Still no PROGRESS.

The Probe Commission is in session at
Alexandria this week and has under con-
sideration the district courts. The same
differences of opinion held by different
lawyers has developed there as has charac-
terized other sessions of the Board. The
Commission is making strong efforts to find
two lawyers who agree as to just how the
courts of the State should be re-organized.
Under the circumstances it will be hard for
the Commission to make progressive" and
constructive recommendations on the
subject. The question of the organization
of the court, and the regulation of the costs
of litigating in the same, constitute subjects
that have worried more august bodies than
the Probe Commission, and some doubt
must be entertained as to whether any val
liable results are to flow from their exami-
nation in these matters. About the only
thing so far accomplished is the dissemina-
ton of the belief that there's something
radically wrong with the present system. 1t
is true that this belief will be confined to
those who know nothing about these sub
jects, but they constitute large majority of
the people. The Commission has thus accom-.
plished via. twas expected to accomplish.

Hide not thy Light.

Col. r. G. Pleasant needs no introduction to
the masses of Louisiana. He has made no cOmbi-
nation with any particular set expects, when
ready to announce himself for Governor, to make
his appeal to the people who elect all candidates
The foregoing from the Pontchatoula
Democrat indicates that Louisiana is soon
to have her first Governor, to be elected
without any combination with any particu-
lar set. The assiduous boosting that has
been showered on Colonel Pleasant might
have given the appearance that his candl-
dacy was backed by some ring or combina-
ton, but the utterances of the esteemed
Democrat dispel any such hallucination, and
henceforth his candidacy is to be regarded
as result of harmonious spontaneous
eruption of public sentiment We trust,
however, that Colonel Pleasant will not per-
nit official activities to prevent his taking
some interest in the ensuing campaign, and
we advise that he keep the kindly beam Of
one eye, at least, on the boys who have
heretofore played some part in the making
of Governors. We would not have him
seem solicitous in connection with this high
Office, but we think it best that he appear
not entirely Indifferent in the matter. Some
members of the Press should see to it that
he is aroused to the opportunities presented.

sETTlE.uP WEEK.

West have had a "settle-up day."
and merchants and customers say
it's fine. The first "settle-up
day" was held at WaukOn, Iowa,
in December. The Waukon mer-
chants organization entered OH
the plan after two weeks OF
thorough advertising in the news
papers and i'm bill distributed
from house to house and farm to
farm in the surrounding country.
They then mailed statements to
all their patrons, especially those
in Arrears, calling their attention
to the approach of 'settle-up
week" and detailing the plan of
the merchants. p. -
The merchants announced, that
they had notified all wholesalers
and jobbers with whom they
traded of their intention to use
the money paid to them by their
patrons to pay bills against them
in the hands of the wholesalers,
as wellas all other bills outstand-
ing in the Waukon community |;
and, IN fact, about half of the
money taken in by the merchants
was paid out to factories and pro-
ducers in and about Waukon.
The week did not open very
propitiously for the plan, but
when two days had passed nearly
500 bills were counted paid. 1t
was estimated that there were
about $500 outstanding bills.
BY Wednesday of that week the
paying movement was under full
Roadway, and the campaign was
so pushed that merchants were
enabled to remind the backward
debtor with a minimum of Of

were signs posted throughout the
city, and the query was picked
up widespread by the citizens
applied with as much freedom as
the Have You Registered To-
day?" query of pre-primary poll
tics. -;. -
The general run Of tie citizens
responded without difficulty to
the plan, but the slow-paying
debtors had to he Jared repea-
teddy. The merchants mailed ont
a bill every day to EACH of their
customers who owed accounts of
long standing. The bills were
mailed out on bill heads of the
merchants organization bureau

citizens could thrash out Their
differences with any merchant
over any bill the sm0dnt, terms
or existence of which they dis.

Go Slow.

There are great many men in the
State who do not share the belief that all
our state institutions are poorly organized
or that the State is being run under a sys-
tenn grown obsolete and chaotic. On the
contrary, we believe that Louisiana has. a
system of laws far ahead of any state in the
in the Union; that these laws are fairly we'll
administered by men both capable and
honest. We therefore feel no sympathy
with the effort now being made to convince
the people that things are all wrong. We
are perfectly willing to let matters stand,
and to take time to slowly and systematic
ally work out improvements and final per-
lection of the different branches of govern
ment. In fact, we believe that the most
dangerous thing in the world is to attempt
great and radical changes. Systems of gov
eminent reach perfection by slow process
of evolution. For this reason the more con-
sentative element will be very slow in sub
scribing to the movement now being in
taugurated to turn every thing upside down,
under the claim that an improved system OF
laws will be given to the people. Our pres.
ent constitution and laws Hereunder were
drafted by men who were at least the peers
of any men now prominent in public life,
and it is not reasonable to suppose that THEN
work can be improved upon to any great
extent. The grounds for wholesale changes
have not yet been pointed out, though some
of the State papers would have us believe
that the need is an established fact.

Notwithstanding the activities reported
from all sections involved in the great war,
yumors of an early peace are current, and
there is growing belief that the strife will
be over before fall. Laying aside all other
questions it would appear that if the losses
OF Germany and Austria are as great in
proportion :luring the ensuing four
months as they have been during the
past six months, it would seem impos-
possible for these belligerants to continue
the fight much longer. The loss of three or
four. more million men would certainly make
> formidable reduction of the fighting force
|cf the German Alliance. It is reasonable to
oppose, in view of the preparations being
made, that the losses in spring engagements
Will be largely in excess of the losses here
lofore suffered and it is not easy to see
where the Germans can get new men to
70 take the place of those who will have
BEEN lost.
