Happy New Year to everybody.
Let us learn all we can this COM
ing year. There never were such
times for learning, and for apply
ing every lesson as we get it.
- sutIook is pretty good.
Crops were very good this last
year, take them all together. The
secretary of agriculture computes
that God gave agricultural IN
crease to an amount closely ap-
preaching nine billion dollar s
worth, That would be about a
hundred dollars worth of farm
products for each one Of us, which
would go long way if we did mt
insist on taking too much OF it
out in eggs at winter prices. and
Oregon apples. No doubt we shall
raise enough to eat again this
year, and some surplus to sell.
There is no hard thump due IN
business. We haven't been specu-
Iating and laying up repentanees
on that account We are at peace
with the world and likely to con-
tinue so. Living is very high, and
we seem to require a great deal
of it and of good quality, but
there is great deal to do and
wages are good
The difficulties ahead of us are
difficulties of management and
adjustment industrial difficulties
in adjustment of old enterprises to
new law; political difficulties in
ad iustment of cid machine to new
ideas and Intentions. There never
were so many new ideas loose in
the world as now, but the world
was never so well qualified to han.
die ideas. The temper of our PEG
pie In the main is reasonable
There is no violent revolution In
our air, but there is a great dea.
of patient pressure for improve
nent--for better administration Of
public affairs, better distribution
of the products of labor, restric
ton of legislated privilege, care
fuller guardianship and conserva
/ ton of all public rights and prop
erties. To attain these good things
we must work, and study
and learn alto least enough
to Judge of the merits of expert
1 advice, and follow it when it il
good. Harper's Weekly.

Eggs as Legal Tender.

Eggs are now being used as le-

looms of East Youngston. The
Tom and Jerry season, which be-

to be responsible for the situation.

of one of the largest cafes, had

by way Of Newport and Provi-

on October 26, 1871, by flyers of
which there follows verbation

The following evidently refers
to Mr.. Ducoudrais Ledoux, an
old citizen of this section. The
news item appeared in the Lake
Charles American Press of Jan
uary 2:
d. LeDoux, an old resident
of Opelousas, was arrested by
Game Warden S. E. Spence,
charged with'shipping game out
of Cameron parish without item
izing the contents of the pack
ages. He was arrested in con-
nection with two shipments, the
packages containing ducks and
snipe.
1T was said by friends of Le-
Doux that the old;man had gone
to Cameron parish to visit some
friends and that he had engaged
in a little hunting while there.
The game that he secured he sent
to his home, it is said, but he
neglected to itemize same. He
gave bond for his appearance for
trial on the charge"

The SCHELL CANAL
crowley Signal Speaks highly Of 81. Laudrv's
Great irrigation Project

1t is announced that the Union
Irrigation Company will begin to
deliver water for irrigation pur-
poses in 1911, and the pumps
will be at work about the first
of March. The installation of
the pumping plant at Washing
ton, La, has been nearly COM
pleted and five miles of the main
canal are built, while about eight
miles more will be finished in a
few weeks. The plant will be
able to irrigate from 10, 900 to
25, 600 acres of land in 1911.
The Schell canal enterprise is
the most important undertaking
of the kind ever started in the
South. Only some of the large
government irrigation under
takings in the West. are compar-
able to it. 1t proposes to draw
water laden with the Mississippi
silt through the Atchafalaya
river and Bayou Courtableau and
deliver it to a quarter Of a mil
lion acres of land in st. Landry
and Acadia parishes which are
suitable for the culture of rice,
corn sugar cane, cotton and other
crops. It's source of water sup
ply is inexhaustible, there is no
possibility of salt water, the
lands it will irrigate are not only
the very best lands for rice Gull
ture, but good natural drainage
and adaptable soil makes them
unexcelled for general crops.
The Schell canal project was
started about ten years ago by j.
Franklin Schell, who deliberately
made this tremendous enterprise
his life work. Through discour-
agements that would have put
a thousand ordinary men in sue
cessi0n in their graves Schell
preserved. A dozen times the
project appeared to have failed
because of lack of financial sup
port, for it took a vast amount of
money to make the initial install
lation for the pumping Of the
enormous amount of water ne
cessary. But at last the install
lation of the machinery is COM
plete and the canal is built. The
hardest part of the journey has
been passed and the great Schell
project is now fairly launched.
The Schell canal construction
in every way is built for perma-
nency, for the protector expects
his work to endure. So sure is
he that he can make good every
promise he makes to his GUS
toners that Mr.. Schell writes
into his contracts for water a
guarantee providing for a forfeit
in case a crop suffers from lack
of water.
The project will eventually add
a large area to rice production,
but it will add an area that can
turn to other crops when other
crops pay better. 1t is a new de-
parture in rice culture and may
be the beginning of a new and
better era for the rice farmer, if
it demonstrates that he can raise
profitably on rice lands other
cropc haSides rice.

Rrponent's FaIIacy.

The fallacy of the argument OF
the Exponent that what It terms the
Republican state machine IS all the
support President Taft has in this
state Is shown IN It's own argument
For instance. It says s. B. Avis,
prosecuting attorney OF Ranawha
county, and encouragement Joseph
H. Gaines are both av0wed Taft adj
herents. That fact tells a situation
for broader than the Exponent Ia
tended TO convey. Avis and Gaines
were bitter opponents for political
honors last year and no one rated
them as being political bedfellows.
yet both are In the Taft band
wagon.
The Exponent might have added
while It was calling attention to the
fact that Charles W. swisher had
declared for Taft, and that Arnold
C. Scherr also recently declared
himself for Taft, and then II It was
fnfbued with the idea OF clearly set
ding forth the situation. 1t would
have called attention to the bitter
struggle between swisher and
Scherr IN the last campaign IL Ger
tainly would not have been labor
ious to state that these two men are
not political bedfeIlows either but
they are both in the Taft column.
There are many other leading Re
pubIieans who differed in the last
campaign on state questions. yet
many OF them are united on Taft's
reelection. These facts are so
plain and so wei known that It Is
useless for any Democratic newspa-
per to attempt to mlslead by not
mankIng a full statement OF facts.
Machine or no machine. It is
plainIy apparent that the RePubli-
cans OF west Virginia as whole
are for President Taft and It IS a
waste Of words on the part Of the
Democratic press to try to show
otherwise. Facts are facts and they
are SO plain in this connection that
they can not be distorted with an
iotas Of success.

The Democratic state machines
Charleston speclaIIzer was busy at
the end Of the week denying that
deal had been made between the
state machine and Governor Har-
mon. by which the machine is to
hand over a solid delgadon from
West virginia to Harmon for the
Democratic nomination for Presi-
dent next year. The denial reads
as thin soup tastes-without sub
stance.
Tho machine correspondent brings
Senator Watson's name into the
matter and would like to leave the
impression that that gentleman and
the state committee and not in SYM
pathy. Here Is what the CORE
spondent says about him:
ANY attempt to steam roller
over a certain ticket could not be
achieved By Senator Watson or any
one else Without the committee"
The speeiaIizer makes clear ad-
mission In the statement quoted
that Senator Watson has a deal"
on with Harmon. but the CORE
spondent tries to cover this up with
a degree of confusion. He appears
to be unwilling to conceds that Sen
ator watson controls the committee
and thereby hangs n tale. Senator
watson IS part of the Democrats
state machine. one OF the big DEM
ocratic bosses OF the state. and
there is no party man to deny that
fact. The specializer's admission
that Senator Watson IS pushing the
Harmon campaign in the state and
the correspondents attempt to say
that the state committee must be
reckoned with have a rightful de-
duction which in effect may be de-
fined that the state machine and
the state committee are not one and
the same. and. therefore, there Is
a gulf between the controlling ele-
ments OF the party. The special
izer's logic must be most displeasing
to tho machine bosses and It is not
at all probable that the specializer
will make another break like the
one he made as herein quoted
The very fact that he said in his
denial just what the Democratic
machine bosses dId not want him to
