A WORD TO BATON ROUGE,

Baton Rouge is drawing a long
breath. 1t has had big scare, the
biggest of it's middle age. 1t was a
scare, which, while never one OF real
danger, was like the thrill produced
when a good story-teller tells a grew
some ghost story.
1t should be warning to Baton
Rouge, for those people in the HUI
city are very ambitious to be the hub
indeed, and are going to try, try again
Whether they succeed in the end,-thc
far future-depends on Baton Rouge
itself. The arguments were all in the
old towns favor, but it's enemies spoke
some bitter truths, and from it's en-
emies it may we'll learn.
Baton Rouge should, if it is going
to continue in the business OF being
a capital-and a university town also
become clean, inside and out, make
itself a residence town in the best
sense of the word. 1t has already
many of the most necessary and de
sirable attributes for this purpose, but
it should be made a less expensive
place to live. And above and beyond
all, making it desirable for general
assemblymen and visitors at the cap
itol, train all residents from their youth
up not to regard the sessions of the
legislature as their harVest-time, get
ting everything possible from the hap
less stranger within their gates. Ever
in the matter of amusements, this plan
should be carried out: while affordin&
the legislators numerous legitimate
pleasures, cease making them the vic
tins of all sorts of subscriptions anC
catch-penny affairs. The women's OF
CARNATIONS can put stop to this prac
tice, and they should do. 1t is one O.
the most annoying features of life IL
Baton Rouge to the transient.
For those who like wilder pleasures
than a quiet capital can afford, there
is no need to hint that New Orleans i!
near by.

A FARMERS LOBBY.

At the talkfest in New Orleans, last
Friday night, at which matters for the
benefit of the farmer were discussed.
one of the speakers suggested that OF
all classes before the legislature that
the farmer alone had no lobby Every
interest was represented to get money
from the state, except the farmer. The
conclusion was that he also should
have a lobby.
Irrespective of any merit that at
taches to the suggestion, the speaker s
statement was naive confession OF
the attitude of legislators before and
after election. Before election, the
farmers, at least in an agricultural
commonwealth like Louisiana, are
made to feel and understand that the
candidate desiring their suppor' Is
above and beyond all else their rGpre-
sentative, that his purpose by day and
his dream by night is to look after the
interests of the dear farmers. He pro-
fesses that it is his one and only am
bition to lead all others in what shall
benefit the farmer, whose sturdy
shoulders, Atlas-like, holds up the
commercial world!
If the candidate is convincing in
these eloquent asserverations, he is
elected to office.
That accomplished, it is now ad
mitted, from the inside, that candi'
dates, as a class, are very different
from the elected. The latter seem
ingly forget their affection for, and
their promises to, the farmer.
And the latter needs lobby to ad
vance his interests before his chosen
representatives!
Better than an expensive lobby how
ever will be the custom of the farmers
holding their legislative representa-
tives to strict accountability in keep
ing before-election promises. This
done Systematically and promptly will
prove a wonderful strengthened of the
memory of the average legislator.
For that indeed the farmers need tc
use the force of political organization
the recall.

AS THE LAW is o5EYED.

The humorist on the Mansfield En-
terprise gives in a single squib, an
idea of how laws may be obeyed:
when Doc Bowling was in our city
last, he read the riot act to a number
of our people and called attention to
the fact that the Health Code prohib
tied the use of public drinking cups
glasses or dippers.' As our people
are law-abiding, they at once got in
line with the law, discarded all public
drinking cups, glasses or dippers, and
hung up an old-fashioned gourd fol
public use, so when you see a gourd
hanging on a nail just help yourself
for that is what it's for"

The state industrial Institutes at
Lafayette and Ruston each want to
establish a nine-months' course in
pedagogy, emitting high school grad
uate, after taking it to a teachers
first grade certificate. The bill has
started a hot fight in the House.
Friends of the State Normal School at
Natchitoches are vigorously opposing
the bill on the ground that it's passage
will seriously affect that institution
The most serious objection is the du.
plication of work,~and the fact that
the course proposed is less advanced
than that required at the State Nor
NAL and it's requirements should be
higher. The bars should not be lower
ed at any rate.

CONVICT KILLED.

L. Sapp, convict guard on Angola
State Farm, shot and killed Hugo
Rivet, white convict, at noon, Thurs
day. 1t is claimed that Rivet advanced
upon the guard, after being cautioned
to halt, and was shot at distance Of
about eight feet. Rivet was sent I'D
from ST. James parish on a charge OF
cattle theft, and had only been at
Angola about ten days. The guard
also has been on Angola but short
time.
Parish Coroner Taylor and Deputy
Sheriff John Clack went to Angola
Thursday night and held an inquest.
Sapp is expected to come to town
to-day and make bond pending action
of the grand jury.

THE SOUL OF A MAN.

1t is the soul of the man within the
man that makes him what he is. We
see him on the train, in the street, in
the love-light of his home, and the
emotions that move him, the impulses
that control him, the affections that
master him, are but the expressions of
the soul that is in him. Without that
soul he is dead inert matter to be laid
away in the dust and mingle with the
yellow earth. Man is what his soul is;
nothing more, nothing less.
The true Democrat. [volume] (Bayou Sara [La.]) 1892-1928, 1914-06-13

Since the above was in print, the
race-gamblers' organ announces stout.
ly that the legislative nay so emphati

that the race-track must be made one

Orleans. No one seriously objects to
races apart from the betting that de-
moralizes a community, but the two
are inseparable. AS said above New
Orleans itself will yet have to decide
whether it will be merely PALM
Beach, or will lay aside childish pleas
ures and come into its birthright as
the chief seaport of the South.
