And SAFE.

The patriotic nature Of an investmeu:
" the Liberty Loan Bonds of 1917 is
omething that all Americans will con
der. The fact that in purchasing such
a bond the investor is lending his money

at, the noble purposes to which it IS

3crations to look on buying a Liberty

LOOKING AHEAD

CRUDE THOUGHTS FROM THE EDITORIAL PEN
The weekly Iberian. (New Iberia, La.) 1894-1946, 1917-04-07
THE RISE IN SUGAR.

The rise of about cent and a
half in sugar can hardly have sur
prlsed anybody who has work
ing knowledge of the facts. For
it has become palmer and palmer
that The European beet fields will
once more fail to contribute any
thing like their normal quota.
Not only so, but the use of "sugar
cards" throughout the Central
Empires implies that those coun
tries have no reserves to pour
forth when peace comes. From
which it follows. that the world
will, even after the war ends, re
main peculiarly dependent upon
the output of cane, And, again,
the disturbances in Cuba have
rendered the output of cane ex
ceedinly doubtful, for the near flu,
ture at least, Besides, the ten
deDcy of labor costs and similar
items is sharply upward in Cuba,
Porto Rico, Hawaii and elsewhere,
so that American producers would
have no cut-tbrOat competition to
face, if sugar were still in the free
list. And, in view of our treas
ury's present and prospective
wants, it is clear that the sugar
duty will be increased if any
change il made.
1t IS an i'll wind that blows no
man good and the radically alter
ed conditions means millions to
the Louisiana planters, who have
suffered SO enormously from the
elements, as well as from legisla
tive folly. At the same time. the
col sumer may console himself
with the thought that the growth
of his sugar bill is due to the war
and kindred developments, instead
of arising from purely artificial
causes. With another good year,
or two, the Louisiana planters, out
of debt and with sufficient cash to
finance necessary improvements iD
their manufacturing processes, can
prepare themselves TO Withstand
outside competition, on the basis
of the present tariff. The domes
tic industry, having survived a
prolonged crisis, deserves better
things. Aud the domestic indus
try's foes ought to consider what
must have happened to the domes
tic consumer if America had not
produced a million tons of cane
and beet sugar, with which to exc
out the foreign supplies.--Tlmes-
Picayune.

INTOLERANCE

most magnificent production of all

DDS of the worlds history, placed
in opposition with story of life
in America today, and with an EN-
bellishment of orchestral music
and of illustrative song beigbten
ed by theatrical effects and in sur
roundings to suggest flight III
fancy to other times and other
places.
The purpose of this spectacle IL
to show loves struggle through
out the ages, which Mr.. Grlfith
does by meaus of four parallel
stories. Ancient Babylon, Judea
of the time Of the Nazarene. Me
dieval Paris and a modern Ameri-
can city are The scenes of these
stories.
Such wonderful settings, it is
said, as were provided for the
showing of scenes in and about
the ancient city of Babylon are 40
m asslve and so complete in accu
rate detail as to stagger the i'm
agiDation. Tremendous battles
could not today be equaled in
ferceness of personal conflict.
When the Nazarene is seen in
the streets of Jerusalem there is
the vIsualzation, in reverent ar
tistry, of some of the worlds most
famed paintings. Then again the
horrors of the massacre of st.
Bartholomew are set forth with
the skill of q master in effects, aud
in surroundings that suggest the
actual period. The siege of Baby

OF one who has done big things in

PLAN PROPOSES SEED
AND FEED AT COST

Washington, Dec. president A
C. Townley of the National nonpart-
isan league has asked President
Wilson to urge upon congress an ap-
preparation of $5O,O00,0OO for the pur-
chase of seed and feed to be sold at
cost to farmers of the northwest who,
he said, are in financial straits be-
cause of the failure of crops in two
successive years. Mr.. Townley told
the president that the farmers in
North Dakota, Montana. Kansas, Ne
braska and parts of Oklahoma and
Minnesota, whom herepresented, had
answered the country's call for more
food by increasing their acreage this
year and that the failure of the en-.
larged crops had hit them heavily.
Added to that, he said, was shortage
of grass and feed, which compelled
the farmers to sell their cattle.
During the conference, Mr.. TOwnley
pledged the president the allegiance
of the northwestern farmers, declaring
that they desired to do everything
within their power to aid the govern
ment in the war.
Before going to the white house Mr.
Townley called on Food Administrator
Hoover and urged his support to re
lief measures for the northwestern
farmers.

President Believes All Matters
Should be Laid Aside for

PREPARATIONS MADE FOR
OPENING OF CONGRESS

Washington, Dec. 1.-President Will.
son believes congress should contine
itself almost entirely at the coming
session to legislation for the vigorous
prosecution of the war. He is expect.
ed to tell congress so in his opening
address, which will be delivered in
the hall of the house at 1890 o'clock
Tuesday. All arrangements we're made
today by the white house with Speak
er Clarke and Vice President Marshall
for the joint session at that hour. The
president continued at work on his
address today, transcribing his notes
into finished form, but the address
still will be kept open until the last
minute. He has asked all the cabinet
members to present memoranda on
possible legislation which they con-
slider vitality necessary for the sue.
cessful prosecution of the war, and
it is expected the president will out
line their recommendations with his
own, rather fully.
At informal conferences among con-
gressmen today the probable legisla-
tive program was discussed. The
usual appropriation bills, some already
in process of formation; fiscal legis-
lation, including new bond authorize
tions and revenue measures, and
trans portation and other problems are
regarded constituting the new work
/, expected to continue for many months.
Prohibition and woman suffrage con.
stitutional amendments will be pressed
early in the session.. :,
Taxation legislation, 1t IS expected
will be deferred for several months
