fered to sell this territory to
the United States for $5,000,-
600 but the transaction was
blocked through the fact the
upper house in the Danish par
Lament refused to ratify the
transaction.
There is now a report to the
effect that labor trouble on the
islands has caused the Danes
considerable bother with the
result tentative offers have
been made to dispose of the
possessions at the same price
named in 1902.
One reason it would be adj
visable for the United States
to own or control these islands
is the fact they are on the
route to the Panama canal and
we desire to have control OF
the sea approaches to the big
waterway.
It is good strategy for this
country to own or protect is
lands anywhere near our coast
The ownership of the faraway
Philippines is poor strategy be-
cause of the difficulty of de-
Tending them.

commercialize these great
president-making bodies, why
not commercialize them thor

With seats selling at from
$50 to 5000 each the advice to
Chicago to "commercialize
thoroughly" seems a bit super
fluous. Nor is it probable ST.

"Those who subscribed a

knowedgement in an assign
ment of convention tickets for
their personal use. Such a
courtesy is in accordance with

will place a large amount Of
convention tickets on public
sale at from $50 to 5000 or
more a ticket. Chicago ex-
poets in this way to recoup the

much of it will be available for

THIRST AND PARRY

From time immemorial one battle cry
in the sixth congressional district -resorted
to by the candidates, has been that 1.-The
administration is backing the other fellow. ("
The issue has been sprung by Mr.. Ponder
that the appointments Of the governor in that
district are being made with the view of
aiding the candidacy Of ex-governor Sanders.
The friends Of Governor Pleasant and
OF ex-governor Sanders generally being
Identical it is lard to see how the Governor
could make appointments without establish
ing some grounds for such a charge. On
the other hand, it is not comprehensive that
such fine opportunity to make political
capital out Of such a natural condition
should be passed up by the opposing candi-
date. Mr.. Ponder the present opponent Of
Mr.. Sanders has expressed an abiding faith
in the wisdom and independence of the
voters of the district and in the evenC that
he gets left at the polls-a habit which he
has-Wa feel sure that such distressing re-
suit will not be laid to the reckless driving
OF the steam roller.

every voter will help put chucks before its
wheels rather than see it fatten out one

TICK VIOLATION

of this Parish there vas strenuous complaint
about the violation Of the tick ordinances of
this parish.
The Police jury showed a disposition &c
use drastic means to enforce these require
mentS now so necessary to protect the grow
ing business Of stock raising.
The jury was more pronounced in this
view of the matter for the reason that the
bill passed at the last session by Senator
Norris Williamson will make dipping COM
pulsory throughout the state, and il would
seem foolish to permit owners Of cattle from
parishes to reintect Madison, and
place on us the burden of again putting up
expenses to secure a clean bill OF health.
Mr.. Williamson is entitled TO the thanks
of his entire constituency Tor the activity he
in mrking a law on this subject
1t would be foolish indeed to allow
Madison to become again infected with ticks
when the relief furnished by the bill is 50

the violatols and every citizen should aid in
the prosecution of the culprits.

THE STATE JUDICIARY

The failure of the Legislature to enact
a bill providing the adjustment of the state
Judiciary is disappointing to the Louisiana
Bar Association, by whom the desired
changes were being fostered. There had
been framed carefully the plan for the re-
organization of the Judiciary, which could be
accomplished only by an amendment TO the
constitution OF the state. From the very
beginning of the Legislative session there
was pronounced opposition to the plan con-
templated. 1t was evident that the law
markers had determined on making haste
slowly" and it was equally apparent that
the majority had their 'earS to the ground"
and were not encouraged by the reports
which reached them. There rests through
out the state an indefinite understanding of
what is desired practically and in opposition
to the reorganization. Shreveport Cauca-
sian.
1t is clear that the people as well as the
lawyers do not desire any material change
IN the Judiciary system Of the state.
About the only complaint of the pres
ent system IS that some Of the judges are
oVerworked and that some have not enough
work.
This can be remeded by redlstricting
and will not require any radical changes in
the general plan.
:ne reason for the apathitic attitude of
the last general assembly can be found in
the desire to steer away from uncertain and
indefinite plans.
The policy to let well enough alone in
this matter seems the part Of wisdom.
Had the leaders, interested in economy.
given more thought to redistricting it is
'2sslble that results may have been differ
