DUAL OFFICElHoLDINc.

All of the candidates for gov
ernor in the last primary declared
against dual oflice-holding and, al
Though Immediately after the pri
mary it was given out that reso'
luton would be offered making a
direct issue with those member,
of either house of the Legislature
who hold public jobs of any kind
the Senator-elect and Representa-
tive from this parish are still
holding on to their jobs but. al
least. they should tender Their
designations before they are asked
to resign.
Dual officeholding is wrong, fol
it not only gives too much power
to one individual, but it reflect;
on the intelligence Of a commun.
ity. We have always disapproved
of dual officeholding and WI
trust the Legislature at its REX
session will pass such measures
that will forever put an end tt
it. In This parish nearly all Of
the officials old two and three Of
fees and it is largely due to this
that our parish is kept behind il
the march Of progress.-Plaque

SENATOR FOSTERS IDEA.

The Picayune publishes this
morning an important statement
fromSenator Murphy J.foster on
the control Of the levee system.
Senator Foster believes that the
present great food should
strengthen rather than shake the
confidence of the people OF the
lower Mississippi Valley IN the
efficiency Of the levee system.
With a stretch Of levees extern
inc for a thousand miles, be be-
Ilieves it is not astonishing or sur
prising that a few weak spo's
should have developed. That
fact should make the people more
determined than ever to perfect
the levee system.
In discussing this question OF
perfecting the levees, the senior
Lou siana senator says:
"In my judgment this flood has
demonstrated two important
facts: First, that these floods
can be controlled by levees, II
properly built and constructed
second, that the work of con-
strue ting and maintaining these
levees is the work of the general
Government and not the state
governments; that the control OF
the waters Of the Mississippi is
national, and not a local obliga-
ton. and should be undertaken
and executed by the Federal gov
ernment. 1t is expecting too
much of the people OF the lower
Mississippi Valley to have them
bear this burden. F."
The people of the lower valley
states have taxed themselves 10
build and improve tie levee sys-
tenn, and they will no doubt con-
tinua to tax themselves. Louis
lana spend. millions of dollars
every year on the levees, but the
people Of this and the nerghbor-
ing states are becoming convinced
that as the great river is a ma
tional asset and its navigation
and wa.e are controlled by the
Fehral government, that the gov
eminent, rather than the lndlvld-
ual states, should assume control
of the levees and build them high
and Strong enough to resist any
floods that are likely to occur.
The deforestation Of so much
country and the Improvement OF
so much hitherto waste land have
undoubtedly increased the vol
ume. Of the annual flood tides IN
the river. A few of the states
at the lower end Of the valley
must bear the burden Of pro- ect-
ing their people and lands from
the flood waters poured down
upon them by the great stretch OF

CAN'T GET ALONG WITHOUT
HIM.

Edward J. Gay, just returned
from Washington, says that Lou
isiana just simply can't get along
without Bob Broussard in Con-
gress. With Messrs., Pujo and
Ransdell, the other old and exper-
fenced members retiring, the Lou.
isiana delegation will be as babes
in the wood without Bob to lead
them out, and sugar will be
doomed. This furnishes note
worthy opening for Henri Guey
dan to write another public let
ter. Perhaps if Henri had real
lied how indispensable Mr.
Broussard is in the House of Rep
resentatives he yysuld not have
been so strong for Bob to 60 t.

HOW TO ENCOURAGE LAW
LESSNESS.

A large per cent Of the populai1
ton of every community IN an
Countries encourage lawlessness Oh
various kinds and degrees, some
Of them Internationally, others
thoughtlessly, but most OF them
purposely and wilfully. They see
man with a concealed weapon
and help him conceal it by con
venientlv forgetting it if sum-
moned before the grand jury,
rather than tell on friend,
thus committing a crime in trying
to shield a friend Possibly the
one hiding the otfense may be the
first victim of the concealed wea-
pon. Hundreds Of other VIOLA
tions of law are covered up Ill
like manner. And these alders
and abetters of violators OF the
laws pretend to believe that they
have performed an act OF com-
mendable virtue.
No matter how disagreeable 1t
is and how much we may dislike
to give a friend away, 1t IS the
duty of every citizen to assist III
the enforc ement of all the laws or
his country, not only by telling
the whole truth on the witness
stand and in serving on Jurles,
but to report all violations OF law
coming to his knowledge, and ne
who fails or refuses to do so IS
not a really good citizen, no mat
ter how painful the performance
of the duty may be. Whst IS the
use of having laws unless they are
enforced? or Of electlng and pay
ing officers unless We assist them
| in enforcing the laws?
Another way of encouraging
lawlessness is to speak lightly and
indifferently of crime and remark,
ooh. well, it is none of my busl.
ness 1t is your business, and
you wouldn't say it wasn't ii you
or one of your family were the
victim.
Men who resort to threats OF
violence for a real or imagined
wrong done them encourage the
disposition to adopt such methods
for the adjustment of difficulties
and vengeance usurps the seat
of justice, brute force reigns and
anarchy prevails.-Ruston Lead

territory between the Rocky
Mountains on the west and the
Alleghanies on the east. This IS
a greater burden than they can
bear. and it is greater than they
should be asked to bear.
The Improvement OF the levees
by the Federal government has
long been recognized as part and
parcel of the general scheme OF
lettering the navigation OF the
river. The aid given by the Fed
eral government. while important
and welcome, is yet not SUI
ficient. The levee system Will
never be what it really ought to
be until the whole stretch is TN
der one control, that is, under the
jurisdiction of the Federal admin
istration, and it is undoubtedly
the duty Of the general govern
ment to bear the Full burden OF
holding and improving the levees

REASONS FOR A VARIETY IN
THE PASTURE.

A reader wishes to know why
we advise a variety Of plants FOL
permanent pasture. lie says
he notices that the best pasture,
are usually solidly set in some enc
particular grass and concludes
that this one grass is all that j!
is necessary to put out.
The following are the reasons
usually given for the use OF va
riety of plants in making perm
anent pasture.
1. BY q variety Of plants pas
lures can be better furnished for
the entire season. For instance.
Bermuda grass does not furnish
much grazing until warm wealth
err, whereas bur clover, white cloy-
er, rediiop, etc, grow in the early
spring. Again Bermuda stands
dry, hot weather better than the
clovers or bluegrass, while pas
palum dilatatum or Dallas grass
81 not killed 80 readily in the fall
by frost as is Bermuda grass.
2. No pasture is likely to be
equally well drained IN all parts,
nor to have the same sort Of soil
all over the field. On the wet
spots alike clover, redtop or soma
of the water grasses might do
best, while on the dry parts ia
pan clover, bar clover and Ber-
muda may be better. A variety
Of plants will come nearer occupy
ing all the soil and therefore pro-
duce more pasture.
3. The clovers and other leg
umes usually have root system
which feeds on a deeper layer OF
soil than do the grasses. By d
variety of plants, Therefore, more
soil is drawn from and more pas
ture afforded.
4. just as grass hay does not
furnish ration as well balanced
as a mixture Of grass ano legume
hays, so does a pasture made up
of one kind of grass fai, 10 furn-
ish ration as well balanced as
that from grasses and clovers
mixed.
5. A pasture having several
varieties of pasture plants will
furnish satisfactory grazing for a
greater variety Of livestock. The
pig, for instance, does better on
the more nutritious legume pas
ture plants than on the grasses.
while the cow will do well on the
less nutritious but larger growth
of grasses.
These are the principal reasons
for a variety of pasture plants for
the permanent pasture and they
appear to be good.
The pastures which have only
one kind Of grass may present the
best or most uniform turf, espec-
tally at certain time of the
year, but the best pasture is the
one which furnishes the most and
best feed during the year. We
know of pastures that in hot
weather show little else but Bcr-
