Governor Blanchard is credited
with having announced that he
will be content with the raise OF
$105, 900, 900 in the assessment in the
first two years of his administra-
ton, and will let the assessments in
the future take their natural
course. He has evidently found
out that the contract to remodel
a fiscal system that has been tin
kered into confusion worse con-
founded is not what it was crack
ed up to be. People who know
when they have enough of a good
thing are rare, and this is symp-
tom of his recovery from too much
Republication. 1.-The People.

The railroad rate bill a few da,

The railroad rate bill few days
lego was passed by the lower
puse of Congress and it will now
Dc referred to the Senate for con-
1currence. So far President Roose-
welt has accomplished victory.
But the history of all such lepis-
lation proves that favorable vote
in the House of Representatives is
almost invariably followed by a
death blow in the higher branch
known as the Senate-that court
of last resort in the law-making
halls of the nation. The fight to
get the measure through the SEN
ate, which is composed largely of
men not in sympathy with the
measure, promises to wax warm
and furious and the President will
be able to show what he can do in
the way of forcing Senators to his
bidding. The people will be able
on the occasion of this fight, to |
see plainly who their friends and
defenders are going to be.

Des Moines, Iowa, boasts of a
baby that changes color three times
a day. 1t is a child of Hindoo
parentage, said to be the first one
to make that claim ever born in
America. When the little fellow
awakens at sunrise he is pretty
pink, fair complecioned boy.
At noon he changes color and
within an hour is of the dark
ginger color of his princely an
cestors. At night he becomes an
alabaster white. The mixture of
Hoods is said to be accountable
for the strange phenomenon.

AS a result of the obstructive
tactics of the Democrats of the
House, the Republicans have been
forced to an agreement to admit
Oklahoma and Indian Territory
into the Union as one State at the
present session of Congress, and
to accept the proposition to admit
Arizona and New Mexico as one
State, only ON condition that a
majority of the voters of each of
these Territories so elect, by vote
to be cast at regular Territorial
election, when officers of the
Territories are voted for.

Under a law of Minnesota. a
State medical board is constituted
with directors to procure samples
of all patent medicines sold in
that State and subject them to
careful analysis. The contents of
each medicine will be published
in weekly bulletin to be issued
by the department, which will be
given wide circulation. If the
contains opiates, alco-
hol or other deleterious substances
the fact will be published together
with the quantity.

The conflagration which de-
stroyed the better part of the
Senate house last Friday morning,
greatly Inconvenience the work
Of the Senate. but thanks to the
intelligent and prompt action of
Lieutenant Governor Sanders
suitable quarters were promptly
secured in the Federal building at
the Capital, and legislation has
gone on seemingly as though no
interruption had occurred. The
repairs now needed to the Capital
building, on account of this UNI
toward occurrence, will cost the
State something like $4,000, and
this emergency we have no doubt
will be promptly provided for.
The prompt and efficient manner
in which Governor Sanders over
came this obstacle reflects great
credit on his wisdom and superior
qualifications as leader.

The BANNER don't believe in

SENATOR FOSTER AND THE
LEVEES.
United States Senator Murphy

| United States Senator Murphy
!! Foster, fresh from his duties a,
| ne nati NAL capitol, where he was
| AREA. found it opportune to
| ISL, this hi home town and his
| nifty some. ter, days. and on last
| Wednesday morning returned to
! Washington to resume his labors
in behalf Of the people on the all
important railroad rate reduction
bill now before the Senate. Sen
| ator Foster visited friends in New
Orleans and called to pay his re-
spects to the General Assembly
now in session at Baton Rouge.
The visit Of Senator Foster was
entirely devoid of political signifi-
canoe. Nevertheless he was in
terviewed on some of the most
momentous questions now before
our State lawmakers and said
some things which ought to and
will no doubt be hearkened to.
He was mainly pronounced
against any reduction in the ten
mill levee tax, as the State legis-
lature is now endeavoring to do
at the instigation of Governor
Blanchard. Senator Foster in sup
port Of his position, makes two
very strong points, viz: That
only S17.000,OOO are now needed to
complete the best levee system in
the world, and this can be readily
obtained from the general govern
ment if the people of the State
continues to show a willingness
to help themselves. A reduction
of levee taxation would greatly
interfere with the efforts of our
representatives in Congress to Sc
cure this appropriation. The next
point is that one crevasse would
do more to depreciate the value of
alluvial lands and ruin more
homes than the aggregate of this
tax would amount to in a very
long time. The Senator does not
deny that, in view of the great |
prosperity of the State, the rate of
State taxation can be reduced |
with safety at this time, but he
thinks land wisely in our opinion)
that the levees are the things upon
which to make the retrenchment.

THE TRUTH ABOUT THE TRUTH"

The Democrat last night in apolo2etic at
tempted explain tbe public the manner in which it
attempted force the entire public printing nto its hand,
at pre- arranged exhorbitant prices The reform
p paper fails stand by its Oft repeated principles Of
economy when it Is to be considered but proclams that
10 the yctors belong the spoils.
The Democrat had expected To get the city printing
at its rates, but the Republican conncimen and
Councilman Hatch forced the Democrat leave off any
graft The Democrat maintains would charge the city
but twelve and one-half cents per legal square. There
other sealed bids lower than that figure awaiting
the action Of the council. but extravaganza was the rule
not economy. The World stands ready to save the city
money but the economy administration will but squan-
der the money in the Golfers long as fayorites are
played
The Democrat maintains that it will receive the beg
carly Of 800 when the bills allowed last month
amounted to 300. and the month preceding that
similar amount But the Democrat fails to discriminate
between extavagent" administration and an 'econ-
omical" The Democrat howled long and loud over
alleged extrayageuce" Of the Republican administration
yet nconsstenty defends itself acting along the same
lines. The people not stone blind Economy must be
shown.
