A GOOD FIGHT.

; The public is or should be fully
aware of the efforts that have been
made by our Mayor in trying to
get control of the mosquito situa.
tion and the fight waged in tho
anti-maIaria campaign by DR.. Ir.
win, director of the Parish Health
Unit.
Last fall, Mr.. +. b. Shaw, Asst.
San. Eng. made an official inspec.
tion and gave full report, telling
what could be done locally to con.
troll the situation. Since then he
has visited Natchltoches several
times and after his recent visit
wrote in full the final results of
his findings to Mayor Poleman,
and below are excerpts from this
report:

! Louisiana should be grateful to
Dr.. James B. Aswell, congress
man Of the eighth district who
has decided not to seek the sens-
t,rial toga but to remain for the
present AZ least in the lower house
of congress. The Times elsewhere
on this page reproduces an able
editorial from tho New Orleans
States, commenting the congress-
man for his decision. The Time,
wishes to endorse the statements

Dr.. AswelI has teen an out
standing figure in our national
Congress. He has fought his way
to the top by his sterling efforts,
in the service of the people. Ap.
parently DIR. Aswell has many
years of public service before him.
The Times also prints a review
of political events by Robert T.
Small, one of the country's most
noted political analists, which
shows that the Republicans are
trembling over the turn of recent
events, fearing they may lose the
reins of government.
DR.. Aswell has exhibited tho
qualities of leadership, rarely
equalled. His manner is forceful
his speech vigorous, his thought
clear and logical and his argu.
ments ncontrovertibIe.
With the public plainly mani.
testing It's disappointment over
republican inactivity, it is highly
probable that the democratic par.
ty will be returned to leadership
in the nations affairs IN the forth
coming elections.
And if this occurs, which we of
the south sincerely trust, Con-
gressman Asweil will be found q
leader among leaders in the house.
HIS decision to remain in the
house therefore is judiciously, at
the sa,ne time unseltishly made in
the best interest of the constitu-
ents whom he seeks to serve. And
this willingness to serve will not
go unrewarded in the end.

The Statistical Position of
Cotton

Statisticians, some times known a
Figure Hounds,' manage to fin,
more or less pleasure IN adding, sub
tracing and multiplying. and by com
pairing results, proved almost any prol
osition that may be presented. And
who can successfully take issue with
their conclusions and deductions, un.
less it be some other Statistician who
has a motive for proving the contrary.
To most persons, figures are confusing
and for that reason appear to be as
conclusive as the statement that "Any
given point is the center of the sur
rounding territory"
| Recently the Department of Agricul-
ture issued the official figures on the
consumption of cotton thus far this
year; the amount of carry over and the
size of the stocks now in sight. This
report was the cue for the cotton sta
tisticians to appear on the stage in
the playlet entitled. Now you see it
and now you don't.
1t has been conclusively proven that
there will be a cotton famine before
the end of 1928, also that there is
enough cotton to supply the world
demand until the new crop is on the
market.
1t is strange that Statistical Posi-
ton did not display its strength until
, cotton planting time. Last fall, when
the Government issued the final gin
ner's report showing a production of
less than 8, 900, 900 bales, and followed
with report showing an increasing
consumtion Of American cotton, there
was mighty little said about how strong
statistical Position really was True
a few friends of cotton, and few
more who thought the staple a good
buy. called attention to the great
strength of statistical Position" but
there wasn't enough of them to form
even fair sized audience, and this
mysterious person refused to perform.
As matter of fact, there were too
many farmers waiting to see the show,
and preferring to display his strength
to selec, crowd of spectators, the
act was postponed until the "Ru5es"
were too busy planting the new crop
to appear at tie box office.
Cotton farmers will lie obiig:t TO
spend all their available time ~ ~.

t!stical Position jist as the; rad ne
baseball scorts, hoping all Il" me
that he will not exp2nd all of his .ersv
before the new crop is ready 10. the
market.
While it is comforting to cotton
farmers to ksl,w that the vast surplus
Is being consumed and that there will
probably be fair demand for the new
crop. his best bet Is in producing as
much good cotton to the acre as posi-
BILE, and doing it as cheaply as condi- |
tions will permit.

The senate held a short session IN
the morning at which the only busi-

whole committee Of Senator Sims
bin applying the sums owed the gem
eral fund by the several counties to
the building of certain designated
highways. The only change made in
the bill was at the suggestion of the
senators from Giia county who urged
that the $4,000 of that county. in
stead OF being applied to the Apache
Trail, should be applied to the
Miami Superior road for the wide
ming of three mile stretch near the
town of Miami. In that shape the
bill was recommended for passage.
