Sees Trouble in Good Roads Tax.
ISt. Francisville True Democrat.

We so heartily favor the improvement of
the roads and the road system in general
use in Louisiana that we are ready to ac-
cept almost any plan that promises practi-
cal results. Hence we dislike to endorse
in its entirety the Mer Rouge Democrats
views, republished in another column OF
this paper, relative to the proposed good
roads tax amendment, and yet We strongly
suspect that the Democrat is right, and
that the amendment, as worded, and when
enforced, if passed, will, under the present
regime, prove tax and nothing more.
It will be dispensed by the Board of En-
gineers, board already costing the State
S92, 900 a year, and there will probably be
many expenses which will make the amount
coming to the people relatively small.
There is, moreover, no certain time when
any parish can avail itself of the fund, but
must wait it's turn, and it will be inferred
how much power of discretion this gives
the board and how discrimination can be
used against parishes.
The convict labor as tried has been found
expensive, and since there is no reason
why parishes in position to put in good
roads should not 60 on as they are doing
now, trying the convict labor, and working
OUT Tie pfOUIotu dS ~ Sullo loodl CoIui.AOllo'
It would do no harm to continue thus for
the next two years, giving convict labor a
thorough trial, before embodying meas
ure in the State Constitution which may
prove burden to the people.
The plan of getting a dollar from the
State for every dollar raised by the indi-
vidual parish is attractive, but will be less
so when the people perceive that the funds
pass entirely out of the hands of their pa
rochial body and are disbured by the Board
of Control, as seems good to it. In one
parish the board insisted on hiring GER
tain physician for the convicts instead OF
the coroner, whom the parish wanted. And
the Police Jury had to pay the bill.
So it will prove, we fear, that the roads
tax will accomplish nothing but greater
burdens with no counterbalincing good.

DIVINE SARAH IS COMING ACROSS
AGAIN TO DRAW Us AND OUR Coin

The greatest actress in tho
world, one of its most fascinating
personalities, will begin 35
weeks tour of America at Chicago,
October 81. >
VIM. F. Conner, Nine. Sarah
Bernhardt's manager, says it's a
farewell tour. But it's her seventh
visit to America, and nobody be-
lieves Sarah will quit coming I'M
til she has no more breath to
gasp in her nightly dying act.
For Sarah is eternally young.
The same optimism and strength
of mind which throughout her
long career has drawn to her ev-
erything she desired, audiences,
money, luxury, honor. friends and
fame, and which compels the
members of her company literally
to stoop and kiss the hem of her
garment, refuses to grow decrepit.
1T Is because I live," she says.
ut is because I never worry. 1t
Is because for me the past does
not exist"
The visit of Bernhard, it Is ex-
pected, will start a movement for
a national conservatory, like that
of France, which young girls enter
at the age of ID or Is to be train
ed for the stage. Since her last
visit here, Bernhard has advocat-
ed such school for America. She
says many promising American
girls fail as actresses because they
do not begin .training early
enough, or because they break or
wear their voices by the improper
training of the theater.
Bernhardt will appear in these
plays, all in the French language

WRIGHT BROTHERS have new WAY or
MEASURING AlTITUDE OF AER0p sNES
(Staff Correspondence

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, June 25.
THE Wright brothers have a
novel and Ingenious method of
determining the altitude of a
Wright biplane. The instrument
is as simple as 1t is ingenious,
consisting of little bit of tin
with little projecting spikes or
prongs and common yardstick,
such as department stores give
away as advertisements. The tin
is bent about the yardstick SO that
1t slips easily from end to end.
The photograph shows Wilbur
Wright using this instrument in
measuring the altitude of the
aeroplane driven by Walter s.
Brookins In his record breaking
flight at the big aviation meet In
fhis city. AS the machine was
climbing toward the 1000 feet
line when the measurement was
taken, two yardsticks, end to end,
were required to get the dis
lance. Orville Wright is seen in
the picture at the right.
This device Is exclusively a
Wright instrument. The calcula-
tions by which the altitude is de-
termIned are based on the precise
spread of the wings of Wright,
biplane. The little piece of tin
bearing the prongs is slid along
the stick till. to the eye sighting

EQUAL OPPORTUNITY
 FOR ALL.


 A little year ago there. Mere few men in the. United States more popular than Clifford Pin chot, the head of the forest bur can in the. Agricultural Depart ment. His name was a synonym for about every thing that was good in citizenship and wise in manhood. The popular verdict in favor of the chief forester was nearly unanimous. Now as the year closes he has many friends but his fellow countrymen are sharply divided in their present estimate of his wisdom. at least MT. Pinchot may have carefully counted the cost and his course may possibly be patriotic and right from the standpoint of his own conscience. There will pro- bably be a few of us who will even yet question the uprigtness of his purposes CT the goodness of his intentions.
 To speak exact truth, as during recent weeks the chief forestei has gone step farther after an- o+l,a,. in his contention. he. has constantly approached the divid liHe that separates the conscient- ious, unaffected patroit from the denagogue.. His most recent ut terances in New York City, made during the present week, if not te.be characterized as demagogl- cal, certainly come too close to the mark. This speech is up as loud clamor for "equal opportun- ity to alk " 1t is just as loud as it's broad, unqualified denuncia. tion of multitudes of unameo persons by insinuation alleged to have robbed the public domain for years past. That is pure de mogagy. It is the rant of the bewhiskered, sockless Popuhst.
