He Said His Prayers.

New Orleans ChristiaB AdrOcdte.l
Not long ago we had occasion to
spend the night in an upper berth Of
Pullman. just across the aisle two
boys-probaly eight or ten years Of
age-were having what must have
been their usual bedtime romp. They
were as boisterous as only boys can be,
and we began to fear that sleep was a
remote possibility. until we heard one
Of them say: Bill, YOU keep quiet
now-I'm going to say my prayers and
go to Sleep" Bill kept quiet, they both
evidently said their prayers. and we
soon fell asleep, but not without little
prayer of our own that the Good
Father would bestow His blessing upon
the hoy who was not afraid or ashamed
to offer up his devotions in a crowded
Pullman car. We wish their parents
might read this. that they might know
how faithful their boys were to the
teaching they received doubtless at
their knees.

The Scandal at Baton Rouge.
pmer NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. 12th.1

Homer GM0rdian,JOMrnal, 12th.l
The arrest of Huey Long, on an affi-
davit sworn out by the Governor, was
easily the paramount feature in sensa-
tionalism at Baton Rouge last week.
We hold no brief for Huey Long and
did not support him for Railroad Com
missioner, but we believe this act of
the Governor will result in making
Long a hero and a martyr.
SO far as, we know, Parker has not
arrested Ex-Governor Pleasant, who, in
our opinion, arraigned the Governor
and his administration even stronger
than did Mr.. Long. And if he should
arrest everybody who thinks like
Governor Pleasant and Mr.. Long on
the issues charged, it is quite likely he
would have IS per cent of the people
in jail, IL they were not fortunate
enough to give the large bond required
Of Long.
Another sensation comes. where the
Governors friends announced that the
severance tax article in the Constitu-
ton was itself unconstitutional and
that the law passed by the last Legis-
lature. called the g Gentleman's Agree
ments" by the Governor, would con.
tinue in force.
While under the Constitution the
parishes were to get small modicum,
One-fifth. under the existing law,
passed ut the request of the Governor.
the parishes do not get one cent. And
SO it is that the last stage is worse
than the first.
i The Legislature is now taking up
time, at a cost of several thousands
dollars a day, in probing and investi-
eating some Of the Governors political
enemies. All such investigations and
trials should be made by the courts
and should not come before the
Legislature.
Well may We PROFOUND the question
attributed TO the Alabama Congress.

Private Fish Ponds Suggested.

Most of the farmers Of Louisiana
should have private fish ponds, In the
opinion OF the Conservation Depart
ment of the state. In nearly every
instance, writes member of the Con-
seryation Department, there Is q cash
in the skin of the old earth, which, II
closed at the lower end, would collect
enought of the rainfall to make per-
manent pond. Objection has been
raised to this theory that such bodies
of water would increase the mosquito
pest. but as matter Of fact it would
decrease that pest, because the top
minnows in the pond would destroy the
larvae, whereas leaving these gashes as
they are, every rain forms puddles OF
water in which fish cannot live, but In
which the larvae Of the mosquito
thrive. Of course. perfect drainage
is almost impossible in many cases,
and in others is not accomplished.
Continuing he says:
Not every pond would accom-
modate the fish that the farmer would
most desire, perhaps, but all would
provide for edible fish. A large pond
could be used for bass and such like
IlSIl, Willie LuC SlllullSI uUlCS "OuAu pAo-
vide sustenance for the smaller vari-
cites, such as sunfish (which in this
section are called perch), sac-a-lait,
and the like. Thus these gashes in the
soil would not only be utilized to pro-
duce food for the family, but filling
them with water would remove an ugly
blot on the landscape.
THE Conservation Department of
Louisiana is much interested in this
subject, and If the farmer who estab-
fishes such a pond will write to the
department describing the character Of
| the pond he desires to use, an expert
will advise him what species of native
fish is best to use as stock. Naturally,
those farmers who live near streams
or lakes teeming with fish will not be
interested in the subject, thought even
they could at all times get a particular
kind OF fish from the pond. but those
somewhat removed from the natural
habitat of fish would find the plan OF
considerable economic value, aside
from its other pleasing aspects.
"A little labor will turn favorably
situated spot into suitable reservoir
and the frequent rains In this section
would do the rest, provide harbor fol
the fish and water for cattle and othel
farm animals during periods Of ex
tended drOutll."
