NOTICE
On account of the very large amount of work
involved in the preparation of the annual
Christmas edition of the Leader, to which the
editor will have to give his personal attention,
the editorial department of the Daily Leader
for the next fortnight will lie under the direc
tion of Mr. W. A. Steidley, Jr., city editor. Mr.
Steidley has very satisfactorily handled this
work at various times during the absence of
the editor and we are quite sure that readers
of the paper will be pleased with his work.

The Cat and the Fiddle is coming to Orange
next week, but whether.the moon and cow will
be brought along as adjuncts has not yet been
ascertained. It is not essential that the cow
should be brought with the company bearing
the abpve name, as one of the boviues can be
picked up on most any street of the city at most
any old hour. If the company does bring a cow,
we hope she will not be' allowed liberty of Or-
ange streets, for once she gets to eating grass
from the sidewalks it will be a difficult proi>osi-
tion to induce her to give Orange a decent fare-
well. '
It is with regret that the local congregation
of the Methodist church, hears of the appoint
ment of its pastor, Rev. C. J. Oxley, to another
charge the coming year, though they rejoice in
the fact that he has won promotion, which was
well deserved. During his stay in Orange Rev.
Oxley has accomplished much good for his
church and the city generally. Rev. Oxley will
either be stationed at Houston or Jacksonville,
while the local charge will be filled next year
by Rev. L. J. Massey.
There was a man who addfHised but once—
a single time: In spot obscure he placed his ad.
and paid for it a dime. And just because it
didn’t bring him customers by the score
advertising is a fake,” he said, or rather swore.
He seemed to think one hammer tap would
drive n nail dear In; that from a bit of tiny
thread a weaver tents could spin. If be this
reasoning bright applied to eating, doubtless
he—wonld claim one little bite would feed ten
men a century.
Some day, though, he will learn that to make
advertising pay—he’ll have to add ads-, to this
ad. and advertise each day.—New York Sun.
In conjunction with the phrase—‘‘There are
two kinds of people in the world, those that do
not work and newspa|>er men,” it might he well
to add two more classes: Those who have done
something and wnnt their names kept <rtit of the
paper, and those ydio haven’t done anything
worth printing nbont and want their names put
in.
The carnival was a success financially and
the smn of abont $175.00 wa*. realized by the
Ladies’ Civic Club, under whose auspices the
amusement attractions were given. This will
help much towards the improvement of the two
public parks in Orange, which the ladies have
undertaken to place in modem condition for the
benefit of the people of Orange.
A couple of days in which to secure a thous-
and dollars as the remainder of the fund neces

little concerted action the citizens of Orange
should have no trouble in securing this amount

Highway Construction
Washington, D. C., Dec. 1.—Ixtgan
Waller Page, director of the Office of
Public Hoads of the United States de-
partment of agriculture, who !was
uamed by President Roosevelt as head
of the American Commission to the
[recent International roads congress
at Paris, returned to Washington a
few days since, firm In the belief
that In some of the more scientific
branches of highway construction the
United States has nothing to learn
from the Older Nations, though he was
willing to concede that those* coun-
tries surpass this to a namazing de-
gree In the percentage of Improved
road mileage and In the jealous care
with which their spelndid highways
are maintained.
Among the many things which e#
peclally Impressed Mr. Page during
this European trip were the methods
for regulating automobile traffic In
Prance and England; the belief of a
majority of t,he delegates to the roads
congress that the automobiles running
at average speed are not detrimental
to highways; the splendor of French
hospitality; the discovery that many
miles of very satisfactory highways-
In England have been constructed by
mixing limestone and granite after the
methods set forth In publications'*Is-
sued through the United States office
of public roads, and the amusing di*
mission now being carried on by Bog
ltsh atnomobillsts against horse traf-
fic in city streets and upon suburban
highways.
It Is hi* belief that from the con-
gress Itself at least one big result will
follow—an dcredit for that must go to
America. On a suggestion by Mr.
Page, It was determined to create an
International bureau.of roads, similar
In some respects to the international
bureau of navigation. This body will
consist of two or more delegates from
each of the i’ll governments roiwesent-
ed at the congress Its purpose will
No better macadam roads are built
In France than can be and are built
in this country, but the maintaining
of tbes roads Is attended to with the
utmost care, and for that reason the
highways are Invariably In such splen-
did condition that they excite the envy
of American visitors.
Prior to his arrival at Paris, Mr.
Page spent some days in England lu
the company of some of the famous
highway engineers of the empire, ex-
amining r ads throughout England. It
Is his belief that England has arrived
as near to the solution of dustleas
roads—£ju* present day problem of all
highway engineers—as any nation.
Her engineers have given the use of
bituminous materials for spraying
macadam roads hie utmoost thought
and care. Spraying highways with
such materials after science has been
called to the aid of the Highway build-
er, has q tendency to preserve the so-
lidity of the roads and prevent the
formation of just, and England has
made such progress In this branch of
road study that many miles of sub-
urban roads are as free from the din
ease-breeding dust nuisance as the
best kept streets of the principal cities
of the wqfld.
So firm are the highway scientists
In the demand that these conditions
not merely maintain but improve, that

When the motor car began to come
into use, the teaming interests of the
world were strong. They berated the
automobile In unmeasured terms;
said that It was a menace to the
public and to the horse; that it endan

every argument against it that from

Since Louisiana State University football

The incorporation of a company with a capi-

sunken logs in the Sabine river comes as pleas-
ing nvyes to the citizens and mill men of < Irange.
The Brown Burt company started out to float
raised logs to the mills by means of barrel rafts,
but this scheme was found impracticable, and
it was found to lie a lietter proposition to pur
chase a pull-boat and go after the sunken logs
in that manner and float them to the mills by
regular log rafts. Already the promoters have
successfully raised more than 200,000 feet of
sunken logs anti floated them to the mills, and
their determination to stick to the work shows
the intention of continuing a work that will re-
cover many thousands of dollars of timber from
the bottom of the .Sabine river. The young men
behind the enterprise are deserving of succeaa
and the Leader joins with local mill men in
wriahing it for them.

Extraordinary precautions arc being taken
in view of possible hostile demonstrations to-

court at an early hour and she will be kept
