TRYING TO GET TOGETHER
RAIDS and Bull Moose at Chicago
Busy Comforting.

Chicago, June 9-Theodore Roose-
welt seized the first opportunity
Thursday to break his silence at
Oyster Bay, whereupon things began
to happen at Chicago, and last night
the Republican and Progressive par
ties took steps on their way to har-
mony.
A ''loaded" committee is already
at work to iron out the differences
between the two parties; and the
only casualties thus far have been
among the Western Progressives of
the Murdoch stripe. They realize
that Perkins and his Wall street
friends, with the apparent consent
of Roosevelt are determined to stake
all on putting up one amalgamated
candidate to oppose Woodrow Will
son, and they see evidences on all
sides that the candidate will be
Charles E. Hughes, whom they
scorn. They may nominate Roose-
welt Friday or Saturday, in spite of
conferees of the Republican con-
vention, but well-advised men pre-
dicted last night that Roosevelt will
decline the nomination.
When the harmony conferees ad-
journed early Friday morning they
had decided that the Republican
convention should proceed to ballot
ing as soon as possible in order to
determine as soon as possible in or
der to determine the relative
strength of the candidates. During
the balloting the Conference Com
mittee is to meet again.
The favorite son leaders were
highly pleased with this decision, be-
lieving that it gives them a fresh
chance to eliminate Charles E.
Hughes in favor of Philander C..
Knox, of Pennsylvania, as one of
their own number. Hughes leaders
declared they will be able to nomi-
nate unless Roosevelt makes a state
ment inimical to their candidate in
the meantime. The Progressive con-
ferees agreed to attempt to prevent
a nomination in their convention by
informing the Bull Moose delegates
that their choice is already known.
After the Republican National
Convention had declared elected all
National Committeeman except in
cases where contests had been filed,
friends of j. w. McCulloch, of Ow-
ensboro, who was defeated by A. t.
Hert, of Louisville, for this honor,
pressed their fight, saying notice of
contest had been given in this case
and that it would be taken up after

The streets of Stanford have been
drenched by rain almost every day
since the big car of oil arrived, so

devotion and attention to her mother
during her long illness was beauti-

COTTON SELLS FOR
FABULOUS PRICES
16 Gents and Over The Price Paid
in ST. Landry During the
Eearl Days OF October

Never in the history Of the cot
ton industry of st. Landry, or at
least, not since the oldest resident
of this parish can remecber, has
cotton sold for i6 and Is cents q
pound during the early days 0f
October. That price was reached
on last Wednesday, when tie mar
ket began going up.
It is pity indeed that the crop
Of this parish did not turn out as
at first expected, but despite ali of
that it is said that the farmers Of
st. Landry are better rixed this
year than at any time since the ad-
vent OF the dreaded boil weeyil.
Sixteen cents cotton has aided very
materially in readjusting finanlial
affairs in this parish; many farm
ers who were behind for the past
six or seven years are now Jit Of
debt and in many instances have
money in the opelousas banks.
What is remarkable also, ii the
act that there are some uho cling
firmly to the belief that cotton win
demand i8 cents a pound By the
first Of November, and acting aCs
cordingly are holding out FOR the
higher price. There are not many
however, WHO are in this Tx, the
majority desiring to dispose Of this
priceless staple at is and is cents
a pound.
It was feared for while that the
cotton crop in this parish would be
miserably short but report from
every corner Of this parish, indi-
cate that normal crop will be
harvested; some even venture 10
say that the crop OF 1916 will be
larger than that of 1915.

EuJNICE WEARS ANOTHER
FEATHER IN HER CAP
II will Not Be Very Long Before
Opelousas and This City Will
BE Connected by Model Roads

The progressive people OF Eu-
nice are wearing another feather
in their cap. On account of their
determination to make Eunice one
of the best towns in the South, de-
spite the fact that they were at
one time turned down by the po-
lice jury, appeared before that body
on last Monday, and once amore
pleaded for the cause OF good roads.
Now a road paralleling the Frisco
Railroad from LaWtell to Eunice is
assured; the people of the Eunice
section had promised themselys to
vote a special tax for That pur-
,, pose, and as E,lnice usually gets
whatever she goes after, it is con-
ceded that it will not be long be-
fore one will be able to go from
here to the important western St
Landry town in a jiffy over a mod
ern road.
1t has been the desire of the pro-
gressive .citizns of Eunice and Ope-
Iousas, for a number Of years, te
connect these two places by mean:
of modern road. Now that hops
is soon to be reaG led
i Eunice is fast growing into
little city; the farmers all arolnf
the progressive town feel that tht
| future holds brighter things fol
Eunice, and for that reasor the.
will not hesitate to vote a spe,.ia
tax for the purpose Of giving En-,
| nice q good model highway. which
traverses the richest part oi tlli
parish.

ficitst; but we want a budget made
which will show how much the
state needs to maintain its several
departments and functions: and an
assessment that will make all tax
payers pay a full and equal share
of that revenue.
AS for he objection that the
members of the board are not elec-
ted by the voters and are not dl-
rectly responsible to them, expert
ence has shown how necessary it
is to give control of the assess
ment to men who do not have to
court popular favor to get elected,
but who are possessed of the abil-
ity and technical knowledge neces-
sary to make a correct assessment.
Elective assessors almost inevitably
appeal to the voters to keep them
in office by cultivating popularity,
and there is no safer way for this
than to keep assessments down.
This has been the principal bug
bear we have had to face.
We have tried nearly every
other plan to improve our assess
ment system and have been unable
to accomplish any actual advance,
and the present amendment is born
Of this past experience in Louisiana
and throughout the Union. It IS
the only way we can get the dlf-
ficuity Strengthened out: that will
provide enough money to support
the state and its institutions. that
win make taxation just, equal and
uniform: that will prevent deficits
and extraordinary taxes. The GOOD
resulting from the amendment Will
outweigh q hundred-f fold some OF
the conditions not altogether paia-
table. but to which we must sud-
nit in order to put Louisiana ON a
proper footing in all these matters
