The good people of Verda have
been disturbed again hy the report
this week published In the Shreve-
port Times and other papers, that
twenty-five or more OF the school
children has been poisoned by drink
grounds. The report Is grossly ex-
aggerated as only two or three oi
the children were sick, supposedly
from drinking water out of the well
in question. Samples Of the water
have been sent to State Chemist Metz
for analysis, and on his report will
rest further investigation. The gen
orally accepted belief is that the well
has become foul from surface drain
age. and that caused some of the
children tn get sick.

ficable be extended to the entire work
being carried on by the government
The present law should be amended to
embrace contracts on those public
works which the present wording Of
the act seems TO exclude.
The Courts.
most earnestly urge upon the con-
gress the duty of increasing the totally
inadequate salaries now given to our
judges. On the whole, there is no body
of public servants who do as valuable
work nor whose moneyed reward is so
inadequate compared TO their work.
Beginning with the supreme court, the
judges should have their salaries dou-
bled. 1t Is not BETTING the dignity Of
the nation that its most honOred public
servants should be paid sums so small
compared TO what they would earn in
private life that the performance of
public service by them implies an ex-
ceedingly heavy pecuniary sacrifice.
1t is earnestly to be desired that
some method should he devised for do
ing away with the long delays which
now obtain In the administration of
justice and which operate with pecul-
lar severity against persons of small
means and favor only the very crimi-
nails whom it is most desirable to pun
ish These long delays in the final
decisions of cases make in the aggre-
gate crying evil. and a remedy should
be devised. Much of this intolerable
delay is due to improper regard paid to
technicalities which are a mere hin
drance to justice. In some noted re-
cent cases this overregard for techni-
caIities has resulted in a striking denial
of justice and fragrant wrong to the
body polite.
