Louisiana Press Opinion.

Monroe News-Star: When the boil
weevil invaded the cotton fields Of North
Louisiana there was much Wailing and lam
entations. The 'Glooms" captured almost
every cotton planter in this section, and
General Calamity" abroad, master of the
situation, for North Louisiana was a one
crop country. and that me crop was cotton.
The pesky little weevils marshalled their
forces and devastated the fields, playing
havoc with the bright prospects for a crop
that year. There were many who foolishly
believed that starvation stared them in the
face. They had been planting cotton for
generations. Very few of them produced
enough corn to feed the stock for six
months. These cotton planters. prepared to
raise cotton on their fertile lands, and pur-
chase corn, oats, and meat in some far away
western city, along with all other supplies.
AS for truck and garden sass practically
none was produced, the farmers either do
ing without or sending to the nearest mar
ket for supplies.

SOCIAL CENTERS.

The crying need of rural Louisiana is
social centers where our young people can
be entertained, amused and instructed IN
der the direction of cultured, clean and COM
petent leadership, where aesthetic surround
ings stir the love for the beautiful; where
art changes the atmosphere with inspira-
tion and power, and innocent amusements
instruct and brighten their lives.
To hold our young people on the farm
we must make farm life more attractive, as
we'll as the business of farming more re-
numerative. The school should be the So
cial unit, properly equipped for nourishing
and building character, so that the lives of
people can properly function around it
and become supplied with the necessary
elements Of human thought and activity.

FOR SHERIFF
WEAR COTTON DRESS.

Not only the poor, but also the wealthy
girls and mothers are being urged through
out the United States don cotton goods this
season. Strong %endeavors are being made
to establish the cotton dress made as the
most fashionable Of the day. In this man
ner the financial distress now prevalent
throughout the cotton states, might greatly
be reduced.
In New Orleans and other large South
ern cities the society leaders are emulating
the noble example set by no more distin-
guished a society favorite than Miss Gene
We've Clark, daughter of the speaker of the
house Of representatives, and it is expected
that the movement will spread throughout
the United States and will become very popu-
lar. In that event thousands of bales of
cotton, which would go to add to the surplus
production, would be consumed right at
home

the business interests, if he were advanced
a reasonable sum of money to plant and cul-
tivate these various crops it would not be
many days before the farmers in our par
ish would be raising enough corn, rice,
syrup, potatoes, hay and vegetables of all
kinds to supply their wv demand and then
help feed those hungry Yankees who are
compelled to raise their eatables during a
very limited space Of time.
The slogan Of every progressive farmer
should be PLANT less cotton and diversity
more" Let this be the password to the
road of agricultural success, which every
st. Landry farmer should follow to the end.

OUR MAYORS SALARY

The duties of the mayor of Opelousas
are such that this important office has to be
filled by a competent man, who is required
to give his entire time and attention to the
functions of his office. It matters not who
is the mayor at Opelousas, at the present or
in the future this man, who is entrusted
with the affairs of the city should be justly
compensated for his services.
1t was wise and just in days gone by,
when Opelousas was only a small town,
when the duties of the head of the admins
tration were of small consequence, though
often troublesome and worrysome, to pay
the mayor a small salary, as that officer was
not required to give his entire attention TO
the office and consequently could make a liv-
ing without depending upon his salary from
the town.
Since the last few years, however,
municipal affairs have been vastly increased
made more complicated and important, Opel
ousas has made wondeful progressive strides
and the mayor has been compelled to spend
all of his time transacting the business of
the city. For the last few administrations
the mayor has been greatly overWorked and
underpaid.
Can any taxpayer, leaving aside petty
strife and polical differences-can any citi-
zen begrudge the mayor Of Opelousas a raise
in salary? Has not Opelousas made more
improvements in the last three or four years
than any city its size in the state? Has not
the business affairs of the city been conduct
ed in vastly superior manner, during the
past several years, than the business of any
city in Louisiana? Who can doubt these as
~sertions and who can deny that the mayor
of Opelousas should not be getting a living
salary?
But still one will find some smaller cities
nay even towns, pay their mayors better
salaries than the mayor of Opelonsas is re-
ceiving or has ever received. We applaud
them for so doing and would be loud in our
praises of our city council if the chief Of
our administration would be given a living
salary.
The financial conditions of this city will
no doubt be splendid by the beginning of the
new year and the Clarion feels assured that
it voices the sentiment of the voters of Opel
ousas in urging upon the aldermen to raise
the mayors salary as soon as they can see
their way clear to so doing.

to the commerce of New Orleans and the
lower Mississippi Valley, are to be voted on
November 8.
One of these amendments corrects an
unintentional error in the constitution which
in recent years has been construed as i'm
posing a tax on money on hand and on de-
post. The amendment specifically declares
money on hand and on deposit exempt from
taxation. Nobody now pays the tax, since
practically every large handler of money
who might be called on to pay it, avoids
such liability by carrying his money On de-
post in banks in other states which do not
tax money. In this way somewhere be-
tween 5000, 600, 900 and $500, 900, 600 annu-
ally are sent out by Louisiana. Were there
no fear Of taxation. this money would re-
main in Louisiana to swell the sums avail.
able as loans for the financing of Louisi-
ana's agriculture and commerce.
The other amendment c~orrects the tax
law applying to the entry of foreign bank
ing corporations, which is now p%rohibitive.
Its adoption will open the way for the re-
turn to Louisiana of such banking concerns
as the Comptoire Rationale and the Cana
dian Bank of Commerce, which, before they
were driven out of Louisiana by prohibitive
taxation, supplied many millions of dollars
each season for the handling of cotton and
other export trade.
The adoption Of these amendments will
do more to place Louisiana in position to
take full advantage of her really wonder
full opportunities than anything that has
been done in a generation. The Panama
Canal and the wa in Europe have brought
the trade of Central and South America and
the Far East measurably nearer the Mis-
sissippi Valley, and an intelligent attitude
by Louisiana toward capital, which is really
the tool of trade and commerce., is a very
decided step in the right direction. It is to
be hoped some of the other long benighted
sections will profit by Louisiana's example.

NO PARISH FAIR.

Once more we are disappointed and once
more we feel that the general public is sorry
that a public enterprise which would have
meant so much to the agricultural resources
of this parish has failed. Nearly every year
for the past twenty years some patriotic and
progressive citizens gathered in Opelousas
to discuss the proposition of organizing a
permanent parish fair association and twen-
ty times these efforts have proved fruitless.
Being firm believers in Jefferson's great
saying, IF at first you don't succeed try,
try again." We are of the opinion that the
tWenty-frst attempt will prove successful.
Whilst, perhaps no one in particular is
responsible for the failure Of the parish fair
association being permanently organized, it
is evident that the reason st. Landry has
not a place for it's farmers to exhibit their
products each year, which every other pro-
gressive parish in the state has, is because
the very citizens, those very one who stand
always ready to ~criticise and demand the
reason why so many enterprises have failed
never made an attempt to boost the fair as
ISOLATION along until it could be organized.
The Clarion trusts that St. Landry's
citizens will realize next season that a parish
without a fair is lack of an enterprise which
is important in promoting better crops and
better farmers. Let us not pronounce the
thing dead before it is born, as have often
been the case ever since the first parish fair
was attempted, but or the contrary, let IS
begin planning for nett year and by the
October rolls around once more St.
will be announced to the state that
it has a parish fair, where the farmers of
the parish will be able to assemble to discuss
over their various crops, at the same time
the successful productions of every
raised in st. Landry.

DECREASE YOUR COTTON


Every farmer in st. Landry should
fully make up his mind right now to cut his
cotton acreage at Ieastin half. 1t does not
take a genius to understand that if the
same amount of cotton is raised in 1915 as
was produced this year the cotton will de
mand a very small price and it won't be on
account of the war either.
1t matters very little if the war should
end tomorrow in SO far as the price of cot
ton is concerned; there is very little chance
of the cotton farmers disposing of the bulk
Of their crop this season. Financial con-
ditions abroad will be such, after the war
clouds will have vanished, that a very small
percentage Of the present crop will be ship
ped across the Atlantic.
1t therefore behooves every cotton
planter to either resist from planting cotton
next year, and if this cannot be accomplish
ed the acreage should be decreased fifty per
cent.
The days Of the one crop system are
numbered and the sooner the farmers adapt
themselves to Investigation the sooner they
will prosper and lift that long standing
mortgage off the old home place.
When st. Landry farmers will begin di-
yersifying their crop extensively every town
in the parish will bloom and instead of ca
lamity howlers being in superabundance we
will have some of the most thrifty optimis-
tic progressive farmers and business people
in the entire United States,

POINTED

Perhaps if the women of to-day dressed
in the manner the women of the COS did il
would not be so difficult to Go away with
our cotton crop, as we understand that the
Fashionable lady folks are sacrificing
silks and satin for cotton goods. WOULDN'T
we have cause for contentment, knowing
that several million bales could be discarded
in this manner?
Those Mexicans who are ever ready tC
follow the color Of the gods of war should
cross over to the big pond where they would
we judge, find plenty Of ammunition, as well
as countless hordes to fight against. We
would suggest, since the lives Of all the
Mexican soldiers are not worth one dead
American hobo, they be placed in steam
ships and hurried over the seas before the
Kaiser and his seven enemies come to terms.
Let Opelousas church members follow
suit tomorrow and offer up prayers to put a
stop to the fierce European war. President
Wilson designated Sunday October 4th as
the day upon which all Americans should
pray for universal peace. Guess it wouldn't
harm for some Of these fellows who go to
church about every century to join the
President and his faithful subjects in a
nationwide prayer for peace.
