Not such a Bad Pattern.

Says the esteemed Shreveport
Journal:
Hon, Walter Lemann, the progress
sive mayor of the progressive little
city of Donaldsonvi1le, which recent
" adopted the commission form of
government, was visitor to- Shreve-
port Wednesday, having come to this
city TO get some pointers on how
the new plan of government actually
works. Of course Mayor Lemann got
what he wanted, and if he will now
go home and insist that Donaldson
vile pattern after Shreveport in all
other matters he will be comforting
upon his home city the greatest boon
within the gift Of man.
That's some big talk and there are
several things that may be justly re-
garded as greater boons than hold
ing on to Shreyeport's coattails, but
we are free to confess there are a
great many cities that can't equal
the Caddo metropolis as a municipal
pattern.

Mount Mckinley Scaled.

After years of unsuccessful effort
the feat of ascending to the top OF
the south peak of Mount Mckinley,
Alaska, has been accom- plished. The
victorious climbers are Archdeacon
Stuck, Episcopal missionary for Alas
ka, Robert Tatum, Harry Carstens
and Walter Harper, and they reached
the summit of the peak, 20,500 feet
above sea level, on the 7th of June.
This is the highest point on the con-
tinent. DIR. Frederick A. Cook claim
ed to have made the ascent several
years ago, but bis pretensions we're
dlsproyed even more conc1usively
than We're his claims that he had
reached the north pole.

Crop Comment.

The weather continues exceptional.
" favorable for the crops, local
showers and high temperatures com
bining to produce conditions that
could not well be bettered. The past
week has witnessed some particularly
warm weather, each day having been
a scorcher. Copious rains fell in va
rlous localities, and the need for
moisture at this time seems to have
been very generally and generously
supplied. All field work has been
completed except on a few places
where delays We're caused by excess
s1ye rainfalls, and the cultivation
given the crop has been most care
ful and thorough. With the land in
fine filth and the atmospheric condi-
tons propitious from every stand
point, there Is no reason why cane
shouldn't grow like house afire and
round out into normal development
by the time cooler weather arrives.
The crop at this period is perhaps a
few weeks backward as compared
with an ordinary year, but it is grow
ing rapidly and all indications point
to an entirely satisfactory yield.

Civic Improvement Popular.

It. is extremely gratifying to note
that our property owners and citl-
zens are cooperating with the mu-
nicipal authorities in their efforts to
clean the streets and beautify the
city by complying with the provisions
of the ordinance requiring the cut
ting of grass and the removal of
waste paper and the like. Display
stands in front of stores, blackboards
advertising moving picture shows,
beer kegs, boxes and all other OBJ
structions on sidewalks and streets
have been removed, and our
thoroughfares are cleaner and more
attractive looking than they have
ever been. Instead OF garbage cans
being permitted to remain on the
streets continuously, they must here
after be placed outside Of premises
only on the days when a collection
of garbage is to be made.
All the streets were worked this
week with the road machine or a
split-log drag, and the paved
thoroughfares were sprinkled morn
ing and afternoon Throughout their
entire length on several occasions.
The grass-cutting ordinance is being
rigidly enforced, and the city is rap
idly being freed of the tall grass and
unsightly weeds which heretofore
have enjoyed luxuriant and unre-
stricted growth.
The three city commissioners GER
tainly seem to be ION to- their jobs,
and under their efficient and pains
taking management DonaldsonVi1le is
promised an exceptionally aggressive
and fruitful administration Of its pub.
lie affairs.

AN IMPERATIVE CIVIC DUTY.

At a harmonious and enthusiastic
meeting of representative business
men and citizens of Donaldsonyille
and vicinity, held at the Grand Thea
ire last Sunday, movement was
launched to reorganlze the Donald
sonville Progressive Union and to
place the new association on a basis
that will enable it to do the system
attic and practical work required for
the exploitation and development Of
the resources of this city and parish.
There can be no two opinions
among intelligent and obserVant res
idents of the community as to the
great and urgent necessity for such
an organization-for united and ear
nest work on the part of our people
to render its mission successful, and
thus enable us to survive and over
come the threatened prostration and
possible destruction of our hitherto
chief agricultural industry, the cul-
tiyation OF cane and manufacture Of
sugar. Hence, there can be no dis
sent from the proposition that every
citizen owes it to himself, his family
and his fellow citizens to give a hand
toward the promotion of this move
ment.
Cooperation of this sort is not only
essential and desirab1e-it is to be.
regarded in the light of an i'm
perative civic duty imposing its OBJ
legation upon each and every resi-
dent of the city and parish ac-
cording to the measure Of his
abilities, influence and opportunities.
Failure or refusal to perform the
duty is inexcusable from any point
Of view.
It will be necessary to expend
from $4,000 to $4,000 yearly to main
tain and carry on the work Of the
new organization, and there should
be no difficulty In securing a mem
bership sufficiently large to produce
this sum without subjecting any
body to an onerous or unreasonable
tax. 1t is proposed to make the
organization parish-Wide in it's
scope-an excellent idea, in our judg-
menH-and to employ a trained sec
rotary, or community builder with
special qualifications and fitness
for the work appertaining to the
position. In this way the best meth
DDS and therefore the best re
suits will be assured.
If there are no laggards, no pes
sdmists, no knockers to get in the
way of this wholesome and vital
movement-if the solid and sensible
paon1a IF Dana ldcopuilfn or5 hcoop
sion will encourage aud push it
along-it cannot fail to be benefit
cial and successful from the outset.

Newspaper Men In and Out of Jail.

Judge P. E. Darlington Of the JEFF.
ferson-St. Charles-St. John district
court condemned four owners of the
jefferson Voice to ten days impris-
onment for contempt of court, the
offense consisting in violation Of an
order prohibiting the publication of
the signatures of certain citizens of
Gretna to petition for the incor-
poration of the town. An appeal was
taken to the supreme court, which
tribunal refused to interfere. Three
of the four condemned men, DR..
Charles T. Gelbke, Arthur E. Stone
and jules Hotard, were thereupon
taken to Jail, but Gov. Hall granted
them an indefinite reprieve and they
were released few hours later. Da-
yid Schwartz, the fourth accused, was
in New York. 1t is understood an
pllcation will be made: to the board
of pardons for the remission of the
penalty imposed by Judge Burlington,
and favorable action is confidently
expected. The affair is an outcome
of the recent hot political contest in
jefferson parish, all of the Voice
owners having been active supporters
of the Good Government League
cause and opponents of Sheriff Mar
zero and Judge Edrington, leaders Of
the so-ealled ring faction.

CHANGING THE TARIFF BILL.

1t appears, after ali, that the I'm
derwood tariff bill as sanctioned by
the president and passed by the
house, is not to be regarded SO sacred
In its entirety as not to be altered in
even the slightest particular without
mourning the penalty of Democratic
anathema and communication.
Senator Simmons, chairman of the
senate finance committee, gave out
the statement, after conference
with President Wilson, that the
clause providing for a five per cent.
dlfferentia1 on imports in American
owned or controlled vessels would be
dropped from the Underwood bill in
the senate; this action to be taken
because of the protests of foreign ma
tons.
The clause compelling foreign mer-
chants to submit their books to
American agents in case OF disputed
valuation was also slated for elimi-
nation for similar reason.
The senate subcommittee in
charge Of various schedules of the
Dill have reported in favor of numer-
Gus other changes, including an adj
vance OF the rates on cotton pro-
ducts, which is to be conceded in def
efence to the demands and interests
OF domestic cotton raisers.
why, then. In the name of COM
mon consistency and common justice,
cannot a like concession be made to
home sugar producers?
What has become of the American
spirit OF fair play that invidious dis
motions should be eountenaneed in
1eallng with our own people?

THE LEVEE BOARD AND THE
LOCKS.

Announcement has been made Of
a meeting of the joint organization
of the Lafourche Basin and Atchafa-
laya levee boards to be held at
Donaldsonville next Monday, the 21st
instant, and it is understood some
action is contemplated with refer
ence to the long pending and much
neglected project of replacing the
dam at the head of Bayou Lafourche
with locks.
This is a subject Of great import
ance and interest 10 the people OF
DonaldsonyIlle and the upper La
fourche valley, and We suggest that
a delegation of citizens be formed
to attend the meeting and urge up
on the levee commissioners the
|propriety and necessity of taking
steps to have these locks construct
ed.
There is no need at this late day
to argue the question of the moral
and legal obligation of the levee
boards to restore the ravigab1e con-
nection between the Mississippi riv-
er and Bayou Lafourche by substi-
tuting locks for the existing dam,
for there can be no honest difference
OF opinion as to that obligation. It
WAS specified in the act of the gen
eral assembly authorizing the boards
to build the dam, with the consent of
the federal authorities first OBJ
tanned to temporarily obstruct the
navigation of the bayou, and it was
repeated in the application upon
which the secretary of war predicat-
ed his consent that this temporary
obstruction should be installed.
The sole duty of the levee boards
in this connection, therefore, is to
consider and devise the most prac-
tleable means for carrying out their
legal contract with the state and
federal governments and their moral
contract with the people of the two
leVee districts, and if the problem
is taken up with earnestness and
good faith, there can be no doubt
of the finding of an early solution.
