Mr.. Jno. G. Lindsay returned on
Wednesday from Claiborne county, Miss.
where he went soon after the break with
the Mound place mules and thorough
bred cattle and also the cattle and stock
belonging to DIR. V. NJ. Crothers of Au-
brey place. All live stock were in very
good shape when they returned and the
mules were put to work at once, as the
water is leaving the fields rapidly. Mr..
Lindsay has already started his plows and
will begin planting corn next week.
Similar operations have been inaugurated
on many other properties in the parish
that are now free Of water. The oat
crop, is showing up very good after its
long submergence and it is believed that
the bulk of the crop will be saved. On
the whole the situation is very encourag-
ing and so much better than we had an
ticipated that our people are rapidly
recovering their spirits and confidence is
fast returning and feeling Of optimism is
prevalent over the entire parish.

new ORLEANS GREAT DEMOCRATIC NEWS.
PAPER...TnE DAILY STATES.

1t is indeed a sad commentary,
hut unhappily true, that the great
metropolis OF the solid South-New
Orleans-should boast only one
Democratic newspaper. OF the three
dailies published in the Crescent
City the Daily States is the only
paper that advocates Democratic
government and supports the Dem
ocratic nominee for Governor of
Louisiana or ,upholds the Demo-
cratic national ADMINISTRATION, in
deed the greatest With: (which the
country has .bespsblessed since the
immortal LincBln vas SO unfortu-
nately called froms labor to rest,
from the effects Of which terrific
blow our beloved Southland was 10!
many long and weary years recov-
ering. We repeat the States is to-
day the only Democratic newspaper
in New Orleans, and is making a
sublime fight for continuance of
Democratic supremacy in this State.
That it deserves the liberal support
of all loyal Democrats in Louisiana
is universally acknowledged
Unfortunately for st. Joseph the
States is not easily obtainable here,
unlike its hostile neighbors, but we
are pleased to announce that the
st. Joseph Drug Co. is soliciting
subscriptions for this great Demo-
cratic paper, and same can hencs-
forth be found on their news coun-
tiers and it should receive. the lib
eral support of our people.

Wherever he speaks, the burden Of
John NJ. Parkes's song, is, that he is be-
ing opposed by the Office holders who are
afraid that they may be pried loose from
their jobs. This is the talk of mere DEM
agogue who tries to fool the people with
a lot of glittering generalities and rot.
How can John NJ. Parker, if elected
governor, pry any one loose from his
job? All offices are created by law and
it takes the law-making body to do away
with them, so Mr.. Parker can and will do
no more than any other governor has done
or could do, unless he thinks he will be
the whole show or both the executive and
legislative branches OF the government
at the same time. He claims that he is
goipg to do away with useless offices and
reduce. salaries, but seems to be afraid
TO mention one single case where he will
apply the pruning knife.

evl. EWING AND WHITE SUPREMACY.

The attempt of the New Orleans Item
to show that Col. Robert Ewing, owner
OF the New Orleans Daily States and
the Shreveport Times, and Democratic
National Committeeman from this State,
is and has been opposed to white
supremacy, simply Secause the Colo.
mel, on one occasion, or several, we
don't care how often, hired negro band,
is about as foolish as to say that any man
is opposed to white supremacy because
he hires negro servant. But such argu-
ments are in keeping with the absurd
statements generally found in the Item.
But If the hiring of negro band proves
the employer to be opposed to white
supremacy, then for goodness sake what
can the Item say about it's man Parker,
the boon companion OF one Teddy Roose-
welt, 30 devoted to Roosevelt that he fore
swears the faith of his ancestors to join
the party Of his friend at his first call 4?
And what is Roosevelt's position on the
question? We can best answer the ques-
ton by reproducing what Booker T.
Washington had to say on page Us oil
his book, "My Larger Education"
"When ! reached Mr.. McKinlay's
house l found an invitation from Presi-
dent Roosevelt asking me to dine with
him at the White House that evening at
eight o'clock. At the hour appointed
went to the White House and dined with
the President and members of his family
and a gentleman from Colorado. After
dinner we talked at considerable length
concerning plans about the South which
the President had in mind. l left the
White House almost Immediately and
took a train the same night for New
York.
When Booker Washington dined with
Roosevelt, he lowered himself in our esti-
nation, but it was impossible for Roose-
welt to do SO, and We can not see how
such papers as the Item can rail against
others and try to prove others the OPP
ponent OF white supremacy and continue
to support Parker, the intimate friend and
boon companion of man who went on
record, not only as placing himself on
an equality with the negro, but also OF
placing his family on the same plane.
The faith of the New Orleans bosses in
this particular was tried and proven
many years ago, when some of the best
men of this parish we're being prosecuted
by the National Government for alleged
election frauds in an attempt to place the
government OF this State in the hands of
the white people, where it naturally be-
longs. At that time, our people had no
better friends than the Ward Bosses of
the city OF New Orleans. Col. Ewing has
always stood for the white man, and go
have the Bosses, and the attempt of the
Item to say or prove the contrary is
absurd and ridiculous, and will prove a
veritable boomerang to Mr.. Parker.

BOARD OF EDUCATION, ALIAS
JAKEY LOEB, DOESN'T GIVE
TEACHERS A CHANCE
Our mysterious board of education
met again yesterday. One faction of
the board, the Jacob Loeb crowd,
showed that there had been a secret
meeting when things had been franz
ed because not one of them, except
the ringleader and Trustee Peterson,
would vote for or against teachers
fired during the summer.
The hush" system worked fine.
When a resolution was put up to
them, the Loeb faction, with the two
exceptions, would pass. Then there
wouldn't be enough votes to do any
thing. The Loeb bunch were Trus-
tees Eckhart, Young, Piggott, HoI-
pUch, KrUetgen, Mrs. Vosbrink, Mrs.
Thornton, Mrs. Sethness, Loeb, his
self and Peterson. They stalled every
attempt to put the teachers back on
the job or give them a fair trial be-
fore dismissing them after years of
satisfactory service.
Lead by Max Loeb, the following
voted to aid the jobless teachers who
were fired although they were given
efficiency ratings above fair: Collins.
Lipsky, Huehl, Otis, Warning, Mrs.
MacMahon, ClemensOn and Mrs. Gal
lagheT.
Trustee Peterson made himself a
puzzle. He said he wanted to give
the teachers a trial, but voted against
every motion to give them a chance.
Peterson hires union labor in his
printing shops. But the typograph-
ical- local is one of the strongest in
the country. Peterson is a Mason.

about two bushels of wheat and it now
takes less than one bushel; it then
took three-fourths of cord Of wood,
and it now takes one-third Of cord.
The Enterprise also cost them about
twice as many chickens, twice as much
pork, twice as much beef. AS COM

ANTIQUITY Of CHEESE.
Tho Bible Mentions It, ~ Do Homer
and Other Early Writers.

and Other Early Writers.
Cheese and curdling Of the milk are
mentioned in the book of Job. David
was sent by his father. Jesse, to carry
ten cheeses to the camp and to look
how his brother Jared. Cheese of
kline" formed part of the supplies of
David's army at Mahanaim during the
rebellion Of Absalom.
Homer says that cheese formed part
Of the ample stores found by Ulysses
in the cave of the Cyclop Polyphemus.
Euripides, Theocritus and other early
poets mention cheese. Ludolphus says
that excellent cheese and butter were
made by the ancient Philippians. and
Strabo states that some of the ancient
Britons were so ignorant that though
they had abundance of milk. they did
not understand the art Of making
cheese.
There is no evidence that any Of
these ancient nations had discovered
the use of rennet In making cheese.
They appear to have merely allowed
the milk to sour and subsequently to
have formed the cheese from the case
Gus part Of the milk after expelling the
serum or whey.
As David when too young to carry
arms was able to run to the camp
with ten cheeses. ten loaves and an
ephah of parched corn, the cheeses
must have been very small.
