A DUTY OF THE PRESS

We had occasion short time ago 10
comment on the fact that numbers of in
sane persons are confined in the Jalls
throughout the State because there Is nc
room for them in the State asylums. We
expressed the opinion then that the con-
finement of these poor creatures ought &c
be regarded by the people of the State
as blot on its fair name and we APP
pealed to the press of the State to take
the matter up and agitate it until the
evil is remedied. We regret that, so far
as we have seen, no notice has been
taken of this matter by our exchanges
and we therefore again express the hope
that our great contemporaries of the city
press, as we'll as our country contempt
raries, will take this scandalous condition
Of affairs under consideration and give
some expression of opinion as to what
can and ought to be done to remery 1t.
II certainly is primary function of the
press to give publicity to grievous con-
ditions like those under consideration
and to endeavor to Great public senti-
ment which shall be so weighty and in
sistent as to compel action on the part
of the Legislature at its next session. In
our opinion no pen in Louisiana can to-
day be enlisted in a more worehy cause
than that of ameliorating the sad lot OF
those poor creatures who now langish
in the common sails in this States, there
to pine and suffer until death comes to
their relief.-Tensas Gazette.

WHAT MAKES GOOD CORN?

Four things are necessary to insure
a heavy yield of corn; long growing
season, an ample supply of moisture
throughout the growing season, heat and
sunshine continuously while the corn IS
growing and filling out and fertile soil
The u. S. Weather Bureau reports the
average length of the crop growing sea
son to be 24O days in northern Louisi-
ana, 23O days in southern Arkansas ana
22O days in central Arkansas. This
makes growing season for corn OF
seven to eight months ample time tor the
growing and ripening of heasy yield
and thorough drying of the grain before
it is husked. In Louisiana the corn
when husked often contains only twelve
per cent of moisture, while corn in the
north frequently shows twenty to TWEEN
ty-seven per cent Of moisture in Decem-
Der. Sixteen percen of moisture 10 the
limit in corn for best quality for export.
Official records show an average o.
1878 hours of sunshine year in LOU
;siana. The Weather Bureau shows the
same amount of sunshine in Arkansas
IS is recorded for Texas and eastern Kan
sas.
The rainfall in Arkansas is ample and
we'll distributed. The heaviest rainfall
occurs during the spring and summer and
,.ober is the driest month. This pro-
vides an abundance of moisture through
the growing season and dry, warm
weather and sunshine while the crop is
ripening The average annual rainfall in
Arkansas varies from forty-one to fifty
inches and in northern Louisiana and
fifty to fifty-fiive inches.
The soil in the river bottoms has been
brought down from twenty northern
States and is the Cream" from the best
soils of North America. The up and
soils are moderately fertile, and the
long growing season, the well distributed
rainfall and the sunshine make yields of
corn on these lands fully equal to those
of the rich bottom lands in districts
where the season is short and the rain
all is not seasonable.
The two staple crops of the money
uaking farmers of the United States are
D6rn and wheat. The corn growers as a
rule are the most prosperous, have the
most money, the best improved farms
and the most comfortable homes. Ark
ansas and Louisiana offer the greatest OPP
portunity in the world for raising large
crops of corn and for selling them at a
high price.-H M. Coetrell in Southwest
Trail. LA q

DEFY UNITED STATES.

Mexico City, Nov. 7.-Provi
sional President Huerta forma
negative reply, to the U. S. de
mands, which was discussed in de
tail at last nights cabinet meet
ing, will set forth that the Unit
ed States has no right, legal OF
otherwise, to demand Huerta I
elimination. This statement was
given out today from one of the
departments of the Mexican gov
eminent.
The reply, it is said, will also
assert Provisional President
Huerta has no legal right to ac-
uede to the demands. The in
formant says it was decided to
incorporate in the reply decla-
ration that Gen. Huerta intends
to increase the Mexican army to
500, 600 men.

HONOR TO HIM TO WHOM HONOR
is DUE.

In the fair city of New Orleans, where
Catholic hearts never fail to honor and
give praise to the noble hearted "army
of the servants of Cod, there was held
Tuesday last one of the grandest celebra-
tons in the life of the Priest. Fifty
years servitude The golden jubilee of "a
grand old man." grown grey in the cause
of religion and the salvation of souls.
Fifty years of sacrifice. Fifty years OF
lofty aspirations--of thoughts of the Di-
vine. The central figures of the splendid
gathering was Very Rev. Cannon, ]. B.
Bogaerts, Rector of St. Anne's church
In connection with this celebration, we
must add that the honor of crowning, as
it were, this noble man, was bestowed
upon our own worthy pastor, Very Rev.
J. M. Langlois. Honor to him, to whom
honor is due" were the words with
which he greeted the venerable jubilarian
And, "your fifty years of priesthood have
made bright day in Louisiana. A long
Pastorate is indeed blessing. In pre-
sentng you with our gifts, however hum
BILE, we, the Clergy of Louisiana beg to
remind you that the sentiments that
prompt them are as pure as the material
of which one gift-the chalice-is com
posed"
We are proud to note that the devoted
ness and zeal of our dear Pastor is every
day bringing to the Parish of Iberia, soms
recognition of "a work we'll DONE" Let
US strive to make his life, his noble as
pirations-a long dream-realized. Lei
us stand shoulder to shoulder and for the
greater good of our community, at large
let us give "Honor to him, to whom
honor is due"

AN OBJECT I'm VIEW.

You seldom find saving fam
lily paying rent:
A family paying rent has no
special incentive to save, but the
family that buys a home has a
special object to save for. They
at once realize that it is much
more important to save Their mon
ely and pay for their home than
to waste it foolishly, and if they
have borrowed money from this
Association they can ray it back
in easy monthly payments.
1t is all in the plan.

GIVING THE NEWS.

One of the most unpleasant tasks OF
the average newspaper is the publication
of an article which might be construed
by the outside world as reflection upon
the community in which it labors. 1t
is distasteful to newspaper to PRINT
anything that does not tend to boost Its
own town.
It is an impression becoming too gen
eral among the public that newspaper
man ploafs over every brutal crime and
every sensational occurrence regardless OF
whom it may affect. 1t is the belief
among some that the news OF an cpl
demic of municipal scandal, or famine
in food supplies of any kind, or any other
chronicle of the seamy side of life, which
NAV be found at times in any commun-
ity is the cause of rejoicing among news
paper men, in that it gives them chance
to fill the paper with large headlines and
a mass of lurid details.
This is a mistaken idea.
Newspaper men are human The ma
iority of them are optimists, especially IN
Louisiana. Each of them has his
friends who may be affected by the pub
LEGATION of such stories. And in each
newspaper man is found loyalty to his
city greater than that of the average
reader.
WHY then, do we find in newspaper
columns any stories which chronicle the
disadvantages of the community or the
misdeeds of its citizens?
Because it is the first duty OF the
newspaper man to give the news. The
people have right to know conditions as
they actually exist. They depend upon
the newspapers to give them this intor-
nation. The newspaper which does not
do this is falling short of its mission.
In publishing the news as it occurs, no
matter how distasteful the duty may be
the newspaper accomplishes good in two
directions. 1t awakens the public to a
need for reform of those things which
are not as they should be. And it in
stills in the minds of would-be trans
gressors of the law wholesome fear OF
publicity which goes far toward pre-
venting crime-Crowley Signal

DoINGs OF POLICE JURY.

The Police Jury met in regular
monthly session last Thursday,
but due to the large amount OF
work. the meeting was continued
to next Thursday when it is hoped
that all ending business will be
disposed of. Amongst matters OF
public interest acted upon may be
mentioned the contemplated ere
alton of a Drainage District on
the East Side of the Teche which
the CITY Of New iberia proposes
to join, and together to convert
Little Bayou into navlgable
stream to connect Bayou Teche
with Grand Lake. Mayor Fon-
telieu and Mr.. E. F. Millard ap-
peared in the interest of this pro
ject and were listened to with
interest by the Jury as well as by
the AUDIENCE assembled, While
unable to take definite action I'M
til detailed plans could be sub
mitted them, the members appar-
emily approved the project, ano
it was the sense of the meeting
that the District would be formed
in due time, and every assistance
rendered the city to take pos.
sible the accomplishment Of al
enterprise which would so truly
serve the commercial and indus.
trial interest of the people. Every
retail liquor dealer of the Parish
presented request for the red,lc-
ton of the Incense from One
Thousand Dollars to Five Hundred
Dollars. The hard times pre-
vailing through this entire sec
ton have so affected the bushes,
of the country saloons, that those
engaged in their conduct found il
impossible to continue at the pre-.
vailing license. This the Jury
recognized to be true and granted
the request, with the understand
ing however. that the license
would be advanced to one thou
sand dollars as soon as conditions
would justify the raise. This ac-
ton has occasioned some crit
cism, both adverse and favorable
which time alone will prove.
The oft discussed Wyche road
again occupied the attention OF
the Jury for considerable time
Mr.. Wyche submitted a final offer
for the sale Of his road. AS the
matter is now in Court where it
was scheduled for trial the fol.
lowing day, the proposition was
tabled. The criticisms occa
stoned by the unsightly appear
ance of the Court House and sur
roundings caused the Jury to APP
propriate $4,000, to which the
CITY Commissioners added $4,000,
and to adopt a resolution request
ing the ladies of the Civic League
to undertake abe task Of beauti-
flying and improving this piece of
public property. The Parish and
City officials have acted wisely
in this and the whole community
will approve their course. We
sincerely trust that the ladies OF
the League will accept the task
imposed and with the funds at
their disposal convert this old eye
sore into a place of beauty and a
joy to the citizens.
Long and tedious ordinances
relating to taxes and licenses
were presented and kept the Jury
at work until a late hour prevent
ing consideration of much other
important business. Hence the
necessity for another session next
Thursday.
