is being given to road construction in Bos-
sier Parish and our effort in this direction
has been noticeable for some years. We
should strive always to get the best results
from the material at hand and the fund
available. 1t is said that ''the United
States suffers direct loss of SAC, 600, OO0
annually on account of incorrect and in
adequate methods in the construction,
maintenance-and administration of public
roads, This is an enormous sum, but
not as great by far as the indirect loss
through excessive cost of transportation,
caused by the burden bad roads impose on
farmers and others who use them, and
which is represented to be $3.50, ZOO, OOC
annually. These sums as near as posi-
BILE should be reduced to minimum
Here in Bosser Parish our roads are in
the main constructed of sand and clay, o,
should be, in some communities a top sol
bearing gravel and iron ore being accessi-
BILE. We could not have better material
and for present demands none should be
sought. Let US continue to build such
roads as we have in the past, round then
up we'll in the center, make the side ditche:
wide and shallow, not neglecting to use
culverts for drains where demanded, ane
then keep the roads in condition by drag
ging them. The drag is the thing for gooe
road economy.

Representative J. T. Watkins has secur-
ed an appropriation of $4,000 from Con
gress for improvements in the Red River
south of Fulton, Ark. He asked for twice
that sum, but the engineers said they
could not use more at this time. Through
the efforts of Representatives Ransdell and
Humphreys, the Louisiana and Mississippi
members of the Committee on Rivers and
Harbors, S3,50O,000 has been allowed for
improving that part of the Mississippi
River below Cairo, Ill. This sum will be
used largely for the purpose of revetting
to keep the banks from caving. Mr..
Ransdell says "The benefit to Louisiana
and Mississippi is incalculable, because
caving banks are the only forces working
for the destruction of the levees." Mr..
Humphreys thinks The appropriation will
enable the work to go on at rate that
foreshadows the end of the long fight for
control of the river floods"

A Friend of the Poor!

A kind Christian with small corner on
wheat in Chicago warns the public that
flour is going to $40 barrel before June
and advises everybody to lay in supply
now.
Il have the welfare of the poor people
of Chicago at heart,' says this Samaritan,
who is James s. Templeton of the Board
of Trade. Nobody regrets more than |
to see these poor fellows compelled to pay
$40 barrel for flour, but it has to come,
and very soon, too"
Of course, speculator is moved by pity
for the poor when he buys 7O,O0O,OOO
bushels. He is moved by pity for the poor
when he holds it for rise. He is moved
by pity for the poor when he tries to scare
up a bull panic.
But we have all heard of his kind before.
He is the familiar type that served Pha-
raoh so we'll. He is the same philanthro-
pist who when asked for bread gave q
stone. And if we mistake not he is pre-
cisely the type described in a criminal
indictment specially designed to protec,
the poor against his popular brand oil
kindness.-St. Louis Republic.

VOTE THE STRAIGHT TICKET.

Elsewhere on this page there appears
clipping from the New Orleans Times
Democrat, which is from the Letters from
the People" column, and which suggests
an independent candidate in the general
election for the office of State Superin-
tendent of Schools. 1t is reproduced
merely to show how public sentiment is
now against Mr.. Harris, the nominee, and
how his action in coming out squareiy for
Mr. Michel after receiving this nomination
is resented elsewhere, as we'll as among
the Banners readers. We are not for Mr..
Harris for several reasons, but chiefly
because he is now as much part and
parcel Of the school ring in this State as
that claptrap Aswell, who fathered and
built it up And so is Mr.. Boyd, at the
head of the Louisiana State University,
and many of the parish perintendents,
for that matter.
However, we would not see the party
disrupted. A majority in a primary IN
our State should nominate and nomina-
inn should be equivalent to an election.
Mr.. Harris has been asked by number OF
citizens to resign. If he should do so,
we'll and good. If not, you can only vote
for him, as he is the nominee of the Demo-
cratic party, and, more than that, was
unapposed.
The Banner in its issue just prior to the
first primary suggested that you vote blank
for Mr. Harris. The paragraph was not
written or suggested by the editor and
proprietor of the paper, but by the present
writer and temporary editor. AS he was
the nominee his name did not appear on
the ticket in the primary, Of which fact we
were forgetful at the time. No harm could
have resulted in voting blank for Mr.. Har-
ris in the primary, but in the general cleo.
ton, that is a different matter.
Vote for Mr.. Harris-vote the straight
Democratic ticket-stamp the rooster.

Suggests Independent Candidate.

Suggests Independent Candidate.
A New Orleans contributor to the Times
Democrat of that city says in the issue of
the 22d:
am glad to note that the citizens of
Lafayette will denounce Mr.. Thomas H.
Harris at a mass meeting for his political
trickery, and will request his resignation !;
but he will not resign. Then, why not put
in nomination an independent candidate?
This can be done under section so of act
252 of 1898, which requires 1000 qualified
voters to sign nomination paper for a
Statewide office. These 1000 signatures
can easily be obtained here in the city if
necessary.
Under section "a of the same act this
nomination has time to be filed until three
weeks before the coming election, which
will be held on the first Tuesday after the
third Monday in the month of April next.
Because Of his political methods in the
recent campaign, an independent candi-
date, if given sufficient publicity, can beat
Mr.. Harris. WILLIAM C. HARDER.

1t is claimed that there are now in the
United States 154 daily newspapers that
carry no liquor advertisements in their
columns. The same can be said of many
of the better class of magazines. Of
course, there is good money in the liquor
advertisement, but is it well, after all, to
even that far encourage its traffic? A
publisher might argue that if he did not
accept the liquor advertisement his COM
petitor or neighbor would, and he might as
well land good paying contract as we'll
as another. Perhaps so; but if you
believe the traffic in intoxicants as prac-
ticed to be an evil, if you are at heart a
prohibitionist and your community is dry,
how can you equitably promote its sale by
accepting the advertisements of the
dealers?

Mr.. Robert Ewing of New Orleans, the
present National Committeeman from Lou
isiana, has announced through his paper,
the Daily States of that city, that he is
again candidate for that office, subject
to the conditions to which the new State
Central Committee may lay down. We are
for Mr.. Ewing because of his previous
service in that capacity and because of the
excellent fight made by his two papers
against the Michel faction in the pas,
State campaign. The former servive alone
however, entities him to the support of the
Democracy throughout the State.

The military expenditures of the nations
for the past year reached the total of
So, $50, 600, 900, our country being third in
the list of nations with an expenditure of
1882, lat 900. This is indeed heavy bur-
den our people must carry. But more
than six times as great as our military ex-
penditures is the drink bill of the United
States. A business with an income such
as the liquor traffic enjoys can afford to
turn loose its millions to corrupt Legislators
and to break down the laws people have
framed for their protection against this
enemy of society.-NashriNe Christian

One John Beck, a citizen of Missouri
town, bet several of his young girl friends
that he could put goose egg in his mouth.
They, of course, had to be shown, so he
did it. Their safest shot would have been
to bet him that he couldn't get it out again,
for he couldn't. They ran with him to a
doctors office, and the wise medico, at
once approaching the situation, promptly
raped John under the chin with his fist.
He then spit it out by piece meal. 1t occurs
to us all this served John right.

Blaming the Lawyers.

From the New Orleans Daily States.l
Time and again President Taft has dis
cussed the necessity of overhauling the
machinery of the law and the administra-
ton Of justice. In a recent address at the
Peoples Forum of New Rochelle, N. Y,
Attorney General Wickersham also stress
ed the fact that "our procedure is so tech
nical and cumbersome that it affords many
opportunities for escape from justice. !"
There is general agreement that something
should De done, but apparently it is
nobody's business to do what ought to be
done.
A few weeks ago Senator Elihu Root
arraigned lawyers themselves as the chief
offenders. ''It is the bar" he declared,
''that makes up great part of our legis-
latures and is responsible for the stupid
and mischievous legislation regarding pro-
cedure which hampers the courts in their
efforts to do justice. 1t is the bar, which,
knowing all the facts and familiar with all
the evils, insists upon the continuance of
our methods to promote the immunity of
criminals and the hindrance to justice to
the point of denial. The primary fault and
the primary duty rests with u.s.
Senator Root ought to be regarded as a
competent authority on subject of this
sort, for he is one of the foremost lawyers
of the country. The inference from his
criticism of lawyers is that they are under
obligation to take the initiative in the
reformation of legal methods that now
''promote the immunity of criminals and
the hindrance of justice to the point OF
denial" All things considered there
seems to be fine field for public spirited
lawyers who are able to point the way to
better methods and more satisfactory re-
suits in legal procedure. It is certainly
not field in which the layman cannot
hope to accomplish anything for the gen.
eral good.

Panama Route Mileage.

FROM Inc New YORK tribune
The recent publication of statistics by
the Hansa newspaper of Hamburg should
serve to correct too common and quite
incorrect impression concerning the Pana-
ma Canal and its relation to the trade
routes of the world. That it will greatly
shorten the sea route between the two
coasts of the United States is obvious. So
is it that it will bring US into much more
direct intercourse with the west coast of
South America. But there has been a
notion extant that it will offer few advan-
tages to commerce to other parts of the
world, and that shipping between, for ex-
ample, England and Australia and Eng
land and New Zealand will continue to go
by way OF the old routes, through the Suez
Canal or around the Cape of Good Hope.
The error of this is seen in the Kansas
figures, which might readily have been
worked out by anybody before. There
will be 800 miles saved by the Panama
route on the voyage from England to
Australia. On that from England to New
Zealand the saving will be twice that dis
lance. Still greater will be the gain
between England and the Pacific ports of
the American continent, namely, 21OO
miles to Valparaiso and 5000 to San Fran
CISCO. DeLWeeu Europe auu luo pOftS Ol
China and Japan there may be little or no
gain, or even some actual loss; yet even
that does not prove that such commerce
will entirely shun Panama, for the reason
that that route, if not always shorter, is
more direct and straightaway than that
through Suez, and that is no mean advan-
tage to some commerce. The more the
matter is considered the more likely it
seems that the patronage of our canal will
be much greater than the critics if not the
advocates of the enterprise have estimated.
This impression is deepened by the extern
sive preparations which nearly all other
maritime nations are energetically making
to improve the opportunity which the open
ing of the canal will afford. There should
be in it an irresistible incentive to still
more energetic preparations to the same
end in this country and to the encourage
ment thereof by the rules and regulations
of the canal in every proper and possible
way. Grant and Hayes gave US the idea
of an American canal under American
control. 1t should also be for American
commercial profit.
