perfectly clear and give the hot end

railroads and development, Natchi-
toches drags along in the old rut
of 50 years ago, the oldest town in
| the State, she is liable to remain
the oldest.
Most of her merchants declare
that advertising does no good,
most of her ''infooenshal" citizens
favored and worked for a railroad
commission which will furnish fat
jobs for them, and keep back the
railroads we so much need, most
of her leading politicians have Sc
cured offices-some two apiece,
and now red-hot after a third
while the working bees of this
colony are discouraged, disgusted
and rebellious.

conditions would make the grass
grow in the streets Of a town, and
it is true, for not less than 100
head of cattle Craze on our streets
and large healthy pumpkin vines
are fourishing right in front of the
Opera House.
Just stick to these old politicians
and to your determination not to
advertise, and you, good merchants

Good ROads.

There are some excellent pro.
visions in the new Constitution OF
Louisiana for the procurement OF
good roads; but these provisions
will not execute themselves. II
any parish wishes to possess good
roads, its police jury must make
road districts, set aside at least one
mill per annum Of the taxes levied
by them, impose a per capita tax
of not more than 81 per annum on
each ablebodied male inhabitant
between eighteen and forty five
years of age, levy annual license
on each vehicle, including hicy-
cles enact ordinances for the en-
forcement of the property and H.
cense tax, and also for the per
capita tax. The jury can levy
other taxes for road and bridge
purposes on the property of the
parish, provided u majority in
number and value shall have voted
for such taxes. The State engi-
neers are required to furnish plans
for roads when called on.
Provision is also made in the
Constitution for sentencing con-
yicts to work on public roads and
bridges.
In order to get this system into
effective use there ought to be no
delay on the part of the police iu- |
ries, The time of the year when
work on the'public roads can most
conveniently be undertaken is now, |
not next winter. The policy of
The people should not be that of the
villager who refused to repair the
leaks in his cottage in good wealth
er because he did not feel the need
of repairs, and in bad weather ex-
,used himself by declaring that it

he matter now.
This is not a case where the Leg

ion into effect. The people of

we doubt if they take any paper

term the executive committee the

if members of the body tail to sup
ply themselves with literature and

tional affairs, that Judgment is de-
fective, and tends to impede the

supply himself and family with lit
