The climax of courtesy and Of
fetal hospitality to the foremost
actor for Nippen in the Russo
Japanese War, Admiral Count
Heihachiro Togo was reached in
Washington when President Taft
received the famous visitor on
Saturday last, giving an official
dinner in his honor, later followed
by a reception which was most
largely attended by Representa-
tives from the official diplomatic
and residential sets. No proper
thoughtful attention will be omit
ted during Admiral Togo's stay
in the United States to disprove
the baleful gossip that has occur.
ed from time to time intimating
hostile sentiments between Japan
and this Nation. The Nelson of
Japan will be cheerfully accorded
the privilege of visiting our navy
yards and shops. He may see all
that he cares to see about our
navy and it is believed that moth.
ing could more effectually con-
vince the Orientals of the friendly
professions of our people for them.

The reciprocity bill, the passage
of which, was the sole purpose Of
President Taft in calling Congress
together in extra session has been
disposed of and will become a
law as soon as the Canadian Par.
lament approves the same. Only
a small portion of the reciprocity
agreement is in operation as vet
and that portion which is now
operative relates to wood pulp
which Canada produces. This
however will be q great benefit to
the newspapers as it will give
them relief from the white paper
trust which has had the price
right up to the top notch. Cana.
da has now entered upon a cam
paign for the election of q new
parliament which is to pass upon
the reciprocity. measure. It ia
thought that Sir Wilfried Laurier
the Prime Minister of Canada.
will hold more than q majority in
the new Parliament which.will be
chosen in September and that the
reciprocity will be promptly ap.
proved.

The fact that farming lands in
the Southern states can be bought
for about one.third the price that

thousand acres in the same state.

The past week has shown con.
siderable activity by the various
aspirants for the gubernatorial
nomination. In numerous parts
OF the state large meetings have
been held. A fact which has de.
veloped very prominently the past
few days, is the growing strength
OF the regular candidate, Hon.
John T. Michel. Clubs pledgine
him their support have been or.
ganized in various parishes and
it is quite easy to foresee that the
Michel cause is a winner. He was
present at the Sanders rally at
the capitol and the cheers for him
were very enthusiastic. The
BANNER is espousing the cause of
Mr.. John T. Michel because it be.
lieves that of all the aspirants in
the field he is the imost deserving
and best qualified.

Senator Fosters Defense Of Our
Interests.

1t is worthy of note that while
all the noise is going on in polit-
ical circles in Louisiana, Senator
Foster is quietly, but effectively
doing good work for the people of
Louisiana a. the national capitol.
This too, while his own political
fortunes are. involved. The most
recent victory achieved by the
senior Senator is his defense of
the sugar and rice growing inter-
ests of the State, which were be-
ing greatly endangered by the
latent enactments of Congress.
The sugar and rice industry of
the State owe him debt of graft
tude which they can hardly re-
pay. There is. we repeat, some.
thing admirable in the Senator's
course in not leaving the national
capitol for his own political in
terests in this State, and the peo-
pie of the State, ever devoted to
political servants, will know what
to do when the primary election
comes around in January next.
Herewith We append an extract
of the New Orleans Picayune of
recent date:
"The blind and foolish confidence
which our Louisiana people have
in the stability of their rice and
sugar interests was subjected to a
rude shock yesterday when the
Democratic free list was being
voted on in the Senate.
1.-THE amendment adding sugar
to the free list had been offered
by Senator Bristow, of Kansas,
and through the watchful care of
Senator Foster had been defeated,
but when Senator Lodge, of Mass.
achusetts, proposed an amend.
ment making rice free, a. vote was
taken and the amendment adopted
before any one really knew what
had been done, and rice was on
the free list.
"But, fortunately ,ISenator Foster
was on guard, and before the viva
voce vote was registered he call
for an aye and no expression by
the Senate. This could not we'll
be refused, and while the roll was
being called on the question Sem
ators Foster and Thorton quickly
got around among the senators,
using such influence as they could |
to secure a change in their de-
cisions, and as Senator Fosters
personal popularity among the
enatorsis very great, he was able
to accomplish the all-important
result of having the vote reversed,
defeating the Lodge blow at rice.
Some of the old-guard Republic
cans voted to save the rice tariff.
but OF the Southern senators Gore
and Owen, of Oklahoma, cast their
votes for free rice.
"It, therefore, becomes neces.
,ary for our people to look out for
heir interests. All the indica.
ions are that they have lost the
'avy-yard, they need be surpris.
I'd at any other blow that may be
iealt them from Washington"

Last SATURDAY the greatest oVa'

panied by two bands, attending
the rally. It was, to say the least,
the most rousing and enthusiastic
political outpouring ever Witness
ed in the State capitol. The ad.
dress delivered by Governor San
ders on the occasion was a com.
plete refutation of all the false and
slanderous accusations brought
against his administration for
selfish political reasons. He
clearly defined his position on the
ever.absorbing tariff question
making it clear that he stands, as
always, on the Democratic plat
form of tariff for revenue only,
with incidental protection to our
local industries-sugar, rice, lum-
Der. etc. A to the persistent
charges that the Sanders admin.
istration of the affairs of this State
has been the most extravagant on
record and that. as Chief Ex-
ecutive, he has violated every
pledge made to the people, the
able gentleman showed conclu-
sively, by facts and figures, that
his administration has shown a
vast saving over that of his prede.
cessor by something over 800, 900.
In pensions to Confederate

BY questioning closely two women
who sought divorces on the ground of
deserticn Judge Richard e. Burke dis
covered that in one case the husband
and wife had agreed to separate. while
In the other case the husband had
asked his wife to sue for divorce and
had offered to pay part of the cost.
Very properly the judge refused de-
crees to both applicants. The law
does not recognize an agreement or
mutual desire to separate as proper
grounds for divorce. says the Chi
cago Record-Herald. Society does not
sanction marriages that are dissolva-
BILE because a man and woman are
tired of each other. Judge Burke's ac-
ton, however, raises the question of
how many divorces have been OBJ
tanned for no other reason. the collu-
sion not being revealed There are
judges who are very careful about
granting divorces. There are others
who enter DEGREES as quickly as they
would give judgment on all unpaid
note. when no defense is made.
