The Great War in Europe.

The news from the warning ma
tons of Europe this week seems
to be generally in favor of the
allies. The French and English
troops have been engaged for 20
days in a battle line 140 miles in
length with the opposing Ger
mans, with two million men in a
death grip, while fully as great a
battle has been raging along the
Russian, Austrian and Prussian
frontiers. The result in killed
and wounded on all sides is enor-
nous. 1t is estimated that fully
80, 900 men have been killed du-
ring the past week, and five or
six times that many wounded.

has gone up and the seed is now
bringing from SIS to $l9 per ton,
according to locality.
Recently cotton seed from the
penal farms of Mississippi is said
to have brought SIS plus. Since
no commission was paid on this
seed to the middleman, the price
is quoted as being even more lu-
crative to the seller than the fig
ures would indicate. The Times
is informed that the practice has
been for the gins to purchase the
cotton seed for the mills, charg-
ing commission therefor, and
the planters have to pay this
charge.
Attorney General Pleasant
would not state what his inves-
tigation has developed thus far,
nor how far the inquiry has pro-
ceeded toward completion. Nor
would he state the remedy he
proposes to apply if the existence
of a cotton seed mill combination
or agreement is disclosed.
Just simply say, please, he
said, that the inquiry is on foot,
will be vigorously prosecuted,
and all of the available facts and
evidences gathered. That is ali

Since the adjournment of the
General Assembly of the State
of Louisiana in July of the pres
ent year, there have been through
the press and by individuals the
criticisms that the legislature has
done nothing during it's sitting
of sixty days.
The Caucasian is one of the
press which has mildly suggest
ed that the General Assembly
did little or nothing. and there
fore, in the face of fact incon-
trovertible, it must reveal its re-
Election and concede that the
General Assembly did "a whole
lot of things
The proof of this deli e ate as
sertion is in a book bounu in calf,
of TAO pages, 5"x9" in size, with
As pages of index and II pages
of tables.
In this book of TAO pages are
the laws over which the legal
profession may wrangle on con-
stitutional and technical points.
As an illustration of the benev-
olent assimilation of Pros and
Ants, we may point with pride"
to the so-called near-beer bill
drafted by Attorney Sullivan of
New Orleans, in which it is speci-
fed, or words to that effect, that
the only near-beer which is legal
~ salable in Louisiana is the
beer formulated in New Orleans.

session of the General Assembly

price? Why not produce what
there is a demand for? Any wise
business man will do that. Lou

must make the best use of them

er you go the shrinkage of values

nous, but Louisiana has no
shrinkage, her land is held so
cheap that she can advance its
price and yet be fair. So our as
sets are better and greater than
any other part of the country.
All we need is to wake up and
do just what common sense would
dictate; take advantage of what
we have. To grumble, worry

Who is the Guilt?

Did you read how that Chicago
woman of "a, mother of IL chill
dren, after her 175th arrest, ex-
planned why the pledge which
she took when in Jail never to
drink again always broke down
the minute she got out?
Il had no place to go. No
place but the back door of a sa-
loon. That's always open.
Poor woman! She had started
to drink because a nip of whisky
made her forget the biting pow
erty of her cherries home.
Weak, you say? Yes! and, of
course, frightfully short-sighted,
for the drugged respite only
made a bad situation worse.
But where was society all this
time; what was it doing to
strengthen her weakness and
help to guard her against her.
self?
No place to go but the back
door of the saloon"
Not very good case for So
ciety, that!
And certainly not the best en-
vironment for the rearing of IL
children.
How futile to keep on thrust
ing such an unfortunate behind
prison bars, because she was
poor and wretched and weak and
friendless.
Would they have jailed her
that way had she been rich?

The attention of our readers is d.

ern Cotton Association on our first page,
demanding that the planting of cotton
for 1915 be prohibited by law. The
statement is made that the southern
people can be benefited billion and a
quarter of dollars simply by planting
no cotton next year. Read up on the
proposition, and We believe every man
will be convinced that the plan is SIM

the plan into effect.

night for New Orleans, Attorney

Louisiana.

agreement exists between the

and division of territory. l am
laying to ascertain if this charge
is true and have called upon sew
eral district attorneys and grand
juries to assist me in getting at
the facts"
The charges of the existence
of a cotton seed mill trust that
reached my office" said Colonel
Pleasant, were sufficiently nu-
merous and substantial for me
to begin a systematic investiga-
ton to determine their truth or
falsity. For ten days the inves-
tigation has been under way. 1t
has not yet been completed, but
it will be. / intend to do every
thing in my power to learn if the
law has been violated and to take

is claimed, price und territory,

The sections most complained
OF are that portion of the State
lying between Monroe and Match
ez, Miss, and the Natchitoches
territory. The cotton planters
protest bitterly against the al
legged agreement which is said
to restrict price. l think the
planters are entitled to a fair
compensation for their cotton
seed based on the market value
OF cotton seed products, and if
there is any combination in vio-

the planter, | am going to do my

investigation cotton seed was
being purchased by the mills for
