The Louisiana Society of the
Sons of the American Revolution
desires to hear from Louisianians
who are eligible for membership
or who are able to trace their
family genealogy to an ancestor
who took part as soldier, seaman
or as civil officer during the Re-
volutionary War or who in any
way aided in establishing this
great Republic which has become
a sheltering haven for the OPP
pressed and liberty loving people
from all the civilized countries of
the world. The passing of the
present generation will carry away
with it valuable information re-
garding our ancestors: facts
known to those now living and
facts that would be required be-
fore the children or grandchildren
of the present generation could
gain admission in such society.

American to become enrolled with
the thousands in the National

Income Tax Assured.

Gov. Wilson said in an address
not long ago that measures, and
not men, were to be the dominat-
ing factors in American politics
for some time to come. There
have been numerous illustrations
of late of the truth of the pro.
nouncement. The latest comes
from the New York legislature,
which, after long period of log
rolling, has finally ratified the
proposed amendment to the con-
stitution providing for an income
tax.
1t required hard work to accom-
plish this. The tax upon incomes
will probably be productive of
more revenue in New York than
in any other state in the union.
Hence the forceful opposition ex-
erted against the proffered system
of revenue raising. But the
policy won, Notwithstanding the
men and interests opposing 1t.
It now seems certain that the
amendment to the constitution
will be ratified by the requisite
three. fourth of the states. Thirty
one have recorded themselves in
its favor. But four more are need
ed. Delaware, Florida, Louisiana
and Virginia, all Democratic
states, which have yet to act on
the amendment, are reasonably
certain to be enlisted in it's favor.
Aside from these there are num-
Der of states which have had the
up for consideration and
failed to take decisive action,
either through it having failed to
pass through one branch of the
Legislature or because of adjourn
ment before final action.

The railroads of the country
which were going to ruin prompt
ly if the interstate commerce com.
mission refused to permit them to
raise freight rates didn't go to
smash, after all. Instead, in the
face of the actual freight reduce
tons ruled by the commission,
they are displaying a gratifying
degree of vitality. Big orders for
rails and other steel products are
pouring in to the manufacturers
from all parts of the country, in.
dicating that the roads are pre-
pairing for improvements, and
that they see prosperity ahead.
If the steel business be a good
business barometer, and it is so
considered generally, then a sea-
son OF good business is ahead, the
calamity howlers against tariff re-
duction to the contrary. Tariff
reduction. is exactly what is need
ed to unshackle industry and
open wide the door for genuine
and long continued prosperity.

The people of Lafayette Friday
night held a meeting which was
attended by most of the leading
men of the city and unanimously
passed resolutions endorsing the
appointment of Prof. V. L. Roy to
the presidency of the State Nor
NAL College. This was their
answer to the objections made 20
his appointmeAt by a few silly,
ignorant or vi. blently prejudiced
individuals and newspapers, be-
cause many ydars ago he taught
in a negro college supported by
the State of: Louisiana. It is
pleasant to note that the attempt
to arouse prejudice against Mr..
Roy on that score has fallen com.
pletely fiat. The great mai
of the newspapers of the State
have strongly condemned the
raising of such an issue, ridicule
the monstrous doctrine that white
men lose caste when they lend
the inferior race all the aid they
can to lift themselves from ignor-
ance and barbarous ways into
position of usefulness and self
help.-Lake Charles American.

The Colfax Chronicle says
anent the resignation Of G. w.

count of the recent appointment
of Prof. V. L. Roy as president
of the State Normal School at
Natchitoches: There are two ex-
tremes that the people of the
South have had to contend with
since the close of the war between
the States, the extremes among
"Negropholists," the negro lovers
and the negro haters. Each ex-
cites pity and contempt in their

brought to the attention of right
thinking people. but the unreason-
