sugar and rice interests and the
fact that he purposes to do SO as
a aDemocratis is themore tolhis cred
it, as others have not hesitated
to adopt the less frank position
Of working with the Republicans
while soliciting Democratic votes.
e h strongest claim that the
sugar duty has upon Congress is
that it is the best revenue pro-
ducer that exists. It yields at
the minimum cost for collection
about $55, 900, 900 of revenue an
nually, and no Democratic Con-
gress has ever seriously consid-
cred its elimination from the
tariff list. AS in all probability
the next Federal administration
will be Democratic, and it is even
possible that the Senate as well
as the House will be also Demo-
cratic, a Democrat willing to act
with his party is certain to be. in
a much more commanding posi-
ton to work for the protection
of Louisiana's interests than if
he went to the Senate as an
avowedly free lance.
Owing to his eloquence1 and his
ability, Gov. Sanders is certain
to win commanding position in
the United States Senate and
will therefore be in a much bet
ter position to safeguard sugar
and rice than any man of more
modest ability or of doubtful poll
tical affiliations. n. @. Picayune

SEN. FOSTER OPENS HIS
SENATORIAL CAMPAIGN
In St. Landry Parish This Week.--Addresses the
People of Opelousas at a Meeting at the
Courthouse on Last Wednesday Night.

Posters announcing the arrival
of the Senior Senator, and that
he would speak to the electorate
on the night of the 10Th inst.
have been prominently posted
for the past two weeks.
The cold weather, however,
interferred with the size of the
crowd which assembled. Capt.
;. ]. Thompson called the meet
i ing to order, and introduced Or.
A. ]. Bercier, the eminent
Dentist of this town, as perna-
nent chairman. DR.. Bercier in
Well-chosen words declared that
two very distinguished gentle
men were running for the 1913
term, viz: Senator Foster, the
present incumbent, and Con-
gresham Ransdell; that Louis
lana can i'll part with either of
these men, and that they should
both remain where they were in
the public service.
A list of presidents was
read by Capt. Thompson.
The Hon. Thos. H. Lewis ad-
vanced to the chairman's side,
and reminded the audience that
the credit for securing this list
of vice-presidents, was due to
the interchangeable. labors of Mr..
Dubuisson, who with Judge
Pavy, were unavoidably absent
at court in Evangeline.
Senator Foster advanced to the
front and was introduced by the
chairman; he dWelt on his white
supremacy record, on his anti
lottery record, his record as Gov
ernor, and his record in the Sen
ate where he had spoken on the.
important issues since he was in
the Senate, and especially in
what he characterized as the
greatest piece of constructive
legislation of the age, the
broadening of the powers Of the
Interstate American Commission.
He spoke of his tariff record as
b e in G strictly on Democratic
lines, in that protection to rice
and sugar was a Democratic
proposition, especially the latter,
and the Republicans being in
imical to its protection, because
it created so much revenue that
it deprived them Of taxing some
of their pet industries.
He alluded to his saving of
rice and sugar at a critical mo-
ment and read statements from

At the conclusion Of the ad-

per had been provided by the
Committee in charge of the
affair, and nearly one hundred
persons took seats at the festive
board. Although the menu was
f. somewhat limited owing to the
fact tnat it was Friday, it was
much enjoyed, and the best of
spirits animated all who partici-
pated. Toasts were proposed by
the representatives of the sew
eral Councils present, and Past
Grand Knight Sandoz oficiated
as POSTMASTER. Chas. O. Mou-
ton, Past Grand Knight of La

Knights as the representative of
his Council; William Burke, the
Lecturer of Iberia Council, rep
resented that Council, and F. V.
Mouton, the F. S. of Lafayette
Council, spoke as the representa-
tive of those Councils that were
not represented.
At the conclusion of these sew
eral addresses h e Supreme
Knight was again called upon to
speak and this he did in most
happy fashion. He congratu-
lated Opelousas Council on the
fine record it had made for it.

elegant Home Of the Council
urging the Knights to take much
interest in their home and to
make of it all that it was in

place of enjoyment and the pre-

The large number of guests
present were profuse in their ex-

knights, and congratulated them
on the excellence of the recep-

who graced the occasion by their
presence.

We noted in our last issue the
official visit of Hon. James Fla
herty, the Supreme Knight of
the knights of Columbus, to the
local Council, but the reception
had not taken place when we
went to press. This interesting
event occurred at the Home of
the Knights in this city on last
Friday night, and was partici-
pated in not only by large num-
ber of the members Of this Coun-
Gil, but delegations from several
other Councils in the State were
present to assist in extending a
welcome to the distinguished
officer. It was a memorable
effair in the history Of Opelousas
Council and all who were pres
ent will long remember t h e
pleasures of the occasion.
L. Bienvenu, the Grand Knight
of Opelousas Council, made an
address of welcome to the Su-
preme Knight on behalf of its
membership; P. L. Chappuis, the
District Deputy, welcomed him
on behalf of the Second LOUIS
lana District, and State Deputy,
Judge Paul Leche, delivered an
address on behalf of the State.
All showed by their acts and
words that they were much
pleased at the visit of the dis
tinguis ed head Of the order and
ttheiiEs. thEaeiiE Ehaesppitahle welcome TO our
beloved city and State was most
gratifying to HIM, as his response
clearly indicated.
His address was somewhat diff
ferent in every respect to what
Is generally expected on such an
occasion, but it was none the less
appreciated by all who were for
tunate enough to have heard
him. After voicing his gratitude
at the magnificent reception he
had been accorded during the
week spent in the State, and
thanking the officers who had
extended him welcome on this
occasion, he spoke entertainingly
on the work which the order
was accomplishing, and detailed
some Of its important achieve
ments, principal among which
was t h e $500,000 endowment
which the Knights were raising
to present to the Catholic Uni
versity at Washington, an d
which had already been assured.
His address was not only inter-
esting and instructive, but his

Through their efforts one thou
sand barrels of corn of a value
of $1,000 were saved, and Mr.. Bo-
agni feels very thankful for the
service rendered in this respect
but particularly grateful for the
act of kindness Of the fireman in
going far out of their city to as
sist in saving his property.
There was no insurance on the
building or contents, the insur-
ance having expired only a short
time since.
