suggested through the anticipation
of losses in trade and traffic. In this
opposition the express companies
were active, but their best eoffrts
failed in the defeat of the parcel
post, which is one of the greatest
benefits to hundreds and thousands
of the people.
Its success in Shreveport has ex-
ceeded the most sanguine of antici-
pations. A profit of nearly 81 800 in
three months is to the credit of this

The SllUar Bill.

1t is evident that President Wilson
has made clear his attitude on SUI
gar. jsThis conclusion was not
reached hastily. He has eyinced his
inclination to hear what the repre-
sentatives of the sugar interests in
Louisiana had to say. 1t is also evil
dent that the party is in full accord
with President Wilson on the issue
of the tariff, which is to be scaled
downwards. This promise was given
to the people and will be kept. The
Louisiana delagtion, as reported, is
disinclined to accept the compro-
mise of a duty of one cent with
the understanding that sugar is to
be free three years hence. Should
this compromise not be accepted, it
is very probable that sugar will be
declared free at this special session
of Congress. The ultimatum is a
protective duty of one cent until
three years when sugar shall be
free.

The State Bonds.

On Thursday, April 8, the Board
of Liquidation of the State Debt, sit
ting in Baton Rouge, decided to re-
turn the proposals received and
which had been offered for the
State bonds. This decision was
reached for the reason that the bids
were insufficient and were in a sense
a discredit. If the bonds are good
and there is no doubt of this fact
the bonds should be sold for their
value. If there is no demand for
such bonds the State will be COM
PEELED to hold them until an oppor-
tune time is reached. The State
could not sacrifice it's credit, anG
the sensible practical policy is to
wait.

DOMESTIC TRAGEDY.
Kills His Wife and Shoots Himself
With the Same Weapon.

At about o'clock yesterday af-
ternoon A. Bunch, painter and
decorator, shot his wife with a pis-
tol, on the second floor of the Cres-
cent Hotel, where they lodged. Mrs
Bunch was shot twice in the left
breast. Her wounds were immedi-
ately fatal.
AS she lay on the floor, Bunch
believing her to be dead, shot him
self in the breast with the same
weapon.
The couple were married last
Thursday a week ago.. The origin
of the misunderstanding which led
to the tragedy is ascribed to jeal-
ousy.
In a pocket in Bunch's coat there
was found a note, written by the
woman, reading: Have gone to the
show with Happy. Be home soon.'
Happy" is presumably friend.
The occupants of the room ad-
joining Bunch's relate that he came
home drunk and was noisy. He
called her into the room and then
shot her.
Mr.. Bunch was fastened to the
hospital. Mrs. Bunch is from Texas
The honeymoon of this pair was
brief indeed. Had Bunch been sober
he would not have been guilty OF
this crime. Charge it to booze.

The Sugar Planters and the Tariff

The Sugar Planters and the Iarllf
In referring to the advices from
Washington that President Wilson
and the Democratic leaders in the
House of Representatives have is
sued an ultimatum to the represen-
tatives of the sugar industry to the
effect that if the sugar interests
would consent to an immediate re-
duction of Is per cent in the sugar
duties and would cease opposition
to free sugar, the taking effect OF
the free sugar provision would be
delayed for three years, says:
"There never was a more cold
blooded and unfair proposition. The
sugar producers are plainly tole
that unless they accept free sugar
within three years, that respite be-
ing allowed them to get out of the
sugar business and seek some more
profitable employment, they viii
face immediate and certain ruin.
This heartless proposition is g
direct violation platform, on which
President Wilson was elected. The
platform declares against any such
radical revision of the tariff as will
destroy or irreparably cripple any
American industry. That Mr.. Will
son and his advisers are now willing
