People Living in Glass Hou-

An old saying, which becomes applica-
BILE to an article written in the last issue
of the Review. Of-course the Review Is
the instrumental organ Of the dissatis-
fed faction of the so-called Democrats,
who bolted their party in the last paro-
chial and State election in this parish.
Their wound in their recent defeat has
not quite healed mp yet and in their dis
tress they have recourse to every means,
legal or illegal. to try to save them
selves from another and more disastrous
defeat on the 18th inst. Such clique
has the audacity to find fault with the
present assessors poll books, whilst in
their corrupted administration every
thing was permissible, unqualified vo-
tiers we're enlisted on the poll books bv
some officers who were not commission

above mentioned article would do much
better to leave the past go by and not
bring back to the memory of the intelli-
gent people of this town. its filthy re-
cords, for these past records il recalled
will only throw reflection upon those
who were their instigators. K

The Texas Decision.
Daily States.


The decision rendered last week
by the Austin Court of Appeals in
the case Of the Shippers Compress
Company is an important one.
Aside from the fact that the Tex
as Trust laws are declared uncon-
stitutionai, the court also declare
that:
Zone may, if financially able,.
acquire all Of the property of a gil
ven class, provided the purchase
was not made for the purpose of
injuring or accomplishing HARM
full results to the public; and from
bare exercise Of the privilege it
cannot be inferred that the pur-
pose and intention was to increase
a monopoly, or that a monopoly
may necessarily result from such
extensive acquisition"
The meaning OF this decision is
that the state cannot prevent mo-
nopolies by calling them trusts,
and that no law can be devised
| which will prevent a concern from
becoming as large and as powerful
as it pleases.
Should application Of the equit-
| able principle thus laid down be

Company litigation the Govern.
ment case is foredoomed to failure
The Court here distinctly limits
the right to acquire property sole
ly to ones financial ability to pay
/ for it, and declares that possession
of "all the property Of a giver
class" does not necessarily imply
monopoly.
It is recognition BY a ladicia
tribunal that centralized owner
ship and control is not Of itsel
against public policy; that mono
poly must be proved to exist from
clearly defined premises, and no
inferred from shadowy 'potentia
lisies; that the weight Of the Law
is not upon the side of predicatins
monopoly from control or absulnt'
ownership only; that monopoly

eludes exact statutory definition
and that Legislation born of popu-
lar clamor rarely stands the test
of application.
This decision wipes away the
last vestige of the antitrust law of
Texas, just as the Supreme Court
decision wiped it away as to inter-
state matters. Now the question
arises, anew, how are the monsters
to be regulatedY There is but one
remedy and that is by means OF
the taxing power. The Federal
Government taxed state banks of

ground of national expediency,
and it was done under questions

have unquestioned power to lay
taxes in any manner that may suit
the necessities of the people.

When the cows are to be kept in the
stable through the winter, each stall
should have it's drinking trough kept
filed with water where the COWS can
reach it at any time, says farmers
bulletin No. 151, issued by the agricul-
tural department at Washington. Such
an arrangement is not expensive, as
iron trOughs large enough for the use
of two cows in adjoining stalls can be
purchased very cheaply. By placing
them on a level in connection with
supply pipe and using single float
valve to regulate the flow, there will
be no waste and each trough will re-
ceive frequent supply of fresh water.
There are objections to this individual
system of watering, however, and
some good dairymen prefer the over
flow trough so placed that COWS can go
to it in stormy weather without ex-
posture.
When the COWS are to spend the day
out of doors the feed lot should be we'll
provided with troughs, SO that each
animal can drink whenever she wishes
without danger of the weaker being
worried and driven away by the stron-
ger.
Gentle Treatment Of Cows.
Every owner of q COW should see
that gentle and quiet means are used
in drawing the milk from her. Many
good COWS are spoiled by rough milk
ers. When it can be done, the same
person should milk the same COW every
time. Gentle treatment will surely pay,
and the matter of profit should always
be kept in the foreground. We like
to see the cow reach around and lick
the mixer; then one can be sure that
harmony does prevail.
Canadian Butter For Australia.
While last year Australia exported
$4,000 tons of butter, this year the
drought has so cut off the feeding crop
that there has lately been a carload Of
Canadian butter sent there in a steam
er from Vancouver. The price paid
for it was above that paid in Canadian
markets. 1t goes in cold storage and
il it reaches there in good condition
further orders are expected.

The Cook Was Safe.

An Italian prince who had Sicilian
cook was once travelling to his pro-
vincial estates, taking with him his
cook, together with his entire kitchen
force, without which. so fond was he
of the delicacies they were wont to
prepare, he rarely if ever travelled. AT
point where the narrow path along
the precipice turned the angle of pro-
jecting rock the prince. at the head of
his long cavalcade, heard a shrek and
the splash of a body falling into the
torrent far below. With a face white
with horror he pulled up and. looking
back, exclaimed: 1.-THE cook! The
cook! Oh, do not tell me it is the cooks
mo, your excellency," cried voice
from the rear, sit is Don Prosdocemo."
The prince heaved a sigh of intense
relief, then said: "Ah, only the chap
lain! Thank goodness
