to bring the people Of Latin
America in closer social and COM

afford a splendid opportunity to

Louisiana and the great induce

taking active interest in having
our state properly represented at

hope that every city, town and

movement looking to obtaining
proper representation of our pro-
ducts and resources at the expo

interested in the movement, much
more SO than any other section of

That Report.

The report of the committee
appointed by the Police Jury last
summer to investigate and report
upon the overcharges made by
the parish printer was published
IN the issue of the Clarion of Feb.
I'd. 1t bore no date, but was
presented to the Police Jury on
the 23d ult. 1t states that ''the
parish printer has overcharged
the parish of St. Landry on the
amount paid to him 35 9-10 per
cent-that is to say the over
charges amount to the sum of
$774.87." This is pretty rough on
the parish printer. But then he
can stand it. lie can stand the
financial strain all the better for
the reason that he has collected
from the parish in overcharges
about twice that much, and re-
turning STA will therefore not
cripple him materially. And, be-
sides, the parish will continue to
pay 662s per cent of his bills, "as
presented" retaining 3315 per
cent until the STA, 81 is refunded.
So he is "let down easy all
around. Very considerate. Very
clever. And then, if the present
Jury does not examine his bills
much more closely than its pred
,ecessors did, and he makes u ennis
take of only 3315 per cent in
stead of 35 $40 per cent, why, he
will manage to keer even, any
how. So he is not so much to be
pitied, after all. True, there is
another feature about it, which
would be a little awkward and
embarrassing to most people-it
would worry some supersensitive
and hypercritical old fossils almost
to death-but fortunately for him
he is not built that way. And his
friends, among whom he is no
doubt proud to number some en-
inently respectable people, will
tell you in the blandest manner
that "everybody is liable to make
mistakes and when your back
is turned they will sIyly indulge
in a snicker.
But we must congratulate the
Police Jury. 1t has done much
better than its predecessors. It
might have done better still If we
had been invited to appear before
the investigating committee Zap
pointed last summer) and asked
to prove that the parish printers
oyercharges amounted to $500 or
more-a fact which we proved to
the satisfaction of nearly every
body else through our columns
more than five months ago-but,
under the circumstances, it has
done, at least by contrast, re-
we'll.
Now, gentlemen, keep your eyes
skinned for those other bills.

MINERS ARE OUT.
General Suspension of Work Caused
by Failure to Agree on Wage
Scale in Indiana.

Ierre Haute, Ind, April "A gem
eral suspension of work took place
tuesday IN the coal fields of Indiana
and several thousand men are idle as
the result of the operators and miners
in convention here failing to agree on
the wage scale for the year. Mass
meetings we're held Saturday in many
localities and it was almost the unani-
nous sentiment that a firm stand
should be taken against the operators
demands, that the powder be pur-
chased of them. The miners will stand
by their original demand to buy pow
der in the open market. The annual
wage scale expired Monday, and until
an agreement is reached between 5000
and 5000 men will be idle.

Is Still a Prisoner.
Notwithstanding the taking of the
oath by Aguinaldo he is still held a
prisoner by Gen. Macarthur. 1t is
possible he may be granted more lib
erty of action, but he will not be af-
forded complete-freedom for the pres
.ent. The action of Aguinaldo in TAX
ing the oath, it is believed at the war
department., will have a far-reaching
effect in the p~acification Of the islands.
Information withheld.
The dispatch conveying the informa-
tion contained much mor than was
given to the public. The portion with
held related to the future disposition
of Aguinaldo and made suggestions as
to what the late chief of the insurrec-
ton might accomplish. No official
statement could be obtained as to what
finally would be done with the pris-
oner, but it was emphatically stated
that he would be held for the present,
but would be granted all possible inn
munity consistent with existing condi-
lions. Gen. Macarthur has hopes that
a great deal may be accomplished
through Aguinaldo. During the time
he has been a prisoner he has made
quite a favorable impression upon Gen.
Macarthur.
tshas been suggested that underthe
terms of the notice of amnesty the
prisoner should be set at liberty at
once, but there is a provision in the
amnesty proclamation which says that
those who have violated the laws of
war are excepted from Its terms.
Whether or not Gen. Macarthur has
satisfied himself that Aguinaldo has
not violated the law cannot be stated,
as the prisoner would be permitted to
take the oath pending an Investigation
of his past conduct. A%guinaldo, having
been the head of the instruction, UNI
doubetdly can be held until further
investigation is made, or until the cir
cumstances which surround the stu
alton in the Philippines make it ad-
visable to r~elease.him outright or 9TH
erwise dispose of him. These condi-
tons and the general situation" and
Aguinaldo's relation to them were the
subject of Gen. MacArthur's dispatch,
and are being considered by the au-
thorities here. who will have the final
disposition Of the matter.
News Gives Satisfaction.
The news Of A%guinaldo's action was
received with evident satisfaction by
the war department, and the opinion
was expressed that good results would
follow ar ,ong those who have been
still holding out against the United
States. The taking of the oath in it.
self is regarded as giving Aguinaldo a
status of loyalty to the United States
quite. different from those still in
arms. The departments instructions

portion or provinces, and II he deems 1t APP
propriate. or II his government demands
of him that every citizen shall by an oath
of allegiance. declare his fidelity to h le-
climate government. he may expel, trans
fer. imprison. or fine the revolving citizens
who refuse to take the oath. etc. Whether
1t Is expedfent to do so, and whether re-
lance car be placed upon such oath. the
commander or his government has the
right to decide"
In the present case Gen. Macarthur
has considered it expedient to have
Aguinaldo take this oath, and appar-
emily has held that reliance can be
placed upon the oath. The army reg
ulations make no distinct provision
that the taking Of the oath shall give
complete. liberty to 9 person, although
the above-quoted provision shows that
those m~anifesting loyalty by subscrib-
ing to an oath Of allegiance are to be
spared from the hardships Of war, and
that only those remaining disloyal are
to be visited with the harsh treatment
of war.
The war department authorities say
that offenses against the articles of
war, excepted in the proclamation of
amnesty, refer to murders and like
depredations. Only recently five Fill
Pine officers were executed for such. Of
lenses. It is not known here whether
Aguinaido was responsible id any case
for such %offenses, though from the fact
that Gen. Macarthur allowed him to
take the oath of allegiance it is as
sumed that. the commanding general
does not hold Aguinaldo to be charge
able with a violation of the articles OF
war. It is believed Gen. Macarthur will
