A despatch to the Picayune last Satur
day from Lockport contains good argu
ment for free bridges and is in keeping
/ with the statements we have been repea
/ tedly making in our fight for free bridges
/ Visitors, people who come here with ;
view of investing and helping US build vi
| the parish, give expression TO the obJec
| tien TO toll bridges and stamp the relic O.
| barbarism as unprogreSsiye and as unfa-
vorable to development, and to capita
| taht tind all other conditions favorable
| but emphatically object to excessive CANA
tolls and 'to being held up by unreason-
able and arbitrary charges for passing
where PUBLIC HIGHWAYS SHOULD
EXlSTn--in other words bridges being
public highways should be free.
The al ticle, which speaks for itself and
goes to demonstrate the fact that intelii,
gent people can not cOnSclentlOuSly mold
out for toll bridges against free bridges
for the public good and that it is purely
selfish and monetary views, greed for easy
money that prevents free bridges IN La
fourche in that toll bridge interests have
the public officials OF this parish in their
grasp and theydare not stand for the pub
lie good. The article reads
IA party of Northern people spent part OF
this week in Lockport and vicinity, look
ing over reclaimed lands with view OF
purchasing or making report to other in
dividuals and corporations, who contem-
plate buying land here. The party was
composed of DR.. and Mrs. w. j. Ritchie,
of Youngstown, Ohio; T. p. Nesbit, a
real estate man of Chicago, ILL.,, and W.
S. Williams, of Chicago. In his capacity
of confidential adviser of bonding COM
panies, Mr.. Williams visits different sec
tions of the United States in which these
companies contemplate investing. Mr.
Williams visited the model farm at Smith
port plantation and the Fayport planta-
tion, which three years ago was a wilder
ness of wild grass, but which how con-
tains fields OF sugar cane, which will pro-
duce fifty tons to the acre, and the RACE
land prarie, where he reported seeing
fields of corn which are turning out
eighty-two bushels to the acre. MIR. Viii
liams took many pictures OF places vlsi-
ted, which he will develop and use in
making up his reports. He expressed him
self as astonished at the wonderful pro-
ductivity of the SOIL the splendid climatic
conditions, and the ease with which Tor
merly supposed waste places can be trans
formed into productive farms and planta-
tioas. The uufavorable conditions, COM
mented on by Mr.. Williams are the exces
sive tolls charged by the owners OF canals
through which it is necessary to pass in
order to reach the reclaimed sections of
the prairies, and for crossing public
bridges over the Bayou LafOurche. He
says that these things have tendency to
frighten off capitalists, who find all other
conditions favorable to investing large
sums of money in development work, but
who most emphatically object to being
heldup by unreasonable and arbitrary
charges for passing where public high
ways should exist

The Redmen, local tribe, Chez

junction with the Hiawatha Con-
cert Band last Thursday even
ing. While there was a large
crowd, the dance was by no
means the financial success that
the previous dance was. There
were more invitations issued
and while the Hiawatha Band
rendered good music, it was a
bit loud for inside dancing, and
the dancers here prefer string
music. The social end was a de-
cided success and the commit
tees in charge deserve special
mention; but the financial end
was not very pleasing to the com
mittee. The band rendered

THE THING
Northern capital most emphatically OBJ

that should be free.
Northern capitalists looking for invest

bridges but principally to private in-'

clashed Tuesday when the ex-Presi-
dent, speaking here, expressed senti-
ments on the control of the nations re-
sources strongly opposed to those ex-
pressed by Mr.. Taft in his speech of
yesterday. Where Mr.. Taft said "A
very important part of conservation
must always fall on the State legis-
latures, Mr.. Roosevelt said in speak
ing specincally OF water power lands,
ihere is apparent to the judicious
observer distinct tendency on the
part OF our opponents to cloud the
issue by raising the question of State
as against Federal Jurisdiction. We
are ready to meet the issue If IL is
forced upon US.
But there is no hope for the plain

Our National Guard.

IN view of the great number of in
stances in which the National Guard
has been called upon to act in sup
pressing domestic disturbances, it is
somewhat remarkable that so few Of
their organizations have received any
kind OF training in this character Of
military duty. While no altogether
hard and fast rules can be prescribed
which would apply to any particular
case or all cases, a systematic study Of
the problems which 1t is conceivable
might arise, as well as practical train
ing 1 nriot drill is most essential TO
ultimate success. Just as officers of
the regular army are required to
study and solve in peace assumed
strategical and tactical problems liza
bic to occur in future wars, so the
National Guard officers should engage
in like study of problems which ex-
perience has shown may arise in con-
hicts between the militia and rioters
Every officer of our citizen soldiery
should have a proficient knowledge OF
the character of troops best suited for
riot duty; the formations best adapted
