! Progressive Union In Every Town
Of the State.

In view of the fact that we are
pretty certain to have the great
Panama Exposition in New Or
leans in 1915, and that the Legis-
lature when it convenes next
month will find it feasible to levy
small tax on property for the
purpose, it would not be an un-
wise move if the leading citizens
of every town in the State were
bestiring themselves in the for
nation of Progressive Union on
similar lines as the one in New
Orleans. which is doing so much
good for the Metropolis in every
way.
The great exposition will bring
into our State many thousands of
people-many men of wealth, who
will be looking around for OPP
portunities of profitable or adj
vantageous Investments, as the
South and this portion of it is
about the only section which now
offers a very inviting field. These
prospectors will look into many
things while in our State-they
will consider the desirability of
soil, health, educational, indus
trial and other conditions of that
sort, but mainly they will want
to know what about our trans
portation facilities, freight rates,
rail and water communications
with the rest of the Union. We
have often heard it said, whether
truthfully or not, that the cost of
travel or freight transportation,
either by rail or water. was
cheaper in other parts of the
Union than they are in the South.
As to the railroad travelling, we
have q law in Louisiana which
fixes a maximum of three cents
per mile. AS to freight rates, it
is often asserted by parties claim
ing to know, that cheaper rates
prevail in Northern and Eastern
States than they do here. In our
mind, looking forward to the
rapid development of every sec.
ton of the South, and our own in
particular, these are very essen
tial matters and constitute the
main subjects to be investigated
and looked into by the business
classes Of every community, and
local Progressive Uuion in each
town, regularly chartered and
organized, would be the proper
authority to do the work. We do
not say that the railroads or any
other transportation concern in
the South is treating the people
unfairly in this matter. We be-
lieve in giving them all possible
inducement and latitude, and we
do not doubt that they would be
the first to vie in anything calcu-
lated to help further development,
as they are obviously the first
beneficiaries; but if they are far
ahead of other systems in their
passenger rates they ought to be
made to explain why they have
to charge more, and if the law of
three cents a mile is too high the
Legislature ought to reenact the
law and reduce this maximum.
If railroads or steamboats,
charge more for delivering freight
in the South than they are able
10 do elsewhere, they ought to be
requested to show what impels
them to do this. This and Incl
dentally many other things would
come within the scope of a Pro-
gressive Union in every large
town of the State and much good |
would doubtless flow from their
labors in advancing the interests
IF the State.

CAPT. SANDERS
IS UNDER ARREST
Must Face Criminal Prosecution
Following Failure of Civil
Suit Against Him.

There is no rest for the wicked
or even the near or alleged wicked.
Captain Sanders of the schooner
David Evans, now at her mornings in
Pearl Harbor, was arrested yesterday
by the local police on a warrant issued
at the request of Allaim Fasquoin. And
just short twelve hours before that
the federal court dismissed the libel of
the last named to collect damages for
an assault committed upon him. If
Captain Sanders whistled on that oc-
casion, he is probably now aware of
the truth of the old adage referring to
exits from woods in general.
Failing to secure judgment in Uncle
Sans police court, Attorney George
Davis, proctor for Pasquoin in that
action, at once saw that criminal pro
ceedings were instituted and the ship
master will be arraigned before Judge
Andrade tomorrow in the police court.
Davis claims that Pasquoin S head
had been so badly damaged by the
a pair of heavy handouts that the
He has subpoenaed Doctor Ramus of
the utSpltdi S1NltC anu boClpi
Raymond, both of whom are acquainted
with the injuries Pasquoin received on
that occasion and whom Davis claims
were kept out from the other trial.
There is one very amusing incident
connected with the passing of ludg-
ment on the case in admiralty before
Judge Robertson in the United States
District Court. United States Marshal
Z, r. Hendry plays the part of chief
comedian. There is an attachment
against the David Evans brought pend
ing suit for damages and upon the
release of Sanders from obligation by
the court. Hendry mstook the ease out
of which the attachment had proceeded.
Consequently he telephoned down and
had the attachment removed from the
schooner. only to find out afterwards
that the attachment did not figure in
this case at all. There was very
hastv auto flight down to Pearl Har-
Dor the results of which placed the
schooner again in the hands of the
marshal.
Life has been series Of misfortunes
for Captain Sanders ever since the
shores of Hawaii were sighted from the
mast head of the David Evans. Be
sides the several attachment suits, and
the suit for damages, his wife has now
sued him for divorce in a Coast court

local police about week ago. Cap

A FOOLISH OLD IDEA.

It was once thought that a

Everybody knows what a vile

most people declare they would
rather suffer from disease than
take plain cod liver oil, and the

what may be alleged to the con
trary. Now it is one of natdre's
