fighting. as 10 the former revolution,
was chiefly in the northern parts OF the
great border states Of Sonora. Chihuahua
and Coabuila Now we hear Of most OF
It elsewh here. Sinaloa Is mentioned as
state I'm which conditions are growing
rapidly worse great maritime state III
the mouth of the Gulf Of California
Guerrero Is another, lying on the Pacifc
Coast due south Of the metropolitan
state of Mexico itself. Morelos ana
puebla are also named. ahutting directly
upon Mexico at the south and southeast,
and separated from the federal capital
nv y distance measured by only dozens or
miles. There Is much trouble at Mazat-
Ian. the important port midway on the
Pacific Coast, and ar Salina Cruz. on the
Pacific side Of the Isthmus OF Tehuan'
tepec.
Such American interest as there still
is in the war has thus undergone geo
graphical change. Formerly 1t was cen
tired on the border. Now 1t is extended
along the Pacific Coast. as the mention
Of Mnzatlan, Salina Cruz, Guerrero and
| Sinaloa suggests. And just as there was
good reason for massing American troops
along the border when that was the scene
Of strife, SO now it may seem desirable
to have a ship or two Of our navy within
reach Of the troublous regions Of the Pa
cifc Coast. where many Americans and
much American property are: In both
cases, of course, without the slightest
| thought Of Intervention or invasion. The
presence Of troops along the Rio Grande
had most salutary effect upon our own
interests and the Mexican attitude tow
ard them, and it might he duplicated by
naval visitation to Pacific waters. AS
In the former instance, such action In
stead OF tending toward Intervention
| would I've one Of the most efficient pre-
cautions against the need Of 1t.
| 1t must be confessed, however. with
much regret that some Of the very cir
cumstances which tend to disprove the
need of Intervention affirm the serious
ness Of the situation from the Mexican
point Of view. We might have to do
something about protracted war In
Northern Chihuahua, while We may
have no concern with war In Puebla.
But revolutionary army in Puebla IL
as much more menacing to the Madero
administration than one in chihuahua
as Lee at Antletam was to Washington
than Kirby Smith in Texas, The plea OF
border disQuiet and bandit raids cannot
explain the progress of organized revo-
! lutionary armies within a three days
march of the City Of Mexico It may be
that Mr.. Madero will eventually suppress
| the revolution. But every days delay In
doing so makes the likelihood Of 1t less
and also increases the danger that the
country will relapse into the wretched
condition of its ante-Diaz era.

The Times-D emocat is re-
proachful because the Empire
Parish of St. Landry paid but
SIS inheritence tax last year,
againstthe Parish Of Orleans SIS,
622. It names other parishes
which do not pay a cent of in
heritence tax. The Louisiana in
heritance tax, according to the
I'D, is as follows:
Thus real estate and most per-
sonal property escapes, the tax
thereon being collected mainly on
stocks, bonds, etc, held by the
deceased which pay nothing to
the treasury. No estate under
$40, 900 pays tax, and thence up
it ranges from 2 per cent when
direct ascendants and defendants
inherit the property, to 5 per
for person not related to the de-
ceased. The Legislature is au-
to increase this levy,
should it ever feel so inclined, to
3 and 10 per cent, respectively.

THE BOOSTERS CLUE.


The Clarion gives hearty APP
prevail of the organization and
aims Of the Boosters Club, a
movement recently launched in
Opelousas, having as it's purpose
the dissemination of truth as to
Southwest Louisiana, and Louis
lana in general, in the Northern
States.
The benefits possible to accrue
from pesonal contact with these
people, who have been taught
that this country is an incu-
bator of malaria, alligators and
mosquitoes, can not be pre-esti-
mated; but it is a well-known
fact that a heart-to-heart talk is
infinitely better in advancing any
project, than is literature. There
are questions that are always
prompted-questions not touched
upon by literature-which can be
answered By the man on the
grounds.
Father Carey. the old pioneer
who had to beg a railroad ticket
to come South to look into the
country, used very little litera-
ture. He came here himself,
saw the wonderful possibilities
Of the country, went back to his
home in the North, and told the
people what he had seen. And
he built up as a monument to his
personal efforts one of the grand
est countries on the globe.
There are many things to tell
about this country. For instance,
there is the Schell canal, making
it possible to plant and raise rice
on hill lands, when the impress
sion in the North is that where
rice is planted is necessarily a low
malarial country.
]
There is the great sugar cane
holding out to the in
weston independence and wealth.
This is new to this section.
There is the diversified farm
ing innovation, just started in
past few years, and which
offers the truck farmer riches on
1 fye-acre tract of land.
The boll-weevil has about done
is worst, and in a few years it
will be a thing Of the past. Cot
on mills are needed-an Ell Do
ado awaits the investor in cot
on mills, right in the heart of
he cotton belt.
Saw mills, canning factories,
factories, stave fac
cries, refineries - all these can
e made vastly profitable here,
.ecause the raw material is plen-
iful.
There is no country on earth
hat has ever been in more dire I;
4 need of enterprises of these |
and of general develop t
lent, than ours. |
Bury your dislikes and preju- {
ces for this and that man. |
up to the meeting tonight. !.
III show that you have the in
rest Of your country, Of your !
at heart. +
be a fossil, and expect
Z live ones to patronize you. t

Why DON'T YOU GIVE

A gentleman from the North
the other day asked the Clarion
Editor: why is it that you

it in my country
That is a grand privilege of
the papers Of the North to give
people h, if they choose.
But we are not in the h bus

We are boosters here.

good to all men, and we are all
good here in the South.
What we are interested in now,
brother, is to get some of your
snow-botnd fellowmen of the
North to follow your example,
and come to a real country; come
here among us and be spoken
kindly of; come here and mingle
with people who catch h only
when they deserve it; come here
and see perpetual summer, and
see flowers blooming in January,
instead of snoWf1akes; see our
trees throwing out their verdant
leaves when they are over there
a stove; and hear the
birds sing gladly when theirs are
shriveled up with the blasts of
winter. That's what we are

m artyred herself SO that
sunshine could isd its way into
the lives Of others, so that
Springtime would cover her
loved country.
