FOUR FUNDS WIPED OUT.

Gov. Hall has $4,000 to maintain
his office, repair and renovate the
Executive Mansion and for travelling
expenses. A statement prepared by
State Treasurer 0. B. Steele to-day
shows that there is nothing to the
credit of four of the funds handled
by the Governor, and there is in the
bank to thecredit of the Governors
office fund, subject to check by the
oVernor, only $4,000.
The four funds are Expenses of
Governors office" repairing, reno
waiting and improving the Governors
mansion" travelling expenses of
the Governor" and "renovating and
finishing the Governors office"
Every fund was wiped out before
Gov. Sanders left office. The $1,000
in the bank is a balance left from
the remnant of the expense of Gov
emo rs office" fund warranted out
some time ago.
Gov. Hall will have to bear the ex-
pense of improving and refinishing
the Governors mansion and have it
returned to him later, after the Leg
islature passes it's appropriation bill.

THE LOGIC OF THE SITUATION.

In another column is quoted certain
remarks of Lieut.. Gov. Barrel in his
inaugural speech, wherein he embOd-
les sentiments and promises a course
of action that is commended to all
other members of the General AS
sembly, and especially those who
were elected as representing the mi
nority faction considered as a whole.
Mr. Barrett was not altogether elect
ed as a Michel man, but rather in
spite of his being a Michel man, and
there are many others who are sit
uated similarly, coming from the
country parishes. Mr.. Barrel accepts
the logic Of the situation. He recOg-
nizes that the primary of January
was the expression of the peoples
wish for economy and reform in the
administration of government and
with this recognition he determines
to do all that he can to bring about
the conditions desired.
Thus speaks the true statesman.
We commend his course, as the only
logical one to all other legislators
in like situation. 1t is patriotic and
in it lies the only course for self
preservation politically. This is par,
ticularly true in such parishes, as
West Feliciana for instance, whose
legislators were elected for personal
rather than political reasons, but
whose majOrities for state officers
showed plainly enough that the re-
form element was uppermost. Their
legislators therefore should realize
that this fact serves as their Gin
stTuctiOns" in the General Assembly

DUAL OFFICE-HOLDING.

The resolution offered by Chas
Schwing, representative from her
vile relative to dual office-holdin&
came up, Tuesday, and by substi
tute resolution was referred to Jul
dietary committee, who are to report
next Tuesday. AS it hits some mem
bers rather hard, and others favor
less drastic legislation there is oppo
sition more or less open, to the
resolution.
In the Senate, while it is claimed
that the body is as much opposed as
ever to dual office-holding, and had
at first proposed to declare seats
vacant of such dualists, it is now
thought that this would be exceed,
ing its rights in the premises. 1t is
remembered however that the Su
preme Court has already ruled thai
the taking of second position va
Gates the one held previously. II
such case, Senator Voegtle, who is
said to prefer his place on the Sew
erage and Drainage Board to hiE
seat in the Senate has practically
lost the former position. We shall
see.

FREE PASSAGE THROUGH CANAL

"GA TNSSHSG ! EITOO1Il NAVAL
BY a decisive vote of 100 to 90,
the fight for free tolls through the
Panama Canal for coastwise Amer
lean ships was won in the House to-
night.
This victory, Of inestimable value
to New Orleans, was due in a great
measure to efforts of the Louisiana
delegation, Representative Broussard
taking a prominent part in the par
liamentary battle for free tolls, and
standing shoulder to shoulder with
Representative Knowland, of Califor-
MIA, the other principal advocate of
free tolls.
Representative Ransdeu, though
he did not speak on the bill, work
ed like a trojan among the mem
bers, rallying votes for free tolls, as
did other Louisiana representatives.
Representative Mann, Republican mi
nority leader, also fought with MessrI
Broussard and Knowland for free
American ships.

THE POET AND HIS STYLE.

The following good bit of writing
per Sc and most excellent literary
criticism as we'll was the leading ed
itOrial of Sundays Times-Democrat:
England has just celebrated the
centenary Of Robert Browning's birth.
The critics seized the occasion to re-
value the poets work from all points
of view, but too little emphasis was,
as a rule, laid on his want of the
grand styles 1t is, we think, suf-
ficient indictment of any poetry to
say that it has to be explained to
the average man; for the grandest
poetry is clear as the sunlight and
appeals to all men who can think
with the heart. Now much Of Brown
ing'S verse is full Of difficulties for
the scholar and is Greek to the ordi-
nary mind. In reading some of his
finest poems, one is irresistibly driv-
en- to compare him with Carlyle who,
more especially in his later years, be-
clouded his thought with a style that
was half English and half German.
Carlyle could be perfectly lucid when
he took the pains and so could Brown
| ing. But, in the one case as in the
other, there was a disposition to force
the note and write for the mere sake
of writing.
Ii is not after this fashion that the
very greatest poets, in verse Or prose
UnbOSCm themselves to the world.
In his celebrated essay entitled
characteristics, Carlyle has well
said that absolute spOntaneity is the
sure sign OF genius. Shakespeare
plays are full of passages that would
have made the fortune CT a lesser
| poet, but these passages are as nat
uraI as the nightingale'S notes. Even
in Hamlet" where the entire trend
of thought and action is philOsophic,
the phrase is always but a means to
the end. Standing in fancy by Ophe
HAS bier, we need no schOliast to eX'
plain the superb cOmmittal-
Lay her i the earth:
And from her fair and unpOlluted
flesh
May yiolets spring.
| Browning had not the supreme dis
GHction which goes with the inevita
bic word and the everlasting phrase
He will not live in the common
speech of the race, as Shakespeare
| has long done. Through whole scenes
in "Othello" and Romeo and Juliet
all the characters tread the highest
levels of the imagination, as noun
taine0rs breathe their native air
without effort. The reader, or the
spectator, is lifted from height t
height, with equal ease. Indeed, ii
seems as if the dream Of the alchem
| list had come true-aS if the brass OF
our daily life were being transmitted
into gold and we were assisting in
the process. Browning, on the con
traTy, never makes us forget our
selves, because he is always self
conscious. Browning sleeps in West
minister Abbey and England did vel
to lay him there; but the little par
ish church at Stratford holds the
bones OF the poet who, by the magic
of style, made good the boast
Not marble, nor the gilded monu
ments
Of princes, shall outliye this power
full rhyme.

DEMONSTRATION WORK
PROVES GREAT VALUE
Value of Increased Production of Cot.
ton and Corn in Louisiana Due
to Extensive Demonstration Meth
DDS in 1911.

Examining the results of Demon
stration work in Louisiana for the
year 1911, we find the following
comparisons:
1,675 cotton demonstrators report
ed on 93,O22 acres, an average of
1911 acres for each demonstration.
On this acreage they produced an
average yield of 1,063.5 pounds of
seed cotton per acre and total of
35,120,291 pounds. The average
yield of cotton in Louisiana as esti-
mated by the Bureau of Statistics, De
cember II, 1911, was 522 pounds.
Thus it appears that the demonstra-
ton methgds produced an increase of
1O4 per cent or 541.5 pounds per
acre above ordinary methods. At a
valuation of $500 per hundred this
increase amounts to $16.24 per acre,
or $536,27728 on the 93,O22 acres re-
ported
1916 corn demonstrators reported
on 1878 acres, an average of 1873
acres for each demonstration. They
secured an average yield of 28.6
bushels of shelled corn per acre, or
total production of 479,79S bushels.
The average yield of corn for Louis
lana in 1911 as reported by the Blu
reau Of Statistics was 1876 bushels
per acre. This shows an increase
under demonstration methods of 81
per cent or 10.1 bushels per acre,
which at 70 cents per bushel, shows
an increased value of $7.07 per acre,
or $12S, 1851 on the 1878 acres re.
ported.
Combining results on these two
crops, we find a total of $685., 033.0 9
representing the value of increased
production of cotton and corn i'm
Louisiana, due to demonstrat ton meth.
DDS on 49,SO5 acres reported for the
year 1911.
In addition to the work reported
above there were $500 demonstrators
and co-operators in Louisiana, in
1911, following demonstration meth
DDS, whose reports are not available
Demonstration Work Advancing.
Demonstration work in Louisiana
has been advancing year by year
both in acreage under cultivation
and in proportion of yields obtained
under demonstration methods to those
obtained under ordinary methods.
In 1910 there were 1 ,492 cotton de-
monstrators reporting on 1908 acres
an average yield of 1865 pounds seet
cotton per acre. In 1911 there were
1875 demonstrators reporting or
33,022 acres, an average yield Of
1,O63.5 pounds per acre.
With corn in 1910 there were l,
1872 demonstrators reporting on 8,
SO acres, an average yield of 49,:
bushels of shelled corn per acre. II
1911 there were 1875 demonstrators
reporting under very unfavorabl'
conditions, on 1878 acres an aver
age yield of 2S.6 bushels per- acre.

And Amos L. Ponder has deprived
the Game Commission of his expen-
siVe services. He has resigned.

1t is reported that ex-Gov. Blanch-
ard is framing a new conservation
and game Law which will provide
for the naming of a commission of
three members and the consolidation
of the Conservation and Game Com
missions. One member of the new
commission will have charge of the
oyster work, another the fish and
game, and the third the conservation
reserves of the state. This seems
a safe and sane plan.

Financial Aid Solicited for
Regatta in July.

With a motto of Boost Perth
Amboy' the finance committee in
charge of the regatta to be given in
this city on July 81 and % under
auspices of the Waterway League
have decided to ask financial aid
from the city and especially the va
rious factories. This will be done
to elaborate on the original plans
for the event. Joseph e. Stricken,
who is chairman of this committee
says to carry out the idea of the
event at least $500 will be need
ed.
AS the affair will greatly add to
the name of the city besides bring
ing the various factories into the
limelight the committee think it
only right and just that contribu-
tions should be forthcoming from
them.
1t is expected that a fleet of 500
or 500 boats will be in local waters
on the above dates and plans are
being made to have a procession OF
the crafts go from this city up the
river as far as Newark. Speakers
of national repute will also be on
hand to help the people of this city
remember the two days celebration.

EXTENSION OF THE
INLAND WATERWAY
(From the NEWS Correspondent

Trenton. May 1S:-The Inland
Waterway which is to extend from
Bay Head to Cape May, will be eX'
tended ten and one-half miles under
a contract for additional dredging
which is to be issued by the Inland
Waterway Commission on June II.
The amount available for this work
Is about $4,000. Bids for the
dredging will be received up to June
II, and will be opened that day.
The section to be dredged extends
from Townsend's Inlet northerly to
the Philadelphia and Atlantic City
Railroad bridge over Crook Horn
Thorofare.
The entire length of the waterway
will be lie miles, much of which,
however, will not have to be dredg-
ed, rs it is already open water. The
dredging is done on the shadows
connecting the channels which are
already deep enough for boat traf-
f1c. About half the necessary dredg-
ing for the entire distance has al
ready been completed.
