Captain Myrtle Boat Club.
An animated discussion over the re-
suits of the first race on Regatta Day
which was declared by the judges to
be no race-took place yesterday after
noon in front of the Hawaiian News
Company. w. w. Harris, who made
the protest for the Myrtle crew against
the alleged action of the Healani crew
In foullng the reds, had an argument
with G. b. Wilson, one Of the Judges.
The entire discussion hinged on the
fouling of the two boats just off the
lighthouse. Mr.. Harris pointed out
that after the race he went to the
judges barge and there made a verbal
protest on account of the action Of
Klebahn in coaching the Healani crew
off the lighthouse and against the
Healani crew fouling one of the Myrtle
oarsmen. Mr.. Wilson stated that he
was cognizant Of nothing but the writ
ten protest, which was filed with the
judges before the intermediate race,
Mr.. Wilson contended that in the pro-
test nothing was said about Klebahn
coaching before the lighthouse was
reached, and that the main contention
or the Myrtles did not appear in the
protest until the fourth point was
gained. He argued that this point
should have been made first, instead of
placed at the end Of the protest.
Mr.. Harris then stated that as he
had made written protest it would
have been an act of courtesy on the
part of the judges to have made a
written decision. Mr.. Wilson stated
that 1t Mr. Harris, as one of the pro-
testants, had made a written request
for written decision, it would have
been Forthcoming. Mr.. Harris replied
that it was probably too late for a
postscript to be added, but even with
put it, written protest required
written answer to wit, a decision in
10 such request had been made of him,
Ind the decision having been given be-
ore the protest was filed in writing,
10 written decision was necessary. Mr..
Harris contended that the judges,
When they gave their verbal decision,
we're not in possession of the facts as
presented in the written protest which
anne to the judges some time after
ward, and that the decision, was not in |
lccord with the presentment of facts
IS written, and that If the race could |
.ot be given to the Myrtles he argued, |
hat 1T should have been given to the |
1ealanis. As a result of yesterdays /,
treet, conference, which was over |
card by large number of persons in
crested in the result, Mr. Wilson |
tated that written decision in line

RAILROAD COMMISSION

Judge Lee yesterday handed down his
decision in the case of the Railroad Com
mission of Louisiana vs.. the Kansas City
Southern railway, in which the road had
been fined $1,000 by the Commission for
removing Guy spur, situated four miles from
this place. :The judge set aside the fine of
the Railroad Commission, holding that it
had authority to impose the penalty.
This is the first suit of the kind that has
arisen in the State and has attracted consid-
cradle notice. The fine was assessed against
the road about.a year ago and caused con-
sternation in railroad circles.-Mansheld
Journal.
Should the decision of Judge Lee
be affirmed, the usefulness of the
Railroad Commission will be con
siderably curtailed. Of course if
the Commission has not the author
ity to enforce it's judgments, it will
not be able to accomplish anything.
To impose fines and not collect
them will certainly not inspire re-
spect for the DEGREES of the Com
mission. That seems to have been
the trouble with the Interstate
Commission. Its decisions have,
in most cases, been rendered null by
the judiciary. The railroads con-
cede nothing and have the means
to make the most stubborn fights
before the courts, and the conse-
quence is that If there is possibil-
ity Of defeating the purpose of the
sure to avail themselves of it.
With the Federal statutes regula-
ting interstate traffic and the law
placing safe guards around the
rights Of property, the State Com
missions are greatly handicapped
and the good they are able to do is
very limited.

It is really surprising to what
lengths some men will 60 to evade
the law. Particularly IN the whiskey
business mans ingenuity has been
taxed to the utmost in attempting
to violate the law without being
amenable to It's provisions. We
had heard of blind-tigers and many
devices invented by liquor-dealers,
but the following case, related by
the Mansfield Journal, easily caps
the climax:
Wednesday morning Judge Lee handed
down several opinions, the most important
of which was that in the case of the State
vs.. Asa Burton for selling liquor without
license at Logansport. The defendant had
fatboat anchored about the middle of the
Sabine river, on which he sold liquor.
Owing to the fact that the Supreme Court
of this State not long since rendered de-
cision designating the middle of the river as
the dividing line between Louisiana and
Texas and in order to defeat justice in both
States, Burton kept his barrel in the middle
of his boat. half in Texas and half IN
! Louisiana. When man from the Texas
side bought liquor of Burton the fluid was
drawn from the louisiana end of the barrel
and the Louisianians were supplied from the
Texas end. This trick worked well for
= while, because the proof of Burton's guilt
was hard to establish. but at last good
case was made and Judge Lee has pro-
nounced Burton guilty as charged. The
sentence has not yet been passed, but it is
understood the fine will be heavy. The
case will be appealed.

Tho Lafayette Industrial.

New Orleans States.
The Lafayette Gazette gives en-
couraging reports in Louisiana's
newest ec vocational experiment, the
Southwestern Industrial Institute.
The Industrial School at Ruston
has long been doing most efficient
work in the Northeastern part of
the State, the State Normal at Nat
chitoches amply provides for the
central and Northwestern sections,
and the State has now completed
the work by the establishing of an
Industrial school in the splendid
old historic town of Lafayette. La
fayette is situated IN the center Of
the great Creole section of the State
and her people made noble exertions
to secure the location of this fine
school there. 1t has now been in
operation several weeks and enough
is already known of Its progress to
Justify the wisdom of the State in
locating it there.
With a full corps of instructors
and a fairly good amount appro-
priated for its conduct, we look
upon il as being "ne of the most
hopeful of the States educational
surprised if good reports are not
heard from it in the near future.
Its patronage SO far is drawn mainly
from the parishes contiguous to La
fayette, but as it grows older and
the advantages it offers become
more widely known, its circle of
influence will extend and Lafayette
will become one of the important
educational centers of the State.
Lafayette is located in the midst Of
the most thickly populated rural
section of the State, and the re-
markable progress and develop
ments occurring throughout that
entire section will naturally rebound
to the benefit of the school. Sur
rounded by the sugar, rice and oil
fields which have lately come into
such prominence, the industrial
school has added another attraction
to Lafayette which must insure her
future and make her one Of the
most desirable towns in the South
in which to live. And the school
will in turn be be 1efted by these
great developments that are taking
place all around it. The industrial
training given there will enable it's
graduates to take prominent part
in the opportunities that will be
opened for educated brains and
trained hands, and the heavy de-
mand for expert service that will be
felt throughout that section will be
greater even than the Industrial
School will be able to supply during
the next few years. The work is In
the hands of competent and able
instructors, and that the South
western Louisiana Industrial School
will work distinct revolution in
that conservative section of the
State there can be no sort Of doubt.

If the big plantations near Monroe were
divided into small farms and sold to white
farmers, business in Monroe would hunp
itself. The bad roads and hgidRes would
disappear. the old rickety school houses
and churches would be removed and mod
ern, comfortable ones would take their
place; the productiveness of the parish
would increase, the wealth of the parish
would be augmented; lands would crawl
higher in valuation; society would become
months in the year, instead of only two
weeks near Christmas.-Monroe News.
This is applicable with almost equal force
to nearly every section Of the State. Large
estates and wealthy absentees are truly a
bar to individual Independence. prosperity
and happiness.-Baton Rouge Advocate.
This is all very true. Large
plantations are not conducive to
the prosperity of country and to
the happiness of the people. Not
only do they hinder the advance
ment of the rural districts, but they
are serious obstacles to the growth
of towns. They patronize the local
merchants as little as possible.
The owners generally spend their
money in the large cities and, as
a rule, take no interest In the pro-
gress of the community. They
care nothing for the local schools
and for other public institutions.
The good citizen is the man who
is part of the community and
whose welfare is involved in the
prosperity of the country. The
man who cares for a town or a par
ish only for what he is able to make
out of 1t, is at best, an undesirable
citizen.
Large plantations do no good.
except to the owners and possibly
to a few other people.
The Monroe News is right in its
opinion that 1t is far better to have
the land divided into small farms,
settled and worked by the owners.
Farmers, who own their homes, are,
in nearly all cases, good citizens
who have every reason to promote
the commonweal. Their families
attend the nearest church and their
children depend upon the local
schools for an education. They
are therefore interested in fine
churches, good schools and i'm
proved highways. AS their pros
perity and the protection of their
homes is matter of the greatest
importance they are pretty certain
to throw their weight and influence
on the side of honest government
The man who pays taxes has more
at stake than the one who owns no
property. Even if it is merely
through selfshness, good govern
ment means more to him than to
his properties neighbor.
OF all the parishes in South
Louisiana we believe Lafayette
has, in proportion to area, the
largest number of land owners. Few
farms in this parish exceed more
than 900 acres, and a vast majority
are much under $50 acres. If such
conditions prevailed throughout
the Union, our public institutions
would be far beyond the reach of
the corrupting influences of cor
porate wealth., for we have Jefferson
as auth ority that ''the small land
holders are the most precious part
of State" They are better pre-
pared to repel the encroachments
of wealth than the artisan or the
day laborer who must often look
to his oppressors for food and
raiment.
