MAKE NO MISTAKE.

The hour has arrived when every
voter in the State of Louisiana is awak
ing to the necessity of making his
choice Of the four candidates for gov
error. Before this is done, one fact
should be impressed upon the mind of
each and all, and that is, that no one
candidate, however noble his charac-
ter, however admirable his principles,
however determined to do the right
and never falter, however sincere in
his promises to the people, can perform
those promises or carry out any pro-
gram for economy or progressiveness
of administration without adequate
support in the government.
This sounds like truism-would be
truism-if the great army of voters
had not shown by their actions in the
past that they are blind in this respect
to the obvious. Whether this is due to
the candidate himself hypnotizing the
people into the belief that to secure
desired reforms or improvements, 1t is
only required to elect him, and he will
do the rest, the fact remains that in
each campaign the proletariat deludes
itself with such pleasures of the
imagination. The fallacy of this pre-
sumption is demonstrated at least every
four years, but it never fails to arise
anew and unabashed to deceive the
thoughtless and unobservant.
Therefore, it is well to repeat the
warning The voter must not delude
himself with the belief that alone and
unsupported, Mr.. Barrett can bring
about prohibition, or Mr. Parker, woman
suffrage, or DR.. Pierson, economy and
businesslike methods of administration.
Any of these gentlemen, though great
their personal ability and sincere their
motive cannot accomplish ANYTHING
WORTH WHILE without the support
branches Of the state government. In
other words, he should have a sympa.
thetic and helpful set of state officers,
and he must have with him working
majority in both houses of the general
assembly, or his best efforts will prove
abOrtive, and his promises are born
but to die. A governor without legis-
lature behind him, can say like Johnnie
Sands in the old song, when opportuned
by his wife to save her from drowning:
81 would, my dear, with all my heart,
but you have tied my hands!"
Be not deceived. The sort of gov
ernor one wants must have a legisla-
ture to match. Have q care in choos-
ing the legislators,

WHISKY DID 1T.

Not often is it presented in such con-
crete form the harm that whisky can,
and does do, as is shown in the lament
able murder and suicide that electri-
fled the community, on Tuesday morn
ing 81 don't care what you say about
it," said one of the murdered mans
brothers to us, except that you can't
bring it out too strongly that whisky
did it."
A thoughtful review of the facts con-
firms this view of the terrible event.
A young man of health and energy,
whose life was full of usefulness and
promise, except for his periodical lapses
from sobriety, paid sudden and SUI
preme,-an awful-penalty. The mis-.
cradle suicide, who had not friend

ing his own life but that of the two
Others, was fired by whisky to do these
terrible deeds. One cannot say how
much the wreck of his health, and the
hapless events of his previous life,
were not also due to whisky, but it is
fair to presume that his whole life was
Influenced for evil by whisky, and the
end but the logical conclusion of his
luckless career.
Truly, whisky did it.

PRACTICAL TRAINING IN THE
SCHOOLS.

The idea of giving practical training
in the schools is pretty well grounded
in Louisiana, and is securing a firmer
hold on the people each year. There
are now about $50 schools In the State
that teach sewing, cooking, and other
household arts. In fifty-two of the high
schools there are agricultural depart
ments in which the boys are taught the
best-knoWn farming methods. Many of
the schools have manual training de-
partments which give instruction in
the various forms of mechanic arts.
According to State Superintendent
Harris, every country school will soon
be teaching the girls how to make a
home, and the boys how to provide It.
This training does not take the place
of the older subjects In the curriculum
but is given in addition.

ROTATION OF CROPS FOR HOGS.

After many experiments we have
come to the conclusion that the follow
ing succession of crops will give the
cheapest pork in the greater portion OF
Louisiana: Oats and clover to be sown
in separate fields in October, the oats
grazed until early February, when the
hogs should be transferred to the
clovers, allowing the oats to make a
crop of grain in May. Pasture the
clovers until the middle of April or the
first of May, and transfer the hogs to
Bermuda pasture, and allow the clover
to make a crop of hay. Two fields
sown to mixed oats and clover may
sometimes be preferable to the single
crops, using one field for early pasture
and grain, and the other for late pas
ture and hay. Keep hogs in Bermuda
grass until COW peas are ready to be
grazed, in July for early peas or August
for later paintings; pasture COW peas
until peanuts are ready, this crop hav'
ing been planted after the oats are
harvested. Continue on peanuts until
sweet potatoes are ready for grazing
and continue on sweet potatoes until
the hogs are ready for the market
When the hogs are On COW peas, feed
them moderate amount Of corn. When
they are on peanuts feed half as much
corn as when on cow peas. When on
sweet potatoes feed as much rice polish
or rice bran as they were fed corn on
COW peas. The feeding period actually
begins with the COW pea pasture, as the
main purpose up to this time is to keeI
the animals growing nicely at as low
cost as possible.
There will be times when little
grain ration may be necessary. One
must exercise judgment in matters Of
this kind. w. r. Dodson, Director

FOUR CANDIDATES FOR
GOVERNOR.

The political developments usually
come at the weekend, and the past
one has exceeded all others in interest.
Thos. C. Barrett made formal announce
ment of his platform, the most notice
able plank being the prohibition one.
Mr.. Barrett advocates raising the local
option unit from the parish to the con-
gressional district, and says further
that if elected, he will sign measure
for statewide prohibition.
This announcement was the first
crack O. doom that would have given
talk for longer than the traditional
nine days for new sensations. But on
Sunday Mr.. John M. Parker, foremost
among Louisianas ProgressiVes, an
nounced his candidacy for governor
with promises Of economy Of admins
tration. Mr.. Parker Is for local option
and the status quo in the liquor situa.
ton.
So much for the week-end's surprises
The liquor question has been brought
to the fore by Mr. Barrett, and will
undoubtedly be a leading issue of the
campaign DR.. Pierson is for local
option, but says unequivocally that if
made governor he would veto state
prohibition. Mr.. Pleasant straddles as
usual: he says he is for local option
but whenever given chance to vote on
the prohibition of liquor, he votes, yes

complete platform is awaited with in.

plans would be very acceptable amidst

UNITE THE PARTY.

The True Democrat is, and has ever
been such staunch admirer of John
M. Parker as man and as citizen, that
1t is very painful for us to come to any
parting of the ways in matters political.
His first detection as Bull Moose was
to us a cause of keen regret, his pres
ent announcement to run for governor
on the same ticket produces real
sorrow. 1t would be a source Of pride
and pleasure to support a man Of his
character. But there is no recourse,
The true Democrat. [volume] (Bayou Sara [La.]) 1892-1928, 1915-10-02

but to be true to Democracy. The Pro-
gressive party has absolutely no stand
ing as a national organization, and as
"a party in Louisiana, conceived in
anger against the Democrats, born for
vengeance, and bred to new ambitions,
it has no influence on national legisla-
ton, and even with so fine man as
John M. Parker for governor it could
do nothing without majority in the
general assembly behind him, and that
is not possible at this time, if ever. For
| if Mr.. Parker were elected governor,
we believe it would be as a personal
tribute, and not because OF. any real
turning of the State to Progressivism
Such is our attitude to Mr.. Parker
But the Democratic party should not
shut it's eyes to the fact that very
grave danger of not electing Demo
cratic governor confronts them.
A very large number of Democrats
admit that they propose to vote fol
Mr.. Parker, and in addition to this
condition, there are three candidates
dividing the Democracy, on issues thai
will arouse great bitterness If not pro
ductive of an actual split in the fina
vote, The situation is critical. 1t may
not seem wise to admit this in al
candor, but it is of such truth thai
Democrats should awake to the i'm
portance Of getting together without
delay.
