handsome depot here would not be
a sufficient reason for such a move,
and. in reality, we do not make
this Our principal argument for
sucA a move. But the fact that
this point is of sufficient ImpOr-
lance to have such depot, argues
that it is of more importance than
smaller places, Crowley and Lafay-
cite for instance, which are coupon
Offices.
We believe this to be the fact.
We honestly believe that msre
..Iono distance tickets are sold
from New Iberia than from both
Crowley and Lafayette. Yet both
these places have long since been
coupon Offices. This being SO why
should Ibemans be put to thc
troube-for it is a lot Of trouble
to write, phone, telegraph, wait,
cuss and sweat over getting tickets
from New Orleans or from Huston,
which they should get right here
in New Iberia!
While we suppose the Southern
Pacific officials have a coed reason
for having failed TO make New
Iberia coupon office in the past.
we hope they will again review the
situation and see if it would not
be to their interest to do so i'll the
near future. w.

Bayou Carlin Canal.
W

The Bayou Carlin Drainage
District was created by the Police
Jury of this parish last week. tax
ing in the entire town of New
Iberia Oh the west bank of the
Teche. and a considerable portion
of the Second, Fifth, and Seventh
wards of the parish. This fixing
Of the boundary Of the District has
been done IN some Office from
maps, or by horseback ride svel
a. part of the territory, without
benefit of survey which would
show water sheds or give any idea
Of the topography of the country.
As matter of fact large part
Of the town Of New Iberia is in
cluded IN the District which will
never shed a gill of water through
any canal that may be projected
on constructed.
A survey is an all-essential basis
for the fixing of the final bound1-
ries of the district. Without a
survey of he entire district it will
never be known just how much is
being left out which should be in
Cfuded, HOS Just how much is be-
inc included which should be left
ont. This want Of knowledge will
weaken any position the Commits
sioners may have to assume and
will more than probable lead to
complications and greater expense.
The Commissioners appointed
by the Police Jury are Messrs. o.
?. Romers, Geo. Winters and Geo
NJ. Robertson.
The names Of MeSsrs. w. +.
Satterfield and Il. j. Carstens
have been forwarded to Governor

The recommendation Of Mr.. Satter-
fields name seems to have been an
aftertheusht-and ''sesOnd sober
thoughts are always bettsr-a

to the confidence Of the interested

conservative business career is
known to all our people, and the
fact that he is a large property
holder-which property interests
will be effected by this project
makes him very desirable ap-
pointee.

ST. A YEAR,
CHIN

1t matters not what were the
circumstances which led up TO the
present status of the Chinese ques-
ton, whether 1t was the mission
aries. or whether it was the intrlg-
uing, land grabbing policies OF
Russia, England, Germany, France
and Italy, the Chinese problem Is
before the nations for solution.
From present appearances
which. however, may be decept-
ive-the war, which uIldeniably
exists in China, was preinaturely
brought about. For had China
waited twenty years and made
laws compelling military service,
such rs Germany has and made
the advance i'll military matters
which she has during the past
five years, we believe she could
successfully have detied the entire
world.
As it is the fighting is confined
to the province of Chi Ii, which
is only a small fraction larger
than the state of Arkansas, yet
which has a population of $4,000,
600. The actual seat Of war is 10,
Gated in the very small area of
country around and between the
cities of Pekin and Tien Tsin. We
think we can safely say that there
are millions of Chinese in that
same province of Chi Iii who know
very little of the warfare now going
on, and care less, for this war.
which we look upon as so momen-
tous, is less severe and a smaller
affair than many of the local re-
belliGns.
The world seems almost unable
to grasp the population of China.
The province of SIZE Chwan III
west China, with a little more
than one half the area of Texas,
has a population of 9S,0OO,OO0,
and probably only the viceroy and
other chef officers are aware of
the war. There are about twenty
of these provinces of various IreaS
but all densely populated, whose
people are slow to adopt railroads,
telegraphS, telephones, and other
progressive methods, and this
characteristic has been of the ut
most importance to the allied ma
tions.
CHINA at present can be com
pared to a sleeping giant, whose
slumbers are somewhat disturbed
by a swarm of mosquitoes and
which he listlessly brushes aside.
But should this giant awake, real
ize his strength and determine to
do so, he would prove a terrible
enemy to cope with.
IT, right or wrong, the powers
are determined to conquer and to
divide China, now is the time to do
SO, for that nation is probably
weaker now than she will be for
years to come. Just as she learned
|nuch from her defeat by Japan
I've years ago, SO will she learn
much, whether victorious or de-
feated, in the present war.
Should she be taught the value
or, ana construct, railroads, tele- |
graphs etc. for modern warfare:
should she drill, equip and provide
Tor the mobilization of the i'm.
mense forces she could put in the
neld, she could successfully defy
the combined attacks of the world
All this she may realize and
later accomplish.
