On the 18th of August there will
be held in the City of Baton
Rouge a good roads convention,
composed of delegates from all
the river parishes lying on both
sides of the Mississippi from New
Orleans to Batou Rouge. The OBJ
ject of this convention, strongly
advocated by Governor Sanders,
is to build and maintain, on both
sides of the river, a fine public
road connecting the two cities so
that any kind of vehicle, but
mainly the automobiles can be
used on them. The project has
the strong endorsement of all the
automobiling clubs of both cities,
and of every good citizen as we'll.
That is another good thing that
the coming of the automobile is
doing, i. e., the construction and
maintenance of good public roads
in Louisiana, especially in the
country parishes. Bad public
roads have been a curse for so
long that, as the lawyer would
say, "the memory of man runneth
not to the contrary.

The long pending tariff wrangle
in the present Congress has at
last, obviously, wiped out all
there was of lines of demarkation
between the two great political
parties of the country. President
Taft is a tariff reformer largely
leaning towards the doctrines of
the Democracy. Free hides, free
sugar from the PHILIPPINES and
many other reductions in many
other directions. This is a con-
cession to and a victory for the
Democrats on that greatest
of all public questions, and there
can hardly be any doubt about it.
The political significance of it is
this: that the Republicans have
removed the tariff from the do
main of political questions and
have robbed the Democrats of
their best thunder. But what the
people will do to the Republicans
at the next election is something
to be conjectured over perhaps.

The Wright brothers, with their
aeroplane, are doing some pretty
brisk air navigation around, in
and about Washington, D. c.,
meeting with all the government
requirements one after the other.
On some of their flights they are
travelling at the rate of forty miles
an hour. Going some. Over in
la belle France they have got
the air-flying fever too. They
are flying across the English
Channel sometimes and some
times the machine gets out of
whack and a plunge is the result.
From all appearances the air-fly-
ing machine is within an inch or
two Of being a success. 1t is now
up to the law-making bodies to
begin establishing routes, lines,
circuits, ETC., and to provide rules,
taxes and penalties for the gov.
eminent of machine air-flyers.

A recent despatch to the Plea
yune from Burlington, VT, says:
"Confronted with question
similar to that which disturbed
the peace of Brownsville, Texas,
and resulted in a national scandal
the people of northwestern Yer
mont are acting not unlike their
Southern brethren.
Huntington, one of the north
ernmost cities of New England,
and a hotbed of abolition in ante
bellum days, is up in arms over
the decision to quarter 10000 me-
gro calvarymen at Fort Ethan
Allen, three miles from this city.
"White people have refused to
eat in restaurants with the me-
groes, and citizens of Burlington
and Winooski are seriously de-
manding separate cars for whites
and negroes on the trolley road,
Jim Crow cars, as they are called
in the South.
Huntington, with it's $4,000 in
habitants, is almost as badly
worked up as Winooski. Bur-
lington is a license city, while
Winooski, except for "blind til
gers" is dry. It is already hav-
ing trouble with negro soldiers
and anticipates much more when
the entire command has arrived"
