PACKING THE COURTS.

Packing jury has always
been regarded ms 30 heinous thai
public opinion has always con-
demned it The evil Of jury pack
ing lies in the fact that biased men
are put, on the jury and its i'm
partial character thus destroyed
How many of our people recognize
that "A federal court can be packed
A few weeks ago, when the retire
ment of Justice Gray was followed
by the appoint of Judge Holmes OF
Massachusetts, one of the Wash
iugton correspondents stated that
the new appointee was an imperial.
ist and added that the president
would not have appointed su-
preme Judge without knowing his
views on that subject.
The press dispatches report the
appointment of Congressman Ray
of New York to the federal bench
and the public is informed that
Judge Ray was "Senator Platt's
candidate. F" Senator Platt's can
didate is not likely to take the
peoples side of any disputed qnes-
ton. Judge Rays appointment
is for life and, therefore, for an
indefinite period he will decide
eases with constant consciousness
Of his obligation TO Senator Platt
and the great corporations for
which Senator Plattt stands. A
Washington dispatch to tho New
York Herald says that Judge Ray
as chairman of the judiciary com.
mittee of the house of representa-
tives, opposed antitrust Legislation
and took the position that "the
United States congress had no righ,
to interfere with the operations OF
private corporations" Here We
have it. A congressman opposes

IlEE.SAVING RAFT THAT CANNOT BE
SUNK SOLVES AN IMPORTANT
PR0Rt. .EM

The steamer Valley Girl took
about 200 ship owners, yachtsmon
and others down the bay yesterday
afternoon to witness a demon
stratlou of the capabilities Of the
Carley life float The float is cas-
ilv handled without tackle or ma
chinery of any description, and IN
the water will support more per-
sons than could he crowded into q
boat, besides being noncapsizable
and nonsinkable.
The Valley Girl went as far as
the Romer Beacon and then the
raft was thrown overheard. 1t
took two men to slide it Off the
deck, and l6 men who had been
taken on the steamer jumped off
the deck, swan to the float and
climbed in. The float used yes
terday was five feet by eight, and
Is persons could have got inside.
Men climbed on one side Of it with
the idea of turning the float over,
but it still kept on an even keel
and floatcd with the tide. Then
Poars were passed to those on tho
float and they padded about until
every one was satisfied that tho
float was n success.
The float has already been put
on some of the battle ships of the
United States Navy and on the
transports, and it will soon be
used on some of the ocean liners
It consists Of copper tube, with
many mir tight compartments. The
tube is covered with two inches OF
compressed cord and wound with
canvas. Attached to this cylinder
is a rope netting three feet deep,
from which is suspended by rings,
which travel on lashings, a wool
Slated bottom. The float is con
structed in such a manner that no
matter on which it may fall upon
the water the bottom falls through
and is in its proper relation to the
buoyant cylinder. Oars and signal
flags are lashed to the sides.
Those who get on the float stow
themselves into this clliptical de-
vice, the wool.slatted bottom sink
ing about three feet by their
weight. The cylinder which floats
on the water is about their waists.
They are not in danger Of being
swept off, aud eau keep ailoat un-
til picked up. The small raft
used yesterday weighed 225pounds,
Larger ones weighing 525 will sup
port IS persons.

A man who is receiving 80 per

ascertain how much better off he
was than in 1897. He found that
in that year he was receiving 81. 80

provisions which amounted to 80. 40
would, at prosperity prices, have
amounted to 81 20, In other

A LUCKY ARSCESS

There can he no doubt TINT Thco.
dore Roosevelt is the lucklest man
in America After n three weeks
engagement as bouncing and vo-
cifprous hero in Cuba. he came
back to the United States to drop
into the governorship of New
York. A conspicuous failure rs
governor, he was consigned to the
vice presidency to he eliminated
entirely. Then came tho assassi
nation of Mckinley, and heslipped
or rather bounded into the
presidential chair. AS president
he has gotten nearly everything IN
a tnngle. lie has upheld civil
service reform with his mouth and
stabbed it in the back lie has
been for and against tariffrcvision.
He started lot of talk about the
trusts and then apologiaod for it.
Aud right at the threshold of his
Western tour he has involved
himself and party in such mess
of inconsistency, tergiversation
and mental disorder that the fu-
ture was dark indeed. SO uncertain
was the situation that the president
held conference with Republi
can leaders in order to ascertain
what he ought to say on his West
ern tour. Whether he followed
their advice or not we do not know
but every one could see that in his
Cincinnati speech he offered no
practical solution of either the
tariff or the trust question Ii was
only too evident that if he ladIed
out this sort of dishwater to the
people of Iowa aud other Western
States, he would have created a
universal disgust, aud would have
involved his party in mostserious
embarrassment. No doubt the lead
ers we're in despair. A man who
could reverse his own trolley as
promptly as the president has done
in a number Of instances, was not
apt to adhere to any policy that he
and the leaders might agree upon.
II he made concessions to the
Western demand for revision he
would offend the East aud prove
recreant to the sacred principle
of protection" If he did not yield
to that demand, he was apt to
ALLEVIATE seriously large part of
the Western people. How to
choke off this perpetual mocking
bird was an apparently insoluble
problem. Prospects were dark
aud gloomy for the Republican
party, aud especially so for the
fortunes of Roosevelt. If there
were only some way to shut him
mp, the leaders would have been
satisfied. But just when it was
most needed, an abscess formed in
the presidential leg, and the swing
round the circle came to an end.
Never in the history Of politics
was an abscess so gratefully re-
ceived. The presidents luck takes
curious forms, and even his mis-
fortunes and diseases minister to
it. Aud so an abscess saved the
day, and the leaders are happy
once more.

Tho Baton Rouge Advocate Of
fers a plan by which at cost of
of $50, 900 annually, school houses
may be erected all over the state.
TO us in Calcasieu it should appeal
with force.
Here 1t is:
The present state debt is far
under the constitutional limit; it
will FAY due and will be re-bonded
in about eleven years. The next
legislature should submit an
amendment to the constitution to
be voted on by the people, for the
issuance Of 81 900, 900 in bonds to
be known as the Special Public
School Bonds, bearing 3 per cent
interest and running for forty
years. The Advocate thinks these
bonds would sell at a premium.
Then when any parish in the
state would vote like sum of
money it would be granted $12,
500 OF the money thus realized
and the whole amount OF $25 900
is to be devoted to the erection of
modern brick school houses of the
same model aud design, so that
wherever the traveller might go
through ,he state, he would find
the. little temples of learning all
similar in appearance and only
differing in size according to the
needs Of each locality.

your blood is bad, your health must suf-

both poor and impure blood, for 1t Is
