NOT LOOKING FOR TROUBLE.

Several years ago the government
forbade polygamy among the Indians
an order that was not, it seems,
implicitly obeyed. Quanah Parker
chief of the Comanches, told the com,
mlttee on Indian affairs that many
of his tribe had more than one wife.
The committee directed him to tell
the offenders that this condition of
affairs must cease; that the extra
wives must be sent home to their
parents.
At a later session Parker again
appeared before the committee.
Did you tell your bucks that
they must have but one wife, Par
kerr"
Eyes, me tell 'um," responded
the Indian.
Did they get rid of the extra
wives?"
Yes, all gone," answered the
chief.
But" urged a committeeman, al
am told that you yourself have six
wives"
Yes, me got Six" said Parker
Now that will not do, Parker. You
have got to get rid of those extra /
wives. You go home and tell them
TO leave. Send them back to their
Tell them to go home"
You tell UNI" responded Parker.

the Kansas City Star, said the other
evening, with a good deal of discOn,
tent in her voice:
What on earth Isl the use of a
life Like mine? I get up, go to work,
get home, go to bed. Then l do it

least as dong as l can foresee. Whats

Thousands would jump at the

youth, health, perhaps beauty, in a
land like this. From such positions,
and Less favorable ONES, have come
the majority of the useful and prom
inent men and women of the world.
About thirty years ago an ambi-
tious young girl entered a good coun-
try store as a clerk. She received
low wages but invested her savings
in farm property. A few years ago
she realized that her income was
ample to support her without work,
so she stopped. She takes life easy
ON the lakes, in California, or in
her comfortable home, but says she
really enjoyed life more when a busy
clerk than she does now with plenty
of money and no responsibility. Then
there were dozens of calls every day
from customers for her to wait on
them; she was an officer in the
lodge and an active worker in church
and social circles. She has had TO
give up most of these pleasures in

WILL AID FLOOD SUFFERERS.

Relief for the flood sufferers in
the inundated parishes of Louisiana
will be provided for during the pres,
ent session of the Legislature, but
the exact form of State aid has not
been determined upon.
One of the plans suggested is to
postpone the payment of 1912 taxes
in the inundated parishes until 1913.
Another plan is to appropriate mon
ey out of the treasury to buy seed
for the farmers, unless the Federal
government can be induced to come
to the rescue with seed.
Nineteen parishes have been wholly
or partly flooded and the indications
are that two more Will be inundated,
making total of twenty-one parish
es affected, or about one-third of the
parishes of the State.

JUDGE PUGH ANNOUNCES.

10 the Voters of the Fourth Su,
preme District:
Under. the primary system, candi
dates are called upon to state to
the electorate the reasons of their
candidates.. My candidacy for the
Associate Judgeship of the Supreme
Court of Louisiana is prompted and
based on the belief that there
should be a change in the method
of reaching decisions by the Su-
preme Court. Be the cause what
ut may, it is undeniable that under
the present system, the litigant OBJ
tains the opinion of only one Judge
on the law and the facts, whereas
he is absolutely entitled to the
judgment Of all five. In saying this,
let it be well understood that I cast
no reflection on the Court as now
constituted; the evil, however, ex-
lists and should be corrected. If
further legislation is necessary, it
should be enacted at once. l trust
my candidacy will direct public at
tention to this state of affairs and
bring abb ut the desired results. In
common with every one of my pro-
fession, have laudable ambition
to be a member of that distinguish
ed court, and this, perhaps, is ac-
centuated by the fact that should
the people see proper to choose NE

DIRECTORS SHOULD DIRECT.

When will the dense public rise up
and demand that a director shall d.
rect, also that a bank examiner shall
examine.
If we may judge by the revelation
made by the inquiry into the man
agememnt of the late Teutonia Bank
& Trust (O Company, Inc, of New
Orleans, both have been flagrantly
haglectful Of their duty.

rectors and examiners were held res

DAMMlNG THE OUTLETS.
Monroe NeWs-Star::

MOHIOe NeWS-Sldf.
One of the best arguments vet
made for outlets, in connection with
substantial levees, was made about
eighteen months ago by the engi-
neers who were commissioned to as
certain whether 1T was desirable or
feasible to close the Atchafalaya riv-
er at its source and prevent MiSsis-
Slppi river water, during flood stages,
from flowing through that stream. It
lE said now that tWO-thirds of the
flood water from the Panther For
est, Red Fork and Salem crevasses
IS flowing out to the gulf through
the Atchafalaya river, and one,
third through the Mississippi, thus re-
lieylng, to a large extent, the tense
situation on the Mississippi below
the mouth Of the Red. The engi-
neers, after careful examination. sub
mltted a report in which they declar-
ed that if the Atchafalaya river was
closed, it would be necessary to build
leVees on the banks of the lower
river higher. If that is true, certain
ly the converse is true: If there
were more outlets, properly con-
structed and safeguarded, the levees
would not have to be raised every
year and then topped with sacks
when the floods come.
