tention. With man on his back he

Rice industry Of the South.

In 1904 the United States changed
from a rice importing to rice export
ing country. In 1898 we imported 49,
100000 pounds Of rice and exported
100000 In 1904 our exports of rice
increased 80 per cent, our imports de-
clined 20 per cent. and the figures
were; Exports, $4,000, 900 pounds; Inn
ports, 1877. 100000. For 1906 the figures
will be even better.
The encouraging feature is the And
ing of foreign market for our rice.
There is no limit To the amount we can
raise II there is market for II. but
the price is unsatisfactory II we overpIo
duce, for the home market Is very lin
tied. II we can arrange to ship any
considerable portion OF our crop
abroad the rice growers OF Louisiana
and Texas will have nothing to fear In
the way OF low prices.-1New Orleans

THOSE IRREGULARITIES

Two OF the auditing committee
which was appointed TO look into
the affairs OF the state departments
at Columbus have found that In
three departments there has been
an unauthorized expenditure OF mon
eys. State Auditor Guilbert, the
other member OF the committee re-
fuses 10 sign the report which has
been In the hands OF Governor
Harris tor almost II not quite a
month. Although the governor has
had the report for mat length or
time, II was only Saturday that any
inkhnl3 OF the contests was given
to the public The two members who
signed the report, one a Republican
and the other Democrat, find that
these unauthorized expenditures
were made in the departments OF the
attorney general, adjutant general
and public printer
There has been much speculation
as 70 what was contained In the re-
port which was filed some weeks
ago, but no inkling could be Sc
cured. The report has been held up,
presumably for political reasons.
The disclosures coming so closely
upon the heels OF the findings OF
the commission which Investigated
the treasury OF the state and which
reported such flagrant wrongs upon
the part OF the officials OF that de-
partment II Is believed will have a
decided effect upon the result OF
the election next fall and the Re-
publicans have troubles enough TO
settle without having anything in
addition. The mere fact that State
Auditor Guilbert refuses to sign the
report is suspicious.
There may OF course be no wrong
done aside from the expenditure
OF money without the authority OF
the Legislature That is all OF the
expenditures made may be regular
and necessary. but there is the

ELIMINATING BILL POSTERS.
IN France They are Subject to a Tax
According to Size.

Temporary "affches," or posters,
are subject to a stamp tax, according
to size, of from two to six cents per
sheet. This is attached either In the
form Of stamped paper ON which the
revenue stamp is applied to the sheet
before being printed IN such way
that the stamp is cancelled by the
text being printed over 1t, or It may
be attached adhesively afterward ana
cancelled by rubber stamp provided
for that purpose.
Before being publicly displayed each
poster is required to be presented in
duplicate at the Office designated for
that purpose, dated and signed either
by the person In whose interest IL
Us prepared or by the bill poster who
Is charged with posting the same.
One copy is filed at the office OF re.
gistration, the other. signed and
stamped by the official in charge, IL
returned to the applicant.
II will be obvious that system so
rigid and elaborate as this gives tne
authorities of every village and COM
mune In France absolute control OF
all posters and announcement display
ed in public places and practically
suppresses the abuses which prevail
In that respect In certain other coun-
tries.
No one Is permitted in France, TO
deface streets and public places with
crude, ostentatious announcements or
his business or other subjects. Bill
boards are infrequent In France. and
are generally built permanently into
wall, where they are taxed according
to their superficial area.
When a building is in construction
and board screens are erected to
shield the public from dust and other
annoyance, such temporary screen
VIII soon be covered with posters OF
alnusements and other business, but
each poster so displayed has been pre-
yiously submitted to the authorities,
license obtained, and each sheet bears
the cancelled revenue stamp, accord
ing to its size.
The department stores and other
large popular retail establishments
have permanent spaces in the stations
OF the Metropolitan subway, and their
colored posters which are there dis
played are always in good taste. and
often interesting as works OF decora-
tive art.
The walls OF market houses bear per.
manent framed billboards for the dis
play OF administrative announce
ments. Agencies for the sale of the
atre, opera and other amusement
tickets are permitted to display col.
ored announcements OF such perfor.
mances inside their windows as pos.
ters, but the promiscuous plaearding
OF patent medicines and drinks on
houses, fences and dead walls is not
permitted.
Electrical signs are permitted and
used to some small extent in Paris,
but not SO generally as In Berlin,
London and some other European cit.
les For each sign OF this class OF
public advertisement special permit
must be obtained from the prefecture.

q reasonable per centage OF such
voters. But the, candidates selected
by the Independence Party are en-
tirely unknown outside OF their
own States and IT. may be considered
that the Hearst danger has passed.
Voters as rule are not given, to
throwing away their votes on un-
known candidates of third parties.
That is especially the case with the
Labor vote, which is seeking relief
through immediate Legislation and
can only get 1t through the success
of the Democratic party, which has
always been the friend of the wage
Garner, the farmer, and producers,
and opposed to monopoly in every
form.
The first of the political frauds
that may be expected Of the Republi-
can politicians In this campaign
has already been reported, and the
evidence of It comes from Mr..

or less suspicion upon the men in
whose departments these expendi-
lures we're made in which the viol-
lation of law occurred. One thing is
certain. Had the irregularity oc-
CURED in some county Office which
was presided over by Democrat,
State Auditor Guilbert would have
been only too anxious to have the
public know that another thief and
CRATER had been captured.
Sauce for the goose is sauce for
the gander as well. II Auditor
Guilbert is so overly jealous in
running down criminals in the
counties, he should not weaken when

official family at Columbus.

Washington, ID. c.. Aug. 3-rhe
question that is narrowing the souls
OF the politicians Is. how many votes
can the Hearst party draw from the
Democrats In the doubtful States,
and how many Republican votes Will
the Prohibition ticket get in the
same States?
1t is quite a debatable question
