LEAGUE ADDRESS TO STATE DEMOChA1o

Emphatic declaration that the league
will form no combination with Governor
Sanders and high commentator OF Dr.
Aswell's course were the features OF an
address issued last Saturday night to the
Democrats of Louisiana by the Good
Government League through }. zach
Spearing. it's chairman, which follows:
To the Democrats Of Louisiana:
You have recorded, by magnificent
majority in favor of the two candidates
for Governor representing good govern
ment. YOUR reputation of the reprehensl-
bile methods which were fast becoming
recognized as the chief means OF political
success, and as the guiding principles IN
the discharge of political duties in our
State. A new era has been inaugurated
nv our condemnation of the ring and OF
Sandersism; and we promise you that;
when YOU put the finishing touches to
those false growths upon an imperishable
and incompatible Democracy, the work OF
publication you delegate to that great
leader of the people, Luther E. Hall, Will
be we'll and thoroughly done.
The forces of corrupt government are
badly demoralized; their prestige is shat
tered and their leaders, warning among
themselves, are exhibiting how largely the
knife and the decker shape their careers.
We desire to set at rest once and for al
the silly rumors of combination between
this organization and the head OF the
present State administration or any Other
forces. 1t has been the purpose OF the
Good Government League from its organl'
cation to the present time to avoid all com
binations and trades, and for it now in thu
face of assured victory to lend the prestige
of its name and success to one who's
course as Governor made the League I
necessity, would be qualification.
If there is second primary we call OF
the people to be vigilant; to accept GU
assurance that there will be no compro
missing and no trading with those foes t.
Democratic institutions against whom W
are waging war of political extermina
ton: and to remember that, while victor
is in our grasp we must not fail to marsha
our full and united strength on electio
day. We are dealing with adversarie
who are desperate, and who are arme
with illeg,imate advantages over tn
people whom they have misgoverned S
long. We go forward to begin Demo
cratic restoration, and we invite all citizen
who love their State, regardless of fac
tional alignments, to join us in this glorl
Gus cause.
We desire to commend the manly cours
of DR.. Aswell in so promptly bowling to tn
verdict of the people who favored reform
and in aligning himself with the candidac
of Judge Hall, and we extend to him o,
warmest thanks and express to him OF
admiration for the splendid fight he hi
made upon the overshadowing issues
the campaign.
J. ZACH SPEARING, Chairman.

give him cooperative training and COM
mercial knowledge that would enable him
to dispose of what he has for the very best
price. | would not destroy or take away
from the course of study everything that
has been taught in former years, but
would place in it those things which teach
the value of our resources. 1t is not q
question of whether we ought to do it, but
we must do it in self-defense. If this is
not done our boys and girls must necessa-
rily become la borers for the men who are
coming into this country. Do not misun-
derstand me- We are glad to see them
come; we welcome them to our country
we need them-but let our own boys and
girls become shareholders in this great
development of our lands.

to the people who have come from abroad,

schools. If Mr.. Jones and the thousands
of other Southern men had been taught
properly they would not have sold these
great forests for almost song.

Brain and Drawn.

The following is an excerpt from the
address of E. S. Richardson, Extension
Department, Louisiana State University,
before the Southern Educational Associa-
ton at Houston, Texas, on November 80,
1911:
We, the Southern people say-I say it
and you say it-labor is honorable. l say
that feel that the man who works with
his hands should stand as we'll in society
as the man who lives by his brain. But
do you know that way down in our make
up we do not believe it. We Southern
people do not believe it. There is no use
to make the assertion. We are not living
it and all our social institutions plainly
show our real belief.
This latitude of ours has cost us
thousands and thousands of dollars. This
attitude has created among our Southern
people thousands and thousands of men
and women who are not bread-winners,
but simply parasites.
To illustrate: THERE'S certain town in
Louisiana where there are about thirty
grown men. I pass there frequently and
nine times out of ten, at the railroad depot
I have found twenty to thirty men-stout,
stalwart, youthful fellows-sitting there,
never doing bit of work These young
men are not afraid of work. They will
play baseball the hottest day of the year,
and are able in every sense of the word to
make good living. But in that commu-
nifty there lives large number of men who
once owned slaves Or whose parents owned
slaves, and the feeling is that it is not just
right for these boys to work, because their
grandfathers were wealthy slave owners
and, of course, they have much 'sblue-
blood" in their veins. It would not look
we'll for them to get out and labor with
their hands. That feeling and attitude is
our inheritance.
i My observation and experience has
taught me that the Southern boy and CIR
does not mind work; it is not question
of what they can do, but question of this
handed down attitude.
Let us notice for moment the result O.
the South's financial condition. If yol
will 60 to the tax roll of many of the coun'
ties of the South you will find that GU
native born Southerners do not own thu
great bulk of the property. On the othe
hand, you will find, in many instances
THAT the counties are largely owned b.

And now Governor Sanders has with
drawn from the Senatorial race and a
second State primary will not be necessary.
There was nothing left for the great car
of the ringsters to do but come down. In
a second race he would have had even a
lesser chance of nomination than Mr..
Michel would have had and his cause was
hopeless. Mr.. Broussard would have left
the ringster candidate fairly marooned.

across in front of it. He threw on
all his gas but soon saw that he could
not make It and put on his brakes.

TWICE WE'D IN ONE DAY
Law Against Marriage of Cousins
Calls For Two Ceremonies.

Of people well known to Oskaloosa
Chautausua patrons, the Chicago Rec,
ord Herald says:
Cupid outtricked the Illinois law
prohibiting the marriage of cousins
Wednesday when a double wedding
took place at the home of DR.. w. S.
Sadler, Sc Sixth avenue, La Grange.
Earlier IN the day Wilfred Custer
Kellogg of Battle Creek, Mich, son
of W. X. Kellogg, head of the Kellogg
Toasted Corn Flake Company, and a
nephew of DR.. Kellogg, head of the
Battle Creek Sanitarium, slipped away
to Kenosha, Wis, with his cousin,
Miss Anna Belle Kellogg, sister of
Mrs, Sadler By going to the Wiscon-
sin city they evaded the Illinois law
prohibiting the marriage of cousins
and had the ceremony performed by
Judge George W. Taylor.
AT $50 o'clock at night Mr.. and
Mrs Kellogg stood up with Edward
Van Bond of Dallas, Tex, and Miss
Sarah Mildred Wilmer of La Grange
and went through the formalities of
another marriage. Mr. Van Bond and
Miss Wilmer being married at the
same time. Rev. Joseph Hayes
Chandler of Chicago officiated.
Miss Kellogg for number OF years
had been associated with her brother
in-law, DR.. Sadler, as a nurse. Miss
Wilmer had also been a member of
the Sadler household She is known
as a pubic reader and elocutionist.
The double marriage was one of
the most elaborate society affairs of
La Grange this season. After a re-
ception following the ceremony the
Kelloggs left for Colorado on their
They will make their
home in Battle Creek. The Van
Bonds will make their home in Dial
las, Tex
There was nothing unusual in the
marriage DR.. Sadler said after the
ceremony. Miss Kellogg and Mill
Wilmer have been like sisters and
lived at my home, and when they de-
cided to get married they thought it
would be nice to make it joint af-
fair.
LAS to Mr.. and Mrs. Kellogg being
cousins, that is of no consequence.
They went to Wisconsin and had
ceremony performed merely to make
the union binding under the law, the
Illinois statutes not permitting such
Then they came back and
went through the religious ceremony"

practical men from all sections Of the
state report an average yield of 3.5
tons per acre, while a good many
others report over five tons per acre
as an average for several years.
One man conducting a cooperative
alfalfa experiment with this agron-

cured hay per acre, for the first cut

from the field for 500 per ton.
The possible production of this
crop when proper cultural methods
are followed is indicated in the fol-

fertility which received no fertilizer
other than from eight to ten tons of
manure per acre before seeding.
From field of even and one-half
acres seeded in August, 1908, on the
college dairy farm, three cuttings
were made in 1909 and again in 1910
with total yield of over five and
one-half tons each year. In 1910 it
also gave considerable pasturage. In
1911, an exceedingly dry year, the
first crop was cut June IL, with an

ALFALFA.
IoWa's Most Valuable Crop.
By H. D. Hughes, Prof. of Farm
Crops, Iowa State College.

By H. D. Hughes, Prof. of Farm
Crops, Iowa State College.
If Iowa's high priced land is in the
future to return a profit to Iowa
farmers then some of the corn acre
age must be devoted to the growing
of alfalfa. This legume is one of
the most valuable crops that can be
grown in the state, 1t will produce
a crop worth again as much as the
average crop of corn and brings the
grower a net profit at least four
times as large. Thus far alfalfa has
not been grown as generally in Iowa
as its value warrants, but it has sue
ceeded so well in the past few years
that the acreage has increased rapid
ly until now something like 10000
acres are devoted to this crop.
Alfalfa is of value in Iowa meas
ured by all four standards for deter.
