OUR POST OFFICE.

When Inspector Charles F. Trotter, of the
when our Office was listed as second-class, he
expressed surprise, while complimenting Post
master Theriot upon the condition of the Office,
at the magnitude Of the incoming mail, stating
that it was greater than in some first-class Of
fees. Sometimes as much as from twelve to
fifteen pouches arrive on single train. So
it will be seen that while we are only second
class Office, we are part of the time doing the
business Of first-class office. Of course the
office does not handle as much outgoing mail
matter but the business is rapidly increasing,
and we should be entitled to government
building with suitable conveniences for the
transaction of its business and for the accom-
mediation of the public.
Franklin got an appropriation of $4,000
for building without being able to make any
better showing than Covington and there is
every reason to believe that if proper influence
was brought to bear we could also get an ap-
preparation.
We now have our houses numbered and in
due time will have sidewalks and street cross
ings in proper order to entitle us to free mail
delivery service, and some attempt should and
shall be made to secure government postoffice
building. A new census would probably show
a large increase in population, and with our
rapidly increasing postal business there is no
reason why we should not get what we are en-
titled to.

THE sHATTUcK-GRAY LIQUOR BILL

1he Shattuck-Gray liquor bill passed the House
last Monday by vote of 80 to g. while the
Doussan prohibition measure was indefinitely
postponed by a vote of So to AZ.
1t IS evident the sentiment of the House is
strongly against State prohibition, and the
weight of evidence is indicative that the popular
vote OF the State would be against it. Louisiana
Goes not want statutory prohibition, but it does
want proper regulation of the liquor traffic
While it is not claimed for the Shattuck bill that
1t IS perfect measure it offers opportunity for
better control of the liquor business and should
nave tendency to weaken the opposition of
prohlbltlonists. If, however, it is shown if the
bill finally passes the Senate, that it does not
give the general relief that is demanded, we
may expect that the battle will be fought over
again with renewed strength.
While local option seems the most equitable
method Of dealing with prohibition it is only eff
fectlve in districts where large majority desire
it. A town might be forced dry by the strength
OF outside votes in the parish, while the town
Itself favors the license and sale of liquor. In
such cases blind tigers are always plentiful and
the enforcement of the law impossible. The
problem is very difficult of solution, but it ap-
pears to us the only practical way is to license
its sale, enfore the law and secure the benefit
OF the revenue, when it becomes choice be-
tween doing this or having the evil effects with
out any benefits whatever.
St. Tammany farmer., 1908-06-20
DOES THE ORDINANCE FILL THE BILL !

The people of Covington are very easy-going
and accommodating and in order not to incon-
venience others or to saddle upon them an ex-
4pense that would work any hardship, some
ordinances that should have been passed have
been neglected. But after the sad experience OF
several destructive fires, it was conceded to be
absolutely essential to the safety of the town
that district be set apart in the principal por-
ton of the town, within which limits it should
be unlawful to erect any wooden building or
firetrap that would be menace and danger
in case Of fire. Also an ordinance was passed
making it unlawful to make repair, etc., as fol-
lows:
Section l. Be it ordained by the town of Cow
ington, La, That no building shall be erected
or it's erection commenced, or any alteration
made in any building already erected or hereat-
ter to be erected, when said building or repairs
shall cost more than fifty dollars, unless the
plans and specifications, or copy thereon,
with the contract cost of such building or alter
alton shall have first been submitted to the
Improvement Committee and a certificate OF
approval and permit granted by them therefor
All recognized the wisdom Of this provision,
or rather the necessity of a law of this nature;
for we fear the above law, in order to be etfec-
tive, should have provided that ALL improve
ments, whether costing more or less, should frst
receive the sanction Of the Improvement Com
mittee, when made within the restricted dis
trict.
And Section 8 of the limited district ordinance
provides as follows:
coc+;on Re IT further ordained, etc., That
4 sbaiI not he lawful to repair the roof of any
huiidinq. Or cause. the same to be done. within
tha limits described in Section 1 of this ordl-
nance. G except by using in said repairs noncom-
bustible material
St. Tammany farmer., 1908-06-20

The changes that have taken place in the per-
sonnel of the Council by reason of the recent
election temporarily suspended the agitation of
the stock law question, but there is no reason to
suppose the adoption of such law will be made
any more difficult by reason of this change. The
will of the people will undoubtedly receive rec
ognition if properly expressed; and as the law
is entitled to a place in the reform movement
we believe no obstacles will be placed in the
way especially as it requires no expenditure.
We expect all the friends of the stock law to get
in line and we are confident the new Council
will give us relief.

The Marston antifutures bill has been reported
to the Senate by a-vote Of to 8,
and one of these minority votes will be against
the bill in the Senate. There seems to be little
chance for the bill to become law. All practi-

simply kill all home influence in the cotton mar

tions of the musical progam.
Mr.. Burt w. Henry, of New Orleans, who de-
livered the commencement address, impressed
the students by his earnestness He appealed to
them to make their lives a reflection of the
training Of the school, that it might point to
them with pride in exemplification OF its useful
ness, it's training and it's influence in the develop
ment of strong citizenship. And he especially
urged that the ties of college fellowship be ex-
tended to outside association, and a helping
hand ever be ready to assist the less fortunate
in climbing the ladder of success.
The presentation Of diplomas by Prof. W: A.
Dixon was made an especially happy incident
by the appropriateness of his remarks and the
evident pleasure he experienced in the gratlfl-
cation Of the recipients.
The exercises were closed with a fervent
