Why are there no levees on the
west bank of the Atchafalaya from
Morgan City to Port Barre? Dur.
ing the last twenty years the resi-
dents of this section have paid
about million and half dollars
tor levee protection. All the
ievees have been built on the east
eide of the river. In our opinion
1t is up to the Governor to find out
why there are 10 levees on the
west bank of the Atchafalaya.

SATURDAY, JULY 26, 1918.

The burning of thirty-five pris-
oners confined in the prison Of the
convict farm at Oakley. Miss, is
simply appalling. 1t reflects dis
gracefully on the government of
that state. 1t seems that the
prison in which these convicts
were confined was an iron cage Oh
the second floor of wooden
building. The lower floor thereof
was used as whareroom in which
were stored hay and other COM
bustible articles. The convicts
were locked up in this death-trop
for the night. They we're asleep
when the fire accidentally broke
out in the room below them; the
combustible material caused the
flames to spread rapidly; and
when these doomed creatures
awoke they found themselves en-
Gagged In a burning hell. Their
anguishing cries were heard, but
could not be needed; because the
flames cut of those on the outside
from reaching the cage to unlock
the doors. Thus they were forced
to look on helplessly while these
poor wretches were burned to
death. The horror of it beggars
description.
Though the convicts have for.
feited their liberty and are con.
signed to a hard and degrading
punishment, still humanity and
the law requires their government
to provide every means possible
to protect them from death and
undue suffering. And when their
government through carelessness
Or negligence omits to safeguard
the life of it's criminal wards, it is
guilty of crime of omission
which shocks the civilized world.
The Oakley incident shows
plainly such q crime of omission.
Such careleesness-such neeli.
gence-such disregard for the safe
ty OF the helpless as to confine
them and force them to sleep in
an iron cage over a death-trap like
that one in Oakley prison, can
have no excuse, especially when
death is the result.

OUR CONTINUING MEXICAN
PROBLEM.

City of Mexico advices report that
Felix DiaZ, having fallen at cross pur-
poses with his protege, Huerta, who
is now provisional president, is again
stocking the building which was his
fortress during the late war with
Madero, with ammunition and provi-
sions, and is Quietly mastering a force
to serve there under his command,
in another contemplated outbreak
against the government However
much of credit, or of discredit. should
be attached to such reports in gen
eral, there is nothing in the char
acter of Mexican politics or of Felix
Diaz, or in the relations now known
to exist between him and Huerta, to
make this one impossible of belief.
The disagreement between Diaz and
Huerta is freely admitted. 1t is known
to grow out of a divergence in their
opinions as to when an election should
be called for choosing a president

Consider Jury Reform Today.

| TRENTON, N. j., May 6.-The spe-
cial session of the New Jersey legis-
lature, called by Governor Fielder to
consider a jury reform BILL con-
stitutional convention bill and an act
making mandatory small boards of
freeholders, convened today. BY an
agreement reached between demo-
cratic and republican leaders, these
are the only measures which will be
taken up during. the special session,
which therefore is expected to be a
short one. More than passing interest
centers in the legislation that will or
will not be put through at the special
session which met today, because of
President Wilson's active interest in
the proposed jury reform bill For
four days prior to the converting of the
session President Wilson stumped the
state in the jury reform measures in
terest

Diaz, who is himself candidate for

Diaz, who is himself candidate fol-
the presidency, is anxious for the set
| ting of a date somewhere this side of
the loss of his time and tide. The
latter part of July is the ultimate for
him. Huerta, who has now had a
taste of the sweets of power, how
ever, surrounded with dangers, and
who finds it good living in the official
palace, is in no hurry. He is thus
far, unable to- select any month or
any day, when he thinks it would be
safe to submit the question of an
election of president to the dis
tracted people of a country torn with
revolution, and which must be Gained
and soothed before it can be put in a
deliberative frame of mind. Huerta,
as provisional president, feels it in
cumbent upon him to restore I
guilty everywhere before calling
upon the people to an exercise of
their calm, unbiased judgment in
choosing his successor
There is abundant material for a
comic opera in all this, but on its SER
ious side it presents more dis
view than that we saw when |
war ragged in the streets of the MeXi- |
can capital few weeks ago. Huerta !
would be unable to protect foreign |
residents as we'll as Madero did, and |
there seems to be no doubt that, |
his partisans, the feeling
against Americans has been greatly
Intensified through the failure of this
government to recognize him as Mex
eos provisional president. 1t is pos
;ible that he may be overthrown at
my moment, since his strength, in
he beginning, was only that of the
Oiaz family, and with this in armed
hostility, the main part of the federal
roops in the capital could be eX
,ected to desert him. But even day
# disorder might involve dreadful
Our Mexican problem is .
lot solved, nor can it be said to be in
fair way of solution.

GERMANS ENCOURAGE
 ALL AROUND ATHLETES

Following the foot steps of the Eng Ifsh Association, the German athletic authorities have adopted a plan to encourage alI-round athletic develop roeut by means of @-efficiency'' medals TSha ImperfaI Committee of the OIyTn- pic Games has worked out a system for the awarding of gold, silver and bronze medals for athletes who per form above a set standard in any one of five group of athletic games and sports.
 The first group consists of swim ming and gymnastics, the second of high jump and broad jump, the third of running 100 yards or a quarter of a mile. the fourth fencing, discus throwing, rowing, lawn tennis, wrest- ling. hockey and golf, and the fifth group includes long distance running, swimming, skating. skiing and cycling.
 The Idea. Is that moderate efficiency in five of these things shall be re- warded by a bronze medal. A silver medal will be given if the perform ances are repeated in each of four years, and a gold medal if the per formances are repeated in each of eight years. A competitor of more than 32 years of age will obtain the gold medal if he satisfies the tests only once. The schedule, which is confined to Germans, Is no doubt well adapted to German tastes and to present German conditions.

CANOES TO RACE
 FOR FINE BIG TROPHY

Because of the possibility of yacht races in 1914 for the America Cup, the fact is rather lost sight of that there is to be an international race this sum mer for the New York Canoe Club in ternational trophy. The Gananoque Canoe and Motor Boat Club of Canada is the challenger for the trophy, first offered in 1886. Six attempts have been made to lift this cup, the race condi- tionS of which are similar to those governing the Americas trophy now in the possession of the New York Yacht Club. In 1886 and 1888, London canoeists endeavored to win the cup but failed. In 1890, '91, 92 and '95, Cana dian clubs sent the fastest of their tiny racing craft after the trophy, but went back empty handed. Now, after a lapse of eighteen years, during which time dust has been accommodating hea.v- fly in the silver pitcher in the custody of the New York Canoe Club, another effort will be made to take the prizes across the border.

WHITNEY TO BE
 CAPTAIN OF U. s.
 POLO TOMORROW

New York, June 9.-This was Far r1ers' Day in the camps of the Amer ican and English polo players at the Meadowbrook country club at West bury, L. I. Play begins tomorrow. There are about 100 mounts in all, aI- though neither side will use more than a score in the first game.
 Many experts judge the English ponies to be in better physical condi- ton than the Americans. The eleventh hour decision of the American Polo Association to reinstate the old cup defending team as this years defend CTS, as announced last night was vel coned, apparently by most of the American enthusiasts, today, as a wise move.
 The action was taken to assure com bination and team play which might have been lost if Harry Payne Whit ney, reSunning the captaincy after in jury to Foxhau Keene, had been oo- liged to lead a team of substitutes after having practiced so much with his old four. The general approval of the experts has been attested by a shift in the odds, so that bets were said today to be practically even on the chances of another American victory.
 It was said at Meadowbrook, today, that there might still be a change in the English lineup at least before the second game was played.
 Captain Vivian Lockett has not been showing as much skill as his team mates expected at back, and Lord Wodehouse, substitute, may replace him.

of the glory belongs to Ray.
 One of the surprises was the presen- tation of the PoH cup. It was not generally known that Manager PoIi planned to recognize Keatfng's suc- cess, but with his usual public spir- ited policy he did the generous thing. He sent the following letter to Fred C. Mullins to explain the matter: Dear Fred:
 May I presume on your good nature to add as my offering to the souvenir testimonials for Mr. Ray Heating, Bridgeport's famous young baseball will be typical of the interest I feel in the efforts of his fellow townsmen to speed his success in his chosen profession. As one who is interested in seeing merit rewarded when it is so conspicuous1y demonstrated as in the case of MT. Heating, I am more than anxious to share Bridgeport pride in the young mans achievements on the ball field.
 The cup has been ordered and will be placed in your hands to be turned over to the committee having in charge the arrangements for Keating Day at the Polo Grounds in New York tomorrow. With the cup please con- vey to MT. Heating my sincerest hope that his past successes are only a small measure of what will come to him in the future.
 Yours sincerely,
 s. z. POII.
