he is the legal adviser of the Grand Jury,
but he is also the adviser of the various
parish bodies in matters often involving
large expenditures of public funds. In the
discharge of these important duties my
several years of training and experience
in both civil and criminal law qualify me.
II elected District Attorney shall do my
duty in a fair and impartial manner. It
will be my utmost desire to keep down ex-
penses and to make the faithful admins
tration of the office as small burden on
the tax payers as possible.
Having visited nearly every portion of
the district and having been solicited by
numerous citizens to make the race for the
full term in 1912, am already we'll known
to large majority of the people of the
District. In thus announcing my candi-
dacy for the unexpired term | am assured
that it will meet with the approval of my
friends throughout the District. l shall
make an effort to meet as many voters as
possible, but as the time in which to can
vass the two parishes is very short, it is
probable that | shall be unable to meet as
many voters as | should like to see. In
event l fail to see you it will be great
favor to me if you will kindly consider this
letter in my behalf. | shall deeply and
lastingly appreciate your going to the polls
on February 4th and actively assist me.
Trusting to receive your valuable sup.
port and influence and assuring you of my
gratitude for your kindness,
| am very sincerely yours,
THOMAS W. ROBERTSON.

Francis T. Nichols.

The resignation of Associate Justice
Francis T. Nichols marks the passing out
of active life one of the greatest characters
on the pages of Lohisiana's history. 1t
would take volumes to even mention the
deeds of valor marking the life of Nichols
and it suffices to say that he is loved and
honored by the people for whom he laoored
during his whole life.-Lo Sale Ledger.

To Louisiana he was true
When days were dark and friends were few,
When renegades for sordid gold
Their birthright and their country sold.
twas he, who steadfast and unmoved,
The right endorsed, the wrong reproved;
And thus, to-day, our champion stands
With patriots heart and stainless hands.
We love the man whose honored name
Adds lustre to our country's fame;
Whose manly virtues, sterling worth,
Are recognized from South to North.
In calm or storm, in veal or woe,
In dark defeat or victory's glow,
In cloudless day or starless night,
Nichols always battles for the right.

THE STATE PRESS.

New Orleans States: Mr.. Payne is a
firm believer in the future Of Louisiana
lands. He said that the tide of immigra-
ton toward Canada had been checked, If
net stopped, and that everything now
seemed to point to big movement South
ward.
Haynesville News: Gov. Nichols is
seventy nine years of age, and has served
his State with great honor and fidelity, and
it will be pleasure for the people OF Lou
isiana to care for this grand old battle
SCARED veteran of the Confederacy with
tender care.
New Orleans Times Democrat: In twelve
States of the American Union no State tax
is levied, but the money necessary for
the support of the government is raised in
other ways, through special licenses and
other sources of revenues. 1t is unneces-
sary to explain that Louisiana is not among
these fortunate ones.
Louisiana Democrat: The "Conserva-
ton Commission one of Sanders pet
schemes to wiring more money from the
people and still further strengthen his
"political machine" met last week at
Shreveport, and levied tax, on lumber,
oil, sulphur, and salt. Fortunately for us,
this autocratc Commission, which has
been invested with absolute power and I'M
limited authority, did not impose tax upon
the air we breathe. That will come later,
perhaps, unless the people conclude to put
all of Sanders Commissions" with which
he is amply supplied, out of business at the
general election in 1912. This famous
Commissioner has plethora of money
even proposes to spend $4,000 to stop the
antics of the "wild well'' at Shreveport,
and then take possession Of it, and operate
it until they get their money back. This
conservation business is the most damna-
BILE outrage ever perpetrated on a free
people.
East Feliciana True Democrat: A less
hopeful view of Mr.. Aswell's statement
would suggest that having got the high
schools and the agricultural schools SC
thoroughly under centralized control, the
powers have no fear of letting the loca
authorities play at directing these schools
just as many a small boy thinks he is
: driving the horse, and does not observe
that Father" is holding the reigns higher
up. The proposal to turn the attention Of
centralized power" to the direction O
the rural schools is not reassuring to those
schools, which still preserve some sem.
blance of freedom of action, and do no
report to Baton Rouge every time yellow
dog walks across the school grounds. Tit
: rural schools will soon have rural inspec
!, tors and long report blanks to fill out, ant
iron clad rules to observe, and thus become
more actively part of the most rigorous
Q system of espionage and discipline Their
It is, second only to that which obtains in tn
e United States Army and Navy.

Whether fruit growers know it or not, it is true
that chickens in the orchard will destroy large
numbers of the noxious insects that prey on the
fruit. By sowing cover crop in the orchard and
allowing the domestic fowls to have access to it,
they will destroy thousands of these insects. Young
chickens have great propensity for hunting in
sects of all kinds. The hooking birds that nest
about the house vines very destructive to insects
particularly when raising their young. Protect
the domestic song birds and they will prove great
