MUST HAVE ROADS AND BRIDGES.
And How are we to get Them With.
ont Money. ASKS Tnknl

hoItOr American: After reading 4
report Of the grand jury wherein it
says; 1--WE desire to reitaratetho sng-
"eHIIon made by the former grand ill.,
ry that the item of 100000 annually
appropriated for public improvements
De omitted from the budget, believing
Ihat the special taxes from each ward
devoted to such improvements will he
sufficient for actual needs. " wish TO
explain to those who DO not know,
snat this money is used only for pub
nc roads and bridges.
Each ward gets $1,000 out of this
fund and it is the only money that
comes back directly to the country:
not only for the benefit of the farmers
out Tor everybody else.
This special road tax which most
roads have mot all of them have a
special road tax and those which do
not have not a dollar to spend for
roads outside of the $4,000 should |
not be taken into account, as the
farmers have voted that extra tax in
stead of working the roads as thew
used to.
Now then, if the parish has to cut
aown expenses why, | should like to
ask, should just the $50. 900 of pubIic
road money be cut out? Why not cut
I'll other expenses in proportion? Are
ne court house, poor farm and other
parish expenses more necessary and
u greater Importance for the comm
llty at large than the public roads
nd bridges?
We all know that CaIcasieu parish

FAVORS A SINGLE GRADE
FOR ALL DIPLOMATTSTS
John w. Foster Declares That Dis
tinctiOns and Privileges Should
Be Abolished.

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 23.."There will
be no satisfactory settlement of dip
lomatic rank until all distinctions and
privileges are abolished and a single
grade is established in all the capitals
of the world" was the statement made
to-day by former Secretary of State
John w. Foster in an address before
the section of diplomacy of the Arts
and Sciences Congress on The Proper
Grade of Diplomatic Representatives.
Foster laid stress on the importance
of establishing a system of diplomacy
which would not subject representa-
tives to inconvenience and even in
dignity because of their lower rank
as Ministers. He added:
The late trouble between the United States
and Turkey grew out of the fact that the
American Minister could not have access 10
the Sultan and higher officials, because he
did not possess the rank of an ambassador
and the Turkish Government refused to agree
70 the appointment and recognition of Enbas-
sailors with the United States.
Professor Albert w. Smith of STAN
ford University addressed the section
on mechanical engineering.

DUN's VIEW OF SITUATION.
Mercantile Collections Being Less Tar
div Met.

NEW YORK. Sept. 23.-R. G. Dun
& Co.'S review tomorrow will say:
Trade expands as confidence increases of the
harvesting of crops and mercantile collections
less tardily met. Lower temperature slim
ulates the demand for fall and winter wearing
apparel and there is more disposition to pre-
pare for the future rather than TO confine
operations within the limit of immediate re-
quirements. This improvement is extended to
all departments of manufacture and in the
aggregate there is less idle machinery than
at any recent date. Settlements of labor dis
putes have helped in the development of this
favorable condition. Railway earnings for Sep
terlber were 81 per cent larger than year
ago and foreign commerce at this port for the
last week shows a gain of 81, Gas. 6ST in ex-
ports, compared with 1903, although i'm
ports decreased $716, 76O.
Tin is erratic in response to London quota
lions rather than any domestic influence, but
copper is strong because of heavy exports
Increased activity at the mills has helped to
sustain the Eastern markets for wool and
brisk competition at the London auction sale
was also a. factor of Importance.
Firmness continues in packers hides indie
pendent tanners making liberal purchases
Large sales of branded and Colorado hides
are recorded and there is the usual con-
cession hides taken off during the strike
by INEXPERIENCED men, Country hides are
weaker. but receipts Of foreign dry hides are
quietly absorbed
Failures this week aggregated 225 in the
United States, against 232 last year. and
30 in Canada as compared with 10 a year
ago.
