L. Vallee. of Abbeville, vice
president of the State Committee
of the American Cotton Associa-
ton, has sent ih statement call
ing attention to the report that
the Gulf Stream has been noted
as having come ten miles nearer
the coast. and therefore the cot
ton area in the South is menaced
bya long period Of wet seasons,
just one more trouble for the cot
ton planter to add to the boil
weevil, the pink boil worm, the
INSCRIPTIONS bears and the other
things that in the past have made
life a burden for the cotton pro-
Queer. While the American Cot
ton Association does not pretend
to have any influence over the
gulf stream. still this fact is men
toned, to show, the necessity of
unity on the part Of all who are
interested in cotton, however re-
motley. because that will be the
only way that the succession of
evils can be combated, and it is
the only way that the interests
of the south can be protected from
marauding influences.

WHY JOHN M. PARKER
SHOULD BE ELECTED
GOVERNOR.

By j. w. Bassett, of Eunice. La.
Liberty, one Of the most prec-
ious gifts to man, from a bounte.
GUS and all-wise creator, should
be guarded. with jealous care by
all that are worthy of the enjoy
ment thereof.
For his liberty, as well as for
his honor, man is in duty bound
to keep constant vigil, and in de-
Tense of either, risk all, even life
itself.
! Cravens have lived in all ages,
however. who have been ever
ready to "Bend the pregnant
hinge of the knee, that thrift may
follow fawning," by the same
token, all ages have produced men
Of weak moral fiber, who would
not hesitate to sacrifice honor for
q price.
For such this appeal will have
no meaning. To all who value the
freedom for which heroic men
have fought and died in all ages,
and who honestly desire to pre-
serve for themselves and poster
ity this priceless heritage, 1 say,
come brethren, let us reason to-
gether.
Having kept up with the recent
and current history in Louisiana,
you must be aware that politi-
cal oligarchv has formed and

kKnown to all, acknowledged by
all, this monstrous thing is named

opponents a monstrous political
cabal. which has about the same
political effect upon our demo-
cratic form of government that a
lumr Of lead would have upon
the stomach Of a dispectic.
This ring is an admitted fact, it
has its defenders, it has it's op-
ponents. Since its inception some
twenty years ago, it has been the
overshadowing issue in Louisiana
politics. All other issues pale
into insignifcance, and will con-
tinue to do so until this one has

longer and is more irksome for the

Simple and Rapid.
At this stage the patients body 4.
brought into contact with the drug in
the shape OF sulphnrous acid, which is
Particularly, penetrating. With this OBJ
ject in view the procedure is as follows:
Inc patient Is seated in the empty
bath tub. into which Is placed an earthen
saucepan containing burning charcoal,
on which is thrown a handful OF pow
dered sulphur. The patient is covered
as before Within Is minutes, 20 at the
outside. In order not to irritate the skin
the patient quits the bath and goes out
of the room. The windows are thrown
open. the bath is uncovered. and an
hour later the fumes win have cleared
away.
The operation. of course. is carried out
in a room easy to ventilate free from
any hangings or furniture likely to be
damaged by the sulphur fumes single
sitting. as rule, suffices to cure even
the serious forms of itch. though a sec
ond Intervention may at times be re-
CURED. The two sittings must be sepa-
rated by an interval of several days in
order to avoid setting up irritation of
the skin and in order to secure adequate
perspiration. which Is an important de-
tail of the procedure.
Coolies and lice are also destroyed by
tho sulphur fumes.
DR.. Dulac has known veterinary sur
geons to make use of sulphur fumes to,
cure itch in horses. but thinks he can
lay claim to the idea OF inducing per-
SEPARATION by means of a vapor bath
before exposing to the sulphur fumes.
This procedure Is both simple and
rapid and can be easily applied by any
doctor. You can even dispense with the
bath and the hot water. making use of
vapor-proof wooden boxnor by utilizing
hot. dry air
This entire treatment. however, should
be given only under your doctors super
vision.
The only important features of the
treatment are that the two stages of the
treatment shall follow promptly one on
the misrepresentation and fumigation
with sulphurous acid--and the disinfec-
ton of the entire surface of the body
and all clothing worn by the victim.

enough. for time political freedom
didn't advance but rather fell back.
1t was a period when governments

things that made law easily enforced

, empire was now gone. and the eastern
church was hidden, for almost all the
nations that professed its religion We're
now in bondage to the Turks It didn't t
rise into prominence again until it re-
appeared as the religion of the great
empire of Russia
The western empire survived in name
only. While some of the cmperorS were
very powerful princes, 1t was not by rea-
son of their being emperor that they
were powerful. but rather they were en-
peror because they were powerful. We
have to deal now. not with states, SO
much as with collections of states and
nations in the hands of powerful fani-
lies.
Religious Changes.
But before We consider these families
that held Europe in subsection We had
better give thought to the religious diff
ferences that separated some of the ma
lions from each other. At the beginning
of the 10th century We may say that the
whole of western Europe was in COM
muniof with the western church. There
was no nation not Christian. and only n
few people among the Laps in the far
north unconverted. What now took
place was analogous to the division into
different forms that in earlier days had
taken place in the Latin. the Greek and
the eastern provinces of the ancient en-
pire.
1t is unnecessary to detail the reasons
for the disputes that led during the early
part of the 18th century to the import
ant religious separations and political
events. 1t Is only necessary to say that
the end of all these disputes saw a large
part OF western Europe gradually be-
come separated from Rome. The Ro-
nance nations remained true to Rome,
while as general thing the Teutons
fell away. Yet England changed little,
Scotland changed a great deal. while
Ireland remained as II had always been.
For long time men considered it to
be crime to allow any kind of worship
except that in which they themselves
believed. Thus the Reformation-as it
was cailed-caused in some countries
civil wars. and in others prosecutions
that troubled whole nations. 1t is with
this understanding Of these general con-
ditions that We may now approach the
events taking place in individual nations
