The receipts Of the Donaldsonville
postoffice for the year ending March
81, 1913, totalled $3.50, as compared
with S8824 for the previous year, a
decrease of S44. The falling-off is
attributed to the temporary husi-
ness depression resulting from the
high water Of 1912 and the failure
of the sugar crop last winter, and
it is considered a good showing that
in spite of these adverse conditions
the decrease should have been so
small

THE MOST IMPORTANT COUNT.

Federal, and other judges, together with lawyers
who practice before tem will readily recognize that
the most important count which Judge Archibald
convicted, was Article w. 1t charged that Judge
Archibald improperly corresponded with the attorneys
re Louisville and Nashville railroad without the
knowledge of either opposing counsel or his asso-
ciates on the bench, concerning case in which the
railroad was party, after that case mad been closed.
Laymen, unfamiliar with court practices in in
innate detail will not realize the widesweeping sig
ni6cance of the Senate's vote that this was high
crime and misdemeanor." Lawyers and judges alike
know that precedent is established which is little
less than revolutionary
1t is precedent that ought to have been estab-
ished long ago But if it were to be made basis
of impeachment proceedings, today, against every
Judge against whom duplication of the ofense could
be proved. there would be wondrous thinning of
judicial ranks
At critical point in testimony the judge, with the
testimony before him and the case awaiting deter
mination, becomes uncertain exactly what witness
meant. What easier than to WRITE or, meeting him,
to say. to the lawyer who introduced that witness:
Il don't quite understand what the witness meant
What was the exact point you intended to prove by
mis- statement on such and such point?"
The time to ask that question was when the
lawyers and the witness were present, in order that
the exact shading of significance might be secured
and both sides have chance to develop it.
Private communication on such point gives tine
lawyer-in too many cases it will be construed as
offering him-the opportunity to nterpose his own
construction of what very likely is-a crucial point
Yet this practice of seeking personal explanations
from lawyers is common to an extent that would be
startling if the facts known. The thing is done
frankly enough in many cases; but the very open
ness of in such cases gives opportunity for furve
and avoritism in others. 1t is altogether bad
and wrong practice. 1t will be INDUCED with care
and caution in future now that by vote of 81
to 20 the Senate mas held it 'high crime and mis-
demeanor'

PRICES STILL KITING.

Impressive figures are given in the latest bulletin
issued by the United States Department of Labor
presenting in concrete form the results of its inves
cations into the cost of living, this time in group OF
thirty-nne American cities.
Ii is shown by these figures that in the year be.
tween August, 1911, and August, 1912, the cost OF
staple articles of food-the articles that 60 toward
the making of the everyday meal of the vast bulk OF
the people-went up Is per cent on the average.
That this rise in tne price of necessaries is steady
and constant is indicated by the summary for the last
ten years. which presents the following disquietng
conclusions:
The potato that enters into the average
citizens dinner costs 46 per cent more in 1912
than il did in 1902
Lard for cooking purposes has become 81
per cent more expensive in the course of the
decade.
Round steak, in the memory of most
paper readers one of the most economical of
cuts. has jumped Sc per cent in cost.
Smoked bacon is just twice expensive as
it used TO be ten years ago.
Pork chops, once the poor mans resort for
feast at moderate price, have gone up just 102
per cent
At this rate of progression the prospect for the
future is such give rise to grave apprehen
sons.
Amy movement that promises to reduce tine price
of production of transportation to market is worthy
of the earnest support of the people The effect of
the operation of the parcel post upon the figures TO
be shown in the next bulletin to be issued by the De-
partment of Labor will bear watching with close in
terest.

STANDING PAT ON AVIATION.

Peace talk, third-rate navy and the nucleus
of an army won't insure the United States against
attack, notwithstanding the confidence taken in this
program by the Congressional committee that is
standing pat on the airship question. The only
progress reported by the House committee on mill
tary affairs is that providing for increased pay for
aviators.
The United States ought to have a well-baanced
military establishment, modern through and through
The battleshp Pennsylvania will be curious fea-
ture of navy seriously IN need of battle cruisers
and torpedo boat destroyers. An appropriation of
100000 for military aviation will add very little
strength to the country's flying squadron of dozen
aeroplanes. France has 500 of these aerial war
ships built or building, not to mention fleet of
dirgibles. England is spending more than ST ,0OO,
600 on flying corps, with nearly $50 machines
at its disposal. Germany mas than So 900 900
available, provided, in part, by popular subscrip-
ton, for aeroplanes and dirigibes
The country that produced the first aeroplane
is standing in the strange position of doing scarcely
anything to avail itself of the proved advantages
of aviation.
