results to accrue from Louisiana's

says that the commission is receiv-
ing support and cooperation from
practically every section of the
State.
We moi only will endeavor TO
hold an exhibit of Louisiana agri-
cultural products that will reflect
great credit on every parish and on
every branch of our agricultural
industry, but we expect to do so in
a way that will attract more favor

other states" said DR.. Dodson to-
day. In addition, we will conduct
a publicity and advertising cam
paign that will go a long way to-
ward making A Louisiana Farm
household synonym all over the
country for agricultural prosperity.
In this work we shall do our best
to bring the resources and oppor-
ttinities of the state at large and of
the several distinct sections into
the public limelight, and in such a
way as to show no faVorites. On
this score | want to request the

FAIR BUILDINGS BLOWN DOWN

The fair grounds and buildings
where so recently was held our sue
cessful county fair, is today a mass
of wreckage, due to a destructive
tornado which struck the buildings
of the Association Sunday after
noon. All day there had been
threatenings of rain. In the morn
ing heavy mist was over every
thing, al ost a rain. After dinner
the air cleared up, yet the indica-
tons of a storm were very appar-
ent. About 4 o'clock the wind sud-
denly came up from the northwest,
with a velocity which betokened
something more than an ordinary
rain. Almost Immediately the rain
commenced, and it increased with a
fury which was intense. Raining
did not express tit simply came
in sheets so thick that the eye could
not penetrate it. Lightning flashed
and thunder pealed in a manner
which meant trouble for some one.
And when there came cessation of
hostilities it was found that there
was indeed trouble. the buildings of
the fair grounds being the ones to
suffer. Cottonwood Citizen.

BEHIND THE POLITICAL SCENES.

From now until June next, two
questions will be presented to the
Republicans of the country, with
increasing insistence. They are in
separable and upon the answers to
them both depends the solution of
the tariff, railroad, trust and con-
servation problems-the political
control of the country for four years.
Will President Taft be renominat-
ed? If he is, will he be reelected?
These two questions have con-
fronted politicians for months. They
have been carefully weighed in the
light of the last election, the returns
for which are worth searching anal
sis.
In 1910 the Democrats carried q
states, of which "a have Democratic
governors, while % states now have
amajority of Democrats in Congress.
Butt must be noted that although
the standpatters lost some eighty
seats in Congress in the landslide,
the Progressives doubled their rep
resentation in the lower house.

DOWN TRUSTS; UP FARMER.

Reciprocity, in vicious guise. has
passed.
The Canadian farmer did what the
American farmer would have done
had an opportunity been given him.
The pact has been crushed and the
trusts of two countries have lost.
The treaty was framed in the in
terests of the corporations.
Its authors said: 1.-The farmers,
pooh, they can stand it. Besides
what can they do. They'll have to
stand it."
Which was true had not Canada
interviewed.
There would have come a day,
but it was far in the future, at least
after the next harvest.
Now the farmer can save that har-
vest.
Canada has removed Liverpool
from our dooryards, it has twisted
the necks of the trusts. The defeat
of this measure means, primarily:
That the price of wheat will be
governed, largely, by the conditions
in the United States.
Had the pact passed it would have
thrown US into direct competition
with the world, a condition we must
eventually reach but for which we
are not yet ready.
1t would have torn down the
farmers protection and kept intact
the bulwarks of the trusts.

1t the railroads of Minnesota are
happy in the belief that they can
boost the price of hauling freight
and people, after the latter have
been convinced that two-cent pas
senger fare and reduced commodity
transportation have been demon
strated sufficient to continue fat div
idends, they are having a dream
that is to be rudely awakened. An
increase in the gross earning tax,
may or may not be part of the So
luton, but there will be solution.
The voters of Minnesota are not as
boneheaded as the politicians who
look after the interests of the rail-
roads imagine. -Bemidji Pioneer.

party. Walker Pilot.
At first glance the passing of a
law increasing the railroad gross
earnings tax from 4 per cent to 5
per cent looks good. But what's
the use? Before the railroads paid
one tax assessment, they would get
some dub of a Judge to declare the
tax "copfiscatory" or they would
boost freight rates on an unsuspect-
ing public or otherwise punish the
dear people, or both. What's the
use? Give us instead the recall of
judges. -Itasca County Independent.

Furthermore, 1t is the decision that

Down in Florida the courts have a

sufferings, two Of her friends were
moved to pity and at the sick wo-
mans request saturated handker-
chief with chloroform and placed it
over her face and her misery was
ended. The friends of the woman
were indicted, and will be prosecut-
ed. While the act is of course
against the law, the parties accused
make no denial Of the offense, if
such it is, and from the standpoint
of mercy and humanitarianism there
may be some chance for an argu-
ment. Peter Tribune.
/ There appears to be some doubt
as to the methods by which congress
sional candidates for congressman
at large shall be placed on the ticket
by the nominating convention or
at the primary election, same as dis
trict congressman. The politicians
claim that they must be nominated
at the state convention, but from
quotations of the law by the Duluth
Herald, it is difficult to see how they
arrive at that conclusion. Should it
finally be determined that they be
selected at the primary election, it
will be necessary to make a new
alignment of candidates, as it is
doubtful if any of the candidates
being touted for nomination under
the convention plan would stand
much chance under the primary
election law. Elk River Star News.

To secure his reelection, President

losing any votes in the Progressive
states which then stayed in the Re-
