THE KIND OF A. WOMAN A
MAN LIKES; ROBERT
KITCHENS GIVES
HIS OPINION.

Men like all kinds of women
avs Robert Kitchens in the July
Strand Magazine. There are ugly
men who adore beautiful women
but there are also handsome men
who worship at the shrines OF
women who are quite unlike
Helen of Troy. Many good men
have loved and will love bad
women. Who has not seen bad
men devoted to sanity women ?
On the hand, the dwarf is often
captivated bv the large framed
woman, whose head approaches
the ceilingi I have known deaf
women beloved by talkative men !;
LANG women cherished by men
who were agile; stupid women
thought sensible or even clever.
by men who were brilliant af-
fected women solemnlu admired
by the most natural of men; girls
who turned the heads of grand
fathers, and old women who
lured mere boys to their feet.
Effeminate men often seek
manly women, while the deli
cate woman who never leaves the
sofa attracts the Nimrod and the
hunter of big game. The man
who does not know "God Save
the King" when he hears it as
often as not marries the woman
who is mad about Wagner and
the man who never goes to church
chooses as his helrmate the de-
vout woman who visits dds
-rict" and teaches in Sunday |
school. All kinds of women are
iked-nay, more, are loved by
men. Why not9 For where is
he man who cannot find one wo-
nan-if not two-to think him,
What he probably thinks himself,
he most perfect man in all the

THE FREE SUGAR VOTE.

The Senate in committee OF the

the sugar schedule of the tariff
bill Tuesday and despite all that

of the domestic sugar industry
could do and the devoted efforts
of the Louisiana senators the up

for a gradual reduction of IT,"

was lost by a vote of 80 against
to "a for, and the sugar SEIZED
ule itself was adopted by a viva
vOce vote.
While the action of the Sen
ate in committee of the whole
does not finally dispose of the
matter. as the whole tariff bill
will have to be considered in the
Senate itself when the commit
tee of the whole has finished con
idering the bill in detail Tues
days vote makes the passage OF
the free sugar feature practically
certain. unless the majority loses
several votes in the near future.
The small vote by which the
SENATE accepted free sugar
proves that had the senator's
from the beetgrowing states beer
as loyal to their constituents as
the senators from Louisiana were
to theirs. the destruction of the
domestic sugar industry could
have been prevented.
In their final efforts in behalf
Of the sugar industry the Loulsl-
ana senators properly charged
the Democratic majority with bad
faith and with heartless disre-
gard for the welfare of a state
which has LOYALTY supported the
Democratic Party from the begin
ming. They also warned the
Democrats of the Senate that the |
people Of Louisiana feel keenly |
resentful at the treatment they |
have received and that there need |
be no surprise if hat resentment
is shown by action hurtful to the
Democratic Party.
Whatever relief the taxpayers
Of the country may receive from
the passage of the Democratic
tariff bill it is absolutely certain
that they will secure no benefit
1t all from free sugar. The do
nestle sugar industry will be des-
,royed and the prosperous colo

the different sites offered by the

cost Of construction which will
be put into circulation in
our midst, to say nothing of the
enrolment of from 500 to 1000
.pnpils making purchases at our
business houses, New iberia is
bound to profit from the school.
The tract selected consists of 300
arpents, 100 Of which is to be
purchased bv the State while
the other is to be donated by the |
citizens. The curriculum con-
sists of six hours work in the |

workshops with two hours at

Many. Of our best colored peo-
pie are already engaged raising

they will accomplish their aim.

FACTS IN MEXICAN TANGLE,

which have been conducted
through his personal representa-
tive John Lind. with the Huerta
Government in Mexico.
The lecislon to make a com
prehensive statement on the sit
lation TO Congress was reached
odav after the President had
lbout concluded that the ne
citations between Mr.. Lind and
Provisional President lluerta,
incc the exchange Of notes. had
'eveloped no new basis for dis
ussiOn.
With his message the president
will present the two notes, setting
forth the American suggestions
the Mexican Government and
he reply of Provisional Presi-
lent Huerta
It is the president s intention
O give Congress a comprehensive
larration of what has been at
empted i'm Mexico by Mr.. Lind.
Ie. will give also his conception
# the policy that should be pur-
ued by the United States toward
Mexico. The message Will be
made public simultaneously with
delivery to Congress.
The president s hope is that
he situation will disentangle it
elf. though he believes it will
AXE a little time to dispel GER
ain illusions possessed by the
iuerta Government as to the at
itude of the American people
and Congress. The president let
be known that the question was
,ot party one. and that Repub
lean senators had shown an adj
mirable spirit in his conferences
With them.
The president believes the de-
bate in Congress today will serve
% refute the contention of Pro
visionaI President Huerta that
the administration policy toward
Uexico is not supported by ali
rolitical parties.
incidentally it was learned that
since the presentation of the
Nuerta reply on Monday, which
has now been received in fun at
the State Department. nothing OF
significance has occurred in the
conferences between John Lind
and Senior Huerta. Mr.. Lind has
not abandoned hope, however, OF
C convincing Huerta of the angu
ment made in the first American
note. and there is no intention to
recede from the attitCde then
taken
