A recent dispatch from Jennings

A recent dispatch from Jennings
says:
Jennings, La.-Clinton Reed, a
negro bootbIack, fourteen years old,
stole from the Office Of Attorneys
Heinen and Modisette $500 in cur
reney this evening. AS soon as the
roll was missed Constable Z. r. Dep
uty was notified. The lawyers. know
ing the negro had been in the Office,
gave the description to the officer,
who soon captured the young thief
with the money in his pocket"
The careless and dangerous prac-
tice Of keeping large amounts Of
money in the Office or the home has
caused many to come to grief, and it
is not understandable why this is done
in the face Of the fact that there is
scarcely a town Of any consequence in
the country not provided with safe
and reliable banks, where anybody's
money is safe.
Perhaps Attorney Heinen has learn
ed 8 lesson from which he will profit
in the future. But it came near cost
ing him $500 to learn that lesson.

lana" Has'nt Been Heard o. GeVsFnoFshlp


n an editorial citing the fact that
Congressman Ransdall has announced
his intention Of not entering the
gubernatorial race the next running,
saving himself for a Senatorial toga
wrested from either Foster or Nc
Emery when their term expires IN
1912, and that several Of Louisiana's
patriotic sons have already signi-
fed their intentions Of answering the
calf Of the dear peeps and become
their Chief Executive, the Franklin
Waterman arrogantly comments that
st. Mary has not yet been heard from
on the latter subject.
there's Thomas Of Caddo, Herman
of Baton Rouge, Behrman Of New Or
leans, Lambremont Of st. James,
Broussard Of iberia, and others too
numerous to mention, all Of whom
would be willing to sacrifice indivi-
dual welfare to serve the public in
terest, and make a break towards
Baton Rouge" says the Franklin
Waterman, but when the time comes
around, we might produce the man
who might do the running in that d.
rection.a
Indeed St. Mary has a right to feel
'peart' about the Governors as well
as the Senators she has furnished the
State. Foster and Sanders reigned
superbly over Louisiana's destinies,
and Gallery and Foster rendered the
State yoeman service in the Senate.
1t does not matter where the Gov
ernor or the Senator halls from, 50
he does his full duty to his people and
his State.

shortly be . conference between the
state Conservation, Drainage and Wa
terways commission and members OF
the Iowa Highway commission 70 dis,
cuss plans tor the proper drainage Of
the roads OF Iowa Members VI the
Highway commission realize that the
state Conservation and Drainage com
mission can be OF inestimable value In
giving snggesticns for drainage In the
vicinity OF highways.
1t Is a notorious fact that the roads
OF Iowa are about the worst I'm the.
country. 1.-THE richer the soil the poor
er the roads" is an axiom that applies
to Iowa conditions. II Is the pur.
pose OF the cimmission to make an
exception to this rule and make It
read. "The richest soil and the best
roads,"
In this connection members OF both
commissions heartily endorse the sug-
gestion OF Governor Carroll that the
state build narrower roads. Secretary
DObsOn OF the Conservation cOmmls-
sion said recently that the suggestion
would be made for q sixteen foot fn-y
ish with gradually sloping sides SO
that the roads proper would drain.
That is the great problem. the proper
draining of the roads.
In this state where the greatest
Fart of the roads are on dead level.
1t is almost impossible to drain them
and the result is that for portion
of the year they are well nigh impass-
able. 1t is argued by those who are
agitating the plan suggested that fine
crops and good hogs do the farmer no
good II the roads are SO bad that he
can scarcely, get them ito market. II
is for this reason that the question OF
good roads In Iowa becomes an econ
.omic problem.
