St Paul, June 14.-The republican state convention, in session at Du- luth, after a stormy time nominated A. l.. Cole of Walker for governor There were seven candidates. Cole being considered the weakest candi- date.
 Jacob Jacobson. who went into the convention with 2s0 votes. gained on each ballot. After voting twice for their favorites the followers of the field candidates made a rush for the weaker man and he was nominated un the third ballot. receiving 55f votes. or ten more than enough to nominate. The nomination was not made unanimous.

CHICKEN DOCTOR WANTED|
Veterinary Surgeons Give But Little
 Attention to Fowl.

A man who takes quite an interest in fowls was about town to-day in-
 quiring where he could find some
 body who makes business of minis tering to the needs of sick poultry,
 but nobody could answer his query. He claims that he has rooster which is laid up with swollen chest and
 said he would be willing to pay
 handsomely for medicine that would give the bird relief. This is a mat ter that came up before and the only
 information 1t, brought out was that while they don't know as much about fowl as they do with reference to animals, the veterinary surgeons give diseases of fowl some attention, but they get so few calls of that char
 acter they don't regard 1t as a very |remunerative end of their practice. One of the veterinary surgeons told a reporter that the best thing a man could do who has big chicken yard
 is to be his own doctor and that all
 he has to do to fit himself for the
 business Is write to Secretary Wilson of the bureau of animal industry,
 Washington, D. C., and get such lit erature as they have on the subject and it will enable him to treat every case that comes up among his fowl
 with intelligence. He knew 1t would
 be forwarded on request, but he
 thought it might not be bad plan for anybody who would like to get one of those books to ask the Hon George L. Lilley to have it sent to him. It would save some trouble and insure prompt delivery. The book referred to gives recipes for all
 kinds of fowl ailments, and should
 be in every house, whether there Is a coop in the back yard or not.

BUSINESS WAS GOOD.
Imports and Exports Away Ahead of
 Previous Years.

Washington, June 14.-A bulletin issued by the department of com merce to-day says:
 The foreign commerce of the United States during the fiscal year which ends this month promises to exceed in both imports and exports that of any earlier year. The details of ten months of the years com merce have been announced through the bureau of statistics, and should May and June show as large month ly average the total imports will be 1.225,000,000, and the exports $1.- 7S6, 100000.
 In imports the increase occurs in all classes except foodstuffs, and in exports the increase occurs In every class, but especially in foodstuffs and manufactures. The decrease in the importation of articles of food occurs chiefly in sugar and coffee.
 Trade with the non-contiguous territories of the United States also show an increase in the grand total, but not in merchandise received from the sections thus designated. The ag- gregate of trade with the non-con- tiguous territories will probably also exceed that of any previous year.

REHEARSE YOUR PIECE
So You Gan Speak on the Water Ques-
 ton at Coming Meeting.

The hearing on the water question called for July 10 is important and it is none too soon for people who in tend to speak on the question to con- mence rehearsing their speeches now. One would say offhand that every body will make a demand for equal ity of rates to large and small con- sumers, but 1t is doubtful If that will be so, for notwithstanding all that has been said regarding the differ ence in the prices paid for the article many still take the pround that the big consumers should have 1t at re- duced rates. This water question is no ordinary subject and anybody who wants to speak upon it should exam inc every side of the subject before saying anything; if not it would be better for him to content himself by listening to what others may have to offer. It might be we'll to bear in mind that private corporation can charge as many different prices as it pleases for water, but 1t is differ ent with municipality where the plant belongs to the public. The con- stitution of the state guarantees equal rights to all and expressly for bids the granting of special priyi- leges to anybody. consequently the city cannot legally charge one man 30 cents for certain quantity of water and sell the same quantity to somebody else for 10 or 15 cents. Neither can it sell water at loss, for the charter provides that the price of water never shall be less than reasonable compensation for the use thereof. There Is a question, too, as to whether the city has a right to provide for more water than is necessary for domestic use and fire protection for the inhabitants of this town, but that is not so impor- tant as the price. If as when MT Wade was a commissioner of the depart ment of public works everybody pays the same price there will be no just ground for complaint, but while some are charged a great deal more than others the city will always be in hot water. Of course there is an argu- ment for staving off change in rates until the whole system is metered, but it is not very strong one and is used only by people who are making capital out of existing conditions.

THE TOOnER BILL SHOT
BE PASSED
SHOULD

Title to lands acquired from
the State on McEnery scrip and
confederate soldiers warrants
having been called in question
two bills have been introduced
in the General Assembly for the
purpose of determining the titles.
One of the bills is called the Ven
tress resolution and authorizes
the State to bring suit for re-
cOvery of the land; the other, the
ToOmer bill, gives the present
holders the right to be confirm
ed as applicants in the State
land Office for the lands covered
by patents issued for the
scrip and warrants. from the
date on which the patents were
issued and entities them to per-
feet and validate their titles with
in one year from date of pas
sage Of the act by paying in cost
to the State the price per acre at
which the lands could have been
legally bought on the dates the
patents were issued.
The Ventress resolution should
not be considered for a moment
by the Legislature as it would
not only work an incalculable
hardship, but it's passage would
be a downright injustice to
thousands of citizens.
The Toomer bill, on the con-
trary. treats the present holders
fairly and at the same time
gives the State all that rightfully
belongs to it, and it should be
passed.

A STATE BOARD OF EQUAL.
lZArlON.

It is practically certain that
the Legislature will give police
juries the right to review assess
ments. which undoubtedly
should be done as a matter of
protection to the people against
unjust assessments. But at the
same time it should be remem-
bered that giving police juries
such a right makes them su-
preme in assessment matters
and consequently each parish be-
comes a law unto itself as to val
uations within its borders, for
which reason it is most unwise
to intrust them with such
authority without some super
visory power ito rule them with
The Lafayette advertiser. [volume] (Vermilionville [i.e. Lafayette], La.) 1865-19??, 1906-06-20

reason" that injustice may not
be done.
The experience of the past
with each parish supervising it's
own assessments, has demon
strated the fact that uniformity
in methods of assessing is ali
airy nothing without habitation
or a name". Thirty-three per
cent of the lowest estimated cash
value in one parish, forty in
another, sixty in another, etc,
was the result, with the assessor
responsible only to the Governor
and, therefore, supposedly more
likely to do his duty which was
to assess at the actual cash Uulue.
With the power entirely in the
hands of an elective police jury,
which would not be human were
it not influenced more or less by
consideration of pleasing the
voters, the chance for a correc-
ton of the injustice of the past
whereby a citizen of one parish
has been made to pay for the
support of the State government
more, and in some cases double,
in proportion to what his neigh
Dor in the adjoining parish paid,
goes a %glimmering down the
vista of hings-that-cannot-be.
And. therefore, Gov. Blanch-
ard rightfully insists that a
State Board of Equalization
shall be created whose duty
shall be to see to it that the
States interests are taken care
of and at the same time that
justice be done between the
citizens of the various parishes
by exacting payment from each
in the same ratio proportionate
to his holdings. For unless as
SCISSORS and police juries are re-
SpOnSible to some central head it
is inevitable that inequalities
must continue. which makes it
imperative that a State Board of
Equalization be created at the
same time that police juries
are made boards of reviewers.

clans have pronounced danger

| congratulate DR.. Maxwell
that the professional politicians

to rest until they destroy him.
They will not destroy him;
they will destroy themselves.
The chiefoffense ofDr. Maxwell
in the mind of Bird is that he has
largely taken the New York
public school system out of poll
tics. and in his appointment Of
teachers has selected those of
marked mental worth instead of
those put forth by the henchmen
and ward bosses. DR.. Maxwell
has also raised the pay of his
teachers, an unfOrgivable thing
to Bird.
All of our wonderful progress
in pedagogy has come thru the
introduction Of the FrOebel
methods. The kindergarten
ideals do not neglect reading,
writing and arithmetic. but be-
yond these they work for beauty,
love, competence and truth.
Every kindergarten is a radiating
center. Every school that edu-
Gates the parents by sending
home with the children a desire
for beauty, system and order is
righteous and we'll. And this is
just what the methods of Dr..
Maxwell are doing in New York.
He is working to evolve strong,
earnest, competent, happy, self
reliant men and women.
The people who oppose DR.
Maxwell either do not cOmpre-
bend what he is doing, or they
are persons intent on place and
pelf.

NO SOFT SNAP.

The appropriation committee
of the General Assembly j. Law
ing the time of its life. NU3aiOne
has every State institution made
a demand for greatly increased
appropriations. Observation-Disclosures
lane University has made a very
pretty bow and asked for the
modest sum of Fifty Thousand
Dollars a year. No doubt the APP
preparations committee would
delightedly play Lady B%ountiful
and.give each what it wanted and,
following the time-honored New
Orleans custom, bestow also a
comfortable lagniappe: but, most
unfortunately there are a lot of
very inconsiderate taxpayers
who are crying aloud from the
hOusetOps for a reduction in tax
alton and the committee, there
fore. finds itself in the embarrass-
ing position of being importuned
to give far beyond that given last
year and at the same time strenu-
ously admonished that the tax
rate must be reduced.
But the committee has been
trying it's best to keep its balance
and is said to have used it's per-
suasive powers regardlessOf wear
and tear in an effort to convince
each principal, president and
chairman that his institution
could do nicely on, say, "steen"
hundred dollars. Meantime they
we're also engaged in a desperate
effort to compromise the case"
between the State University and
Tulane. and at one time thought
they had the trouble tied up in a
bunch and done for when they
gave Tulane Twenty-Five Thou

satisfied and the prospect of get
ting to bed early every night ap-
peared bright. But the whole
thing was off when Tulane found
a string tied to the twenty-five
Thousand and the trouble" is
again on deck, and the string to
that little sum has got to be cut,
otherwise it's going to cost just
double.
Saturday no doubt rejoicing
that every claimant upon the
States revenue had been reason
ably provided for, with a sigh of
relief the committee presented
the appropriation bill, hoping
possibly for a We'll done, thou
good and faithful servant"
but instead were metaphorically
jumped on with both feet for
their sins of omission and COM

Being upon the appropriation
committee is no soft snap when
there is a demand for two dol
lars with only one dollar available.
Wherefore and consequently and
as a matter Of fact, it behooves
the people to have more consider

other dollar.

Galveston, Tex. March %
Recent depredations by Negroes
aroused the white citizens of
Donley. Armstrong and Briscoe
cornties and warnings were is
sued for the blacks to leave this
section of the state. Some of
the leaders of the Negroeg re
fused to 80 until sixteen of them
were taken out and publicly
whipped. Others who appeared
to be taking their time We're
treated by whitecappers and
now the crusade against the
blacks is being prosecuted with
the determination of cleaning at
least these three counties of
Negroes.
Realizing that a hardship was
being worked on some of the
old Negroes, who owned their
own home, a plan was adopted
to yay them for their property.
A company of prosperous white
men was organized, with capital
enought to pay the Negroes for
their houses. The Negroes select
el the white appraisers and ac-
cepted their prices on the prop.
erty. The company will now
sublet these confiscated lands to
white tenants, and henceforth
Negroes must keep clear of these
three counties.
An otfort is to be made To in
troduce this scheme in other
sections of Texas. EN-.
