William P Luck, appraiser of ner-
chandise of the port of New Orleans,
rendered his resignation, effective
August l, and President Taft appoi1lt-
ed Rene F. Clerc of New Orleans
to fill the vacancy. It was thought
the appointment would so to AS
sistant Appraiser E. ]. Rodrigue OF
Assumption parish, but the secretary
of the treasury preferred to have
a business man for the place, and
Mr.. Clerc was recommended by the
Republican executive committee and
promptly appointed after he had
gone to Washington and conferred
with Secretary MacVeagh. The new
appraiser is d prominent member OF
the New Orleans Board Of Trade,
the Public Belt Commission and the
City Park Commission, is also presi-
dent of the Louisiana immigration
League, and has had years of expert
ence as a commercial traveller and

days later E. J. Rodrigue was named

the campaign preceding Tuesdays

bled to heat the brilliant young
Pointe Goupee legislator comfortably
filled the spacious courtroom, and
included a number of ladies. Sabin
Dalferes presided over the meeting
and introduced Mr.. Claiborne with a
felicitous little talk. The candidate
made an excellent speech, free from
personalities and mud-slinging, and
discussed the issues of the campaign
in a. most able and interesting man

gentleman in his home town. Hon.
Walter Lemann, Mr.. Pugh's cam
paign manager, opened the meeting
and introduced G.. Kline, ex-mayor
and prominent business man, as
chairman of the meeting. Mr.. Kline
acknowledged the honor in few ap-
propriate words. Mr.. Lemann then
followed in an eloquent and learned
address on the issues raised by Mr.
Pugh in his platform and was liber-
ally applauded. Mr., Pugh's address
showed the sincerity of the man and
his address was generally comment

any associate justice of the supreme
court may retire on full pay when
he shall have reached seventyfive
years. Of age, provided said justice
shall have served continually not
less than fifteen years prior TO his
said retirement.

daughter Of Arthemise Landry and
her husband Pierre Pedeselaux, who
IN ante-bellum days were vast land
owners and amongst other plantations
owned what is still known as the

CONGRESS ADJOURNED.

The first session of the sixty-sec'
ond congress came to a close on
Monday, August rs, having lasted
eight months and twenty days, in
elusive of the holiday recess. A
desperate effort was made to wind
up the g-drawn-out affair on Sat
urday, the 24th, but this was pre-
vented by filibuster on the part of
a few senators who tried TO force the
acceptance by the house of the sem
ate's additions to the general defl-
cheney bill of a number of old war
claims held by citizens of Maryland,
Oregon, Texas and Virginia, and an
extra months pay for house and SEN
ate employees
Senator LaFollette of Wisconsin, al
SO threatened to start a filibuster in
support Of Senator Penrose's resolu-
ton calling for an investigation of
campaign contributions alleged to
have been made by John D. Arch
bold and George w. Perkins, but a
Sunday rest after an all-night session
found the belligerent senators in a
more conciliatory mood, and an agree
ment was effected and carried out
by which the Objectionable items in
the deficiency bill were expunged
and the Penrose resolution was
agreed to.
While the first session of the fiji
ueth congress, at which the Mills
Sariff bill was considered, was two
months longer than the one just
closed, the latter has broken the rec
ord in the number of days per week
and hours per day that the house OF
representatives was in session.
Among the other more or less nota-
bic achievements of the 1ong-draWn-
cut session of 1911-12 was the MAX
ins OF appropriations aggregatlng
over a million dollars. The fact that
such an enormous expenditure has
10 be provided for is cumulative evil
dence, as lawyer might say, OF the
gigantic and corresponding great
ness OF the United States. 1t must
indeed be a very great country TO
stand the strain Of an outlay IKE
tl-at.
Whatever may be the ultimate
judgment or consensus of opinion as
10 the comparative merits and de-
merits of the work of this billion
dollar congress, there can be no
doubt that there is a feeling OF sat
isfaction and relief all over the coun-
try because the session is at an
end.
