SALANDRA

Dr. Antonio salandra, who as premier headed the Italian govern ment which, after long negotiations, declared war on Austria, is Sixty years old and. has been a member of the Italian chamber of deputies, for just half that many years. He en- tered Parliament at thirty, the earliest legal age, and since then he has been more or less prominent in the political affairs of his native land AS a writer and university lecturer he early won wide reputation. but few dreamed that the sch olarly, mild hammered man would ever be respon- sible for pllznging Italy into war. Even last year, when Giovanni GioHtti, so-caued real king of Italy '' selected Sa1andra, for the post of premier, the fierce old dictator of Italian politics believed that Sa1andra would feat out of his hand" Signor Giolitti, as the leader of the neu- tra1ity party, doubtless received the surprise of hs long life when Sa1andra dared to map out and adhere to a course of his own in direct opposition to the Gio1itti policy. When at last he realized that Salandra could not be controlled, Gio1itti attempted to bring about his overthrow, but it was too late, as he found SaIandra firmly entrenched in popular favor and with the nation almost so1id1y behind him. In his personality Premier Salandra is brief of stature and port1y of paunch, and in address he is mild but grace full and winning He has long been known as one of the chief Italian au- thorities on international and admin istrative law and government finance. Placed in a position of power, the stu dent and savant was suddenly trans formed into a strong-wil1ed executive, and GioHtti's power was almost com pIete1y overthrown.

encourage the enterprise once
they are convinced that it is be-
ing managed in business way.
The business men of New Iberia
owe it to themselves to see that
the capacity Of the Plant be
doubled and at the same time
handle it's products, paying cash
for the butter so as to give 1t the
benefit of ready money for the
purchase Of the raw products.
This money Immediately goes
into circulation among these same
business men and all will enjoy
degree Of prosperity that we
are entitled to. Let all put their
shoulder to the wheel and within
a few years either the capacity of
the Plant will be increased or we
will have several other Cream
cries operating here to consume
what can be produc ed by our far
mers. Many of the eastern and
western States live solely on the
products of their creameries and
there is no excuse for us not to
go into that business on a large
scale.

former method Of conducting a
single crop in this Parish. Hog
raising is simply diversifying and
unless we take the initial steps in
trying to develop our Parish we
can never hope to see others come
here and do it for us. In other
sections Of the State people with
money to loan are offering it at
the lowest rate of interest to those
who will go into the venture and
hundreds are taking advantage Of
the opportunity of starting into
the business. The bankers Of
Caddo have taken the lead in in
ducing their farmers to go into
the breeding Of hogs and were
concerted effort made here, thou
sands Of dollars would pour into
our Parish within few years
that would make the farmers in
dependent and our whole people
prosperous. If the same time
given to political matters by some
Of our citizens were devoted to
these matters, there would be no
hard times in this country and we
would not care whether we had
tariff on sugar or not, at least we
would be in much better position
to do without it. Now that we
have assurances by the principal
owners Of the Creamery that it
Will be given their especial at
tention which will make it a sue
cess, why not some others also in
terested in our welfare get to-
gether and work up a subscrip-
ton stock and bring to a realiza
ton a Packing Plant. We must
not wait On the stranger to give
these industries to us. There is
enough money and enough brains
right here at home to promote and
make success of such undertake
lngs as these. Other communities
are doing it, we can do the same

there are hundreds Of our prop
erty holders who drain into the
Bayou Teche as Everybody
knows. and who according to the
assistant of the State Health Of
ficer will be denied this privilege
before MANY months. If DR.. Dow
ling's position is sustained by the
Supreme Court as he seems to
think, then in that case the invest
ment in a first-class sewerage sys-
TEN is the only thing left to the
property holders under the cir
cumstances. The best is always
the cheapest and if DR.. Bowling
has such authority as he says he
has, then in that event the sooner
the Sewerage Board that was
created by the vote of the people
some two years ago, gets tOgeth-
er the better. Il sewerage cleo
ton be called and meets the de-
feat of the property holders there
will be no one to blame but them
selves. AS for the system Of wire
screened closets proposed and
scavangers employed at a great
cost to the taxpayers. and a big
outlay for an incarceration plant
as it will not only, not meet the
wants Of the people, but be gen.
eral nuisance and a greater cost
in keeping them clean than what
a sewerage system would entail.
We are glad that our new Mayor
will make a test case of the mat
ter and feel certain if the Supreme
Court sustains DR.. Bowling, our
People will take steps to get
good system of sewerage.

white voter is deprived of his
rights of franchise on this occa-
sion when there is no political is

would make good delegates to the

WHY NOT A SMALL PACKING
PLANT.

We notice by our exchanges
that efforts are being made by the
more progressive citizens Of Ma
poleonville to interest capitalists
in erecting a Packing Plant in
that vicinity. In fact the town
of Donaldsonville is also busy
trying to induce the promoters to
chose their place instead, offering
inducements such as exemption
from taxation, free site, a liberal
subscription, etc. 1t will be re-
membered we mentioned in The
Enterprise some months ago that
our Secretary Of the Chamber Of
Commerce had been in communi-
cation with Mr.. Godchaux whom
he tried to interest in building a
Packing Plant in New Iberia.
Evidently he did not meet with
success for some reason or other
that we know not of at present.
1t seems to us there is big field
here for Packing Plant, more
especially owing to the fact that
the skim milk from our Creamery
is the ideal thing to sustain pork
ers with as it is very fattening.
Within the past two years many
of our farmers have gone into the
hog raising business, some on
scientific principles, among them
Messrs. Goodwin & Schwing,
Henry N. Pharr. Geo. w. Dallas
and others, and we are satisfied
sufficient hogs are already being
raised through the Teche country
to sustain medium size packing
plant. There is no gainsaying
the fact that hogs can be raised
more cheaplv in this section than
any part of the South. We were
shown by Mr.. Dallas an order he
received from Pavo. Ca, for ff-
teen Hampshire pedigreed pigs
which he disposed of at $500
each raised on his Edgewood
Farm On the East Side of the
Teche. His farm comprises about
26O acres and his hogs are being
fed on sugar beets and forage
crops. Hogs can be raised here
for as little as &c per pound which
is as cheap as they can be raised
in any other section.
New Iberia being a railroad
center and with good water nav
lgation at all seasons, there is no
reason WHY a Packing Plant could
not be made a paying investment.
Once the small farmer hereabout.
realize that they have a good mar
ket here for their porkers they
will all 60 into the business. It
is true hogs are susceptible to
many diseases that are fatal. but
they can be immunized from these
diseases such as is being done by
the three gentlemen above named.
Both Messrs. P. A. Landry and
Ulysses Landry are devoting a
great deal of effort at hog raising
and like the others. they have also
been very successful. There is
no reason why our moneyed peo-
Die should not interest themselves
in establishing industries of this
kind in New iberia if they hope
to see our section thrive and over
come the set back due to our

MATTERS POLITICAL,

On Thursday last members of
the Progressive Party responded
to the call of the chairman of their
Parish committee met at the
Woodmen Hall on iberia Street
for the purpose Of selecting the
delegates to their Convention
which will be held on August 9TH,
at which they will chose their I'M
opposed candidate for District
Attorney. The Convention will
undoubtedly select Hon. Edwin S.
Broussard, the Progressive leader
of the Parish as it is the wish OF
the rank and file of that Party
that he take the nomination and
lead their Party to a successful
victory. In this they will meet
with success as the Democratic
Party will not put out any candi-
date to oppose him, Hon. P. R.
Burke having declined to run,
preferring to sit in the Constitu-
tional Convention which is more
to his liking. The Parish of Ibe
ria being entitled to two repre-
sentatives he is being opposed by
Hons. L. Q. Hacker and Henry n.
Pharr. who have already been
nominated by the new party. We
are not in position to know which
one Of the Progressives will have
the distinction of setting as
member of the Convention with
Mr.. Burke. both of the Progress
sive candidates are very strong
and influential men and are MAX
ing a canvas of the Parish asking
the votes Of the people. We will
be satisfied with either one of
them that is elected on August
31st to sit as member of
the Convention with Mr.. Burke
and Iberia will be ably repre-
scented in that body of lawmakers.
On Wednesday CONSERVATION
was thrown into the ranks of the
Progressive Party owing to a re-
port which got into public print
that they had failed to comply
with the law and their names
would not appear upon the ballot
on election day, and as a conse-
quence those who wanted to vote
for members Of that party would
have to write their names upon
the ballot as they had not polled
five per cent Of the vote in the
State. This would only have de-
MED those who were unable to
read and write the privilege of
voting and would have reduced
the vote of the country wards to
a great extent giving the Demo-
cratic candidate some little adj
vantage. Not wishing to take
advantage of any Of his OPP
ponents, Mr.. Burke very mag
unanimously offered to assist the
opposing party in pleading that
the Secretary Of State place their
names upon the tick cts
as he did not want to 60 to the
Convention if he was not the
choice of a majority Of the vo-
ters of the Parish. Since, how
ever. Mr.. Millsaps. the Secretary
of the State has taken different
view of his construction of the
law and all of the candidates will
appear under the emblem of their
respective parties. Had this con-
struction of the intent Of the law
been carried out by the Secretary
of State, members of that party
would have been RESPONSIBLE for
it as the leaders used every in
f1uence at their command to have
Governor Hall veto the Primary
bill that was proposed and car
ried in both houses of the General
Assembly by Senator Walter J.
Burke which recognized them
as a party in this State. The
Primary bill of the Senator was
one that was fair to all, but was

CREAMERY WILL BE GIVEN
NEW IMPETUS.

A meeting of the stockholders
of the New Iberia Creamery took
place last Saturday afternoon in
the New Iberia National Bank
building for the purpose of elect
ing new Board of Directors, and
incidentally to investigate the
general conditions under which
the management has been labor
ing. The new Board as elected
that afternoon comprised the
following gentlemen: Messrs. c.
G. Nelson, H. N. Pharr, P. L.
Renoudet, Ed. l.. Estorge, Julius
Scharff, H. P. Gates and Alphonse
Davis. At subsequent meeting
of the Directors held on Tuesday,
Mr.. Nelson was reelected presi-
dent; Mr.. Pharr, vice-president
and Mr.. Renoudet secretary and
treasurer. From what we are
informed an effort will be made
to dispose of the Plant to private
individuals which will carry with
1t the payment Of all outstanding
Indebtedness. In the event the
Board is unable to dispose Of the
Creamery they will make ar
rangements to settle with the
farmers that have accounts
against it and pay cash for all
future milk delivered. When
taken into consideration the small
supply of milk furnished to this
institution and the manner in
which they disposed of the pro-
ducts. the showing made by the
management is excellent and it
clearly demonstrates that the
Creamery business is a paying
proposition in this particular To-
cality and will some day, if prop
erly managed be one of our lead
ing industries. This institution
was started at the instance of Mr..
Nelson and he deserves much
credit in making our people real
ize the advantage of making a
dairy country Of our Parish.
1t did not take long for our small
farmers to realize the benefits
that they would derive by going
into the business of supplying
milk and butter fat and a large
number Of them are hopeful that
the management will put it in
such shape that they will receive
cash upon delivery. It must be
taken into consideration that the
management was handicapped
from the start as a number who
had subscribed stock failed to pay
IN full, consequently some Of the
funds realized from the sale of
butter and ice cream which is be-
ing manufactured. was applied to
the machinery and other debts
and some Of the farmers now hold
due bills against the concern. If
the management hopes to have
the farmers engage in the dairy
business on large scale, they
have to adopt the policy of pay
ing. at least once a week for the
raw products. We do not blame
the farmer who needs his money
for hesitating and in fact refus-
ing to deliver milk under the
present conditions. We are for
that reason hopeful that some
will purchase the Plant
and run it on cash basis.
The farmers of our Parish can
be made prosperous if they will
only increase their herd of milk
stock which can be disposed of
daily and it behooves them to
