The reason why there was an emer-
gency calling for a special appropria-
ton for the Panama Canal, which was
met by Representative Hepburns bill
appropriating $16,5OO,OOO are shown in
a recent speech by Secretary Taft. He
stated that by December l, the United
States would have spent 100000, 900 in
the course of acquiring the Isthmian
canal. The payroll of the canal now
amounts to about 100000 a month,
and there was no money on hand with
which to pay the December payrolls.
According to Secretary Taft 'it will be
necessary for Congress to make an
emergency appropriation to carry on
the work without calamitous Interrupt
ton. Partial appropriations to meet
current bills and meet the necessary
payrolls will be necessary until the
type of the new canal has been fixed"

X-RAYs AND LEPROSY.

The American physicians attached to
the Board of Health at Manila believe
themselves justified in asserting that
in the proper use of the X-rays they
have found a real and complete rem
edy for leprosy. OF twenty-five cases
thus treated, six have been entirely
cured and all the rest greatly benefit
ed. All have been under observation
for at least six months, and the blood
of those that have been cured shows no
trace of the bacillus. They are unani-
nous in declaring that they make no
claim on the various governments
which have offered a money reward to
whomever should find a remedy for
this formidable disease. A Spanish
physician also writes to FL impartial
that more than a year ago he began
the use of the same remedy and has a
cure to his credit. He also makes no
claim for the reward.

the administration or justice that trials
should be delayed and useless expense
caused to the Territory by trifling ex-
ceptions. Even if attorneys, who in
dulge in such pnactice, believe that
they are impressing their client or jur-
Ors, the practice deserves censure. Per-
haps the trial judge hesitates to re-
buke attorneys for such things lest
that may prejudice the jury against

does not hesitate to pronounce its con-

Our Schools.

We note from the tone of an
editorial of the Valley-of-the-T eche
last week that there is some ten
sion among the people of that
town in regard TO the opening Of
the High School which will be in
operation there shortly.
We are really sorry to see the
opposition or competition which
exist between the public schools
and the private ones, and particu-
larly the religious schools. There
is no reason for this, there is room,
plenty of room for all the schools,
but it is wrong for one school to
oppose or to compete with the
other.
The public schools should not
try to get the pupils from the pri-
vate schools, the idea of very
large attendance does not improve
the efficiency of the schools; the
public schools should be made as
good as it is possible to make
them, but the best result is never
obtained from an overcrowded
school and overtaxed teachers.
The public schools, ON the contra
ny should induce all who can to at
tend the private schools, in redu-

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
The Fever Again.

Last Friday the Parish of st
Martin aud Town of st. Martin.
vile decided that the period of in.
cubatiou had passed at Lafayette,
and there was no more danger oil
the fever from the first case which
had appeared there on the 18th OF
August. All were rejoicing be-
cause our neighbors were consi-
der free from the fever, and all
quarantine raised.
Saturday, however, to our sur
prise and sorrow, another case of
yellow fever was reported from that
town, the patient being Charles
Martin, young man.
The parish and town authorities
the same evening re-established
the quarantine against Lafayette
and guards were again placed on
duty on the public roads of the
parish and the entrances to st.
Martinville.
No report has been made of THE
case rs to positively establish its
origin, it may be from some infec-
ted mosquito which escaped de-
struction from the fumigation,
and which may be at large to
spread the fever as long as il will
live or until it is killed. and as
either its existence or its death is
very doubtful, it will live in the
mild OF the people, this uncertain
ty, which will be the Cause of the
people holding quarantine longer
than is perhaps necessary, but
still, under these conditions of
doubt aud uncertainty. who can
blame upinfected communities in
taking every precaution TO guard
against the introduction of yellow
fever within their limits.
The result iu Bunkie and Alex
andria has been the same, cases of
fever have appeared there long af-
ter the first cases had died or the
patients cured and discharged and
the places declared free from fe-

cling the attendance of the public
schools the teachers, who are gen
orally limited in number, will be
able to give more and better atten-
ton to their pupils.
There is room in every commu-
nifty for the religious schools, par
ticularly, and we are of opinion
that if the private schools will give
less OF their attention to the public
schools and concentrate their eff
forts and energies to the improve.
ments of their schools, make them
first class in every respect and
charge fair price for tuition they
would soon be popular and flou-
rishing institutions, that would be
doing good work and the people
would soon appreciate the efforts
of such schools.
We believe the private schools
are wrong in trying to run opposi-
ton or competition to free institu-
tions maintained by the state at
the expense of the State. Let the
poor children who cannot pay for
their schools attend the public
schools which are doing a noble
work in educating the children of
the masses, rich or poor, the pub
lie schools are here to stay, and
they will remain as long as this
free government last, and this is
for ever.
On the other hands the private
schools and particularly the religi-
GUS schools are also a necessity
and they will also find all the sup
port they need if they only follow
the line of progress and maintain
a standard of efficiency that is re-
quired today of all schools.
1t all the schools would work in
harmony, help one another in bull |
ding up instead of running in OPP
position, they would soon realize
that each school would have their
usefulness, education would be
promoted and the. result in general
would be more satisfactory for all
We need the public schools and

keep from protesting against The
wholly unjust attacks that are bsSI

the reason that the Parish School
Board has seen fit to take the pub.

That there are good many peo-
