Honorable Bert H. Miller, one
of the democratic candidates for
congress, is now making a speak
ing tour of the north part of the
state in the interests of his can
didacy. He is western born and
reared. He is thirty-eight years
of age, and has lived in the Gem
State for thirty years. His early
boyhood days we're spent on the
farm, in agricultural pursuits,
and he possesses an unusual and
practical knowledge of farm
work, stock raising, and irriga-
ton.
Mr.. Miller, better known as
Bert, was educated in the COM
mon schools of this state, where
he showed marked ability as a
leader among his companions
After many years of hard manual
labor on the farm where twelve
hours a day was only an ordinary
days work, he became restless
and dissatisfied, and, responding
TO an impulse to climb still Eigh-
er in the intellectual world, M
fitted himself for a professional
career by studying law at thu
Cumberland University, where tn
law students saw in him a capable
leader, and where he graduate,
with the highest honors.

To Boost Thibodaux Carnival.

Secretary R. S. Vickers, of the
| Chamber of Commerce, last week ad-
dressed a letter to Guy J. Knobloch,
manager of the Thibodaux Chamber
of Commerce, from which the follow
ing paragraphs are quoted:
This Chamber of Commerce de-
sires to pledge to your city it's cor
| dial cooperation and that of the
citizens of Donaldsonville to make
your next years carnival still
greater success than the last one.
We took you more than one hum
dred representative citizens on Mar
di Gras day, and we would have
taken many more had not the Wea-
ther been SO unfavorable. But it
is our intention to work up suffi-
cient interest before next year, by
showing the people the mutual adj
vantages Of helping to build up a
carnival near at home and in the
Bayou Lafourche section, to be able
to send you more than five hundred
to your next celebration.
If you will permit me, I should
like to suggest that your Carnival
Club admit members from Donaldson
vile, Napoleonville and all points on
the bayou in order to make it strong
enough to hold a three-day affair
Sunday, Monday and Tuesday-and
thereby give your city an opportu-
nifty to reap more direct material
benefit from the celebration. Should
the suggestion be favorably consider
ed, you would receive active cooper
alton and assistance in securing
members from here
At special meeting of the Thibo-
daux Carnival Club Monday night.
Mr.. Vickers' letter was brought up
for consideration, and it was de-
cided that the parish of Ascension be
included in the territory from which
membership int the organization will
be accepted. This privilege had
been previously extended to citizens
OF Lafourche. Assumption and Terre-
bonnie parishes. The matter of
chartering the association was re-
ferred. to a special committee.

Drainage District Planned.

A meeting of citizens of the Smoke
Bend community was held Monday
night at E. P. Melancon's store to
discuss the organization Of a drain
age district in that section. It is
proposed either to dig a canal to
connect with the large ditch exca-
waited in the rear of Port Barrow a
few years ago, and which empties
into Bayou Lafourche; or, proceeding
in the opposite direction, to clean
out the old drainage canal construct
ed some fifteen or more years ago
which discharges into what is known
as Bayou Mccall, traversing the Sou
venir and Evan Hall plantations. At
ter a general discussion of the mat
ter, a committee was appointed to
make an Investigation into these
two projects with the view of de-
termining which is the more feasible
Of accomplishment, and to confer
with the Lemann and Mccall plant
ing interests and ascertain whether
they will cooperate in the move
ment. When this committee is ready
to report another meeting will be
held to go further into the matter.

More Good Work by civic League.

The ladies of the Civic League
have turned their attention to beau
tifying Courthouse Square, flower
gardens having been laid out this
week on both sides OF the main en-
trance to the courthouse under the
direction of Mesdames Walter Lem
ann and r. N Sims, representing the
progressive woman's organization.
Daisies, verbenas and other bright
hued flowers have been planted in
these plots, and when they begin to
put forth their fragrant blossoms the
warm glow of color against the dark
background of the temple of justice
will create a very pretty effect, in
deed, and lend an esthetic touch to
the hitherto unadorned surroundings
that can not fail to be extremely
pleasing and attractive. Donaldson
vile should certainly feel proud of
it's enterprising Civic League, and
the splendid efforts of these energetic
and public-spirited ladies to beautify
the city and make it more desir-
able place to live in should have the
unanimous endorsement and cordial
cooperation of every good citizen of
the community.

were formulated for holding a big
mass-meeting in this city on Sunday,
April 10, to devise ways and means
for attracting settlers and homeseek-
ers to this section Of the state To
accomplish this object, it is proposed
to form an organization composed
OF the tier of river parishes from
Pointe Coupee to Jefferson, and the
parishes of Assumption, Lafourche
and Terrebonne, the purpose of which
will be TO thoroughly advertise the
marvellous resources and unsurpassed
natural advantages of the fertile al
luvial district of Louisiana, and to
carry on a vigorous campaign for
colonizing the thousands Of acres of
productive lands in this territory
with progressive, industrious white
farmers from other sections Of the
United States and from foreign coun-
tries. Invitations to attend the
meeting and deliver addresses will
be extended to Governor Hall, DIR.

THE VICTIMIzED CONSUMER.

| The significant announcement ap
peared in the newspapers a few
days ago that there is not likely to
be any reduction i'll the price of SUI
gar to the consumers of the United
States as a result of the lowering OF
the tariff on imports.
This is just what might have been
expected, and portends verifica
ton of the contention of the oppo.
nents of the tariff cut that such leg.
islation threatened the existence OF
the domestic sugar industry without
assuring any compensatory benefit
to the consumers of the product.
It has been repeatedly pointed
out that sugar is almost the sole
article of general household consump.
ton that has not advanced in price,
and hence cannot be charged with
any share in the increased cost of
living.
1t is also the best revenue -produc-
ing article in the dutiable list, bring
ing the government a larger return at
smaller expense of collection than
anything upon which a tariff tax is
levied; and latest reports from Wash
ington indicate that the loss of this
revenue may seriously embarrass the
administration
Thus it appears that a valuable
home industry has been given a
blow by which it must be severely
crippled if not entirely wiped out;
that the public treasury has been
deprived of a considerable income
that was essential to keep pace with
the constantly increasing expense
of government, and that the consul
mers of the country, in whose behalf
this fallacious policy has ostensib1y
been pursued, are not to receive a
particle Of benefit tc set against
these calamitous results.
