How to Fin Fault.

Find fault, when you must find
fault, in private; and some time

Our Progressive Police Jury.

The present police jury of
Grant parish has been progress
sive and accomplished a large
amount of work of great import
ance to the people. This week
they finished paying for a fine
steel bridge at Rochelle costing
over $4,000. Also they appropri-
ated $500 to be used by the Grant
Parish. Fair Association in the
payment of premiums to the peo-
pie. Also they are guilty of in
stituting the building of good
roads for the benefit of the peo-
pie. 1t is high time somebody
was raising a fuss about the way
the police jury is spending the
peoples money for the benefit of
the general public.

1t Was a Sensible Change.

Because our police jurors used
their best judgment in accepting
the Constant bid to build the

narrow criticisms have been
made about their action, in chang
ing their minds after they knew
more about the facts. An old
citizen very sagely remarks that
the best reply to such criticism
is contained in the trite adage:
Wise men sometimes change
their nds-fools never do"

How to Make Pea Soup.

1t is waste of good material
not to make pea soup every tim.
you have peas for dinner. When
they are boiled much Of their value
is left in the water, and when this
is thrown. away you do not get
more than half of the good of them,
and soup is always an excellent
beginning for dinner. To MAKE
it after the peas are shelled, wash
the hulls and put them to cook in
cold water that does not more than
cover them. Let them simmer q
while till they look faded" then
throw them away and put the peas
to boil in the same water. When
done, dish them as usual. They
are improved by the additional
flavor given by the hulls. Then
add some good milk to the water
and thicken it slightly with about
tablespoonful each of butter aud
flour rubbed to paste, and season
with salt and pepper. When peas
are too old to be good, use them
to thicken the soup by putting
them through colander. 1t is
true of any boiled vegetable that
much of its value stays in the water
in which it was cooked; and any
one of them can be made into soup
in the same manner as the peas.

At the meeting of the State
Bar Association, in Lake Charles
last week, Hon.. E. H. Randolph
devoted a considerable portion of
his address to discussion of the
referendum and recall, and he is
reported as having assailed these
doctrines as dangerous and per-
nicious, and to have sounded a
vigorous warning against adopt
ing any such political doctrines
in Louisiana.
We are sorry the press reports
of Mr.. Randolph's remarks that
we have seen do not give his
views in sufficient fullness to un-
derstand his ideas on the subject,
but we assume that they are in
line with the great body of think
ers who have made extensive
study of our Constitution and its
adaptation to the government of
a free and enlightened people,
who recognize that their liberties
are best protected by its safe and
well balanced provisions.
The fundamental ideas of our
latter day statesmen are all en-
braced in the present u. S. Con-
stitution, and very little change
can be made in its provisions
without disturbing safeguards
that are absolutely necessary for
the well being of the nation.
The liberty of the people in the
initiative is held by political stu
dents to be ample under present
conditions; and the people also
have the power of the referend-
UNI at considerable latitude. Re-
call by impeachment also already
exists from President down to
constable. So there is very lit
tie cause for further enlargement
along these three particular lines
in a government where officials
can be changed in two or four
years, or a very few years in any
case.
The time for the exercise of |
the initiative is provided for in
our primaries, and failure to ex-
ercise proper care at that time is
scarcely to be cured by exercise
of hurried and exciting campaigns
for recall of officials wrongly
elected. So long as the mob is
to be swayed by the sophistry of
just so long will
hurried political action be unsat-
isfactery and dangerous to the
stability of government.

Speaking of Hon. Woodrow
Wilson in connection with the
Presidency of the United States
for the next term, the Washing
ton Herald puts it this way:
In the Arabian Nights is a
story of a man who, walking
along the seashore, discovered a
jar. Opening it he released a
genii whose enormous stature
filled the whole horizon. When
some one opened the door of
Princeton University and Wood
row Wilson came forth, the tale
of the genii found its counterpart
in modern times"
To which the Daily States adds:
There is a a great deal of truth
in the Herald's observation.
Woodrow Wilson now fills a large
space in the public eye, because
within few months the country
has come to know him as great
Democrat, not a narrow partisan.
but a Democrat who has arrayed
himself squarely on the side of
the people because he believes
firmly in popular government. -

Ex-Prest. Porfirio Diaz Expatriated.

ASSe' viHiio DidZ EApdtTldteO.
The Mexicans were ruled with
an iron hand by Porfrio Diaz for
thirty years, and yet his tyranny
has resulted in progress in that
country. Himself and family
embarked on a steamer for Vera
Cruz in the early morning of
May q, and have become volun-
tary exiles. He was "a years of
age, and was a most remarkable
man in many respects. His act
of resignation for his country's
good was accepted in good faith
by the Rebels, because they knew
the man, and knew his word to
be good.
1t now remains to be seen
whether the people who clamored
for his removal will institute any
better government for this ferv
and rebellious nation. In any
event the present war is over.
unless the Insurgents continue
to war among themselves for
preferment and power.

A Question for Senators and Con-
RreSSmen.

grcSSmen.
We publish a letter this week
about 1.-The Undecided Claims of
Settlers, to which the attention
of Louisiana Senators and Con-
gressmen is directed. The COM
plant of our correspondent is
well founded. There are a great
many citizens Of Grant as well as
other parishes of the State who
are interested in this matter.
Some years ago, when Mr..
Blanchard was in Congress, a
compromise agreement of some
nature was gone into by him and
other Congressman, by which
the settlers on the Backbone
Land Grant" were supposed to
have secured some sort of advant-
ayeous terms for settlement Of
their claims against the railroad.
Dust what those terms or condi-
tons were we cannot remember
at this moment, but our impress
sion is that each one had to pre-
sent his claim and file some sort
of suit, and the terms of the
agreement would be enforced by
the government on behalf of the
settlers.
We understand that a number
of such suits have been filed, and,
as our correspondent alleges,
have been pending Is or Is years
without any decision as yet. If
this is the case, a great outrage
has been perpetrated upon these
settlers, and somebody should be
lacked up about it. Therefore
we call upon Senators Foster and
Thornton, Representative Pujo,
of this district, and the other
Louisiana Representatives, to
give this matter a sitting.
Mr.. N. G. Blanchard can prob
ably give a better explanation as
to the condition of things than
any other man we know, and we
respectfully invite him to give
the press of the State an account
of the terms of the agreement in
question, in short and succinct
terms that the ordinary layman
can understand.
In any event, the case is one
calling for action, and we believe
our Senators and Representatives
are the ones to look into it, and
that they should give the people
a correct understanding about the
matter.
