Hearst is struggling with might

Democratic Presidential nomina.
ton, with very little if any chance
OF success. Mr.. Hearst might
have the qualities essential for
the making of good President,
but he is minus any kind of a
record as a statesman and has
never figured in public life. 1t is
even questionable whether he
would have any considerable fol-
lowing among the labor classes.
With q good man at the helm we
consider the chances of Demo.
cratic triumph in November better
than four or eight years ago. Why
not trot out Parker, of New York.
Boies, of Iowa, or Patterson. Of
Pennsylvania, with a no more
6tting choice for the Vice-Presi-
dency than our own Murphy j.

The Southern Good Roads Com

The Southern Good Roads Con
vention which will hold forth il
| New Orleans April 9th and I'll

the assistance of Governor w. w

ident of the Louisiana Good Roads
Association, Hon. Paul Capde.
vile, Mayor of New Orleans, and
the combined commercial organ
izations of the city, should be one
of the most important gatherings
that has ever agitated the State
Of Louisiana in the past twenty
years.
The improvement Of the country
roads is something that should
appeal to every reader of this
paper, as it represents factor in
the development of the agriculture
! al areas and in the advancement
of community life, too potent to
be disregarded or put aside with
a mere casual inspection or con-
sideration.
IL the more populous and veal
thy states of the country, progress
siveness and advanced civilization
has followed the development of
the country roads in almost a
given ratio. Farmers are un-
doubtedly benefited by the i'm
provement of the highways gem
orally, because they are enabled
to reach markets earlier and are
put closer in touch with cducation-
al facilities and business centers
as we'll as having better and more
direct communication with the
railway lines of their State.
Louisiana, if it desires to devel-
op along all lines of modern pro-
gress should strongly support any
movement looking to the i'm prove
ment of the country roads.
The New Orleans Convention
will undoubtedly lead to a much
more extensive consideration of |
the subject and will probably de-
vote part of its energies to devel-
oping a plan for systematic road |
with State or paro-
chial assistance.
Delegates have been requested
from each of the police juries,
municipalities and commercial
organizations of this State, and q
view of the extremely low rate
which will apply to New Orleans
covering the convention dates
given by the railroads., there is no
eason why these delegates should
lot he appointed and should not
attend. One result of the New
orleans Convention will be the
permanent organization of the
Parishes in Louisiana
food Roads Association on a SUBJ
tantial basis and this alone will
'e a much needed improvement.
The necessity of sending dele ,
::ates to the Good Roads Conven-
ION Is apparent in order that the I
tate secure the benefits of 80
ereticial an agitation, and the
arish and community should he
epresented.
