Lake Charles DisgOrges About Eighty
OF Her TenderI0in T0HghS Upon
NeighbOring Towns.

Saturday night Lake Charles citi-
zens to the number of sixty or seventy
made a raid upon the worst portion OF
the tenderIoin district and gathered
about eighty toughs, male and female,
into their net and escorted them to the
depot, where tickets were secured for
them and they we're sent across the
line into Acadia parish. We under
stand that the Crowley chief of police
refused to let them land there, but that
they landed at various stations along
the line. 1t seems no one was hurt
further than on or two obStreperOus
bucks, who got their face beaten up
before they would get their tickets.

The Louisiana Constitution.

Times Democrat: The people of
Louisiana will vote at the coming cleo
ton on thirteen constitutional amend
ments. No part of the American po-
litical system has called for more Sc
were Or juster criticism than this con-
slant tinkering and patching up of
Constitutions. No sooner is one ad-
opted than the Legislature sets to
work to batter it to pieces. Our pres
ent organic law is only eight years
old, but within that short period one
hundred amendments have been pro-
posed to it by the Legislature. Near
ly one thousand have bee offered IN
the General Assembly, but most OF
them got no further. AS for the city
charter of New Orleans, passed ten
years ago, and believed at the time 10
be model, it has been solbattered by
amendments that very few fragments
of the original law remain.

TranSients Not Wanted.

Plcayune: Conservative American
opinion IS adverse to placing any un-
reasonable restrictions on immigra-
ton so long as honest and industrious
people from other countries desire to
come here and make this country their
permanent home and link their future
with its destinies. But for people
who merely come here as transients
to make money which they could not
make at home and then return whence
they came with their profits, there
should be only the coolest sort of
welcome. Such people TO the country
no good except possibly to make up a
temporary deficiency in the labor sup
ply. They are never likely to acquire
any knowledge of our laws and Gus
toms, and can never be depended on
TO bear any share of the country's
burdens or perform any portion of.the
service which all citizens owe to the
country which supports them, and in
which they find home aud protection
for life and prosperity.

Important To Japanese.

According to the Constitution of the
United States, the Japanese cannot
become citizens of the United States
and his importation by Southern Rail-
roads is either a violation of the alien
labor law or should at least be re-
stricted by our government
The railroads seeking population
along its right Of way, or increased
earnings and tonnage, rarely stop to
consider where the material comes
from, or what harm they may do to
the country or even their own Inter-
ests. 1t will only be a question of
time when the railroads as well as
the public will regret the indiscrimi-
nate importation of japanese into
this country. We have nothing but
the kindest feelings for the little brown
people who so valiantly defended their
home and national existance in the
late struggle with Russia, but their
destiny must be restricted to the east
rather than encroach on the western
civilization. If not, they will come
here and encroach on every industry,
and their savings will 60 back to
their fatherland.

There are manv objections to the
Japanese for settlement in this coun-
try, they can never vote or become

heathens for thousands of years.
They will depreciate the value OF adj

Work of Parish School Board.

Before adjourning last Thursday
the parish school board passed a reso-
luton that will effect the teachers of
the parish first grade schools, in that
it will have tendency to raise the
salaries. The salary of the DeRidder
High school principal was raised to
$1l0 per month, the salaries of the
principals of the Vinton, Sulphur,
Oakdale, Oberlin, Lake Arthur, Kind
err and West Lake schools were fixed
at minimum of $75 and a minimum
of 800 per month.
A primar school was established at
Merryville pending the construction
of the Merryville High School
w. S. Hutchinson was elected as
director of the Welsh school to sue
coed Paul Daniels, who resigned.
A rather peculiar matter came up
before the board, and that was the
problem of dancing in the school
houses. 1t seems that number of
dances have been held in the school
rooms of some of the buildings, and
desks have been taken up to accom-
modate the jewellers. This has caused
considerable inconvenience to the
teachers, and upon the recommen-
dation of the Grand Jury, it was de-
clded to prohibit the continuance of
such use of school property.
Supt. John McNeese reported that
he had INSPECTED the Ardoin and LIE.
Bleu school buildings and had found
them built in the manner prescribed
by the plans with everything attended
to. He advised the acceptance of the
buildings (which was done and the
board adjourned to meet upon call.

TO HANDLE MAILS
FOR GOVERNMENT
Syndicate Offers To Take Con-
tract And Pay For IL.
See Chance To Make Money, Where
Government Has Failed TO Make
Expenses.
SUGGESTION IN GOOD FAITH.

Washington, Nov. 2S.--Uncie sam
will be asked tomorrow to turn over
10 syndicate OF capitalists the con
duct of the postal business. In re-
turn the syndicate proposes to give
the country penny postage and bet
ter and more busness-like service
than has been provided under the
present system OF government opera
ton. The tender will be made by w.
ID. Boyce, Of Chicago. to the joint
committee of congress investigating
postal abuses and intrusted with rec
ommending reforms which has been
in session in New York and resumed
its meetings here today.
The offer has several objects. II
is true that capitalists have been
found who believe that money can be
made by a monopoly of the postal
business. Whereas the government
has failed to make the postal depart
ment paying institution, these cap
italists believe that by the introduce
ton Of business methods they can put
the department on a dividend-paying
basis The WellsFargo Express com
pany saw enough money in the monop
oily to offer the government a bonus
OF sl.000.0O0 a year. If permitted
to run the postofiice.
Objects of the Offer.
The Boyce proposition is made In
good faith and will serve the double
purpose of emphasizing with the pub
lie the fact that there are capable
business men In the country who be-
lleve that they can give the people
penny postage and an excellent serv-
ice. The offer will have the effect of
showing to the people that these bust
ness men, who will give satisfactory
bond. will guarantee to give the pat
rons Of the postoffice reduced postage
rates which the department officials
unite in reporting the government
cannot afford to do.
The proposition, broadly stated is
that the government shall withdraw
from the field OF controlling a public
utility and shall place the business of
transporting and delivering the mail
In private hands, as the express bust
ness is conducted. The capitalists
who are willing to assume the burden
win pay the government rental for
the postoffice buildings adj over the
country and will charge the govern
ment regular rates of postage on its
mail, which Is now carried free. II
Is roughly estimated that the govern
ment would offset in money derived
from rentals of the buildings the
charge It would annually be required
to pay for the transportation of its
mail.
Bearing ON Railroad Issue.
incidentally there Is concealed in
the proposition an argument which
may later 10 taken up by the oppon-
ents of government ownership OF
railroads. The OFFER will permit these
opponents to argue that the govern
ment, in Its experiment with the own
ership of the posts, has failed to reach
that stage of perfection possible UNI
der private ownership.
