POPE Plus K.

The grave illness OF his holiness, Pope
Plus X, which causes serious fears that
the death of the supreme pontiff of the
Roman Catholic Church is near at hand,
has caused sorrow the world over. There
is small chance that the pope's demise
will cause any serious disturbance, either
in secular or religious circles. Unlike his
two immediate predecessors, Leo XIII
and Plus TX, who figured extensively in
international affairs and had to face
many serious difficulties and dangers dur
ing their long and eventful reigns, the
present pope has had comparatively
tranquil and brief ponti6cate. He has
won general regard and veneration rath-
er by his sincere piety and simplicity OF
life in such strong contrast to the ire
ligion and luxury of the times, than by
any brilliant feats in diplomacy or state
craft.
Plus x will be remembered in history
for his zeal and earnestness in the cause
of religion, and for the sincere interest
he has taken in the betterment of the
poor and oppressed. Already well al
vanced in years when he was unexpect-
edly called to the pontifcal throne, his
constitution and habits of life we're i'll
adapted to the restraints and confne-
ment imposed upon him by his exalted
position, hence il is not surprising that
he has worn out under the burden more
rapidly than his immediate predecessors.
The whole world hopes sincerely that be
will recover from his present serious con-
dihon, and will hear of his death with
keen regret.-N. o. Picayune.

the HEALTH YARD STICK.

The man who counts his business
worth while, keeps an accurate account
Of every transaction. He takes stock at
certain intervals; he compares results OF
new methods; no detail is unimportant.
The reason is plain. Buying, extension,
elimation of waste effort, the remedy oil
defects all depends on what the figures
show in terms of gain or loss.
The business of the State or community
is considered of equal importance. Aud
itors and certified records are proofs.
But the most important feature OF the
States book-keeping-health statistics
is neglected. Foreign countries are suf-
ficiently interested to provide for the reg
istration of births and deaths but the
United States cares 50 little we do not
know what our birth rate is nor have we
accurate death rate figures. In this coun-
try, the registration area now comprises
only % States and "a cities in non-regis-
tration States. AS to births there is not
line in the Statistical Abstract on the
subject.
In the recent adoption of the Model
Law in part, or entire, by number OF
States, there is an indication of growing
recognition of the need of this data.
But unfortunately in many so small
an appropriation is budgeted for the
work as to make efficient effort impos-
sible.
The value OF these statistics lies in
their accuracy. The information must be
dependable. The certificates of death
must be accurate in their statement OF
the causes of death. For this reason a
standard death certificate for the civil
lied world has been adopted and an in
ternational classification of the causes OF
death provided.
No real sanitary progress can be made
until there is a basis in accurate records
OF deaths and births with necessary &C.
companying information. Hygienic re.
forms and sanitary measures to be effect
i've must be planned just as the invest
ments Of the banker or the business mar
on basis of past experience and present
conditions. A weekly report, full and &C
curate, from every parish in the Stat
would enable the Board of Health Il
ward off epidemics of communicable dis
eases, to prevent disaster, rather than t.
make attempts to remedy conditions

ment depends upon appropriations add
tional to those already made.-Osca

coon ROADS.
U. s. Dept. Of Agriculture Offers Gold
Medal 20 Boy or Girl for Best
Essay on Good Roads.

A gold medal to the school boy or girl
between the ages Of 10 and Is who writes
the best composition, not to exceed 800
words, on the repair and maintenance
of earth roads, is to be awarded by Logan
Waller Page, Director, Office of Public
Roads, United States Department of Ag-
riculture, Washington, D. G. All COM
positions must be submitted to Mr.. Page
before May Is, 1913, and the medal will
be awarded as soon thereafter as the
competitions can be graded. The compo-
sition may De based on knowledge gained
from books or other sources, but no quo
tations should be made.
After many years experience in deal
ing with the public road situation of the
country, II lie Mr.. Pages belief that ig-
norance on the subject of repair and
maintenance of roads is as much the
eanse Of their bad condition as any other
one factor. II is expected that the COM
petition viii bring about better under
standing Of the subject Of repair and
maintenance in the rural districts.
Many children living in the rural dis
tricts have experienced the disadvantages
Of roads made impossible through lack
Of proper maintenance and ii is expected
that their interest in the competition will
stimulate greater interest among the par
ents. Bad roads have prevented many
children from obtaining proper educa-
tion and have prevented doctors from
reaching the side Of rural patients in time
to save their lives.
Any child between the ages mentioned,
attending a country school, may COM
pete. Only one side Of the paper must
be written on; each page should be num-
bered; the name, age, and address Of the
writer, and the name and location of the
school which he or she is attending must
be plainly written at the top of the first
page. The announcement of the compe-
tition has been sent to the superintend-
ents OF schools in the rural districts. Nc
further information can be obtained from
the Office Of Public Roads. This an
pouncement should be plain TO everyone,
and all children viii thus start on basis
Of equality.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

Washington, D. C. April 12.--I
President Wilson has been exceed
ingly busy the past week smashing
all kinds Of precedents, until the
seasoned legislator, who never had so
many thrills before, is sitting sitting up and
wondering what will happen next
in conservative Washington. That
President Wilson has no particular
regard for tradition was exemplified
on Tuesday when he read his mes
sage on the tariff to the joint as
sembly of the House and Senate
and won a new position in the ese
steem of the American people. Is
Many of the members of the 63rd
Congress looked upon this innova-
ton with mingled feelings of doubt
and criticism but whereas they went
to the Capitol to scoff and possibly
to jeer they returned with nothing
but praise and commentator for
the dignity vi the occasion and the
and the high minded way in which
the new departure was staged. Not
satisfied with shocking the cave
jewellers on Tuesday, on Wednesday
the President broke another prece-
dent by going to the Senate wing of
the capitol and occupying the Pres
ident's room for a heart-to-heart
talk with the majority members OF
the upper branch with view to
harmonizing existing differences Oh
the tariff to the end that the bill
may be put on the statue books as
quickly as possible. And the visit
was so productive that Mr.. Wilson
says he is going again very sooon
and be will also read other messages
to Congress when be regards them
OF exceptional interest. We sure
are progressing.

Considerable alarm was created
this week by sand boils Of unusual
size which had developed in the
levee on the front Of DIR. X. B.
McMillan's Burn" plantation.
The threatened point was visited by
the levee officials and a number of
citizens, and the work toward
strengthening the weakened place
was Immediately begun and a Golfer
dam or mud-box, some 8 feet high,
was constructed around the spot.
Mr.. Robertson and other levee ex-
perts who superintended the work
Of repair feel satisfied that what
danger might have existed has been
reduced to a minimum il not practi-
cally eliminated.

the RIVER.

The gauge at Vicksburg at this
writing friday has reached 81
feet and a rise of four-tenths was
recorded there. The U. s. Observer
at Vicksburg continues to predict a
crest Of So to 81 feet at that point,
provided the levees hold, and it ap-
pears to us that his forecast is ap-
proximately correct.
We may look for the rise to con-
tinue at Vicksburg for some 10 or
IL days yet, for the reason that the
crevasse water in the st. Francis
basin is now returning into Missis-
sippi at Helena, and that gauge
daily reports a slow but steady rise.
Helena is 300 miles above Vicks-
burg and, as a fall usually travels
down stream about 100 miles in 9
days, it will take 9 days for the fall
to reach Vicksburg after it begins
at Helena. These facts make it ap
parent that the strain on our levees
at stages above so feet, must b
prolonged for at least 8 weeks anC
the danger from such conditions
can scarcely be exaggerated.
The Gazette does not wish t.
needlessly alarm any body, but VI
feel that our people should take ad
equate measures TO minimize tn
property loss which would ensue j
we should have a crevasse. Certain
ly it is only common prudence +

What method is to be pursued to
prevent floods in the middle West,
such as have devasted that territory
and are now threatening vast areas
in the lower Mississippi, is one of
the serious questions that faces Pres
ident Wilson. He considers it one
of the greatest problems confronting
the administration and it would not
be surprising if be should order his
Secretary of War to direct the engi
neers of the department to prepare
a detailed report on the question for
the regular session OF Congress,
which meets in December next.
The biggest problem outside of
some comprehensive plan of food
prevention, will be to finance the
undertaking. President Wilson has
been told by the Congressional lead
ers that the necessity for strict econ
omy in the government was never
so great as now.
Mr.. Fitzgerald, the chairman of
the Appropriations Committee told
the President early in the week that
if only few of the bills already in
'troduced in the House affecting the
flood situation were enacted into
law they would exhaust not alone
every dollar in the national treasury
hut also all revenues that are in sight
One plan which has been brought
to the attention of the President
and which will receive serious con-
sideration, is to have a general
scheme of improvement planned
which would absolutely take care Of
all future floods in the Mississippi,
Missouri, Ohio and their tribu-
taries, and then to finance it with
general Issue of what would be
known as flood bonds"
Part of the financing of the inn
provement under this plan would be
met by the States benefited, and
the remainder by the Government.
In connection with this plan is to be
considered the advisability of bring
ing to this work Col. George F.
Goethals and his entire Panama
Canal construction force. This or
ganization, the greatest of its kind
the world ever saw, is to be idle
very soon. 1t has been suggested
that it be sent to Alaska to develope
the resources of that country where
obstacles are to be encountered.
But the food situation may
change that plan. The Lower Mis-
sissippi Improvement Association
has been working to have the canal
workers sent to care for the Mis-
sissippi, and it is possible that the
force win be utilized to place the
rivers of the Middle West in such
condition that further disastrous
floods win be impossible.

orator of the occasion will be Presi-
dent Woodrow Wilson, Chief JUS
tice White to preside over the exer-
cises.
The camp will cover $50 acres
and will be maintained only for the
veterans of the civil war. The cost
of the anniversary celebration, the
fiftieth since one of the greatest bat
ties in the worlds history was
fought, will be borne by the federal
