Still Trying to stem the Tide Of
Michel's Popularity.

The anti-Michel organs anG
orators, having nothing else tt
harp on, are strenuously at work
criticising him for his land pur.
chases. Now they have gotten on
to another phase of these transact
tons. They assert that he bought
q sheet of water known as White
Lake, a navigable lake in Vermil-
lion parish; that he bought this
lake from the State for a song and
that he bartered it or sold it to an
irrigation concern Immediately
thereafter, aud that the latter
concern is making big money
with it by furnishing fresh water
to adjacent rice planters for ir-
rigation purposes, all contrary to
the moral ethics of law, etc. The
fact of the matter is, Mr.. Michel
bought this as swamp land, as he
was led TO believe. and that he
did not nor could not know that it
was a lake or anything else but
q marsh or swamp; and even if
he did know, the tract belonged
to the State on account of it's
closed character and it's sale to
one of it's citizens was perfectly
legitimate and legal. The White
Lake bomb was duly exploded
and at once fizzled out; but, moth
ing daunted, Mr.. Michel's enemies
soon "came back" at him again
and charged him with "taking
advantage of his public Office" to
pre.empt large tract of marsh
lands at Chef Menteur, a favorite |
hunting resort in proximity to the
parish OF Orleans. Not only that,
but shortly after doing this he
bounced down upon lot of poor
settlers in that region and actually
to evict them if they
did uot pay him the rents, etc.
On this single proposition he is
being portrayed as the prototype
Of an English landlord cruellyj

With the poor classes of people
throughout the State. Now in
,uying these lands, and granting f.;
ONE of them have been resold

uits, his acts OF purchase have

In Honduras there have been seven
revolutions in y years. Its territory
reaches from ocean To ocean. ana its
neutrality is rarely preserved when its
neirhbors are ut war These condi-
tons necessitate the keeping up, al
great expense, of it's army. General
arbitration treaties can have little in
nuence over the countries subject IL
these conditions. The shifting OF gov
eminent from one group to another
would weaken greatly the practical
binding force of such treaties, and the
unsettled condition OF the population
makes it necessary that a more effec-
| tive method to secure tranquility and
quiet must be found. and thereby the
forces among these peoples making for
civilization and progress must be Civ

Arbitration Treaties.

My Fellow Citizens: The subject of
the ratification of treaties by the Sem
ate is frequently confidential, and that
prevents public discussion of the pros
land cons which might sometimes be
useful Treaties are much less the
subject of public consideration than
are statutes. and yet when ratified
they are as binding upon all of us as
statutes, because by the Constitution
they become the law of the land. In
this respect they differ from treaties
of other governments. which are only
international contracts. Sometimes
the Senate removes the injunction OF
secrecy from treaties and the discus
sion of their merits. 1t is to certain
treaties which l have submitted to the
Senate, and which that body has no"
published and laid before you for con-
Isidnration and discussion, that cal
yntir attention tonight. They are the
treaties | made with the Republic OF
Honduras and the Republic Of Nicara-
qua. for the purpose of securing a loan
TO each OF these Central American Re-
puhlies.
We have heard a great deal during
the past six months in favor Of gen
|eral. arbitration treaties for the pro-
ImCtion Of the peace of the world.
believe there has been of late more
genuine EXPIRE ssion Of sentiment
among all the people Of the earth for
peace than eyer before in the world ;
history The craving for some effec-
tive means oil promoting peace grows
not So much out OF actual war as out
Of the desperation with which the
great nations are increasing the stu

with the growing menace Of bankrupt

The fact is that we have had very
little aEar in the last - years. and
one of the reasons has been the rival
ry in preparation for war and the Ger
tainty of financial disaster 10 some
nations which must follow.
Among these great nations there Is

and the aw-a hiding character OF the
population. Universal treaties Of ar
