The National Drainage Congress.

April 10 to Is. 1912, are the dates
selected for the second annual
convention of the National Drain.
age Congress, in the city of New
Orleans. No convention ever as
sembled in this city has attracted
more countrywide attention and
given the State of Louisiana bet.
ter publicity than has that of the
National Drainage Congress, and
the meeting in the Crescent City
will serve as a most effective ad.
vertising campaign during the
progress of the convention for it
will be the means of having the
eyes of the United States on
Louisiana and for months and
months thereafter.
There is not the slightest doubt
but that the 1912 meeting will be a
complete success. 1t will be the
first real big gun that will even
tually mean reclamation of $780,
100000 acres of waste lands in ii
states of the Union. and the read
er can readily appreciate to what
extent Louisiana will be benefit
ted when you stop to consider the
fact that there are 100000 acres
of wet or swamp lands that can be
made fit for the pillow following
the Introduction of the reclama-
ton of the vast area through the
drainage process This is a SUBJ
ject that should be of interest to
every farmer, planter, business
man, merchant, and all public
spirited citizens, civic bodies, etc.
1t is not a subject of local interest,
but of state wide concern.

1t is proposed by the Navy
League to poll the country on the
Panama Canal toll question. In
a letter sent out to members of the
League, Secretary H. H. Ward
asked that they not only come
prepared to act at the convention,
which is to be held in Washington
February % and %, but that they
take steps to obtain the general
sentiment of their localities on
this subject which is now before
Congress-. In the course of his
letter Mr.. Ward states that the
interest of the League in this
question is to secure auxiliary
ships for the Navy. He also calls
attention to the activity of foreign
interests in opposition to any leg
islation which will give Amer
lean ships lower or free toll

If Colonel Roosevelt is, as he
says, the most misrepresented
man in America, there is an easy
way for him to stop the misrep-
resentation. We have never no.
ticed that the colonel was at a
loss to find words to express him.
self. He can in a minute stop all
misrepresentation by a clear and
unequivocal statement Of whether
he will or will not accept the
presidential nomination if it
comes to him.

The republican and democratic
national conventions are each to
have 1,074 delegates. A republ-
lean candidate is nominated by a
majority of the delegates, there
fore President Taft needs only
538 votes for denomination. The
democratic national convention
dominates a president by a two
thirds vote, therefore the winner
in that convention must secure TIC
votes.

Col. Watterson of the Louisville
Courier.Journal. is reported as
not favorable to the nomination OF
Woodrow Wilson, of New Jersey
for president; and Billy Bryan is
not in love with Gov. Harmon, OF
Ohio. Then why wouldn't it be a
good thing to nominate Champ
Clark, of Missouri? Or is there
some Democrat that does not
admire Champ Clark. In oul
opinion, if the Democracy hope to
win this year, the candidate must
be one of the three men.

There will be one special observance in
the Eighth Street Temple. which occurs

liver an illustrated lecture.
This holiday in the Jewish faith is 2.o7s

Jews under their king, Judas Maccabeus,
overcame their enemies, the Syrians.
commanded by Antiochus Epiphanes. and
entered Jerusalem to re-dedicate the
temple there profaned by the Syrians.
The Jews were victorious after three

The opening OF Chanukkah is celebrat-
ed by the lighting of one candle on We'd

day is rejoicing and thanksgiving. and
the poor Of the church are literally re-
membered.
