they talk nothing but 2-cent fare bill.
"Why do you want to stand alone
In this matuer?" A. Gardner, a fire
man of Cleveland, asked Repre-

Il won't be alone" Rolf answered.
You'll be surprised at the result

The feeling is spreading that,

Louisiana Planter.
Although p:eva el.t reports up
10 date have been DeSSimiStic and
indicative of a short, and per-
haps disastrOusly short cane
crop, there now seems to have
been a very favorable turn in
crop prospects and Il perusal Of
our local letters in this issue
would lead one to believe that the
crop was going to be somewhat
nearer to the normal. Good
rains have fallen in all parts of
the sugar belt and the thorough
cultivation in which they find the
crop has permitted the rapid and
beneficial utilization of the moist
ure and the cane is forging ahead
rapidly.

The Inefficiency of the Law.

The inefficiency Of the law,
which is becoming a serious
menace to the stability of our
institutions, is aScribed by the
New Orleans Picayune to the in
difference and mercifulness of
the people and the attention
paid by ofice-holders to popu-
larity, as will be noted by the
following extract from one of it's
editorials:
1t is the curse of popular govern
ment that the officials to wOhm the en-
forcement of the laws is committed
give too much consideration to the
side of mercy and too little to that OF
Justice. This, in fact, is the complex
ion of the people themselves. 1t is
only when they are specially aroused
that they want anybody punished.
To be merciful is to be popular, and
it is necessary to be popular in order
to be reelected, and in this way, be-
fore we realize it., laws are ignored
and influential and powerful criminals
carry things with a high hand, SO
that violent revolution seems to be
the only remedy for evils that an
honest enforcement of the laws would
cure.

Modest Claims Often Carry the Most
Conviction.

When Maxim, the famous gun in
ventor, placed his gun before a COM
mittee of judges, he stated its carrying
power to be much below what he felt
SURE the gun would accomplish. The
result of the trial was therefore a
great surprise, instead of disappoint-
ment. 1t is the same with the manu-
facturers of Chamberlain's Collie,
Cholera and DiarrhOea Remedy.
They do not publicly boast of all this
remedy will accomplish, but prefer to
let the users make the statements.
What they do claim, is that it will
positively cure diarrhoea. dysentery,
pains in the stomach anG bowels and

DECISION WILL BE co
MENDED.
con.

The decision Of the Council at
their adjourned meeting Mon
day night to move slowly in the
matter of plans, etc, for the new
school building will be generally
commended, as everyone recog-
nizes that such an important
public improvement should not
be rushed through. And there is
really no pressing necessity that
the matter should be hurried,
the building can not possibly
be completed in time for next
session; but there is the utmost
necessity that no mistake in de-
SIGN or construction should be
made.
The building of this school
marks an epoch in the history OF
Lafayette, being the first public
building of any magnitude to be
erected, and the wisdom of hav.
ing it built to meet the needs Of
this particular community, com
biring, of course, a plain and
simple beauty and also har
mony with its location that vii
continue elegant and pleasing
can be recognized at once. Thu

The Bryan Wave.
New Orleans States.

New Orleans States.
It is impossible to mistake the
swing of the political pendulum,
or the fact that the radicalism
so fiercely denounced in 1896 is
the inspiring conservatism of
this year of our Lord. The
Organism despised and con-
demned a few years ago. will be
stronger and more inspiring
in 1908, because in all history
there is no proof that revOlu'
tons ever go backward. This
accounts for the Bryan wave
that is now sweeping over the
country and gaining force with
each passing day. Our Wash
ington contemporary. realizing
the situation, and frankly ac-
cepting it, says: "The Republi-
can President and Republican
party have made Organism the
only wear, and if Bryan is in
augurated President in 1909, he
will owe his victory to the work
of the Fifty ninth Congress that
out organs Bryan"
We do not share the view thus
expressed by the Washington
Post. It seems 70 Us that the
fact has been made rather clear
that Mr.. Bryan saw and under
stood the evils and corruption to
which the country was a prey
some years before they became
clear to the mental vision of the
American people. hence the lat
ter could not appreciate the viz
tue or the value of the remedial
policies which he advocated as
necessary to relieve the country
of the ills it was suffering. In
other words Mr.. Bryan was
about ten years ahead of the
times, but since then wrong and
corruption have burst through
the lid that concealed them anG
the people have been stunned by
seeing for themselves what th'
Nebraskan saw so plainly as fal
back as 1896. This. and no
what the Republican Congress!
have done or failed to do, &C
counts for the Bryan wave tina
has made its appearance SO sud
denly and with such force.

CITY

Elsewhere we publish a imam
cial statement of the town for the
past year, submitted to tie City
Council by Secretary Colomb.
which is an excellent presenta-
ton in brief form of the receipts
and expenditures for the year
ending May 81, with recapitula-
tons which assist materially in
showing the purposes for which
the disbursements we're made.
The statement shows the town
to be in excellent condition, there
being a balance in the general
fund of S5,722.7O and in the
special fund o. S 1859. 78, or a
total cash balance June 1. S7382.-
48 which assures the council suf-
fcient funds to run the towns
business upon a cash basis.
The general fund total is given
as $38. 528.47, but it will be
noticed that S., 500 is included as
received from the Finance Com
mittee. AS this money was
borrowed from the bank, to get
the available revenues of the
town last year, this amount
must be deducted, also $164.68
interest paid, $3.13O.40 school
tax. and the collectors 3 per
cent commission 81, 491. IL, which
would leave $27,2S2.27 as the in
come of the town exclusive of
the receipts from the water and
light plant.
The statement of the special
fund shows the plant to have
earned last year $40, 10 less
$7B41.9 5 special tax and $500
borrowed from the general fund.
which leaves $11 .56S. "a. The ex-
penses were salaries $3546.47,
fuel $31O6. 81. electric supplies,
machinery, oil tanks and other
items $3152.5O, weekly labor &C.
count $1Oe5. 55, summing upS1O,-
892.89, which shows that the
water and light plant paid its own
expenses last year and earned
$675.35 for the tax payers.
It should be noticed to the
credit of the Council that they
gave $500 to the schools and
that they believe in good roads
as is shown by $6,294.O1 spent
for street work and bridges; and
it may be fully expected, iudg-
ing from their past good will to
the schools and from the excel
lent financial showing of the
statement, that next year the
school appropriation will be con-
siderably increased.
