MORE MONEY TO BUILD HIGH
lEvEES.

Dispatches from Washington
tell US that the appropriation bill
now pending in Congress pro-
vides sufficient money to raise
the levees high enough to hold
any volume OF water that has
come down the river. And thus
we seem destined to coquet with
destruction and death as long as
the money holds out. What is
needed is some plan that will re.
duoe the volume Of water that
comes down and empty out what
does reach here more rapidly than
has been possible under the all.
Ieves system. 1t is not higher
levees but lower levels that are
required. Country Review.

ARE WE GOING TO CONTROL the
BOIL WEEWl.
Tallulah. La, July >, 1913.

Tallulah, La, July >, 1913.
The past month of dry wealth
er, making it ideal for hand
picking boil weevils, has no
doubt aided u great deal in the
fight now being waged by the
Delta planters. However, rainy
weather has set in at u time when
the greatest benefit will be deri-
we'd by the immature weevils
of the first generation.
From now IN il the 10th Of this
month few if any adult weevils
can be found in the fields-it
being a period between the death
of the over wintered weevils and
the emergence of the first gener-
alton. This scarcity of weevils
may lead some planters to imag-
inc that this years infestation
has been stamped out. However,
the planters are facing a very
grave situation for there are
numbers of puncturel squares in
the fields which will produce
weevils under such weather con-
ditiOns as We are now experien-
cling.
Our advice is to get these few
punctured squares out of the
fields. The fight on the weevil
is only half finished and if we are
to control them atall, it must he
done during the next ten days.
To wait until the first generation
emerges, which will occur about
the 10th to 10th of this month
means that the cost of trying to
control the weevil will be far in
excess of the good accomplished
1t is urged that every planter
pick the plants during the next
ten days. If the fields can he
gone over two or three times care
fully a profitable crop is assured
but delay or negligence i'm this
matter means ruin, especially
should the month of July be Il W, I
month.

BREAKING up WHITE SLAVERY.



The recent convictions OF Blanc
and FlaspOller for violations OF
the white slave act serve to call
attention to the unusual efficiency
with which the government. the
local authorities and grand and
petit juries are cooperating to
make New Orleans an inhospit.
able city for the SLAYER. In some
of the arrests made here it has
been shown there was no actual
breach of the law; but in every
case where the evidence was clear
the juries have promptly found
virdicts Of guilty.
The Blanc and Flaspoller cases
presented different phases Of what
Congress has defined to be white
slavery. In the former the nc.
accused. a stranger. brought un-
fortunate women here for immor-
Al purposes In the latter, the
accused, a local lad scarcely out
of his teens. lured a schoolgirl
from home and took her out Of the
State. When the case came ,o
trial it. was discovered that the
youthful pair had ma .ried and
the child. bride retracted all abe
had said in her original complaint I;
but the jury very properly refused
to be party to this compromising
II . felony and returned q YER.
let Of guilty.
These cases, with the convi, I.
tions preceding them. ought to
= ave q wholesome moral effect.
Some months ago, an agent OF
the Department OF Justice, speak
ing evidently without knowledge I,
siassed New Orleans az one Of
the two most fragrant violators OF
the Mann law among American
cities. No evidence whatever
was adduced to sustain the
charge; but even il it had been
only partially true the result ts that
have obtained in the proseo utionz
OF the past few months will 60 a
long way toward impreasihg or
the slavers the danger OF break
ing the law in tins State.
The fact that all these cases
have been handled In the Fedora
court must be accepted as reflect
ing any lack OF energy on the
part OF the State and city authori
tiles. The reserve 10 true Under
the direction Of the city commits
sion the Police Department j.
lending its assistance TO the Fed
sral authorities in every possible
way in the ferreting out and ap'
pretending of the slavers. ant
between tn, two arms of the gov
eminent a general clean up is il

This excellent work ought to e
on. The moral sense OF the whole
country has been aroused in ia.
vor Of the unrelenting enforce.
ment Of the Mann law and the
tremendous national sensation
created by the Caminetti. Digg,
incident gave President Wilson
an opportunity to show how
heartily he Isl in favor OF promp
and aggressive prosecution by
the government Ut those who
trsnsgress it.
It is to the credit OF New Or
