CITIZENS OF LUXoRA ISSUE
AN APPEAL FOR HELP
Ru Asaoclated Press.


New Orleans, April IAN urgent
appeal of the citizens Of Luoxra for
immediate help from the federal gov
eminent was today conveyed to Pres
ident Taft in a telegram from the
drainage congress.
Mr. Simonson, who is a director or
the drainage congress, described the
flood conditions last night, when his
telegram was sent as most alarming
and said great loss and distress were
impending.
No direct news has come from
Luxora this morning, but persistent
reports of the threatening conditions
of the levees in that vicinity and near
Greenville have caused intense appre-
honsion here for tn safety of life and
property In that section.
Mr.. Simonson's telegram follows:
Flood conditions continue the most
dangerous In the history of this sec
ton. All available men are working
night and day siren gthening the
Ievees. Our greatest Immediate handi-
cap is the shortage of supplies, prin-
cipaily empty sand bags. Shovels,
lifts, etc. are also needed.
I'VE already have used great guam
titles of empty bags. but we must keep
I'D the maximum fight for many days.
''Our nation must be largely fed
| from these great fertile valleys and
| confidence must not be lost IN the
| ability of men to protect life and
| Pre- perty here.
Please request our national drain
| age congress, as a body, to appeal to
President Taft to direct the local
| United States engineers to forward us
large quantities OF supplies from Mem
phis, Cairo or other points charter
| ing additional boats. If government
| beats in the vicinity are all en-
gagged.
Citizens of various small towns and
large farming areas of the valley are
endangered, also millions of dollars
worth of live stock and personal prop
erty.
Acute distress is now slight. though
great loss and distress are impend-
| ing.
wv. e. sIMoNsoN."
Acting President Edmund T. Perkins,
at the direction Of the congress, sent
the following telegram to President
| Taft:
The presence of a danger which
must be met, and met right now, in
duces us to invoke your executive
power. We ask you to instruct the To-
cal United States engineers to send
from Memphis or other points empty

Editorial Comment
The Mo- Battleship FalIacy.
washington Post1

ANdSnluSlDl IOSl,)
Supporters of the no-battleship peli-
cy lay great stress on the report of a
committee of inquiry setting forth that
only the people of the coast States are
in favor of a strong navy" while those
living in the great interior" are abso-
lutely opposed to going ahead. But
seeing that the despised coast States
are % in number, that they contain
more than half the population of the
country, and that two-thirds of the
wealth of the country is theirs. it
seems strange that Congress should be
governed by the sentiment of tbs
great interior.
Is the confidence of men who have
nothing at stake to be given more
weight than the apprehensions oil
those who live in the section exposed
to attack? The sense of fear is some
thing to be reckoned with under any
circumstances. Take that out of the
equation, and there will be no demand
for many of the precautions taken tc
safeguard life and property.
Besides ignoring the question of dan

Jonathan Bourne, Jr., e. S. senator
from Oregon:
The remedy for misrepresenta-
tive press is exactly the same as the
remedy for misrepresentive public
servants If public servant fails to
serve the general welfare, he should
be recalled or refused reelection. II
a newspaper fails to serve general
welfare, subscribers should withdraw
their support. | have contempt for
men who stop the paper because it
has injured them personally but the
utmost admiration for a community
that refuses its support to a paper
that persistently serves special inter-
ests as against general welfare. Such
action is the only recourse the public
has for its own protection, and the
remedy should be fearlessly and
promptly applied"
If the public acted as promptly as
Mr.. Bourne suggests when moral
questions are under discussion. certain
public servants connected with news
papers might be led to see the light
they might soon learn that the public
does not, as a whole. approve of abuse
of law and personal profit out of the
exploiting of public sores. The class
to which newspaper upholders OF multi
fication appeal does not make a good
paying subscription list
The fact is that the apathetic fair
ness" of the average family accounts
for the prolongation of the lives of d
papers. People are told that they
ought to read both sides and give

to pay for sheets that are obnoxious
to them in editorial makeup and gem

such sheets in most cases. is the re-

can buy their columns.

Shall We Have a Parcels Post Law?

Editor Eennebec journal:
We are not living i'm the eighteenth
or even the nineteenth century, but in
the second decade OF the twentieth
century, a progressive age and we
claim this to be the most prosperous
country in the world, but. we are be-
hind several other countries in at least
two ways; In the matter of our pub
lie highways, and the need of parcels
post.
The first of these problems is being
slowly solved, for instead of leaving
the burden of building and maintain
ing the roads in the country towns to
the citizens of those towns where the
mileage is large in proportion to pop
ulation, many states are helping to
build permanent roads, and each year
sees quite an improvement in our
highways. But we are still without
a parcels post and are far from sure
of having a satisfactory parcels post
law for some time to come. One hun
dred or even 80 years ago, there were
very few newspapers published and
comparatively few people outside of
the cities read them, but now there
are thousands of newspapers printed,

business centers they may reside. who
do not read enc or more weekly pa
pers and very large proportion of
them, the daily newspapers Many of
these papers have for some time been
advertising a parcels post law, and
much has been written in favor of it.
Not only the National Grange. and the
f..;,, - 4.
state Oranges, have gone on record as
in favor of such law, and a very
large proportion of the Pomona and
subordinate Oranges have discussed
the question thoroughly, and there is
no doubt that a very large proportion
OF the members of the Order, as well
as of those who are not members, are
heartily in favor of the enactment of
such law The writer and no doubt
very many others have taken
this view of the matter and
yet we may be mistaken. evil
IDENTIFY. one reason why this matter is
attracting so much attention just at
the present time, is because of the fact
that the Order of Patrons of Husban-
dry is raising a fund for the purpose
of bringing the question before the
people, and in the hope of securing the
enactment of such measure at this
session of Congress. Usually when
money is raised in the interests of leg
