THE sIxrIErH CONGRESS.

For IFS years the Congress Of these

of import while now its possessions
make a ponderous volume ana are
sweeping in their scope. or course

probation IN OUR CITIES

1t is quite reflection upon the citi-
zens Of our cities that the editors OF
their papers should unite i'm declaring
that while prohibition can be made to
prohibit in the country places and
smaller towns it is idle to undertake
to enforce II i'm the cities. What sad
commentary this upon the spirit Of
lawlessness pervading our cities. The
country people with no policeman to
watch them and with power TO arrest
without a warrant, quietly submit to
the requirements Of the law while the
city brother, with guardians Of the
law on well nigh every corner reck-
lessly and openly defes them. What's
wrong with the city? The ID. Dis all
flock there, the Y. NJ. G.. A. is actively
at work, the Salvation Army pro
claims the gospel on the streets, mis-
sion bands contribute full share TO the
cause Of righteousness and yet those
who know best tell as that the cityis
hopelessly bad and incorrigibly law
less.
This being so we can not understand
why our young men who are training
for the ministry should be taught
there, why any Of our colleges should
be located there, why we can trust our
young men there 10 be prepared for
business life and why all anxious city
parents don't send their sons 10 coun-
try schools where they may learn not
Ouly from the educators but also from
their every environment to fear God
and keep his commandments

ABUSE OF THE PAR
DOMINO POWER.
Abbeville Meridional.

When the Board of Pardons was
created, we do not believe the law
makers had the most remote inten-
ton of erecting an upper annex to
the Supreme Court-a sort of su-
perior criminal tribunal vested
with all sorts of limitless preroga-
tives. To try cases over again,
hear ex parte evidence, indulge all
kind of wierd and lurid metaphy-
steal speculations, give full rein
to the insidious influence known
aud designated in the popular yer.
nacular as political pull"
We hold that all this is fla.
grant perversion of the purposes
for which the Board of Pardons
was designed. The most recent
attempt of the Board, or rather of
Lieut.. Gov. Sanders and Attorney
General Guion, to cheat the gal
lows of almost deserving victim,
James Ray Hogan, a worthless
drunkard and loafer, who foully
murdered and robbed a hard work
ing man, has finally aroused the
public and the New Orleans Pr
cayune to the enormity which this
pardon abuse has assumed.
But this is not sufficient. The
voice of protest must be long and
loud enough to prevent a repeti-
ton of these outrages perpetrated
by men who are supposed to be
the protectors-not the enemies of
society. They are not given the
keys Of the Peuitentiary to turn at
large all men therein who can
muster pull. Both OF these gen.
tlemen are office holders and office
seekers. On the hastings they
are mighty champions of the law
and order. As members of the
Board of Pardons they are the safe
refuge of the convicted criminal.
1t is high tine that the people
of the State who desire an orderly
state of society and the impartial
enforcement of the laws, obtain
the ears of Messrs Sanders and
Guion which it is painfully evil
dent have too long been monopo-
LIED by thugs, mnrtlerers and
thieves with n little political pull.
1t is time to put on the brakes.

SATURDAY, MARCH I6, 1907.
The Projected Branch.

The Leader-Enterprise of New
Iberia is agitating the building
of a branch railroad of about thir-
ty five miles, to run from New
Iberia to Port Barre and from the
last named place to some point to
connect with the Texas Pacific for
a direct short line to st. Louis.
This project would look possible
il that branch was to be built by
the Texas and Pacific Railroad and
be a part of that system, but built
independently, in our opinion
would not offer the people of this
section much more advantage than
they have at present by reaching
st. Louis by the Southern Pacific
via Cheheyville.
We doubt very much that the
people of st. Martinville would
tax themselves $4,000 to build a
branch road; the experience aud
the delays we have with the pre-
sent branch, will not be an induce
ment for them to favor anything
but a main line if they have to
pay for it.
We believe the people of St.
MartiuviIle, Breaux Bridge and
the parish would vote a reasonable
tax to encourage any railroad pass
ing in this section, provided such
projected road would be backed
by some responsible corporation.
The plan submitted by the En-
terprise-Leader for the towns and
parishes to build the road with
the prospect of selling to the Tex
as Pacific after it is built looks to
us as impracticable.
Induce the Texas-Pacific people
to come over here, look at the
country and its possibilities and
try to convince them that this
branch would be paying invest
ment, and we believe that they will
build this branch if we could i'm
press them with the idea that the
product of the country would JUS
tify the expenditure, and We are
satisfied that the people along the
route would be willing to help the
building of the road by voting a
reasonable tax.
The building of the road as pro-
posed by our New Iberia friends
looks to US like an impossibility.

EFFECTS BIG SAVING.
Result of the Installation of New
Power Plant.

Most satisfactory results are reported
by Capt j. II. Poole. the engineer officer
in charge of the State, War and Navy
departments building. from the new power
and heating machinery and apparatus, the
installation of which was completed in
September last. He says the new boilers,
elevator pump and electric generating ma
chinery have proved much more efficient
than the old machinery. During the three
months of July, August and September
go tons of coal at 1891 per ton were
used; during the same period of last year.
when less work was being done, the coal
consumption was $40 tons, at $3.50
per ton. This shows a saving of 2.463. or
about $4,000 per annum. The pay roll.
he says, is $4,000 less this year than last,
so that the total saving on coal and sal
aries alone during the three months was
at the rate of SIS 900 a year.
From present indications. Capt. Poole
says, the new order of things will realize
Saving of about S3o,0OO year over the
old system, besides giving much more
satisfactory and rela BILE service. The new

PASTOR AT LANGDoN.
Rev. A. M. Mark Given That Posi-
ton by the Cardinal.

Rev. A. NJ. Mark, assistant pastor of
st. Anthony's Church, Brookland, has
been appointed by Cardinal Gibbons to
the pastorate Of the new Catholic Church
at Langdon, known as the Church of st.
Francis de Sales. Father Mark completed
his theological studies at st. Mary's Semi
nary, Baltimore. and was ordained to the
priesthood from that institution in 1888.
After a postgraduate course at the Cath
Ollie University. in this city he was ap-
pointed assistant at St. Anthony's and
also chaplain of st. Vincent's Orphan Asy-
lum. During his stay at St. Anthony's,
now more than six years, Father Mark
has won the respect and love of the peo-
Pile of Brookland by his energetic and
Jealous work and has done mucn toward
the material and spiritual upbuilding OF
the parish. The people of st. Anthony $
will greatly regret his departure: St
Francis Church is situated on the historic
site of the old Queen Chapel. which was
attended for many years during the latter
part of the eighteenth century by the
ancestors of many families now promi-
nent in Washington. The tract surround
ing the church was decided by Richard
Queen. to Archbishop Carroll in 1872 and
is one of the landmarks of local Catholic
Church history.
