WOLF CATCHER'S SONS RIDE TO MEET ROOSEVELT Young Abernathys Gailop Across Continent to Meet Big Hunter on Return to Gotham. Washington, May 28.-After rid ing on horseback most of the day across the continent to meet Col. Roosevelt on his arrival at New York, Louis and Temple Abernathy, of Okla homa, the wolf catcher and friend of the former president, arrived in the national capital last night. They rode in from Frederick Md.. to-day. a distance of fifty-seven miles. Tem ple dropped off to sleep the minute his head touched the pillow. While the little fellows were curled up rest fully under the white covers Louis talked of their trip. "Temple and I," he said, "want to see some of the animals Mr. Roose velt sent from Africa, and to-morrow we will go over to the Smithsonian Institution to see if .we can have a look at some of them." When asked what he intended to say to Mr. Roosevelt when he met him in New York, Louis replied that "it would depend on what Mr. Roose velt said to them," and that he "could not cross that fence until he came to it." President Taft will receive the two little travelers. Where Money Goes Although the statistics if our foreign trade show that we sell to Europe and other foreign countries a great deal more than we buy from them, and that consevuently there should be a considerable balance in our favor, yet as a mattea of fact we know that there is actually no bal lance, and we have frequently to make good our debts to Europe by considerable gold shipments. One'of the reasons why we send to Europe money in payment of debts, when ostensibly there are no debts, is the vast exodus. annually of Amerin cans to Europe. t is believed that at least 20,000 Americans annually { make a pilgrimage to Europe. and this year it is expected that all pre vious records will be broken. These tourists, who represent 90 per cent of the total numoer of passengers handled by the transatlantic linr.=, spend on the_ av,-rage pobablt y $1000 apiece. If thiis be so, as there seems to be n, re:,son to doubt that it is, at least $250,000,000 of good Amnri can money sent Lut Europe is readily accounted for. Just why Americans should dl.eifop Huch a mana for traveling in Europe is hard to cmiprtehend. hut thedesire tni ma.ke a Europea. t.,ip ,ipji;ars to be over-whelming, and it is also a fact that any person who has made one trip constantly yearns to repeat the experience. As a consequence there is an enormous annual drain of money to Europe, which, added to our imports, goes a good way to wards evening up th- favorable trade balance due to excess of exports over imports.--Picayune. x LOUISIANA PRESS 1 x "I am a Democrat and I believe that the people of New Orleans should vote on whether they want their mayor's salary increased to $10,000. I believe in the referen dum," said Representative Locke, when the above bill was up before the House Monday. Wonder what Mr. Locke was two years ago when the division bill was up? He opposed a referendum and everything else. Guess he must have been a Republi can then, and has now switched and landed on the good old Democratic principles.-De Ridder Enterprise. The movement in this State against "the importation of foundlings," as it is called, is ill-advised. While it is right to remove some of the restric tions that have made it diffiuclt for even good people to adopt orphans from the homes within the State's borders, the fact remains that the majority of persons wishing to adopt a child prefer taking one that has no known relatives, and this .militates more largely against Louisiana or phans finding good homes than any other one factor. Persons prefer adopting children without family connections, and fqr this reason rush to get the orphans brought here from New York. So- long as en vironment does more for a child than heredity there can be no great dan ger in giving homes to the children brought into the State.-St. Francis ville True Democrat. A bill has been introduced in the Legislature, which if passed, will mean a great deal to the local mer chants throughout the state. The bill provides for a license tax on all foreign solicitors of clothing houses, dry goods concerns, etc. To be lia ble to the tax, the people must be soliciting for a house located out.; side of the community in which the business is solicited. For some time, the merchants of the several parishes have been suf fering severely as the result of the large city houses sending out sales men soliciting business, and later making deliveries. This works an injustice and hardship on the local merchant for the reason that he is forced to financially contribute to the welfare of a parish from which he receives no protection in a busi ness way, while the city merchant i.s reasing the benefit of the prosperity brought about through this forced contribution on the part of the mer chant.-Point Coupee Banner. THERE'S MONEY IN IT A new discovery has been made for the use of marsh grass, of which there are thousands of acres going to waste each year. It has been tested for hay, and those who are supposed to know say that it makes the finest in the market, and we will not be surprised to see hundreds of mowing machines at work across the broad acres, in the rear of Franklin. Its nutritious properties have always bree known, for it fattens stuck rapidly, t~ut no one seems to have thought of it for this purpe.se until recently. Baker Island, the property of Mr. Emmet Alphe, is being mowed, and and as soon as it is cured, a con sig~n.ment will go to market. One f+ature about it is that it grows all :he time without reference to seasons, c•ivering the ground so thick that much labor is required by a man to walk through it. Hundreds of tons c•i hbe gathered with no expense ex rJ-,t t, Cut and bale it.--Franklini Watchnaan IF HAD ONLY PUT (a4 SOU LD - "RAVE IT IT IS NEVER TOO LATE TO LEARN; START A BANK ACCOUNT NOW Having money of your own enbles you to borrow more money when you want it to start a business of your own.
