A Fool Killer Needed.

In watching the proceedings of
state legislatures, town councils.
and public assemblages in general,
one is often struck at the utter
lack of common sense displayed
by many men in official life, who
by their silly actions father bills
which become objects of ridlcu'e
for the public. One is often led
to believe that more fools than
wise men fill our law making
branches of government. I'm this
line of observation comes the
recent announcement of a health
commissioner of New jersey
town that next month he will
introduce an ordinance in the
Health Board regulating the
distance women's dresses shall be
from the ground. We presume
his next move will be to say how
tight ladies' corsets shall be worn,
and so on ad infinitum.
This New Jersey reformer says
his measure will be enforced.
How he proposes to carry out the
enforcement is not explained We
imagine it will be fun to see the
New Jersey maids and matrons
stopped on the street while their
petticoats are being measured.
Some will no doubt keep their
temper while the tape line is being
used, but .'there are others" with
whom the exactions will not find
favor. The inspecsor while on
Bonded knees trying to read the
length the garment registers. may
receive a crack over the head with
a parasol and in less time than it
takes to tell it the offended
woman will call to her rescue an
enraged husband, an.angry broth
er or some sympathizing friend
will enter serious protest against
further inspection. We are glad
it is not our lot i'm life to carry
out this fools proposed ordinance.
We would not have the job at any
price.-Mer Rouge Democract.

Happily Reunited.

no secret about it; that lands
were like people-they must be
fed if you expect them to yield
well. He says he never plants
the same crop two years in sue
cession on the same land, and
never sells his cotton seed. The
seed Capt. Moore says are worth
moor to him as fertilizer than he
could get for them by selling.
Land this year that he planted IN
cotton, next year he will plant in
corn and peas, and the land that
he had in corn and peas this year
he viii put in cotton next year.
By this rotation he says he gets
the best results. and by using his
cotton seed as fertilizer he finds
that the land gets better every
year. For fifty years Captain
Moore has been farming and this
is the only year he has ever had
to buy corn. This was caused by
the excessive rains last year and
overflow of Big Black. This year
he has made an abundance of
corn, which he values at not less
than 81 bushel in his crib.
With four mules this year Cap
tain Moore made thirty bales of
cotton, besides his food crops.
There is no business that pays so

BY the last name in the above
heading we do not mean George
Washington; we mean Booker
Washington, the Alabama negro
who President Roosevelt invited
to dine with him at the White
House. Teddy and Booker seem
to be great cronies. One is ac-
cidentaIly president of the United
States and the other is president
of an odoriferous negro school in
Alabama. Teddy has family of
children to educate and he prob
ably desires to place them under
Booker's care and invited Booker
round ssto dinner" to see how
1.-THE kids" would like him. Ted
dy's eldest daughter was not at
home and he arranged for her TO
sit next to Booker at a dinner in
New Haven. Doubtless the pres
ident wants his daughter TO see
how she likes .'old man. Booker
before she gets chance TO accept
or reject one of the young Bookers
as a husband. The country has
not learned how the Teddy family
is satisfied with its new neighbor
or how soon the families will
begin to exchange visits. or
whether Teddy has. decided to
place his. kids in t be negro school.
President Roosevelt's attempt
to place himself on an equality
socially with the negro does not
concern THE SENTINEL. 1t is not
afraid of such turn of affairs in
the South. The people of the
South will never willingly submit
to social equality with the negro
aud all the Roosevelts and others
of negro-loving disposition need
not try to force such condition
upon us. If Roosevelt desires to
croney with the negro the people
of the South are willing for him
to do so. They have about nine
million negroes they would be glad
to send up to him, if he can find
a use for them in placing them
in the homes of white people as
special guests or as the father or
mother to the children of white
people. If Roosevelt or any one
else have sisters, aunts or
daughters which they would like
to see ''tied up with a negro.
they may send pictures of them
and the Southern people will send
them a good buck negro guaran-
teed to fulfill all the requirements

We agree with the Daily States
that the American missionary so
cieties should send men, instead
of women, to those countries
where the Kidnapping business
fiourishes as in Bulgaria for
instance. Certainly everything
should be done to rescue Miss
Stone from the hands of the
brigands. Human life is not to
be measured by dollars and a
mere pecuniary consideration
should not be permitted to stand
in the way of Miss Stones liberia
ton. But this affair should teach
the American societies the folly
of sending cultured women to
semi-barbarous countries, where
they may become the prey of
lecherousb rutes. Our views may
not be in accord with those of
the orthodox believer, but we

The Dodson Times comes at us
again with a lengthy editorial and
discusses the money matters of
the newspaper business. 1t has
not made matters any better than
at first even if it did give our
business a thorough airing through
its columns. 1t tries to show
that we spent a lot of money in
getting a printing outfit and that
the money was carried out of the
country. This we admit, but if
we al! should have done rs the
Times is doing there would be no
property of any kind in this
country. If we should use ma
chinery located in other states,
get the necessities of life from
farms located elsewhere, get our
reading matter from other states,
and exist entirely upon the
products of other states, this par
ish would be no. comparison to
"Job's turkey The Times
theory will not work. Our print
ing material was purchased and
located here and helps to consti-
tute the value of the country. 1t
manufactures different kinds of
printed stationery and sells it to
other people who come here after
it. 1t brings money into the
country while the Times gathers
the money and sends it away.
To show the difference in the
value to the parish of the two
| establishments we will say THE
SENTINEL outfit cost $1,000 and as
the Times has no outfit it is valued
at nothing. There is difference
already of $1,000 in our favor.
The Times says it gets its sheets
printed for $40 per month which
amounts to $3.50 per year, this all
leaving the parish to pay for the
work which is done at Vicksburg.
As THE SENTINEL has its printing
done at home the cost for printing
cuts no figure in the present cal
culation, but the cost for paper,
which we are obliged to buy out
side the parish, is the only item
to be counted except the original
purchase price. The paper costs
SIS per month or $3.50 per year.
This subtracted from the Times
paper bill leaves a balance of $500
that the Times has gathered up
and shipped off in the course of
a year and it possesses nothing of
value that can be assessed and
made to pay taxes for the support
OF the country while THE SENTr-
MEL pays $50 or $40 taxes, which
is a reasonable interest on the
money that was used in the pur-
chase price, and tins interest goes
to the parish government.
All this may not be interesting
to our readers, but the Times
came at us with figures and we
feel it our duty to reply with
figures. And, though the Times
may not think so, we believe we
have the favorable figures. THE
SENTINEL is a permanent enter
prise. 1t consists of too much
property to admit suspension
while the Times can suspend any
minute with no expense or trouble.
All the Times has to do to suspend
is to cancel the order for paper
and throw its waste basket into
the back yard-or hang it on a
stump! THE SENTINEL's plant
pays the parish an annualrevenue
while the Times pays ''nary
cent"

turned adrift. The horse rushed IN
mad fury and dropped down dead in
the Ukraine, where Mazeppa was re-
leased by Cossack family. who nurs-
ed him carefully in their own hut. In
time he became secretary to the het-
man and ut the death Of the prince
was appointed his successor.
Peter much admired his energy Of
character and created him prince of the
Ukraine. but in the wars With Sweden
Mazeppa deserted to Charles MI and
fought against Russia Mt the battle Of
Poltava. After the loss of this battle
Mazeppa fed to .valenti1 and then to
