Jug-Handfed Reciprocity.

Whenever the country newspapers
find foreigners invading the field
OF home merchants with goods and
merchandise and selling them tc
farmers, they are asked to arise and
whack the intruders and advise the
farmers to buy their goods of the
home merchants. And when foreign
printing houses send their representa-.
tiyes among the merchants and bust
ness men, many of these same mer-
chants give them their orders.
That's ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Dem
ocrat.
Yes, jug handled reciprocity-all on
one side. If the unfair custom has
prevailed among any of the business
men or institutions of this communi-
ty. we trust they will consider the
advisability of cutting it OUT hence
forth, SO far as it involves work
which the local printing offices are
prepared to handle. An essential
part of the pending movement to de-
velop and promote the resources of
this section is to encourage home
industry and enterprise, and if we
preach the doctrine we must practice
it also, else We cannot consistently
claim share Of its advantages nor
expect our arguments to command
respect or influence.

THE MEXICAN SITUATION.

There have been no new develop
ments in the Mexican situation in
the past two weeks. Mr.. Lind, Pres
ident Wilson'S personal representa-
tive, has withdrawn from Mexico City
to Vera Cruz, where he is expected
to remain until it becomes apparent
either that the Huerta administra-
ton will or will not agree to further
negotiations looking to the pacificatiop
of Mexico and the establishment Of
an orderly government by constitu-
tional methods which the United
States can consistently recognize.
A good many Americans residing in
Mexico have taken the advice Of
President Wilson and made their
way out Of that country, but good
many more have refused to abandon
their interests and property, and
are being encouraged by the Huerta
government to remain.
Reports as to the progress Of the
rebellion are conflicting, as usual,
but the preponderance of evil
denee seems to support the claims Of
the Huerta partisans that the Con-
stitutionalists are losing ground.

PRESIDENT TAFT.

Hon. VIM. Howard Taft is both
ex-president and president. He is
ex-president of the United States
and the newly elected president of
the American Bar Association.
This eminent organization held its
annual session at Montreal, Canada,
during the last week In August and
first week in September, and one Of
the best papers on the program was
presented by Mr.. Taft, whose sub
ject was ssThe Selection and Tenure
of Judges The views to which the
author had given repeated previous
expression were ably reiterated in
this address and met with the cor
dial appreciation and concurrence OF
his hearers. The principal conten-
tons Of the argument were that
judges of state courts should be ap-
pointed for life, rather than elected
for limited terms, and be removable
by impeachment, as the federal
judges are, and that experience and
comparison prove that under this
system a better class of judges is Sc
cured and the efficiency and influ-
ence Of the courts are promoted.
The clearness and force OF Mr..
Taft's address ON this important sub
ject doubtless had something to do
with the spontaneity and unanimity
of his election as president of the
bar association. Whether this be so
or not, the fact remains that the Or
ganization and the man were alike
honored by the choice.

A SUCCESSFUL LAUNCHING.

Every interest and everybody in
this community has reason to be graf.
flied by the unqualified success of the
initial step in the movement to es-
tablish a fair association and inaugu-
rate a series of annual exhibitions Of
the products and resources of the
five parishes represented at the
meeting held in this city Monday
evening last.
The tanering was exceptionally
Well-attended and interesting, and
the spirit displayed was the best
noted here in many day. The talks
of the speakers were all timely and
direct. the plan of organization adopt
ed is practical and efficient, the IL
tie selected is appropriate, and the
personnel Of the officers chosen to
guide the association through its
initial year most satisfactory. To
borrow Father Massardier's express
sion, our best foot has certainly been
put forward in this fair association
movement.
Fairs are better boomers than per-
haps any other enterprise that can
be devised, and they pay large divi-
dends in the long run in stimulating
ambition and effort for better stock,
better farm products, better business
and farming methods and better citi-
zenship.
Ascension, Assumption, Iberville,
Lafourche and St James have plenty
to show, and if the people of these
five parishes will take proper inter
est, there is no reason why the pro-
iected fair should not be made a
big event and one of great value to
this section of the state.
Cordial greetings and unbounded
success to the South Louisiana Fair
Association! May it's opening annual
exhibition on October 10, IL, and u,
1918, be red letter event in local
history and the precursor of many
others still more pretentious and sue
cessful!

A MATTER OF VITAL IMPORT
ANCE TO DONALDSONVILLE.

Announcement has been made in
this paper of the ninth annual con-
Tention of the Interstate Inland Wa
terway League of Louisiana and
Texas. to be held at Orange, Texas,
October II and Is, and in the pro-
ceedings Of the Donaldsonville COM
mission councils monthly session OF
Sept. [, published in our last weeks
issue, appeared the report of Mayor
Lemann that he had appointed the
following gentlemen to represent this
city at the convention: Edward N.
Ppgh, John s. Thibaut, H. c. White
man. J. J, Lafargue, c. Kline, r. N.
Sims, f. B. Lemann, G. NJ. Odell, Z.
A. Aucoin, Jasmin Tobias and Chas.
4. Maurin.
This is an excellent delegation of
representative citizens, and it is
greatly to be hoped and desired that
all of its members will be able INTO
attend the convention. The matter
is too important to be neglected or
left to chance, however, and the del
egates should be asked to Indicate
definitely whether they accept the
dSSlSuuGIL uIt ShP$SG w H-A>
trip to Orange at the time deslgnat-
ed for the meeting. In the event
that these citizens are not in pto-
sition to pay their own expenses as
well as to contribute their time to
the public service, provision should
be made for a fund to defray the
necessary cost of transportation and
maintenance for an effective delega-
ton. The Assumption Pioneer has
suggested that the police Jury of that
parish make an appropriation to pay
the expenses of two or more dele.
gates to the Orange convention, and
the Ascension police jury and Don
jacksonville council could well do like
WISE
The principal object of the conven.
ton is to promote the completion OF
the intercoastal canal. According to
the original survey of that waterway
nonaldsonyille is its eastern termi-
nus, and we must bestir ourselves to
have this route adhered to. An abs
soute essential to the success Of this
effort is the construction of locks to
replace the dam that now shuts off
the connection between Bayou La
fourche and the Mississippi river at
Donaldsonyille. Therefore, our first
and greatest interest in the Orange
convention is to obtain it's approval
CT the original survey, which pre-,
scribes decidedly the best route for
the eastern section of the inland wa
terway; and this approval involves
and includes Endorsement of the de-
mand that locks be substituted for
the DonaIdsonville dam.
The larger and stronger the delega-
ton sent from this section the bet
ter will be its chances for success,
aid there is probably no purpose to
which a little money can be more
profitab1y applied at this time than
to insure the participation of such
a delegation in The convention to
assemble at Orange next month. 81

Crop Comment.

This has been wet, cool week,
typical Of the period Of the year.
The rainfall comes too late to be of
any benefit to the cane crop, but
just III time to interfere with the
harvesting Of corn and hay. In the
opinion Of most planters, nothing will
stimulate the cane to further growth
at this time except good shaking up
by means of a wind storm, such as
occasionally occurs in late September,
and a disturbance of this kind would
be welcomed if not of too violent a
character. The crop is practically
at standstil1, and with the open
ing of the grinding season only five
or six weeks away there is small
likelihood Of sufficient development
in the interim to alter the prospect
now impending, which is for a lisht
tonnage ali along the line
Considerable damage has been done
to peayine hay by the rains of the
past week, and the supply of this
feed to be housed for winter use
will not be anything like as large
as had been anticipated. The yield
Of corn, while not up to early ex-
pectations, is yet quite the best
that has been obtained in this To-
cality, and the crop will be the larg-
est On record.
The rice season is drawing to
close, and statistics as to yield
and prices show the crop was a
fairly satisfactory one, although not
a reccrd-breaker by any means.
Hon. Henry c. Braud, of Burnside,
visited Donaldsonville Wednesday to
attend a meeting of the Peoples
Bank board of directors, and in re-
spouse to a query as to crop condi-
tons on the Miles Company's group
of places, characterized them as
$3.50" Cane is not making much
growth, Mr.. Braud said, and corn
and hay are being injured by rain
to some extent.

CIVIL SERVICE PRINCIPLE
UPHELD.

An attempt was recently made to
dispIace r. e. Redfern, United
States commissioner of immigration
at New Orleans, and to have a Dem
ocrat appointed in his place, there
bling no other apparent reason for
seeking the change thar the circum-
stance that the incumbent commits
sioner is cIassed as a Republican.
Having performed the duties of his
office with marked efficiency and
manifested untiring zeal in the cause
of the establishment of the model
immigration station with which the
port of New Orleans is now supplied,
Mr.. Redfern was strongly backed for
retention by the Louisiana senators
and congressman, by Mayor Behrman
and many other prominent Demo
Gratis. The question Of the status OF
the office was submitted to the civil
service commission, which decided
that the commissionership is class
flied civil service position, only to
be vacated or filled il the manner
provided by the civil service act.
This quieting of Commissioner Red
ferns official title is very gratifying
to his large circle Of personal friends
and also to nearly everybody feeling
an interest in the promotion of immi-
grafton through New Orleans; and
it may be further said that the out
come is not at all disagreeable to the
unsuccessful asIdrant to the New
Orleans commissionership. Lawson E.
Evans of Gulfport. Miss, since his
candidacy for this place led to his
appointment to more lucrative post
that Of immigration commissioner
at San Juan, Porto Rico.
The Redfern case, coupled with
the recent announcement by Secre-
tary Of State VIM. j. Bryan, acting
on the authority of President Wilson,
that the civil service principle will
be maintained in filling vacancies
and making promotions in the con-
sular service, supplies additional evil
dence of the intention Of the present
national administration not to coun-
tenance or permit any resuscitation
of the old spells system to satisfy the
demands of patronage dispensers or
the aspirations of office seekers.

THE TARIFF BILL PASSES THE
SENATE.

The prolonged tariff contest in
the United States senate was brought
to an end last Tuesday afternoon,
when the UnderWood-s bill
was passed by a vote of A to 81,
announcement of the result being
greeted with loud applause in the
galleries and On the floor Of the ser
ate
The affirmative vote was cast by
AZ Democrats, 1 Republican lSenator
LaFollette of wisconsin, and 1 Pro-
gressive Senator Poindexter of
Washington. Voting in the negative
were 35 Republicans and 2 Demo-
Gratis (Senators Thornton and Rams
dell of Louisiana). Senator New
lands of Nevada was the only I'M
paired senator absent, hence it Is
assumed he did not care to record
himself as either in favor of or op-
posed to the bill.
Earnest and determined efforts
were made: to amend the bill in a
number OF particulars, such as abro-
eating the free sugar and free WOOL
clauses, expunging the tax on ba-
nanas and cotton futures and chang
ing many of the rates Of duty on
other articles, but the Democratic ma
jority held together in opposing any
changes except the few that had the
Endorsement of the Democratic eau
Gus and approval of the finance COM
mittee. Recognizing the futility Of
further opposition, the minority agreed
to final vote on the measure, with
y, e<+a tod oh
The next step in order will be to
refer the bill to a conference COM
mittee Of the two houses Of con-
gress, and by the time this article
appears in print this committee will
doubtless be at work on the prob
lem Of harmonizing the differences
of opinion between these bodies in
yolved in the changes made by the
senate in the bill as it came from
the house. The senate conferees. ap-
pointed Immediately after Tuesdays
vote, are Senators Simmons, Shively,
Williams and Johnson, Democrats,
and Penrose, Lodge and LaFollette,
Republicans. The house conferees
were expected to be Representatives
Underwood, Kitchen and Rainey, Dem
ocrats, and Payne and Fordneys Re-
pubHcans. It is thought the confer
ence committee will be ready to re-
port within two weeks and that only
a few days will then be consumed in
the final passage Of the completed
bill by both houses.
President Wilson has expressed
his great pleasure at the outcome,
and warmly praised the ! firmness
and loyalty of the party leaders who
so successfully conducted the tariff
contest in house and senate. The
president is confident that business
will revive and show great forward
strides under the new tariff, which
he regards the best and most equita-
BILE the country has had for many
years.
1t is to be hoped his estimate will
prove correct, but the people of Lou
isiana and other states whose prin-
cipal industries have been attacked
and Disseminated against cannot be
expected to coincide with this op-
timistic and gleeful view Of the sit
uation.

A Little Republican Victory.

nary popgun Of the next national
campaign was popped-off last Mon
day in the third congressional dis
trict of Maine. where q special cleo

caused by the death of Congressman

national prominence participated, in

THE NEW YORK IMBRoGL1o.

The rival claimants to the cover.
norship of New York are still stand.
ing pat and going through the mo,
tons of doing gubernatorial business.
Both houses Of the legislature have
formally recognized Lieutenant Gov.
ernor Glynn as the acting governor,
but Gov. Sulzer holds on to the ex-
ecutlve office at the Albany capitol
and declares he will not let go I'M
less compelled to do so by competent

This condition of affairs is likely
to continue until the conclusion Of
the impeachment trial which is to
open in the state senate on Sep
TENDER Is. The legislature has ad-
journed until the 18th.
Friends of Gov. Sulzer are report
ed to be making efforts to have
criminal indictments found against
four Of the legislators who have been
most prominent and active in the
movement for the impeachment of
the governor. These men are Sem

the foundations for the impeachment.
and Speaker A. e. Smith and Ma

assembly. Levy and FraWley are ac-

while Wagner and Smith are charged
with perjury for having falsely certi-
fed to a quorum. They all declare
their intention to seek redress
through civil and criminal actions
for the publication of the damaging
accusations.
