The British Coronation.

George V, King of England,
and Queen Mary, were officially
crowned in the city of London on
Thursday, June %, 1911, amid
the greatest pomp and and splen-
dor that was ever witnessed in
that biggest city of the world
and its teeming millions.
The ceremonies were made up
of three monster professions and
other public functions that were
witnessed by the greatest multi
tude probably that could be as
sembled in any other city. Off
cial representatives were present
from every nation, and hundreds
of thousands of sight seers.

Opening of the Parish Campaign.

The idea seems to be current
that it is a little early to open
the campaign for local offices.
In two or three campaigns past
local candidates have been in the
field by the middle of June, and
this is really the case now, as
several candidates are out, gum
shoeing," as it were, and feeling
the public pulse on the quiet.
Mr.. j. M. Wardlow was first
out with his announcement four
years ago as representative, in
the Chronicle of June 8, 1907.
Mr.. A. B. Perkins came out for
sheriff July 6. On July 20, Mr..
B. A. Fortson appeared as an
another candidate for sheriff, and
on the same date Mr.. R. R. Jeter
came out for assessor. And af-
ter that date the candidates came
out thick and fast.
So it appears that the candi-
date crop usually matches best in
warm weather, and as the heat
ed term has been on for a good
bit this season, we are Of the
opinion that several candidates
have just about incubated.

Result of the League Convention.

Result of the League Convention.
The Good Government League
held its convention in the city of
New Orleans June q, and Judge
Hall was endorsed as their can
didate for Governor, as was ex-
pected, and Mr.. Henry L. Guye-
dan, of Vermillion parish, was
endorsed for Lieut.. Governor.
Capt. G. H. Teal attended from
Grant parish, and Mr.. E. S. MUIR
rell, who did not attend, was ap-
pointed as a member of the cam
paign committee for this parish.
The convention adopted a plat
form which we will print next
week. The two candidates des-
ignated above, we believe, are
the full extent of the Leagues
endorsement, as we said would
be the case last week. All else,
from Senators down to consta-
bles, seems to be left to the re-
suit of the primary election with
out any endorsements.

School Taxes and Good Roads.

The people of Grant parish are
thoroughly alive to the impor-
lance of good schools and good
roads. We have voted a five mill
tax for five years to build good
roads, from which we have an
assured fund of 500, 900, and as
the State will give as much more,
we will have a total of 5000, 600.
Work on our first road is now in
progress. 1t is 80 miles long,
and is contracted for at a cost of
$4,000.
The proceedings of the school
board, in this issue of the Chron-
icle, show that special taxes are
to be voted in about a dozen dis
tricts for school purposes. If
the elections carry, this will
make the second time the people
of those districts have levied a
five mill tax on themselves for
five years for school purposes.
We are glad to say the carrying
of the tax is regarded as GER
tainty.
Our people regard ta1es for
good roads and schools as an IN
Uestment, and not a ta1. 1t is
purely business proposition in
which our resident citizens pay
about ten cents where non-resi-
dents pay one dollar. It is a
necessity to tax our timber in
terests now, or the time will soon
come when it's value will be re-
moved from our midst, and then
our citizens will have to pay dol
lars for schools and roads where
now they only pay dimes.

The State Political Situation.

Prof. Aswell and Mr.. Michel
are in the field with their plat
forms as candidates for governor,
and Judge Hall has also been en-
dorsed by the Good Government
League, with his platform stated
for him, all to go before the
Democratic voters for their ap-
proval or rejection.
We have given place to other
matters of an official nature that
have been crowded upon us, but
hope that in our next issue or
two we shall be able to devote
some attention to a review of the
political situation.

low the controversy to continue.
Now, here is where we believe
our Congressman should come in,
and do something in the interest
of the settlers. This great gov
eminent owes it to these people
to make good the homesteads
they have earned. Special coun-
sci should be employed by the U.
S. Government to bring these
cases to trial and press them in
the interest of the settlers.
Therefore, in behalf of the
hundreds of settlers, men, wo-
men and children, who have been
struggling for a score Of years
with jeopardy hanging over their
homes, we call the attention of
Louisiana Senators and Congress
men to this matter. Congress
men j. T. Watkins, of the 4th
District, Robt. C. Wickliff, of the
9th District and A. P. Pujo, of
the 7th District, in whose dis
tricts this land grant lies, are
especially directed to the neces-
sity for the employment of speci-
al counsel to prosecute the rights
of the settlers. In the name of
these settlers we demand that
the Government shall undo the
wrong it has done to them. The
Government created this tangle,
and it should set the matter right
at its own expense.
The employment of special
counsel for this purpose is impera-
tive, for the reasons we have
stated, and we hold that it is the
duty of our Congressman to urge
this as a righteous demand.
And, we would go a step fur
Their in this matter, and say that
we believe Hon. N. C. Blanchard
is the proper person to be en-
ployed as counsel in this prose-
cution. No one understands the
question any better than he, and
none would or could be more
thorough in it's prosecution to a
final finish. Of all our Congress
men he is the only one that has
done anything for the settlers.
He understands their rights, has
always been interested in main
tanning them, is free and untram-
meled by the railroad interests,
and it is eminently fitting that
he should be selected for this
purpose. The settlers should be |
reimbursed for every cent of ex-
pense they have been forced to
pay for the employment of coun-
sci to fight for their homes, and
the Government should give them
possession, as it promised to do. |
Therefore we urge that if Mr..
will accept this trust
he is most eminently the proper
person to represent the settlers
N the matter.
