ter it had grown by leaps and bounds in the preceding forty years.
 Their cause is championed by the big millers and distillers, who would be willing even to see the bars let down to agricultural products from the Balkan states if duties were so ad- justed that they could compete in Ger man markets. The wood industry. in. cluding the manufacture of articles made of wood, have always felt the cramping effects of protective duties aimed at them. They would be glad to see an agreement tomorrow by which the bars would be let down mu- tually.
 Opposing them stand the textile and ron interests of Hungary. The for mer have for decades deplored the lack of sufficiently high protective duties. The government has tried to nelp them by means of subsidies. but it has been only partial help, for their competitors have been Austrian and German firms that have been es- tablished for scores, if not hundreds, of years. firms that long ago had paid up their original capital out of their profits and that today have even the advantage of superior efficiency be- cause families for generations have worked for them and know the work as few others.
 The iron industry feels the need of protection especially keenly because of the physical situation in Hungary. In one far corner of the monarchy lies the coal that is their raw mater ial; in almost the opposite corner lies the coal that they must have. The mere work of bringing the two to gether in the smelters puts the pro ducers at a disadvantage that is enor- nous when they must compete with Germany with it's products close to- gether, and it's highly organized sys- tenn.
 The talk of hitting upon an ideal commercial agreement which every. one will accept, whereby the German and Austrian governments will agree on the one hand to the reduction ot some of their duties, and yet not op pose an increase in certain other Hun garian duties. is so difficult that the more philosophical at least of Hun garian statesmen despair of ever ac complaining it.

sas and Garden City will begin at
four o'clock sharp.
1t is expected that a large num-
Der of people throughout the par
ish and surrounding country will
come to Opelousas for the occasion
and it is believed by the promoters
of the parade that the affair will be
a bowling success. It is argued
that the Elks usually succeed in
whatever they take up and that
this event will far surpass all ex-
pectations.
All the banks will be closed in
honor of the birth Of the United
States and it would not be at all
improbable that a number of bust
ness houses close during the hour
of the parade, at least.
July Fourth, especially at this
time, recalls history of the heroes Of
the past, with visions Of future
heroes before the mind of the pop
1llace of the United States. Prac-
tically every city in the United
States of any consequence is
planning to fttingly observe Inde-
pendence Day and it is not at all
out of place for opelousas to put its
best foot toward for that day.

JUP. pLUVIUS BREAKS UP
PRETTY GAME OF BALL
Opelousas Emerged Victorious In
Six Inning Contest With Kinder

Old Jupiter Pluvius broke up the
prettiest game of baseball seen in
this city for many years, when he
interrupted well played and close
contest between Opelousas and the
sfugging nine, which represents
Kinder on the baseball map.
At the last half Of the sixth in
ming the rain came down in torrents
for few minutes, just long enough
to frighten the slim crowd and to
wet the grounds, when Opelousas
had one run to the good, having
prevented Kinder from crossing the
pan.
The game was a yeritable pitch
ers' battle, but Bienvenu of the To-
Gals, who was touched for two
scratch hits, was master of the sit
uation, although Gillian, of Kinder,
also pitched beautiful game. The
local boy. however. on two occa-

An immediate clash with Mexico

WORK ON PARISH FAIR
GROUNDS TO START SOON
New Sheds and Other Improve
ments to Be Made for Fair to
Be Staged Here i'm October

DR.. r. M. Littell, president Of the
st. Landry Farmers Fair Assoeia-
ton, is busy planning for the erec-
ton of additional sheds at the fair
grounds; he anticipates making
other necessary improvements to
take care of the large exhibits to
be brought to the October fair.
DR.. Littell who proved beyond
doubt his ability TO conduct a suc-
.cessful fair enjoys the cooperation
of the farmers Of st. Landry, who
are responsible for the erganiza-
tion of a fair association on a finan-
ciaI basis; the popular head of the
fair association is also being backed
to a large extent by the business
people of this city.
1t is the plan of the promoters of
the fair to make October's agricul-
tural show the best thing of its kind
ever staged by single parish in
Louisiana. Farmers, cattle and hog
raisers throughout the parish have
signiffed their intention to bring
the best ION the farm to Opelou-
sas on October 5, s, 7, and s.
The live stock department will
be so strongly represented that the
matter of providing enough shelter
lis to be some problem with DR..
Littell, but an attempt will be made
to have enough erected to take
care of all who come.
DR.. Littell will arrange an auc-
ton day, which will no doubt prove
very popular, in which event it is
the hope of the promoters of the
parish fair to have an annual auc-
ton day at each parish fair.
The fair eatalogs have been
printed and many have been dis
tributed but DR.. Littell urges all
those who have not received any
to communicate with him and one
will be forthcoming Immediately.

A. D. STEWART ORGANIZING
End LOUISIANA REGIMENT
Former st. Landry Representative
Is Honored by Adiutant
General McCrory

Major Alfred D. Stewart, who has
been authorized by Adjutant Cen
eral McCrory to raise the Second
Louisiana regiment Of infantry, is
trained soldier Of many years ex-
perience. Though a native of Ken
lucky he has been so long identi-
fed with Louisiana, and particu-
Iarly with New Orleans, as to right
fully consider this his home in all
most every sense. He is 46 years of
age, born in Kadiz, Trigg county,
KY, and a man of commanding
presence and affable manners.
Since he was f6 years of age
Major Stewart has been identified
with military commands, and has
served in all the positions of COM
missioned officers. When the war
with Spain came in 1898 it found
Major Stewart in the militia ser
vice of his native state, and he went
into the volunteer service as first
lieutenant of infantry volunteers,
and served for two years in Cuba
under the command of Colonel
Thos. j. Smith,of Bowling Green,
KY, being mustered out with an en-
dorsement services honest and
faithful" on his discharge papers.
Major Stewart came to New Or
leans Immediately after the war
and has been at home in New Or
leans ever since. For the past two
years he has been manager OF the
Cosmopolitan Hotel, and has the
credit Of having made a paying
venture of that hostelry. His busi-
ness as a boniface has thrown
Major Stewart in contact with the
leading men Of Louisiana, and this
wide acquaintance led to his cleo
tion as a member of the General
Assembly under the late admins
tration from st. Landry parish
Upon his popularity in the coun-
try parishes is largely built the
conviction that the Second Louis
lana will be speedily at full
strength, and his wide circle oi
friends in the city and the popu-
| larity of the line officers in New
Orleans engaged in forming new
companies warrant their friends II

JUDICIAL OFFICERS TO BE
THEORETICALLY OPPOSED
Payton r.. sandoz Says that Both
Judge Pavy and Attorney
Garland Will Have Opposition

peyton r. Sandoz, who has been
mentioned frequently as a possi-
bic candidate against Judge B. Il.
pavy, in statement to the editor
of the Clarion states in most en-
phatic language that both Judge B.
II. Pavy and District Attorney r.
Lee Garland will be opposed.
En- his statement Mr.. Sandoz says:
III have been so persistently APP
pealed to by the people all over the
district for information as to
whether or not there would be OPP
position to Judge Pavy and District.
Attorney Garland at the September
primary that, possibly, some pub
lie statement from me may be ex-
pected. You may assure your
readers, and quote me as your au-
thority, that both Judge 5Pavy and
District Attorney Garland will be
actively and energetically opposed
at the primary election in Sep
tember."
For the past several weeks ru-
mors of various candidates for ju-
dicial offices were afloat, but as
yet no one has fully made up his
mind to battle against the present
incumbents, Judge Pavy and Dis
trict Attorney Garland. A report
from Evangeline had it that Sam
Gardiner, a young lawyer ef Vile
Platte, had his eye on Lee Gar
lands scalp; it is understood that
John w. Lewis will probably get in
the mix-up, while Peyton Sandoz
has been looked upon for some
time as the likely candidate for
judge. In fact, during the recent
sheriff campaign, it was said, that
James w. Lewis, at a Eunice
meeting for Sheriff Swords, had in
troduced Mr.. Sandoz as '.the next
judge of this judicial district =

exist between the two countries,
General Funston has not ceased
making all the necessary provisions
for an invasion Of the southern re-
public.
The Mexicans were highly indig-
nant at the release of the American
prisoners, but Carranza, realizing
what the President had said, de-
cided it was for the best of his
country to comply with the wishes
of the United States.
Is is not known whether General
pershing will remove his entire
army on this side of the Rio Grande,
as it is not at all likely that Uncle
Sam will allow his men to with
draw from the southern republic
at this stage of the game.
In the meantime the National
Guards of every state have been
modified, several of the states be-
ing represented on the Mexican
border, and if war is declared, by
the time the decision is made the
United States forces will be suffi-
GENTLY trained for successful and
raDid invasion of Mexico.

PROGRESSIVE PARTY
DIES NATURAL DEATH
Theodore Roosevelt Announces His
Intention of Supporting Hughes
PARKER REFUSES TO GO
TO THE REPUBLICAN CAMP
Louisiana Man Nominated for Vice
President ON Bull Moose Ticket
VIII Not Support Justice

The progressive party, which was
born in Chicago, on August I, 1912,
when Theodore Roosevelt and fol-
lowers, bolted the republican con-
yention, because it would not nomi-
nate him for president, is virtually
dead. The creator and founder OF
the most powerful baby party has
gone back to the republican fold,
leaving the men who fought bitter
ly for him at the 1912 and 1916 pro-
gressive conventions, to fight their
own battles, but urging them to
support Justice Hughes for presi-
dent.
John Parker, of Louisiana, who
was nominated for vice president
by the progressive convention at
Chicago the early part of June, has
refused to follow his chief into the
republican camp, stating that the
republican leaders are selfish and
have no consideration for the de-
sires Of the other members of their
party. He, however, says that he
will strive to keep up the progress
sive party, despite the fact that he
will be forced to support the dem-
ocratic ticket.
In refusing to follow Roosevelt
INTO the republican party, John Ne.
Parker is being consistent with his
political views during the recent
gubernatorial campaign. His local
friends feel that he has done ex-
aetly what could be expected of
him, and like him, those who were
going to vote for Roosevelt and
Parker, will support Woodrow vii
son.
