PEACE PROSPECTS.

Big doings around oyster Bay Satur-
day. Not since the memorable summer
day when the entire Atlantic squadron
was summoned to that justly famous
seaport to maneuver for the benefit of
the president and his friends has there
been such a joyous occasion. The
bosom of the chief executive must have
swelled with pride, for he could look
upon the spectacle and say, with truth:
See what 1 have wrought For it
was Mr.. Roosevelt who made possible
the meeting of the peace ENJOYS in this
country.
Now that Baron kOmura and Minis
ter Takahira have shaken hands across
the bloody chasm with NJ witte and
Ambassador Rosen, it is proper to hope
that the peaceful mission that has
brought the foreigners to our hospitable
shores win be achieved successfully and
with as little delay as possible It is
difficult, indeed. to believe that the con-
ference can have any result other than
the signing OF a treaty Of peace. If
Russia had not been prepared to yield
she would never have sent ENJOYS. IF
Japan had intended to ask impossible
terms there would have been some IN
timation of it in time to prevent the
assemblage at Portsmouth.
There viii, of course, be much argu-
ment. II is not TO be expected that the
treaty will be concluded within a few
days. Russia viii insist on a modifca-
ton Of Japan's first proposal, no matter
what It contains. AS matter of form
the protest will be made If the terms
are really unreasonable it may be set
down as a fact that they are intention
ally so. that Japan is asking for more
than she expects TO get. So mutual
compromises will be made and the
treaty Of Washington will pass into his
tory
1t is the first time in the history of
this country that IL has been the scene
of such negotiations. For several weeks
to come the eyes OF the world viii be on
the United States. The news that will
be read with the greatest interest
wherever news is read at all will come
from this country. Advertising men
win appreciate the value of this and we
believe the country generally viii con-
slider the meeting OF the peace ENJOYS
in the United States abundantIy worth
all ii Will cost the nation.

A r RESOLUTION.

The School Board at it's last
meeting passed a resolution al
lowing the teachers of the parish
a three days vacation with full
pay to attend the Teachers Asso-
citation which meets in Alexan-
dria in April. The resolution
was correct and just exactly what
a School Board having the educa-
tiOnal interests of the parish at
heart ought to have have done; for
there is nothing more stimulat-
ing to true teachers than associa-
ton with the live, progressive
men and women of the State
Teachers Association, and there
is nothing that will convince a
poor teacher Of his short ccmings
more thoroughly than attendance
at it's sessions. The School Board
has acted wisely, for every teach
er who attends will return with
ideas broadened, and a determin-
alton to do more and better
work, and the children will be
the gamers.

One of the pressing needs of
Lafayette is a new city hall. The
building now used for that pur-
pose was well enough in the
past. but it is entirely out of
place in a town that claims to be
awake and progressive. and
should be consigned to the scrap
pile. The Bank of Lafayette
will in q few months begin the
erection of their new building
on Pierce street, and we under
stand, are. willing to sell their
present building to the city on
most reasonable terms. It is
entirely suitable; for the first
floor would be just the thing for
an Office, and the vault could
serve to keep the books and
records of the corporation. The
second floor would make an
excellent room for the mayors

their way to acquire this prop.

would result in an immense
saving to the railroad company.
That such a trial of the auto
mobile for suburban or interur-
ban traffic should be made is not
surprising, as the idea in diff
ferent forms has been expressed
a number of times, but this is,
so far as we know, the first time
that the thought of using the
automobile as a motive power on
a track has been advanced or the
effort to use it so made.
Considering the practical value
of the automobile exhibited
daily as a carrying vehicle, both
of passengers and loads on
paved streets and roads, and
considering also it's usefulness
and reliability as shown by the
thousands in constant use, there
is no reason to doubt but that
the experiment undertaken by
the New York railroad will be a
big success. Should it be a sue
Ecess, as surely it will. it will be
one of the largest events in our
present history; for it will place
cheap transportation connections
within the reach of all the small
towns. Building railroads or
trolley lines, owing to their
cost, is entirely out of
reach of the average country
town, but an automobile track is
easily possible. The cost is
within their means and it will
not be many years before every
State will be traversed by a
network of automobile car lines.
The experiment should be of
absorbing interest to the people
of Lafayette, for we need rail
connections with the various
parts of the parish badly and
especially a road, steam, electric
or some kind, to Abbeville and
Breaux Bridge. Should the
automobile car demonstrate it's
efficiency in handling suburban
traffic out of New York, and
there is no reason to doubt that
it will, then an automobile road
to Abbeville and Breaux Bridge
is absolutely within our reach,
for the cost will not be beyond
our pocket-books. All that is
needed is unity of purpose, a
strong pull all together and the
trick will be done. And a very
attractive thing about the road
aside from the wonderful benefits
that will accrue to Lafayette is
that it will be a paying PROPOSE.
