ONE TO WHOM PRAISE IS DUE

Baton Rouge notoriously lives by
the old callous law of mOnarchies:
THE King is dead, long live the
K:ng!" only Baton Rouge considers
"the King" dead from the date of
the primary, and no monarch Of an
effete dynasty receives shorter shrift
than the outgoing governor. Indeed
there is a joke current among Bat
on Rougeans that the defunct one
performs the miracle of carrying his
own suitcase out of town. Although
there were a few faithful ones to
carry the grip in behalf of the late
departed, we shall not shed tears in
any case, but we do protest against
one phase of Baton Rouge ingrati.

We have looked in vain for some
expression of loyalty to and apprecia-
ton of Mrs J. Y. Sanders, one of
the noblest, purest, little women that
ever presided over the Executive
Mansion. UnpretentiCus and simple
in manner, yet the embodiment OF
all kindliness of heart and mind, she
set these gracious qualities to work
for and with Baton Rouge. Other
women there have been at the Man
sion more brilliant than Mrs. San
ders, who have reigned more glori'
ously as social queens, but she gave
not merely her house, but herself

And yet Baton Rouge let her de-

appreciation. What a commentary
upon popular forgetfulness and g

AS TO WHIPPING coNVIcTs,

The little by.play occurred before
the Senatorial committee on peniten
tiary, between Col. Harrison Parker
and Rev. J. L. Sutton, when the for
mer called the latter a short and ug
ly name, and the latter held his
ground but, on account of his cloth
swallowed the epithet. Mr.. Suttone
contention was that whipping con
victs had a bad general effect, and
specifically cited that a case Of whip
ping caused the insurrection at An
COLO, when five men were killer
Mr.. Sutton's charge that Col. Parker
did nothing about the case was the
remark that evoked the charge ci
liar.
These events are past, and at this
juncture no proofs have been ad
vanced, pro or con in the matter
but this much is certain that the
whipping of convicts should not b'
permitted. 1t debases the conVlctS
and the officers alike. 1t gives TOT

Should the Baltimore convention
nominate Champ Clark it does so al
a great risk. 1t will gamble on the
proposition that the conservatives
of the country outDumber the pro
gressives, and recent events do not
support this view. Democratic sue
cess in the late elections itself be-
lies such a theory. What might be
described as the vogue of Roose
welt, the hold he has on the popular
fancy, Is due to the plausible way In
which he produces the impression
that he is for reform and for prog
ress. A man working by time-worn
political methods will be no match
for Roosevelt. Fire must be fought
with fire. For this reason, We be-
lieve that Gov. Wilson is the only
man making like appeal to popular
ideals.

A DAIRY STATE.

Under the above caption, city con-
temporary offers an excellent edito.
rial suggesting the various reasons
for LOuisiana's becoming a great dai-
ry state. The case Of Denmark S
growth in dairying industries is cit
ed, beginning under adverse circum-
stances until a gigantic interest in
that line was built up. The States
further says that Denmark has not
the mild climate of Louisiana, which
Is an important factor in any cattle
raising industry.
All of which is true, but two great
drawbacks to dairying or any other
industrial success in Louisiana must
be taken into consideration. Our
people in the first place have not
the indomitable habits of industry
that the Danes have, and are there
fore, in general, lax in management,
easily discouraged, failing in push
and energy. They are, to be sure,
gradually throwing aside these hab-
it's Of mind and body, but the process
is slow and initiates against great
progress in an industry, like dairy
ing, which calls for unfailing thrift
and energy.
Again, the state of apathy on the
part of the public generally, as re-
CARDS all Industrial matters, is large
ly responsible for the difficulties
that lie in the way of entire success
in dairying. This proposition In the
abstract may be best made clear by
a concrete instance. Louisiana, in
boil weeVil districts like the Felici-
anas, has already gone extensively
into dairying. Progressive men have
invested thousands of dollars in the
industry. Only a short time ago, the
business started off with hip and a
hurrah and things looked bright for
a while. But transportation troubles
began and the small ways that are
characteristic Of New Orleans deal
ers followed. The True Democrat
reproduced, a week or two ago, a
lengthy account from a city paper of
the tribulations of the dairymen in
this section, arising from inefficient
train service and absolute thieVing
Of cream some where after the milk
left the producer. SO far as has been
observed, this has not caused the
slightest ripple of press comment.
Public opinion is silent, Thus is
shown the general apathy on indus
trial subjects. Had this been a po-
litical lapse, every newspaper would
have been quick to comment. Had
it been even a case Of a stolen horse
instead of stolen cream, inquiries
would have been rife. But being
merely somebody's trouble with the
railroad and with regard to selling
milk, no interest is aroused, although
an industry, involving wealth and
success, is being throttled in its
pirth.
Something better than this must
be done to set this industry on its
feet, before Louisiana can become a
great dairying state. Public opinion
must demand a fair field and decent
transportation. A sufficiency of pow
er must be given the railroad com
mission, that it may enforce its rul-
ings where the peoples interests
as in this instance, are involved.
