THE INCOME TAX.

The income tax amendment has
now been ratified by thirty eight
states, two more than the necessary
two-t thirds, and it will now be only
the matter of short time when it
will go into practical operation. The
minimum income taxed will be
$4,000, and it is estimated that it
will yield a revenue of not less than
one hundred millions of dollars each
year. 1t will thus be possible to re-
duce the tariff, and at the same time
make the very rich contribute their
proper share to the conduct of the
government
1t has been a victory Of the peo-
pie, as the forces or great wealth
have been arrayed, both openly and
secretly, against it, and though 1t
has taken more than a quarter of a
century for it's accomplishment, the
fact that the people can have what
they strive hard enough for, is again
vindicated.
Louisiana cannot take full salts
faction in it's share of this victory,
since ratification by the legislature
CT this state was delayed two years,
owing to the opposition of Gov. San
ders, who advanced sophistical argu'
ments arming his cohorts for the de,
feat of the measure. Some of the
| more ignorant representatives were
led to believe that a mans entire for
tune, not income, would be taxed.
However, all's we'll that ends well

A FEDERAL BUREAU OF MAR
KETS.

Some time ago a bill passed the
United States Senate providing for
Federal Bureau of Markets. It's pur-
pose is to bring producers and con-
sumers together and to follow the
markets so closely that those who
had anything to sell would be put
more directly in touch with those who
wished to buy. During the discussion
CT the measure in the Senate it was
claimed that a billion dollars worth
OF agricultural products went to vast
in this country every year for want
of a market, and that the proposed
bureau would effect a great reduc-
ton of the waste.
The Agricultural Committee of the
House has agreed to report the bill
by unanimous vote, and there is
good prospect of it being passed at
this session. 1t appears that there
are movements on foot in many cit
les for the establishment of public
markets. One has been started i'll
Providence and in Dayton, Ohio. On
three mornings of the week the farm
ers market is open for long dis
tance along one of its business streets
and another municipal market has
1een opened in the residential dis
trict. Thus, in a good many places
the tendency is toward the elimina
ton of the middleman, who has bro
fitted at the expense Of both the
producer and consumer. The ten
dency noted is being rapidly strength
ened by the parcel post, which is de
stined to be powerful factor in the
movement to bring the producer an;
consumer together and put the grasp
ing middleman out of business.--N

A MARVELLOUS CITY.

1t is estimated that there We're over
two hundred thousand visitors to New
Orleans for the carnival. Early last
week the crowds were excessive,
and each succeeding train brought its
quota to swell the thr0ng. The page
ants were quite up to the mark, and
there was less complaint Of extor-
tionate prices. Was it because every
one has become SO accustomed to
high prices? Possibly the prices were
more reasonable, as New Orleans
should have learned that extortion
is suicidal.
The carnival is at once the glory
and the misfortune of New Orleans.
FITS glory because nowhere else in
the New World has the beauty and
merriment the bonhomie, the exempli
fcation Of true spirit Of carnival
reached such perfection; its misfor'
tune, because the cultivation of the
qualities that make the carnival per
feet initiate against the progress ol
the city along more prosaic, CONNER
cial lines
1t is difficult to acquire reputa
tion at once for matchless merry
making and for serious achievement
much more is it to be in actually
the one thing and the other.
But since the carnival lasts onl!
through an exceedingly brief period
the time for graVer efforts in all th'
longer. And while it would be pos
sible for New Orleans to plan at
fractions that would make its entir
year a carnival of delights, its sit
uation as the gateway alike of tn
Mississippi and Of the Southern sea
demands that it shall also be cit.
CT commercial Importance.
It's possibilities in that direction
far transcend anything that could b
accomplished as city Of pleasure
The question is, therefore, will Grea
ell New Orleans come into it's highe
possibilities, will it develop as cal
nival city only, or will it advanc
along both lines? The answer n
man can give, but if New Orleans a
tempts to do both she will become il
deed a marvel.

BACK TO NATURE.

A hen is not supposed to have much
common sense or tact, yet every
time she lays an egg she cackles
forth the fact.
A rooster hasn't got lot OF Intellect
to show, but none the less most
roosters have enough good sense
to crow.
The mule, the most despised Of beasts
has a persistent way of letting peo'
ole know he's round by his insist
ent bray.
The busy little bees they buzz; bulls
below, and cows moo, and watch
dogs bark, and ganders quack, and
doves and pigeons coo.
The peacock spreads his tail and
squawks; pigs squeal and robins
sing, and even serpents know
enough to hiss before they sting.
But MAN, the greatest masterpiece
that Nature could devise, will Otter
stop and hesitate before he'll ad
vertise.-From Byck's Broadside.

MISS WALDO KILLED BY AUTO

From New Orleans is reported the
distressing information that Miss Ev-
elyn Waldo, teacher of statewide
reputation, was killed Monday night
by being knocked down and crushed
by an auto in Prytania and Polyhm-
MIA streets Of that city. In the auto
was DR.. E. Friedrichs and others.
DR., Friedrichs declared that he was
driving his auto at slow speed when
the unfortunate victim in attempt
ing to cross the street ran in front
of the machine and before he could
stop it she had been run over and
crushed in such manner that she died
i'm a few minutes.
Miss Waldo was the head of ST.
Margaret's Daughters, Catholic or
ganization similar to the Kings
Daughters. Her work among the
poor was unceasing, and in effort
along educational lines, she was
equally tireless and devoted.

reminder, more than the mere find
ing by a Grand Jury to enforce law,
Samuel M. Jones of Golden Rule fame
said, and he said truly, that 'laW
means anything the people will back
up
A Judge may be SO conscientious,
so advanced in thought, that he may
be ready to go to the bitter end TO
enforce a wise and salutary law. A
Grand Jury may be equally as ready
TO do the same. But if the people,
the moral force of the community,
the heavy pressure of solid public
opinion, is not behind them then the
labors of judge and the inqulslt0rIal
body are alike vain.
Law is what the people will back
up. Men may be indicted for wrong
doing in certain ways but a callous
jury will surely free them; since no
other sort of jury can be found un-
less public opinion creates one, in
| nine out of every twelve men that
walk the streets. 1t is not our pur'
pose at this time to dilate upon the
peoples duty in the circumstances
Our opinion is well-known. We mere
! ly wish to point out how futile it is
to expect results from judge and
jury unless the people will back
them up.
OF course it shows fine courage fol-
the judge to instruct, and the granC
jury to indict, but indeed is theil
labor vain, unless you-and you-ant
you-all men, who believe in law ant
decency will back them up.

HOMES FOR THE FALLEN.

Much has been written in the last
two weeks of a gigantic plan to be
put into operation whereby homes
are to be established in cities through
out the country, homes which are 10
shelter fallen women and care for
them for six months or year, then
finding work for them and keeping
in touch with them until they dre
started again on the right road.
There are about 100 such homes i'll
this country and it is estimated that
at least $500 are needed. 1t is claim
ed that sufficient money is in sight
for the project. Many who have read
these announcements have not known
that New Orleans is among the lun-
dred cities which has such a home.
Comparatively few are able to tell
where, when and by whom this ha-
Ven for young women who have sin
ned against SOciety's laws was estaD-
lished or know of the devoted SER
vice that is being given to this "Me-
mortal Home" by a group of noble
women.
While the social hygiene commit
tee of the general federation insists
that to correct the evils which make
a memorial home necessary should
be the aim of club women the need
of such shelter homes must bemet un
til such time as education upon the
subject of social hygiene shall forti
fy CIR youth against the dangers con
sequent upon transgression of God
made and man-made laws.

In one short month Mr.. Taft's sal
ary will shrink from $4,000 to $4,000

It is to be regretted that the road
election in the second ward was
thrown out on a technicality as a
majority of the voters favored the
project, which was undoubtedly for
the good of the ward. The only 2p-
position was made by one large prop
erty-holder, who threatened to resort
to an injunction to prevent the inn
position of the tax. 1t is inconceiv'
able how any one who has large prop
erty interests can oppose any rea-
sonable scheme to get good roads,
as people are benefited almost in
direct ratio to the size Of their prop
erty, for whereas a man of small
means enjoys a good road or suf-
fers from a bad one, the weather
man suffers loss with every wagon
load he hauls, and having more
loses more than his poorer neigh
or. This is self-evdent.

WHY NOT OTHERS?

1t is really amusing to read some
of the pathetic articles some of the
editors throughout Louisiana are de-
voting to Senator Murphy J. Fosters
future political career. This gentle
man has been we'll rewarded by the
people of this State, and sufficiently
so as shown in the last State cleo
tioE-when he was defeated by Sen
ator Jos. E. Ransdell. Senator Fos-
ter has been sufficiently honored by
the Democratic party and it is about
time for him to give other worthy
Democrats place at the pie-COunter,
many of whom have fought in the
battles of the party without any re-
ward whatsoever.-Pla Cham
piOn.
While we were formerly great ad'
mirer of Senator Foster, and gave
him indeed much hero-worship in the
old anti-lottery days, it is plain to US
that Louisiana has amply repaid him
70: those earlier services. AS for his
later work at Washington the con-
sfnsus OF opinion was shown at the
last general election, and that judg'
ment having beeen rendered by the
people, it becomes Mr.. Foster to re-
main in that retirement to which the
electors tacitly committed him.
To aspire to a post SO important
as Collector of the Port, and to stand
4 good chance Of getting it by the
help of old political affiliants, is an
affront to that majority of voters wnc
delegated him to private life. More
over the proposition, once an office
holder always an office-holder, is OBJ
iectionable, and is too much respect

NONE BUT DEMOCRATS ON
GUARD.

Abandonment by the Republican
senators of any hope of confirming
President Taft's nominations at this
session, after three trials in execu-
tive session to force the Democratic
senator's to allow confirmation on the
most important appointments, means
that all of the Louisiana and Missis-
sippi postmasters, about twenty-five
in number, who have been renomi-
mated by President Taft since Will
sons election last November will
have to give up their jobs soon af-
ter March 4.
These postmasters will be allowed
to resign soon after the postmaster
general in Wilson's cabinet takes Of
flee on March 4. Those who do rot
do so voluntarily will be requested
to hand in their designations. All
these offices will be filled by Demo
Gratis. During the Wilson administra'
ton, as fast as the commissions OF
the Louisiana and Mississippi post
masters expire, they will b replaced
by Democrats. Some Of the Repub'
lican postmasters, however, in these
states have more than two years tc
serve before their commission expire

COURT NEWS.

rhe winter term of the oath Jul
dicial District Court for the Parish
of West Feliciana convened Monday
morning, Judge Jos. l.. Golsan, pre-
siding, and the other officers of the
court in attendance.
There has been little business be-
fore the court, and nearly all crimi-
nal cases have been assigned for
trial next week.
The grand jury is composed of the
following members: G. w. Newman,
foreman; w. w. Daniel, A. T. Dire

N. P. Hobgood d. B. Faithorn, J. E.

especially to look after violations of
the Gay-Shattuck and concubinage
laws. After being in session for four
days, that body presented it's report
=, the Court, Thursday afternoon,
and was discharged.
The following cases have been as
signed for trial, next week:
State VS.. Mary Meter, wounding

THOSE TEACHERS cERTIFI-
Gates.

All. who have read the editorials in
this paper from time to time on the
now happily-repealed Marks bill, will
recall that we vigorously assailed
the assumption made by that law
that parish superintendent were bet
ter fitted to select teachers than were
the school boards. The many in
stances to the contrary were sufflcl-
ent proof that this theory was not
correct, that parish superintendent
we're, as likely to be influenced, in
deed more likely than the School,
Boards, by other reasons than the
entire fitness Of the applicant for a
leadership. In fact, the ratio was
as ten to one in actual practice, as
the average parish superintendent
was found to be more open to favor
itism than the personnel Of an en-
tire board could possibly be.
Such was our contention. The op
Grafton of the new law gives indirect
confirmation of this view. Teachers
are now examined at the home town
but their papers are graded by
special committee appointed by tht
State Board at Baton Rouge. 1t has
been found that many teachers whc
had secured provisional certificates
and deemed themselves safe in hold
ing their schools, failed to pass be
fore the committee, who knew then
not.

Indictments charging conspiracy to
violate the neutrality laws in cOnnec-
ton with the proposed shipment Of a
large quantity of arms and ammuni-
tion to Mexican insurgents, were re-
turned by the federal grand jury
against A. Baldwin G Company, a
large hardware exporting house of
New Orleans. Other persons were
Indicted also, but the names were
rot made public. 1t is understood
that the indictments were in connec-
ton with a proposed shipment Of
$4,000 worth of rifles, machine guns
and ammunition purchased by "wo
Mexican revolutionary agents and in
tended to be shipped from New Or
leans to Vera Cruz last August for

PUBLIC OPINION IS THE REAL
LAW.

Like the judge that preceded him
on the bench, Judge Golsan in charg-
ing the Grand Jury, on Monday, did
not fail to instruct that body specifi-
cally on it's duty in the premises as
to the Gay-Shattuck, the selling of
liquor to minors and the conculi-
mage laws. At this writing the Grand
Jury has not brought in its final re-
port so that the remarks which fol-
low. may be applied as the occasion
demands.
This is obviously in the line of his
duty, as these laws are of police char
acter, and upon their proper observ-
ance much of the happiness, not to
say decency, of the community de-
pends.
But it takes more than judges

Cd in Louisiana. The consequence
is that in the halls Of Congress, as
elsewhere, the State has been repre-
sented, not served, in too many in
stances by men who have worn out
their energies and enthusiasm, and
have lost capacity for good service.
Pension such men, if it must be,
hut do not advance them to new and
greater positions, that require some
thing more than past reputation to
insure efficiency Of service.
