WITHOUT SUPPORT
STOCKS BREAK: |:
Promised Favorable Business Re-
ports Fail to Ma
terializc.

NEW YORK. May 23.--Prlces OF
stocks collapsed with great violence
during the days short session OF the
market. The ontpouring Of stocks
was heavy in some quarters but the
striking feature OF the proceedings
was the disappearance OF all trace OF
the fostering measures OF support
which have been present through all
stages OF the preceding advance In
prices and through the period OF d.
gestion of profts which has been going
on this week. There were mixed opin-
ions in Wall Street as to the motives
for this sudden change OF policy IN
the conduct of market operations.
News of conditions to-day was more
. strikingly corroboratiye OF the claims
of general Improvement on which the
rise in prices was professedly based
than at any time since 1t was UNDER
taken. In spite OF assertions recently
of the continued shrinkage OF railroad
traffic, decrease in car surplus was
reported by the American Railway As
socia ton in their statement published
to-day, as OF May 18th, the reduction
in tho number OF idle cars In two
weeks reaching 1883 cars. Apparently
xhese favorable Developments have not
attracted as much attention and de-
1nand for stocks as hoped Tor, and was
relied upon to digest the profts OF
spectators. who had bought In antici-
patton. A flood of stocks came from
three sources to-day. and caused the
break In the market. extending all the
way to six points in Union Pacific and
st. Paul.

Legislature at Work.

The Legislature organized on last
Monday 10y electing Senator T. C..
Barrett, Of Caddo, ms President of
the Senate, and Representative Hen
nv G. Dupree, of Orleans, rs Speaker
of the House.
On Tuesday the last message of
Gov. Blanchard was sent in to the
Legislature. Its said to be the long
est message ever sent in by any of
our governors, but withal list strong
document. and will be of great help
to the members in the exercise of their
duties.
Since sending his first message Gov.
Blanchard has sent in to the legisla-
ture seven special messages, rela ting
to the oyster fishery dispute with
Mississippi, delayed pay due Louisi-
ana volunteers by the U. s. in the
Spanish war, work of the tax com
mission, refnrnishing Senate char ber
since the fire in the State capitol. rent
due on building in which Statelibrary
is housed, counseling compromise
made by the government in regard
to public lands, and lnstly in relation
to paintings damaged by the fire in
the State House. These messages
plnce Gov. Blanchard in close emula-
ton with the President for volumi-
nousness. All are. however, sensible
and. strong in their various recon-
mendations.
The usual plethora of bills ready
for presentation is reported, and
there seems to be no need to fear
that our Solons will not be given full
opportunity to put themselves on
record on almost all questions now
before the people. As the work of
the session progresses we shall en-
deavor to keep our readers posted rs
tn the varions laws proposed that
We regard of interest.

State Prisoners Self-SuppOrting.
That the present system of hand
ling State prisoners in Louisiana has
many advantages over the old one of
letting them out on contracts, il ut
tested by statement given out by
Col. G. Harrison Parker. president of
the State Board of Control, which
shows that during 1907, without the
aid Of Legislative appropriation, the
board has paid $4O9,O75 for new
farm properties, and received 10 cash
during the year $377, 950.38. The
total number of prisoners in custody
Jan. 1, 1908, was 1,St4. of which
sixty were women. The death rate
has decreased to, IA per 1000, an
against 90 per 1000 under the old
system.-IberviIle Sentinel.

The Old and the New.

Advices from Baton Rouge are to
the effect that Monday, May 18th, is
to be made a great day 10 that city,
aBent the Inauguration of Gov. Jared
Y. Sanders, who is to be sworn in on
that day amid scenes of poInp and
parade. The program for the day,
which is published in another column
of this issue of the Chronicle, shows
that every circumstance of show and
parade is to he brought into requisi-
ton. In it all is found the intima-
tion that n paragon of ability and
accomplishment is to he put in charge
of State affairs on that day.
1t il well for him that pntteth on
the buckler to give heed somewhat
to the achievements of those who
have worn it before him. There is
always room for Improvement, but
we think Gov. Sanders il going to
find it pretty hard to exceed the
achievements Of Nichols, Foster,
Blanchard and Others who have here
tofore occupied the governors chair.
These men have all lefta goodly heri-
tage that any one may well covet,
and, if their accomplishments for
public good are surpassed, then, in
deed, may Gov. Sanders boast with
grace MS he lays his armor down at
the end OF his inning.
In his campaign for the governor
ship MIR. Sanders has promised much,
and it oil remains to he fulfilled.
Virile and vigorous in his methods,
with Legislature in full sympathy
with him hec can institute many meas
ures of reform aud benefit to the
State, but he must have that back
ing and help or he can do little to-
ward the public good. The splendid
equipment of Gov. Sanders for the
arduous duties of his office, his ex-
perience along lines that should be
of materiafhelp to him, and the pop
ular launching of his administration,
all tend to give him the strength nec-
essary to govern and control events
in keeping with his wishes. Wetrust
that his desires shall SO cornport
with the will and the wishes of the
people, that those. with whom he has
To deal in the matter of making laws
will readily recognize his policies rs
being in full accord with their views
upon all matters OF public policy.

Help for ,he High schools.

On last Tuesday DIR. Webber, State
Inspector, or Visitor IF Public
Schools, spent some time examining
into the methods and statue of the
Colfax high school. In the afternoon,
about 3 o'clock. several citizens and
a number of lady patrons of the
school were invited to the auditorium
to listen to the Doctor in an address
tO patrons, teachers and pupils. The
Doctor particularly approved Prof.
WeIch's methods and thoroughness
in teaching. and the pleasing order
observed among the children, and
his address was altogether interest
ing and instructive to all present.
He gave the interesting information
that a hill was to be introduced in
the Legislature to appropriate an
additional amount of about 1900
per ahnum To the high schools Of all
the parisoes, and said that there was
great hopes of the law being passed.

Gov. Blanchard, after firing a re-
markable avalanche of messages for
the consideration of the Louisiana
Legislature. is present mt the gather
ing, and Louisiana has been honored
by his being selected as chairman of
the important committee on resolu-

A Move in the Right Direction.

A Move In the Right Direction.
Representative DeArnond, Of Mis-
souri,, has introduced q bill making
it unln wful for the Government to in
sue d Fedral license to sell intoxicat-
ing liquors in prohibition States.
This informatiouis by telegram FROM
Washington, d. c., and is u move in
the right direction. Its enactment
into law will strengthen prohibition
by minimizing, if not making impos-
sihle, the slipping in of intoxicsnts
to prohibition States. As it is, the
Federal government almost nullifies
the prohibition law operative in the
States by the issue OF a Federal license
to sell whisky in such States.-Shreve-
port Caucasian. ~.

Parish School Bs.ard

The Town Talk is infurmed that
theiaw providing for the election Of
members of the parish school boards
contains "a clause that they be elected
without any provision for wards or
districts. In other words, some ri
the wards might not be represented
at all on the board. This is wrong.
All wards and districts in the parish
should he represented on the board,
and if the Legislature does not
amend the law. the parish Democrat
ic committees should remedy the mat
ter by calling for nominations from
every political division OF the parish,
40 that there be representation of all
sections in accordance with Demo-
cratic policy.-Alex. Town Talk.
This defect must he corrected, and
when the Legislatures attention is
called tn it the necessary amendment
will he provided. The suggestion of
the Town Talk as to representa-
tiOn on the board is in keeping with
Democratic doctrine. No section Of
the parish should have N monopoly
of the board.-Shrevp't Caucasian.
The generally accepted itien seems
to have been that the law provided
that each ward be represented on the
school board, and it is opportune
that the popularity of the law be
known and discussed at this time
Every ward should be represented.
and the Chronicle hopes the Grant
parish Democratic committee will 80
arrange it that nominations will be
made for school members from each
ward, in accordance with the above
suggestion, whether the Legislature
amends the law or not,
