Louisiana and the Tariff.


The Louisiana legislature. charged with
ator to succeed the late Mr.. McEnery.
has invited the candidates for the office
to appear before 1t Monday and give
their views on the public issues Of most
interest to that STATE. An excellent idea.
There is not time enough lor a popular
canvass, but this should prove a work
able substitute. The next days newspa-
pers will carry the speeches to the peo-
pie, and such as care TO express them
selves as to the right man can communi-
cate with their senators and representa-
tives.
Among the issues named for discussion
is the tariff. In Louisiana the tariff
spells sugar. In no other state is Gen.
Hancock's famous declaration quite so
thoroughly ratified The tariff In the
Pelican state Is most emphatically a local
question. Whichever party is in national
power Is asked to protect sugar. and the
record shows that both parties have ia
vorably responded. The republican party.
Of course, has done so. Since sugar as
an American industry has as much claim
to consideration as any other industry.
And the democratic pa. ty has responded,
both by reason Of the political complexion
Of Louisiana and the fact that sugar Is
a prime revenue-p. oducing article. Amer
lea has a sweet tooth, and must have
sugar.
The late Mr.. McEnery was a democrat,
but with most decided courage and con-
victions on sugar. He wanted the great
industry of his constituents protected, and
was willing that the industries Of other
states should be protected. He both spoke
and voted in accordance with his opinion.
He voted for the Payne law. When the
makers of that measure recognized the
claims Of sugar he joined them in recog-
MIXING the claims Of the industries Of the
north. the east and the west. He was
subjected to much criticism-some Of 1t
harsh-but 1t did not shake him. Neither
did 1t affect him unfavorably at home.
He remained to the end the most popular
man In the state.
= Win his successor be q man Of like
opinion? OF course he will be a demo-
crat. But win he be an outspoken friend
Of protection. both as respects sugar and
other industries? viii he do unto others
- he asks them to do unto him? WIN
he cast his lot in tariff making. as Mr..
McEnery did. with those applying protec-
ton to deserving things, whether pro-
duced In Louisiana or Massachusetts.
New York or California?
At this time. when speculation Is lively
a to what the democrats will do with the
tariff, and particularly as to the south's
attitude on the subject. this Louisiana
expression will be most Interesting.

Going Oregon One Better.
ON the New York Times

From the New York Times.
The Oregon plan" embodies the initia-
tive, referendum and the recall Of public
officers. It spares the judiciary-Oregon' s
judges are not subject to dismissal In
tion-paakers of Arizona have swallowed
the Oregon plan whole, adding to their
mouthful provision for the recall of the
Judiciary.
Only demagogues would consent to be
judges under such constitution. But
Congress and President Taft, who has
had broad judicial training. will refuse
to sanction 1t. Arizona will never achieve
statehood In this fashion.

Southern Progress.
From the Raleigh News and Observer.

In old times men crowded to see the
prizes presented at Olympian games.
Later in the south at this season the bis
sport was to see the knight at the tour
nament crown the queen of love and
beauty. Today the youth who raises the
most corn to the acre Is the hero of his
county. and prizes are awarded to him
with all the honors Of the winner in the
Grecian games. We are becoming wiser
and more practical.

q song;
But whate'er it may be, it won't last

One day 1t is laughter, the next It's a

Will blossom again when the winter Is

New Postal Regulation.

The post office department has made
a rule that letters bearing the name
and address of the sender on the en-
velope shall be returned to the writer
after five days. if the person addressed
cannot be found. The only exception
is in Offices of the fourth class, in
which letters will be held fifteen days.
Under the old ruling a letter had to
be held thirty days.
The new ruling will prevent the ac-
cumulation of mail matter at post
Offices, and will also show the people
the value of having return motel on
the mail. The address of the sender
on card or envelope helps the postal
department, and also insures prompt
return in case of non-delIvery. The
writer's name and address should be
on every letter. In five days the letter
will be returned if not delivered or
called for.

A Roman mirror found in an ancient
burial ground in Austria, and believed
to date from the I'd or Sd century A.
D., is slightly convex glass plate
fitted into an indented leaden ring
about sixth of an inch in thickness
and 8 inches in greatest diameter.
From chemical and microscopical in
vestigation, two German chemists
have concluded that the mirror was
made by attaching lead foil to the thin
glass by some balsam that has changed
to resin and combined with the lead to
form a resinate. Much of the lead of
the frame had been converted into red
oxide or basic carbonate.
