THE FIGHTING RoOsEvELTs.

Widespread sorrow and regret have
followed the announcement that
Lieut.. Quentin Roosevelt, one of the
four gallant sons of a gallant father,
former president Theodore Roose-
yelt.was killed in an aerial battle with
German aviators last week. The in
trepid young American fell in enemy
territory, where he was given burial
with military honors. Another OF
the Roosevelt boys, Capt. Archie, was
wounded in the arm several weeks
ago, and third member OF the
heroic group, Major Theodore Roose-
welt, Jr., received bullet in the
knee on Friday Of last week while
helping his men to clean out ma
chine gun nest Of Germans at the
village of Ploisy, which was captured
soon afterwards. Fortunately no
bones were broken, but it will take
six weeks to get Teddy, Jr., into
shape for return to the fighting line.
Lieut.. Kermit Roosevelt is the only
one of the former presidents sons
who has been fortunate enough to es-
cape unhurt so far, and he too has
seen active service on the battle
front

What Do You Noahbout This?

The following special despatch
from Baton Rouge appeared IN the
New Orleans Item of June 26 and

The money is to be raised by per

ssSenator Labarre spoke from the
standpoint of a practical mechanic
and said in his life he had built forty
ships. He declared he knew his reso-
luton would be regarded as joke
before he introduced it, but he want
ed to get it before the American peo-
Die and the government. He said It
was ridiculous that a single life
should be lost in crossing the ocean,
and that the barge he proposed would
prevent such loss, and that it could be
built in year and he would under,
take the task Of constructing it and
would not charge the government
cent for his services.

THE SENATORIAL CAMPAIGN.

Pointe Coupee is prolific of cam
paign managers, no less than three
of the prominent citizens of that par
ish having accepted such service IN
the pending contest over the Brous-
sard' succession. Speaker OF the
House Hewitt Bouanchaud and Dis
trict Attorney j. II. Morrison have
double-teamed for the direction OF
fine Edward j. Gay canvass, while
Hon. Ferd. G. Claiborne has accepted
the post of Country manager Tor
former Governor Luther r. Hall, 1t
being understood that each of the
three senatorial aspirants will have
a city manager specially charged with
supervision of his Interests in New
Orleans. Hon. Chas. O'Connor has
undertaken the latter task in behalf
of Gov. Hall, but the names OF the
citv managers for Messrs. Gay and
Oyerton have not vet been given out;
All Of the candidates have opened

JUDGE o'NIELL WITHDRAWs.

Acting upon the emphatic state
ment of his medical adviser that his
phvsical condition has been so seri-
ously impaired by hard work as an as
sociate Justice of the supreme court
of the state that a complete break
down Of health would be an almost in
evitable result Of an attempt on his
part to { iduct strenuous pS-lcal
campaign during the next two
months, Judge Chas. A. O'Niell has
announced his withdrawal from the
field as candidate for the Demo-
cratic nomination. to the United
States senate in opposition to Sena-
tor Joseph E. Ransdell.
The judges campaign manager,
Hon. Allan Sholars of Ouachlta,
conquered perforce in the decision OF
his principal, and in the circum-
stances. it is inconceivable that any
of the distinguished jurist's real
friends can do otherwise than ap-
prove his course.
While there will be general regret
for the cause that. superinduced
Judge O'Niell's withdrawal, and a
still more general hope that we'll
deserved period of rest will bring
about a thorough recuperation OF his
wonderful mental and physical en-
ergies, there can be no doubt that
his abandonment Of the senatorial
contest and the resultant assurance
Of the denomination and reelection
of Senator Ransden will be regarded
with satisfaction by the great mass
of the people Of Louisiana.
The opinions expressed IN the
Chiefs editorial columns last week IN
connection with Judge O'NielPs un,
expected announcement of senatorial
aspirations are unquestionabiy IN
consonance with popular sentiment
in Louisiana on the subject OF the
Ransdell senatorial succession, name
Ily: that by reasonof his many years
Of arduous, indefatigable and highly
successful service iii both the lower
and upper branches Of the national
congress, Senator Ransdell is better
equipped for the continuation OF this
service than any new man can posi-
| bly be, and that it would place thus
state at a distinct disadvantage to
| have two inexperienced senators at
washington, as would be the case IN
the event of the defeat of Senator
Ransdell for denomination.

THE GENERAL AsSEMBLY'S
WORK,

During the regular session Of the
general assembly Of Louisiana, which
expired by constitutional limitation
on the 18th Instant, a total Of ITS
acts were passed, covering the usual
great variety of sui1s ecss. 1t had
been cur intention to publish COM
alete list Of these measures by title,
but TIC conclusion has been reached
that the considerable amount of
space this matter would occupy can
be employed to better advantage
Otherwise. The New Orleans daily
papers all printed lists of the legis-
lative enactments which can easily be
produced for reference by those OF
our readers who may feel interested
in the subject.
From the Times pieayune's sum
mary of the general assembly's la
ors, appearing in the papers issues
Of july II and 10, it is learned that
there were 208 bills introduced in
the senate and 421 in the house OF
representatives, OF 629 IN all, Walch
is belsw the records Of the past
twelve years, due in large measure,
no doubt, to the fact that under
present rules bills must be intro
duced during the first thirty days OF
the general assembly's session.
Among the most important OF the
acts PASSED were those proposing
constitutional amendments, which
the Times-Picayune enumerates as
follows:
Comforting suffrage on women.
Permitting the legislature to app
propriate more than $4,000 a year
for the Southern University.
Fixing the state tax rate at three
mills on full valuation of property. !.
Relative to the first and second
city criminal courts of New Orleans.
Providing for. an interchange OF
district judges in the parish OF Or
leans.
Recurring the city Of New Or
leans to impose 2 IA mills and each
parish | 1-2 mills for school purposes.
Providing for retiring and pension
ing district judges. =,
Setting aside one-thlrd of mill
tax as a fund for the state education
al institutions.
Extending the time for construc-
ton of a bridge across the M1ssls-
sippi river at New Orleans.
Requiring each parish to impose
/ 1-2 mills for the support of public
schools.
Permitting corporations to con
struct irrigation and navigation
canals.
Governor Pleasant is quoted as
having declared himself very we'll
pleased with the results of the SEES
sion, and particularly with the pass
age OF all the bills appertainlng to
the Administrations fiscal program
which it is expected will greatly i'm
nroye assessment and taxation meth
DDS and the system of public edu-
cation in Louisiana. The governor
expressed the earnest hope that the
people would adopt all the proposed
constitutional amendments at the
November election.

BIG SALE OF SHOES.
Israel Store to Offer High-Grade
Footwear at Bargain Prices.

One of the most interesting and
important merchandising events
that has ever taken place in Donald
sonville will be the great clearance
sale Of shoes to be inaugurated at
the Israel Shoe Store in Railroad
avenue Monday next, the 18th inst,
continuing fifteen days. Several
thousand large posters announcing
the sale have been distributed
throughout the surrounding country,
and full-page advertisement setting
forth few of the many wonderful
bargains to be offered appears in to-
days Chief. There can be no doubt
that a very large number of people
will be attracted by this notable
event, and due preparations have
been made by Mr.. Israel to handle
the crowds.
There will be footwear for the en-
tire family, in an extensive variety
Of styles and complete assortment OF
sizes, and the unquestioned RELIABLE
ity and high standing of the Israel
store gives ample guarantee that all
the shoes will be of the very finest
quality and newest manufacture. Mr..
Israel makes the positive statement
that nothing will be held back; every
pair of shoes in the entire stock will
be on sale for fifteen days at prices
that in many instances will be ac-
tually less than the, cost of half-sol-
ing an old pair. His object in put
ting on this remarkable sale is two
fold: first, to show his appreciation
of the very liberal -,atronage that
has been accorded the Israel store
since its establishment, and in re-
ciprocation to give his friends and
customers an opportunity to effect a
considerable saving on their pur-
chases; and secondly, to introduce
his shoes to new patrons in way
that will give them particularly adj
vantageous acquaintance with the
quality and dependability Of his
splendid line of footwear. -:.s.s- 80
The sale will4hasin promptly at s
o'clock, Monday morning. Don't LEI
anything keep you away" Mr.. Israel
counsels, and this excellent advice is
herewith commended to the earnest
consideration of careful shoppers.

rHE ECONOMY or VICTORY.

No matter what this war costs the
government and the people OF the
United States in the way of money,
it is going to be much cheaper to win
this war than to lose it.
The commercial and financial losses
that would follow a German victory
are not to be calculated. All that we
spent would be lost, indemnities be-
yond calculation would have to be
paid, and along with these losses
would come continuing loss IN
foreign commerce that would spell
disaster.
With these material losses we
would lose our national liberty and
independence, our power to secure
our international rights, our right to
live in world ruled by the dictates
of humanity and civilization.

PREPARE For FALL GARDEN.
Nunerous Vegetables May Be Plant
ed in August and September.

: g tSz5ES#s
In view Of our immense response
=bilities in feeding the starving
world and ourselves, there can be no
let-up at this crucial period of the
battle. The least that can be ex-
pected Of the people of Ascension is
that they produce all they can in
their fall gardens, so that other sec
tions will not be called upon to feed
them.
If we are to put down a fall gar
den, it is necessary that prepare
lions be made at once. The growing
season at this time is very short, and
thorough preparation is required to
make the plant food available for
rapid and vigorous plant growth.
Those of us who wait until planting
time to prepare the soil may meet
with great disappointment.
August and September are the
planting months. Among the vege-
tables that can be planted now that
will mature in fall, winter and
spring, are: Cucumbers, collards,
tomato plants, pepper plants, rad
ishes, turnips, lettuce, cabbage, cauli-
flower, beets, onions, mustard, gar
den peas, globe artichokes, fall bush
beans, Irish potatoes, carrots, Brus-
sells sprouts and okra.
Our slogan: A fall garden for
every home. Respectfully,
j. o. MONTEGUT,
Parish Farm Agent.
