Leonard G. Coop, secretary and

"The Land Just over Yonder," which
the company is filming i'm the valley.
Twenty-three members of the company
made the trip especially to take part
i'm Kynes' gripping story Of the des-
crt. Cloudy weather is preventing the
camera men from getting into action
today and, besides. the company cant
film n particular scene until they get
a dead animal.
Coop searched AT the livery stables
last night for a dead animal and at
one place was told that he could get
a dead mule from an East Side resi-
dent who had inadvertently cut the
animals leg. The mule died before
the owner could summon help.
The secretary and treasurer of the
motion picture company Went over to
the East side, and knocked on the
door of the first house he came to.
His knock was answered by a fat ne
gro nanny who inquired what he
wanted.
Say" began Coop. edo You know
of anybody over here who has a dead
mule?"
No. boss All don't know of nobody
what's got q dead mule" declared the
negro nanny Indignantly. and
slammed the door on his face.
So coop is still looking for a dead
animal. The realism of the scene de

Parole System

The people generally do not know
is doing for convicts. What is needed
is more exploitation through the news
papers OF what is being DONE said
ROY L. Langworthy, state probation
officer of this district, who left this
morning for san Diego after spending
yesterday in FL Centre.
"The parole system has made i'm
mense strides since the creation of
the law in 1895" he continued. "This
is easily apparent by a comparison of
the figures compiled year ago by
the state prison board with the figures
compiled in the same month n year
later. In July, 1914, 642 prisoners were
paroled. while in the same month of
this year 762 were paroled, showing an
increase of 100 in one year.
"The present board of prison direc-
tors is more liberal in paroling and
vet the percentage of prisoners re-
turning to prison for violation of pa
role or for committing new crimes is
no greater. That is probably due to
the fact that the board is SO thor
ough in its Investigations into the con-
ditions of parole that ii is possible to
release more men.
Il think there is a general tendency
toward betterment of life. even
among prisoners
The following figures, compiled by
the state parole officer, were pro-
duced by Mr.. Langworthy to illus
tratc his point that the parole system
is working with considerable success:

The Worst is Yet to Come

1t is difficult to determine whether the
movement for constitutional convention
was initiated by Governor Hall or whether
the demand for it originated with certain
newspaper of New Orleans. As no leader
in the State has so far admitted response
bility as an advisor of the Governor, it will
be assumed that the Governor alone knows
what the convention is called for. The same
sphinx-like secrecy that has characterized
all the Governors official acts has been
maintained on this subject. 1t is therefore
idle to speculate on the purposes of the
convention. But it may be be of interest to
speculate on the probable issue to spring
from his call. That the call will precipitate
most complicated political wrangle there
can be but little doubt. Of course both Of
the United States Senators, and as both OF
these gentlemen are standard bearers OF the
Catholic faith it is not improbable that some
thing of a religious war may be injected in
to the complications. The prohibitionists,
always hunting war, are mobillizing for the
fray. In the dry parishes they will see to it
that more but tee-totlers sit in the conven-
ton. They will provoke something Of a
scrap. New Orleans will get wise.
The New Orleans substantial business
men" will get busy to keep the ward bosses
and hoodlums fran controlling the conven-
ton.
Governor Hall will lay the lines as to
eliminate the hiatus now existing between
the expiration of his term and the nomina-
ton of United States Senator.
We therefore have the elements neces-
sary to make an interesting campaign.
But who can foretell results; can the
Governor insure New Orleans against state
wide prohibition and thus get the assistance
of the city members in the legislature? Can
he restrict the religious war that is sure to
result.
Finally, can he control the members of
the convention and so shape their, policy as
to accomplish the political ends which he
now guards with profound secrecy?
Will the powerful local political organi-
zation, parocial and district, hand over to his
keeping their political destiny? Or would
they prefer to leave matters as they are,
rather than chance general upheaval, the
nature of which has so far been kept in the
dark?
The questions are unanswerable, but
there will be something doing in Louisiana.

Japanese Demand

If any member of the Causian race ever
had any doubt about the policy and ambi-
ton Of the japanese, that doubt should be
at once dispelled by the demands that have
made on China by the japanese government.
The publication of the demands made
on China within the last few weeks makes
clear to the world, what has long been sus-
pected, that Japan intends to train equip
and control the horde of Mongolians with
the aim to ultimately dominate the world.
The war raging in Europe presented a
propituous time for Japan to inaugurate the
movement and the willy diplomats of that
country have seized the opportunity. That
we are confronted with the "yellew peril"
is no longer dream.
This is another debt that we can lay at
the door of Englang, but W.. can get const /.
lation in the knowledge that Englands policy
in encouraging and backing Japan in her
aggressions, will bring its vn retribution.
Of course it will require years of effort
on the part of Japan to work out the ends
that she now has in view, but that such is
her purpose, is made certain by the ultima
tum which has just been submitted her helr-
less neighbor.
Had such been made prior to the pres
ent war, they would have aroused the world,
but they now pass with little notice. No
state has the temerity to interfere, for fear
that additional complications may arise and
thus engulf the few nations that are now at
peaed.

MEXICAN FIBER INDISPENSABLE FOR
The c0UNTRYS HARVEST.

A serious calamity recently
threatened the agricultural in
dustry because of the disturbance
in Yucatan and the announced
blockade of the part of PrOgreso
by Gen. Carranza. The harvest
ing of practically all grains with
modern mac hinery was involved.
If the port of Progreso. had been
closed it would have been i'm
possible to secure the sisal fiber
used in the manufacture of bind
er Irvine. 1t was urgent that this
fiber be secured Immediately and
come forward in large quantities.
by the 1st Of April, otherwise the
factories could not have manu-
featured it in time in sufficient
volume for the use of the farmers
in harvesting this seasons crop.
1t would have beenqnecessary to
harvest by hand, and to have
harvested a large part of the grain
in this way would haFe been i'm
possible. The matter, was so
serious that the President and
the Secretary Of State. on re-
presentation from the Depart
aent sf-Agriculture and the De-
partment of Commerce, took the
matter promptly in hand. At
the request Of the President.
Gen. Uarranza abandoned the
blockade of the port Of ProgresO.
In normal years about 200, 0OO.-
600 pounds of binder Irvine are
required for harvesting the grain,
corn, and flax crops. From two
thirds to three-fourths Of this
is made from henequen (sisaD
fiber, practically all Of which is
produced i'm Yucatan and ex-
ported from ProgresO. This year
the demand for Irvine is certain
to be greater than ever. Last
years wheat crop wastne largest
the country has ever produced;
this years is expected to be still
larger. Nine hundred million
bushels is the estimateif normal
conditions prevail from now to
harvest. 1t is probable that the
production of the other grains,
especially of oats. will also be
increased, and the other crops,
the sorghums and corn, will be
at least the equal of normal
years.
The disturbances in Mexico
have already caused an appreci-
able shortage in the stock of fiber
now in this country. Between
January and February %, g.
4S9 bales of $50 pound;fach were
brought in as compared with
156, $3.50 bales IN the same period
last year and Ill, 1854 in 1913. If
further supplies had been per-
mitted to be cut eff the lack of
Irvine would have resulted in the
loss of very large portion of the
crops in the very year:when they
are most needed In comment
ing upon the situation the Sec
rotary of Agriculture said that
the situation was vastly more
serious than it was in 1912, when
q threatened shortage Of Irvine
resulted in sharp rise in price
from z to IL cents q pound. Then
it was q matter of price; Pro-
gleso were to be closed, this year

scarcity which would result in

and we trust that he got enyugh of it to

such adventures as Merriweather are re-
