BRYAN TO VISIT IOWA.
Secretary Will Stump State During
Fall caf1paian.

Fall Campaign.
Washington, June 26.-Secretary Of
State Bryan lunched with Representa-
tive Connolly at the capitol yester-
day. Mr.. Bryan promised to go to
Iowa in the campaign and speak for
Mr.. Connolly. Mr.. Connolly said Sec
rotary Bryan would undoubtedly speak
in Des Moines. Whether President
Wilson will speak in Iowa or will make
any campaign speeches is unsettled.
In speaking OF his talk with Secre-
tary Bryan, Mr.. Connolly said:
Secretary Bryan promised to go to
Iowa in the campaign. He did not say
how many speeches he would make,
but indicated he would go whenever
we could use him. 1 judge he will be
liberal in speaking for us. He showed
his interest in the Iowa situation. and
expressed the hope the differences in
the primaries would be forgotten and
we would present a united front. I
think it likely he will speak along in
October Des Moines will be one of the
places where he will probably speak"
Mr.. Connolly said Secretary Bryan
indicated that other administration
leaders could be induced to speak in
the state.
"He seemed to feel they would do
this" said Mr.. Connolly, "as there is a
stiff republican majority in Iowa and
the democrats will neep help.
LAS to President Wilson. Mr.. Bryan
seemed to think that If the president
entered into the campaign in any of
the states he would go to Iowa"

Ames. June 26.-Julius Rohmer
Young German who came to Ames from
Illinois about four weeks ago, is in the
county Jail at Nevada awaiting action
of the grand jury after venture into
high finance which almost rivals wal
lingford in all his glory. The charges
against him are obtaining goods under
false pretenses, filed by Lou Robertson,
owner of garage in this city.
Rohmer worked for about three weeks
for Addison kingsbury before ne at
tempted his financial wheel whrling.
Last week he came to town and let II
be known that he wanted to buy farm
near Ames. He claimed he had just
fallen heir to $4,000 which he said was
deposited in bank at Murphysboro.
Ill. He first applied to the Sawyer
Realty Company, to find him farm
and after he had been shown over the
country surrounding Ames. he began to
, warm up to other real estate men, tell
ing them the same story. Feeling that
q man of his wealth should not be
forced to walk, he began negotiations
with Robertson for the purchase of an
automobile. and on Saturday purchased
a 81, 500 Studebaker touring car, giving
Mr. Robertson check on the Murphys-
boro bank for $1,675 and received SIS in
change. Mr.. Robertson deposited the
money in the usual manner and put the
matter from his mind.
Sent For Fortune"
Monday Rohmer told officials of the
Union National Bank. where he already
had small checking account, that he
believed he would bring the remainder
Of the fortune to Ames and deposit it
in the Union National Bank. He was
told that the account would be well
coined and proceeded to draw a sight

draft on the Murphysboro bank for
$4,000, the amount he claimed to still
have on deposit there. Bank officials
told him that It would be necessary to
verify the draft before they paid him
any actual cash and they would accept
the draft to be selected in the usual
manner.
The cashier became suspicious and
wired the bank to see II the money was
on deposit there and received tele-
gram that he had no funds whatever In
the bank. and that neither the checks
nor the draft would he honored. Mar
shall Ricketts, was notified Immediately
and arrested Rohmer at his rooming
house on a charge of obtaining goods
under false pretenses. filed by Robertson
in the justice Of peace office. He waived
preliminary hearing and was bound
over to the grand jury with bond fixed
at $500.
He had SIS with him when arrested
ard this was given to Robertson for the
money given In change. He was taken
to Nevada and placed in the county Jail

Rohmer told the officials he only Went
into this high finance for fun and meant
nothing serious by the venture.

WHY IMMIGRANTS DO NOT
COME TO LOUISIANA.

In the Southern Pacifc's monthly bulle-
tin for January we find a very interesting
article concerning the resources OF Louisiana
and comparing same with those Of Canada.
In Louisiana where immigrants, who would
once come, would never depart, whist in
Canada they soon leave, we find that the
people are indisposed to do anything in the
way OF letting the outside acquainted with
the wonderful resources of the lands. Ii
farmers in Canada can become rich in tho
space of a few years, when they have to
suffer heavy expenses during the severe
winters, what can they accomplish in Louis
lana, where farmers can work their land
during the entire year?
The Southern Pacific bulletin has the
following on Louisiana and Texas:
The immigration department OF these
lines had occasion to suggest to its superior
official that free farms offered settlers by
the Canadian Government was a pretty
difficult handicap to overcome. Right back
came: Eyes, possibly 80, but we have 365
days in eveay year when our farmers can be
in the open and producing something and
that puts it all over Canada"
THAT is really something to talk about.
One hundred and sixty acres with the frost
on the ground all the time; a five months
grain growing season and then a long period
of Information, when mar and beast must
be fed in Canada or one hundred and sixty
acres in Texas and Louisiana, growing any
thing, something in the field all the while,
cattle and people in the open every day in
the year, and sunshine, blue skies, balmy
winds in continuous operation. Which,"
If this answer could only be printed in
hundreds of newspapers in Ohio. Iowa, Illi-
and Nebraska, says the Lake Charles
Times, it would do much good. The reason
hundreds Of thousands of citizens of these
states are going into Canada is BID cause live
real estate men and enterprising land agents
have advertised and promoted these Cana
dian wilds. When Louisiana and her re-
sources are properly exploited we will wit
ness a flood of immigration that will startle
the whole country. But with a state immi-
grafton department that is little better than
nothing at all, and a disposition on the part
of the land owners to make the railroads do
it all. there is no chance for US to offset
what Canada is now doing.
St. Landry clarion. (Opelousas, La.) 1890-1921, 1914-01-24
STREET FAIRS A MENACE TO A
COMMUNITY.

Street fairs or carnivaIs are a menace
to a community and should not be allowed
to exhibit in this city. Such things in no
way better the morality Of a place, but on
the contrary are incentives to immoral
habits and thoughts.
When a street fair is allowed to come
into a city it is accepted just as it is, and in
the history of Opelousas. we dare say that
very few such shows were anything but
moral.
AL progressive cities and towns have
passed ordinances prohibiting street fairs
from exhibiting there and we see no reason
why Opelousas should not follow such ex-
amples. Instead Of helping a community as
good moral and classical shows do, these
street fairs are nothing but abominable dis
plays of things seductive Of that which is
unchaste and immoral.
While the people Of Opelousas like to
attend good shows. in our mind. these peo-
pie do not like to put up with such things,
as the last street fairs, which visited our
city.
Lafayette has abolished street carnivals
altogether, The people there did not care
to tempt their morals to such an extent, and
the city council of Lafayette acted wisely in
such a law.
If the citizens here are not in favor Of
completely doing away with street fairs,
why the city council can put a ban on those
in the mind Of a committee, are
suggestive of beirp immoral.
St. Landry clarion. (Opelousas, La.) 1890-1921, 1914-01-24

with the progressive gait OF Opelousas.
This is indeed true and there is ne doubt
that practically every citizen Of Opelousas
and st. Landry will agree with the eminent
physician in this. But still there are very
few here who have thought Of the possibility
of building an up-to-date and modern court
house. One which will be able to be kept
in a more sanitary condition than the pres
emit one, a courthouse which will be more of
an office to the parish officials than q bore,
as it is at present; one which will be thor
oughly fire proof and which will resist a
storm.
The courthouse is by no means a safe place
during a storm, and especially the clerk OF
courts office.
The courthouse square is seldom clean
ed, the grass is clipped but two or three
times a year, and still the people here do not
mind that. Why not do like in other parish
es. Let the police jury employ a man to at
tend to the courthouse square, courthouse
and jail. This man, however can not be ex-
pected to work for the sum of twenty-five
or thirty dollars a month, as the case may
be, but he should be paid a good salary and
then the police jury could expect the work
to be done properly.
The Clarion hopes to see the day when
the Jail will be made as sanitary as any in
the state, the courthouse square n of
the most beautiful spots of this city, and
not a place where the trash from the Offices
around are dumped on. as it often appears.
And above all, the Clarion earnestly hopes
that the progressive members of the police
jury will instigate a move, by which st.
Landry will erect one of the best and hand
soonest c~ourthouses in Louisiana.
St. Landry clarion. (Opelousas, La.) 1890-1921, 1914-01-24
WHY WE HAVE NO FACTORIES.

We often hear our neighbors say: If
Opelousas would only have a few factories
the city and surrounding country would
prosper much" This is verify true, but did
we ever stop and reason why this city has
no factories from which hundreds of labor
ers here could get employment? Do we
take into consideration that several factories
have attempted to make Opelousas their
headquarters, but were driven away simply
because a few land owners and semi-poli-
ticians wanted to hold them up.
Opelousas has never yet made a decent
proposition to a single factory DESTROYS Of
establishing here; on the contrary the peo-
pie here, being divided, drove these various
enterprises to other towns. That is the rea-
son we have no large factory here and un-
less we change Immediately we will be
without factories for years to come.
Here in st. Landry, where the towns
and cities have to depend practically only
on the crop. various enterprises are needed
and should be accorded a hearty welcome
whenever they breach US on the subject Of
entering our community. If the crops fail
feel the blow heavily, but if we had sew
eral manufacturing industries things would
be different, even If we made no crop what
soever. The farmers around Opelousas
would derive benefits, as well as the people
Of this city, and we, therefore, should all
act in unison and try our hardest to land the
next factory in our town.
