A Victory For Sugar.
Daily Picayune.

The United States Supreme
Court yesterday handed down u
decision of much importance to
the sugar trade of the United
States and to the Louisiana sugar
industry in particular. We refer,
OF course, to the ruling on the
Russian sugar case, affirming the
correctness of the action of the
Collector of Customs of New York
in levying a 'countervailing duty
on importations of Russian sugar
on the ground that Russia paid
either a direct or indirect bounty
on exports Of sugar.
The importer of the sugar paid
the duties assessed under protest
and entered suit 20 test the case.
It will also be remembered that
the Russian Government became
90 incensed that it Increased du-
ties arbitrarily on many American
products, and for a time collected
these extra duties. The matter
was finally dropped by Russia, af-
ter the situation came TO be better
understood.
The Supreme Court holds that
Russia pays an indirect bounty on
the exports of sugar and, there
fore, Russian sugar imported into
this country came under the pro-
visions of the Dingley law.
It will be recalled that q great
rumpus was made by some of the
leading Eastern newspapers and
the manufacturing industries be-
cause of the discriminating duty
which Russia levied for time on
American manufactures. The su-
gar people we're roundly denona-
ced and all sorts of dire things
threatened. It now turns ont THAI
the sugar people were right.
The Russian Government held
that it did not pay bounty, but
levied only an internal revenue
tax and merely returned this tax
when the sugar was exported. The
Court how holds that this draw
back of the internal tax paid on
the sugar stimulated expectation,
and, therefore, production, by
making a market abroad for the
surplus, hence the drawbacks was
in effect u duty on exports and
should be legally Offset under the
provisions of the Dingley law by
the imposition of a countervsiling
duty equal to the amount Of the
indirect bounty.
The action ofthe Supreme Court
will, it is hoped, confirm the de-
termination of the beetgrowing
countries to abolish the bounties,
as agreed in the Brussels Confer
ence.

Improving The Teche.

a mass meeting Of our people here,
on the 25th instant. in order to
organize, form committees to pro-
cure the information necessary to
present the matter to congress.
Several surveys have already
been made of the Teche by the
United States government with
the idea of improving the Teche
up to Arnaudville, the parishes
have gone to the expense OF pro-
curing data that showed very
plainly the importance OF the I'M
tprovement of that stream.
The reports of the engineers
and the amount of the commerce
of this section were favorable, and
the belief of our people was that
immediate attention would be gi-
wen this great and importan
matter, bot they we're greatly and
.sorely disappointed in their ex-
spectations.
The Valley Of the Teche, which
comprises a vast territory of the
most fertilelands, producing large,
abundant crops, many depending
largely upon the Teche to bring
these crops of cotton. cane and
rice to the industries that use
these raw materials into manufac-
tured goods.
We are today confronted by
new problems that can only be
solved by the Improvement OF Be-
you Teche, by dredging up to it's
source, digging canals etc.. in Or
der to give enough water in the
bayou continually to insure the
rice planters of a constant snd
safe supply Of fresh water for the
irrigation of their crops, with the
improvements in view this would
be safe. without them, we may
'sgsin see what we saw last year,
the Teche going dry.
Besides the above mentioned
Industries we have the lumber in
dustry which is Of the greatest
importance to this section OF
country, when the Teche is az
low as it was last season, the mills
have to close down, and with more
irrigation plants on the Teche the
next season, We may expect to see
the bayou still lower than it wsa
the past year, and our people will
suffer greater inconviniences.
With the contemplated improve.
ments logs could be foated from
above instead of the long and ex.
pensive route through the lakes
and the Atchafslays. and the bur-
den of the hyacinthes which a,
times render some of the swsmr
streams unnsvigable.
The people have realized the
fact that they cannot depend al.
together upon the national govern.
ment and the Legislators to secur.
these improvements, although they
can be of great assistance, aud il
order to give more weight to this
vast enterprise it is necessary that
the people of the Teche, from one
end to the other, take the matter
in hand, through committees ap.
pointed, and help push it until i,
is completed, and il they 20 tc

the children are prepared to aid in
the finances of the Sunday School.
The superintendent and teachers
may urge the Importance of the col
lection but what does it amount to
if the parents are careless in the
matter. Talk with the child about
the Sunday School. If you cannot
go to find out yourself, learn
through the child, what the work
ers are striving to do. Children
are forgetful, remember this, and
as soon as possible talk over with
them what has been said or done
while fresh in their minds, as SUI
perintendent or teacher may have
charged them to inform you of
matters of mutual Importance.
Help them to remember these
things, but above all things do not
encourage tale bearing and fault
finding. If the child does not love
its teacher, rest assured the Sup
erintendent will find it out and see
where the fault lies without your
interference. Know your childrens
teacher. Identify yourselves with
the Sunday School by your interest
in it, through your children.
There are a thousand and one
ways in which we may give our aid,
so let us arouse ourselves and, as
parents, be wide awake, earnest

schools and in our houses.

Sentimental.

The Atlanta News says: "An

of as tender a little drama of the
emotions the other day as was ever
brought out behind the footlights.

a Union veteran, was on trial for

was guilty, but told how he had
been driven to the ways of crime
through extreme want.
The jury was made up of ex-

Conference.-The sheriff was an eX-
Conference.-The solicitor was, as
all the others, an ex-Confoderate
soldiers. The prisoner had plead
guilty" What could they do but
convict? This they did, the jury
recommending mercy. The Judge
assessed the fine, one dollar, the
sheriff paid it, and the solicitor
ordered it handed to the prisoner.

out of the box with grateful tears
streaming down his old and wrink-
led cheeks; afterwards ex. Confed-

JERICHO AND THE JORDAN.

JERICHO AND THE JORDAN.
jericho, March IL, 1908.
Dear Judge: The distance from
Jerusalem to Jericho in an air line
is about thirteen miles; but by the
carriage road it is eighteen. This
broad and excellent turnpike, with
high stone parapets at the danger
points, was constructed in 1889 by
eight hundred men to smooth the
way OF the German Emperor to the
Jordan. The descent from Jerusa-
lem to the Jordan is about 1000
feet, and the distance twenty miles,
the river being about seven miles
east of ancient Jericho. This fam
Gus "Bloody Way" as it is justly
named, passes through the Jeshi-
mon, the bowling wilderness
amongst whose weird and petrified
pillows the scapegoat of the Jews
was let loose to lose himself in the
savage desolation of its lonely
peaks of arid stone, or the dark
abysses in which are hidden the
feet of dizzy cliffs. Behind these
appalling precipices are unexplor-
ed caverns, the impregnable haunts
of wild beasts and savage men.
save where the lonely and gloomy
homes of devout monks, suspended
on peaks and cliffs, apparently in
accessible, excite the amazement
and admiration Of the traveller.
The road passes around the
southern slope of Olivet, over the
hallowed spot of tender memory,
where Jesus prayed and wept aloud,
and by his sacred home of Bethany,
at the edge of whose fertile basin
desolation and descent begin At
the foot of the steepest grade along
the steep route are the "waters Of
En- Shemesh," or Apostles Foun-
tain," the only fountain on the
road. About halfway to Jericho is
. tic KHAN OF the GooG Samaritan"
A single word from Jesus has given
immortol fame to this spot, and the
poor fishermen who waited on His
word have named the solitary foun-
tain, where illustrious conquerors
and mighty kings for thousands of
years halted to rest and slake their
thirst. Three times | have travers-
ed this alluring highway, and to-
morrow when the sun kindles on
the purple hills of Moab, / shall be
