Reflections Of a Bachelor

New York Press
Shrewish tongue is scrpen,s fang.
Sometimes the moth puts out the flame.
Nearly all our Joys nine-te nths inagi
nation.
Widows appeal to men who have a taste
for nusty ale.
Mystery makes exciting rnmancc: solving
it makes dull history.
When two friends understand each other
they can be friends no longer.
You can't make OF one who ism I
simply by putting him in trousers.
We feel shame not for what we have done,
but for what Others know have done.
Half the people in the world are too OPP
timistic and The her half not pcssimis-
tic enough.
1t takes nine tailors to make man, but
if she has money one woman can make nine
dressmakers.
When man apologies to his wife it is a
sign she has been making herself very disa-
greea bile.
woman may not be able love three
men simultaneously, but she make a
strenuous bluff at it.
. When a married man is caught redhand ed
in frtation it is up to his wife to snatch
him bald headed.
You can tell whether she is wearing ma
lures hustle or some other kind by the way
woman sits down.
It's funny how differently woman gets
up her figure for bathing suit from what
she does for an evening gown.

Cheap Teachers.

Education Notes.
1.-The day will come when the
great majority of taxpayers will
pass by cheap teachers as the in
telligent farmer now passes by
inferior stock and seed: as he
would pass by thousand JOLT
wagons or stage coaches to take
the passenger train. In the
meantime, it is the duty of edu-
Gators of clear insight and devo-
ton to cOurageously insist upon
a higher standard-tO do what
they can to place the licensing of
teachers in the most competent
hands,
So says an exchange. This is
true. but that day will not come
until the taxpayers are willing
to pay salaries that will COM
mand good teachers. AS long as
schools are turned over to those
who will teach for the lowest
amount, the opportunities of the
children will continue to be
wasted. The licensing of teachers
should be placed ''in the most
competent hands," but the en-
ployment of teachers should be
placed in hands equally compe-
tent.

Four Things Needed.

Our free schools can never ac-
complish the object for which
they were established, says the
Progressive Farmer, without a
more liberal school tax, giving
us money enough to do all that
money alone can do.
In the second place. we must
have well trained, well paid pro-
fessiOnal teachers.
In the third place, we want
the best possible supervision
such supervision as will secure
unity of plan and concert of
action.
These three factOrs-sufficien
money, competent teachers and
the right kind of supervision
will give US schools capable of
educating the people. And then
we must have in the fourth
place, a compulsory law to COM
pei the attendance of all the
children subject to the schools.

THE CONGRESSIONAL ELECZION.
The Republicans of this dis
triet met at New Iberia last
Saturday and nominated Mr..
w. f. Howell. of LafOurche: as
their candidate for Congress.
The Democrats assembled Mon
day at Napoleonville and renom-
mated Mr.. r. F. BrouSsard. the
present incumbent.
Both nominees are men of
ability: each is young and active
and the voters will no doubt
have an opportunity to hear the
issues of the campaign intelli-
gently discussed.
Though conscious of the hope
lesSneSs of their cause the Re-
publicanS will, we are informed,
make an aggressive campaign,
their intention being to make
a show of strength, to demon
strate, if nothing else, that they
are entitled to the Federal pa
tronage in this State. With Mr..
Howell as their candidate they
will doubtless poll all the votes
that they can reasonably claim,
but We cOncede to them too much
political sense to believe that
they can entertain any hope OF
carrying the district.
The third district is safely
Democratic. and under the
lar leader, Mr.. Broussard, the
Democrats have d lead-pipe, sill
ver-plated cinch.
The only raison d'etre of a
Republican party in this district
has been the desire of the sugar
interests to seek protection
from the e. o. p. The men who
have joined the Repu blican party
and have infused a little life into
it. have done so cOncededly on
account of it's protective tenden-
cies. Protection to sugar has
been their shibboleth and in
their conversion to Republican,
ism they seem to have been ac.
tuated solely by desire to Sc
cure Federal aid for sugar. If
they have detected any virtues
in the Republican party they
have so far failed to disclose
them Their only claim to the
suffrages of the voters of this
district has rested upon the pre-
tended friendliness of the Re
publican party to sugar-and
there's the rub just now.
In the face of the frantic eff
forts recently made by the Re
publican administration to es-
tablish reciprocal tariff relations
with Gu ba, the Republican nOmi-
nee for Congress in this district
will have Il hard time to explain
to the sugar people why they
should vote the Republican ticket
in November. President RoOse-
Welt and nearly all the other in
huential men in the Republican
party are pledged to Cuban re-
ciprocity, the adoption of which
would be death blow to the
sugar industry in louisiana
The sugargrOwerS no doubt
know that if the policy of the
Republican administration had
prevailed at the last session of
Congress, Louisiana sugar would
soon be forced into ruinOus
competition with the Cuban pro-
duct.
AS an alleged friendship for
sugar has been the only Repub-
ican claim to the support of the
people of the third district, in
the light of recent events Mr.
Howell will have no primrose
pat!i to tread in his canvass for
the votes of the dear people.

THE POLL TAX AMEND
NEWT

The Caucasian says the Gaur-
dian Journal of Homer is the
only journal in the State up to
date, aligned without reserve, in
opposition to the poll tax amend
ment. In that case, all the other
journals are right. Rouge
Advocate.
If one sound reason has been
offered in opposition to the poll
tax amendment we have failed to
see it. If the poll tax clause of
the suffrage law has served one
good purpose we have not yet
heard of it. 1t has not increased
the school revenues to any ap-
preciable extent 1t has had Il
tendency to keep voters away
from the polls. and we submit
that that is a most perniciouS
thing to do in a republic. Where
it has disqualified one unworthy
voter. it has DISTINGUISHED two
good citizens 1t has burdened
the suffrage law with additional
red tape. 1t has so confused
matters, that every time a man
wants to know if he is legally en-
titled to vote, he must consult a
lawyer. The Lord knows the
illiterate suffragan has enough
to contend with in the mysteries
of the Australian ballot without
being annoyed by poll tax re-
ceipts.
Once a man is registered the
ballot should be accessible to
him. The suffrage qualifications
should stop at the registration
book. The way from the regis
trar's office to the polls should
be free from all obstacles.
The poll tax amendment should
be adopted, and we believe it
will be if the question is properly
presented to the voters.

Local Taxation for Schools

Those towns and cities land
rural communities that have
adopted local taxation have
adopted the only means at hand
for the adequate education of
their children. In adopting this
principle of local taxation they
secured, first, adequate school
funds: second, competent super
vision: third, skilled teachers
Lacking any one of this educa-
tional trinity no community has
ever yet succeeded in establish
ing the means of complete edu-
cation for its children NORTH

tons where very questionable
methods were used by designing
politicians to suppress the will of
the people?
The Clarion should not blame
the primary system for the
frauds in the seventh district.
Because frauds have been COM
mitted at elections our esteemed
contemporary would surely not
abolish elections. The Clarion
continues:
AS conditions are now, unless a candidate
make, up his mind to steal, Stuh, rob and
| falsifv. he had better stifle his ambi,i' ms
when a district or State primary is ordered.
This is "a terrible arraignment
of the Democracy of the State,
and we believe the genial editor
of the Clarion ought to take it
back. If he insists that with all
the safeguards known to the law
it is impossible to have an honest
primary, he must not believe
that there can be a fair election
in this State. The people can
not be honest in spots. If you
can't have an honest primary,
you can't have an honest cleo
ton. And if it is impossible to
have an honest election, things
are so irretrievably crooked that
the country is going to hell and
it is only question of route.

4 Few Hints to Voters.

Before election day read the law.
Secure sample ballot before 60
ing to the polls
Decide for whom you will vote
before going into the booth.
You will be allowed only ten min
utes in which to prepare your ballot
Stamp the cross Y after the name
for which you vote,
The cross must be made only with
the stamp IN black ink,
Any writing or other markings
will invalidate your ballot.
Fold your ballot before leaving the
booth.
See that the water-mark and mum
her are on the outside.
Deliver your ballot, folded, to the
Inspector, and give your name.
Only voter can occupy IA booth at
one time.
A voter physically disabled may
have the assistance of another
elector IN preparing his ballot.
Use the rubber stamp only in
marking your ballot The law so
directs.
The use of pen or pencil will invali-
date your ballot and cause it to be
thrown out.
Do not scratch the name of any
candidate, as it will cause the ballot
to be thrown out
A vote direct for any candidate for
United States Senator has no effect
If Thomas p Hawley is your choice
for United States Senator, vote for
the Republican legislative candidate.
Don't come down too hard on the
ink pad A light touch will give
YOU enough ink on the rubber stamp
to mark all your ballot,

SALT LAKES OPPORTUNITY.
Reaching Out For the Trade OF
TonOpah.

From the Salt Lake Mining Re
view: The business men of Salt Lake
City have Il splendid opportunity to
greatly extend their business and
trade if they will only take advan-
tage of it. In our sister state,
Nevada, joining Utah on the west,
great revival is noticeable in the
mining industry, and rival of the
great Comstoc is knocking at our
doors for recognition We refer to
the maryelOusly rich camp of
Tonopah, in Nye county, to a new
mineral district which with almost
mushroom growth has sprung from
absolutely nothing two years ago
into one of the richest mineral pro
ducing sections of this great west
Tonopab, to-day, is one of the mar
wells of the mining age Seven mil.
lions from the grass roots is its
history during its brief existence,
From camp of tents it is now Il
city. Chaos has given way to order.
With millions already made, the for
tunate ones are out after still more.
The business of the new camp is
steadily assuming enormous proper
tons, and it is well worth trying for.
1t will mean much .or some CONNER
cial center such as Salt Lake. Al
ready the ores of the camp are being
consigned to the Salt Lake mar
kets. The business men of TOnopah
are sore" on California cities and
are looking with favorable eye to
Salt Lake, and they state that if
they are accorded fair treatment
here that the bulk OF their business
will come to Zion. Already our
mining machinery dealers have sized
up the situation, and they are more
than willing to meet the Tonopah
people half way.
With united action and IA deter
mnaton to be the commercial Mecca
for the bonanza camp of Tonopah,
Salt Lake can easily control the bulk
Of the business of this Eldorado
section. The Mining Review extends
the hand OF friendship and welcome,
and invites the people of Tonopah to
give our business men portion, at
least, of their business, assuring them
of courteous and pleasing treatment.
