Mr.. r. Scott Adams, Alliance
leader, wants ballot reform, and
in his late letter says: 'Pardon
personal allnsions when I say I
speak advisedly Of the corrupt po-
litical methods Of the State, since I
have been its victim" All the
same, Gov. Foster Is winning
golden opinions on allsi des, both
a. a champion Of ballot reform, and
. model Chief Executive. 1t gives
% pleasure to make this acknowl-
edgment, although We opposed
him in the last campaign. HE

Probably those carping critics
who have been charging Governor
Foster with being opposed to cleo
ton reform are now satisfied rs 70
his position. We say satisfied. but
. better term would probably have
been discom6:ted, because those
individuals resemble very much the
condition VI the complaining old
gentleman who expressed himself
a ''being never happy unless he
was miserable" 90 these critics Of
the Governor manifested great
symptoms of uneasiness because
they feared His Excellency was

quite cure that nothing could have
pleased them better than TO have
known that their misgivings were

That High Land" at
Fort Pike.
PEARL RIVER, June 80, 1904.

PEARL RIVER. June -, lSS&.
Editor d. TAlGHANY FARNER:
The "dlstinguished COMMITTEES" that
was sent to Fort Pike to prospect with
. view Of starting Lsper Hospital at
that place, found the old Fort sur
rounded with "high land" They must
have had "A'adin's Lamp" along with
then. and through the light Of that
they saw the "high land" loom up from
the bosgy duck ponds in that vicinity.
II the land was 80 ''high," one would
not have thought It necessary to have
built brick wall from the moat and
the barracks down to the old hospital,
to keep the roadway from being wash
ed away during high tides. But oil
that had to be done and . roadway
thrown up and covered with shells to
make It passable at all. There was also
. brick foundation wall around the old
hospital, ct the Lake shore, because Of
the morass there. Wonder why the
hospital was not built on the ''high
land" instead OF going to al that
troublei
And, Mr.. Editor, that committee
found something else that no one else
had ever seen 1t the old Fort, and that
was erich alluvial SOIL" I know lady
who lived near the cid Fort, and she
tried to have . garden and few how-
ers, but that erich alluvial soil" re-
fused to impart life to anything but q
poor little scrubby white oleander bush.
1t was s'monarch of all 1t surveyed"
from the Rigolets round to the Lake.
That erich ailuvial soil'' must have
been on top of the breastworks. The
poor lepers would not fnd much OF 1t
by tickling the marsh with hoe.
But the people Of St. Tammany par
ish do not desire the experiment Of
farming the bogs around Fort Pike by
lepers, Our beautiful sanitarium gem
OF parish can dispense with any such
experiment, and I think voice the
sentiment Of every intelligent citizen
In 1t when say: 1t must not be!
L. CRARY SADLER.
The above fully confirms the views
We have repeatedly expressed in oul
columns. Fort Pike Is not . suitable
location for . Leper Hospital, and even
II It was, our people are most decidedly
opposed to its being located there.

Among the important matters
which should be looked into by our
Legislature Is the changing Of the
manner in which petty cases are
disposed Of BY the Justices Of tho
Peace. As the law now Is. every
little case il tried before the dis
trict court, which puts the State to
great unnecessary expense, when. Il
the Justice Of the Peace, was em-
powered to impose fines, the costs
to the State would he almost nothing.
All minor onenses should be tried
before Justices Of the Peace il for
no other reason than those above
given. But :l,ere are many other
reasons that might be given. BY
this method more speedy trials
would be had. which is one of the
potent essentials to justice. The
Justice could have regular terms
Of court-say once . month. Other
States do this and they find that it
gives almost universal satisfaction,
and It is . great saving to the state
as well - 10 the litigants, and We
are unable to see why Louisiana
cannot do the same thing. The
laws Of our State are entirely too
complicated and intricate for this
advanced age any way, and should
undergo > thorough course Of
renovation Give US simpler laws
ane fewer Of them.-Boyce Enter

NEW MONEY ORDERS

On July LIST, there will be on sale
1t the postofnces throughout the
country = new money order BY
which large and small sums can be
transmitted by letter with safety
and at rates much less than the
present. Orders for - so or less
can he had for three cents, and
orders for larger amounts up to
500 at rates grading up to thirty
cents. The schedule Of fees for
the new money orders have been
reduced to the basis now charged
by the various express companies
for transmitting money.
This order will be similar in Ill
respects to the express company
money orders in form and In com.
mercial handling in this, that the
order will be like . check, and can,
after it has been indorsed by the
person in whose favor it Il made
out, be negotiated and cashed like
an ordinary bank check.
The form Of the order 10 very
simple, and In some reopoctO re-
sembles the postal noe. On the
left hand eide, running dow: in
column form, is in figures the
amounts for which any order can
be d-..~n. The amount for which
:::.e order 10 made out is cut out in
the left-hand column, making both
correspond. The advice coupon
attached to the order il similarly
made out and detached, ana this is
the only feature in which the new
postoffce order differs from the ex-
press money order. Applications
for postoffice money orders are to
be made in the usual way, under
the same conditions, with the ex-
ceptiOn that there is material re-
in the fees.
The Limit Of the amount which
can be sent on . post06ice money
order is $500 from one person to
another on any one day, but any
one can procure orders for thou
sands Of dollars every day in the
week TO different payees.
