Byron at Cstend.


From the London Chronicle.
Ostend will be searched in vain for
any building older than yesterday. for
the battles and sieses of the distant
past have made a clean sweep of all
her relics Yet at one time Ostend
was a great fortress looking out over
the North sea through her iaenacing
loophole upon the sails of Vikings. A
century ago Byron made his memoir
able flight, not from, but to Ostend, in
terror of vandal bailiffs who were lay
ing siege to his mansion in Piccadilly.
The poet made the journey to Dover
in his magnificent $500 coach. but had
to wait until a storm abated before
the mail packet felt il safe TO set sail.

SWAT THE FIRST FLY.

The most seasonable medical
subject is the house fly and the
dangers it brings. From an arti-
Gle in the journal of the Ameri-
can Association the advantage Of
fly fighting is forcefully shown:
Two similar districts in New
York were chosen for expert
mentation last summer. In one
the fly was permitted the usual
facilities for it's disease-carrying
abilities. In the other district
windows were screened, f1y-traps
We're distributed, and juveniles
We're presented with swatters,
which they welded industriously.
The proportion of illness was as
one to three, and the duration Of
illness in the unrestricted fly dis
trict 70 per cent. greater.
The experiment is but one of
many that scientists vouch for.
The data secured offer over
whelmine evidence Of the affinity
between disease and the fly. 1t is
evident that all Of us must CO.
operate in dealing to the fly the
fate Of the mosquito in Panama.
Flies never travel more than
a city square from the place oil
their nativity under their own
power. If they get farther than
400 feet from their birthplace
they are carried by storm or
hauled in a vehicle in which there
is food. Therefore, if the wiver,
CT a neighborhood determine to
rid it Of flies they can, almost

TAXING EVERY MANS
INCOME.

Income tax legislation is pop
ular with those only whose in
comes are exempt. In this coun-
try there has been no popular
demonstration against the new
tax on incomes, for the simple
reason that the exemption has
been placed So high that only a
small proportion of the population
are affected by it. In Great Bri:
tain property taxes-income tax,
death duties and stamp duties
have overshadowed all older
forms of taxation, and have be-
come the backbone Of the ma
tional finance. While the exemp-
ton in Great Britain is far be-
low what it is in the United
States. desire is being shown
there to secure a more equitable
graduation of taxable incomes.
Premier Asquith has pointed out
the urgent need to broaden the
basis of the income tax and to
remove its anomalies, and a re-
port has been made to the For
eign Office on graduated income
taxes in the other countries OF
Europe. In some Of the German
states the exemption limit is as
low as 800. In Prussia the two
lower grades of taxable incomes.
with exemptions at 1925 and $500
include 81 per cent. Of the tax
able population. "All exemptions
of small incomes should be abol-
ished" says The Annalist, in re.
viewing the British income tax,
"and the tax should-as in
Germany-be imposed upon man
ual workers.. This is the only
logical outcome of the principle
of income tax legislation. With
our present high exemption we
are far from it in the United
State. but if We are to keep the
tax upon oud statute books we
shall eventually have to follow
the example of Germany and 9TH
err powers. as Great Britain may
soon do. in making everyone a
participant in the tax, however
small the income or however
nominal the tax.-Ex.

STATE SUPREME COURT.

A bill has been introduced in
the Legislature-or several bills
looking toward a change in the
Supreme Courts makeup and to-
ward other changes in the jul
dicial system Of Louisiana. The
Bar Association at its recent
advocated various changes in the
workings of the Supreme Court,
hut we have seen no full account
Of the plan proposed. 1t ap-
pears that some members of the
bar Association thought the in
creasing of membership from five
members to seven would enable
thu present overworked (?) court
10 catch up with the docket.
Other members contended that an
increase in members would
only aggravate the trouble,
For one great point which all
awyers and litigants agree upon
that every decision should be
he result of the opinion of the
whole court, and not merely the
opinion of one judge. In other
words. instead of the presen.
method of dividing up the work
between them every justice must
consider each case. But OBJ
Eiously, if that is the object the
fewer justices the better, and
adding more justices will only
make the machine slower. Good
hess knows it is slow enough now.
md some people suspect that a
OF of the slowness is chargeable

bald officials, which, in common
barlance, is called laziness, if this
umble and unlearned scribe may

abric has become topheavy, and
OF only the laws, but more par

nnumerable motions and trivial
omplaints that now burden the
upreme ourt should be dona

the Whit of a breeze to disturb
the political calm that his set
tied over the Third District.
This appeal Of the Louisiana
Progressives it is we'll to note,
comes from men who have al
ways affiliated with the Nationa
Republican party, and who be-
came Progressive with Theodore
Roosevelt when the Republican
Convention refused to accept
him as it's candidate.
These Progressive leaders are
qualified to speak to Republicans,
but they cannot expect Democrats
to follow their advice in matters
affecting our party and politics
We certainly have our duly 'ac-
credited and representative lead
ers who are holding responsible
positions at the capital of the
nation, who are the ones to point
out the course for us to follow.
Let us not be swayed by the first
appeal. especially when it comes
from those who have always be-
longed to a different fate from
ours. Let us wait the coming of
our true party leaders; we will
then be in better position to
act.

SOUTHWEST REFLECTIONS.

About the biggest thing that
has happened in Southwest Lou
isiana in years was the Drainage
Conference last week.
Size isn't the important ele-
ment of bigness; bulk and avoir-
dupois are not correct indicators
Of real greatness. To illustrate
Some of the most pitfully small
men have girths of fifty inches
and weigh three hundred pounds.
Likewise, some of the real big
meetings l have known have
numbered only half dozen men,
while meetings which in point OF
attendance numbered ten thou
sand have often been too small
to be detected by the aid of the
most powerful microscope.
Perhaps two hundred men at
tended the Drainage Conference.
but the conference was a great
one because. with few exceptions,
and those were satisfactorily ac-
counted for. the men who were
needed were there. If Won didn t
attend. the loss was yours.
But the conference was only
prelinA nary and You'll have
another chance: so hold yourself
in readiness to respond to the
call Of duty.
The biggest men in Louisiana
men bic not so much in girth
as in brain ever staged IN Louisi-
ara.
You, yourself know that to be
so, for well drained land is the
first essential of successful agrl-
culture.
Now don't get the notion that
this is some selfish reclamation
scheme. It contemplates a COM
prehensive plan to carry off the
water quickly and most effective
ly from every farm in Southwest
Louisiana.
It means money in your peck
cts. It means a greater, health
Ter and richer Southwest Lou
isiana. The conference was pre-
liminary to the real work to be
done. As soon as the committees
have time to tell US what to do
and how to do it we must get
busy again and every man must
be prepared to do his part.
Nav we count upon you to do
yours? Have you kept up with
the whirlwind campaign in the
interest of live stock. which the
Southwest Lorid;ana Develop
ment Bureau waged during the
current week?
Did you observe the caliber of
the distinguished specialists who
gave their time without money
or price, to help build up South
west Louisiana?
Are you going to get into the
game?
