FEEL OUR PROTEST.


feeling the justice of the protest
Of st. Martin parish and the pro-
liable result if the matter is taken
to the Court, to prevent the At
obafalaya Levee Board from u.s.
ipg money levied for leves bull
ding within said district, to build
locks on Bayou Lafourche outside
of tho district, has passed the fol-
lowing resolutions at Donaldson
vile Thursday of last week:
"Ths police jury of the parish
of Ascension met yesterday at the
Court house in regular session,
President George b. Reuss, Se"re-
tary, G. C. Weber. District Attor-
nsy. P. H. Gilbert and quorum
present. The following resolution
regarding the action of the Police
Jury of st. Martin Parish in pro-
testing against the Atchafalaya
Levee Board appropriatiug the
sum of $4,000 towards building
the locks at the head of Bayou La
fourche, was offered by Henry L.
We'll, the member from the fourth
ward, and unanimously adopted:
"Whereas, at joint meeting of
the Atchafalaya Basin and La
fourche Levss District, held at
Donaldsonville, La. last month an
appropriation of $500, 900 was made
by said leves boards for the pur-
pose of building locks at the head
of Bayou Lafourche subject to the
approval and aid of the United
States Government; therefore be it
Resolved, That this Police Ju-
ry, III regular meeting assembled,
do hereby approve the action Of
said levse boards as being of great
benefit to the citizens of tho Pa
risbes of Ascension, Assumption
and Lafourchs; one that will aid
in the relief of tho great mass of
waters of tho Mississippi River;
be it further
Resolved, That we condemn the
action Of the Police Jury of the
Parish of st. Martin as being one
of selfish motive, and not knowing
the great benefit that the building
of this lock would be to the open
ing Of the great waterway, and to
a large portion of the levse tax
payers of those two parishes"
We believe it 10 the duty of the
Policy Jury of st. Martin parish
to at once employ COunsels to re-
sist this appropriation and to ap-
ply to the Courts to prevent the
paying Of this money for other
purpose than levee building with
in the limits of the District.
The lands of the parishes Oh
the east bank of the Atchafalaya
River are already we'll protected,
hundreds of thousands of dollars
have been spout by the Atchafala-
ya board for their protection, while
the lands and parishes on tho west
banks of the Atchafalaya River
have paid hundreds of thousands
of dollars for leves protection aud
not a dollar was spent for their
benefit, and in the face of this in
justice. this outrage, the board has
the gall to appropriate $4,000 to
build locks in anO, her district.
Will the people Of st. Martin
and other interested parishes mild.

The St. Louis Times persists in
saying that the panic and indus
trial disturbance of 1907 was due
to a ''savage assault upon the
credit of the railways" Its policy
for some time past has been one
that legislators should keep their
hands off the railroads, and let
them run their business to suit
themselves. The Times Is ICON
servative''. 1t also argues that
legislative interference with the
liquor traffic is an undesirable ele-
ment in our social and material
welfare. Conservatism has al
ways been check-rein on pro
gress, and a good newspaper like
the Times ought'to stand for social
progress rather than be a clog in
its path. Legislative interference
with the common carriers was not
the outgrowth of desire on part
of the public to wreak an injury
upon the railroads, but to check
the aggressions of the railroads
upon the interests of the public.
1t has become an issue whether
we shall have government for
the protection and aggrandization
of commercial interests, or whether
we shall have a government of the
people, which shall exploit its re-
sources and commerce for the
welfare and happiness of the peo.
nla.

Distributing Population.

The efforts of Governor Hadley
to attract desirable immigrants to
this State, through a commissioner
at the country's principal port Of
entry, gives local interest to figures
recently issued by the Census
Bureau on the estimated distribu-
tion of the population of the United
States. These figures show that
one'third of our population is in
the thirteen original States and an.
other one third in territory former
" belonging to the original States,
but now erected into thirteen ad.
ditional ones. The remaining
third is scattered over Florida, the
Louisiana purchase, Texas, Wash
ineton and Oregon and the lands
secured from Mexico as an ont.

Use the books you have. When it

1t is estimated that it will take
half billion dollars more to move
the crops Of the middle west this
year than in previous years. This
simply means 80 much more mon
ey for the farmers, and so much
added to the cost of living. Our
Democratic friends are always in
sisting that the Republican party
is responsible for the increased
cost of the necessities of life, so we
wonder what the farmer of Demo
cratic persuasion thinks about the
situationg Would he be willing
to abandon his prosperity to make
good the charges Of his party
against the Republicans9 If not
he should quit being a Democrat

mense development of which our
country is still capable. Even
supposing the original States were
supporting their maximum of
population, which older nations
show is not the fact, there is room
for millions more in the States cut
off from them and the sustaining
capacity of the great West, which
has come to the nation since its
birth, is many times that of the
original colonies, because greater
both in area and natural resources.
The agricultural and industrial
possibilities of the West have only
been scratched.
These estimates are an answer
to the perennial question of what
is going to be done with the mil
lions Of immigrants coming to this
country annually. Places can be
found for them easily enough, but
the difficulty has always been in
getting them into the proper
places. They stick close to the
big cities of the East and cannot
be made to see the opportunities
open for them in the undevelopec
agricultural sections of the West
Official representation by the
States at immigration headquar
ters will do much toward solving
the problem, or rather two pro
blems-that of getting Immigrant

St. Louis is just now having
trouble with its police force. This
must always happen in any COM
munity where an attempt is made
to harmonic vice with law and
order. Chicago is having similar
trouble, with all the nastiness of
official bribery by the vicious ele-
ment for exemption from the pen
atty of its offenses. Notwithstand-
ing the fact that all large cities
are heavily taxed for the maintain
ance of their police forces, whose
duty it is to suppress crime, little
real effort on part of the police is
put forth in this direction. Only
just enough arrests are made to
give an appearance of activity in
behalf of law and order. The pol
ice, from the standpoint of self
interest, recognize the necessity of
lawIessness in these communities,
since, if they became too diligent
in its suppression there would
shortly be little employment for
policemen and consequently no
Jobs, and the rule is now to show
growing necessity for more police.
The vicious element is the basis
that necessitates a public guar
dianship, and this being SO, the
guardians are going to take care
not to disturb vice to the ex tent of
it's complete eradication.
