Do Animals Think
In the year Of 1904, q horse, Hans,
created an enormous sensation in Ger
many. Its owner originally q worthy
teacher Of mathematics, and later a
passionate horseman and hunter, taught
his horse a number Of tricks, which
seemed TO testify to an unusual intel
igence in the horse, as compared with
that Of a normally gifted child.

usually give correct answers to verbal Z
questions. 1t answered not only its /
master, but anybody whom the master /
taught the proper way to make the /

As not a few hOrsemen. horse lovers I
and officers, besides of course the pub /
lie at large, blindly concluded that this 1
was proof that the distance between .
the intelligence of men and higher ami
mails had been exaggerated. the Prus-
sian government i'm October 1904 aD-
pointed q commission of scientists to 1
investigate the real gifts OF the horse. /
The most important member Of the /
,momissiOn was the leader OF the l
Dsych illogical institute Of the univer-
ity OF Berlin, a certain privy coun-
illor Stumpf and two assistants. After
few weeks investigation. this com
Mission rendered a report which all at

ioner, who uncOnsciOusly gave the [

NEED OF GOOD ROADS.

In writing of cost of roads and val
ue, an expert shows that if 20 per
cent of the country's highways were
put in good condition, at least two
hundred and fifty million dollars
would be saved in the moving of the
crops of the year 1912. This amount
would suffice to improve five thous-
and miles of roads and thus in the
course of five years two hundred
and fifty thousand miles of highway
would be developed to meet the
needs of the farm.
When it is reflected that the aver
age cost of hauling in the United
States is Is cents per ton per mile
as compared with only 2 cents per
ton per mile in France and Germa-
ny and England, the urgent econo-
mic need of highway improvement
and extension In this country be
comes painfully evident.-University
Extension.

Of these lands remove these fences
when ordered to do so, or will there
be a squabble? Better settle these
matters beforehand and avoid squab-
bles and law suits. Unless this is
done the road system would end in
a fiasco-just as former system did.
And last, but most important of
all, will We have any better roads
than we now have, after voting this
tax, that so many of us can but i'll
afford to pay?
To impose a useless burden on a
people, who are in as sore straits
as We are at present, would be al
most a crime.

VERY UNFORTUNATE.

Archbishop Blenck has issued a
formal letter to his clergy, directing
that same be read at mass in the
Roman Catholic churches Of Louisi-
ana tomorrow, urging Catholics to
vote against the proposed tax reViS'
ion, because it's inheritance tax fea-
ture will possibly cause loss to the
Church in donations and legacies.
There can be no doubt that this is
a severe blow to tax revision, as
many Catholics may take the Arch
bishops utterances as mandatory,
and vote against Amendment No. J.,
regardless of its many good features,
and of the fact that the inheritance
tax provisions are not fixed by the
amendment. but are subject to legis-
latiye action and can be corrected at
a later session Of the Legislature.
Mr.. Edgar H. Farrar has character
lied the Archbishop's position as "un-
Fortunate" and it must be admitted
that this word but mildly describes
the situation thereby evolved 1t is
not only unfortunate for tax reVis-
ion since it arrays against the sys-
tenn, many devout sons Of the church
who will put her claims against their
own material advantage, but it is
doubly unfortunate because it precip-
itates the Church into politics, some
thing all Americans are agreed is
llnwise and dangerous.
Ttsis unfortunate because it gives
color to the charges made that re-
ligiOus organizations have already
been playing a hand in the politics
Of the state. These charges have
been denied, but the Archbishop's
frank declaration cannot be denied
or overlooked. He is using the vast
and powerful machinery of his church
to combat a purely political question,
a precedent full of danger. Had any
great moral and unsectarian issue
been involved, it would be proper for
churchmen to take action, but no
such cause is at stake. 1t is sim
ply an economic proposition. On
the one hand, hundreds upon hum
dreds Of plain laymen, Catholic and
Protestant alike, will be benefited
by relief from state taxation, while
on the other hand, the Church NAV
stand to lose something through an
inheritance tax on an enormous lega-
cy, which may happen" once in a
decade.
The common-sense and the piety
OF Roman Catholics will suggest to
them that they may vote for tax re-
vision, and later attend to a meas
ure that will protect donations to
their Church.

SHOULD RECEIVE YOUR VOTE.

The Fifteenth Judicial District
Court, composed of Cameron and Cal
casteu parishes, is in session 319 days
in the year, and 314 in leap year,
when the extra day is not Sunday;
and at that, cant keep up with its
business. That it has not been tho
roughly sWamped is due to the mag
nifiCent distance to court in Calca-
sieu, it being cheaper to compromise
small cases than to pay court costs.
The Legislature has now divided
Calcasieu into four small parishes,
each of which will require two regu-
lar terms of court. Court fees will
be much smaller, and the number of
cases prOportionately larger. Proba-
oily the business of the district court
will be doubled.
That is why the voters are asked
to vote yes on the Constitutional
amendment marked "Act 147' amend,
ing Article 109 Of the Constitution.
The people Of the district ask it's
adoption, not as a convenience to
the lawyers, but as a real necessity
to themselves.
