: \ WORTHY A AMENDMENT.

Among the proposed amendments
to the state constitution that Will
be submitted to the voters Of Lou
isiana at the approaching general
election is one amending Article 100
OF the constitution SO as to create
an additional jadgeship for the fiji
teenth judicial district, originally
composed of the parishes Of Cal
casieu and Cameron, but which after
Jan. / will also embrace the parish
es of Jefferson Davis, Allen and
Beauregard.
The creation Of three new parish
es@ out Of the territory heretofore con-
shutting Calcasieu gives the fifteenth
judicial district five parishes instead
of two. requires the converting OF
nine grand juries instead Of three,
and compels the district judge to
visit five parish seats instead OF
two in the despatch Of the business
of his court.
For number of years the judge
of the fifteenth district has been
disposing of approximately one thou
sand cases each year from Calca-
sieu parish alone, besides holding
two terms Of court in Cameron par
fish annually, conducting preliminary
examinations, etc. In view Of the
/ increased work entailed by the d.
vision of Calcasieu parish into four
parts, the urgent need OF an add1-
Htional Judge in this district can read
lily be seen, and the adoption OF
| the proposed constitutional amend
ment providing for the creation OF
the new office is a matter that
should commend itself fayorably to
every fair-minded voter
/ The amendment will be NO. Is on
| the ballot.

Sugar squibs.

I On all sides preparations are be-
ing made for the opening OF the
grinding campaign, and the wheels
will begin to turn in many Of the
factories in this locality shortly af-
ter the advent OF the coming month.
Sugar-makers and other factory en-
ployees are arranging to pull out
for the scene Of their seasons la
bors, and engineers are already on
the job, giving the machinery pre-
liminary workout and seeing that
everything Is ship-shape for the be
ginning of operations. The first
party of negro field hands from
Mississippi, ("boll weevils.. as they
are locally termed) passed through
Denaldsonville last week, and the
movement of these migratory labor
ers will probably assume large pro-
portions within the next few days.

Tuesday night, folio wing on the heels

curry tumbled from the rather high
perch it had previously occupied,

| Weather of this kind is counted on
to put sugar IN the cane and thus
help in mitigating the damage result
ing from the very unfayorab1e at
mospheric conditions which prevailed
throughout the greater part Of the
growing and cultivating season.
Cane planting is still under way
on some places In this neighborhood,
but the work Is being pushed rapidly
and will likely be concluded by the
end OF the, current week. The seed
| is so poor in many instances that the
yield of from two to three acres, and
frequently more, is required to plant
one. A large acreage is being plant
led, and with customary optimism the
long-suffering sugar planters are al
ready anticipating big crop next
year and planning to recoup the
! losses Of the present season.

ton in upper ST. James, owned by

Trying to Crowd the Bull Moose, Off

An effort is being made by the
Louisiana Republican organization
to prevent the presidential electors
of the Progressive party FROM APP

contention being that nearly all the

COFFEE AND SUGAR. .

The anomalous and homogeneous po-
sition in which the sugar industry OF
Louisiana is placed by reason of the
alignment of most Of the people de-
pendent upon it with the Democratic
party in national as well as state at
| fairs. receives renewed Illustration
from an incident of the pending
campaign.
In order to demonstrate the oppo-
sition of the karty to the principle
of protect b tariff, and to en-
phasize its al ocacy Of tariff reduc=
ton in general and free sugar in
particular, exhibits are being made in
New York and doubt tess elsewhere
Through the country IA the form 81
|. a TarIff Chamber Of Horrors.
feature Of these exhibits is a sack
OF sugar designated by its label as
| being of the size that a dollar will
purchase atA present prices, and
alongside anoS aer and considerably
larger sack laA sled to indicate that a
dollar would Wy one of that size
/ if the Democratic bill to wipe out
the sugar tariff had been permitted
| to become a law.
It will be recalled that this meas
ure, commonly known as the Under
wood bill, was passed by the Demo
cratic house. but rejected by the
Republican senate, and if accepted
by the latter body, would undoubted-
/ " have been vetoed by the Repub-
lican president.
We suggest that demand be made
of the Democratic campaign mana
gers on behalf of the domestic SUI
gar interests that two sacks of cot
fee be placed IN their chamber or
tariff horrors along with the sugar
sacks, and that the coffee be graded
in size and labeled as the sugar is.
1 # this be done, the demonstration
l will be to the effect that a larger
quantity of coffee could be bought
FOR a dollar when an import duty Of
three cents pound was levied than
can now be obtained for the same
sum, Notwithstanding coffee is on
the free list.
Our home sugar industry is not be-
| ing treated fairly. On the contrary,
lit is being prosecuted, misrepresent-
ed and assaulted in the house Of its
supposed political friends, and this
misleading Chamber of Tariff Hor-
rors'' stunt is one of the worst stabs
i in the back the Democrats in con-
troll of the. policy of their party have
yet administered to their fellow
democrats Of the sugar producing
regions of Louisiana, Texas and
/ other southern states.
