THE PEACE TREATY.

When the ex-Kaiser reads the
Treaty of Peace he will realize that
the world has fully decided reigns
like his must cease. Alsace-Lor-
raine will give to the ex-Kaiser and
his breed much pain. Reparation OF
the wrong done in I'll proves the
great victory the Allies won.
Section 4, European political class
es, means independent rule by the
masses.
Section 5, referring to China, Tur-
key, Egypt, Bulgaria, Shantung and
Morocco, will put an awful dent in
Bills coco.
Limitations Of armaments in Sec
ton 6 is going to put the would-be
War Lord and his nation in hell Of

Persons accused of having COM
mitted acts in violation Of the laws
and customs of war and morality
have been given a full dose of their
own brutality.
After reading Section Z, we know
why the devil said the Kaiser would
never get to Heaven.

SUPPORTS EDUCATION LAW

Editor st. Tammany Farmer:
Doubtless many of your readers
have read with interest certain let
ters concerning the compulsory edu-
cation law.
Sometimes we are amazed when We
see such splendid laws enacted for
the general benefit of all mankind,
and are soon astounded to see with
what contempt they are looked upon
by the same people that these laws
were intended to have benefited.
Justice is so sadly and SO badly
perverted sometimes until we are re-
minded of the proverbial Irishman
who, upon having been hailed into
court for some offense, was soon dis
covered by his attorney to be much
excited, Whereupon he was advised
not to fear that he would get justice.
Patrick replied that was what he
feared Again we are reminded Of
certain words of Holy Writ, namely,
why are laws made but to be OBJ
served" We had hoped that when
the compulsory law was enacted in
this state it would surely solve the
school attendance problem and would
have had the good law. been enforced
and without favor toward any.
| am not an officer of the law
neither do l aspire to be, however,
It does not require the wisdom of
Soloman to see how futile it is to ex-
pect progress and enlightenment
when means at hand are not utilized.
This is not written to -discredit or
to attract any one. Perhaps many
are to be blamed for the many evils,
particularly the miscarriage of JUS
tice. Many are beginning to recog-
nize the greater need Of certain kinds
of education and higher civilization
for new dispensation has dawned.
| am not among those who claim that
education alone will remedy all the
evils of our day, but am in favor of
enlightenment and progress along
every line of thought. Ignorance
and prejudice and often superstition
block the way.
We trust that the good intentioned
people will cooperate with Mr. Lyon
and others in authority to make the
educational law success.
With kindest regards toward all
and malice toward none, | am,
J. E. BLACKWELL.

RICE GROWERS
AWAIT REPORT
COMMITTEE

The meeting of the rice growers
of St. Tammany and adjoining par
ishes for the purpose of considering
the erection of rice mill here was
enthusiastic, even though every step
takes was a cautious one. Data
gathered shows that yield of 5000
bags may be harvested this year.
Ten bags per acre IS the yield
where but little fertilizer is used.
There are tens of thousands of acres
of cut over land here at $40 per acre
easily irrigated and easily drained.
$3.50, 900 Will soon be spent on the
highways. There are two railroads
and boat line to Covington, all or
which will make the handling of
rough rice to the mill and the ship
ping of the finished product not only
possible but reasonable in freight
rates. The acreage planted to rice
will continue to increase. The mill
could darw on other sections also.
The next meeting of the growers
will be the last day of May, when it
is expected to have some expert rice
mill men present to discuss the prop
osition with the growers and local
fnanciers. The meeting will be at
1890 a. m. at the courthouse.
Mr.. W. E. Morriss was made chair
man Of committee to report within
a week.
Mr.. James J. Lewis was prevented
from attending the meeting because
of illness and writes Mr. Warner,
president of the Association of Com
merce, that he will be present at any
meeting we may designate, and be-
lieTes other rec men will be inter-
ested.

ITEMS OF INTEREST AT JAHNCKE
SHIPYARDS IN MADISONVILLE
By D. H. Vinet.

The many friends of Mr.. Jos. Ro-
tolo are delighted to know that he
has been appointed by the U. S.
Shipping Board to the very re-
sponsible position of Chief Engineer,
S. S. Pontchartrain. The purpose of
his appointment previous to her de-
livery by builders is for observation
Mr.. Rotolo is another of Madison
Ville's citizens who possesses the
necessary qualifications to do big
things. He has long piled his pro-
fession on steam vessels navigating
the waters of Lake Pontchartrain
and tributaries with success. 1t
seems that among the citizenry of
Madisonville the government can
find a man for every emergency in
the way OF maritime requirements.
Mr.. Robt OIBrien, employed at
the Jahncke Shipyard for more than
a year in supervisory capacity, we
are sorry to announce is ON the sick
list in New Orleans We hope that
he will soon recover his usual good
health and return to service with the
same vim, vigor and victory spirits
that is predominant in his make up.
Mr.. O'Brien is one among the many
Orleanians who came here at the
outbreak of the war to help make
this yard 100 per cent efficient.
The Misses Myrtle Gollehou. Bon-
lie Mae Smith and Master Victor Oul-
liber, of Madisonville, graduated
from the Covington High School with
very high averages of efficiency
Their parents are old citizens of this
town and we heartily congratulate
them on the accomplishments of their
children. With the preparedness Sc
cured by close application to the
problems through which they have
so successfully passed, there should
be no doubt as to their future sue
cess in life.

ALDERMEN
CHEER De VALERA

CHICAGO, July 15-Eamonn Re
Valera, president Of the Irish repub-
lie, was enthusiastically received
when he addressed the city council
here yesterday prior to his departure
for San Francisco.
THE question for America to de-
eide" said Mr.. de Valera, in address
ing the council, lis whether it will
stand with might or with right;
whether it will do as it always has
done and support freedom against
military domination.
Some of the peace conferees are
quoted as opposing our Irish indie
pendence. They even want the treaty
to confirm England in her posses
sions, even those which were obtained
by force. Whatever the peace con-
ference has done, the Irish people will
not yield; they will refuse to obey
British law. and, as President Wilson
has pointed out, law is powerless
when public opinion is against it
A large crowd last night partici-
pated in the farewell for De Valera
when he departed to carry his plea
for aid for the de jure government
Of Ireland" to the western part Of
the United States After visiting
several of the larger cities in the
West, Mr.. de Valera plans to return
to Chicago.

SEES GRAIN QUIZ
4SHOW UP" DRYS

The proposed investigation by Con-
gress Of the worlds wheat situation,
provided in a bill introduced last
Friday by Congressman John F. Fitz-
gerald Of Massachusetts,, is sure to
result in the exposure Of the "hypoc-
risy and assininity of wartime pro-
hibition," according to a statement
issued by the Association Opposed to
National Prohibition.
Quoting a report made by Julius
Barnes, wheat commissioner Of the
United States Grain Corporation, the
association gives figures relating 70
wheat and flour consumption in the
United States and our shipments
abroad, which show that the con-
sumption Of wheat in this country for
the last ten months averaged more
than three millions of bushels per
month less than for the same period
q year ago, and that during the same
period both production and exporting
OF wheat had increased.
