provides a much larger Federal

he says, the militia can not be

CATION of the number of children

made by employers for the pro-
lection of their employees.
There are a number of other
minor Recommendations. such,
for instance, as a law requiring
levee boards to make biennial
reports to the Legislature: legiS-
latiOn that will assure speedy
trials in criminal cases: an in
crease in the bank examiners
force; more liberal road laws, etc.
These several recommends
tions are supported with the
reasons for making them. Under
these circumstances they will
inevitably be brought before the
Legislature for consideration and
action, when they can be dis
cussed more at length and the
arguments for or against them
can be weighed.

Gov. heard's nessage
Democrat, May IL.

AAAApOA OduU pOAtIOuS VI UlIc ulcS-
sage of Gov. W. w. Heard, sent
to the Louisiana Legislature
yesterday and read before that
body. 1t is of exceptional length,
some 10000 words, and while it
presents a very thorough and
complete review of the several
State departments and bureaus,
and a resume of their operations
during the four years of Gov.
Heard's administration. it is inn
possible here, and unnecessary,
to give all the vast amount of in
formation it presents. This in
formation is contained in the
reports of the several depart.
ments, but the Governor gives it
in a briefer and more concise
form: and We shall content our
selves in noting the various re
concentrations made and which
are likely to be discussed if not
acted on by the Legislature.
It will be remembered that
Judge Blanchard, during the
recent primary campaign. spoke
of the possibility of reducing the
State tax rate. Gov. Heard does
not see much chance of doing
this, as the expense of nearly
every department of the State
grows with the increase in popu-
lation. He notes that these
departments ask for larger ap-
preparations, pointing out the
greater work they have to do:
and in almost every instance he
recognizes their demands us
reasonable, and urges that larger
appropriations be granted.
The Governor notes the fact
that the State bonds fall due in
1914, and suggests that the
Legislature should take into con-
sideration the matter of provid-
ing for them. Two plans are
suggested, exchange of the bonds
for those bearing a lower rate of
interest, 3 instead of 4 per cent,
and a new issue, the proceeds
from which would retire the ex-
listing bonds. If the former
plan were adopted-and Gov.
Heard thinks it is preferable, as
it would at once save the State
100000 interest a year-the
Legislature should take up the
matter at once and act on it
promptly.
He recommends a number of
changes in the election laws,
especially the town elections in
the smaller towns; the extension
of the present city registration
SO as to correspond with that of
the State; and the abolition of
the provision requiring the minor
town officials to receive commits.
sions from the Office of the Sec.
rotary of State-a provision that
causes a great deal of unneces'
sary work and frequently delays
their occupying their Offices.
There is no reason why they
should not take charge at once,
soon after their election, without
waiting for commissions from
the Governor.
There should be some change
in our insurance laws, the Gov
ernor declares, but he prudently
declines to say what the changes
should be. The amount paid for
insurance premiums, he points
out, is steadily increasing, the
rate is higher than it was, and
the amount now paid in Louisiana
for protection against fire is
n~roo for fhon tho ou<;ro COST M

all branches of the public service
are closest to the hearts Of the
people. H. recommends, there
fore, that the Legislature do all
in It's power to improve them:
and he is equally liberal in APP
proving the requests made by
the several State colleges and
institutions for larger appropria-
tons, declared necessary to i'm
prove and extend their educa-
tiOnal advantages. Specific re-
concentrations in regard to the
schools are Il more thorough and
careful school census, showing
the number of children attending
the schools, parochial and private
as we'll as public-and the Gov
ernOr believes that if the correct
figures are obtained it will re-
lieve Louisiana from the charge
made against it of great illiteracy
and of having an exceptionally
low percentage of its educable
children at school: and the divi-
sion of the State school fund
among the parishes on the basis
of the number of children attend
ing the schools rather than the
number of children of school age.
Both of these suggestions are
excellent. SPECIAL conditions in
Louisiana have resulted in an
exceptionally large attendance of
children at parochial schools, so
that Louisiana is made to appear
most disadvantageously. As for
the present school fund appor
tionment. it is thoroughly un-
sound. a number of parishes
cooking" their figures in order
to get a larger share of the fund
than they are entitled to.
Gov. Heard thinks that the
Legislature should make better
provision for the protection of
live stock from contagious dis
eases, and favOrs the adoption of
a law providing for the inspection
of food for cattle and horses in
much the same manner as fer
tilizers are now inspected.
The message contains a num-
Der of suggestions in regard to
the Judiciary Department of the
State. The Legislature is urged
to provide more literally for the
Attorney Generals office, which
remains the same as nearly
thirty years ago, in spite of the
growth of Louisiana and the
great increase in legal business
that the Attorney General has to
handle.
Gov. Heard renews the recon.
mendations made in his last
message in regard to the changes
in the judiciary. He would have
two Courts of Appeal for the
country parishes, each consist
ing of three judges, and with
these courts it would be possible
to reduce the number of distric
judges from thirty to twenty. L
will be remembered what
"bOtch" the last Legislature
made of the matter. It was will
ing enough to create new judg
ships, but not to abolish thOs'
already in existence. and tool
the position that it was elected
to create new Offices instead o
reducing those already existing
The people were Disguised ant
voted down the judiciary amend
ment by an overwhelming major
ity. 1t is scarcely likely tina
this mistake will be repeated

That fred Feeling

If you are languid, depressed and incapable for work, it indicates that your liver is out of order. Heroine will assist nature to throw off headaches, rheumatism and ailments akin to nervousness and restore the energies and vitality of sound and perfect health. J. J. Hubbard, Temple, Texas, writes, March p, 1902: q have used Heroine for the past two years. It has done me more good than all the doctors. When feel bad and have that tired feeling, take dose of Heroine. It is the best medicine ever made for chills and fever" 50cts a bottle at J. Heub- ner's drug store.

Mike Beltzboover. the ieweler, return,

Mike BeltZhoover, the jeweler, return ed last week from visit in Kansas and Arkansas. He reports unprecedented prosperity in the short grass country, and wages good, but his health was not improved by that climate-in fact he says he felt better the first day he landed in Douglas.
 Mrs. Jennie Alexander, the efficient teacher in the primary department at the public schools inthis city, departed on the Dolphin to spend her summer vacation in the States. She will visit relatives and friends in Seattle, Port land, and Denver, Colo, and may take in the St. Louis Fair.
 pr. Gibbons visited the St. Louis Fair during his sojourn in the States. He says the Alaskan exhibit was not all in place, but promises to be very creditable one-considering the meager appropriation, which looks small when compared with the S1,000,00o for the Philippine exhibit.
 Word comes from Alex. Smallwood, who is sojourning in Newfoundland, that he recently met with very serious accident. While attempting to thaw out some frozen powder an eX- plosion occurred, which nearly cost him the use of his eyes. As soon as he recovers, Alex. will come back to that dear old Alaska.

 Rev. Father Bougis informs us that he has recently received a letter from Martinique Island, stating that Mrs. George w. Stephenson died there on April 17th. The children are we'll and doing finely. It will be remembered by many of our readers that MT. and Mrs. Stephenson formerly lived at Treadwell. Upon the death of the husband, the wife and children went to Martinique, and it was afterwards re, ported here, that they were among the unfortunate victims of the Mt. Pelee disaster. This was not the case as they lived on the opposite side of the Island.

By the provisions of a recent act of congress, the women of Alaska are to be granted the right of suffrage. We'll and good; Alaska women may we'll be trusted to exercise this right, although they have not asked for it. The women of Alaska are usually of the kind that stay at home and tend the babies, plan spring bonnets, make over old dresses, and mind their own business, but if the poker-playing, champagne drink ing, pleasure chasing congressman think they should vote, they will do it with their accustomed grace and modesty, and in an intelligent manner, too. The women of Alaska, God bless, them, are not the pampered dolls of society who drive men to the devil and drink, but they are brave and noble helpers in the development of frontier country. They have left their cosy homes in the states to take their places by the side of theirlhnsband and share with him the battle of life. When the cruel winds of adversity have chilled I the blood and appalled, the stoutest heart, these women have had words of cheer and comfort for the distressed. Alaskans are willing that they should vote and have no fear of the conse. quences.

$4,000 MINERS
In Iowa Will Return to
Work.

Des Moines, Ia, April 14!-Fourteen
thousand Iowa coal miners who have
been on a strike for the past three
weeks will return to work next Mon
day as the result Of an agreement en-
tered into whereby both sides to
the controversy make concessions.
Although the miners voted by de-
cisive majority to reject the five per
cent reduction In wages, they have not
stood out on this ground at any time,
but have based their strike upon the
refusal of the operators to make GER
tain concessions as to the prices of top
men, drivers and day laborers and the
price Of powder.
The operators have hitherto been un-
compromising In their stand. The
terms of the new agreement could not
be learned tonight but It was asserted
that the strikers were satisfied with
the concessions made.
