We have some burglars TO try this
m0rning, Judge" And looking around

set Judge Lindsey to thinking, the re-
suit being the present juvenile system

In his lectures he touches many
phases of the problems of the diy re-

business and professional men and
manufacturers from all points along
the Ohio river.
Object of Meeting.
The prime object Of the association
is TO secure additional appropriations
for the development of the Ohio river
slackwater system. This is a highly
important move, due 10 the tremen
dous opposition it has been receiving
from powerful interests in certain OF
the larger cities. Particularly is this
true Of the railroad interests, which
have waCed bitter warfare against
every appropriation that has been
made for the Ohio river and IFS tribu'
taries The railroad interests main
tain that The development OF the Ohio
river is not worth while.
During the past several years the
government has spent ten million dol
lars in the Improvement OF the river
and the commercial bodies and towns
bordering on the stream contend that
it would be folly al this tiCe to allow
the work TO go undone. Hence the
+ meeting has been called.
Commercial Bodies to Meet
AS there will be largo number OF
secretaries and other officials repre-
senting commercial bodies along the
Ohio valley, a meeting OF these Off
GERS will be held early this evening

Madison Journal: The reform bills have

the General Assembly is not careful some
of these bills will get by.
Opelousas Enterprise: This common
wealth is politically democratic to the core,
but that fact does not confer upon the rec
ognized leaders and the trainers of the laws
any license to play fast and loose with the
underlying principles of democracy and
infringe upon the rights Of the sovereign
people under the guise of democracy. Such
a move attempted under the thin veneer of
strengthen the party.
The Oberlin News thinks loyalty to the
people should come first. 1t says: Now
a-days one reads about loyalty to party,
but nothing relating to loyalty to the peo-
pie who elected the men to office. One
would naturally suppose that those men
who have been singled out from their fell
lows as worthy of their trust and cofidence
would try to prove themselves loyal to the
community and parish to whom they are
indebted for preferment.
Lake Charles Americana Press: Repre-
resentative Aswell has made an assault on
the Federal Treasury in behalf of bunch
of contractors, who, it is claimed, carried
the mails for time after the outbreak of
the war and were not paid for it. The
claims in Louisiana and Mississippi total
$4,000, much of which goes to the heirs
and assigns Of sundry railroads. The
claims of the individuals run down as low
as $3.50. When a man allows doubtful
debt Of $3.50 to rankle in his mind for
fifty six years, he ought to get the money
whether it is owing to him or not.
