POLITICS *XH
AY JANIS B. NEVIN KY

Law. Of which everybody who isn't u
fisherman approves heartily. was
raised on Sunday. The Legislature
enacting Il evidently thought there
was no great harm, perhaps in pass
ing 80 good a law on 50 good day.
Officially. to be sure, said law was
passed on Saturday-but, AS matter
of fact, il was passed at 4 O'Clock
Sunday morning, long after the hour
of legally required adjournment had
arrived and departed. and to meet
which unseemly emergency the SEN
ate clock had been solemnly set back
eight or ten hours.
Il doesn't matter so much who was
President Of that Senate, or exactly
when said Senate sat the facts in re
the passing Of the anti fishing on
Sunday bill are right!
Senator r. T. DuBose, OF the Thir-
tieth District, has numbered his
guns against the Ubiquitous Georgia
tax system" in a speech at Wa
kinsvile which rather "bristles. ds
they say about those sorts of things.
Sad ubiquitous" system is none 9TH
er than the present tax equalization
law
1t has been very well understood
that there would be some opposition
registered against the law. but ii was
not very well understood, 1t seems,
that Senator DuBose was to head II
ana begin II. He is an eloquent man,
and well qualified to lead the opposi-
ton hosts.
Those responsible for the law. how
ever. seem in no wise disturbed by
the Senator's attitude. They appar-
emily are entirely satisfied that the
law will be approved by the people of
Georgia generally.
Denied the privilege of making
speeches on the streets of Macon, two
itinerant Socialists, supported by the
local organization of % members,
have put the City Council of Macon
on notice that they will this week
appeal to the Superior Court for an
injunction against the Mayor and the
police department.
The Socialists are especially indig-
nant because they were told by Act
ing Mayor ]. B. Riley that he would
allow Theodore Roosevelt to speak on
the streets, but would not grant them
the same permission"
They thought that was adding in
suit to injury,
That it is his present intention to
retire from politics and to spend the
remainder of his life as a private
citizen, is the statement Judge j. l..
Sweat, State Senator from the Fifth
District, has issued to a committee
of his friends who asked him re-
Gently to become a candidate for
judge of the Waycross circuit.
Senator Sweat has received resolu-
tons of thanks from the Trades and
Labor Assembly of Waycross for his
work in the present Senate, and spe-
Cial thanks have been extended him
for his efforts in behalf of the mea-
sures generally approved by labor.
Editor Leroy Hirshburg. of the
Marion County Patriot, mentioned
prominently as a candidate for Con-
gross from the Fourth, is out in an
article in The Patriot this week, sup
porting woman suffrage, eugenic
marriages and taxation of church
property.
That, without any more trimmings
or frills. will impress most folks as
being some little platform.

WHAT THE FARMERS WILL Do.

While many other localities are preach
ing to the farmers that they must curtail
their cotton acreage and diversity more the
farmers here are planning for a thorough ad-
justment of the one crop system; they are
preparing to plant more foodstuffs, because
they know that Europeans will be more
anxious to fill their stomachs than wear new
and stylish clothes, after this terrible war.
The farmers here raised this year the
largest crop of cotton since the advent of
the boil weevils, and as much as they were
determined to place a bumper crop on the
market this fall, SO much the more deter
mined will they be to raise more hay, pota-
toes, vegetables and foodstuffs of all kind
for the hungry European to devour next
year.
St. Landry has heard so much of diver
sification that its farmers are inclined to try
It on a large scale and if the dope is correct
there will be more farm money in the banks
d Opelousas than ever before, because King
will be deserted and Investigation
will henceforth be the motto of every pro-
gresslve farmer in this section.

DON'T FAIL TO VOTE.

On next Tuesday the voters of Louisiana
are called upon to express their opinion on
seventeen constitutional amendments, as
well as candidates for various state and
United States officers. There will be no ex-
cuse for St. Landry not to turn out a repre-
sentative vote, as the work on the farm is
practically at a ~standstill, in so far as crop
harvesting is concerned and business is by
no means too rushing to prevent the people
of the towns to go to the polls.
Two years ago, when several amend
ments were submitted to the voters of Lou
isiana. there was not even a representative
vote cast. As the amendments to be voted
upon next Tuesdry are of some Importance
and since two Democratic nominees have
opposition the voters of old St. Landry should
strain a point to go to the polls and express
their opinions.

Louisiana Press Opinion.

The movement to cut mp the large plan
tations into small farms will mean much to
the prosperity of Alexandria. This move
ment has received added impetus in the past
few days, when one of the largest and most
fertile of the Bayou Robert plantations, the
Richland place, has been placed on the mar
ket and several small tracts sold to farmers.

places are cut up and sold into small farms
and settled by thrifty farmers, the better it
will be for Alexandria and the entire coun-
try. Alexandra Town Talk.

UNIQUE PERFORMANCE.

The Clarion is not in the habit of throw
ing bouquets to Republicans, except when
there is a brick, or a powerful odoriferous
egg attached to the stem, at the same time
it is not so narrow-minded but what it nee
ognizes merit and services we'll performed,
especially when a home boy, raised close to
the St. Landry line, is the performer; these
reflections have arisen from a consideration
Of the services of J. R. Domengeau, post
master of Lafayette, who is now browsing
around the new postoffice in Lafayette,
watching every stone being put in place
and seeing that the Government contractors
are putting in a full days work.
Postmaster Domengeau made a unique
postoffice exhibit at the parish fair of La
fayette, which so far as our knowledge goes
is not only the first of its kind in the state
but in the South. This evoked the most
hearty praise from C. B. Anderson, post
office inspector in charge, and a compliment
from G.. A. Bloebaum, the chief clerk of the
Department that Mr.. Domengeau was one
of the best postmaster, in Louisiana.
This shows that there are some govern
ment officials who do not confine their activ-
tiles to the actual perfunctory performance
of their routine duties, but with ~construc-
tive talent, broaden out in the general i'm
provement of the service.
Mr.. Domengeau is a straight laced high
protectionist, with the courage Of his con-
and has not sneaked into the Re-
publican fold under the %sheepskin of Bull
mooseism, like so many of our deluded
the sugar planters are trying to do.

HOW CALIFORNIA TREATS HER
BOY AGRICULTURISTS.

The winners Of prizes of the members
OF the California high school agricultural
club m their tra%nscontinental tour will
reach Lafayette at 1910 Sunday evening,
Nov. 9Th, where they will be hosts of the
Southwest Louisiana Development Bureau.
w. {. Chevis, manager of the bureau, has
arranged q splendid program for the enter
talnment of the young agriculturists from
the West, such as luncheons and automo-
bile rides to important points in Southwest
Louisiana.
This is the first tour of its kind in the
United States. Various states, including
Louisiana, have sent a single boy to Wash
ington, D. c., but California is the first to
send a carload of prize winners, with the
idea OF studying agricultural conditions over
eight thousand miles Of territory including
stops In tWenty-one cities and twenty-four
states; they will visit twelve of the most
types OF farms in America.
II all our high schools in Louisiana were
organized on the same basis and a carload
OF prize winners sent out on this post grad
late course to study, it would rebound
greatly to the agricultural interests of the
state and repay the outlay a hundred fold.
Manager Chevis is to be congratulated
n bringing this object to Southwest Lou
and all those interested should go to
lafayette on that day to help give the boys
real rousing Southern welcome, for they
re the true heroes of our country The
leroes of the ploW."

POINTED

The tax collectors office is in dire need
OF money and the only manner in which it
can be relieved is for you to go and plunk
down your dollar for your poll tax. Pay it
While you can and while you have the time.
because, if you don't fulfill this requirement
you will be dlsfranchised and will be unable
to vote for your choice for governor in 1916.
This talk of getting fractional differences
brldged in Mexico is about to get on our
nerves. We would not be sorry to wake up
one bright sunny morning to find that those
w%ar-loving greazers have all been effaced
from this globe. Wouldn't the United
feel grateful to the good Lord above, though,
if such a thing would come to pass!
We pity those politicians who have al
ready announced for offices if they have to
start campaigning. During hard times, if
are treating the crowd, theytWill soon
find themselves broke, because many there
will be who will willingly rest on the poll
lcian's wings.
How relieved we will feel since Con
gress has adjourned! We were beginning
10 think that our energetic representatives
would never show their smiles back here be-
ore election time IN 1916. Thanks, we're
satisfied for the moment.

INVEST MONEY

Ih citizens Of Opelousas and surround
ing country will be called upon within the
next few days to subscribe to a portion of
the capital stock of the Opelousas creamery.
his company is not organized for personal
agrandlzement or for the benefit of a few
moneyed people; the creamery will be erect
ca Tor Opelousas and for the farmers of ST..
Landry, the company will be a cooperative
one and that is the reason why the Clarion is
supporting this proposition so heartily.
If we had the least doubt as to the sim
cerity of those most interested in the organi-
cation OF a creamery company we would not
hesitate one minute in telling our readers
that, but we feel that Opelousas needs this
enterprise; that it will not be a cold business
proposition, but a company in which practi-
cally every farmer in this parish will have a
hand in it: it will be governed for the sole
purpose of helping the farmers dispose of
their milk and cream at highest possible
market price, at the same time creating a
handsome payroll for Opelousas- that is the
reason the citizens of Opelousas are so vital
" interested in this project-frst to help
the farmer make more money and second to
place a larger amount of money in ~circula-
ton in this city. The enterprise therefore
will be a mutual affair, as beneficial to one
as to the other and it is to the interest of
the farmers to take an active interest in the
organization by taking over a large portion
of the capital stock.
When we will begin erecting enterprises
3f our own Northern capitalists will readily
zee the advantages Opelousas have over
,ther Louisiana cities as a factory center
md will no doubt begin investing here.
Unless we do something to help ourselves
