FRISCO SAFE ROBBED.

Another neat, well planned
safe burglary was pulled off IN
, this City during late hour last
Wednesday night. This time j,
being the Frisco depot, situated
on Jane street who suffered loss
Of between 5000 to 5000. There
being no might Waterman on the
yards an entrance was made by
the yeggmen through one of the
windows opening on the Bayou
front from whence they went to
work on the safe with a determ-
ination to make quick job of
the task. The burglars cut off the
knob and evidently injected into
the hole some kinH of a key from
which they succeeded in throwing
back the lock and the door open,
rihed the contents of the safe,
scattering many of the papers all
over the floor, overlooking a $50
bill that was placed in an en-
velope. A few minutes after the
employees arrived to assume their
work in the different departments
Sheriff Henderson was upon the
scene looking for a clue. but to
all appearances there is very
little for him to work upon. Gen
eral Agent Buflinton will use his
best endeavors to have the thieves
apprehended and in all probabil-
ity some Railroad detectives will
be called into service.

IBERIA SOIL FOR TRUCKERS

Every season. develops the fact
that the soil of Iberia Parish il
capable of producing not only
the staple crops of the South, but
that it is eminently adapted TO
truck growing and fruits. A
glance into our markets will show
a large VARIETY of vegetables of
splendid growth and of fine flavor,
while the people Of the frozen
North are huddled around their
fire places and creased in heavy
furs and boots striving to fight
the elements that almost freeze
the blood, our people are taking
from their gardens grown in the
open air, magnificent specimens
Of all the toothsome vegetables
that SO conduce to good health
and well being Cabbage as fine
as can be raised any where are
seen here, lettuce with white crisp
heads, sweet and tender, spinach

red and pink and white radishes
give relish TO the breakfast or din
ner. beets, carrots, onions, leells.
Kohl rabbi, turnips of excellent
flavor, ruta bagas, for stock, or
the stock beet can all be seen
growing in our magnificent soil,
but the pride OF the garden and
one that is the delight of all is
the numerous varieties of the
caulihower grown in the open air
this "Giant Rose in a green sur
tout" reaches perfection to a
degree that astonishes every one
who will take the trouble to in
vestigate. That this King of the
vegetable Kingdom is at home
here was evidenced to we editor,
when he visited the garden of Mr.
r. J. Carstens this week and saw
over one hundred plants from two
to three feet high bearing a lord
~ cauliflower, several were twelve
inches in diameter, creamy white
and solid, weighing eight to ten
pounds each. one specimen was
fourteen inches i'm diameter and
weighed thirteen pounds, as to
flavor, we can testify as to its
delicate and toothsome quality.
Now if 100 or $50 of these rare
vegetables can Ibe raised here by a
private gardener why not thou
sands of heads be produced and
shipped to cities north and west
Of this point. That it would be
profitable is certain, for such veg.
etables must bring big prices and
be profitable to the grower he
ria soil is just beginning to be
appreciated. since the soil survey
of the Department of Agriculture
at Washington has been made,
showing this soil adapted to truck |
growing. Much interest is being
taken and many are taking up |
the matter. We challenge the
State or the whole country for
that matter to show better soil
for the purpose than that Of lbe-
ria. Let truckmen and strangers
looking for locations take notice. |

RANSDELL AND FOSTER.

Congressman Ransdell has
shown magnanimous spirit in
voluntarily announcing that he
would support Senator Foster for
Collector of the Port. Although
the two men were not long since
engaged in spirited campaign
in which Mr. Ransdell came out
victorious, this proifered courtesy
to his vanquished opponent is
a fitting testimonial to his
breadth Of mind and mobility Of
character. 4, nfs
The papers say the delegation
will unite in this recommends
tion. The appointment will be
a compliment to one who after
many years of faithful service re-
tires in defeat with unsullied
character, honored and respected
by his countrymen i'm every part
OF the State. In all the fierce
political conflicts through which
Senator Foster has passed. not
even a suspicion of wrong doing
has ever been charged against
him, and though he has held high
remunerativc Office for many
years, he goes out to private life
a poor man. all save honor. with
scarcely a shelter to protect him
and his family from the storms Of
life. No tempting hand of NAM
mon ever seduced him from the
straight and narrow way. And
whilst no one deserves credit for
being honest. yet when we see
those in high authority falling
among the Philistines on every
hand and yielding the pregnant
knee that thrift may follow fawn-
ing. it is comforting to those who
love truth for truths sake to
point to man like Senator Eos
ter who has been tried in the
fierce crucible Of public life and
came out as pure godd at the end.

A NATIONAL NAVAL MILITIA

Senator Thornton, OF hot'lS'a'''
was able to get through a Oh
providing for a national naval MI
lit;a in tn Senate yesterday
Some time since the senator re
uorted the bill favorably on we
half of the Senate naval alialr'
committee, and its passage III wv
Sonata makes il more than likely
Ithat il will pass the House o.
iReprpseptatIves and become Ia"
Al The preaent session OF Congress
IA similar measure h6s passed th'
House several times in past Con
crosses but it has failed In the
Senate The bill has been before
CONGRESS- in various forms ever
since the war with Spain.
The object of the measure
which Senator Thornton has sue
cessfullv plated through the sen
ate is to place the Naval Militia
of the states on the same footing
with respect to the National GOV
ernmeut as the land militia ENJOYS
under the provisions of the Dick
law" Should the bill finally
pass. the Navy Department VIII
have the same control over the
Naval Militia which the War De
partmcnt now has over the Ma
tional Guard. The National Gov
eminent will bear the expense OIL
practice cruises. the equipment OF
he Naval Militia and will control
IFS form of organization and dls-
cipline. .
REPRESENTATIVE Estopinal, OF
this state, has charge OF the meas
ure in the House of Representa-
tiyes hence should the bill become
law at the present session of Con
press il will be largely through
the efforts and influence if con
yressmen from Louisiana. While
the Naval Militia is much small
Ter organization than the Ma
tionaI Guard. it is Of much I'M
portance to the naval establish
ment as it is practically the only
reserve force the navy could count
upon in time of war. The closer
relations with the Federal Gov
eminent which the proposed law
will establish will enable the
Navy Department to devote more
time and attention to the proper
training of the Noval Militia and
will permit of a standard system
of drill and discipline throughout
the country as well as uniform
organization.
Heretofore the various Naval
Militia organizations were com
pelled to make the animal cruises
without pay or any assistance for
subsistence from the National
Government This has been
serious handicap and placed the
marine end of the militia at a dis
advantage compared with the land
contingent.
Senator Thornton is entitled TO
much credit for the good work
he has done in getting the meas
IRE through the Senate, in which
body it has heretofore laways
failed of passage. -Picayune.

REPLY TO DIR. AsWELL.
Editor Enterprise:

Editor Enterprise:
/ heartily approve the idea
contained in the headlines OF
front page of last weeks Enter
prise Getty and Country Should
be Cooperative. " ! believe thai
we are entering a period Of great
development along cooperative
lines. From the producers stand
point it is necessary to market ms
/ products comparatively in order
TO realize the full benefits from
his production, the consumer must
protect himself from exorbltanf
prices by buying comparatively
and the middleman must by his
organization maintain his pres
ent advantages of position be

ers. but his advantage Will be dI
minished 'hy cooperation between
the producers and consumers, co
| operatives. and we will in time
realize the ideal Of cooperative
commonwealth.
While cooperation is what
your headlines suggest the text
of Dir. Aswell s address would
lead us to believe that the best
way TO meet the twenty century,
American conditions would be to
90 back to nineteenth century.
European methods of intensive
production on small farms, worked
by large families. To support
this view no cites as an example
the small farmers OF Germany
and France. But what is their
conditions certainly not content
ed and prosperous, the four NIL
lion Socialist votes i'll Germany
and the increase in the consump-
ton Of dog meat there proves the
contrary. The declining birth
rate in France would hardly sup
port the belief that small farms
necessarily mean large families.
Is it not a fact that the most dis
contented country i'll Europe to-
day is Belgium7 There the farms
are smaller, the population denser,
and the workers receive smaller
share of their product than any
country in Europe. Is it not evl-
dent that development along the
same lines here would result III
the same low standard OF living
as in Europe9 The agricultural
development of the country will
be on other lines. The invention
of improved farm machinery. the
of scientific methods
of fertilization and cultivation
under the control of business
will necessarily lead
to larger. instead of smaller farms,
Just as the development of labor
saving machinery in manufacture
ing has lead to larger Factories.
Ian the light of this great develop
ment it is better to teach the ris-
ING generation that in cO-opera-
tive control of the machinery OF
and distribution lies
the solution of the problems OF
our economic life and not re-
urn to the methods of their grand
fathers.

Even rs the Master left his cross below

Forget ysar wrongs your troubles sna yosr lo,s.,

As after storms the soil yields richer treasures.
let go the cross, roll SELF the Stone away,
And dwell with LOVE In Paradise to day
We doubt that a poem has ever
| been writtn calculated to do more
good than the above from the pen
Of Mrs. Ella Wheeler Wilcox.
| II is indeed a strange voice
falling like an echo out of the
stars, that bids us Let go the
Cross. y After all the age-Iong
injunctions Of the necessity of
clinging to, and living under its
shadow, it does indeed seem that
God in these latter days is giving
lis a new dispensation.
That while the Most High, or
that power that works for right
eousness, is the same yesterday,
to-day, and forever, as man
evolves and grows from day to
day he evolves a higher, better,
holier religion.
1t is only Of recent years that
we are learning what a potent
thing thought is. That through
out the past, we've made a bust.
mess Of building crosses with the
tools of thought that have marred
our lives.
We now know that to hug to
our hearts griefs, trials. troubles,
and losses, is to bear up Calvery s
rugged brow the crosses on which
we ourselves are later to be cruc-
fled.
That there should be no look
ING backward, except to profit by
the lessons of the past That the
here and now should occupy ev-
cry moment of our working hours.
The past is gone forever. The
future is not ours. This day. this
hour, yea, this minute is all that
we have with which to front etern-
ityl Shall we spend it in the
workshop of the mind, forging
tools of thought" for good con
strtetive work, or in the field of |
action in kindly service to our
fellowmenY
The message of to-day as of old |
is that the Kingdom of Heaven
is to be found in our own hearts
that we can enter that holy Of
holes any time we wish, if we can
make it fit temple for the in
dwelling of the Holy Spirit, or in
other words, can bring ourselves
to follow in the footsteps of this
inspired woman who has in very
truth "rolled "Self-the stone
away, that she may dwell with
Love in Paradise to-day"
