GA Tuesday President Wilson
personally laid before joint ses
sion of Congress the fundamental
principles of the Democratic adj

for legislation were:
1.-Effectual prohibition of the
interIocking directorateS of great
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES, railroads, in
dustriaI, commercial and public
service bodies.
"a law to confer upon the IN
terstate commerce commission the
mower to superintend and regulate
the financial operations by which
railroads henceforth are to be sup
piled with the money they need
for their proper development and
improved transportation facilities.
The president made it clear that
''the prosperity Of the railroads
and the prosperity of the coun-
try are inseparably connected" in
this regard.
3.-Defnition of the many
hurtful restraints of trade" by
explicit legislation supplementary
to the Sherman law.
Clearing" Commission
A. The creation of a commits
sion to aid the courts and to act as
a clearing house of information III
helping business to conform with

uals responsible for unlawful bus
mess practices.
6.-Prohibition of holding com
plnies and a suggestion that thu

ling shares in numerous CORPORA
tions might be restricted.
7.-Giving to private indlvld
uals the right to found suits fol

Dear Editor:
The resolutions of the Faculty
of the Normal School proposing a
celel r ton of the 1.-TWO Hun
dredth anniversary of the found
ing of Natchitoches." published in
your last weeks issue was read
with much interest as it is a sub
iect in which I have taken much
interest and have felt that we have
been too tardy IN our attention to
the history of this old town. But
where is the authority for this
year being the two hundredth
anniversary"9 / have delyed
much into the history of Louisiana
and specially Of Natchitoches but
| / have failed to find when the
settlement, or town was founded, )"
my reading and Investigations cause
me to conclude that it was long
before two hundred years ago"
and there is much to cause one
| to believe that the first settlers"
were some of the followers of M.
de la Sale and Chevalier de Tonti,
who attempted trip from Quebec
to Mexico in 1879, or as Prof.
Ficklin in his stories from Lou
isiana History" intimates that
some of the followers of DeSoto,
who after his death in May 1912,
attempting to return to Mexico.
''They came to the province and
tribe of the Natchitoches, and
halted at that village, situated IN
the same spot as the City of Nat
chitoches to-day" 1t is pretty
we'll authenticated that St. Denis
came here in August 100, having
been sent here by Bienville, tic
see that the Spaniards we're moi
encraaching upon French terri
tory" The French post was Their
already long established here.
But let's not get into a contro
versv. but let's all get together
and hold the celebration, in the
meantime let's try and find ouI
exactly what anniversary we art
celebrating. The history of Thu
old town is absorbingly interest
| ing; it is strange that from tn
Importance it seemed to have beer
in the early settlement of thi'
country there is not some mor'
definite date of its settlement.
will be glad to lend any aid in th'
limit of my ability to this work.
