MORE INTERCOURSE.

The manners, habits, customs
and even lingual pronunciation
are dissimilar in the several sec.
tions of the United States. There
are also gross misconceptions
among the later generations oil
each other, as well as the typo.
graphy of the country. This is
the result, largely, of the false
teachings from prejudice, until
they have been accepted as mat
tiers of fact. There never was a
more erroneous impression. The
remedy for this lamentable condi-
tion of public opinion is a closer
and more frequent intercourse
Seeing is believing. Closer inter
course. an interchange of ideas
and opinions will break down the
barriers OF false impressions and
strengthen the bonds of national
fellowship. bind the descendan $
OF common citizenship in closer
links by seeing things as they exist
and judging from personal exper-
ienCe. Ii would prove. A revelation
and disabuse the minds OF the
thousar ds who have been inocu-
lated with false teachings.

JUDGE TAFT'S ADDRESS.

The Republican nominee for the
presidency has issued a volumi-
Gus address of acceptance. 10
one who reads between the lines
and has kept in touch with the
political situation, it will display
a very ingenious method OF hedg'
ing. He is presumed to be the
exponent of President Roosevelt
policies. So he opens his cam
paign battery with grand salute
to his patron and steerer. Aware
of the obstacles that confront his
presidential aspirations, he seeks
to cover and conceal them with
flowing deliverance that will
hoodwink the masses. He seeks
to convey the impression that he
will follow in the wake OF the
Rooseveltian strenuoTs, radical
and revolutionary methods.
But behind his bold front there
appears in the background his
conservatism. He approprlates
some of the Democratic ideas and
enunciations. and repudiates a
part of the platform on which
he stands. His tactics are admir-
able, but may fail in their devel-
opement. He is the exponent Of
the trusts and corporations. and
they are expected to aid in his
elevation to the chief magistracy.
But behind these and mightier in
their united strength stands the
masses. They are the enthusiastic
admirers of Roosevelt. Will they
be deceived by the prominency OF
his chosen representatives
1t is one thing to utter plausible
sentences. but quite another to
keep in line with them in the heat
of political battle. Naturally he
upholds the tariff because it is the
bone and muscle of the corpora
tions and trusts. the great feeders
to the Republican sinews of war.
The main feature of Mr.. Taft'S
letter OF acceptance that will prove
in the nature of a boomerang. is
its submission to the supervision
and interlineation, by President
Roosevelt. 1t is already having
its effect. The idea is rather
nduseating to the average intelli-
gent American citizen, that a
candidate for the high office of
President of these United States
did not possess sufficient original
ity, intellectually or independence
to formulate his own line of pro-
cedure and policies to follow out.
1t is little wonder that they are
disappointed in the document
from the fact, as the States writes
it. it is "a speech framed up by
President Roosevelt and delivered
to the country through the teddy
graph. ;" 1t is well termed by the
Hartford Times. disgruntled
Democratic journal, IAN act OF
political abasement-we had al
most said of political effacement."

STATE BOARD OF EQUALIZATION.

Senator Perriu of Catahoula, IL
which he purports to make specific
charges against the State Board Of
Equalization. He makes six spe.
ci6c charges. The first charge he
makes is that they assessed the
pine timbered lands in Catahouls
for less than half their cash value
The second, that they raised the
assessment on cattle in that parish
to $500 per head.
Third, that they made trip
through Catahoula looking over
the Tensas Delta Land Company's
property on a boat chartered by
that company, and that they re
duced the assessment of that COM
pany's land SIoo, 900 as a result OF
that trip.
Fourth, that they have lowered
the valuation of property owned
by corporations and raised the
assessments on the farmers.
Fifth. tha; mules in the City OF
New Orleans were assessed at one
price, and in the country at a
higher price.
Sixth. a general charge as to
timber lands owned by specula-
tors.
These charges, coming just at
the meeting of this Board in its
annual sessions, are causing some
to think that there is no necessity
for such a Board, and we would
never have written a line. except
to say that we know of the neces-
sity for such Board in the State.
as every effort. by the parish as
SCISSORS, has failed to make the
assessments equal in the State.
We will make the contention OF
the Senator's first charge which
shows the necessity for Board
of Equalization. Should Cata-
houla and Winn property owners
let them be millionaire corpora
tions or private citizens) pay more
taxes in the State treasury than
the property owners in the par
ishes of Grant. Rapides. Sabine,
Vernon, Calcasieu. and in fact
every other paiish in the State
where pine timbered lands exist?
The Board is not authorized to
assess property. That is the duty
of the assessor. and where
majority have assessed their lands
the Board could not do otherwise
than have those in the minority
reduce their assessment to con-
form to that of the majority.
Hence the Board of Equalization
would have violated the sanctit,
of their oaths had they not reduc-
ed the assessment in Winn and
Catahoula.
As to the trip these gentlemen
made on a steamboat as the guests
of the Delta Land Company. The
Board has no fund for travelling
expenses and we are informed the
Delta Land Comprny was of the
opinion that when the assessor
and members of the Police Jury.
as well as the Board itself. should
see the conditions of great area
of their lands, that they would not
be classed as high, as good hard
wood timber or alluvial lands,
when the price paid for these
same lands was seven cents per
acre. They invited the Board to
make the trip with the above
named officers who accepted with
the consent. of the Governor first

fore. the charges numbers two and
three fail of their own inaccur-

The fourth charge is a general
one and the records of the Board

therein.

ments at the last session of tht

BURGLAR MAKES
GET AWAY FROM
CALDWELL Pen
Jacob Roupp, Under Eighteen
Months Sentence, Searched
for by Deputies.

Jacob Roupp, who was serving an
eighteen-months' term at the peniten-
tiary in Caldwell, made his escape
shortly before 10 o'clock today. The
county authorities are conducting a dn-
igent search for him. Roupp, who is
about 80 years old, was convicted of
breaking and entering a store in Or
ange street about two years ago.
After his sentence his counsel, Frank
M. McDermit, obtained a writ, but the
nper court upheld the conviction and
Roupp was taken in custody last Octo-
Der and has since been at the county
institution.
Owing 20 his conduct, which was con-
sidered exemplary by Warden Desch,
the prisoner was made q "trusty, and
he was permitted to work about the
stable.
Today as usual he was working
around and was seen for the last time
shortly after $3.50 a. m. Soon after he
was out of sight and the warden imme-
diately notified Chief Weimer, of the
prosecutors office, and Sergeant Tracy
at police headquarters.
Roupp is well-known about town and
it will be difficult for him to evade re-
capture in this vicinity. Roupp is about
five feet four inches. and 130 pounds in
weight, has dark skin and hair and blue
eyes.
The prisoner found his escape easy,
for there was no high wall to vault or
iron gates to file, 1t was simply case
of leaving the premises and disappear
ing over the lots.
