PRIVATE LETTERS.

In the case of, Denis VS.. Leclere Il
Martin, PIP. 310-3h, Chief Justice Mar
tin of the Louisiana Supreme Court,
in rendering the decision, said:
There are cases, says Denisart, in
which the person to whom letters are
directed can not bring them to light
without crime; especially when they
are written with mystery and contain
confidential things. The crime is still
greater when the secret of letter is
unveiled with the only design of doing
an injury to the writer, who thought
he might open his heart, without any
apprehension of that being revealed
which he was writing for friend only,
and which he wishes to remain con-
cealed from the rest of the world. The
court, in such cases, has uniformly or
dered that the letter be restored to the
writer, whatever relation it might have
to the object in dispute.
Cicero, in his second philippe, in
NJ. Antonium, elegantly inveighs
against a person who had shown let
tiers which he had written him. This
man. says the prince of Roman elo-
quence, skilled in rhetoric and bellies
lettres, yet ignorant of good manners,
has produced letters which he says I
wrote to him. Whoever. having the
least tincture of civility or decency, on
a misunderstanding between himself
and his friend, ever produced or read
publicly the letters he had received
from him? What is this but to destroy
the very life of society? How many
jokes may be INDUCED in in a letter
which when openly divulged are i'm
proper? How many serious things,
proper to be communicated in the priv
acy of ones correspondence, are unfit
for the public eye? | thought | was
writing to a citizen and a good man,
not a villain and thief"

SOURCES OF WASTE.

An exchange suggests that it is hui
initiating to Louisiana to have it an
nounced that two hundred thousand
dollars were lost by the strawberry
growers of East Louisiana, because a
Tennessee firm failed to furnish the
crates. This State stands first in the
Union for pine lumber, and yet the
crude vessels required for transporting
this valuable crop were not available.
There should have been at least one
Louisiana firm to whom to apply.
Also, it might be added that since
there was shortage of crates, as there
often is, canning factories to use the
surplus fruit, would be a safer venture
at any season, and doubly so at this
juncture. Southern people must learn
to look ahead and plan for contingen-
cies if they would avoid the causes of
enormous waste, that levy so great a
discount upon their enterprises.

ON VACATION SPENDING.

Tell me how you spend your vaca-
lions and | will tell you what manner
of man you are. That is the sort Of
aphorism we would make if asked to
express a great truth briefly. And it
is a thought worth considering if a
man really wants to know himself. He
may account for his abnormal acts in
vacation as reaction from the routine
of every day life, but on the contrary
they are the expression of his secret
self. The man, who is usually moral
in conduct, but who lapses into immor-
atty at the vacations opportunity, may
be sure that the natural trend of his
taste lies that way. The man who
turns to nature-study, or hunting and
fishing may feel certain that his ma
tive instincts are asserting themselves.
Watch yourself at vacation time.

WOMEN ARE CITIZENS IN TEN
STATES.

Golfers:
At the forty-fourth annual conven-
ton of the National American Woman
Suffrage Association held in Philadel-
phia, there was significant demon
stration. The original Declaration of
Woman's Rights formulated at Seneca
Falls, N. Y, in 1916, was re-read in In
dependence Square proclaiming all
men and women born free and equal
There were only a few brave women
among the first signers. The suffra-
gists of the United States today are
counted by the hundreds of thousands
They won the greatest triumph in the
history of the cause when in November
last oregon, Kansas, Arizona and pos
sibly Michigan simultaneously decided
to enfranchise their women. With Cali
fornia, Washington, Idaho, Utah, Colo
RADIO, and Wyoming that earlier grant
ed women citizenship, there are now
ten suffrage States, in which there are
1861 900 women who may vote.

A LESSON IN CITIZENSHIP.

An exchange remarks that no practi-
cal results can follow the writing of
letters to President Wilson by the chill
dren of Louisiana on the food situa-
ton, as suggested by State Superin-
tendent Harris, since these letters will
never be seen, much less read, by the
President. One may doubt this, as any
thing of so picturesque a quality, so
appealing as thousands of letters from
children would fire the imagination of
even the dullest, the most callous of
secretaries. Again, the lesson of citi-
zenship-the common interest, the com.
mon duty-is alone worth the effort
made by the children. 1t will pay he
commonwealth a hundredfold more
than the cost of postage.

RAISING ANGoLA,s LEvEE.

]. Shelby Sanders, member of the
board of control of the State Peniten-
tiary, is in st. Louis to buy eighty Mis-
souri, mules for the work of making
Angola levee 8 feet higher. Two large
dredges are already at work there. At
least half million yards of dirt will
be removed to raise ten miles of levee
three feet higher than they now are.
Two hundred of the strongest convicts
will be used continuously until the
work is finished.
The convicts at Angola are now har-
vesting six hundred acres of oats, run
ming forty bushels to the acre and
worth total of twenty-five thousand
dollars. The board, just bought a
thresher and will thresh the oats on
the field. The sugar crop will be a
bumper one, but the exact quantity is
not yet known. Col. C. Harrison Par
ker says the corn crop is the best he
has seen in years.

GOD BLESS OUR ENEMIES.

The man who has enemies amounts
to something He is live man. He is
fighter. People don't kick corpse.
A live man can swim against the cur
rent; corpse floats down without hin
drance. God bless our enemies. We
love them. They make like worth liy-
ing.-Alexandria Democrat.
All of which is true so far as the
truth can be expressed in epigram, for
truth is too many-sided to be put into
words tersely. 1t is like using prisons
for window-panes. So with the facts
relating to enemies, for enemies are of
many kinds.
First that may be mentioned is the
enemy made so by jealousy or envy.
If hell hath no fury to match woman
scorned, even so there is no remedy
for the enemy made so by envy of ones
success, ones talents, possessions or
what not; or by jealousy of some third
person unduly beloved, which the enc
my would snatch from ones arms.
This sort of enemy belongs to the
class of undeserved enemy, and one
may well hesitate before regarding
such an enemy as blessing, or wor-
thy of blessing. There is no inspira-
ton in such enemy's oppositionand ha-
tired. He is the sort of enemy that sell
dom works in the open, that drops a
poisoned word here, or sets hidden
snare there.
But the enemy made such by ones
faithful performance of duty, that hates
you because you know his small soul
through and through, he is the enemy
that, though he sets his foot forward
at every turn to throw you down, can
put you to the very best that you
know in either doing or daring He is
the enemy that proves your mettle. He
makes and keeps you, full-grown in
mentality and exertion to disprove his
malice and his lies. God bless him.

THE PARISH THE UNIT IN ROAD
MAKING.

A correspondent in this issue of the
paper gives a clear exposition of the
cost of road-making in this parish, es-
timated on the lowest bid offered at
the meeting of the Police Jury, May
Z. 1t is shown that the work can be
done on the present assessment even
by the reduction of one mill of taxa
ton. The plan is practically safe and
has the advantage over any other
proposition for road-making inasmuch
as the Police Jury, a recognized legal
body, will be in a position to keep con-
slant supervision over the contractors,
seeing that the latter perform their
duty in the premises.
The True Democrat is not opposed
to the districting of the parish and CIV
ing each ward control over its own
roads; in fact is not opposed to any
plan which will give the parish good
roads.
But it does not seem so practical to
make the unit of the ward, as it is of
the parish. A few non-progressives can
block action in their respective wards,
as was exemplified but recently, while
in whole parish the chances all are
that the progressives are in the major
ity.
Again, if no chain is stronger than
its weakest link neither is any road
better than it's impossible spots. A
road through one district might be
good until it reached the next district
when it's usefulness could be minimiz-
ed or destroyed by the neglect of the
authorities therein. But with the par
ish having control over all of its roads
there is no possibility of being at the
mercy of an unprogressive road dis
trict.
The parish as a unit in road-making
is quite small enough for effectiveness
and yet not too large.

JESSE ROBERTS KILLED.

Jesse Roberts, engineer of a passen-
ger train on the Clinton branch of the
Yazoo and Mississippi Valley, was kill
ed about 10 o'clock Tuesday in wreck
about two miles west of Clinton. Louis
BraZele, negro fireman, was hurt seri-
ously. While the cause of the accident
could not be learned definitely, 1t is
thought that it was due to the spread
ing of rails. The locomotive jumped
the track and rolled down the embank-
ment. The engineer and fireman were
thrown out and partially covered by
the locomotive.
Roberts died a few minutes after be-
ing pulled from beneath the wreckage.
His body was brought to Baton Rouge
Tuesday afternoon on a Vicksburg
southbound train. The fireman was
taken to New Orleans for treatment
Roberts was about thirty-five years
of age and is a native of East Felici-
ana, but for several years has resided
in Baton Rouge with his wife and two
children. His body was taken to Will
son, La, Tuesday afternoon.

er of the State Live Stock Sanitary

borhood, two gentlemen there paying

ever being made for his services.
We shall make a further report, in
our next issue, of the result of this in
vestigation, though there seems no rea-
son for doubling that it is cholera in
it's chronic form-and it's most difficult
stage. The disease should always be
checked by immunization with serum
at the very beginning of the outbreak,
The serum necessary to immunize a
hundred pound hog costs about twenty
five cents.

NOTICE.!

After this date, the publishing OF
clerks notices opening an administra-
ton must be paid for in advance by
the party in interest. The reason for
this is that frequently administrations
are opened and never closed, or are
opened and the closing never adver-
tised. Hence, it is difficult to keep on
the track of such notices and get them
paid.
