Louisiana Residents organizing In
der the National Association.

NEW ORLEANS. April 2s.-The National
Good Roads Association to-day inaugurated
in his city its series Of conventions for the
purpose OF State organization. The large
attendance and the interest displayed by
the delegates leads the promoters OF the
movement for improved primary transport
tation TO believe hat a strong and vigorous
State organization will result tomorrow.
More than two hundred delegates from
parishes and counties throughout Louisiana
and Mississippi and many from Alabama
gathered in Odd Fellows Hall at the open
ing of the convention. After an address OF
welcome by Mayor Capdeville. Governor W.
w. Heard. of louisiana. addressed the con-
%vention. He referred TO the efforts of the
Postoffice Department to secure good roads
for the extension of the rural delivery sys-
tenn; urged the necessity for good roads If
the congestion of population In cities Is TO
be prevented and declared that they are
necessary to secure the best results in all
lines of agricultural industry.
President w. b. Moore, of the a%ssocia-
ton, outlined its aims. and in the course Of
his remarks affirmed the necessity for
speedy construction of the Nicaraguan
canal. He then detailed plans for perma-
nent state organization. lie was followed
by Hon. Martin Dodge, director OF public
road inquiries, United States Department
of Agriculture. who described the marvel
GUS progress made in other lines of trans
portation in contrast with the progress
made I'm primary transportation. He said
that we have already proved that we could
attain a very cheap rate OF transportation
by the application of modern methods in
other directions, and that there Is no rea-
son why, with the application OF the same
principles. we may not reach the same re-
suits i'm primary transportation over the
highroads of the country. He suggested
the apportionment OF the cost of such roads
among the state, parish or county and
property owners directly benefited, and a
demand upon the United States govern
ment for aid in this direction.

London paper. the Saturday Review, tells
US another blood-curdling story. This
time it is not all Europe but Germany
that is preparing TO humble if not ami

The Review says, is building navies Of

Germany. the London papers tells Us, is
to seize South America. but to do this 1t
must first overthrow CT cripple the Nation
which supports the Monroe doctrine, which
stands in the way of the occupation Of
South America by Germany. The Review
finally drops its disguise of indifference
and says that when the tug of war comes
Great Britain should ally herself with
Germany rather than the United States.
The reason assigned for Germany's de-
sire for South America is that many Ger
man immigrants in that region arc dis
satisfied with the rule i'm Brazil and Chile.
and have asked their native country TO
rid them of that allegiance by making
those countries wholly or in part Ger
man colonies. The question naturally
arises, how many natives of Germany are
now In the two South American countries?
In Chile. 5000 Of it's 100000 inhabitants are
Germans. and less than 500 so there each
year. At the present time the immense

there may be 1900 of them in that coun-

Oberlin Carter is sent tc the peni-
tentiary and made to disgorge his
III gotten gains. But the courts
and the executive officials of the
state aud the nation are not the
only parties responsible for the es
cape Of INSCRIPTIONS criminals.
Our laws fail to engender respect
very often because individuals and
corporations, Tor some temporary
or pecuniary good, are ready to
compound crime with men who
ought to 90 behind the bars.
A case in point comes from
Lowell, Mass. Two bank employees
thinking they had inside Informa-
tion on the copper market, used the
banks funds TO speculate with. As
q result the bank was soon out $780,
600. OF course, this is on occur
renee far too common in banks, and
while we pity the victims of over
confidence, we cannot condone tie
crime. But these two fellows were
no ordinary defaulters with good
intentions. They well knew that
by proving previous good charaet-
er they might secure much sympa-
thy. But they also knew at the
very least they would spend some
years in the penitentiary. So in-
stead Of going to Canada or Mexico
pennlless to begin life a new. they
took all the m3ney they could lay
their hands on. some 100000. and
notified the directors Of the bank
they were ready TO compromise the
matter. The outcome Of the whole
matter was that the bank got back
all but $4,000 Of its funds and
the two precious rascals who knew
the advantage Of wholesale robbery
go scot-free.
From the purely business stand
point the action Of the Lowell bank
directors may seem iustifable. It
was merely prudence TO lose sl15,-
600 rather than enter into litigation
which would probably have put the
bank into the bands o; receiver.
But when the moral side Of the case
is considered the action OF the
directors as both blameworthy and
criminal. Il was a clear case of
compounding felony and ought to
be severly punished. The poor
clerk who because Of sickness in
his family borrows without leaye
from his employer is s dangerous
man in the eyes OF the law Bat
certainly fer moro dangerous is the
man who takes all a bar 3 surplus
IN order that he may be able to
dictate terms to his employers.
And ifthc latter is TO escape, will it
not dem0ralize the whole banking
business' The Lowell bank has
ESCAPED the necessity Of closing its
doors by its prudence %, butia so
doing has endangered the ssfety Of
every other bank in the country.
