and ever the Baton Rouge State
Times. published in the shadow Of the

This is a strange greeting to give

Mars which gets a little carer to
the earth and looms up majestically
once in about twenty years. We are
equally surprised at the Baton Rouge
State-Times for saying that astrOn-
Omy was more closely studied by the
ancient Chaldeans than it is now. It's
study may have been more general,
but the astronomers have made such
preparations for the present visit
from the planet that they hope to
discover some evidence that it is in
habited, which is going the ancient
Chaldeans some better.
Over in Texas the amateur Observ-
ers at Beaumont, Victoria, Bedias and
Mount Calm took Mars for %airships,
which is perhaps a degree worse.
Some astronomers believe that the
Star of Bethlehem of tradition was
in reality Halley's comet, which has a

BIG QUESTION OF. THE DAY.
Conservation Of Ameriea's Natural
Resources Supremacy Important,
Says James J. Hill.

Some one asked James J. Hill II he
thought there was any practical need
of conservation of our natural re-
sources, and his answer was:
I'VE are fddling while Rome burns!
, Why is there a scarcity OF wheat!
! The Valley of the Euphrates was
once the garden Of the earth. Why
did that scepter OF greatness pass
away? When Greece was master OF
the known world why were laws en-
acted p%rOnouncing sentence OF death
on any one shipping grain beyond
Crete?
why did Rome build her wonderful
roads but to bring food from foreign
countries? Why did Spain launch out
on a policy of foreign conquest but
to bring from abroad the wealth
which her own soil could no longer
yield? Why did Greece and Rome
and Spain fall back from the leader
ship of the nations just as sOOn as
produce ceased to pour in from
abroad!
I'VE are growing more wheat than
ever UelOTe IN the history OIL luis
country" he says in Outing, but the
demand is growing faster than the
supply. European countries that for
merly used scarcely any white bread
now use a pound to a pound and a
half OF -four per capita a week, and
our own population is growing faster
than the food supply.
That is where conservation
touches us practically, but We need
not worry. Nature Is going to take
care of things. When wheat does not
average 81 much an acre 1t is not
worth raising. Do you know how long
1t took England to- mend her methods
to raise her averages from twelve
to twenty-five and thirty and forty
bushels an acre? 1t took her almost
fifty years.
In so years what population will
We have to feed? And we have not
even begun to mend OH methods. 1t
is the supremacy big question of the
day. Our farm averages are not a
third Of what they ought to be, of
what they could be made by simple,
rational methods"

GOOD ROADS.

TIE building and maintaining of
sood roads is a matter that should
have attention at all times, because
of their great Importance in so many
WAYS. Good roads are economy and
yenlence. They save ear and
tear on vehicles and on animals and
hermit OF heavier loads, thus saving
in the number OF trips, consequently
tine in hauling the products Of the
field to market and the products OF
the factory to the farmer. The hours
saved mean that much more time for
other work that will yield profitable
returns.
In convenience they afford pleasant
and rapid driving. easy access 10
town, prOmptness IN bringing the
doctor when badly needed, and foster
social intercourse among nelghpors
because visiting becomes only a mat
ter of a pleasant drive.
Good roads are not only savers OF
time and money, but make countr
life agreeable because they bring
neighbors together and make the dis
lance to town only a brief drive.
They also remove the isolation thai
bad roads cause, for they not only
develop social life, but give country
residents the advantage OF theaters
and other amusements in town be-
cause the distance becomes so short
ened by the brief time it takes IN
driving.
Good roads are a comfort and a
helm in many ways, and while 1t K
money. attention and are to have
them. yet they yield returns finan'
cially and in convenience and pleas
ure that far outweigh the cost.
Bad roads. on the other hand, cost
us far in excess of what we ever sus-
picion. 1t is only comparatively re-
Gently that people began to suspect
that good roads were a good thing
in every way. 1t was a common
thing In years past for men to drive
their wagons through mud holes and
boys up to the axle, some times or
row a passing team to pull through.
and take this thing as a matter OF
course and to be blamed on the
weather. If wagons broke and car
riages racked to pieces. it meant fix
ing, which was generally laid to bad
luck. But some years ago it began
to dawn that roads could be fixed
and when fixed it was quite satisfac-
tory. and the bad luck of breaking
buggies and wagons somehow disap-
peared. The idea began to spread,
and now good roads are talked from
one end of the country to the other.
And as the subject became popular
there were those who began to figure
onthe cost of good roads versus the
cost of bad roads, and the more they
figured the more certain they be-
came that in the long run good roads
actually cost less than bad ROADS.
The experience of those who have
enjoyed good roads for a number OF
years, and there are states and coun-
ties that have had good roads for
years, has proven that it is q fact
that good roads are cheaper than bad
ones, which snakes the matter of good
reads we'll worth our constant and
careful attention in this parish both
for the economy of them and for the
comfort and pleasure we viii get
from them.

The ADVERTISERS PRESENT
STAND?

Where does the Advertiser stand
on the strike trials?
Editor Smith is steadily proving
the case against himself and demon
strating to the community at large
where his true sympatheis lie In ref
erence to the strike prosecutions. He
is telling the public that he has no
interest except to see the guilty suf-
fer, simply desiring fair play and a
fair trial for them.
He would give the public to un-
derstand In his editorials that he is
and has been dead in earnest to see
that the lawlessness and criminality
developed among the japanese dur
ing the past six months shall be
punished.
YET LOOK AT HIS TREATMENT
OF THE CASE FOR THE PROSECU-
TON AND HIS COLoRED REPORTS
OF THE TRIAL.
Has his animus against this news
paper changed his feelings?
Does he now wish to throw down
TIE prosecution.
ARE HIS SECRET HOPES NOW
FOR A MISCARRIAGE OF JUSTICE
IN THE STRIKE TRIALS?
The editor is showing such a spirit
throughout.
Look at this mornings issue In
that connection and the glaring
headlines, Law Editor Chronicles

How does Mr.. Smith defend this
action? He can do 1t only in one
OF two ways. Either he is now

S,cause of the attacks upon him, and,

representation.

SMITHS POT OF GOLD.

WAS kinney PAID A FEE?

An interview with Mr.. Kinney as
to the question Of fees In reference
to the indictment of Editor Smith
several years ago elicits the state

no recollection of ever having re-

vices rendered-his recollection be-
Ing decidedly the other way = that
he may possibly be mistaken and
that a small fee may have been paid,
but he has no recollection whatever
of any such circumstance, and he
should very much like to see re-
ceipt for any money paid for the SER
vices In question.

PROFESSOR DENINd AND his
FEFS. |!

The Advertiser has referred sew
eral times to Professor Dening's
compensation for translating arti-
cles from Japanese into English as
huge fees" =.
What was the motive In 10 doing?
The motive was to impair the val
ue and imparitality OF these transla-
lions. The very expression huge
fees" used In reference to this wit
ness carries the suggestion that a
large amount Of money had been
used upon the witness to secure his
partisanship. ...
The reader will please remember
that II Is a boast of Editor Smith
that he stops at the threshold OF the
court house. Here are comments

that they shall not escape through

Mr.. Smith were In dead earnest for
a trial fair to the prosecution as

personal grievances. the case In

defending himself against the b =

standing of the case for the People
