that any public official finds the
lures of chorus girls and slow
horses on the New Orleans
race track so attractive that he
must trench on the common
wealth's alimOny to crafty his
tastes.
It is also a sad condition that
the great State of Louisiana
must 90 into court to endeavor
to get back her moneys tilched
from her by trusted servants,
Both these facts are to be
deplored, and on them columns
of editorial could be written on a
high moral plane.
However, there are two practi-
cal questions involved that are
urgent.
First-Does the system Of
State auditing of public accounts
permit any tax collector to get
sec, 900 behind in his settlements
with the State without hint or
warning coming to the ears Of
the State Auditor or State Trea-
sured?
Seconds it within the
discretion of State officials, how
ever high in place Or power. to
settle without publicity" delay
ed payments from trustees of
the public funds, and to con
tinue in office" collectors whose
laches are clear signp0sts
toward future embezzlement and
disgrace?
The laws of the State or the
discretion of some public officers
needs mending.

MERITS SERIOUS CONSIDER
ALTON

According to a puDllSned
statement of President Edison OF
the Kansas City Southern, his
road will build from Leesville to
New Orleans when money gets
easy. The route selected IS by
way of Crowley and New Iberia:
passing through this parish near
or at Milton.
Should this road be built, and
it seems certain that it will,
be sooner or later, it will,
we believe, adversely affect Lafa-
yette by curtailing it's trade ter
ritory. The matter merits Sc
rious consideration and it should
be taken up and discussed by
the business men Of the town as
early as possible. If any move
is deemed necessary for the pro.
lection of the town, the move
should be made before the road
is built to get best results.

When kept at hand ready for instant
use. a cold may be checked at the out
set and cured in much less time than
after it has become settled in the
system. This remedy is also without
a peer for Group in children. and will
prevent the attack when given as soon
as the child becomes hoarse, or even
after the croupy cough appears, which
can only be done when the remedy Is
kept at hand. For sale by all druggists.

A Corrupt Practices Act.
New Orleans States.

The revelations that nave
grown out of the Hartman
Roosevelt controversy have done
more than anything else to con
vince the country of the neces-
sity of congress passing a cor
rupt practices act in addition to
a law prohibiting corporations
making contributions for po-
litical purposes. Such an act
should provide for the widest
publicity as to all contributions
made in Fedora elections.
President Roosevelt himself
has furnished evidence that
nearly all the large corporations
in the country contributed 30
the Republican campaign fund OF
1904, and all of them were grac-
iously accepted except few that
were rejected for reasons of pru'
dence. The main and most I'M
portant fact is, however, that all
the great trusts came forward
with with their money and
poured it without objection into
the Republican campaign chest.
Whether or not these trusts e.
ceived promises of immunity or
privilege it is quite certain that
the promise was made to throw
the veil of secrecy over their con-
tributions. and this promise was
kept until the lid was blown of
by the insurance scandals.
What the country needs and
will probably have in the course
of a few years is a corrupt
practices act modelled after that
which has been so effective in
putting an end to electoral cor
ruption in England. Such a law
will not only prohibit campaign
contributions by corporations
but will provide publicity of the
names of contributors and in adj
dition will limit the amount OF
| money that may be contributed
for election purposes in any one
voting district. In England the
campaign fund is limited to the
number of voters in a district,
and is not allowed to be more
than about IS cents per capita.
Political committees under the
English law are required to file
statements under oath showing
who contributed the campaign
fund and how the money was
spent.
It is very evident that such
law in this country would compe
the Republican party to retire
from the business of debauchinl
celebrates and buying presi
dental elections with campaign
funds amounting to six OF sever
, millions of dollars. The Englisl
law if applied in this countr.
: would result in a wonderful puri
: tication of our elections, becaus
under it's provisions it would b
impossible for the vote buyer an
the vote-seller to ply their trade
for the campaign funds of eac'
> political party would be limite'
. to the actual legitimate expense
and there would be no enOrmOu
!, surplus at the command of tn
party managers to be used i
doubtful States and districts TO

A Railroad to Eunice Needed.

A Railroad to Eunice Needed.
Eunice Gall.
The effort being made by New
Iberia, St. Martinville and other
towns to secure a competing
road, is another reminder to US
that if we want our town to keep
growing we must go and do
likewise" before we find our
selves with curtailed trade terri
tory. The tax exemption on
railroads will shortly expire and
the time to begin working for
another road is now.
In our opinion the proper move
for Lafayette is to build to Eunice
where connection will be made
with the Rock Island and Col
orado Southern, thus securing
an east and west line and also a
north and south line. The road
would be less than forty miles in
lenght and would add a valuable
trade territory to this city.
We would suggest that meet.
ing of the business men of the
town be called to discuss the
matter and take action. -Lafa.

It is said that the news that
the news that Tax Collector

brought no vestige of surprise
to those who had been familiar
with the young mans career
since the death of his father, the
late State Senator Dudenhefer,
of the Ninth Ward. 1t is furth-
er whispered that the young
man was slow in making a heavy
payment about a year ago, but
that the matter was settled

10 awake Jewish consciousness, we do
not need, in these United States, to have
held out to us hope of the re-estab-
lishment of a Jewish nation in Pales-
tine, in the dim, far-away future. Not
in distant lands, but here among us we
need centres from which to draw love
for and attachment to our religion, for
the inspiration it gives to make the Jew
a better man, a better citizen, wherever
his home may be. Even if the rigin in
a common ancestry fastens upon us a
responsibility which we willingly assume
it is Israel's faith, it is the feeling that
something of high value is in our COM
mon keeping, which creates our unity
and promotes, more than anything else,
the mutual attachment of the Jew for
the Jew, wherever his home may be, and
of whom he always speaks as his core
ligionist.
I can understand the causes which
have brought forth Zionism, and even
if not in sympathy with the movement,
1 have less sympathy with the attacks
made upon those, who from a belief that
it will bring about a quickening of jew
ish consciousness, have joined it's ranks
but, at best, in it's last analysis, Zionism
it must be conceded, even by it's honest
supporters, can only be an ideal Of much
uncertainty Of attainment in what is
claimed to be it's ultimate purpose. But
if we cannot consistently be Zionists, we
should the more recognize and live up
to the duty that we do all in our power
to promote the maintenance of our faith
through active propaganda, never for
getting what our fathers and forefathers
suffered to assure the transmission Of
their, of our religion to coming genera
tions, in all it's worth and purity.
Not Zionism. movement impractic-
able of realization, should be needed to
arouse our conscience as Jews better
that we recognize our duty to the Jew
ish educational institutions, Of which, I
aver. the Jewish Chautauqua can and
should be made one Of the most efficient
agencies.
Rapidly the Jewish population of this
country is increasing. For the present,
massed in the seaport towns Of the At
lantic Coast, before long the newcomers
are certain to seek better homes and
wider quarters in the great and attrac
tive territory which stretches from the
Gulf to our northern boundary, from the
Mississippi to the Pacific. Today not
