Political Reform In China.

The actual change Of rulers in China
came suddenly, but the surprise, had
been : discounted. 1t had been an
nounced that the dowager empress,
who was the real ruler, would abdi-
cate at the beginning Of the Chinese
new year. In that event the programme
for the titular emperor and for the
succession would have been managed
in the usual way. The nation had beer
schooled to expect Prince Chun and
his heir when the time came for a
change, and SO the palace was revolu-
tionized without precipitating an i'm.
mediate outbreak Of the people.
Whether reform in China will &C.
cept patiently the programme laid out
by the imperial counciA must soon be
determined. A constitution has been
declared and the time set for the in
a%uguration of sweeping reforms in the
structure of good government. Ten
years is a long period to expect the
people who have waged some of the
fercest and the longest rebellions Of
modern days to be, good. 1t may be
that the reforming element of China
is not organized for revolution. but it
has a programme which is preached
necessarily. demanding practically "a
revolution of the army. the navy and
the civil system of the central govern
ment. All Asia is seething with aspi-
rations for radical reform, and the ad-
vent of a new regime in Pekin is the
signal for Chinese reformers to put
their claims up to the PALACE.

Of enthusiastic praise, and everybody

Choosing Game Wardens.

The game commission, which
is composed of Frank W, Miller,
president, from the city of New
Orleans; DR.. Oscar Bowling of
Shreveport and John D. Fisher
of Baton Rouge, met in New Or
leans last Monday and adopted
five important rules that will be
used as a guide in the appoint
ment of the game wardens in the
different parishes of the State.
1t is believed that with the rules
as promulgated none but the
best men suited for the positions
will be chosen as wardens in the
different parishes. The follow
ing five rules were adopted in
the selection of the men:
First-A warden, to obtain an
appointment, must give the COM
mission the benefit of his whole
time in the actual prosecution OF
the work of enforcing the game
and fish laws of the State.
Second-A warden must not
be less than q years of age nor
over so, with good sight and
hearing.
Third-Each warden shall be
paid a salary of $685. 6per month;
provided, the income from the
parish in which he works justi-
fies such an expenditure.
Fourth-No warden shall incur
) any expenses except on the writ
e ten permission of this board.
. Fifth-The board places mini
t mum levy of 500 on each parish
r to defray the general expenses
: of the board.

Increase the Yield.

One of the most successful
farmers in the section OF the
state which has been infected
bv the boil weevil for the
past four years is J. T. Fish
er, Jr., of Keatchie, DeSoto
parish. Mr.. Fishers farm is
upon upland soil, which yielded
about a third of a bale to the
acre before the boil weevll
invaded the state. This year
Mr.. Fisher will make approx
mately a half bale to the acre,
and he states that his crop this
wear is larger than last year, and
larger than any year since the
coming of the Weevil. In dis
GUESSING his method of fighting
the wecvil, Mr.. Fisher says:
Il am just now finding ou'
how to successfully make cotto1
in spite of the weevil. You mus
clean up your fields thoroughly
in the fall, so as to destroy tn
weevil then; plant earlier varie
ties than heretofore; fertile

The Negro and the Pistol.

1t is estimated by a man who
should know what he is talking
about that of the young negro
bucks between the ages of twen-
ty and thirty, seven out of ten
carry revolvers.
AS long as they use them to
shoot up each other there will be
no general complaint, Perhaps;
but what a menace to law and
order it is to have so many ne
groes loose in the community
bearing arms.
If it is true that seven out of
ten young negroes carry guns,
is the average white man doing
himself and his family justice if
he fails to break the law and go
unarmed?
What is the alternative?
Disarm the negro, of course.
But how are we going to do 1t!
Here is problem that presses
for solution. No man, white OF
black, unless he is an officer Of
the law in the discharge of his
duty, should be permitted tt
carry adeadly weapon concealed
on his person. Certainly the ir
responsible young negro is thu
last person that ever should b.
given that privilege.
But how shall the practice b
broken up?-Crowley Signal.

National Road Building.

The secretary of the National
Good Roads Association in% let
ter to New York paper Ne
sents in general outline a plan
for building good roads by the
Federal government, by the
levying of a special road tax.
His idea is summarized as fol-
lows:
/. That if we are to have good
roads within a generation the
Federal government must assist
in building them.
2. That the government con
tributionS be pro rated among
the states as the work is done on
the basis of one.half the gross
sum upon the full mileage OF the
state and half upon the basis
of population. The plan works
out fairly to all the states. This
plan would make available out of
$500, 100000 approximately S25,,
100000 for New York, $26, 900,
900 for Pennsylvania, $22, 100000
for Illinois, $18, 100000 for Ohio
S13, 100000 for Michigan, etc.
3. That actual construction OF
the roads should be done under
state supervision upon specltica
tons approved by the United
States government engineers.
4. That the initiative should b.
, left with the respective town
ships, road districts or parishes
, these to furnish at least one
third of the total cost, with tn
state clothed with power to vet
D any improvement if of insutfic
D ent Importance. This poWe
! would probably be seldom if eve
O used. It may be assumed if tn
r. road was not a main highway an
p needed the people Of townshl
d would not vote to build it Whe
!, they had to raise at least on
+. third of the money required
st do so.
% 5. That if this country is
Ie fulfill it's high destiny and me-
n the requirements placed upon
70 by it's wealthy position and i
is opportunity, good roads are
Vi paramount necessity, and to g
d. them speedily requires both Re
n eral and state aid to hearten tt
IL people to undertake this gre
m work. Good roads will do mo
oa for the education, social and et
90 nomic development of the wh'
81. country than any other sins

Justice to Dead and Living.

Commenting forcefully on con-
ditions in the former city treas
urer's office, the States-Times
among other good things says:
It is apparent that at one time
a shortage of $4,000 existed.
Was it intended or purposed to
keep that shortage, or part OF 1t,
hidden temporarily or perma#
nently?
It is due both to the dead and
to the living to ascertain how that
shortage occurred, when it oc-
Cured, and who were involved
in it, whether simply in lax and
careless business methods or in
private or political use of public
funds which it was expected to
convert back into the treasury
before the absence could be as
certained.
