STATE COMMITTEE TO MEET.
Old Law to Govern Calling of Demo
cratic Primary Election.

Hon. Horace Wilkinson, chairman
of the Democratic State Central Com
nittee, has called meeting of that
body to be held In New Orleans Tues
day, Oct. 5, for the purpose of deeid-
ing upon date for the state primary
election. The provisions of Act No.
40 of 1906, the old election law, will
guide the actions Of the committee,
1t is announced.
Under the terms Of this act, the
state central Committed must meet on
the first Monday Of the October pre-
cedlng the general state election and
call state primary for a date not
less than seventy days, nor more than
ninety days, prior to the general cleo
ton, which occurs on the first Tues
day after the third Monday in April.
These mandatory provisions Were
eliminated, probably by oversight,
from the new act of 1914, which
leaves in the hands Of the state COM
mittee the power to say when the
committee should meet and when the
primary should be held.

ADMIREs LITERARY GEM.
Prohibitionists' Lack of Logic En-
tertains Reader of Tract

st. Paul eMinn.J Dispatch, Aug 9. 1915.
Editor Dispatch:
The other day well-meanlng
friend handed me an anti-Hquor tract
entitled "The Two Crowns. As a
lack-logic prohibition skit it is gem.
It's theme is the marriage of Adolphus
Busch, wherein he presents his wife
with golden crown said to cost
100000. Among the presents were
those from ex-President Taft and
Roosevelt.
The rest Of the tract is a shrek.
What has the brewers wife done,
more than poorer women, to deserve
a crown? rasps the writer. Answer:
For one thing she has shown superior
judgment to theirs by picking out a
better tproyider."
He quotes a prison warden to the
effect that from rs to SO per cent en-
ter the pen on account of the saloon.
Not one per cent do! # these office
holders would judge their inmates
with minds open to sociological truths
instead of with an eye to their own
political standing, they would find
that defective parentage, bad rearing
and miserable home environment are
the factors which forced the delin-
quents behind prison bars. Not only
has the saloon never put a person IN
the pen, but it has never sent one to
the insane asyluns as the writer as
serts. The above factors, plus domes-
tic, affeetlonal and financial troubles.
sent +sIleTa there Iruly many will
miss the saloon should it be abolished ;
| it is the ever handy scapegoat.
/ Alcoholics Irresponsible for nearly
all Of poverty walls on the writer.
Nonsense! Turkey, the only anti-Ii-
quor land IN Europe, has been al
| cohol-free for over millennium and
| is the most poverty-stricken, ignorant
and degenerate nation in the world.
The tenor Of the whole scurrilous
screed is to show that the brewer and
| distiiler are at fault for the crime
and vice of the country, instead of
the criminals and vicious themselves.
Simple decency should prompt the
| perception that Brewer Busch IS no
more to blame for the misery entalled
by the excessive intake of alcoholic
| drinks than is any wholesale grocer
/ in this town for the hell of dyspepsia
entailed by the injudicious or excess
/ i've consumption of his groceries.
However, his palsied reason and at.
rophied sense of justice will not al
low the prohibitionist to see that the
dyspeptic and-debauchee are to blame
and not the vendors of the mlsusee
! wares. BEN. CHILDS.

DEPLoREs PASSING OF K. OF H.
Record Such as TO Ensitle Order 10
Affection and Esteem of World.

Commenting on the appointment
of a receiver for the Knights Of
Honor, which carries with it certain
liquidation of the affairs of that or
der, Augustus B. Harris, grand COM
mander of the Benevolent Knights of
America, says:
This is indeed sad elimination
of one of the noblest efforts in the
fraternal field the world has ever
seen. It is indeed unfortunate that
at the outset this benevolent institu-
ton did not have at it's disposal the
wonderful array of facts and figures
to be found IN the mortality statistics
Of the present day, for had these
scientific facts been established IN
1878, instead of a deficiency, the
Knights Of Honor, after forty-two
years Of honest and heroic endeavor,
would now show a cash accumulation
that would make a trifie of some of
the boasted reserves of today.
Since the birth of the Knights of
Honor, June 80, 1873, it's record has
been such as to entltle it to the affec-
ton and esteem of the world. Not
wlthstanding the fact that the statis-
ties of that day were a negligible
quantity, and judged in the light of
present day methods and practices its
plan might have been termed mere
conjecture, it had up to Dec. 80, 1914,

PLANTERS ORDERING TRACTORS
Entire Carload Received by Cod
chauxs, and Others Coming.

1t doesn't take Louisiana long to
learn, says the Times-Pleayune. Two
or three Louisiana planters went to
Illinois month or SO ago to wit
ness an annual demonstration of trac-
tors. They were Immediately convinc-
ed of the economy and efficiency OF
the motor machines, but made some
suggestions which would readily ad-
apt them to the Louisiana method OF
hilling the rows IN the sugar cane and
other fields. Several Of the factories
promised to have their experts design
the changes. Today number of
planters and farmers have orders
placed for the improved machinery.
On Monday an entire carload OF trae-
tors arrived for the Godehaux Com
Epany. Before the end Of the week
there will be several tractors at work
in the fields at Reserve, and by next
week they will be in evidence on all
the Godchaux places.
The Louisiana ENJOYS started
movement for large tractor demon
stration down here. As the routes for
the year had been laid out it was too
late to make complete arrangements,
| but several of the fairs took up the
matter and obtained the promise OF
Individual concerns to come down
and Give public tests There will be
several tractors at the New Iberia
fair which began Friday, and ct
Houma and the South Louisiana Fair
at Donaldsonville during October.
| Next year there will doubtless be trac-;
tor demonstrations at all the fairs,
and in the vicinity of New Orleans as
| well

SEASON OF FAIRS.
Great Good to Result from Exhibi
C. ton of Soil Resources.

The season of fairs is well begun
throughout the south this year; and
the promise is of the best. The fairs
did splendid work last year IN encour-
aging the diversifcation of crops,
which all who have given the subject
their careful attention have agreed is
the salvation of this section. There
has been, in some parts of the south,
and particularly in Louisiana and Mis-
sissippi, a far greater diverslfleatlon
in the crops cultivated and there Will
consequently be far more to show at
tbe fall fairs. AS the crops are f1ar-
wasted and the farmers have gather
ad nroducts for exhibit and have the
time to visit the fairs, they Will I'M
nroye in number, in the display they
make, and in the attendance until the
fair season winds up with the Loaisl-
ana state fair at Shreveport Novem-
her 3-8, at which there will be ex-
hibited the best samples collected
from the several parish fairs. New
Orleans started several times to ar
range for great windup fair, but,
although the movement was Well be-
Gun. it was not carried to success.
Fairs are always of great import
ance and Of great value, but never
have they been as important as they
are today to Louisiana, for we recog..
nize that the general prosperity OF
the state is dependent largely on the
success Of its agriculture; and It's
agriculture has the most brilliant OF
futures because Of the fertility Of tbs
soil, If the farmers devote themselves
to the diversifcation of products-fo1
nearly everything can be grown n
Louisiana-instead of concentrating
their efforts on few staples. There
is no better and more certain way te
reach the farmer and teach him this
lesson than through fairs which show
how well crops thrive in Louisiana
The fair season for the next two
months will prove valuable agrlcul
tural course for the farmers; ane
will, we believe, turn our agricultural
course in the right direction-toware
wider and more varied cultivation

FEAST OF TABERNAcLEs.
Eighs-Day Festival elimination Of
Series of Holidays

Appropriate services in celebration
of sukkoth, the Feast of Tabernacles,
were held at Bikur Cholim Syna-
gogue Wednesday evening and Thurs
day forenoon. This festival, in in
tent and ceremony one of thanks
giving, comprises eight days, and
will end Oct. I. It is meant not as
season Of self-congratulation on
having garnared in the product of
the farm OF the gains of business, but
as time for thought on the larger
scoped social interests Of men in the
national and international life.
In it's modern form the suggestive
ness Of this truth of the Sukkoth fes-
tiyal is made more effective by the
fact that it occurs at the beginning
Of the autamn, coincident with the
increased activities of the economic
agencies. It is, as it were, a timely
lesson for each one to interuret his
life as of larger scope, related to the
national life and made possible IN
fullness only within it.
The dwelling in booths as char
acteristic of the Biblical phase of the
festival and observed as an archaic
symbolism nowadays, IS a suggestive
domestic ritual which re-afirms the
lessons of the simple life and the
democracy of the Jewish household.
The FIVE symbolic plants, bundled to-
gether, hint that, as the gifts of God
in nature vary and IN their totallty
make human life sweet and satlsfac-
tory, so the difference among men, as
to service and character, may serve to
make Society an organization in
which each one of US has place and
can make helpful contribution.
Some more effective, some less; some
noble, and some commonplace; some
for the day and some for all time. ae-
cording to what they do and what
they are.
The Sukkoth festival is the culmi-
mating lesson of the series of holidays
of the month It addresses itself to
the facts of life which we might, other
wise, leave sordid. 1t widens the hor-
izon of our Individual interests. Il
approves our vocations and labors not
when they bring private satisfac-
tons, but when they vitalize our COM
mon humanity and make US more eff
fcient in the work upon which de-
pend the veal, the peace and the JOY
of the community.
