ARMY ENGINEERS OPPOSED
CONSTRUCTION OF JETT|ES

Geo H. Maxwell in Scientific American
You must not overlook the fact that
the War Department Engineers. who
now support the "Levees Only plan,
fought the plan for the Eads Jetties
just as bitterly as they are now fight
ing for the 'Levees Only" method of
food prevention.
My own personal investigations and
observations during the last year--for
| have been in New Orleans and this
country the greater part of the time
since January 1912-have convinced
me that the correspondent whose very
interesting communication is printed
in the same number of the Scientific
American as your editorial, does not
begin to state the rottenness which
prevails in the local Levee admins
tration in the Mississippi Valley. | be-
lieve if any rigid investigation were
ever undertaken, and it were real
/ investigation, that conditions of rot
btenness would be developed as bad ii
not worse than those which were un
earthed in connection with the land
frauds of the West, or by the prosecu
ton of the politicians in Pittsburgh
the politicians in San Francisco, or the
grating Police Department of the City
of New York
i | think this is one ofthe reasons
why so many of those who were affil
lated closely with the Leyee Boards
are SO bitterly and viciously opposed
to any change of the system.

MRS. W|CKu|FFE COMPELLED
TO SUE INSURANCE COMPANY
Florida Parishes:

Florida Parishes: -
Friends of Mrs. Robert c. Wickliffe
throughout the Sixth Congressional
District, are watching 18th much inter
est her litigation against an accident
insurance company, which carried a
$4,000 policy on the life of the late Con-
gressman Wickliffe, whose tragic death
more than year ago caused wide
spread sorrow throughout Louisiana.
The insurance company seeks to evade
payment of the policy on the ground
that cit had been intimated" that the
young Louisianian committed suicide,
yet at the same time offered to settle
with the widow on payment of half
the face value of the policy
Sentiment is with Mrs. Wickliffe,
not alone from the fact that she is the
widow of one of the brainiest young
fellows ever honored by the people of
this State, but also from the fact that
an insurance company that pledges its
obligations upon proof of death of a
policy holder should be held strictly
amenable to the law covering such
matters.

tons in an extravagant waste of pub
lie money.
The question of popular subscrip-
ton is one whereby the state would be
greatly accommodated, the subscriber
fully and legally protected, and the
credit of the state given the biggest
boost it could be given, in that every
subscriber would reaffirm and publicly
acknowledge his confidence in the hon
esty and good credit of his own state.
There are people in this parish, we
know hundreds of them, who could
without noticing it in the least sub
scribe for one, five, ten or one hundred
bonds, without being affected in the
least or even notice that they had
made the investment. The bonds bear
four per cent interest and are backed
by the great State of Louisiana, and
can be used as collateral in the event
that the holder would desire to borrow
money on them, or can be disposed of
at any time for face value should the
holder be compelled to dispose of
them.
We therefore endorse the position
of the st. Francisville True Democrat
call upon the people of the rich par
ish of Lafourche, and ask them if they
will not carefully consider the propo
sition. see if they can not afford to
take one 500 bond, or two. three, four
five, ten, or as many as they feel dis
posed to take Money thus investe;

SEVEN CORN COMMANDMENTS.

Prof. Perry G. Holden, lowa's great
corn expert, lays down the following
seven rules that should be followed
by all corn producers:
1.-Test every ear of corn intended
for seed by Smelling off a dozen kernels
and terminating them in box of dirt.
Harvest corn intended for seed
early and store it where it will dry out
before freezing weather comes.
3.-Grs.de the shelled seed corn SO
that grains of about the same size are
put into the planter boxes at the same
time
Aim prove the seed corn by select
ing so TO 100 of the best ears raised
each year and planting them to one
side of the patch for seed purposes
only.
SIS Seed corn should be selected
that S known to be adapted to your
local. .ty. Don't import any from any
grea distance, unless it is known i
will thrive.
6.-Grow no more than two crops o
cor n in succession upon the same land
| 1--Rotate corn crops with crops
which include clover, cowpeas, alfalfa
soy beans, velvet beans, or some othe
Ilegnme, every four or FIVE years.

Thibodaux Commercially journal:
The suggestion of a popular pur-
chase of the new issue of the Louisi-
ana State Bonds, advanced by our es-
teemed contemporary the st. Francis
vile True Democrat is indeed good
one, worthy of the journal and one
that should be commended by every
newspaper in the state, regardless OF
faction. 1t is known fact that money
is boarded away by number of peo-
pie who in default of first mortgages
will not trust their money to banks
this fact was. evidenced by the mum
dation that visited thfs section last
year, when people who had heretofore
not used banks, were driven from
their homes and in consequence saw
fit to take their money from socks and
other hiding places and deposit same
in banks.
We therefore at the outset heartily
commend and congratulate The True
Democrat for taking the stand that it
has taken, and also for sending mark
ed copies of its last issue to every pa
per in the state, advising the popular
subscription to the new issue of bonds.
Unless the bonds are placed something
must be done, and whatever 1t be II
will mean more expense to the state
and necessarily more taxes to the PEG
pie. The present administration is try.

impressions made by past administra

uNIRuThEuL PARENTS.

In training their children, many par
ents follow the path of least resist
ance. They want their children to be
good, orderly and courteous, yet they
will not exert themselves enough to
use patient and honest methods. AS
result, the children form all kinds OF
false conceptions about the most or
binary matters, and, finding themselves
deceived, lose confidence in those whom
they should feel able to trust above all
others
stop chewing gum says one moth
er.
Why" the child naturally asks.
Because it is made of horses hoofs.
"If you make ugly faces your face
will freeze that way" is the warning
of another parent.
Don't run into the street; il you do
the bogy man will get you"
Threats of this kind may for the mo
ment bring about the desired result:
but they are .untruthful and unfair to
the child. They foster ignorance and
cowardice, destroy self-reliance. and
nourish superstitions. The wise par
ent reasons with the child, gains it's
confidence, and in the end creates in
| It love of truth and justice.

INJUSTICE OF THE LABOR TAX ON
ROADS.

The Progressive Farmer recently ut
tered righteous protest against the
ancient but not time-honored plan-for
no length of time can honor such
vicious system-of confiscating a
weeks work from poor meen every
year for the upkeep of roads, whereas
the only correct plan is to have each
man pay only in proportion to what
he owns. 1t is an outrageous system
that takes whole weeks labor or
earnings annually from the poor man,
who perhaps owns little or nothing,
and who needs the proceeds Of his
weeks labor much more than does
some business man earning $50 to $500
in weeks time. If the poor man
earning 81 a day must give six days a
year to the roads, then the rich man
earning $25 day should give $3.50 to
the roads We are glad to find that
valiant good roads fighter, Editor H.
B. Warner, of Southern Good Roads,
speaking out On this subject as fol-
lows:
There is nothing more unjust than
the labor tax. How long will our peo-
pie submit to it? Any law which taxes
the poor man SO per year and the man
with property, who is able to pay, the
same, is absolutely unfair. There is
nothing right about it. Not far from
where live have in mind now man
who owns horses, buggies, and wagons
and big farms, who does not even pay
one cent towards the upkeep of the
roads, because he is more than 45
years old. The chances are that he
will continue to use the roads daily fol
thirty years yet Every tenant he has
on his farms, with the exception Of
two or three, are still subject to the
labor tax They must work six days
in the year on the roads He is worth
many thousands of dollars. His ten
ants. are comparatively poor men
Where is the justice of it?"

TOWNS AND THEIR NEWSPAPERS

There is no better way to judge of
the good sense and business policy of
business men than to examine closely
the columns of the local papers. If the
town is booming you'll find them talk
ing through the type; If the town is
dead or sleeping the local paper will
give you the cue.-Ripley Sentinel.
Now wouldn't it be too bad for
strangers to judge this town that way?
For how can its having such good
paper (as ours) be accounted for?
