Mrs. j. w. Brandon,
SAP Broadway. New Orleans
Announces that after May IL
she will take transients for
SIPS per day.
Notice..
New Orleans

We beg to inform our patrons,
and the public generally, that we
have decided upon opening an
office for the transaction of an
insurance and real estate bust
ness in the city of Baton Rouge
about June 1st next.
This will in no way conflict
with our business here. In fact
we hope to be in better position
to assist our friends in West
Feliciana in matters pertaining
to Real Estate, as it will give US
a larger field for operation.
The office in Baton Rouge will
be in charge of our Mr.. Percy,
who will reside there; Mr.. For.
roster continuing in the office at
St. Francisville.
1t is through no dissatisfaction
with West Feliciana, but only to
meet the enlargement of our
business, that we make this
change, and have selected Baton
Rouge, chiefly on account of its
nearness to st. Francisville and
Bayou Sara.
We wish to thank our patrons
for the business entrusted to US
in the past and respectfully So
licit a continuance of their pat
ronage, assuring them that we
are at all times anxious to serve
them.

Grange Hall School

The Grange Hall school closed
May q, without any closing ex.
ercises, other than the regular
Friday afternoon session, as the
children had taken part in the
program of the Children's Day
exercises at Concord and Fair
view churches, this month.
The enrolment for the session
was 81, but being a farming dis.
trict, Il number of the children
were withdrawn to assist in the
spring farm work. AS a whole,
the work was successful, and all
who attended regularly were
promoted to the next grade.
The Improvement League was
organized, and the only step
taken toward improvement was
to start two petitions for secur-
ing means to enlarge the school
room, as it was unCOmfOrtably
crowded.
Plans were made to start a
school garden but were not Car.
ried out. The vegetable and
flower seeds were distributed
among the children and they Sc,
cured beds III the home garden
in which to plant them. They
were greatly pnthused with the
idea, and some fine specimens
of both flowers and vegetables
were brought in this week. They
hope to have u garden of their
own, next session. at school.
A prize was offered for i'm
tprovcmcnt in writing and neat
ness of all exercises handed in
The same was awarded to Carter
Lee.
All hope to see a new building
erected before the opening o.
the session 1909.l0.

OFFICIALS ARE NOT INACTIVE
Rigid investigation Into Methods of
Giant Corporations is Going
Forward.

Government investigation of some of
the giant corporations which have Sc
cured a controlling grip on resources
and utilities did not cease when Theo-
dorse Roosevelt left the White House
The machinery which he set in motion
has not been stopped The Taft ad-
ministration has continued the inquest
into the methods of the sugar trust.
and has reached results.
Wholesale frauds in evading the
payment of customs dues have been
uncovered Cheating on large scale
in the weighing of imported sugar has
been laid bare. The methods by which
the trust wrecked rival concerns have
been traced. And with discovery has
come action. Several officials and
employees of the sugar company have
been arrested for cheating the gov
ernment out of custom house duties.
Indictments have been brought against
some of the directors under the anti
trust laws, and civil action has been
commenced by the federal receiver of
sugar refining company that was
forced to the wall. The facts which
are being brought to light tend to
show that the men who built up the
sugar trust were as ruthless in ac-
quiring absolute control of the com
modify they manufactured as wolves
in a sheepfold.
1t is not the intention of the gov
ernment officials who have been en-
trusted with the prosecution to rest
content with the arrest of some of
the little fellows. They are after the
men higher up. The people, who are
forced to pay whatever prices for
sugar this $90,0OO,0OO trust dictates,
wish them speed and success.

No Central Bank.

The Sun will always oppose a CEN
trail bank of issue. Such a bank is in
tended by the monetary commission.
The policy of that body, as now for
mally disclosed by Senator Aldrich.
points to no other consummation.
1t is our conviction that a central
bank of issue bearing the same rela-
tion to the money of this country that
the banks of France and of England
bear to the money Of those countries,
would prove national evil
This government is traditionally and
temperamentally unsuited to such an
institution. If Mr.. Aldrich and his as
sociates by their united genius can
fashion a central bank whose func-
tions and powers shall be purely auto
matte and mechanical, well and good
But such bank with us is impossible.
We have developed no class in
America from which we could create
or recruit the administration and con-
troll of such an institution, while to
isolate it from our political life is hope
less.-New York Sun Gnd Rep.).

NO "MORAL REVOLT"

Tariff Issue PLAYED Small Part in the
State Elections of 19o9-Littls

It is amusing to find Harper's Week

tory for the Democratic party on the
issue of tariff revision. We have not
been able to see that the tariff is
sue played a large part in the state
elections of 1909. The Democratic
party in Maryland expressly excluded
national issues" from the recent cam
paign. The state convention probably
took that course in order to avoid the
embarrassment of drawing up a dec
laration which should approve the war
ring votes at Washington of the two
Maryland senators. one of them, Mr.,
Raymer, being a free raw materials
Democrat and the other, Mr. Smith,
ardently advocating the Bailey brand
of protective revenue" duties on raw
materials. The Democrats carried
Maryland without once mentioning the
fact that congress had revised the
tariff. They also carried Virginia-by
reduced plurality-after a canvass
in which the tariff question was frank
ly ignored. In that state, too the Dem
ocratfc party had to consider the atti-
tude assumed by the senior United
States senator, who was a candidate
for reelection. Advocating an in

there was a seething desire in the
breasts of New England voters to re-

going to account for the fact that in
Rhode Island, which was treated with
just as friendly consideration as Mass
