The Passing of the Storm.
With the passing of the great storm of Sep
tember 20, 1909, news continues to come in of
deaths, suffering, destruction of property, of
acts of heroism and of brilliant rescues. The
/ daily newspapers have given a full account of
all of these and we are taught by the stories
that we read of the great amount of latent good
that lies in the hearts of the people of our coun
try that develops itself spontaneously, 4 it
were, whenever the emergency demands it'. In
the presence of great storms or other mlanifes
tations of the forces of nature, humanity is
compelled to stand abashed, as it were, and to
accept whatever may come, whether disaster or
relief. One touch of nature makes all the
world akin. In the storm of 1893, which was
far mere destr'ic*ive of hu.:ran hIfe than the one
just Ipasseti, ':' hcard of one man who was so
dazed that when his house was blown down and
his wife imprisoned and perhaps crushed within,
was unable apparently to lend any aid whatever
in rescneing her. As a rule, however, these
great dangers bring olt strength in some un
expected place3 and s6 many level heads and
strong arms bein'g brought int6 service greatly
diminish the dangers and disasters of the storm.
As already recounted in these columns, at
Pointe-a-la-Hache the local community threat
ened with danger was generally gathered into
the courthouse. The women of the community
being cared for by Sheriff Mvdefs at his strong
ly built residence a short distance below. At
Empire Mr. Fred Stockfleth,: whose sympathetic
benevolence was so wide ruching in 1893,
again had his house open to ill the distressed
and they came to him froth far and near and
were cared for free of charge. The pilots at
Pilot Town were on the alert and made some
brilliant rescues of humratl lives and of ship
wrecked vessels. And so we mdy. say that if
al'8tie g9od and heroic actions that have brought
abQt by the storm were put on record, it would
require i big book-to contain them.
tow that One weather has come and that.
the sun:is shining, we are:led to wonder what
nature means by her frightful treatment of
humanity when she assumes these stormy moods.
We must submit to thbe inevitable when it comes,
but nevertheless should keep up our courage
and be ready to do all that we can to aid each
other in these periods of great distress.
The 'Plaquemines Parish East Bank
Back Levee.
While the back levee in this district did not
keep out the hurricane waters of 1909, it seems
to have materially diminished the force of the
tidal wave in a considerable part of the district
of which the levee is designed to protect. Few
persons have any idea of the occasional stress
that is put upon the east bank portion of this
parish by these great easterly storms that oc
casionally befall us. The citizens of the East
Bank Back Levee District have been willing to
tax themselves to the limits of their ability and
areengaged in constructing the levee which
has not yet reached completion, although
the work has been continually in progress.
Several contractors who were engaged in the
work having failed to meet their obligations;
more or less delay has occurred in the construc
tion of the levee, and yet those who are the best
informed in regard to the matter, believe that
the back levee has already several times saved
to the residents within the limits of its district
far more than the cost involved in its construc
1 tion and maintenance thus far. That it should
be completed and made far stronger than ever
and that all this should be dons as soon as pos
mible, is demonstrated by the storm through
which we have just passed, and the Board of
Commissioners for the district will undoubtedly
press the work to completion as far as lies
within their power and will undoubtedly appeal
to the state for such relief as can be given to
the district, the very existence of which is
threatened if the integrity of the levee be not
maintained.
At the mouth of the river it has been a
recognized fact from the beginning that the
eastern jetty is the one that has received the
brunt of all the storms and has been the most
dilicult one to maintain, while the jetty on the
Swestern side of the river, with only a thousand
feet of flowing water between it and the east
era jetty, has been comparatively easy to main
t ri. 'The (dll force of the storms in thie past
I farlling upon the eastern jetty has displaced
t bloclks of concrete weighing many tons.
t ~ repair of the jetty has maintained
"it d the teeplt is the kerping open the navi
gation of the Mississippi River to all the world.
We only refer to this as accentuating the diffi
culties that environ the present Back Levee
District. We believe that it is now some forty
mniles long and it wonld seem to us that lerhaps
. it would be wise to divide it up with eross levees
a :it properly selected points, such as would divide
tih  ti rIk so that the sea, if it broke through ijt)
one section, might not inundate all of the rest.
All human experience has shown that the
best conceived works of man will perish when
they come in conflict with some of nature's
forces. The dykes of Holland have often given i
away and even in China, where probably the t
oldest and most carefully calculated diking and
levee system in the world exists, the Hoang Ho,
their great Yellow River, or "River of Sorrow,"
as it is termed because of its having caused so
much destruction, has changed its course and
point of discharge into the sea every three or 1
four hundred years and vast amounts of prop
erty, as well as thousands of human lives have
been destroyed when the great breaks in their
levee system have occured.
We shall sincerely hope that the Plaquemines
Parish East Bank Levee District will be enabled
by its own resources and by the aid of the state
to ravidly repair the damage done to the levees
by this great storm and to so perfect its system
as to enable it to keep out even such waters as
were brought in by the hurricane of 1909.
L The Rice Propaganda.
Senator Henry L. Gu-ydan, of Gueydan, La.,
has been directed by the Rice Association of
America, with headquarters at Crowley, La., to
undertake actively the dissemination of the
merits of rice as a foodstuff. During the Pan
American Exposition at Buffalo, some seven
years ago, such efforts were made and did much
good in familiarizing the people of this country
with the value of rice as a-staple foodstuff, the
value of which millions of our people had never
previously considered. Three-fourths of the
people of the United States look upon rice as a,
luxury, an article to be used in making up des
serts and therefore, only to be used upon special
occasions. That it should enter active compe
tition with oatmeal, grits and the hundreds of
patented breakfast foods as a staple commodity
for use every day and especially at the break
fast table, does not seem to have occurred to
them and it is for this purpose that the present
renewed efforts are being made to get the peo
ple of the federal union generally interested in
rice on its intrinsic merits as a staple foodstuff.
Over half the people of the earth utilize rice
as their staple food and it is produced in larger
quantities than wheat and is more nutritious
and more readily digestible than any other
known cereal. At the prices now prevailing for
rice, at least at wholesale, it ought to enter into
very general consumption. The difficulty now
seems to be that rice, being regarded in the
West and North as something of a luxpry, sells
when handled at retail, for double or tripple its
normal price. Excellent head rice, good enough
for anyone, can be bought in New Orleans in
thousand pound lots, for 4.50 cents. When this
rice is sold in St. Louis, or St. Paul, in Cincin
nati or Pittsburg, and reaches the retailors
there, it is generally dealt out at from 8 to 12
cents per pound, and thus, an article just as
plentiful in the world as wheat and of a qual
ity superior to wheat as a foodstuff, is tripled in
price by the time that it reaches the consumer.
There are millions of acres of land in the
Southern half of the United States well adapted
to the production of rice and if sufficient atten
tion were given to the food value of this cereal
to make a market for all the rice produced,
there is scarcely any limit to our possible pro
duction.
For these reasons Senator Gueydan is reach
ing out everywhere among his extensive ac
quaintance in this and the adjoining states, ask
ing the cooperation of everyone concerned in
aiding him in his rice propaganda and it is to
be hoped that the press generally will take up
the matter and do all it can to aid Senator Guey
dan in his praiseworthy enterprise.
Home Grown Tobacco.
The Tobacco Trust is making the tobacco
1 habit quite an expensive luxury and we now
revert to the matter from the fact that in our
own parish in years gone by it was quite the
custom to produce more or less tobacco. Years
ago the parish of Natchitoches produced quite a
t quantity of the famous perique tobacco and in
SSt. James parish more or less is done in perique
Sgrowing even up to the present time. Some of
Sour elder citizens are probably familiar even
now with the standard methods of tobacco
growing in this parish and we should very
r much regret to see it become one of our lost
arts.
SRecently in some scientific researches the
f fact was brought out that a peculiar ferment
Swas produced in tobacco under pressure, a fer
Sment different from that produced without pres
Ssure. This is the secret of success in the manu
Sfacture of perique tobacco. A screw press
s bearing down on a mass of tobacco in the pro
t cess of its curing and manufacture, only has a
definite pressure when it is screwed down tight,
Sas the tobacco adjusts itself to the pressure thus
e exerted upon it the pressure then ceases and it
e requires constant renewing in order to maintain
t any given pressure. The perique tobacco man
e ufacturers seem to have learned long ago this
Sfact so recently brought out by our scientists
and that is that they could only get their desired '
flavor by a cdnstant pressure prevailing on the
t tobacco all the time. Their tobacco arranged
Sin certain forms, was placeed under a lever
Spressure and at the end of the lever weights
Swere hung on and as the tobacco adjusted itself
to the given pressure the pressure continued
because the lever would go down as ·the tobacco
became more and more compact.
e It would seem strange to find that our scien
tists in their research, work are thus able to
Sbring out and explain well recognized facts that
Shave rot been previously accounted for. The
flavor of tobacco depends upon the character of
Sits fermentation as much as does the favor of
rum upon its fermentation and of
butter upon which one of the
various fe'rments has been util
ized in securing the ripening of
its butter fat, or cream. Scien- h
tific research takes old facts and t
demonstrates their accuracy and
thus paves the way for the di3- i_
covery of new laws, the elabora- t
tion of new theories and the :
demonstration of the accuracy of
the theories if the theories be '
correct.
We must not omit to say that i
every friend of diversified agri- 1
culture in the Parish of Plaque- t
mines should encourage as far as
he can the growth of tobacco and
of all proper efforts to make it
another staple crop for ouri
parish.
The Daily States and the Tariff c
Rates.
"We desire to state a statement,"
So states the "Daily States," F
"Which will rate as a first rate
Berating, of those awful tariff rates.
Just think of the bitter dose I
We must swallow at one gulp;
Not one blessed cent reduction
On the list for wooden pulp.
Now we are going to see to it
At the very next election,
That only Congressmen are elected
Who are pledged against Protection.
Here in dear Old Louisiana
Our Gay lorious State,
The planters will surely love us.
Because we advocate
That sugar be allowed to come
To this country free;
This will make the planter prosperous,
As no doubt they'll all agree.
And in our sister State of Texas,
The State of the Lone Star.
This writing upon the wall
Appears to us from afar;
'Those Democrats who voted
For protection on their hides,
Will go down in history
As Democratic Snides.,
In Florida the Flowery State,
Nothing else would suit,
They insisted on Protection
For their citrus fruit;
To accomplish which, of course,
They made disgraceful trades.
This puts them on the list
With other renegades.
And South Carolina Democrats,
With your success ill-begotten,
With your nefarious trades
For Protection on Sea Island'Cotton;
Of course, as an additional
Excuse, for your swapping vice,
You point with swelling pride to
The Protection on your rice.
And each bright Georgia Statesman,
Afraid of being a back number.
Was willing to concede most anything,
For Protection on their lumber;
And into the constituent's eye,
They threw a few more cinders
i By demanding in stentorian tones,
Protection for their pindars."
And now so states, the statesman
Who is s.tationed on the States,
"By their own actsithey've tripped
ThemselVes, like men on roller skates.
For all these Democratic Statesmen
Who had Demor cy to burir;
Have burned it for Protection
To get Protection infth~t'tuirn
Now there's one thi.g false Democrat
We're going to do to you, my hearty,
We shall rise up in our mighty wrath,
And read you out of the Party,"
But the Statesman on the States
Has heard the mighty roar,
Of dissatisfied subscribers.
Who were satisfied before.
And what do you suppose
Is the song they sing,
Well it's: "I love my Daily States,
But Oh Ew Wing,"

L'ENVOIE
To the Statesman of the States:
Upon this subject in the future
If you are a wise Democrat,
You wont give us a thing but silence,
And very little of that.

i Back Levee Inspected.
An inspection of the entire line of
back levee was made this week by a
party of gentlemen composed of State
Engineer Jos. Monget, Sheriff F. C.
Mevers, Judge R. E. Hingle, Messrs.
E. A. Schayot, John B. Hingle and
Alvin Lee, the latter three being re
spectively, secretary, commissioner and
inspector of the back levee Board of
Comminssioners. The task, which was
begun Monday morning and completed
Thursday afternoon. was undertaken
e for the purpose of determining an ap
Sproximate estimate of the extent of
the damage wrought by the recent
Sstorm with a view towards an early re
Sconstruction of the levee. The trip was
made on foot and in that way every
inch of injury carefully observed and
e noted for future use and reference.
SMuch credit is due these gentlemen
and more particularly State Engineer
Monget, for the public spiritedness
t thus displayed, to say nothing of the
a tedious'work they were called upon to
. perform in traversing very rough terri
n tory, especially in those places where
a crevasses occurred, or where the levee
d i was badly washed. The inspection den -
.onstrated clearly that nearly all the
- damage was done in those places where
·the water washed over the levee's top.

LOUISA AND DAUPHINE STREETS.
In such places as this a recurrence
of this trouble can be avoided in the
future by building a leve"' of co:.'ider
ably higher grade than in other I !aces,
where conditions are more favorable.
Another feature which ccbtvibuted
largeiy to disinLtegrt.tiio, was t:c ib
sence of grass or pla:~t ii;e on theievee.
It night be well, therefore for the
Board to invest in wholesale Bermuda
grass planting along the entire line.
There were all told some ten drain
boxes washed out, nearly all of which
were recently constructed, the sur
rounding earth thereto having easily
yielded to the force of wind and wave
by reason of its fresh structure.
While Mr. Monget would say nothing
officially as to a general estimate of
the work he thought would be required,
he neverthelees kindly furnished us
with his valued notes which are herein
below published andr which will no
doubt interest all who are interested in
the future of the back levee.
Due to the peculiar nature of the
damage, it will be a difficult matter to
estimate the percentage of the levee
which it will be necessary to recon
struct, but it is safe to say that it will
cost nothing less than $50,000 to re
pair the levee and in most places
heighten it, say two to three feet above!
its present grade.

by State Engineer Monget showing the
