THE PARCEL POST PROPOSE
TON,

The first annual report Of the
Interstate Commerce Commission
on Statistics of Express Com.
panies in the United States, .
shows that base express rates for
distances under fifteen hundred
miles are six dollars or less per
hundred pounds; also that sixty
five per cent. of the mileage ope-
rated by express companies lies
east of the Missouri River. says
Bannister Merwin. Does that look
as if the Government would lose
money on parcel post carrying
all packages under eleven pounds
at rate of eight cents a pound :?
The express companies wax fat on
less. l could add estimates for
other shipments which the Gov
eminent might reasonably be ex-
pected to handle with an extended
parcel post. But after all these es-
Inmates are only estimates.
The main facts are: That an
extended parcel post means ex-
tended postal business. That we
already have the organization
and machinery to handle an ex-
tended parcel post with merely
such additions Of men and equip
ment as are justified by the vol.
ume Of traffic.
Isn't that enough? Does the
parcel post proposition look so
dangerous after all?

A BIG LAND RECLAMATION
DEAL.

In these days of extensive pro
iects for the bringing large areas
of new land into cultivation IN the
sugar parishes of the State, almost
nothing seems too big to under
take. particularly SO in those case,
where marsh lands may be brought
in without further expense than
that involved in the pelfecting of
drainage facilities, what with no
woods to clear Their from. The
latest move of this kind. as pre-
senting opportunity for the add
ton Of large tract Of cane land
TO the sugar resources OF st. Mary
parish. is the recent formation by
the Pharrs Of what is known as
the Morgan City Land Company.
which concern has taken over the
low lands on the j. \. Pharr 4
Sons Bateman Island and adjoin-
ing Avoca plantation. near Morgan
City.
In referring to this work, which
is already begun. a recent late
Morgan City advice conveys this
intelligence: Zone Of the larg-
est reclamation projects In Louisi-
ana is now actively under way.
The Bowers Southern Dredging
Co., of Galveston commenced
dredging on Avoca Island for the
Morgan City Land Co.. a purely
local enterprise officered by Eu-
gene A. Pharr as president; II. B.
Hewes, vice-president and Maurice
f. Norman, secretary and treas
urer. There are several other
local stockholders. The company
is capitalized at 100000. all paid
in. and it owns outright the wet
land of Avoca and Bateman Is
land. a total of 1900 acres.
which have been pronounced by
authorities as among the best
lands of this character in Louisi-
ana. as we'll as the easiest to re
claim. A regular drainage dis
trict has been formed under the
new drainage act bf Louisiana
and the bond issue will be an
nounced shortly.
1.-The island of Avoca will be
the first to be reclaimed. when the
Bowers Southern Dredging Co,
will augment the dredging force
four modern dredges and the
work pushed to early completion.
A mechanical engineer has looked
over the grounds preparatory to
the installation Of a modern pump
ing plant. and in all probability
some of the reclaimed lands will
be ready for cultivation before the
end of the present year. When
this is completed and sold into
small tracts it will fill a long
feet want in this section, the To-
cality being within two miles of
Morgan City. and as a result this
city will get the full benefit of the
development. The surveying OF
his work was done by Mr.. War

PENSIONS FOR WIDOWS.

The last legislature of Kansa.
passed an act by which widows
with children to support are to be
paid a pension by the state fol
the purpose Of assisting in the ed.
ucation of the children. The OBJ.
ject of the law is to enable poor
widows to keep their children, un-
der ii years old, in school. The
law provides that the widow may
be paid not to exceed $40 a month
for one child to enable that child
to attend school; if she has more
than one child, not to exceed S. a
month for each additional child.
It all is left to the discretion of the
judge Of the juvenile court.
Judge Porterfield of the ju-
venle court of Jackson county is
the first to put the law into eff
feet. He has had prepared and
printed a list Of questions which
he sends out to each applicant,
After the questions are answered
and returned to him a juvenile
court officer makes an investiga-
ton. The money is not paid the
widow to enable her to live in idle
ness at the home. Judge Porter
field desires it understood. It is
just to "help along" for the good
of the child, SO the child will not
have to quit school to work and
help support the family. It also
is meant to enable the widow to
stay at home to care for her chill
dren and the household and to
keep the children off streets. A
woman who has to "work out"
cannot look after her children,
Judge Porterfield said. A widow
who has children to support and
is able to work shouldn't hesitate
to take in sewing. do family wash
ings or other work at home, Judge
Porterfield says.
1t is such attention to the edu-
cation of children which makes |
the United States the greatest /
country in the world and which
will in a few years bring this
country far in the lead of all the |
rest of the world. Education is
he one thing which gives Superior
l;y and if all the children are ed
lcated we are capable of anything.
K ansas will by this one act make
useful citizens Of many boys and
,irls who would otherwise grow
up in the streets and eventually
irift into the penitentiary and b,
'ome a charge upon the rest of the
,eople, much more costly than the
10 per month given for their ed :
lcation. If we could spend the
money it costs to keep up our jails
nd penitentaries to educating
he children there would be less
leed for prisons and the world |
,ess and hap as a result,

CANAL NEARING COMPILE
TON.

We had the pleasure last Thurs
day Of being driven out TO the
field of operation Of the dredge
boat OF MIR. Thomas, the contrac-
tor. cutting the New Iberia
Southern Drainage canal = the
basin. We found in charge OF
the work his genial assistant. Mr..
NJ. Adams. who has reason to be
congratulated upon the success OF
the work being done and The rap
idity in which they are reaching
the stopping place in the Pascal
field. The canal is now within
seventeen hundred feet Of the
basin. which they antlcipat
reaching about the 1st Of next
month unless unforeseen delays oc-
cur. From our observation the
work on this canal could not be
better. the slope being almost per
feet for forty foot drainage
ditch with little prospect Of filing
in. the cut being so accurate.
Our City Fathers deserve much
credit for finishing this canal TO
the basin five foot deep TO enable
the drainage Of that portion OF
New IBERIA and the surrounding
country through which the bi@
ditch pass as-with so little funds
at their command, We believe
$4,000 and the boat was all the
funds ayailable at the time OF
their inception into office. But,
as we have stated before, when
the tax for the work was voted
il was with the full understand
ing that we were to have navlg-
able canal up to the basin, Sutfi-
Gent to permit luggers to make
their objective point the basin,
and many of our people were con
WINGED that canning factories
would be the consequence when
the work was completed, which
would rebound to the benefit Of
the entire community and IN
which they have been sadly diSap-
> rinted as there will not be foot
of water in the canal when the
dams are cut. any nearer this
City than the Rodriguez property
this side of the F. & A. Railroad.
1t behooves the citizens of New
Iberia with the City Fathers to
get together at an early date and
arrange to recut this canal as 1t
was originally intended so tina;
the people viii profit from the
money expended on this work so
as to utilize it as a commercial, as
well as a drainage canal to the
Gulf. There is nothing impossl-
BILE if only the ways and means
are devised to satisfy the people
that the proposition is a good one,
and had they felt otherwise the
tax would never have been voted
SO unanimously.
An additional small tax could,
we sincerely believe, be voted to
carry. on the work as originally |
intended and it would please a
majority of Iberians to assist in
the movement. Hundreds of Wis
itors daily find their way to the
field Of operation and all express
themselves as willing to further
tax themselves to finish the i'm
provement.

THE BEGINNING OF THE
TRAGEDY.

There are thousands of womer
who work harder than their hus
bands and really have more right
to the money, who are obliged tC
practice all sorts of deceit in OF.
der to get enough to buy cloth
ing and other things essential to
decent living, says Orison SWEET
Marden in Success Magazine"
The difficulty of extracting mon
ey from an unwilling husband has
been the beginning Of thousands
of tragedies. The majority of
husbands are inclined to exert a
censorship over their wives ex-
penditures. l haze heard women
say that they would 60 without
necessary articles Of clothing and
other requirements just as long as
possible and worry for days and
weeks before they could summon
courage to ask for money, because
they dreaded scene and the con-
sequent discord in the home.
Many women make it a rule new
ed to ask for money, except when
the husband is leaving the house
and in hurry to get away. The
disagreeable scene is thus cut as
short as possible, as he has not
time then to go into all the de-
tails of his wife s alleged extrav-
agances and find out what has
become Of every cent of the mon
ey given her on some similar
previous occasion.

THE POLITICAL FIGHT.

Things political are beginning
to take shape in this State for tbs
Offices of Governor and United
States Senator's. Up to this wri
ting four gentlemen have announc-
ed themselves for Gubernatorial
honors. the first being Prof. AS
well, former Superintendent of Ed
ucation. he was seconded by the
standing candidate for everything
in sight, Hon. Jim Bailey, formerly
of ST. Landry, but now resident
of the State Capitol, Baton Rouge,
the next to announce himself was
Judge Luther Il. Hall, of Ouachita
Parish. and Judge-elect to the Su-
preme bench, who will beyond a
doubt get the support of the Good
Government League. headed by
John M. Parker of New Orleans
and last but not least Hon. John
T. Michel, the present Secretary
of State. who has been endorsed
by the Choctaw Club, in fact will
be the administration candidate
for the honors of Governor. All
the candidates are men worthy of
consideration and the voters will
have but little excuse for con
tending that there is dearth oil
candidates to chose from on til
day of election.
For some time it was the con-
census Of opinion that United
State Senator Foster of st. Mary
would be unopposed for the po-
sition he is now holding in the
Senate, but on Thursday morning
the news was flashed over the
wires that Congressman Ransdell
of North Louisiana had announced
himself as his opponent. The con-
test promises to be an interesting
one between the two gentlemen,
the Good Government League be-
ing opposed to Senator Foster
owing to his inclination to support
Michel and the ring has up the
present writing refused to en-
dorse either. The fight between
Congressman Puio and Governor
Sanders promises to be tame
