Police Jury Reduces Tax Rate For l 1905

Just before the Police Jury ad-
journed Tuesday noon, the question
of levying the tax of the parish for
1905 came up for discussion. A mo-
ton was made to reduce the rate from
10 mills to 8 mills. This motion pro-
voked quite heated discussion. sey
eral of the members standing out
for the old rate. When the vote was
finally taken the eight mill tax carried
by vote of to 4, the vote being as
follows: For observation-disclosures.
Moss, Geary, Silcott, Hanchy and
Hathaway; Against Messrs Chau-
mount, Fontenot, Eaves and Miller.
We believe that the people of the
parish will heartily applaud this &C.
ton of the Police Jury.

The Special Grand Jury which has
been in session for sevesal weeks at
Springfield Missouri investigating the
the lynching of three negroes April IA
has submitted its report. This jury
indicted twenty one men, and denounces
the lynching as a horrible crime. We
believe that the good citizens, not only
of Missouri but throughout this whole
country will applaud the work of this
Special Jury. Lynching has become
entirely too enormous practice, and
especially in our own fair state where
within the last few months there has
been a half dozen Or more lyIfchingS,
some for as trivial cause as the steal
inc of calf, add others where it would
seem the officers of the law cOnnived
with the mob in its heinous work.
Public sentiment has for many years
palliated lynchiEg for a certain speci.
fic crime, and it is doubtful if Thu
feeling will ever change. But human
life has "-become entirely too cheap
when it is permitted to be taken for the
various and trivial offences which
have been the excuse for crimes of this
sort within the past few months. Ii
our judiciary is unable to meet out
Justice let the laws relating to it be
revised and if the executive arm of our
government is unable to protect the
least of our citizens against mob
violence it should be strengthened, or
we should cease to call our government
" A government for the people" We
may preach prosperity, "boundless
resources" or anything else, but in
vain unless we place the value of hu.
man life so high that it will not be
sacrificed on the alter of passion
rather than that of justice.

HOW SOCIETY IS IMPROVING.

There is one strong opinion in Eng land in favor of the continuing i'm provement in British society. That is the opinion of the London Spectator. which says that nobody who is compe- tent to judge can justly accuse society of deterioration.
 Granted that many women lose 2 great deal of money at bridge and get into trouble through gambling. yet for some fashionable lady who lives for pleasure there are twenty who spend much of their time in serious and in- telligent work. And then compare the smart" woman of today with her sis ter In the times of Alexander Pope and Horace Walpole, and one will find that the life of the contemporary woman of society is not only more innocent, but infinitely more useful than that of the fashionable lady of the eighteenth cen tury.
 As for the young men who are born into swelldom, it is said that where one remains at home today to go to the devil. there aIe a dozen perform ing the task of the state under difficult conditions in far off countries.
 This disclosure by the Spectator sug- gests the observation that in our own country the extravaganza and vuIgari- ties of so-called American society are continde to a number of individuals which. in comparison with the great mass of the orderly. self respecting and well bred rich, sinks into utter insig- niticance.-Boston Globe

THE HoNDo PROJECT.


 Mr. B. H. Hall of the reclamation service, and supervising engineer for New Mexico, Texas and Oklahoma re ports most promising state of affairs on the Hondo. irrigation project m southeastern New Mexico.
 All contracts are completed. earth- work on the laterals is finished, and nothing now remains undone except some of the small structures Tn the distributing system, some pudding m the reservoir, etc. This work R pelIls carried on by force account under the supervision of the engineers. The set tiers have been receiving the usual low water supply throughout the season, but next spring they will enter into their proper heritage the reservoir be- ing completed and an ample supply for all needs assured
 Although the land under this project is all in private ownership, MT. Hall reports that most of the farmers are cutting their farms down to 40 acres. This action will insure a dense popu- lation. more intensive cultivation. and a consequent increase in the value of the land. The marvellous results of ir- rigation in this section when sufficient water is applied has been demonstrated in the Roswell district lying just to the east of the Hondo project Four crops of alfalfa are harvested. while corn, garden truck, cantaloupes, grapes, ap- pies and other fruits produce abund- antly The delicious flavor of irri- gated fruits is becoming well known, and the apples which are shipped to Chicago and other eastern ma rkets command a high price.
 Next year one-tenth of the cost of construction of this project, or $3S.000, will be returned to the reclamation fund to be used again in the cOnstruc- tion of other projects.

About Rheumatism

There are few diseases that intlict more torture than rheumatism and there is probably no disease for which such varied and useless lot of remedies have been suggested. To say that it can be cured is, therefore, bold state ment to make, but Chamberlain's Pain Balm, which enIoys an extensive sale, has met with great success in the treat ment of this disease. One application of Pain Balm will relieve the pam, and hundreds of sufferers have testified to permanent cures by it's use. Why suffer when Pain Balm affords such quick re- lief and costs but trifle?

Into over thousand farms. The top ographle branch of the Geological Sur vey. of which the Reclamation Service Is also a branch, has already run Its lines over many of the great swamp areas of the eastern states and as soon as the Steenerson bill becomes law the Geological Survey engineers will be ready to launch out into immediate activity in drainage projects.
 WOULD START WITH A MILLION DOLLARS
 The fund provided by the bill would be small as compared with the irrIga- ton of fund; 1t would approximate half a million dollars year and would start off with about $l 900 900, the receipts from the sales for the flsce year 1905 being included. but on the other hand the cost of drainage would not be so great as that of irrigation.
 The importance of this work of wholesale drainage. in order to provide homes for increased population, Is scarcely second In importance to the irrigation work. ,..t means that tens of milliont of acres of the most fertile land imaginable. which has lain idle for ages, may be converted from dis nal and pestllentlal swampS and use less bogs Into highly prosperous homes, to become the garden spots of the na ton.
 The Dutch have reclaimed vast areas in Holland from the encroach- ments of the ocean. Thousands of families live and farm below sea level gaining their security by magnificent feats of engineering and persistence. They now contemplate the drainage of the Zuyder Zee, retaining some ,35O,ooo additional acres of meadow land. American drainage in most cases would be far more simple and less expensive; it is simply a question as to whether the nation will see the wisdom of setting Its hand to this work,
 ANOTHER INLAND EMPIRE
 In Florida the everglades alone, al- most solid muck beds. would afford an empire of some 100000 acres; in New Jersey and Virginia are vast swamps. among them the famous Dis nal Swamp. In Illinois. which is gen erally regarded as well-ssttled agrl cultural state, there are 100000 acres of swamp land; In Michigan there are nearly 6.ooo.ooo acres. Fertile iowa has about 2,OoO 900 acres of swamp land, In Minnesota there are almost 5,ooO,Ooo acres of rich survey ed swamp lands and huge swamp areas not yet surveyed Arkansas has tre- mendous swamp areas which could be drained and made habitable, and in all there is a swamp area in the eastern half of the United States which Is equal in extent to the great agricutur- al state of Indiana, Illinois, and Iowa. with three or four smaller eastern states thrown ln
 If the Steenerson bill demonstrates that the government can transform swamps into fertile farm land and that the settler or owner will pay back to the government the relatively small cost of the improvement, there seems to be no reason why this work of crea- ton of value out of worthless waste should not go on indefinitely and pro vide homes for millions more of rural population.
