nance ordering a special election in
the Village of Sunset, Parish of st.
Landry, State of Louisiana, upon the
petition of more than one-third of the

puILp INpIAN nnAO ROAD Also.

Little of the winter season now re-
mains aud work will soon begin again
on the State roads already COM
menced in this county. The work
during the last fall was pushed rapid
ly and much accomplished in The
way Of road building in the county
by the State authorities and it Is to
be hoped that work will begin at
least as early as the first Of April and
pushed along in businesslike way
and as rapidly rs possible. Under
an Act of the last legislature spe-
cial appropriation was made for
three counties in Southern Maryland
in which this county shares and some
Of this has already besn spent on The
road leading from Rock Point to Mt,
Republic. Before closing down the
work on this road for the winter
practically all the grading necessary
to be done was completed, hence
when ', ork begins again the State
will have plain sailing. A part Of
this appropriation ooes 10 build a
road from Indian Head TO La Plata.
Other parts Of the county having
gotten taste OF the good roads, we
think that the money being available
contracts should be let NJ once and
work commenced with the opening
CT spring on this road. Indian Head
is live, wide-a wake aud progress
sive town and a good State road
should connect tnat place with the
county seat as soon as feasible, hence
we suggest and urge the State Road''
Commission to let contracts at ono,
for building this road and have worl
commenced on it at the same tim,
work in other sections Of the count,
is commenced.

Nothing better illustrates the dr.
vergence between the conservative
attitude in politicl which stands by
the provisions of the Constitution
and that assertive radicalism v hich
would make the Constitution a thing
to be changed in response to every
Whit OF popular emotion than the
contrasied suggestlveness of FRESH
dent Taft's recent letter to the Yale
News and recent editorial utterance
in Senator La Follette's weekly.
The President expresses the hope
that because Of somewhat extensive
and varied experience gained while
serving in various capacities under
the Constitution, he may, as Kent
professor at Yale, be able to inculi-
cate in young men an appreciation OF
this basic system, and be remarks
that a.his Iced is esq ec.ally
keen in day when that instrument
is regarded so lightly by class of
fanatical enthusiasts seeking short
cut to economic perfection. Tie
Presidents comment was, undoubted
ly, general, 1t had no reference
whatever to the special utterances
of the Wisconsin Senator.
In the editorial referred TO the
Co Institution is referred to as "a code
Of letters and manacles, and it is de-
clared that when it was framed sthe
nature of liberty was not very widely
understood. There is no doubt
whatever that the lectures which
President Taft Will deliver before
bis class at Yale will subserye a
muc'. wider educational purpose than
that Of intoxicating in a hundred or so
young men respect for the Consti-
tuition. His Yale talks ultimately
will each much wider AUDIENCE
And they will do much to set arigh,
popular thinking that may have been
touched by the visionary theories OF
those who believe that 1O0,00O,000
Of people can carry on government
by the town meetinl method.

TnE WORLDS COAL WELD.

The London Board q T, ade has
recently Published comparative state
menis concerning the worlds coal
yield, which, it is to be presumed, are
appr ximately accurate. A number
Of conclusions are to b. drawn from
these figures, which are both obvious
and interesting. The statements ie-
fer to the mining transactions Of
|19lI. The total coal yield for that
year was l,05O,OO,000 tons and the
United States furnished 443000,0 900
Great Britta n, 271,s99,0O0 tons
Germany, 15s,1640O0 tons, With the
remainder scattered over sections Of
the various continents.
One obvious fact Is that the United
States comes pretty close to iroduc.
ing enc half of all the coal mined il
the world Coal is a form Of wealth
next in importance to the food-pro
dacing potentiality Of our farm land
We have here the stored power o
turning the raw material in to b,
manufactured product. HanSAset
aad electrified water poser will pla,
,, a very large part in the industrialisn
of the future; but coal, Il seems likely
will continue to be the main de
pendence.
1t co is much more to get coal t,
the surface in Great Britain an,
siermany than il the United States
The comparative cost Of mising Goa
is stated at an average Of sl.47 pc
ton in this country, s2.06 in Grea
Britain and S2.l4 10 Germany. Til
difference in mining cost is the NOR
remarkable when 1t is considere'
that the wages paid miners in t.,
United States range almost doubl
! the wages paid in Great Britain ,
Germany. Notwithstanding III
q ealer product n, this country
not exporting as much coal as Ger
many even. EnglAnd exports anna
ally 7s,OOO,O0O tens; Germany, %,
100000 tons, and The United State
20 O0O. 900 tons.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There Is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an innamed con-
dition of the mucous lining Of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
infamed you have a Iumbing sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
ana this tube restored TO its normal con-
ditioB, hearing viii be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out OF ten are caused
by Catarrah, which is nothing but an
inaamed condition Of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give one Hundred Dollars for
any case OF Deafness caused by ca

4 SORRY PICTURE OF EVIL.


To the Editor The efforts Of our
distinguished physician, DR.. Howard
A. Kelly, is taxing in the interest Of
purity and against VICE are certainly
eommendable. That man OF DIR.
kelly's fame, who is constantly being
called upon to relieve suffering hu-
manity, should devote SO much Of bis
time 70 the suppression Of The sociai
evil is sufficient to win for the move
nent the support and thanks Of all
decent citizens.
I cannot conceive how anyone can
believe that the existence Of these
immoral houses is essential TO the
welfare Of our fair city. They are
Of 10 more benefit than were the
many carbohydrates which flourish
ed years ago. II we could learn the
life history Of many Of the Young
women that have fallen victims to
this low evil, il would bring tears to
sympathy from the hardest Of hearts.
We would learn thst once the fallen
woman was a. pure as an infant, liv-
| ing under good conditions and sur
roundings, tenderiy cared for by her
parents, 10 lked upyn with pride aud
admir- ssion by all who knew her; and
then, oh. then a ine came when she
was tenderly wooed. He won her
love, her confidence aud all she bad
10 give, with the glittering prospect
Of soon being joined in wedlock-
But, a as, thar day never came. The
cruel and dishonorable wretch of a
man dropped her as though she were
serpent, leaving her to face the
world with the shame and d sgrace
on her, to be summed aud despised
by relatives and friends-no one to
advise, pity or cate for her. So in
those hours Of her shame aud disgrace
she enters the door Of the evil house;
tat offers her every encouragement

President Taft has performed a
service to the industries of the conn
try by eff ctually preventing the
enactment into law of the immigra-
ton bill that provided a litercay
test. The overriding of the veto in
the Senate and its support in the
House are incidents to the final fate
of the measure that now is dead be-
Yond resurrection in this Congress.
The regret Of Mr.. Taft in taking
the action was induced by his regard
for some features Of the bill A
literaey test is not test of intelli-
gence and certainly has nothiI g to
do with the degree of efficiency with
which the PICK and shovel can be
handled by the unskilled laborers
who alone are found in the illiterate
applicants for admission into this

cost of living, and 10 dig its bitches

THOSE POST ROADS.

What with It's rural delivery ser
vice and now the parcel post expar-
sion Of its mail delivery business, it ia
plsinly apparent that the national
goverum, ut must, without much
longer delay, be enlisted in the road
building mo sement Already special
bills are making their appearance
providing for governmental recon-
struction Of certain highways that
will be much in us as postal pack
;aee and rural delivery routes. Con-
gresham Parran, Of the Fiji Mary
land district, last week introduced a
bill calling upon Congress for an ap-
preparation of 100000 for the cor
struetion Of a military pest road be-
tween Annapolis and Washiugto i.
The State Of Marylard has ex-
pended a large amount Of money in
grading and hard surfacicg a road
extending from Baltimore to Wash
|ington. This road is almost Of as
much benefit to the national capital
as to the city Of Baltimore and the
counties through ghic'. it passes
Another half million or so of dollars
could be economically expended in
widening the track of this highway.
It is a highway that will be much
used by The government in the postal
service. Being so near to each other
there is tremendous SWING Of trade
and travel between Baltimore and
The capital.
