the Grst. The United States having
answered the first protest about a
month ago, is now unable to find terms
in which to answer the second, unless
it follows the example of the Toxic
government and repeats its stand,
was clear in Secretary Bryan's last
reply. This is deemed inexpedient and
impolitic to do so, because the en-
phatic terms of the United States
reply, If reiterated, might be taken as
a subject for offense in Japan
While the text of the second Jap
anese protest has not been made pub
lie, it is known that its primary fea-
ture is a demand for the United States
government to take the matter to the
courts, coupled with a firm declara-
ton that Japan does not think it con-
sistent with her dignity to take the
issue to the California courts.
1t is impossible for the United States
to meet this request, but it is not con-
sidered polite to state this in an of
fetal document; therefore, the answer
ing of the latest Japanese protest will
be a most delicate diplomatic prob
lem.

TO CUT OUT THE FRlLLS.

There are two bills before Con-
gress which the friends of education
are watching with the keenest inter
est, namely, the Lever and Page
bills. In substance both bills are ask
ing Congress to enact into law some
legislation that mill meet the needs
of the great majority of the pupils in
Our schools. There are 10000, 600
school children, and for their educa'
ton this country is spending $500,
100000 per annum. Only per cent
of public school children enter col
lege, and the aim of both bills is to
have the children taught such things
in school which will make them self,
sustaining as well as intelligent citi
Zens. 1t is claimed that the present
system of education is not meeting
the needs of the great majority ol
the pupils in our schools. Germany
for the last thirty years has been pre-
pairing the children for their life call
| ing. The outcome of the two bills
will be watched with the keenest in
terest.-Monroe News-Star.

GOOD ROADS MEETING
HELD At COURT HOUSE

A meeting of the representatives
appointed by the different members
of the police jury to consider the
matter of building good roads in the
parish was held at the court house,
Wednesday, about twenty members
of the committee being present.
Dr.. c. F. Howell, president Of the
police jury, was called to the chair
and Mr.. F. S. Percy acted as secre-
tary.
Many different ideas were express
ed as to road building and road
working, but the meeting bore fruit
in the following resolution which has
been signed by a number of the com
mittee and is to be presented to the
police jury at it's next meeting,
eve, the undersigned, represent
ing the several wards of the parish
of West Feliciana, beg to ask your
body at it's next session to consider
some plan for having the public roads
of this parish worked by contract

have already signed the above, and
others wishing to do so will find it

STATE FARM WORK IS
PROGRESSING NICELY

Agricultural operations on the State
farms are we'll advanced, according
to C. Harrison Parker of the Peni-
tentiary Board of Control. He says:
1--WE commenced planting corn last
week at Angola Seed cane is pref
ty nearly all down, except at Hope,
where wet weather has delayed our
work somewhat
1--WE have over $500 acres plowed
are ready for corn planting and have
commenced rough barring off OF plant
cane at Angola.
1--WE are putting in this year in all
the farms S400 acres of land. OF this
1920 acres is in sugar cane, 34l3 &C
res in corn and 1908 acres in oats
planted this winter, besides potatoes
and other vegetables, etc, for our
own use.
I'VE probably will make some trial
paintings of cotton at Angola, to see
what can be done against the boil
weeVil up there. We are promised
some seed of a new variety of long
staple, early maturing cotton, which
is said to bring Csc per pound, being
a variety of Sea Island. The big
money in cotton is in the long sta
pie kinds, but they are late and SLOW
maturing, and had to be abandoned

"Our policy will be to use no fer
tilizers on the farms, but rotate the
crops and plant heavily in peas. We
have purchased for April delivery 5000
bushels of peas, besides what We
raised, and will put them down Oh

eve have tried oatsfor the first
time this winter, and have in more
than enough to feed our stock this
spring and summer
with the large corn area at Ango-
la we expect to house there some
thing like $4,000 bushels, and have
something to go into hog raising Ia
ter.
"The water has not troubled us at
Angola. The old levees were patched
up and repaired, as best we could in
the limited time, and the crevasses
closed. We have had from 100 to Isl
men and 60 to 120 mules at work
there since the last overflow, and
have done the best possible.

PARCEL POST MUST BE MADE
SIMPLER.

The operation thus far of the new
parcel post has amply demonstrated
that the zone plan of Senator Bourne
and the Senate Conference Committee
has not worked to the advantage
either of the post office or of the
people. Instead Of having to figure
out zones by "Quadratic equations
(WhoeVer heard of such thing in a
busy post-office station?) a simpler
method should be devised.
The senator's plan is too cumber-
some. That promulgated by the
House committee to multiply the num-
Der of zones by the number of pounds
in any package and add 4 -eants is
preferable. For instance, five
pound package, to be forwarded to
the fourth zone, would cost "a cents,
and so on. Under such a simple rule
each shipper would be his own IN
formation bureau. Besides, the rates
would be lower, instead Of higher
than the charges made by the express
companies, as in many instances the
Bourne rates certainly are.
Here is another thing. If anything
is written upon the wrapper but the
address of sender and recipient, a
fine is collected amounting to d0u
BILE that of first-class letter postage
What an impmosition, Express com
panies forward any parcel without ex
ira charge, no matter what is writ
ten upon the wrapper. Why such
discrimination? Were it not time
that we emanCipate ourselves from
the antiQuated notion that all postal
matter must be divided into three
classes--Written, printed, and all 9th
ers? The parcel post is intended tc
break down these bars. If farm pro
ducts and all manufactured articles
really stands for what it means, then
why is book excluded from ship
ment by the parcel post? If the de-
partment only could be persuaded (
