EXTRAVAGANCE AND DEBT.

No people on earth have been
blessed with more abundance o.
all things making for the comfort
and pleasure of nation than the
American people, and this tact;
known to every other nationality, |
has been the means Of inducing !
many to leave their native shores
to take up their abode with us.
The fact that there has always
been enough and to spare has per
haps made the American people
the most extravagant of any ma
ton in the world, and even though
the time $ are hard and the cost OF
living b Ugh there does not appear
10 be any tendency to change the
mode of living to which we have
been heretofore accustomed.
The recent numerous inVest1-
cations by Congress into the
trusts. which are supposed to be
the cause of the increased cost OF
living. seems to have little or so
effect in changing the order OF
things. In many instances salaries
have not been raised to meet the
growing expenses Of present-day
! living. and vet how few have
adopted themselves to the cond!-
ton which confronts them. MosC
Americans are still spending with
a lavish hand and the practice OF
| self-denial is a forgotten virtue.
It is difficult to see where the
mode of peoples living has
changed compared with the time
when all commodities were cheap
| er.
The man to-day who forges
ahead financially is he who grace
fully accepts the situation as 1t
is and cuts his cloth accordingly.
Extravagances Of all kinds are
forsakell and he learns the valu-
able lesson of self-denial. 1t IS
| wonderful with how little a man
can do when he determines to
| learn how to save. 1t takes he
roio effort in some cases to do
! without those things to which we
have been accustomed all our lives
and which are now forbidden on
account Of changed conditions,
| and the man is fortunate II pos
sessed of the same spirit as was
the distinguished prelate, who,
looking at a great variety or
things in show window, thanked
God there was so many things he
could do without. Reformers
! looking around fer work to do
might take up the question OF ex-
travagance and endeavor to edu-
cate people az anst the tendency
to wander beyond proper f1nan-
| cial bounds.
Never before has there been q
time when people should guard
! themselves against debt as in these
days Uf high cost Of living. The
debt cruise is growing, due to IN
watchfulness and the desire to
keep up appearances. Rather eat
he plainest food and wear clothes
until they become as smooth as a
billiard ball than be caught Iii the
whirlpool which has proven the
undoing of so many men--Plca-
yune.

ROOSEVELT.

We to-day reproduce the sub
Joined article on Theodore Roos-
evelt, written by leading citizen
Of New Iberia after the death o.
President Mckinley which called
Mr. Roosevelt to the presidency.
The article appeared in the %
server" under date OF OCTOBER
18th, 1901: .
"The change in the personnel OF
the head of the administration IS
too sudden to make an accurate
estimate of the effect and lnf1u-
ence on the domestic affairs OF
the United States. The former
lamented incumbent represented
imperturbable calmness amount
inc almost to stoicism; the latter
the incarnation of impetuoslty,
recklessness and abnormal physl-
cal activity. The two are the very
antipodes in character and sentl-
ment. Diplomacy, craftsmanship
craft, political card shutting be-
long more to the calm. piercing
brain development than to physl-
cal struggles, prowess and endur-
ance. One is evidence OF keen
perception and a triumph and
achievement of mind. while the
other favors of the circus atmos-
phere of the professional gladla-
tor. Our present irrepressable
chief when he puts on the heavy
yoke of Presidential responsible
ity and worries may surprise his
most ardent admirers and intl-
mate friends. The repressive
touch and SOLDERING, steadylng
impression Of grave national and
diplomatic subjects will alter and
adjust department and action. We
trust it will curb and modify the
impuls:veness of the new EXecu-
tive and that he will adopt stud
led tactfulness and personal SELF
restraint in all his public rela-
tions. He has the advantage OF
health, youth and education and
the training he will have to TN
dergo to make Noted Presidents
will only develop latent qualities
overwhelmed and submerged in
exaggerated physical exercises.
The people of the United States
look to no pugilist or crack shot
to protect and defend the exalted
office of Chief Executive; they
expect immunity from harm and
danger from the preaching of the
gospel Of free government, free
speech and free conscience. They
long for a President in love with
his people and mindful of their in
terests and one willing ito sacri-
flee his talents, wisdom and energy
to- the cause Of his subjects and
the development of his country.
Roosevelt UP to now has shown
tinge Of the circus element in
his make up. The ftful bombast
revealed occasionally is the echo
Of the roar of a hidden tempest
uous mature. We trust and Gag
erly await the news Of an early

Austin y. Fletcher, California State
Highway Engineer, Tells What He
Considers the Necessary Features Of

According to Austin II. Fletcher,
state highway engineer of California,
the essentials of modern rural high
way are as follows:
A reimbursement of the road locations
or rights of way so as to secure proper
alignment and to obviate the necessity
for travelling around so many section
corners.
The elimination of all crossings of
highways at grade with steam and
electric railroads.
Rights of way of uniform width,
preferably not less than sixty feet.
Maximum gradients in the mountain
GUS country of Z per cent and mini
mum radii on the center lines of such
roads of fifty feet, with all curves open
ed out as much as possible by fatten-
ing slopes and removing brush and
such trees as interfere with the view.
A clear sight of at least $50 feet should
be secured wherever it is practicable.

verts, cutters and bitches wherever
lutl are netutu W prev tht wafer livh

at least twentyfour feet wide in the

carry sixteen ton traction engines with
a reasonable factor of safety.
A minimum width of roadway Of six
