A New Iberia Visitor.

We had the pleasure Wednesday
of meeting IN our CITY, New lberla's
newly elected mayor, Hon. J. E.
Dupuy, who was a business victor.
Mayor Dupuy is young man full
OF progress and of marked business
ability, aud we congratulate New
Iberia on the wisdom shown in Sc
lecting her principal municipal Of
6cer. Mr.. Dupuy says that while
they have one of the most beautiful
towns IN South west Louisiana they
are DESTROYS of making 1t even more
beautiful by paving about three
miles of her principal streets. Be-
fore entering upon this era of i'm.
provement he has shown his Wis.
dom by visiting Alexandra and
other South LOUISIANA towns who
are at present making many street
improvements TO see If he could
learn anything along these lines
thet New Iberia could improve up.

Another Case Of Beam Against Mote.

y . x a5 ~ - 8 & 2 6 q r..
Referring to the recent lynching
of negroes in Delaware and Illinois
which, with other acts OF lawless-
ness in different parts Of the country,
indicate that humanity in rage is
just as prone to excess in one sec
.tion Of the country as in the other,
the Atlanta Constitution very forci-
bly, says:
This is a good time for just men
in both sections to agree that their
first duty is to sweep before their
own doors, further civilize their own
local societies and increase the ef-
ficiency Of and confidence in their
home judiciaries before either party
undertakes to read righteous oracles
to the other and pronounce judg-
ments Of damnation without dis
elimination the one upon the other. !"
And, while commenting upon this
subject, might it not be just as well
for the president of the United
States to first try and cast out these
beams from the eyes Of American
civilization before he attempts to re-
move the mote that is in the eye Of
his Russian brother.

The custom Of "shoe throwing as
an emblem Of good luck, is account
ed for in various ways. Some think
that it is a relic of the custom by
which the bridegroom was wont to
carry off his bride by force amidst
the good humored assaults of her
relatives, while others say that as the
shoe was in ancient days a sign Of
authority, the throwing Of it is a
symbol of the transfer Of parental
right to the husband.

The Great American Laugh

Gods greatest gift to man was the
laugh. Without it the human race
would have swept itself to death or
exterminated itself long ago. Pathos
is beautiful. Tragedy is absorbing.
But both pathos and tragedy are in
stantly routed by the laugh. Laugh
ter has sunshine in it. 1t is warm.
Learned men have searched for the
secret Of life. What is it but good
humor? That's the secret Of life be-
ing worth living. What sunshine
is to earth good humor is to man.
Take the smile and the laugh away
and it would be the end of man. Men
can't fight while they enjoy a
joke. Death himself recoils from
the langh. The man in good
humor has an enormous advantage
over the man who is angry. Anger
is dark. Bitterness is filed with
shadow. Intolerance is grim and
black. Prejudice is blind.
Good humor- with the smile and
the laugh-is the sunshine in which
objects ere plain aud distortion dis.
appears and wherein phantoms be.
come nothing. One reason fol
Americas greatness is that above all
lit is q nation that laughs. There
have been gay peoples and frivo
lous nations, but gayety and friyolity
are strangely akin to melancholy
That gay Germany whose nationa
happiness is expressed in song ii
clouded by melancholy. Sadness
|pervades the temperament Of Ger
mania. And frivolous France how
tragic she becomes how desperatel,
tragic! The great American laugl
is another thing. Investigate tn,
American national laugh, and there
a sound, practical something behint
it. It is never a forced laugh. 1t i

account of a good natured speech re-
Gently delivered in that historic city

has been making frequent trips
down into Dixie, ever since he went
there in the sixties in a uniform of

to please southern audience. We
read the report of Mr.. Jewell's
speech with pleasure and then had
our pleasure blighted by turning to
another column Of the same paper
where we found the following bru-
tai item:

In a Dilemma.

A short time ago one Of two twin
brothers became demented and was
found by examination in the probate
court tobe in that condition. A COM
nitment to the insane asylum was
made out, and as the other twin, who
closely resembled his insane brother,
was able to control him better than
any one else, he was deputized by
the sheriff and the commitment turn
ed over to him to convey the un-
fortunate brother to the asylum.
Shortly after the two brothers ar
rived at the asylum the sheriff re-
ceived the following telegram from
the superintendent: Two brothers,
who look just alike, are here from
your county with but one commit
ment. One is constantly talking of
building q railroad to the moon and
the other that the Republican party
is opposed to trusts. Which one
shall / put in?

The Friars' Lands,

The news of the settlement of the friars'
land question in the Philippines is very
gratifying. Negotiations have been slow,
but there were many difficulties to be over
come. Judge Taft and the pope's special
representative have labored increasingly,
and are now rewarded by result which is
approved both here and at the Vatican. The
fact. that the price agreed upon is scarcely
half of what the friars asked for their hold
ings is no warrant for assuming that the
friars have not been fairly dealt with They
are, as all their history in the Philippines
shows, a forehanded company, and set out
in their dealings with this government to
drive the shrewdest bargain possible. They
put their figures high. with the view of
lowering them after little chaffering, and
what they have received is doubtless a
liberal appraisement of the property. Moth
ing remains now but the withdrawal of the
few Spanish members of the orders left on
the scene, and the situation from the re-
ligious standpoint will be greatly improved.

Uncle Sam and Hawaii.

II is rather a surprise to learn, through
The Stars correspondence from Honolulu.
printed today, that the federal govern
ment has been seriously derelict in Its duty
toward the territory of Hawaii in the mat
ter of maintaining the strictly national
features Of the insuiar equipment. When
the islands were annexed the government
took over the customs revenues and left the
territory to maintain itself out of its other
resources. For some reason or other no
move has thus far been made to include
the harbor equipment with the other items
of federal expense and the territorial funds
have been spent in the maintenance of the
channels and the lighthouses. The Stars
correspondent writes that there is a serious
question as to Hawaii'S ability to continue
this practice much longer, as there is ur-
gent need of all the available funds for
strictly domestic purposes. The territory is
even now negotiating loan on the main
land TO raise the funds requisite for certain
improvements which fail properly under the
category of its own expenses, and it is only
Fair that the islands should be relieved as
far as possible Of the burden of federal
maintenance. for which there are ample ma
tional funds. Certainly the harbors of
Hawaii. which play an increasingly import

possible condition, as to both channels and

case Of New York OF San Francisco en-
phatlc and probably effective protests
would assuredly arise Immediately. In or

pie of Hawaii the federal government
should move forthwith to correct the faults

matter

az a world power. But at the same time,
without particular reference to the imme-
date circumstances. without rejecting In
the slightest upon the propriety of the gov
ernments course in this immediate present.
some thought should be paid to the Incl
dental evils Of the naturalization system as
now in vogue.
This Alexandria, affair is an unpleasant
recurrence Of the difficulty In the Beirut out
break. AS the laws stand the United States
is forced to grant naturaliza ton to all who
comply with the legal requirements as to
residence and capacity for understanding
the principles of this government. But 1t
is a notorious fact that citizenship has
been granted to thousands of men who
have lacked the first essentials. either OF
residence or understanding. Furthermore
thousands of citizenship certificates have
been granted to aliens who have forthwith
departed for their native lands. intent upon
violating there the customs. and, perhaps.
the laws secure in the so-called rights OF
their newly acquired American citizenship.
The founders of this republic did not intend
nor do the people today desire, that the nat
uralizati ton privilege extended to the peoples
of other lands should be thus abused.
But the remedy Is in amendment of the
practice under the law, and not in laxity of
enforcement. 1t is the duty of the United
States to insist that the citizenship of all
it's people. whether native or adopted, shall
be scrupulously respected.
