With the Mississippi floods as
an object lesson it is safe to as
sumo that renewed efforts will be
put forth by all the friends of
waterways for more comprehen-
sive plan of river betterments
than is in vogue at the present
time. The ravages o! the mighty
river with death, disease and de-
ISOLATION as a toll, cannot help but
incite the liveliest possible interest
in the halls of Congress and it is
expected that when the river and
harbor appropriation bill comes
before the Senate for considera-
ton and Illuminating discussion
on how to prevent these awful
floods in the future will undoubt-
edly ensue. If the Mississippi
river had been improved as a
highway of commerce and kept in
constant use it very likely would
not have overrun its banks accord
ing to those who know the peculiar
condition of "The Father OF
Waters" Where floods are in
cidentally one of the results OF
abandoning the river for naviga-
ton and the sooner there is re-
turn to the old order of things the
better it will be for everybody
| concerned, for then will come
higher and better levees and
strengthening of Notifications to
hold this majestic body of water
in check especially during the
| spring freshets.

been truly exemplified when on Thurs
day evening, April 4th, 1912, the Of
ficers and members Of Franklin Lodge
No 81, F. g. A. NJ, consigned all that
was mortal of our late Brother, A. N.
McRea to the grave.
And whereas, Brother McRea was a
firm believer and ever faithful worker
in the cause of our beloved order
Be it resolved, That in the death of
A. N. McRea Missionary loses one
who always stood for the grand and
lofty ideals taught by the great prin-
ciples of our craft. Love for
his brethren, veneration for the Great
Father of the Universe and justice
towards all mankind,
Be it resolved, That our heartfelt
sympathies be extended to his be-
reaved ones.
Be it further resolved, That our
charter be draped in mourning for
thirty days that the brethren wear the
usual badge for the same period, that
page be left blank in our minute
book to his memory, that these resO-
lutions be published and copy be

Since our friends of North Louis
lana have walked off with Govern
or, Lieut. Governor, Attorney
General and State Treasurer, the
most important Offices in the in
coming administration, we are
sure that the Legislature will re-
cognize the fairness of the pro-
position that the presiding officer
of the Lower House should fall to
South Louisiana. OF the seven
members Of the important Board
of Liquidation, North Louisiana
already has four members, two of
whom are located in Shreveport,
while New Orleans has two mem
bers. In view of the fact that the
country people pay largely more
than half the taxes of the State,
democratic equity ought to sug-
gest that the remaining member
of that board be allotted to some
unrepresented country section of
South Louisiana, There is not
now a single member of the Board
of Liquidation located between
New Orleans and Texas. The
third congressional district has
neither a man on the State ticket
nor member of this Board, which
fact, if no other, should cause her
to be recognized as the rightfuf
claimant to the Speaker who will
be ex.oficio a member of the
Board of Liquidation.

The law relative to the drainage
of the public roads is found in Act
10, page.194, of 1902, and in Act 4,
page 341, of 1906. Those property
owners who are subject to drains
being cut into their property from
the roads should inform them
selves as to the law and save them
selves from serious trouble. Act
119 of 1902 provides that it is
the, duty of the police juries to
thoroughly drain all public roads
and to complete the perfect drain
age to connect the same with
the drain and bitches on private
property abutting on such road.
The penalty fixed by the statute
for interference by any property
holder is fine and imprisonment.
