THE DEMOCRATIC
 PLATFORM
Points to RecOrd of Achieve
 ment in Nation and State That Must Win Even the Ad-
 nliration of the Enemy.

The platform adopted by the Demo cratic conventions follows:
 The Democrat1c party of Connecti- cut, in state convention assembled. re- afhrIns it's allegiance to the tfrne-hon- ored principles of Democracy and heartily endorses the Democratic ad- 1ninlstration of national affairs under the able leadership of woodrow Will son and the administration of our Hous and able guidance of Governor Simeon E. Baldwin.
 Events have yindfcated the peace fu1s yet firm and statesman1ike foreigu policy of the present Democratic ad- ninistratfon of our national affairs and effectively si1enced its most rabad critics. With a patience, courage and ability never surpassed in the history of American diplomacy, the present Democratic administration through hout most trying ordeal has upheld our national honor without involving our country in foreign complications and has earned the lasting gratitude of place them in fair way to enjoy that freedom yet unknown to the Mexican people.
 The record of the Democratic party in Congress has been one of the prornG ises redeemed.

A new CURE FOR
A ROOF LEAK

In recent visit of representative
of this paper to the plant Of the Ber.
trand Lumber Co. IL was very appar
ant that the business Of the firm was
rapidly growing Notwithstanding ali
the recent talk Of hard times. The re.
cent extension of the Office building
gave the opportunity Of greatly ~
creasing the stock Of builders supplies
and materials till today almost every
possible need Of builder. from the
foundation TO the cone Of c0ntem-
plated building can be supplied from
stock on hand. It 10 very gratifying
to note such development and exten.
sion.
Among the new things to which our
attention was called, and of especial
interest to those who have studied the
problems Of a leak Ia the roof, was q
new compound elastic gum, bi-pro-
duct of tar. It Is very adhesive and
tough. but never hardens. II 10 claim
ed to have wonderful resisting powers
against both sun and rain, ever re-
naming elastic. II will tenaciously
cling TO wood. metal or masonry. II
will cure the leak Of defective fash
ing or nail-hole In shingle or me-
tai roof. Il may be applied by any
without skill-and needs nc
heating when used. Wherever used
1t wins praise and makes friends. Il

ed by the needs Of the patron. While
a new thing, yet Mr.. Bertrand hat
made some tests with II which f,rtify
the claim of durability.

SOUTHWESTERN
REFLECTIONS,

There is no profit In doing any
thing IN q half hearts way, but IL
ia positively destructible when ap-
pied to farming.
The old law professor will tell
with solemn face that "the law ia a
jealous MISTRESS, and that no
man can succeed who enters 1t
with divided affections.
It isn't a circumstance as com.
pared with farming, which EN-.
braces many sciences and calls
into requisition the broadcast
and most comprehensive knowl
edge. For instance, on four
farms ont Of every five in Soulh-
west Louisiana the corn crop will
be fifty per cent shorter than il
ought to be for two reasons:--lack
Of proper fertilization, and too
deep cultivation Of the growing
crop.
In many fields the corn Ia
s.flred" half way up the stalk, be-
cause In laying 1t by it was plow
ed too deep, the roots were broken
and the plant was starved.
There is no excuse for either of
these transgressions. 1t doesn't
cost q cent more to cultivate so as
to benefit the growing Of crop In.
stead OF iDjuring II; while fertliz
er will pay two hundred per cent
on the investment in six months
time--aDd often more than that.
Then there's the breeding OF
cattle. There can be no balanced
farming without cattle, either for
dalrying or for butcher stock, as
ones tasrics may be. Dalrymple
and Wight told you about these
things, and the resources of the
State and United States Govern
ments are at your command If you
are really interested.
Cattle breediDg-if yon breed

and endurance-compels diversifi

feeding cattle, improve the soil;

last year, with the present harvest
prospects most encouraging.
Out at the Arnaudville section,

LETTERS TO EDITOR
RICH AND POOR

Editor Day Book-It doesn't look
as though we were ever going to
have anything anywhere near like
absolute justice.
If Miss Mckinney were a rich girl
and the man she is trying to prose-
cute a poor man almost everybody
would believe her. Even the poorest
Of the poor would say the man was
brute and quite guilty and should
be punished to the full extent Of the
law.
Miss Mckinney does not happen to
be a rich girl, but Mr.. Weigle hap
pens to be a rich man, and, there
fore, Miss Mckinney cannot possibly
tell the truth, according to the judg-
ment of the people in general, al
though she is more apt to tell the
truth than any of the rest of them.
Whenever poor girl makes a
complaint against rich man almost
everybody says she is looking for no
toriety or his money. But it isn't
so when a rich girl makes a COM
plant against poor man. The poor
man is sure to get hundred dollar
fine before the poor fellow has a
chance to explain or defend himself.
That kind of rotten dealing is here
and is sure to stay; and hardly be-
lieve woman's suffrage or anything is
going to alter it in the least. ...
The poor man and the poor girl
hasn't the ghost of show when it
ooT,ooc IN roonixino o. rooI iI1afina Of tho
hands of the rich, when it's the rich
they are fighting against.
The average person takes one
glance at the poor man and then an
other at the rich person who has
made a complaint and then the jig's
all up with the fellow who has no
money; and, of course, no friends.
You can't have friends unless you
have money. ..-
