God give us men! A time like this de
mands
Strong minds, great hearts, tire faith
and ready hands.
Men whom the lust of office does not
kill:
Men whom the spoils of Office cannot
buy.
Men who possess opinions and a will;
Men who have honor; men who will
not lie.
Men who can stand before a dema-
gogue
And damn his treacherous gatherings
without winking;
Tall men, sun-crowned, who live
above the fog
In public duty and in private think
ing;
For while the rabble with their thumb
worn creeds,
Their large professions and their lit
tie deeds,
Mingle in selfish strife. 10! Freedom
weeps,
Wrong rules the land, and waiting
Justice sleeps.

the world" After the first evenings

REDUCTION IN SUGAR RATES
Judge BFaRoa UpheEds yates Established By
Railroad Gsmmlssiaa, Haleh MANS aueA.

Baton Rouge. La. Nov. 30.-Judge
H. F. Brunot today handed down a
decision sustaining the reasonable
mess of the rate instituted by the
commission three years ago On cane
shipments in Louisiana.
The case originated through the
efforts of the Sugar Planters Assoc
citation TO secure a reduction in rates
on cane. After a general hearing on
June IL, 1906, the commission put
into effect the following rates: Under
25 miles, 40 cents per ton; Is to 80
miles, As cents per ton; 30 to so
miles, SIS cents per ton; so to 100
miles, 65 cents per ton; 100 to 80
miles, 80 cents per ton; over $50
miles, $1,l5 per ton. These rates
were made effective On Sept. |, 1906,
but were held up BY the railroads
through an Injunction filed in the
District Court Of East Baton Rouge
parish. Two months ago the case was
argued and was decided today by
Judge Brunot.
The record in the case was very
voluminous. Judge Brunot based his
decision principally upon the fact
that the evidence showed that the
rates proposed by the commission
we're reasonable. They will mean a
big reduction in the present charges
and an immense saving to the sugar
planters. By the order there is q
100 per cent advance in the rates
where the railroads hauling the cane
in does not have a re-haul on the re-
fined product out.
