INCREASED RATES.

The recent increase in water
and light rates has caused con-
siderable unfavOrable comment
and much dissatisfaction, not
withstanding it is generally un-
derstoOd that the increase was
made in an effort to place the
plant upon a self-supporting
basis. The necessity for making
the plant pay it's own expenses is
recognized, but objection is taken
to the manner, it being urged
that the new rates instead of in
creasing the revenues, will de-
crease them, because of many
present users cutting out the
service, and that the proper way
would have been to solicit new
business. It is only fair to say
that the Council felt that the
burden imposed upon the finan-
ces of the town by the failure of
the water and light plant to
make expenses, should be re-
moved at once, and accordingly
took measures which they be-
lieved, would give immediate re-
lief. The rates as established
are not e~xorbitant, they com
pare favorably with the rates of
other towns in the State and are,
in fact, about as low as the low
est
AS to whether the Council has
adopted the best course to
achieve the object in view re-
mains to be seen. One thing is
certain, however. that a means
to make the plant self-support-
ing should be- found, and not only
should it be self-supporting but
it should show an excess of
revenue sufficient to cover wear
and tear and provide for an
extension of the service.

THE POLICE JURY ACT

In our last issue We called
attention to the public ball evil
and urged the Police Jury to
adopt means for the proper
regulation or abatement of this
great public nuisance. We are
glad to note that the Jury at it's
last meeting took decisive action
on the question by appointing a
special committee to draft an
ordinance for the strict regula-
ton of public balls under condi-
tions that will have q deterring
effect on them.

|ceive of ! higher pubic service
the newspaper may perform
than by lending its influence un-
reservedly to the cause of edu-
cation, whose highest and best
expression is found in the pub
lie school system of our land.
The two local newspapers of
Lafayette, The Gazette and The
Advertiser, have always given
special attention editorially and
otherwise, to the subject of
public education at hOme, and 1t
may be said without any impro-
priety that both of these news
papers have contributed in a
measurable degree to the popu-
lar interest in our public schools.
that everybody acknowledges are
doing a grand work for the chill
dren of Lafayette town and
parish.
The good effects of the coalition
between the newspaper and the
school house in our own midst
are too evident to be mistaken
and should be the pride of the
people of Lafayette-andThe Ad-
vertiser commends the plan to
the other newspapers in Louis
lana, in the knowledge that in
such an alliance lays the most
certain and broadcast foundation
for the greatness of our State.

sires to be known as the jumping
tarantula of the Southwest, the
untamed son of the ChicOt fats,
who weighs a ton and smells
like a wolf, a wild and woody wolf
that constantly screams for con-
iict. In brief Governor Davis
desires the whole world to ac-
cept him unqualifiedly as a ring
tailed hornet from the sand hills,
who will fight at the drop of a
hat and will drop it himself if no
one else is disposed to perform
that courteous act.
Long is Jeff's record of fights
in which black eyes. bungs and
hickies were generously distri-
buted in punches. Such a large
share of these things have come
to the scrappy Governor of Ar
kansas that many people think
that he has gathered consider
ably more of them than he has
been able to distribute among
his fellow citizens. AS a result
of his prOneness to use his fists
upon any offensive presence he
is at the present time wearing a
pair of exceedingly, dark blue
eyes, said to have been inform
ally presented to him by former
Congressman Dinsmore in a re-
cent warm dispute. In addition
to his readiness for a battle at
all times, the honorable JEFF is
noted for a tongue that works
with the rapidity of a gasoline
motor and sprays vituperation
like a garden hose.
It may be, however, that he is
not personally responsible for
the abnormal Development of his
bump of pugnacity which makes
it impossible for the most eau
tious and diplomatic of individ-
uals to approach him without
ruffiing the fur on the bump.
That JEFF will be cured some day
of his surplus pugnacity and be-
come as quiet and gentle as a con.
sumptive patient at y health re-
sort we have not the least doubt.
Even now he is industriously
seeking this cure, although he is
quite unconscious of the fact.
He is rapidly approaching the
day when some opponent with q
fist like an exaggerated monkey
wrench will thump him into
several hours of oblivious
quietude from which he will
emerge with his spirit chastened
and pacifed. The country. we
are quite convinced, will witness
the application of the cure to JEFF
with a feeling Of considerable
JOY, not that it has any particular
grudge against him, but that
there is always JOY in seeing a
man who is looking for a first
class licking get exactly what
he needs.

THE NEWSPAPER AND THE
SCHOOL HOUSE.

THE NEWSPAPER AND THE
SCHOOL HOUSE.
The great power of the Press
is well recognized, and this
power is being generally ex-
ercised in the direction of good.
Who can estimate the grandness
of the results in higher citizen
ship and in material prosperity
that would come to the State if
every newspaper in Louisiana
would insistently and without
ceasing, apply itself toward
promoting and uplifting the
cause of education among the
masses?
This reflection is suggested by
a thoughtful and timely editorial
in the Louisiana School Review
for November, directing the
attention of school teachers to
the great value of the local news.
paper as a lever for moving the
educational world, and urging a
policy of cordial and determined
cooperation between the press
and the schools throughout the
State.
The Louisiana School Review
proposes that teachers form an
alliance with their local news
papers for the publishing of "a
regular weekly school column for
the record of current events in
local schools, communicated by
bright pupils who have won by
competition the position of edit
ors, for their respective schools;
providing, also, for a regular
space devoted to items such as
the voting of taxes for school
purposes, erection of new build
ings and all the evidences of edu-
catiOnal growth in the COM
munity - with corresponding
records for other communities
and sections of the State for
comparison; providing, also, that
every school should get several
copies of the home papers and
that there should be a fifteen
minute period in the school pro-
gram every day for the recount
ing Of current events; providing,
also, that all teachers should en-
courage parents of their pupils
to subscribe for at least one of
tue local papers, thus developing
further the reading habit in the
community and at the same time
enlarging the papers circulation.

Volumes of testimony have been taken

Volumes of testimony have been taken
relative to freight rates and columns of
suggestions made but there is only one
way to settle the railroad question right
and for all time, and that is by govern
ment ownership and operation, which in
addition to putting stop to illegal re-
bates and unjust determinations would
secure for the people lower freight and
passenger rates; less competition and
more equality; better transportation and
less expense to shippers; greater safety to
the public; greater uniformity and sta
bility of commerce; more prosperity for
the producers; better pay and shorter
hours for railroad employees; take then,
out of politics; squelch the lobby; fewer
corporation politicians; fewer railroad
officers and less political bossism; honesty
in politics and better government; no
squabbles over railroad taxation; no pill
ing up of corporation fortunes at the ex-
pense of the creators of wealth. Govern
ment ownership of railroads would ac-
complish all these reforms and more, and
is slowly forcing its way to the front. as
popular issue which is bound to sweep
all opposition aside and eventually wit.
ness its establishment in these United
States.

Asset Currency.

In answer to an inquiry the Commoner
describes asset currency in the following
comprehensive manner
The term 'asset currency" is used to
describe the currency which some of the
fnanciers are now proposing. namely a
currency which does not rest upon gov
eminent bonds as the present currency
does, but merely upon the assets of the
bank. The currency is printed by the
government and issued to the bank with
no security fund back of it. other than a
general lien upon the assets of the bank
If the government does not guarantee the
currency it may become worthless if the
officials of the bank abscond with the
assets. If on the other hand, the gov
.ernment guarantees the currency, as is
advised by most advocates of asset cur
rency. the bank gets the benefit at the
expense of the people. and if the govern
ment does guarantee the currency the
govern nent will have a first lien upon
the assets. among which the deposits are
to be considered, and so not only the
government. but the depositors are to be
considered; and so not only the govern
meut, but the depositors will carry the
risk aud in the event of disaster foot the
bill.

ABUSE OF ATHLETICS.
Muscle building Doe. Not Necessaril

Muscle Building Does Not Necessarily
Improve the Health.
Athletics may be, good or. evil and in
the same manner as "a two edged
sword
The prime object in athletics is i'm
provement of the general health. One
writer has said that health, like hap
piness, does not exist. He said the
body consists of number of mechan-
isms which have the closest and most
exact relations, and as they approx
mate to harmony there is health, but
when disordered there is i'll health.
To obtain good health muscle build
ing is not a necessity. One cannot
Judge of the persons health by the size
and hardness of the muscles. The con-
verse may be true.
To obtain health one must not be in
perfectly trained condition owing to
the effects of severe training on the
nervous system.
There is no evidence to prove that
athletics and muscle building improve
the constitution.
OuC ouOulu hCCP IL ehS
fact that built up or hypertrophied
muscle has tendency to degenerate.
The heart, being a muscular organ,
shares in this tendency.
In regard to the moral side of the
question, it remains to be proved that
athletics per Sc corrupt the morals.
DR.. f. r. Sturgis is confident that ath-
letics improve the morals of a commu-
nifty.
Although the evidence for and
against athletics is contradictory, the
whole subject may be summed up by
stating that athletics are beneficial
when properly and judiciously applied
and very injurious when the precau-
tions above mentioned are ignored or
carelessly regarded.-Medical Record.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1906.

At the close of 1902 33,4I5 systems had
been completed which irrigated $500. 900
acres of land. The irrigation enterprises
cost $e3, $40, 452 and made $4,000 farms
profitable. Some interesting comparisons
which have been made show that the
money spent by Uncle Sam on his navy
in 1904 would have paid the entire cost OF
all these irrigation systems, and left on
hand balance of So, SOC. 900. Accord.
ing to government statistics the amount
spent on the navy would have irrigated
and made profitable an area greater than
that of Maryland and Connecticut COM
bined, or more-than Is, 900 square miles.
Every dollar spent on irrigation has
added to the material wealth of the
nation. The money spent on the navy
did not increase the general wealth of the
country penny.
