Thursday, January SC

We are running people without
extending to them the protec-
ton of our Constitution, but we
are not yet prepared TO surren-
der any of our Constitutional
provisions. That touches us a
bit too closely. We may, for
awhile, reconcile ourselves to a

Federal despotism at home, a la
Napoleon the Third, is not to

THE SEASON OF GIVING.

This is the time of the wear
when the thoughts of every one
are Of the good cheer that may be
given to others. 1t is the time of
the year when in celebration of the
holidays each and every one
searches his mind 20 find a sugges-
ton therin for gift to the one he
or she loves best aud it is the time
when the auticipations of the young
are raised TO the highest pitch.
II is an old saying, but neverthe.
less a true one, that there is more
Joy in giving than in receiving.
For that reason the storekeepers
are Kept busy by the intent of
mankind to reap the most enjoy
ment possible. That the buying
has been more liberal is not the
fault of the people but of the times.
In days of plenty and bounteous.
crops with fair prices there is more
giving and receiving than this
year. But the intent is there and
that is what is recognized today.
Only day or two ago a mer-
chant of this city said that there
had been an unusually large num-
Der Of customers this ante holiday
season but the total of sales was
less than normal. The people
simply could not afford to spend
90 much money as formerly, but
more of them than usual had been
imbued with the spirit of the sea-
SOD.
With combinations of planters
and farmers and growers and di-
versifed farming there is yet in
store for the people of this section
Of the world the most prosperous
days. When the time arrives that
the tiller of the soil is able to make
his product and receive a fair re-
muueration for his labor, the prac-
tice Of giving will be still in vogue
and il is to be expected that as pros
perity comes so shall the value of
the gifts increase. There is no
more generous people on the
face OF the earth than in this part
Of Louisiana and all that is lack
ing in these days is the means of
proving this assertion to the world
at large. Perhaps if the generos-
lily Of the people had not been tax
ed 80 heavily in the past, the pres
emit closeness Of the money market
might not have been so noticeable

PASS POSTAL ISSUE
ALONG TO Congress

Washington, Nov. 2e.-The post
office department will be guided by
congressional legislation in dealing
with the issue raised by the Canadian
government in abrogating the provi-
sions of the postal convention between
the two countries relating to second
class matter which, according to Can
ada's notice will expire May 2, 1907.
This provision permits the transmits
sion through the mails of periodical
publications at the rate of one cent q
pound.
A joint committee of the senate and
house, Of which Senator Penrose is
chairman, has been engaged since o.
tober in taking testimony covering
the whole subjet of second-class mail
matter and as an outcome of the in
quiry the general expectation is that
some legislation will be enacted.
If no legislation is enacted, then the
two governments will fall back on the
international union postal rates when
the provision in the existing treaty
expires, unless, in the meantime, Can
ada shall come forward with a rev
proposition for the consideration of
this government.
The international postal rate on
second class matter is one cent for
two ounces.
