hot on the trail of the trust, with determna- ton to bust it. The government had and still has a cinch on the beast. Having thus ascer- tained that the trust was robbing the people, the President by virtue of the power vested in him by the law put his foot down. and penderously an- nounced that the government would not pay more than two and one half cents pound. More over. the president told the trust that as much paper as the government needed would have to be forthcoming. and the price of paper for the government was fixed. We assume that the gov ernn,ent is fair: that it is paying the trust as much as it is entitled to: which means that the trust is making fair profit at two and one half cents pound for paper.
 Now if the government is fair with the trust, why isn't it fair with all the users ef that kind of paper? Why didn't the President set the price for everybody instead of allowing the trust to exact six and one half cents which We are paying now? It's funny thing. but might is right, even with the government, apparently.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
Algiers. La, March 4, OIL.
Editor Algiers Herald:


Editor Algiers Herald:
Dear Sir-I want to add a word of
commentator for the campaign being
carried on to reduce the cost of cross
ing the ferries. There is no doubt
about the sincerity of the men who
are behind the movement, and they
deserve the unstinted support Of every
citizen of the Fifth District who has
the interests of his home and district
at heart. Algiers is much closer to
Canal street than most of the districts
over the river, and it seems to me that
with nominal ferry rates our town
would double in size in less than ten
years and property values would in
crease accordingly. | believe that IL
the ferry rates were reduced consid-
erably the town would grow so big
that it would soon be necessary to sell
couple of more franchises. Let the
good work go on.
ONE OF THE BOOSTERS.
