SATURDAY, MARCH Is, 1916.
SUGAR BILL PASSES THE HOUSE

By the overwhelming vote of 346
yeas to IA nays the lower house of
congress on the 10th instant passed
the administration bill repeating the
clause of the tariff act of 1913 un-
der which the tariff on imported su-
gar and molasses is to be discontinued
on and after May /, 1916.
The negative vote was cast by thir-
teen Democrats and one Socialist.
In his argument closing the debate
on the pending measure, Majority
Leader Kitchin candidly admitted that
the sole cause for the repeal of the
free-sugar clause was the falling off
of the governments income because
of the European war conditions, and
the absolute necessity of providing
adequate revenues to meet the outlay
for public purposes.
The senate finance committee was
ready to report the repeal bill favor
ably on Wednesday, but action was
delayed at the urgent request of Sen
ator Hardwick of Georgia, who de-
sires to present an argument against
the measure before the committee.
1t is not anticipated that this de-
lay, accorded through the powerful in
fiuence of senatorial courtesy" will
affect the final passage of the bill be-
fore the 1st of May. The vote in the
senate may not show as large COM
parative preponderance in support of
the repeating measure as was record
ed in the lower house, but no doubt
is felt that the bill will pass the SEN
ate by decisive majority.

THE MEXICAN INVASION.

A strict censorship over reports
concerning the movement of United
States troops in Mexico having been
established for prudential reasons, in
order that Villa and his followers may
not be thus enabled the more easily to
evade pursuit and capture, it is to be
expected that a flood of sensational
and unfounded rumors will find cir
culation through the press and other
news mediums, hence it will be well
for the public to take with liberal
modicum of salt the accounts Of start
ling events likely to occupy much
newspaper space during the pendency
of the American operations on Mex
lean territory.
1t is plain there have been no oc-
'currences of Importance beyond the
border up to this time, but there can
be no question that the gravest COM
piications are possible of development
at almost any moment. Mexican
agitators will do their best to arouse
hostile sentiment among the people Of
that country against the United
States, and it is impossible to foresee
to what extent the relations between
Mexico and this country may be af
fected by this agitation.

GREAT FIRE LOSSES.

During the tWenty-four hours be-
tween Tuesday and Wednesday nights
Of the past week a remarkable series
Of large and destructive fires took
place in different parts of this coun-
try.
The most disastrous of these con-
flagrations occurred at Paris, Texas,
where some 1000 residences and
nearly every business house in the
city were destroyed, entailing a fl
nancial loss of $10,000,000 and rem
dering 5000 people homeless, All the
hotels, restaurants and newspaper of
fees were burned and three persons
lost their lives. Organization has
been effected in the stricken city for
the relief of the destitute victims of
the disaster, and tents, provisions and
clothing were being received by every
incoming train on Wednesday.
In East Nashville, suburb of the
Tennessee capital, a fire that started
from burning ball of yarn thrown
into the dry grass on a vacant lot by
little boy, swept over thirty-five
blocks, destroying 600 buildings,
mostly residences, rendering 5000
people homeless and involving a
loss of S1,500,000.
At Augusta, Ca, fire that broke
out in the Dyer building on the main
business street of the city Wednesday
afternoon, was driven furiously by
high wind and had consumed proper
ty valued between S5,000,000 and S.
100000 up to the time the final press
reports were telegraphed that night, |
when the flames were still raging.
A fire in the Drumright oil field, /
near Tulsa, Okla, swept four Sec
ions of oil leases, burning sixty we'll
'lgs and large quantity of crude !
NJ, valued together at about $780,
100.
On the same fateful day Mckinney,
Texas, had a 100000 fire; Chat
Tenn, and Natchez, Miss,
ost each $4,000 worth Of property,
nd prairie fires caused similar loss in
gestern Kansas. Fairfax, Ca, also
ad a $4,000 blaze.
The aggregate Of property loss re-
ulting from these disasters is esti-
lated between SIS, 900, 600 and s19,-1I
100000.

Simplex Automobile Trailer.

F. Fl. Allen wishes to announce that
he has accepted the agency for the
Simplex Automobile Trailer. Mr..
Allen sold one of these trailers to the
L. S. U. Creamery of Baton Rouge,
and they write him as follows:
Trailer received and now in use.
We like it very much and believe it
will prove all it is advertised to be.
If interested in sending prospective
customers to the University to see
our trailer operate, we will be glad
to accommodate you in this way

Mr.. Allen has one of these trailers
on exhibition in his garage and would
be pleased to show it to his friends.
Look for that key!

Poverty Versus Piety.

The publisher Of the Delhi Progress
has suspended the paper, ostensibly
because he wishes to devote all his
time to the ministry, calling into
which he recently backslid from the
non-sectarian editorial pulpit. Judg-
ing by the following significant ex-
cerpt from the pious publishers swan
song, we strongly suspect that lack of
lucre as well as excess of piety led to
the change of professions:
"We would thank all those who are
indebted to the Delhi Progress to call
and liquidate their Indebtedness. You
who owe us know it, and it is useless
for us to continually present you with
a bill, and receive smile. Smiles
are all right but they don't pay bills.
Don't force US to use legal methods
to collect from you and add this ex-
pense to your long standing account"

NJ. Parker's candidacy, urging the
voters present to assert their inde-
pendence and help redeem the state
from boss rule. Parker clubs are be-
ing organized in each ward of the par
ish, and st. James may be counted in
the Parker column, Notwithstanding
the claims of the opposition.

Caddo Goes Dry Again.

Another election on the liquor ques-
tion was held in Caddo parish March
2l, and the anti-saloonists were vic
torious by 1858 majority. The vote of
the cpy of Shreveport showed lao
majority for licensing saloons, but
the country wards registered a ma
jority of sos against the proposition.
Col. Pleasant and Lieutenant Cover
nor Barret both voted against the sa-
looms, and Mr.. Barret was one of the
speakers at jollifieation meeting fol-
lowing the announcement of the re-
suit of the election.
