official Organ.

! Our ncighbor across the way
called the "Natchitochos Inter
PRISE" enterprise God save the
mark y is the official organ of this
large and wealthy parish, and Of
a reasonably wealthy city, and as
such, enjoys about as fat a dish OF
public pap as can be found in our
pap-ridden State. 1t has Il splen-
did mechanical outfit, and full
corps of capable and worthy print
ers to operate the plant, and for
the life of us we can't SEQ why they
don't get out a first class paper.
At first blush you might think
it none Of our business, but as a
citizen here, we are interested in
the progress and development of
all our surroundings, and not be-
ing able, financially and otherwise,
to get up a strictly first class pa
per, we have right to expect those
who can, to do so.
We looked over the paper last
week and we found advertisements,
which if not dead so long, had not
been corrected in 3 years, for ex-
ample! G.. H. Prothro, NJ. d.,

The Teachers Institute.
People's Demands.

An institute has been held this
week at Colfax by Prof. Stevens
of the State Normal School. Our
town has been full of teachers who
have been busy exchanging ideas
on teaching and progression in ed
ucational matters. The lectures
have been highly appreciated by
the Colfax people who attended.
Prof. Griffin and Prof. Rivers,
of the Pollock High School, have
added considerably by their talks.
The school interest of our parish
can be considerably advanced and
we all hope the Constitutional Con-
vention will provide an educational
fund sufficient to advance every
thing to a high standard. Prof.
Stevens is an accomplished gentle

A Good Roads Movement.
Donaldsonville Chief.

We are gratifed to learn that
the department of civil engineer
ing of the Louisiana State Univer-
sity and A. and M. College at
Baton Rouge has undertaken to
collect information in regard to
the status of the public roads
throughout the state, for the pur-
pose of seeing what can be done
for their improvement, and to this
end Prof. w. D. Taylor, G. E.,
who is the head of the department,
has prepared o list Of questions
which he is sending to citizens of
the various parishes whom he be-
lieves competent to answer them
most fully and intelligently. We
trust there will be a cheerful and
general cooperation in this admi-
rable movement, as there is proba-
bly, no state in the Union more
sadly In need of an improved road
system than is Louisiana. The
constitutional convention has a
golden opportunity to render the
people an inestimable service in
this direction.

spoke for II.

Congressman Ogden made one
of the few speeches he makes in
congress, last week in favor of the
infamous Loud bill. This meas
ure proposed on the plea of econo-
my, to cut off entirely the sending
of sample copies of all newspapers
through the mails, prohibit the
mailing of small books and pam
phlets, such as Coins Financial
School, ut newpaper rates, and
otherwise raise the price of read
ing matter to the general public,
while it would leave the rich sub,
sides to railroad corporations un-
touched, and these prices paid rail
roads for carrying mail are as high
as they were twenty years ago, two
or three times as high as the ex
press companies pay for the same
service, and amount to some twcn-
ty or thirty millions more than is
necessary to be paid. Yet Mr..
Ogden was an advocate of this
humbug, directly against the in
terests of his constituents, and in
favor of the plutocrats. He should
explain.

Couldn't You Stand That 2

Tho New York journal has ta
ken bold stand for municipal
ownership Of natural monopcIies.
We make the following extracts
from an editorial of the 24th:
Suppose that New York were
governed for the people, instead OF
for the men who squeeze fortunes
out OF it. Suppose the city manA-
ged its own street car lines. ran
its own GAS works and electric
plants and managed the other nat
ural monopolics for the benefit of
the public at cost, instead of allow
ING private syndicatcs to manage
them at high rates and then at
tempt to corrupt city politics to
keep them high. Don't you think
the city would be better off!
1t is true that the Goulds, Rus
sell Sages and q few others who
know how to buy what they want
would have fewer millions to hoard
or squander. But would that he an
uncomfortable calamity! Suppose
Sage Or Could even had to 60 to
work. Couldn't you stand tilat!
The suggestion that the city
manage rs own street cars. etc..
would be met with terrific how!
from Wall Street.
But We suppose that giving the
public this service at cost instead
OF taxing them up to the handle,
would he denounced rs anarchistlc
patcrnalism.
But is that reason for letting
private individuals roo the city so
gaily!
If the city owned the street
railroads, OF course the first vo-
ting day would make all fare three
cents, except probably for school
children who would ride for one
cent. Plenty Of cars would be
supplied, as no one would be in
terestcd in getting the greatest
number of fares for the least
amount Of money.
The profits from the street rail
ways, gas supply and similar mo-
nopolles would reduce taxation,
reduce cost to citizens, provide
honorable, well paid work for
thousands Of deserving men, aboI.
lsh the present system OF grinding
down wages, and what harm would
it do, save that it would prevent
private individuals from making
vast fortunes from public neccssi-
ties and then using their money to
corrupt politics and control legis-
lation!
Of course, the public will con-
troll these and many other things
in time. Bnt the time should be
hurried on. Perhaps discussion
will help it.

TO OvERSEERS.

Overseers Of public roads in this county are
respectfully invited to read carefully the fol-
lowing, which we take from the Annotated
Code of 1872. section 1925, on mile posts to be
erected:
"Every overseer within six months after his
appointment shall cause the road of which he
is overseer leading to the court house or prin-
cipal town in the county, to be measured, il
not already measured; and shall erect, if not
already erected, a post of durable material at
the termination Of each mile, painted thereon,
in large Roman characters or figures, the
number of miles from the courthouse OF
principal town; and every overseer failing
therein, or failing to place such mile posts as
may have been destroyed or misplaced, shall
be guilty Of a misdemeanor, and, on convict.
ion, fined one dollar for each board or post"

IT WAS HOT AND ROCKY.

We do not censure our genial and popular
opera house manager in the least for placing
on the boards the "Prodical Father Company
that appeared here Monday night last. To
say the least, it was the worst attempt at high
rolling that we have ever witnessed. It was
more vaudeville than comedy. In other words,
it was 'hot stuff" for the period Of lent. The
house was crowded with the best people from
Moss Point, Pascagoula and Scranton, but the
leg show and the high kicking was enjoyed by
only a few. The manager Of the Mobile the.
atre is responsible for this rotten concerns
appearance here. We hope that no other like
play will ever disgrace the boards of our
Opera House again. Let us have clean shows
or none at all.
