WITHOUT 1T A STATE DISCOUNTS
HER STANDING.

There are some subjects about
which one can never write or talk
too much. Their Importance and
value to the public are 80 great
that it becomes the duty of the
press to keep eternally publishing
something about them until their
real Importance and value are full
ly realized.
No subject is of greater impor-
lance to the people than that Of
education. We may have splen-
did railroad facilities but while
every man appreciates convenien-
ces of this kind fully recognizes
the worth of a good railroad sys-
tenn no one will deny that a good
public school system is far more
important and of greater value
to any community.
Intelligence is the life Of any
neighborhood. Fill up your Sec
ton of the state with a lot of igno-
ramuses and you couldn't be hir-
ed to stay there, for you would be
dissatisfied and unhappy. Let a
state neglect the education of her
young people and she discounts
her standing in the civilized
world. The days of "blissful
ignorance" are fast passing away.
To-day, America is of such great
Importance to the civilized world
that it is absolutely necessary for
her people to be endowed with
knowledge.
We may boast of our history,
we may refer with pleasure to the
blue blood that courses through
our veins, but we will soon lose
our standing in the sisterhood of
states if we do not make a better
and more adequate provision for
the education of our offspring.
We boast of our public institu-
tions and We have perfect right
to feel proud of them, but we sad
ly neglect our public schools.
What we need is a we'll organized
public school system, a system SO
well organized and managed that
the boys and girls who attend our
public schools may. when they
have completed the prescribed
course of study, be able to at once
enter a college or university

THE POLL TAX.

The Legislature at its session Of
last Nay passed a law regarding
the Poll Tax, which they thought
would be killed by the adoption
of the amendment proposed to the
Constitution and voted for at the
November election, but the amend
ment was defeated, the following
becomes law, and we suppose that
the politicians will see that the
law is complied with:
Section 1. Be it enacted by
the General Assembly of the State
of Louisiana, That the sheriffs
and ex-officio tax collectors in this
State are required, and it is here
by made their duty, to keep a Sc
parate record in a bound book,
which shall always be open to the
inspection of all persons and in
which shall be posted at least once
week the names of all persons
who have paid their poll taxes, to-
getber with the date of payment
and the amount paid by each; and
that all sheriffs and ex-officio tax
collectors shall at the close of each
calender year compile two correct
and complete lists by wards of all
persons who have paid their poll
taxes during said calendar year,
showing the amounts and dates
of payment, and the year for which
said poll taxes have been paid,
and shall attest the correctness of
said lists by affidavit thereon or
annexed thereto and Herewith
identified, duly sworn to and sub
scribed before an officer authori-
zed to administer oaths in their
respective parishes; that each and
every sheriff and ex-officia tax COL
lector in this State is hereby re-
quired to file not later than the
tenth day of January of each year,
one of said lists for the year next
preceding said date in the Office of
the clerk of the District Court,
and the other with the assessor
and registrar of voters of the pa
rish in which he is sheriff.
Section 2. Be it further enac-
ted, etc, That said sworn lists,
when SO filed with said clerk and
said assessor, shall remain deposit
ted in their Offices as part of the
public achives thereof, and shall
be open to the inspection of all
persons at all times.
Section g. Be it further enact
ed, etc, That any sheriff and en-
officio tax collector who shall fail

A Cold Wave.

The forecast of sudden change in
the weather serves notice that a
hoarse voice and a heavy cough may
invade the sanctity of health in your
own home. Cautious people have a
bottle of One Minute Cough Cure
always at hand. E. H. Wise, Madison
Ca, writes: Il am indebted to One
Minute Cough Cure for my present
good health, and probably my life
1t cures Coughs, Colds, LaGrippe
Bronchitis, Pneuu onia and all Throa
and Lung troubles. One Minute
Cough Cure cuts the phlegm, draws
out the inflammation, heals and
soothes the mucous membranes and
strengthens the lungs. J. R, Kruger,

OFFERS TO BUY TRANSPORT 5.
H.I's Latest Proposition to the War
Department

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE purchase
d army transports and their incorpo-
ration of a fleet of transpacific steam
ars is the latest plan Of James J. HILL
president Of the Great Northern rail-
road, in his effort to get for the Boston
Steamship company Of Seattle, Wash,
the contracts for amy transportation
# the transport system is abandoned
as is now contemplated.
The Seattle line is the only one
which made bids advertised for by the
war department, and it's figures are
very low. The comm aTcial lines at
San Francisco were caught mapping
and aided by the Hartman transcOn-
tinental railroad system, are now
strenUously beseeching the war de-
partment not to abandon the transport
system. One Of the arguments made
for the continuance of the transport
system is that the war department has
on hand q large number of transports
which it cannot sell adVantageOus
Mr.. Hill seems intent on buying out
this argument, and it is understood,
proposes that the war department ap-
point an appraiser to act in conjunc-
ton with an appraiser appointed by
Mr.. Hill and that the Hill interests
will pay the appraised figure for two
or three transports.
The whole question will be taken up
and disposed Of by Secretary Root this
week.

AMES STILL AT LARGE.
Whereabouts of Former Minneapolis
Mayor Unknown.

mayor Unknown.
Minneapolis, Dec. 12.-According to
reports from various parts of the con-
tinent DR.. A. A. Ames is nothing less
than a wonder as a traveller.
The much-wanted former mayor is
said to have left tracks in Montreal,
Boston, Somerville Mass, and dozen
other Eastern points all on the same
day.
The Boston police have seized five
trunks said to belong to DR.. Ames, but
uncertainty exists as to whether the
trunks are his or, if they are, whether
they were not sent East as a "stall'
while their owner slipped down into
Mexico.
1t is considered more likely that he
did this than that he shipped for Eu-
rope from Montreal.

When Sousa, famous the world over
as king of march music, landed in the
"home Of the Free" he carried with
him vallse on which was marked in
plain letters "Johu Philipso. u. S. A."
Time passed. and this son of sunny It.
ally commenced 10 grow musical and
also to become Americanized. 1t was
then, SO the story goes, that he ex-
pressed the desire for name moro
nearly like those of the people OF
which he was one by choice.
Phlipso sounded out Of place doing
service for mnn who had imbibed
American beliefs and customs and
whose destiny was closely linked with
"the stars and stripes forever" A
member OF the band to which he be
longed finally made suggestion. II
turned out TO be happy one and was
adopted by the master Of the baton.
The suggestion was this: To the name
Philipso add u, 3. a. Divide the one
name into two words. and there was
the smooth sounding and easily pro-
nounced name OF John Philip Sousa, -
