local self government and placing It
in the power Of the general assembly
TO dominate absolutely and control
the government Of every parish in the

Comparing the assessment Of the

that the eighth ward has the lowest
assessment of any ward with the sole
exception OF the second. the assess
ment of the third ward with a ponn-
lation of 1890 being almost three
times that of the eighth ward with its
population of 1853. There has been
no census taken Of the seventh and

books will show that whilst bills have
been passed creating additional ins-

has been no similar special legisla-

merce at II o'clock tomorrow fore
noon, for the consideration of mat

to take place here the first week in

This conference has been called by
Secretary Manager Vickers in order
that the situation and outlook may be
fully understood by the people most
concerned in the maintenance and
profitable conduct of the enterprise,
and that decision may be reached as
to getting behind" the fair with the
community's united and vigorous eli
vic forces to an extent that will rem
der failure impossible.

fair while a majority Of their COM
munity colleagues fill the role of in
nocent bystanders and inert onlook-
ers.
The value of the fair to this city,
parish and section is too great and
manifest to be questioned, and to per-
nit the well-estabiished enterprise to
lag at this late day would be mis-
fortune and backset that could not
fail to affect injuriously both the rep

There should be a general turnout

be there decided on is likely to be
fraught with grave consequences,

WAR WITH MEXICO
THREATENED.

Relations between the United
States and the de facto or Carranza
government Of Mexico have reached
an acute stage, and there IS an immi-
nent likelihood of a clash OF arms
along the Rio Grande border that may
for while simulate a fuli-nedgea
and sure-enough war. The dufatloh
of such a conflict would in all proba-
bility be very brief, and OF course
the struggle could have but one re-
sult-a decisive victory for American
arms, and salutary lesson to the
shortsighted Mexican leaders ana
their misguided followers who stand
for the continuance of the lntoleraDie
conditions of lawlessness, raplne and
depreciation that prevail IN a large
portion of the unhappy country that
lies to the south Of the United States:
The Carranza government, ihsteaa
of making d genuine effort TO carry
out its promises Of suppresslng the
bands of murderous marauders that
infest northern Mexico and occasion
ally cross the international boundary
to destroy the lives and property OF
American citizens, sent an lmperious
and almost insulting message TO
Washington, attacking the motives
and impugning the good faith OF our.
government in sending troops across
the Mexican border, and demanding
that these forces be forthwith with
drawn.
To this Secretary of State Lansing,
speaking for President Wilson and the
people of the United States, has re-
piled in plain and emphatic terms
that this government cannot consider
the withdrawal of its forces until the
willingness and ability Of the de facto
government of Mexico to restore and
prevent further invasion Of American
rights and territory have been DEM
onstrated.
The American note rebukes the dis
courteous tone and temper of the
Mexican message; describes the de-
plorable conditions that have pre-
vailed in northern Mexico and some
of the many outrages perpetrated up
on Americans in that country and on
our own soil as well; recites the APP
parent indisposition on the part OF
Carrancista military forces to sup
press and punish the brigands and
murderers responsible for these out
RACES, and concludes with the state
ment that if the de facto government
continues to ignore this obligation
and carries out its threat to defend
it's territory by an appeal to arms
against the American troops, the
gravest consequences will follow.
While this government would
deeply regret such a result" says the
note, lit cannot recede from it's de-
termination to maintain it's national
rights and to perform its full duty in
preventing further invasions of the
territory of the United States and in
removing the peril which Americans
along the international boundary have
borne so long with patience and for
bearance.
The war department is preparing
for possible outbreak of hostilities
in Mexico and President Wilson has
called on the states of the Union to
hold their contingencies of the ma
tional guard in readiness for active
service on the border.

Movement Launched to Organize Mil.

Citizens to the number of several
hundred, including many ladies, at,
tended the meeting held at the
courthouse last night for the purpose
of taking steps to organize a military
company here. Frank K. Sims, cap
tain of Company E, First Louisiana
Regiment, in the Spanish-American
war, presided over the assemblage
and made a strong appeal to the
young men of the community to an
swer their country's call. Lieut..
Hines of Company E of Baton Rouge,
Louisiana National Guard, was pres
emit and explained the purpose and
duties of the state militia. Hon. Z.
N. Pugh delivered an eloquent adj
dress, urging the patriots of Ascen-
sion to rally to the colors now as they
did in 81 and '98, and talks were
made by Otto Mestayer and G. D.
Bentley. A muster roll was opened,
and sufficient number of enlist
ments were secured to form the
nucleus from which an excellent COM
pany can be developed. A quartette of
members of Company E of Baton
Rouge, including Otto Mestayer of
this city, who has taken an active
part in the movement to organize the
local company, were present in uni
form. Before the meeting army bu-
gle calls were blown by Capt Sims
