however, do not in the least prevent
the visitors from enjoying an unob-

In an old temple with columns and

dark named lions and the stealthy
forms of tigers haunting the ruins.
An up-to-date restaurant in the gar

Prof. Seidl. From the terraces of this
restaurant beautiful view over the

their feet still.
The men who have asked to be

ERA CLUB BUTTiNG IN.
Monroe NeWS-Star::

Monroe News-Star:
The News-Star is of the opinion
that the Era Club, of New Orleans,
composed of women, showed a woe
full lack of appreciation Of the prOpri-
cites in opposing the candidacy Of
Mrs. Robert G.. Wickliffe for the pO-
sition of chairman of the Children's
Bureau of the United States. This
estimable lady is the widow of the Ia
rented Congressman from the Sixth
Congressional District, who met such
tragic death in Washington last
summer. She is the mother of a
sweet little child-possessing to a
large degree the mother instinct and
love-and she is noted for her noble
Qualities of mind and heart. 1t seems
to us that the ladies OF the Era Club,
had they been truly unselfish, would
have gladly and enthusiastically en-
dorsed the candidacy of this widow
of Louisiana congressman-through
State pride, if for no other reason.
However, Mrs. Wichliffe is receiv-
ing splendid support from leading Ia
dies and men all over this great IA
ton, and the chances are she will re-
ceive the appointment at the hands
of President Wilson. Her candidacy
for the position is such as to arouse
the chivalry aud manhood of every
true Southerner, whether man or w0-
man, and if the expressions of Opin-
ion from men who admire her bril-
liant work in Washington, as they re.
member that of her gifted husband,
and the women, who wOmanlike, re-.
member her pitiful plea in the midst
of her own great grief for the babies
OF Louisiana, are evidences of what
Louisiana and the South want in r9s-
pect to her candidacy, her appoint
ment seems secure.

LIVING IN THE PAST.

The argument has been presented
that, as our system Of roads has been
in vogue for over a hundred years,
why isn't it good now?
Silly as it may seem, some people
are really impressed with buncombe.
because ones grandfather begged IN
the mud or had to sit on the bank
and watch the creek run down is no
reason why he should do the same.
e The answer to such sOphistry is that
we live in a progressive age. Would
any man who gives the above ques-
ton as a reason for satisfaction for
present conditions be willing to re-
vert to other conditions as they eX-
listed along with those roads? Would
he be satisfied to get his mail once
q week instead of daily? Would he
be willing to take the time for boat
trip when he could reach his destina-
ton in much shorter time by rail
road train? Would he be willing to
do without his daily paper, the tele-
phone, the telegraph, the electric
light, the trOlly car, and hundreds of
ether modern conveniences, simply
because people in past generations
were denied these latter day neces-
sites? There is but one answer.
There isn't a man, we believe, who
will perjure himself to the extent OF
an affirmative reply.
The question quoted in the open
ing paragraph, of this article answers
nothing, gives no remedy for latter
day evils. It's only utility is as a
password for the Amalgamated As
ISOLATION of Mossbacks.

Era Clubs Opposition to Mrs. WickIife

composed of the most representative
women of that city, appears to be
strenuOusly engaged in trying to de-
feat the aspirations of Mrs. Robert
C. Wickliffe, who is seeking appoint
nent under the Democratic admins
tration for the position of Chief OF
the Children'S Bureau. Despite thz
fact that this intelligent body of w0-
men declare that politics should not
be injected into the operations of
the Childrens Bureau, sentiment is
largely with the widow of Louisiana S
gifted son who met such a tragic
death a few months since.
This same Era Club has endorsed
Southern man for the post Of Com
missioner of Agriculture, yet it de-
murs in the appointment of a true
Southern woman for a position, sim
ply because ''pOlitics is father to the
thought"
Mrs. Wickliffe should have the sup,
port of Louisiana's representatives in
Congress. She is a formidable can
didate, and while the Era Club be-
means it's ignorance of her qualifica-
tons for the position, she will never,
theless have the support of numerous
friends, together with hundreds Of
loyal friends of her distinguished anu
lamented husband whose life was cut
short in it's inception of promising
future.
Here's trusting Mrs. Wickliffe Sc
cures the appointment. Louisiana
would add laurels to its honor wee
this gifted woman to receive the po
stOn in question.

DR.. JONES ENDORSES MRS.
WlCKLiFFE.

In an article appearing in the New
Orleans States, DR.. Thos. Spec Jones,
formerly Of this parish. says:
Il am glad, indeed, to see the 9TH
er New Orleans papers championIng
the cause of Mrs. Wickliffe, for when
she is appointed chief of this bureau
she is going to administer it's affairs
in a way that will reflect credit up
on Louisiana and the entire South,
as we'll as the Democratic party. 1t
was to be expected that The True
Democrat would do it's utmost to Sc
cure her appointment for it is locat-
ed in West Feliciana, her home,
where she is known best, esteemed
highest, and loved most, and it is
gratifying to see the larger papers of
the State taking up the fight to aid
her, for it means that her worth is
recognized and appreciated.
THE Era Clubs resolution was,
think, hasty and unbecOming. The
authors of the resolution need not
feel the least doubt about her fitness
for the position. Any woman who
can plan harmony breakfast" for
five or six hundred women, even
Democratic women, and execute this
function tremendously and thereby
attract the attention of the world, is
most certainly capable Of presiding
over a little thing like national de-
partment."

COST OF BAD ROADS is TREMEN-
DOUS ON FARMERS.

1t is generally conceded that bad
roads entail burden of expense up
on those who have to use them, but
many country people do not realize
fully the great loss entailed by such
roads. The Highways Committee of
the Civic and Commerce association
Of Minneapolis has issued a report Of
estimates that it has secured from
farmers, after a careful investiga-
ton, of the actual cost which they
have suffered on account of bad
roads in their locality. Accounts TAX
en- of the loss of time due to extra
trips made necessary by smaller
loads and slower progress, shows
that these farmers lost in 1911 about
1921 900, which is said to be "far I'M.
derstated." There were other losses
the whole aggregating $60S,000.
The trade district of Minneapolis
Wv oAudi lAllCS. TlOlIl IlS LIS
ureS furnished by the farmers it IS
estimated that each lost $3.50 in 1911
because of bad roads, or $40 for
each acre farmed, or IL per cent Of
his total investment. The report as
serts that what the farmers of that
district lost in 1911 through bad roads
would have bought "all the corn pro-
duced in the district, or all the wheat
or the oat crop twice over" More
over 1T would replace the farm i'm
plements owned in the district every
three years, the horses every four
years, and the other domestic ami
mails combined every six months. -

In the last ten years thousands of
farmers have settled in Louisiana
and made good on its lands. There
can be no doubt that other thousands
will do equally as well in the future
But those who are just now engag'
ed in the selling of Louisiana lands
ought to be guided by two considera
tons: They ought to offer their
lands without misrepresentation and
they ought to seek purchasers OF
farm lands only among persons who
know something about farming. 9th

to injure themselves and the State

GOOD ROADS.

When you mention good road"
to some people, they act as though a
death had occurred in the family, and
begin to COnjure up visions Of eX-
CeSsiye taxation, bankruptcy, graft
and such kindred bug bears. This
is all unnecessary and entirely out
of keeping with the ideas of the few
progressive men of the parish who
have started the movement of bet
ter roads and bridges for West Fe-
liciana.
In the first place, take any man
who is in favor Of good roads; in
ninety-nine cases out of a hundred
he is a man who has made a sue
cess of his own particular line. He
is living in the present and for th9
future-nOt in the dim distant past
He wants good roads as a business
proposition, pure and simple. If he
couldn't see that good roads would
pay big dividends, you couldn't per-
suade him to go into the move
ment under any circumstances. Men
of this type, who have proven their
business sagacity and integrity are
not likely to have the wool pulled
over their eyes or to be tricked by
anybody.
The business of constructing good
roads and bridges in West Feliciana
need not assume the monumental ca
lamities presented by non-progres-
sives, True, it will cost money How
much, remains to be seen. The soil
Of this parish and its natural forma-
ton present as pretty field for road
construction as can be found any
where. After all is said, the prOpO-
sitiOn resolves itself into a simple
matter of drainage. Keep the roads
drained properly and you will always
have good roads once they have been
put in shape. 1t will take some mon
ey to make a start in this direction
and carry it out to a successful ter
mination, but it will be the best in
Vestment the parish ever made.
or course it will take time to even
make showing in the beginning of
this work, but the time to start is
NOW, the sooner the better. Infor-
nation can be secured from the Unit,
ed States Department of Agriculture
Of an economical system of roads.
Estimates can be secured as to the
probable cost of building roads in the
parish, and then the people will be
in position to do something.
