Saturday Evening Band Concerts Con.
tinue to Draw Big Crowds,

The Saturday evening band con-
certs are increasing in popularity, as
is evidenced by the increasingly large
crowds that assemble to hear them on
each reoccuring Saturday night.
Last Saturday night the streets in
the business section of the city, were
literally filed with throngs of people,
who had assembled to enjoy the music.
Nor is the crowd exclusively from the
town itself, for many families from
the country come in on Saturday even
ing to enjoy the weeks end concert,
and incidentally do good deal of
shopping, who otherwise would not
come at all.
In behalf of the Band we want to
say that these concerts are given for
the benefit of the town, and that the
band has neither asked nor received
any financial remuneration either
from the town or from the business
men OF the town, but are giving their
own time and money for the support
OF the band. We believe that we but
voice the sentiments OF every business
hrm in town, as we'll as practically
every individual, when we express
our hearty approval of the good
work that is being done by the band,
and especially by their leader, Mr..
Hall, who is devoting much of his time
and energy to the training of the bows.

The Work Day." a call for which
is issued by the Baptist Orphanage
authorities, for Oct. 7, is an appeal
that ought to 60 to the heart Of every
one throughout the state, as the cause
is a most worthy one. The work of
the orphanage is purely benevolent
for the orphan boys and girls of the
state, regardless of religious beliefs
or affiliations their parents may have
held. The Orphanage at Lake Charles
is caring for from ninety to an hun
sdred otherwise homeless waits, and
making of them self respecting and
self supporting citizens, instead of
permitting them to grow up in ignor-
ance and vice, alike menace and ex-
penses to the state.

LaNIeSSmeSS In England and AM
erica tGmDtfed

The following comparison of the Law
enforcement and its attending results
published in the Atlanta Constitution
is well worthy the most careful C0nSid
Grafton Of every American citizen.
Ia memorable sermon delivered a
the Park Street Methodist church, Rev
Dr.. J. W. Lee gave his congregation
the benefit Of his observations during
an eight weeks European tour, from
which he has just returned, with espe
eiaI reference to the contrast IN the
observance OF law in this country and
Great Britain.
DR.. lee asks the question: "What's
wrong with the American union?'
| And answers, "Lawlessness"
He left England, on the return voy-
age, on August 10th. Buying all the
London daiIies of that date, he read
them scrupulously with the idea of
summarizing the crime record for the
day preceding,
His investigation showed there was
less lawIeSsness for all England on
that one day reported in these newspa-
pers than one American state.
The fundamental cause for this I'm.
speakable difference between the two
countries Is readily explained by DR..
Lee.
''Ihe only way to keep out Of jail
in Great Britain" he says "is to
observe the lawN
Even more Illuminating is his com
ment that mo pNll, no influence, no
title, no money, absolutely nothing
can keep u person from feeling the
strong arm " lhe law, II he Steps out |
side tha sale ana secure p0adWays Of |
activity WaDptd 0ut by H. "
what u tragic contrast Is that on:
sfeu ~ Autefita Hers, pun, ihlH: |
shee, money ana teghNualltles often
tohsDirp to make nutt ahd void The
5hds Of Justice II Is as though there
we're one law for the poor, another for
lie rich
Combined With these causes is a
sentmentality that hesitates
. hang rnurderers, compliance with
such menaces as the pistol toter,
pleading IT CUhstitutionalitv" by
he legal kildees as a stumbling block
II the way Of judicial reform.
In the one vital fundamental of law
regardless of station,
wealth or sentiment, the British have,
ct an example Of inexorability
md promptitude that indicts the
Effectiveness of our own institutions.

Room for More
Stock to Craze
on Forest Ranges.
Secretary Wilson Authorizes Placing
of Seven Hundred Thousand Head
More Than Last Year.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-The amount of
stock which will be authorized to Craze
on the national forests during the season
of 1910. in accordance with the decision OF
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson, shows an
increase in the total number, as compared
with last year of approximately 100000 cat
tie and horses and 100000 sheep and goats.
The total allowance for the coming grazing
season is $4,000 cattle and horses and
1928, 900 sheep and goats.
The most important increases are In
Nevada, Colorado, Montana, Utah and
Washington. Except in Nevada, where
/ 100000 acres have been added to the ma
tional forest area through the creation of
the Nevada forest, the increases are at
tribued to improved range conditions due
to regulated grazing.
The secretary is solicitous to secure the
greatest possible utilization of the range
resources of the national forests in order
that the forests might contribute as far
as consistent with protection with the
forest growth to the market supply of
beef and mutton.

ANSWER TO THE PUBLISHERS
Statement by Periodical Makers Re.
garding Postal Affairs Misleading. -
MIsSTATE DEPARTMENT METHODS
Wilder's Argument before the Postal
Committee is Based on Number
of Erroneous Assump-
tiOnH.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-The Periodical
Publishers Association Of America, re-
Gently appeared, by its representative, G.
w. Wilder, before the committee on the
postoffice and postroads Of the house of
representatives and submitted a printed
pamphlet entitled, AN Argument on Sec
ond-Class Postal Rates from the Business
Standpoint Alone" The evident purpose
of the pamphlet is to dscredit the esti-
mate made by the Postoffice department.
as TO the cost of transporting and hand
ling second-class mail matter. A careful
analysis of the contentioRs made shows
them to be erroneous or misleading. Every
material premise on which the argument
is based proves to be faulty, and conse-
quently every important conclusion reached
is fallacious.
"The pamphlet not only discloses a sur
prising ignorance of the postal service, but
what is still more unfortunate, 1t shows
the lack Of essential information readily
obtainable. So far as the assertions made
in the pamphlet have been given credence
the people have been misled, and the
Periodical. Publishers association owes It
to the department, to the public and to
itself to make proper correction.
Departments Methods Misstated.
"In the course of his argument the rep
resentatve Of the association asserts that
In arriving at the amount of transporta-
ton expenses to be charged against sec
ond-class matter the department used the
figures 6S.S1 as the percentage of weight
Of second class matter to the total weight
Of mail carried. This statement is abso-
lutely untrue, The apportionment of trans
portation charges to second-class matter
was made on the basis OF $3.50 per cent,
which was computed from the amount
Of mail and equipment actually hauled and
the length of the hauls.
THE associations representative makes
mistake also in assuming that the en-
tire amount Of second-class mail is hauled
on railroads, which is not the fact.
Length of Haul Factor.
HE also persistently refuses TO recog.
nize the obvious effect OF length of haul.
which is the principal element,ln deter
mining the average cost OF Transporting a
pound Of mail Possibly the reason for this
is found in the fact that the average haul
OF magazines has been shown to be 1,O4s
