HAxx's OPINION OF PARKER.
Former Governor Makes Strong
Speech in Behalf of Col. Stubbs
at Lake Charles.

| Former Governor L. E. Hall de
livered his first speech in the present
campaign in behalf of Col. Frank ?.
Stubs at Lake Charles last Saturday
night, speaking on the same platform
as the colonel. There was large
audience present and he and Col.
Stubs were given most respectful
attention. Gov. Hall reviewed few
Of the incidents connected with his
administration and gave his reasons
for supporting Col. Stubs. In re-
! ferring to Mr.. Parker, Judge Hall
said that the charge that he had de-
serted him was too harsh.
"He just quit" said the speaker.
'When the time came to overthrow
the city ring, after my election as
govern or, Mr.. Parker's enthusiasm
Ihad waned, and he had begun to
think and dream about another party
| in Louisiana. He forgot the reasons
why the Democratic party existed IN
Louisiana. He forgot all the out
standing promises and pledges he had
made to the people Of Louisiana. lie
forgot the things which he should
have remembered and remembered
the things he should have forgot, his
Inability to take a stand and stay
there has made him unfit for the gov
ernorship. The exalted undlscriba-
BILE vanity you see as soon as. you
come in his presence has soured the
milk of human kindness in him so
that he has no feeling for others.
Mr.. Parker was making the same
speech four years ago and wearing
no mans collar, then as he is now.
It is a remarkable speech and he must
have some skill to make it last that
long and make it apply when run
n;ng as we'll on the Democratic tick
ct as on the Progressive. When you
take out the generalties there is
nothing left"
Judge Hall declared that this is
no time to experiment with any man
and especially with Parker. '1t IS
not possible to forecast what ne will
do for he does not know himself
Judging by the past, it elected, ne
will change his party and politics at
least twice during his term OF four
years" .-
The whole of southwest Louisiana
has been electrified politically by the
visit of Col. Stubbs and by the pow
erful arrangement of John M. Par
ker by Former Gov. Hall. @--

Rousseau's Garage New Home.

One of the most important COM
mercial real estate deals consumma-
ted in this city recently, was the pur-
chase yesterday by =. A. Rousseau,
the enterprising and wide-awake
proprietor of Rousseau's Garage,
from Holbrook & Griffon of the two
story brick building situated in Mis-
sissippi street, between Railroad ave-
nue. and Lessard street, and former
ly occupied by Maurin's Famous Blue
Store. The consideration of the sale
was $4,000. 1t is Mr.. Rousseau's in
tention to at once thoroughly remod-
ell and renovate the structure. The
building will be provided with all con-
veniences necessary in modern and
up-to-date garage and automobile
display and sales rooms. When COM
pleted, it will be one Of the most
commodious and well-appointed
places of the kind to be found any
where in the country. The new place
will be ready for occupancy by Jan
uary /, on which date Mr.. Rousseau
will remove therein from his present
location III the Vega building. Mr..
Rousseau is d very active and ener-
getic automobile agent, and has made
big success in that business. He is
local representative and sales agent
for the famous Oldsmobile, Chevro-
let and Mitchell cars, which arc
among the best on the markets and
which are always in great demand.
He has sold many of these cars in
this section and they have invariably
given entire satisfaction. One Of the
features of Mr. Rousseau's business
is that his cars are sold for imme-
diate delivery. He also handles full
line of secondhand automobiles. Mr..
Rousseau's investment is an indica
ton of his confidence in the future
of Donaldsonville, based upon the
splendid success which he has achiev-
ed here in business in the past, and
speaks we'll for the city as CONNER
cial center. The Chief congratulates
Mr.. Rousseau upon the spirit of en-
terprise and progress displayed by
him and extends to him cordial good
wishes for continuation in the fu-
ture in the magnificent business sue
cess which he has enjoyed here in the
past. ....

Carload of Fordsons.

K. A. Aucoin, proprietor of the
Donaldsonville Garage, received q
carload of Fordson tractors for
which he is the local agent this week
Mr.. Aucoin reports that these splen-
did little machines are selling like
hot cakes. He says that planters and
farmers in this section, as well as
throughout Louisiana, have come to
realize that they are the best for gen
eral use, an there is continually in
ereasing demand Tor them in all parts
OF the state. They do the work and
are dependable, and the low price at
which they sell is a special induce
ment to the buyers.

TO PAY FAIR DEBTS.
Meeting Of Business Men Recon-
mend Bond Issue of $4,000.

A largely attended and enthuslas-
tic meeting of members of the South
Louisiana Fair Association and busl-
ness men was held Thursday night at
the Elks' Home. The meeting was
called for the purpose Of devlsing
wars and means of raising money to
nav off the indebtedness of the asso-
citation.
After considerable discussion: it
was decided to issue bonds in the
5un of $4,000, of which $1,000 will
be used to pay off debts and the re-
.lailling $4,000 held in reserve as an
.mergency fund. The bonds to bear

the associations property, valued at
$4,000. II being understood that
no new buildings are to be erected
.hE the cpgppratipn until the entire II
issue Of bonds has been paid and re-
tired. The plan is generally corr
ceded to be splendid one, and the
most feasible and satisfactory method
of raising the needed funds. The
general impression prevails that no
difficulty will be experienced in
floating the bonds, as they will prove
a high grade security.
A committee Of four, composed Of
DR.. E. K. Sims, Jos. N. Gisclard, D..
B. Holbrook and Jas. P. Armitage,
was appointed to lay the matter be-
fore meeting Of the board of d.
rectors of the fair association to be
held tomorrow. 1t is confidently
hoped that the board will approve
and adopt the plan suggested by the
meeting and that the bonds will be
issued; the money raised, and the en-
tire Indebtedness Of the association
wiped out.

Warfield was cross examined at
some length as to the mutual insur-
ance fun maintained by Mckinley
lines to meet compensation, accident
and other claims. He said two and a
half per, cent of the company's gross
revenue went to this fund Attorneys
fees and court costs are paid from
the fund.
Under cross examination Warfield
produced records of the Topeka COM
pany to show that the percentage ex-
pense to the Mckinley interests were
less than similar expenses of other
companies. What is more" War
field asserted, 1--WE cannot find an in

Does Not Follow Congress.

London, June 11.-Secret negotia-
lions at Paris and the Lon-publication
of the treaty with Germany have been
denounced here so often that the
action of the United States in making
public the text of the treaty has been
given much prominence in the news
papers. 1t has been given sympathetic
comment by the London press. there
being in some cases sharp criticism of
President Wilson. Even the radical
Daily News, Mr.. Wilson's warmest adj
mirer among London journals, says:
1T must be unhappily admitted that
the president in his personal conduct
Of the task of peace making has made
fHany mistakes. When he succumbed
to the forces of secret diplomacy he
made his own first point open cove
nants openly arrived at sound like
nonsense. 1t is still possible he may
recover his position with congress and
The American people, but it is a most
desperate hazard"
The Graphic. making a similar
point against the president regrets
'the British parliament does not show
my sign of being equally as independ-
ent as the United States senate"
The Telegraph thinks the senate's
action may encourage Germany in the
hope for grave difference among the
allies, but does not see at present any
ground for believing the senate will
reject the treaty. The newspaper re-
cards the action of the senate as a
manifestation OF the universal dis
abstraction over the interminable
length of the proceedings in Paris.
The Post, which is an opponent of
he league of nations, assures Ameri-
ans that there is "as much suspicion
II the league here as in America"

linguistic minorities as brought out in
the Austrian treaty. A memorandum
attached to the communication de-
clares the reason for the appeal is the
pogroms being carried out in eastern
European countries.

The Solomon river at Beloit tops off
stage of % feet this morning. with
the report that the river is still rising.
1t has attained a stage of four feet
above bank full. Two days ago Flora

bank full stage will occur by tonight.
The Smoky Hill at Abilene will rise to

Trouble may occur at Camp Fun
ston. A stage Of from 20 to "a feet is

there will be no trouble at Funston
provided the leVee holds.
At Topeka the stage this morning
was 14.9. stage of Is feet is eX-
pected here. Bank full is 81 feet.
A two-inch rain west of here in the
Kansas river valley would put all the
rivers on a regular rampage. Showers
are predicted but Flora says that in
dications do not point to excessively
heavy rains. so a flood may be
averted.
At 6 o'clock this morning the tenn
perature here was 66 degrees. To-
morrow temperatures will range be-
