| With farmers from the Flfth, sew
enth, Ninth and Tenth wards on the
one hand clamoring for resclndlns
of the recent cattle dipping regua'
lions and the ladies of Baton Rouge
on the other demanding vote on inc
liquor issue, the East Baton Rouge
police Jury solved the problem for the
present by tabling both measures for
thirty days. Botn the farmers and tae
ladies expected immediate action.
After the presentation Of their pe'
tition to the police jury, and the
iury's declining to take action at
that time some of the farmers espe-
cially interested in holding up the
compulsory dipping, interviewed law
yers, but did not engage counsel
1--WE are going to get the matter III
to the courts, if we have to resist the
dipping, and have affidavits made out
against us for the violation of the 70.
lice jury regulations" said S. B. Da'
vid, who has been one Of the leaders
in the fight against dipping.
I'VE are not going to dip on the
dates assigned to us to dip" was the
dictum Of the five hundred signerS OF
the petition to the police jury.
Money is being raised to fight the
thing" said H. O'Neil who has also
taken a prominent part in the fight
against dipping.
Less than two thousand are GOV.
cred in the assessment rolls, and 1t IS
reported that DR.. Washer has already
dipped some fifteen thousand head.
The farmers Of the four wards are
highly incensed and greatly agitated
over what the claim to an injustice,
and their open threats that they are
going to defy the law indicates that
conditions have reached a critical
stage
They denounce those In charge OF
the work as grafters, the Baton Rouge
people interested in tick eradication
as meddlers, and impugn the police
jury for its delayed action. Nothing
short Of a special election, in which
the city Of Baton Rouge will be ex-
cluded, to determine whether or not
or direct resembling of the dipping
ordinance by the police jury.
One interesting view Of the situa-
ion was revealed when che Of the |
farmers told a business man of Ba-
on Rouge that should the city saddle |
,attle dipping on the farmers, the far.
ners would saddle prohibition on the
'ity.

The counsel of the Sioux City
Tribune to the effect tina: this state
should instruct its delegation TO
the national republican convention
for Cummins, is nothing il il is not
impractical. It says 1T is the
standpatters who are opposing IN
structions, as they rely chiefly on
political manipulation" Is it not
true that the delegation sent under
ironclad instructions for some fa-
vorite son is the standpat delega-
tion2 Is it not true also, that In
a field OF many candidates, that
manipulation is absolutely neces-
sary2 It takes majority of all
delegates to nominate. Now sup-
pose Massachusetts should instruct
for Weeks, New York for Root,
Pennsylvania for Penrose, Ohio for
Burton, Indiana for Fairbanks,
Illinois for Sherman, Wisconsin
for LaFollete, Iowa for Cummins,
Idaho for Borah, California for
johnson, and all stood pat on their
instructions, as they would be sup-
posed to do, how could nomina-
tion be made? There will be 985
delegates in the convention and
South Dakota with a litAe bunch
of ter delegates will practically
amount to nothing if tied fast to
some favorite son, but if left to use
their best judgment and use their
etreDgth to the best advantage they
might have some influence in help
ing to oucentrate on a second or
third choice in the list of candi
dates. South Dakota, with her
immovable ten delegates demand
ing that the other 975 delegates
must yield to her demands would
make her laughing-stock.

The Agricultural Exhibit Car Of
the Chicago, Milwaukee and st.

The government crop reports in
dicate that this year the aggregate
yield Of these staples will be the
largest in history. Fabulous in
creases are shown in many pro
ducts, especially in Montana, the
Dakotas, Iowa, Minnesota and
Washington. The yields are phe-
nomenal, going beyond the highest
estimates previously made by the
most optimistic experts. The atti
tude of the railroads and OF the gov
ernmens is to stimulate the inter
est Of the people Ia agricultural
pursuits.
Last year the government spent
millions of dollars in agricultural
research and study. It is encouf.
aging to find railroads lending their
support to proposition that deals
so vitality with the country's pros.
