upon the weaknesses of vanity and pride,

Life From Chemical Action.

September Prof f. A. Schaefer
president of the British Association for
the Advancement of Science, in a paper
read before that body at Glasgow. Scot
land. advanced an opinion which. from
the lips of such an acknowledged author
ity made deep impression all over the
civilized world. This was nothing less
radical and startling than that he was
convinced that 1t was possible to form
life by chemical action.
While large portion of the world
was resounding with the clash Of arms
and the babel of political strife. Amer
lea was able to record victory of peace
that fixed the attention of mankind. For
the third time the Nobel prize, with an
honOrarium of $4,000 came to this coun-
try. on this occasion to DIR. Alexis Car
rel of the Rockefeller Institute for medi
cal research. DR.. Carrots experiments
during the past year or two have demon
strated that 1t is possible to prolong the
life of the heart after it has been re-
moved from the body, and this discov-
cry has excited much speculation in sci
entific circles to whether permanent
life may not be made possible. The first
American Nobel prize winner was Theo-
dore Roosevelt in 1906. for his services
in bringing about peace between Russia
and Japan, and In the following year
Prof. A. A. Nicholson of the University
of Chicago won the honor by his dis
coverieS in physics.

CANAL RIGHTS OF
WAY ARE SECURED
Contract for Dredging inter
coastal Canal from the Calca-
sieu to the Sabine to Be Let

Lake Charles, Dec. 7.-Attor-
ney Jerry D. Cline returned last
night from New Orleans after
having deposited with the United
States engineers Office there the
last right Of way paper neces-
sary to permit the letting Of the
contract for dredging the inter
coastal canal from the Calca-
sieu to the Sabine river. The
completion Of these titles to
rights-of-way for this section
has been a long and wearisome
task. The rightS-of-W were
given willingly, but every te.h
nical flaw in every title had to be
Strengthened out as thoroughly
as though q Panama canal was
to be constructed.
With the titles finally in shape,
advertisements for the contracts
for this section will be published
in a few days and the contracts
let as soon 'as possible. The
canal leaves the Calcasieu at the
mouth Of the Choupique bayou
and following the bayou to the
first bend, striking due west a
half mile north Of Orange. The
estimated cost Of the section is
$136, 600 and the money has
been appropriated.

The Fight for Sugar.

44CL = 10 liltlS 4OOt41 ~ NOoOt
that the sugar interest will have
to a gain fight for ex-
istenco during this session Of
Congress and as President-elect
Wilson is pledged to tariff re-
vision downward, it is certain
that if sugar escapes during the
present short session it will have
to run the gauntlet during the
special session, which, it has
been announced, will be called
to assemble in April. -5.-.
There is actually little danger
Of free sugar being forced upon
the country during the session
just opened. That question
was thoroughly threshed out
during the last session Of the
present Congress, but there is
pretty certain to be an attempt
made to cut down the present
tariff on sugar. President Taft
is on re- ord as opposed to any
tariff reductions until after q
proper recommendation by the
tariff board, but whether he
would go to the limit Of vetoing
a cut in sugar on the eve Of re-
linQuishing Office is proDIemati-
cal.
The danger Of the sugar inter-
estS will be greater in the next
Congress than in the present one.
The Democratic majority, which
is hostile to sugar, will be great
eT in the House Of Representa-
tives than at present, while in
the Senate the Republican
strength has been cut down to
almost the vanishing point. The
Senate, however, is not likely to
accept a free sugar proposition,
but it may consider favorably a
cut in the present duty.
While the situation must be
looked squarely in the face and
tae dangers to sugar carefully
weighed, there is no room for
actual Encouragement. T h e
Louisiana sugar industry has
passed through some very tight
situations in the past III safety
and may doso again. The Dem
ocrats, now that they have full
control OF the Federal Govern
ment. will have as much need
for money as their Republican
predecessors. The leaders are
not apt to throw away entirely
so splendid a revenue producer
as sugar. The clamor of their
constituents may compel them
to advocate d moderate reduc-
ton in the tariff scale, but there
is always g fighting chance that
our representatives may be able
to save sugar from q serious loss
Of protection.
1t, therefore, behooyes our
sugar men t0. so to work ener-
geticaliy and coarageoasiy and
to make the bes0 light
possible to save the entire sugar
in it's present shape if
and in the last analy-
sis to keep any cut that may be
attempted down to the smallest
possible proportions. Iho fact

Dunbar Kidnapper ISus-
pect Held at Mobile

t Robert Hooks, alleged to be the
kidnapper of Robert Dunbar, the
four year old son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Robert Dunbar of this city, was
arrested in Mobile, Ala, Thurs
day afternoon by Burns Detect
We Agency operatives and lodg-
ed in jail.
The missing child was not with
Hooks, but it is said By the
Burns sleuths that if tie prisoner
vii. he can easily reach him. A
confederate of the man is said by
the detectives to be in Macon,
Ca, and detectives have been at
work on the case.
Another arrest was made. at
Lucedale, Miss. A tramp was
arrested and placed in jail as a
dangerous and suspicious char
acter.
He answers the description
Of the tramp who kidnapped the
Dnnbar lad at SWayze Lake,
near this city on Aug. %. It had
been reported that earlier in the
day the prisoner was seen with
another tramp and that they
had with them a small boy
apparently about 5 years old.
When searched nothing was
found On him to give any cIeW to
his identity, but he gives his
name as Joseph Marshall.
Mrs. Dunbar was reached late
Thursday afternoon over long
distance telephone and gave the
description of the stolen boy as
being four years and five months
old, with light hair, turning
darker, and blue eyes.
The description apparently
suits the child as described by
children of that city who claim to
have seen the boy with two
tramps on the street.
Mr.. Dunbar, father of the child,
is now in Mobile in search Of
the lad. He left here few
days ago at the request of the
Burns Agency who claims to
have a cleW to the whereabouts
OF the child.

ular schedule was carried on as

upton. Every sanitary repuiren-

per cent of students who have
not returned are those who rem

holidays, rather than make the

Architect Favrot, let the contract

house for So, 400 and for installing
the third heating plant for 81, 700

tor. Perfect health and happy
spirit prevails among the seyera
hundred students on Norman

Mr.. Bruner said, Only the

character could form a correct
idea Of its value to a State that
makes exhibits of her resources
at it. Seeing is believing, when
thousands of men, and many Of
them home seekers, visit a show
daily and see for themselves
what q state really can and does
produce, hey are impressed and
generally convinced. Louisiana
booths, with her intelligent core
Of boosters impressed the farm
ers from one end Of the United
States to the other that Louisi-
ana is a corn producing state,
q cotton producing state, a cane
producing state, a rice producing
state, a truck producing state, a
a fruit producing state, a stock
and poultry producing state-has
the largest oil and gas wells and
the largest sulphur and salt
mines of any state in the Union,
and is. second to only one state in
the lumber output. Long sum-
mers, seldom if ever a sun
stroke, mild and short winters,
a pure and healthy atmosphere
and the best and cheapest lands
on earth. Those people, being
convinced Of those facts, many
are bound to turn their faces
towards the Sunny South, and
make Louisiana their future
home. In short, we. tried and
succeeded in convincing them
that Louisiana had more to offer
for less money than any other
state in the Union. Every sec
ton of the state was equally
represented. There was no
North Louisiana, no South Lou
isiana, no East Louisiana, NO
West Louisiana. we boosted the
state az a whole. It would take
a man Of dull comprehension in
deed to fail to see the good this
state is apt to gain him through
