The BIGGEST Gun In the World.

From the Chicago Tribune
The biggest gun in the world is 16-lnch
breechloading rifle designed for the sea-
coast defense of the United States and its
insular possessions, the first one completed
being intended for the Panama Canal.
The total length of the gun is 40 feet 20
inches. 1t has diameter of 60 inches at
the breech, tapering to % inches at the
muzzle. If smokeless powder is used it is
estimated that a full charge of 576 pounds
will throw projectile weighing 2,4OO
pounds distance of % miles. The pro-
jectile prepared for the monster is feet 4
inches long, and it has been calculated
that it will go through steel plate 43.5
inches thick, if the plate was placed at the
muzzle.
The total weight of this monster is 100
tons.
What would happen to vessel when hit
by one of it's projectiles can only be sur
missed. The French battleship Liberte,
which blew up recently, would probably
look like slightly damaged ship beside 1t
Other rifled guns of large calibre hereto
fore constructed are the Italian gun Galore,
1915 inches; the French gun, OF 16.s
inches calibre and the Armstrong gun OF
1926 inches calibre. The greatest guns
ever built by the Krupps had range o.
/ 1917 miles. None of these compares II
point of energy and range with the newes
American product.

Louisiana Best Poor Mans State.

T. j. Mock, until recently resident of
jennings, is now a citizen of California
and thinks more of Louisiana than ever.
In letter to the Jennings Times Record
he thus summarizes his impression of the
Golden State:
AS a whole, everything seems to be over
estimated and exaggerated beyond my
expectations. The land in general is very
irregular as far as fertility is concerned,
and much of it is barren waste of sand,
alkali, rock hills and bare mountains look
ing like relief map in the school geog-
raphies.
The whole country is now overrun by
laborers looking for job, with little pros
poets of finding one. On the whole
everything seems to be overdone to the
limit and will remain 80 for some time tt
come.
Summing it up, there are fine opportu.
mites for the investment of capital with
more than the ordinary care in selecting
the same, but very little to encourage the
prospective settler of small means to come
here without previous investigation to-
himself.
Louisiana is equal, if not far ahead, il
the advantages which makes it desirable
for the above class of settlers to take ad
vantage of natural conditions.

Faith Required as Well as Energy.

You may have unbounded faith in the
richness of North Louisiana's splendid
undeveloped resources, in the attractions
of your town or city, in the merit of your
individual business, whether it be shining
shoes or operating bank, but unless you
throw the energy of your life into letting
the world know the quality of your shoe
shines or the advantages of your bank,
you will never accomplish much for the
upbuilding of your town, for the selling of
your product or the creation of new busi-
ness, no matter what your particular
calling or occupation in life. Individual
effort is commendable, and will, like the
constant dripping of water, accomplish a
great deal in the course of time. But
united and determined effort will accom-
plish infinitely more in shorter space of
time.-Monroe Neus-Star.

Mr.. w. P. Ball of New Orleans, formerly
the Registrar of Voters for Orleans
Parish, has resigned that position and
Governor Sanders has appointed Mr.. Ed
ward T. Leche of that city as his sue
cessor. Mr.. Ball was said to be a tool of
the city ring, and the fact is notorious,
while the new appointee supported the
Good Government League ticket in the
late State campaign. Mr.. Ball's resigna-
ton and the appointment of league sup
porter as his successor does not come as a
very great surprise. 1t is perhaps only a
thrust by the Governor at the incoming
administration. Perhaps he thought to
this far thwart Judge Halls plans, but it
is thought that one more deserving and
more instrumental in the success of the
league has been slated for the position and
will yet succeed to it.

Let the game law stand. We need the

Let the game law stand. We need the
game, not only for ourselves, but for
future generations. If the game commits
sioners must go and the people insist that
the several police juries of the State shall
have authority to enforce the law, giving
constables and deputy sheriffs authority to
make arrests, well and good. But will
they do this, and if not, how can our game
be conserved? There is nothing the mat
ter with the law that we call to mind at the
moment and there is no objection to the
protection of game. The objection the
people have advanced is the way the thing
is practiced. So let the correction be
made in this direction only. The funds
arising in given parish from fines, etc.
should revert to that parish and later be
used for lettering game conditions-the
importing of new species of feathered
game, the destruction Of predatory birds
and animals and the stocking of our
streams with game fish. A large fund
could be profitably used in this and other
WavS.

The Presidents Appeal for More Ships

The President, in speech before the
Navy League in Washington last night,
urged on Congress the necessity for more
battleships, at least two each year.
The President is right. The only way
to insure peace is to be prepared for war.
Fear has more to do with peace than have
love and charity. Nations are bound to
look out for the advantage of their people,
and if they can seize on territory with i'm
punity they will do it. Every maritime
nation wants a naval station near the
Panama Canal, and the Monroe Doctrine
is going to be called in question. If we
value it We must have navy.-NeM

Tired Mothers.

A little elbow leans upon your knee,
Your tired knee that has SO much to bear,
A child's dear eyes are looking lovingly
From underneath thatch of tangled hair.
Perhaps you do not heed the velvet touch
OF warm, moist fingers holding yours so tight;
You do not prize this blessing overmuch,
You are almost too tired to pray tonight.
But it is blessedness! A year ago
/ did not see it as do to-day
We are so dull and thankless, and so slow
To catch the sunshine till it slips away
And now it seems surprising strange to me
That while wore the badge of motherhood,
did not kiss more oft and tenderly
The little child that brought me only good.
And if some night, when you sit down to rest,
You miss this elbow from your tired knee
This restless curly head from off your breast,
This Hsping tongue that chatters constantly.
II from your own the dimpled hand had slipped
And ne'er would nestle in your palm again;
II the white feet into the grave had tripped,
| could not blame you for your heartaohe then.
wonder so that mothers ever fret
At little children clnging to their gown,
Or that the footprints, when the days are wet,
| Are ever black enough to make them frown
If could find little muddy boot,
Or cap, or jacket on my chamber floor;
II could kiss rosy, restless foot,
! And hear it patter in my home once more;
It could mend broken cart to-day,
Tomorrow make kite to reach the sky,
There is no woman in Gods world could say
/ She was more blissfully content than l.
But ali! the dainty pillow next my own
Is never rumpled by shining head;
Ny singing birding from its nest has flown
The little boy used to kiss is dead.

The IntercoastaI Canal.

Work is progressing on the Intercoastal
Canal, and will be pushed more vigorously
when the Congressional appropriations are
available. This canal will connect the
Mississippi River with the Rio Grande by
an inside route connecting other rivers
and lakes and cutting canal where re-
quired, and deepening channels. +
The route through Louisiana has been
surveyed. That section between Vermilion
River and the Mermentau has been finished
and is open. There is an appropriation of
500, 900 for that section between the Mer-
mentau and the Sabine on the western
border of the State, which, it is stated, will
finish the work. An appropriation of
$500, 900 was made for that section between
the Teche and the Vermilion, but payment
is delayed owing to ruling by the
Treasury Department.
There is no appropriation for that section
between the Teche and the Mississippi,
but no doubt it will be made at this session.
The present plan is for canal five feet
deep and forty feet wide. The Govern
ment has decided to cut out the larger salt
water bodies and it is to be Strengthened

Strengthen Army and Navy.

With Germany, France and England
adding to their armed forces on land and
sea it is a bad time for the United States
to cut dow the strength of its defenses.
The Presidents appeal, which is re-
enforced by that OF the Secretary of the
Navy, for new vessels which will at least
replace those which will become obsolete
by the time ships ordered in 1912 could be
put in commission, is so reasonable that a
refusal to enact this legislation would
leave the obstructionists open to the accu-
sation of lack either of patriotism or intel
lgence. To build only half of the vessels
which the President and Secretary ask
would not be progress. It would be reac-
ton. 1t would mean the lessening of the
country's strength in its first line of de-
lenses in foreign war.
