WEATHER AND CROPS,
Past Week Has Been Favorable to
COttOn-COrn Is Doing Well.

N O. Picayune June "a: The pas
week has been, on the whole, fav
Orable period for the cotton crop
and all reports agree in noting de
cided Improvement and good pro
gress in growth. There have bee
good rains in Oklahoma, Arkansas
and Texas, where moisture had com
menced to be needed, while in tht
central and eastern sections of the
belt the weather was fair, with fair
ly seasOnable temperatures. AS a re
suit of these favorable weather con
ditions the crop has made good pro
gress. In Texas the best conditions
in years are reported, and in the
southern portion Of the State boil,
are maturing with such rapiditH
that the first new cotton of the sea
son is apt to be reported any day
with the certainty of good deliveries
during July.
In many parts OF the central and
eastern belts the plants are bloom
ing and bollS are commencing to
form, indicating that the crop ha>
caught up much of its earlier back
wardness. The burning question nov
is the extent of the acreage planted.
The general belief that there has
been some decrease, but there is no!
the same disposition there was t"
assess that decrease in the neigh
borhood of seven per cent. 1t i
known that the use of fertilizers i.
going to be heavy, possibly heavie;
than last year, and it is probable
that when the final returns are in
the decrease, if any, will be found tc
be nominal.
The corn and other grain crop
are making favorable progress. Rice
is doing we'll, although the rapid
fall in the river will make resOri
to pumping at an early date imper
atiye in the river section of the rice
belt.
The sugar crop is still quite back
ward, elthough the warm weathes
of the early part of the week stimu
lated growth somewhat. The alb
sence of rain has permitted goot
deal of work to be done in the field
but warm weather is noow needed
badly to stimulate the growth of Tho
plant and permit it to recover the
ground already lost. The damage
done to the crop by overflow ha:
been considerable, but that woult
not be so serious a matter were i
not for the backwardness Of tho
crop on lands not affected by tht
Dverflows and the decline in the
price of sugar due to the condition
Of European markets.

speech he was again greeted with
cheers.
When Judge Parker was placed in
nomination the New York delega
tiOn rose to a man and cheered.
Many of the Clark men joined in the
demonstrators. On the roll being
called Parker had the majority and
he was declared to be the temporary
chairman of the convention.
An uproar followed which was
finally quieted by Chairman Mack.
The selection of Judge Parker for
temporary chairman is not CON
strued as a reflection on Bryan or
Kern, nor as an indication of Clark's
strength, rather as a feeling. domi-
nant for harmony. 1t is reasoned
that the selection of Parker for
chairman pro tenn is simply per
sonal compliment which can have
no effect on the candidacy of Will
son or Clark.

THE CONVENTION.
Judge Alton b. Parker Is the Chair
man Pro Tenn.

When the Democratic Convention
was raped to order by National
Chairman Mack after IL O'clock, the
hall was jammed and order was re
stored with difficulty.
Cardinal Gibbons, arrayed in the
robes of his office, offered the in.
vocation. He was given close atten-
lion.
Following the invocation Mr..
Bryan ascended the platform to ad-
dress the convention. He was ac-
claimed with enthusiasm. He spoke
feelingly over the situation and
urged harmony and unity as being
the essential for success. He named
Senator Kern for temporary chair
man. This nomination was received
with cheers.
On being called to address the
convention Senator Kern urged
unity and harmony. Personal ambi-
ton should be sacrificed. The DEM
ocrats had now the greatest oppor-
tunity offered them since the days
of Cleveland. He appealed to Judge
Parker to meet him half way in the
selection of temporary chairman
that would insure peace and flar-
mony and success to the party.
When Senator Kern ended his

A PROTEST

LAW DEFIANCE.
The ViciOusly Inclined Are EncOur-
aged i'm Their TransgressiOns by
the Conservatism and the Ineffi-
cheney of the Legal Authorities.

It is not possible to enforce the
laws so rigidly as to be relieved Of
the ViciOusly inclined. Thieves are
arrested and jailed every day but
the thief is always in evidence. So it
is with homicide, with obtaining
money by fraud and false pretenses
and all the miSdeeds recorded in the
calendar of crime.
In recent years some crimes have
increased, and this disregard of law
is traceable to the conservative sys-
tenn of law enforcement and to the
inefficiency of the legal authorities.
AS to mlSdemeanOrS, we would
cite the deliberate violation of the
law prohibiting the sale of intOXi-
cants, the viOlatOrs being in the ma
jority of instances individuals of
foreign birth, or recently natural
lied, who if in the country of their
birth would not dare to treat the
laws with contempt as they do here.
There is reason for this which
is emphasized in the realization OF
the enjoyment of certain degree of
immunity if arrested.
If such offenders were to be per
suaded to discontinue their Offense,
after their first pleading. which is
frequently followed by an acquittal,
on ridiculous technicalities, or if
convicted are assessed a nominal
penalty, such clemency could be
viewed sympathetically, but the eff
feet Of such conservatism has only
increased and intensified this con
tempt for the law.
An impartial inquiry will disclose
that the officials authorized to en-
force the law are too lax and too
conservative, and give to such law
breakers a latitude which is menac~
ing to the public welfare.
If the law is to be enforced fairly
and fearlesSly it must rest with the
officers and the courts charged with
the enforcement of the law, and
every failure through technicalitie
or through the inefficiency of the
of the law, is moi
only aggravating but is an encour
agement to the vieiously inclined to
disregard the law with contempt.

Wilkinson of st. Johns church, in
the presence of gathering of rela-

The marriage was celebrated al
the residence of the brides sister,
Mrs. Howard F. Doll Jr., on Oakland
street.
There was an informal reception
which was enjoyed and fully appre-
ciated. There were many presents
for the bride and groom.
The bride and groom left on the
8 o'clock train for Alexandria where
they will visit friends and relatives.
They will also spend few days in
Monroe. Mr.. and Mrs. Clauson are
rendered our best wishes.

The Progressive Democracy at
Baltimore is keenly alive to the sit
uation and with Bryan as their lead
er the convention will be enlivened
into obe of the greatest of conten-
tlOns Waged for a principle.
If there is no harmony and una
nimity in the preliminary proceed
ings, the responsibility for such a
condition must rest on the few
dominated by Tammany who have
programmed in advance to name
Judge Alton B. Parker for tempor-
ary chairman. The defeat of the
PrOgressives in the committee by a
majority's determination to select
Judge Parker is of no serious sig
nificance. The contest is to be
waged on the floor of the conven-
ton.
1t is unfortunate that this differ
ence has arisen, but it must be met
as presented.
The situation is explained by Mr..
Bryan, who said:
Il had expected it. When Mr.. Guf-
fey was seated against the protest
of the Democrats in Pennsylvania, |
learned what | had expected, that
majority of that committee either
had no conception of Democracy or
was so slavishly under the control
Of predatory interests as not to be
free to fulfill their convictions. The
reasons which they give are like al:
reasons given in defense of wrong.
They are insincere and are not the
reasons that are really influencing
them. The fight will be resumed
at which time d progressive
will be presented for the con
vention to vote for, and the line will
be drawn so that the delegates can
decide whether they will ally them
selves with the Belmont Murphy
Ryan crowd that overwhelmed the
party with defeat eight years ago,
aud which is in close and continu-
Gus eo-partnership with the crowd
that nominated Mr.. Taft at Chicago.
'The predatory interests have no |
politics. They are with the party
that serves them. Having enabled a
of the Republicans to
override the will of a majority Of
at Chicago, they are
now here to enable a minority Of
the Democrats to override in the
in this convention.
There is not great exploiting
that is not represented ir
the lobbies of the hotels; there is
not corrupting Influence in Amer
lean politics that is not being used
and the delegates to this convention
under er-estimate the intelligence OF
the men who sent him here if they
think they can go back and deceive
them into believing that they sup
ported Mr.. Parker for any worthy
motive. The talk of harmony is too
absurd to deserve consideration. il
tried to secure harmony by urging
several weeks ago that the commit
tee invite Mr.. Clark and Mr.. Wilson, |
whose instructed delegates consti
tute nearly tWo-thirds of the con
vention, to agree upon candidate
for the purpose of avoiding friction.
They not only failed to do this, but
to take the choice of either |
and at Mr.. Murphy's die,
tation forced Mr. Parker's nomina |
ton"
