merits and my plat
form. | am soliciting this exalted
public office as native citizen of
Louisiana and Democrat, and
would be grateful for the confidence
and support of all my Democratic
fellow-citizens.

Public Printing.

PUBLIC Printing.
Under the incumbent administra-
ton the cost of public printing has
been appreciably reduced. AS a
further step in the direction of econ
omy, increased efficiency and local
control, | suggest the laws be amend
ed so as to require the certification
by the secretary of state to the re-
spective boards of supervisors Of
elections throughout the state of
Louisiana of the names Of all candi
dates for all offices, congressional,
state, district, ETC., and that the prin-
ting of the official ballots and furn-
ishing of the necessary election sup
plies be done by said boards, through
the parish printer, at the expense "
the parish in which the election is
held.
At the time of the passage of the
present laws on this subject many
parishes were without printing Off
ces. Now they all have them, and the
change suggested will relieve the
state OF considerable expense each
year, conduce to greater accuracy
and promDtness in the printing and
distribution of the ballots and sup
plies, and encourage the development
of the printing industry in the par
ishes.
Maintenance of Levees.
BY heroic sacrifice. the people IN
the riparian districts Of Louisiana
have constructed and maintained
System Of levees along the Missis-
sippi river and its tributaries which
finds no counterpart elsewa1le.S
1t is but just that the federal soy
eminent should relieve, the people OF
the lower valley from the burden OF
protecting their property from de-
struction by the waters of the great
national river
Pending the development of a SEN
timent in that direction, which shall
be crystalized into action by the gen
eral government, the state cannot re-
linquish its mighty task, and. cost
what It may, the levees that guard
untold millions Of the states wealth

Executive Patronage.

Under existing laws the executive is
charged with the duty of filling va
cancies in number of minor parish
offices. These officers are close to
the people they serve, who can fill
the vacancies occurring in their ranks
more intelligently than can the gov
ernor. / shall advocate the return Of
this power to the people. to whom it
rightfully belongs, elections to fill
such vacancies to be called by, re-
turns made to, and commissions IS
sued by, the respective parish boards
OF supervisors.

and finally, took post graduate Course
at Yale University, Conn.
Mr.. King has been useful counselor
for the colored people both in his own
church and in the community generally,
and while always entirely loyal to them
in every way, be nevertheless, both by
precept and example strove to develop in
them uprightness of character and con-
duct.
Mr.. King stood always for honesty, or.
der and sobrIety and his useful influence
in this town will be missed.

success in bis new field. Mr.. Kings sue
