Three Cruisers Destroyed.

The most important item of war news
during the week was that Of the destruction
of three German cruisers by feet under
command Of Admiral Sturdee The er:-
gagement occurred near the Horn in South
American waters and removed from action
three vessels that had worked great damage
to the shipping interest Of the allies. Thus
the seas have bean cleared of the only YES
sells that were a menace to shipping and as
a result there has been marked reduction
in insurance rates. The sure, but certain,
clearing of the seas of of German vessels
will be powerful stimulus to the cause Of
the allies, and will 60 long way toward
re-establishing confidence in America. The
.klr,ewledge that we can, in the future, ex-
pect free outlet ct fer e1lg Surplus products
and consequent resumption OF Wocfst trade ees
will produce more cheerful view. The
day is not far distant when Germany will
be forced to put her fleet to sea and meet
her enemies, or take the chances Of being
starved out. The great war will be ended
through famine rather than through force
of arms. Any engagement that promises a
means to the end will be thankfully received.

The LeVeeS and the Pork Ba rreE.

There has developed, in recent years,
strong sentiment favoring the separation
from kindred projects the scheme of TIE
improvement of the levees of the Missis-
sippi river. The "pork barrel" system of
appropriations heretofore followed by cor
gress has aroused opposition and those in
terested in levees have advocated the d.
vorcement of the levees from the general
appropriation. Any attempt on the part Of
the leaders in congress to force such segre-
cation would be bold, if not dangerous
stroke. The attitude Of congressman and
the vague expressions of President Wilson
do not warrant the assumption that the
government is willing to undertake the
building Of levees as permanent project.
Until more definite policy is apparent it
does not seem wise for southern represen-
satives to urge the adoption of levee pro-
jects on their merits. The pork barrel sys-
TEN may be bad, but it viii be wise to held
with the members who have the power to
man pulate it, until we are assured of fair
treat nent under other plans. In view Of
the scant assistance that we have been re-
ceiving from the national government our
repre- ;entat;ves can afford to sacrifice lite
prime; Re for material betternent Anv way
re VII expect them to play the political
me to the extent of getting into the pork
b Pei whenever it is O; enel.

ANOTHER OUTRAGE.

With pain we learn that Editor
&. V. Kraft, Of the Algiers
Herald, through which the town
across the river is kept informed
of such events as the birth of
twins, was robbed of IS and some
ferry tickets, Saturday night by
a bun glar, who entered his house.
But in our anguish we do not
wish to lose sight Of the larger
aspects of.the case, i. O., to-wit,
namely and as follows:
How was the burglar informed
that Editor Kraft had SIS?
Are there underground news
channels by which any thief can
learn when an editor has been
paid by a subscriber?
Are our editors forever to be
watched and spied upon by crooks
and stripped Of fortune every
time luck smiles upon their pens.
Nor can we wholly excuse DR..
Kraft, even in our intense COM
miseration over his misfortune
Knowing that such a sum of
money in TIE house, why didn't
he notifysthee police and have
guard set? ."..
Why didn't he put it in a bank
protected by a detectives ass",
citation, and time locks?
The incident further serves tC
illustrate the degeneracy Of the
times.
Can it be that there is no longer
honor among thieves? Time was
when no thief with a shred OF
self-respect would rob an orphan,
widow. ii blind man or an edi-
tor.
Can 1T be that war has so hard
ened the world as this?
We are glad however, to learn
by the presence of ferry tickets
in the EDITORS pockets, that DR.,
Kraft still crosses to New Or.
leans and takes a kindly interest
in this little suburb of his OWL
city.
1t is also matter of pride tC
us as member of the fourth
estate, to learn that u brother
editor, dear to us, has been able
t, accumulate enough of this

The Legislative Probe Commission ha

The Legislative Probe Commission has
about concluded its investigation Of the
ate bond sale and will next take up the
aft tirs of the Tensas Levee Board. The
net result of the examination in the bond
ma ter can be summed up in few words:
That Governor Hall was negligent in de-
laying the call for the Constitutional Con-
vention and that the New Orleans bankers
were in pool to hold up the state for a
fair rake-off in marketing the state bonds.
These facts were known all the time We
hope that the Commission will handle mat
tiers in the other boards with the same ex-
petition, and that the public will soon forget
the unnecessary wrangle.
