St. Landry clarion. (Opelousas, La.) 1890-1921, 1912-01-06
LET ST. LANDRY REACH
OUT FOR IMMIGRATION
Prospective Settlers Hearkenlng TO the Call
of the South.
PARTY IN ACADIA PARISH
Organization and Activity Needed Here In the
Old Parish Between $50 and geo FARM
eFs Arrive frsm Middle west.

The West, East and North are
hearkening to the call of the
South.
It is becoming manifest to the
people Of these crowded districts
that in the rich lands and gentle
climate of the South lie opportu-
mites offered by no other section
of the world, and they are COM
ing to see for themselves.
To get them to any particular
section organization and activity
are necessary.
They will naturally go where
invited; where it has been told
them the best opportunities are,
and those sections that remain
inert will not share in the har-
vest which is sure to come.
St. Landry parish is beyond
doubt the garden spot of this
vast field OF opportunities, and it
behooves her people to reach out
and get their share.
Thousands and thousands of
dollars were lost this past sea-
son on one staple alone, due to
the unpreparedness of this coun-
try to handle it, and to the reli-
ance forced to be placed on other
sections to save it. Two or more
refineries could have been built
here with the losses sustained by
the cane planters on that staple
this season.
The unlimited opportunities
for rice culture as a result of the
gigantic irrigation canal now go
ing up are beyond the magma
ton of even the most optimistic.
The boil Weevil is no longer a
bette noir to this country since
the success of modern cultural
methods have unstinged the pest.
Get together and show the
wealth which is coming South
that it can find no better oppor-
tunities than are to be had right
here in st. Landry, and the day
is ours.
Acadia parish, practically a
one-crop country, is hustling
things with splendid results.
The following New Orleans
dispatch shows what Roadway
that country is making:
New Orleans, Jan. BE
tween $50 and 200 farmers from
the West and Middle West will
arrive here Thursday, to investi-
gate the possibilities that Louis
lana offers in its farm lands.
The party will be brought here
in a special train by the Foster
Holdcombe Land Company, Of
Kansas City and will be taken
direct from here to Gueydan,
near which the company has it's
land.
The Foster Hocombe Com
pany has been operating extern
siyely in farm lands for the past
few months, and has already dis
posed Of thousands of acres. The
party to arrive here this week,
will be the largest ever brought
here to look at Louisiana lands.
Last year land companies at
times brought more than a hun
dred prospective purchasers at a
time, but the F~oster-Holcombe
Company, SO one of its represen-
tatives said Saturday night, will
bring almost 200.
The inquiries that we have
about our lands here" he said,
and the numbers who apply
for accommodations on excur-
sions, show that the North and
West are greatly interested if
the agricultural possibilities on
this part Of the South"
The Foster Holcombe Company
will bring several more parties
here this winter, and will prob
ably run its excursions as fire.

Foster by his ducking on the
Gore Amendment (June is, 1909
limiting importation of 300, 900
tons gross of Philippine sugar to
July 1st, 1911, showed that he
worked in the interest of the
Sugar Trust and not the planter;
his recent saving Of sugar
and rice, if true land they really
never were in danger, as Taft
had promised to veto any tariff
tinkering, except Canadian
reciprocity sounds too much like
a die a t h b e d repentance to be
offered now as an argument for
his reelection. Ransdell can do
more good to sugar and rice be-
cause Congress is now Demo
cratic, and the Senate will be,
and any Democrat will have
more weight in the party coun-
ellis than near Republicans and
half backed Democrats like Fos-
ter. Ransdell has more weight
in the party councils than any
man from the South except per-
haps Underwood; in proof there
of, he was recently elected for
t h e seventh consecutive time
President of the National Water
ways Association, a body COM
posed of leading business men,
with great influence in both
parties, representing all parts OF
the Union; if a man of this cal
Iiber can't save sugar, on Demo
cratic lines, as the ideal revenue
producer, when the country is
groaning for revenue, what hope
will there be for it in the hands
of Foster, a high tariffer, when
even the Republican West and
North is forcing a downward re-
vision on all schedules? The
truth is if sugar and rice or any
Southern industry depends on
any one man for their existence,
instead Of resting firmly on some
established principle Of govern
ment or political economy, why
those industries are in precarious
straits; what would happen It
the Senior Senator s hould
(Heaven forbid hand in sudden
ly his earthly checks and double
shuttle off this m Mortal coil!
Fortunately, our industries will
sink or swim on their inherent
merits, no matter who we send
to the Senate, but they will have
easier sailing and avoid danger
GUS shoals, by sending a steers
man like Ransdell, W h has

with his party associates, az

in Louisiana, which Mr.. Michel
had placed in the statute-books
without a dollars expense to the
state and which in ten years
operation has turned into the
state treasury over 81, 160, 600.
He declared unequivocally for
good roads and a continuation of
the Sanders administration policy
of good roads. We have the
best good roads laws of any state
in the Union" He incidentally
remarked that st. Landry was in
woful need of good roads.
Mr.. Michel declared for Fed
eral control of the levees. He
declared for increased pensions
for Confederate veterans and
better care for their widows.
He declared for schools and the
aiding of industrial development.
He flung back the charges of
Donelson Gallery on the fiscal
agencies. He declared for the
revision of the tax laws, sup
porting home rule in taxation,
approving the scheme to tax rail
roads and public utilities for sup
port of the state government and
leave the taxing Of land and
property for the support of paro-
chial and municipal governments.
Il stand for the segregation OF
state and local taxation, he de-
clared. 1T is the only system
that will give relief to the people
of this state" He showed that
st. Landry and Evangeline Par
ishes would save SAL, 600 per
year to her taxpayers by this
proposed segregation. He cited
the fact that railroads in Louis
lana are bonded on an average
of $65, 600 per mile, yet these
same railroads are assessed at
only about SIS, 900 per mile.
Mr.. Michel produced official
records from the Secretary of
States office, showing that Re-
publicans ever ywh ere had
changed their affiliation to Demo
Gratis in order to vote against the
Democratic organization in the
coming primary. Why, there
are inst barely enough Republi-
cans left in this State to fill the
Offices in the C~ustomhouse."
AS Mr. Michel finished, the
house went wild with cheering
and applauding. It was an ova-
ton, the intensity of which has
seldom been witnessed in the old
courthouse. 1t continued until
the band struck up.
Tom Barrett, one of the brain
est men of the State, whose SER
vices to Louisiana place him in
the front ranks rmong her men,
was the last speaker. He won
the audience from the start. He
hammered the Goo-Goos and
their sham politics to a FRAGILE.
He said that the people had
clamored for primaries, which
gave every voter a voice. In the
teeth of this, the socalled Good
Government League had called a
convention, a system just repu-
dated by the people, and norni-
mated a candidate for Governor.
His store of applicable anecdotes
carried the house, and he was
applauded to the echo.
The Clarion will have more to
say aboul this triumphant march
of John T. Michel and party
through a portion of st. Landry
next week. Want of space COM
pells US to close for this week.

Readers of this paper should not
fell hudt if the Pioneer stops coming
after April 1st. 1t will be because
their subscription is not paid in ad-
| vance. It will be we'll to follow the
advice of those who have already
paid up and make these arrange
ments early. Do it now while you
think of it.
1t will be easier for you to pay
your subscription in advance than to
pay for it after you have had it. No
body likes paying for a dead horse.
If you want the Pioneer after April
1st you must acquire the pay-in-ad-
vance habit. Pay up what you owe
and then for period in advance at
the new rate Do it now while you
think of it.
The streets about the city are
nasty and dirty appearing at this
time of the year. Little can how
ever be done to change appearances
until the weather man gives us a
little more sunshine. Street Com
missioner Carter will have plenty Of
work to do again this year and if he
keeps on at the rate he was going
last year, few will have fault to find
with his work.
When your pencil breaks, resolve
to get ''The Bemidji," the best nickel
pencil in the world.
Don't wait until the last day to
pay for your paper. If they all did
that the publishers would be unable
to make the credits without some in
convenience to it's subscribers. AS

and color and beauty in few days
time? 4 ' - -.-7. =
Most people know that common
garden sage acts as 4 color restorer
and scalp tonic as well. Our grand

liant. In Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Hair Remedy we have an ideal pre-
paration of Sage, combined with Sui
phur and other valuable remedies for
dandruf1, itching scalp and thin,
weak hair that is split at the ends or

cations of this valuable remedy will
bring back the color, and in short
time it will remove e! cry trace of
dandruff and greatly improve the
growth and appearance of the hair.
