uPLrFr IN LOUISIANA POLITICS.

UPLIFT IN LOUISIANA POLITICS.
Tines Democrat The eagerness with
which the poll tax for 1910 las been
paid by the voters of New Orleans gives
assurance that we are on the eve of an
up1ift in Louisiana politics. It is the
1aerest truisn to say that a democracy
aways gets the kind of government ii
deserves. Nothing but the apathy of
th average man enables machine poll
ticNns to seize and hold power. Again
and again have rings been smashed with
the utmost ease, when the masses were
yoused TO the realities of the case. Yet
II IS necessarily difficult to stir the busy
men of a great city from the routine of
their daily lives. The rural voter, hav-
ing fewer distractions, is much more
free to think and to act Yet experience
shows that the people of New Orleans
have never failed to strike in crisis.
In 1874 they crushed the carpetbag re-
gime at a blow. in 1888 every ward ex-
cept one was carried by overwhelming
maiofities.,'
An uplift in Louisiana politics will
lead TO the regeneration of the State.
4 IS about time that the people who
favor good government honestly and
economically administered should be-
come self-assertive and remove the
leeches and the barnacles which have
been sucking the vitals of the State.

HIGH RECORD FOR POLL TAXES.

New Orleans Picayune: The poll tax
payments for 1910 have exceeded those
Of the preceding year by over nine thous-
and. The fine showing made has been
due largely to the persistent campaign
that has been conducted by the Poll Tax
Association and a realization that the
payment of the tax was essention to
taking part in the local and State politi-
cal campaign of 1912 That so many
have paid the tax encourages all who
believe II good government to expect
that the next city and State elections
will BE warmly contested and that the
best possible candidates viii Be selected
and elected
IN this high record is renewed the
hope Of the citizens of the State, beyond
the confines of the parish of Orleans, to
reach decided and much needed i'm
provement ID the management Of the af-
fasrs of The State.
When the majority in New Orleans
favoring government for the people
and not Of the politicians, shall join
with the citizens Of the State of the ru-
faI dissssss ia the reforms which are.
imperative, there viii follow the dawn
of better things. This high record for
the poll taxes should be gratifying to all
geodpIawabiding and progressive citizens.

VINCENT TALKS ABOUT

Bridgeport Commissioner Tells Board of Trade of Methods in Euro
 pean Cities.
Special to The Farmer.)

Stratford, Nov. 10-An audience of representative men listened to the ad- dress of s. E. Vincent of Bridgeport, before the meeting of the Board of Trade, held at the town hall, last night. MT. Vincent is much interest ed in municipal reform and while on tour through Europe investigated the municipal methods of many cit ies. His talk dealt in a large meas ure with municipal ownership and his deductions could be interpreted in no other way than as an endorsement of this plan of managing public utilities. him by those present were arguments were deeply impressed with his re- ports of the success of municipal own ership in German cities where the plan has been carried further than in any other country. His remarks plainly showed the advantages of the owner ship by municipalities of the water and gas supply, and the means of trans portation.
 The board voted to make an effort to obtain crosswalks on the various streets which have heretofore been rivers of slush during the winter and impossible by anyone without rubber boots. The streets that have been oiled also present an almost impass- able barrier to ladies and those who care for cleanliness. It is proposed to lay at least dozen crosswalks this season if such action can be obtain ed.

boys enter our premises before our eyes and fill bags with apples, nuts, and even vegetables. We have made several arrests but that does not seem to stop it. These men do not seem to feel that they are doing anything wrong. I caught one fellow stealing potatoes. I intended to have him ar rested but thought would question him first. I asked him what he was going to do with the potatoes. He said he had family of seven chill dren. He worked in one of the fac tories and received from 90 cents to $1.25 a day with layoff occasionally when work was slack. He came here from Austria eight years ago but has never been able to get ahead. He be able to earn larger wages. He said his family lived mainly on bread and lentisls with an occasional piece of meat. It was about all he could do to clothe his children. His wife took in washing when she was able, at home. Everything Is so high here now that he could not provide prop erly on the wages he received, and he made excursions out into the country as often as possible to help out the family Harder. I believe the man was heart to arrest him so filled up his bag with potatoes and put in few apples for the little ones and sent him home. He was very grateful and of fered to come out and help me any time he was laid off and take his pay in produce. On recent Sunday we counted over 30 men and boys on bicy- cles, each with a bag full of some- thing taken from the farms about here. One man passed without any evidence of having raided the country and we remarked that he was the first we had seen for a long time who had no bag with him. I believe the economic conditions of the city are more to blame for this state of af- fairs than the poverty stricken people who commit the depredations."
