st. Martin Parish is one of the
few parishes in which the assess
ment was slightly lower than last
year. Some of the parishes are
increasing their assessment to an
extent that will prevent the peo-
pie from levying special taxes for
local improvements. The State
is getting to much revenue and
paying its officials salaries in some
instances that are fancy, in order
to get rid of the surplus taxes ex-
torted from the people by higher
assessment. The assessment can
be equalized. but it should be
lowered instead of increased, and
the voters should begin to impress
their candidates for the legisla-
ture with this fact. They should
demand the lowering of assess
ment, and a general decrease in
the salaries of many state and pa
rish officials. Tas people who are
putting up the cash have a right
and it is their duty to demand
these reforms.

Baby On The Farm.
The American Farmer.


If there are no babies there will
be no boys and girls. If no boys

impossible. Though other things
are raised on the farm, the real
things for which they are intended
is rearing children. These are the
most valuable crops. 1t is be-
cause of them and not indepen-

crops are produced. The most i'm.
portant thing on any farm is that
chubby little mass of humanity in
the house trying to eat the pat
tern in the carpet or get his big
toe in his mouth. Though the
mere embryo of a man. an Incl.
pient savage, it's correct rearing.
its gradual unfolding, its slow de-
velopment through various mental
and physical stages constitute the
most vital problem of civilization.
If you arc 80 unfortunate as to have
no baby in the house, obtain one
as soon as possible from some Or
phan asylum or charity mission.
Many good married couples. ex-
cellent men and women, have not
been blessed with children of their
own. When wise, as they usually
are, they never fail to adopt one
or more boys and girls whom they
rear as members of the family.
Many of the most lasting friend
ships. most loving and lifelong
devotions have sprung from such
adoptions. The childless couple
was made happy in a thousand
ways, the intolerable loneliness
was driven off by childish laugh.

THE PETTIBONE TRIAL.
Chief Counsel 'Hawiey for the State
Outlines the Case.

BOISE. Idaho, December Thames H
Hawley, chief counsel for the state in the
case of George A. Pettibone,. outlined the
case for the prosecution yesterday. Sem
ator Borah occupied a seat at the table
of the state. Mr.. Hawley first recited the
facts concerning the killing of former
Gov. Steunenberg as the result of the
explosion of a dynamite bomb on the
night of December 80. 1905 at the gate
of Steunenberg's home, at Caldwell,
Idaho.
A brief history of the Western Fedora
ton of Miners was given by Mr.. Haw-
ley.
I'VE expect to show you,' he said,
that about eight years ago a conspiracy
was formed by what is known as the
inner circle, the purpose of which was
the murder of those who in public life
refused to obey the dictates of the in
ner circle.
The connection of the defendant with
the conspiracy, as alleged by the state,
was explained George Pettibone, said
Hawley, was the paymaster into whose
hands was passed the money given to
the actual murderers by officers of the
Western eueration. Hawley charged that
Pettibone was an actual participant in
some of the crimes and was the con-
slant counselor of others engaged in the
conspiracy.

SMALLPOX in BROOKLYN.

NEW YORK. December 11.-Resdents
of the fashion; .e st. Marks district of
Brooklyn were made somewhat uneasy
yesterday by the news that three mem
bers of the family of Edward S. Brewer
of s65 Park place had been taken to tie
kingston Avenue Hospital suffering from
what appeared to be smallpox. lie
Brewers are well known in social circles
in the district. The three young children
o. the family are the sufferers, but their
devoted mother has elected to go to the
hospital with them. that she may be near.
About four weeks ago%the Brewer chill
dren-Edward S., jr, five years old; Mar
jorie, three years old. and Ruth, seven
months old-became i'll with what was at
first believed to be chickenpox. They
were treated for this disease until a few
days ago, when a change in the app ear
ance of the rash was noticed. A dag
nostician from the health department Wis
ited the house. After examining the Chill
dren he gave it as his opinion that they
were really suffering from smallpox and
ordered their removal to the hospital.

Freshies Must Stand Up.

ITHACA, December 1.-THE general
committee, composed of leaders of tho
senior and junior class at Cornell voted
yesterday to exclude all freshmen from
the sophomore cotillon and Junior prom
enade, owing to overcrowding.
Freshmen are also barred from sitting
in the lower floor and first balcony at
the performances of the Masque and
Glee Club during the junior week. A
sensation was created by a rule which
provided that no freshman should remain
seated in a trolley car when by doing so
an upper class man would be oblig ed Ito
stand. Other regulations strengthen
rules already in force in regard to limita-
tons on drinking and smoking and loung-
ing places.

mote loading and unloading in the interest
of the shipper and give the railway COM
panies the best use of their rolling stock.
There has been a great deal of complaint
here, as elsewhere, on this subject, and
shippers were requested to collect and
submit facts to show the nature and ex-
tent of their grievances. This conference
has already resulted in a great deal of
good.
I'VE have had continuous complaints of
late trains: that the railway companies
do not keep up their schedule time. and
we submitted them to the officials in au-
thority for explanation. There has been
a gratifying absence of any tendency on
the part of the railway officials to evade
or take refuge behind technicalities in
their replies. They have been perfectly
frank with U.s. They have submitted the
facts and given the reasons why their
schedules have not been maintained and
have conferred with us as to the best
methods of satisfying the public. In no
case has there been any attempt to
deny the authority of the commission or
to take advantage of legal quibbles.
