REFORMATION OF WEST POINT
 Notwithstanding President Taft is is a most jovial person, it has been observed within his yet brief service that he manages to do, in spite of opposition, what he sets out to do. When occasion requires, he is the persOnification of firmness and deter imitation without buster.
 The president appears now deter mined to do what has never been effectually tried before-to break up the practice of hazing at the United States Military Academy. Other presi- dents have made spasmodic efforts in this direction. Though now and then a cadet has been expelled, the au- thorities have usually yielded to pres sure and the culprits have been re- instated.
 There was an outbreak of hazing at the academy in the administration of President Roosevelt, eliminating in a particularly fragrant act in which upper classmen were involved. Their expulsion was recommended by the academy authorities and they were actually expelled. Then came the pressure on the president and con- gress, with the result that the vio- lators of discipline were restored.
 We believe that the excuse for their restoration was that the army needed more officers than were being turned out in the ordinary course so that it was better to overlook the delinquency of which they had been convicted.
 There is raised in such sugges- ton the question whether the army in any circumstances needs an officer who as a cadet was not amenable to the discipline of the academy.
 George A. Custer was the most in tractable of West Point cadets. He had been punished by suspension, threatened with expulsion and would have been expelled but for the urgent need of officers in the Civil war.
 He served in the latter part of it with great gallantry, became a popu- lar idol and secured promotion in spite of his frequent infractions of discipline.
 But, however great his service, it would have been better for his coun- try if he had been expelled from West Point, for there would not have oc- cured that awful slaughter on the Little Big Horn, the direct result of Busters disobedience of orders.

A SOCIAL WAR.

Social storms have been raging at the New York state building at the Seattle exposition. Mrs. B. NJ. Will COX, wife of ex-Senator Wilcox of Auburn, chairman of the exposition committee of the New York state legislature, ordered Mrs. Howard J. Rogers, wife of Secretary Rogers of the commission, elected from the state building. Mrs. Rogers took apartments at a hotel and has given out a heated interview in which she calls Mrs. Wilcox her social inferior. Performances of that nature will not enhance the reputation of New York state in the estimation of the people of the Pacific coast. It is unfortu- nate that nobody has authority to send the entire delegation back home. Complaints have already been made by visitors to Seattle from New York that the social atmosphere of the state building was close to the zero mark. For some reason or other violent jealousies almost always break out in connection with the social side of these eXpositions. The Jamestown exposition caused a break in Virginia society that even yet can hardly have healed.

FAIR PLAY FOR CORPORATIONS.
(Terds Farm and Ranch.)

We do not fear 10 do justice to
railroads, or to individuals, or to
corporations" For justice, all
places, temples aud all seasons
summer" We have never taken
part in the crusade against corpo-
rations. That the business of the
country must DO done through
corporations is evident, and with
out corporations none of the great
undertakings which mark civiliza-
ton would be possible. They are
beyond the capacities of indivi-
duals, or of co-partnership.
The continual denunciation of
corporations by demagogues is
worse than folly; it is harmful. and
makes times bard. The burden
falls upon the poor, and those
least able to bear it.
Corporations are good, bad and
indifferent, rs individuals are; and
some of them very good; aud 9TH
ers very bad. The corporation is
good or bad, as the individuals
who direct it are good or bad.
Much has been written and said
against public service corpora
tions," as if being public service
corporations made them bad. Some
public service corporations are do
ing good work, are honestly man
aged, and are to be commended.
Some are large, some small. One
owns few drays, some carriages,
aud few horses. This has less
than $1,000 capital. A public SER
vice corporation may be part of a
trust; and So may a private corpo-
ration. And individuals may also
be part of trust.
A corporation is lawful; trust
Is unlawful. They should not be
confused, aud COMBINATIONS should
be only where it is deserved.
When church is incorporated it
ought not to be bad thing; and
when sOme charitable institution
becomes corporation it's corpo-
rate character does not make it al
evil. Some orphan asylumns are
Incorporated; and most schools are
incorporated. An organization to
find homes for homeless children
has been incorporated. The lrou-
bic lies with people who do not
make distinctions.
No corporations should be per-
mitted to have powers beyond con-
troll of the state which grants the
charter. Individuals must remain
subject to laws, So long as they
elect to live within state, and to
charter corporations with privi-
ieges beyond control of law is to
grant too much.

Good Roads Question.
Valley ofthe Teche Oct. rs.


If our local papers took up the
road questions and criticised the
road overseers as they often de-
serve, there might be some i'm.
provement in the system and the
public money would not be squan-
dered as is too often the case in
our parish
The Weekly Messenger has this
to say in its issue: 1--WE have no.
tIced on our worked roads little
levee left between the worked road
and the ditch; this, in our opinion
is poor work and waste Of money.
When a road is worked, it should
be made the duty of the contrac-
tor to give first class work aud
first class roads. The scratching
with the pillow and little scraping
of dirt do not always make good
work and good roads" The last
part of the above sentence should
have read, never make good work
and good roads.
Since the new system has been
inaugurated in this Parish, [ have
been fighting against the working
as mentioned above. that work is
tantamount to giving away the
public money which is So badly
needed for many other purposes.
1t is possible with the implements
that the road overseers have, to
make roads that would be an hon.
or to any community. have con-
tended that the Dominique Broth
ers built the best roads by far in
the parish, they improve their
work continually. They are now
constructing the road between
Breaux Bridge aud Grand Point
of which every citizen should be
proud. The bitches that are dug
Oh each side of the road are worth
for draining the road and adjacent
lands, more than twice the amount
that it would cost to build the road
itself; here you have a thorough
drainage and a thorough roadbed.
Overseers, before you start bull
ding any more roads, come and
look at this perfect piece of work,
it will make your heart beat with
pride if you have the nerve to do
as well, but if you think you can't
initiate stay away, for it will keep
those nerves on edge when you
look at your construction, to think,
how poor your work is, compared
to that model of dirt road. Po-
lice Jurors, you are honor bound,
don't consider political factions,
no matter OIL what side they may
be, get men that will do the work
rs the DOmingues are doing. If
the overseers have not got the
proper teams; and the proper
tools; and the proper brains be-
hind the mules, kick them out and
put some one in the harness who
will pull for the public good and
you will deserve the gratitude of
a grateful people.

opened with quotations from Van

Following this the teachers divi-

of Education, which discussion
WAS led 10y Miss Isabella Dubroca.

Grammar and Its Reasons, con
Quoted by Prof. A. Nj. Whipple,
and participated Oh by the teach
ers OF high school subjects. While
this was in progress the other
teachers under the leadership of
Miss Elizabeth Moore entered into
a profitable discussion of Nature
Study and Life. Prof. Kidder of
l.. 5. U. gave some valuable sug-
gestions in this work. Miss Full
lerton taught all the teachers a
song, and gave suggestive out
line of the work in this subject
that might be undertaken in The
schools during the month. The
institute then adjourned to the
Fair grounds where they listened
to al address on Agriculture in
the Schools. and particularly on
corn culture. Prof. Kidder's ad.
dress was full of practical hints,
aud all who heard it found it in
teresling aud profitable. Adjourn
ment was taken until the after

At one o'clock the teachers re-
sumrd their session in the high
