The SYSTEM We Should Abolish.

Governor Jared 7. Sanders re-
turned Saturday from Washington
after An absence OF fully u month";
and the wheels OF government, when
came to full stop when he crossed
the state line, will now begin 10 re-
vo,vo a.ain. Tho state railroad com
mission will be able now 10 selecs
sacretary. the state commission OF
agriculture will now be in shape ~
repIace Secretary J. L. knoepher'
and divers and sundrv positions o'
clerical nature, under the various
boards and commissions, can no" 10
filed without danger OF giving onense
TO the chief executive.
This is the system that the voters OF
T,ouisiana should pledge the incoming
legislature to abolish, Until 1t Is
abolished the legislature will unite
with tho various boards and commits
s;ons To make a smooth running ma
chine by which the governor may pass
such laws as he pleases, and enforce
them as he likes, without a scintllla OF
control by the people or ANYBODY else
The state railroad commission is
elected by the people OF the state. 1t
is in no sense u Yassal or dependency
OF the governors. Why should it
wait mesklv until he returns home to
select an officer for whose actions it is
directly responsible? The commits
sioner OF agriculture also owes his
position to the voters OF Louisiana.
Why should the business Of his office
be interrupted and brought to stand
still until the governor can be con-
suited with, in regard to the selection
of a clerical assistant?
Governor Sanders is not to blame
for the system. 1t is no more objec
tionable for him to WELD this power
than it was for Governor Blanchard
Governor Heard aud other governor:
to wield it, and we do not say that ut
does not exercise it as wisely as an.
of his predecessors. But it is part o
the machinery that makes the govern
or an absolute monarch in louisiana
po)itical affairs. 1t classes the citi
zeps of Louisiana as either too 1gnor
ant or too weak to exercise the RICH
of self government. If the truth wa
known, it is probably to the fact tina
Louisiana is absolutely governed b.
one man, who makes and unmake
laws as he chooses and handles eyer,
state board and its finances as though
its members were his clerks, that w
owe the loss of the Panama exposi
ton, more than to the persuasivenes
of the Pacific coast boomers, or tn
political exigencles Of the administra
ton. A state that can be dominated
10 any such manner, cannot look TO
respect from its sister states.-Lak

Relative to the parish divisio n case
which came before Judge Brunot's
court for adjudication this week, SEN
ator Odom makes the following state
ment. "We base our case broadly on
the proposition that the state, through
its General Assembly, has got to create
the parish, that it did in this instance
create the three parishes, and that par
ish creating cannot be done by a vote
of the people of the parish affected.
On that proposition the case will go
to the Supreme Court, no matter who
wins"
This proposition that the people Of
the parish affected, should have no
voice in the matter of whether they
shall be set of in little jerkwater
parish, and have their property de-
preciated in value and many of them
greatly Inconvenience, is specie Of
tyranny and usurpatiOn of the rights
of the people, well in keeping with the
tactics of the parish divisionists, from
the beginning. 1t is pretty much of
the same cloth as the statement made
by eminent divisionists, when they
said Damn Welsh" and "To He'll
with Kinder We can get along with
out them. 1t is On par with the ar
guments of every tyrant from the
days Of the Pharaohs to our modern

are concerned, is' "The people be

are trying to use up the will of the
people, upon mere technicallity. And

Farmers Nearly Through Flowing
Will Begin seeding In short TINE
II Weathua Continues Favorable

The unprecedented open winter has
enabled the planters OF this section OF
the Rice Belt to get we'll along with
their work. MANY OF them are entire
ly through blowing, although there
are few who still have o little more
to pillow. Several are getting pretty
we'll along with their discing, while a
few are ready to begin seeding as soon
as fear of frosts shall make its adYis-
able.
The weather has been warm for so
long, that lawns and blankets are as
green as it is possible for them to be,
while the grass In the pastures is sutii-
GENTLY developed to furnish the stock
running on them good living with
out going to the straw stacks as they
usually have to do at this time OF the
year.
Much concern is felt for the fruit,
which is in full bloom in many instan-
ces, while it is all coming out in leaf
and would be seriously injured or dis
troyed in case there should come a
freeze.
If the present warm weather should
not be followed by q heavy frost OF
freezing weather. this promises to be
one of the earliest springs ever ex.
perienced in this section of the state.
S. p. Depot Grounds Being Beautifled
It is with much pleasure that we
note the improvements that are being
made on the depot grounds. The
Southern Pacific Company, through
their local agent, j. f. Tubbs and the
Section Boss. Mr.. Thackston, are
grading uD the grounds around the
depot and pumping station, and setting
out large number OF Arbor Vitae
trees as well Us putting out several
lines OF ornamental hedges and setting
out a number of beds of violets. If
the grounds are cared for in the future
as we'll as they are being during the
planting time it will only be a matter
of short time when the grounds Of
the Welsh station will he among the
handsomest along the entire route.

mended for the neatness and good or.

FOR THE GOOD ROADS CAUSE
Present Day Difficulties Of Traveller.

Present Day Difficulties Of Travellers
Shown In Pictures. z
One of the most interesting methods
for advancing the cause of good roads
throughout the south Is being under.
taken by the Southern Railway com
pany, working in conjunction with the
United States Office of public roads.
The company has started a special
road improvement train" provided
with lantern slides and stereopticon
and screen. This train is touring the
south, stopping at all the large cities
and most OF the small ones
The stereopticon equipment is for
the purpose of showing all the ad-
vantages Of good roads and the dis.
advantages of bad ones. Pictures
showing doctors caught in the ruts OF
bad roads while on their way to pa
tfents, undertakers' wagons delayed
on the way to the cemeteries, auto
mobilists thrown on the road by d
bowlder in bad road and two loads
of cotton, one from bad road terri
tory and the other from good road
territory, the difference in weight
showing the profits and losses that
come from good and bad roads, are
being shown.
1t is hoped by the hackers of the
present movement that the road i'm
provement train will stimulate the in
terest of the south, bring about the
enactment Of uniform laws and uni
form methods in the handling of the
Improvement and maintenance OF
roads and give the whole south an
opportunity to realize the full economic
value Of a complete system of i'm
proved highways.

1t might be truthfully said that the

culine faces turned toward her trlangu-
lar admiration, since it emanated from
three given points, and took from 1t
modest pinch for her vanity. Vain she
never was; still, she was not without a
share OF vanity. that vanity of the art
less, needing no sacrifices, which is graft
fled and appeased by a smile. 1t pleased
her to know that she was lovely, and it
doubled her pleasure to realize that her
loyeliress pleased others. She demanded

selves, who can hold pleasant communion
with the inner self. who can. find ro-
nance in old houses, and yet love books,
who prefer sunrises and sunsets at first
hand, still loving good painting.
Perhaps this trend Nof character was
the result of her inherited love of the
open. With almost unlimited funds un-
der her own hand, she lived simply. She
was never happy in smart society, though
II was always making demands upon her.
When abroad, she was generally prowling
through queer little shops, instead of
mingling with the dress parades on the
grand huteI terraces. There was no great
battlefield in Europe she had not trod
upon. She knew them so well that she

Baron d'Estournelles de Constant, one
of the most distinguished members of the
French senate, is soon to visit Washing

most European advocate of the policy
of international good will, was the orig

throughout Europe of informal and
neighborly visits by groups of lawmakers
from one country to another. The Eng

an address upon the relations between
France and Germany before the members
of the Reichstag which excited wide
comment. He has represented France at
The Hague conferences of 1889 and 1907.
and received Nobel peace prize in 1909.
The baron is also an authority on avia

He is due to arrive in New York on
March L, and after conferences with Mr..
Carnegie and the trustees Of the Carne-
