JAPANESE COLONIES IN LOUISIANA.

The colonizing of Japanese farmers from California on Louisianalands is meeting with considerable opposition, and in the discussion aris-ing, both for and against the proposition, it is comforting to note thatthe admissioh is made that the Louisiana farm lands are the finest to befound anywhere. The Japanese themselves admit this and deplore theopposition that may place obstacles *n the way of securing these lands.We all know that race problems are the most difficult of any to handle.There is a social obstacle that makes the Japanese settlement in Louisi-ana objectionable. Habits, tastes, consanquinity, prejudice, will all en-ter into the impossible proposition of making the Japanese a beneficialelement in the upbuilding of Louis!ana. If these lands are so valuableand so productive, then surely they must soon be settled by capableand energetic farmers of the white race, fprming a natural and congenialelement that may become co-operative in the uplift of the farmer inthe further movement that is bound to come for united effort in protect-ing the interests of the farmer. The effort is being made all over thecountry to make the farmer's life I appier and more prosperous. Thefarmer himself must aid in this mcvement. If Louisiana fils her landtwith Japanese, whict, she ultimately will do if this colonizing is allowedto get a foothold, she will dig her I rave politically and shut herself offfrom the prosperous states of the Union. Drudgery, cheap labor andhorded savings will never help us, : nd any condition that encourages theestablishment of distinct classes from which it is impossible to riseshould not be bid for by Louisiana. Let George do it.

DISTRIC'T COURTA number of cases in the District

Court of more or less importancewere decided by Judge Lancaster,Friday, among them being the suit

against the town of Slidell, in whichan injunction was prayed for to pre-vent the town from purchasing prop-

erty for the purpose of opening uIrPront street. While the town is em-powered under its charter to pur-chase land for such purpose, it alsorequires that provision be madeabove the budgeted expenses to payfor same. As no such provision wasLegally made, the injunction' wasgranted and the town was restrained

from the purchase.

Another case that attracted con-siderable interest was the case ofEobt. Stern vs. Houlton-Johnson Co.,

carried only actill alf of the total deposits i• the parish (49% pe cent to beexact,), they carried 54 per cent of the loans, or x86,000 more than a11 the otherbanks combined.

This statement Is not made In a spirit of boasting, but rather to answer thecharge made by a few of our friends who say that our bank s toeo coservativeand will not loan its money. Being conservative does not prevent the loaning ofmoney. Peing conservative does protat the depositor. If a man has means tosecure a kan, he should not object to putting It up; if he has no security to put up,he should not expect ageqmmodation.

We would Just as soon make a good loan a sto receive a deposit. ' "
