Treat Them All Alike.

The Court was in session here
this week, civil cases only were
tried.
The Grand Jury was also in ses-
sion, and itappesrs that the Grand
inquisitors investigated nothing
but the affidavits from Justices of
the Peace. The Grand Jury has
adjourned without making a writ
ten report.
A new law was passed this year,
by the last Legislature fining hes-
Willy and imprisoning those carry
ing concealed weapons, and it ap-
pears that no one will be brought
to Court for this effeDse except
that poor fellow who dropped his
pistol in the Court room while in
q drowsy condition? Can it be
that the Grand Jury could not find
more than one violators of this
law in this parish?
No indictment of the violation
of the Sunday law was reported
when it is known to every body in
this parish that the law was OPEN
ly violated all over this parish.
Can the officers of the law pretend
that they know nothing of these
violations?
Can it be justice that in the
same District that the violators of
Iberia parish be fined $3.50 and
the violators of st. Martin parish
be not. even indicted. The same
law should be regidly enforced in
the entire District and we trust
that the Judge and District Attor-
ney will see that the Grand Jury
give attention to this matter, and
that the violators of the Sunday
law in st. Martin parish are pla-
ced on the same footing as those
in iberia.
We are not warning against the
violators of the Sunday law, but
We believe in justice to the others
who respect the law, that violators
of the Sunday law should be pun
ished, because by their boldness
and defiance of the law, they pro-
fit at the expense of the law abid.

That they will make a special eff

Don't Knock Your Town.

A little weak chick with it's soft
little bill can break it's way out of
an egg with comparative ease.
Those of you who have tried crack
ing an egg on your nuckles won-
der how the chick does it. Scien-
lists have a very simple explana-
ton for it. which lie this: The
chick knocks from the inside, and
the arrangement Of the particles
that make the she'll are such that
they are easily driven apart from
the inside, bat wedged together
when struck from the outside. It's
the same way with a town. The
knocks from the outside have lit
tie effect but even light taps from
the inside are disastrous. Its the
knockers at home that hurts a
town. Don't knock; boost instead,
and there will be no knocks from
the outside.

BARNES IS SLATED FOR PLACE
The President has the reputs

The President has the reputa-
ton of standing by his friends.
This reputation is sustained in the
appointment of Benjamin f. Barnes
to the postmastership of Washing
ton, says the Savannah News. Mr..
Barnes was assistant private Sec
rotary to the President and is the
man who figured in the Mrs. Nor
ris incident. Indeed, it is declared
that he was chiefly responsible for
the ejectment of Mrs. Morris from
the, White House. It is predicted
that when his nomination comes
up for confirmation the Morris
case will be reopened. Senator
Tillman says he is disposed to OPP
pose the nomination not only on
account of the Morris incident,
but also because Barnes is a car
pet Dagger, he being from New
Jersey. Senator Tillman makes
the point and it is a good one,
that there are residents of Wash
ington who are capable of filling
the position. In his opinion there
is no good reason for appointing q
man from outside the city.

The reports of the lapsing OF
life insurance policies make very
unpleasant reading, Apparently
thousands of policy holders scat
tered all over the country are re-
fusing to pay any more premiums.
They are either throwing away
their policies altogether, and thus
are losing all the money they had
paid to the companies, or are max
ing settlement with the compan
les on the basis of the premiums
which they have already paid, and
are getting out. In that case they
sacrifice little, but they save
something out of the wreck.
These policy holders are unwise
Vast amounts of crookedness have
been revealed in the big compan-
les, and some policy holders fear
that the rest of the companies are
also honeycombed with graft
This is an unsafe deduction.
The companies which have been
run chiefly for the benefit of their
leading officials and friends are
probably very few. And gener-
al housekeeping has taken place
in those few. Corrupt and ex-
trayagant officers have been
thrown out and men who will run
the companies in the interest Of
those who pay in the money
that is, in the interest of the poll
cy holders-have been installed.
A great Improvement has been
forced in the personnel and the
management of the big companies.
This change, it is likely, will be
permanent.
Under the conditions policy is
worth more in 1906 than it was in
1905, or in any previous year since
the grating began. The man who
holds term policy is likely to
realize more on it when it natures
than did those whose policies ex-
pired in recent times. The ex-
penses of running the companies
are being lowered. The absurdly
large salaries of the heads of the
companies and the big commits
sions allowed to favorites of the
insurance chiefs have all been
abolished, so far as the general
public has learned.
The steals of various sorts which
seem to have been perpetrated
with considerable freedom in the
past few years have ended. In the
absence of all these drains much
larger sums will necessarily be
left for division among the policy
holders. Pay up your premiums
regularly. Hang on to your poll,
cies. This is the advice which
should be needed by every insured
person in the United States.

FAIA TREATMENT is ACCORDED

Georgia, says the Chattanooga
Times, "has the largest negro pop
ulation of any of the Southern
states and has likewise less trou-
BILE with them. The Georgians
protect their law abiding blacks
and give them full consideration
As consequence the Georgia ne
gro is generally satisfied and con
tented. He knows what to expect
if he is good and he is sure to get
it good and hard when he is bad
In fact, the mutual understanding
between the whites and blacks OF
that State is quite complete and
accounts for the general good or

SYSTEMS OF WRITING.
The Famous Method Known as the
BouStrODhedou


The Famous Method known as the
BOustrOphedOn.
About the year $50 B. G.. the Ionians
first introduced the system of writing
from left to right. Previous to that
time all scribes and penmen in general
had been in the habit of beginning the
line on the right hand side of the page
and running it toward the left. The
introduction of the left to right mode
Of writing caused considerable confu-
sion for q time. and from the mixed
systems which prevailed during the fol-
lowing century sprang the famed meth
cd known as the boustrophedon. Those
who used the system last mentioned
would begin line at the left margin
Of their parchments and run it through
to the opposite margin and then drop
space below and run back to the op-
posite edge of the sheet again. In 9th
er words, the boustrophedon mode of
writing was a system in which the lines
ran alternately from left to right and
from right to left This system did not
entirely disappear until about the time
of Christ The ancient Hebrew and
| Greek languages were written from
right to left. but at about the time the
Ionians were reforming writing meth
DDS the Greek letters were changed in
/ form from the uncial to the cursive,
and the system of writing was changed
in both cases SO as to run from left to
right The following quotation from
Franklin illustrates the mixed, or bous-
trophedon system OF writing:
