To Drain La Fourche Basin.
Monroe, La, Jan. e, 1913.

Monroe, La, Jan. e, 1918.
News Editor:-At a recent
meeting Of the Monroe Chamber
of Commerce, together with
several interested parties, it was
unanimously decided to hold a
convention in this city, Wednes-
day, February 10, for the pur-
pose of discussing plans, etc.,
relative to draining the famous
La Fourche basin.
Arrangements have already
been made to secure the attend
ance of Major J. M. Kerr, chief
engineer, Board Of State En-
gineers, our local engineers and
the engineering departments of
the various railroads interested
in this territory.
Mr.. B. F. Bush, President Mis-
souri, Pacific System, together
with many other prominent rail-
way officials have signifed their
intention to be on hand; also the
police juries of Ouachita, Rich
land, Morehouse and Caldwell
parishes will be on hand ready
and willing to cooperate in the
fullest measure.
When we take into considera-
ton the vast Importance of this
gigantic undertaking. that of
lreclaiming q large area, approx
mately some 100000 acres Of
rich, fertile, agricultural lands,
now practically worthless. by
reason of the overflow of water
one can hardly grasp the signi-
ficance of the tremendous worth
to the Monroe District and the
State at large, from an agricul-
tural standpoint.
From present indications, it
can only be predicted that great
good will result from the efforts
being put forth by the broad
minded men of this section whose
only compensation will be the
knowledge that it was their
pleasure to lend a helping hand
and ready purse in the reclama-
ton OF a vast area OF lands that
that will be the means Of helping
a fellowman and advancing the
industrial and agricultural growth
Of North Louisiana at large,

The Year 1913.

We are now in a Democratic
atmosphere. With the new year
there comes a change of control
in the nation. Nineteen hun
dred thirteen opens a new era in
American government. We shall
soon witness the installation OF
the Democracy in the legislative
and executive offices of the ma
ton, just as Democratic officials
are now installed in most of the
important states of the Union.
And above all that, we are to
have the government of the
United States in accord with the
Democratic policies of justice,
equality and of progress.
Welcome 1918!
The conclusion of Governor
Wilson's Bermuda vacation and
his retiremedt from the govern
orship of New Jersey turns him
over to the nation. His days OF
rest and recreation are over, and
public attention is turning rapid
ly to him for the initiatory moves
of the Incoming administration.
Having determined upon an ex-
traordinary session of Congress,
Governor Wilson will have to de-
termine the program of that
session. We do not anticipate
that the party leaders will be in
c'ined to make it a long one, nor
c)ngest it with measures of mi
npr Importance. 1t is a session
FIR the solution of questions of
n tional Importance, preferably
ole question the tariff. If it
w, IRE left to the Democratic
III uses to say to what extent the
t eff should be considered at this
S 'sion, whether two or three
important schedules should be
Z lnged, or whether the revision
should be extensive, the answer
would be to revise it from A to
4 and then let it stand for four
y ars. 1t is not probable that the
lntry, recognizing its chang
i : conditions, would demand
another revision Of any schedule
at any earlier date than four
y ars hence.
The great problem for the first
Sc ,sion of the Democratic Con-
s less is the tariff. 1t is a great,
problem because the country has
come to look upon the tariff as
the determining quality for good
o. bad business, and it is the
privileged corporations which
have educated the people up to
that belief. The government,
under it's constitutional right,
levies tariff for the purpose of
raising revenue with which to
conduct the government. Con-
gress is supposed to find out how
much money is needed to carry
on the Government and to impose
a tariff tax accordingly. In the
earlier DAYS of the country that
policy was carried on, but finally
such infant industries as the
Steel Trust and the Sugar Trust,
the Wool Trust and the Cotton
Trust found great commercial
advantage in hosting the tariff
on those commodies which they
manufactured in order to shut
out competition. Great business
institutions have thus become in
volved in the congressional con-
sideration of this question, and,
while there should be no interde-
pendence between business and
the tariff the fact remains that
the latter cannot now be touched
without affecting the former.
The new Congress will have to
move with caution. There need
be no radical reductions except
on commodities known as the
necessities of life. and on these
there need be no tariff tax. That

HAVE NEW IDEA
Burned Dinner More Effectiva
Than Burned Villa.
Special ty United Pres9 Wire.

London, April 25.--"A burned din
ner has far more value for convin-
cling that something is wrong than
merely burned villa" says letter
from Frau Duerrin, prominent Ger
man suffragette from Murenburg, ad-
vising the English militants to adopt
the household boycott" which was
made public today by the Woman's
Social and Political Union.
"The household boycott means e.
fusal by the women to perform
household duties" Frau Duerrin ex-
planned. "You English women
should drop milttancy and adopt this
plan. 1t would be far more effective.
l would even neglect the children
and make the men dress them them
selves. By household boycott you
would enforce on the men that divi-
sion of labor between the sexes which
we hear so much about. Men tell us
that women should not NEEDLE in
politics because politics are mems af-
fairs and women's affairs Is in the
home. Yet every husband, while
keeping his wife out of politics med
dies in home affairs, and thereby re-
jects his own principles"
