A Warming.

To feel tired after exertion is one
thing; to feel tired before is another.
Don't say the latter is laziness-it
isn't; but it's a sign that the system
lacks vitality, is running down, and
needs the tonic effect Of Hoods SaTsa-

It's a warning. too-and sufferers
should begin taking Hoods at once.

Cut The Weeds.

Weeds are not only noxious in
themselves; they beget other evils.
They foster slovenliness. A big
patch of weeds in vacant lot or
an alley creates an irresistible de-
sire in the careless domestic to
throw old tin cans among them,
to empty among their concealing
leaves the garbage that should be
carted away. Such things have the
germs of contagion and death. Be
sides, they are nasty, they are 4
part of the weed system. Nice
customs abhor them. A town to be
clean and wholesome and attract
i've must be cleared of pestilent
things. Citizens should cut the
weeds. Then there will be fewer
tin cans, heaps of ashes and piles
of rotting garbage to the appear
an1e and impair the health OF a
fine town,

The theatrical Season Opens
Under Fine Prospects.

The theatrical season opened
Tuesday night at Falk's Opera
House with Mr.. Pete Baker, in
Chris and Lena. The Advertiser
is pleased to note the very large
audience. in fact, one OF the lar
gest crowd ever seen in a Lafayet-
te theatre. This movement in
patronizing theatres is indicative Of
life and progress, and denotes
the energy of a rising town. A
few hours recreation after a hard
days toll and business turmoil
serves as a rest to the brain and
helps materially in improving the
general conditions of the worker.
Let us hope that all good plays
coming to Lafayette the balance
of the season will receive as libe-
raj patronage as did Chris and
Lena.

One of the chief sources of the
waste of school money is the en-
ployment Of incompetent teachers.
says the Knoxville Journal and
Tribune: This is perhaps more
generally true in the sparsely po-
pulated districts; but it is not con-
fined to them. It is seen and felt
also in the cities. Boards of ed
ucation and school directors have
a grave responsibility resting upon
them in this respect, and no man
who is fit to hold snch position
will approach the work in hand
without feeling it The time of
the school children is too precious
to be wasted in attending upon
instruction at the hands of those
know little OF the responsibility
that rests upon them, and who
perhaps do not care to know. 1t
sometime takes longer to unlearn
that which is fallacious. taught by
an incompetent teacher, than it did
toimbibe the Ease notions that ar e
to be unlearned.

The last census shows that
Louisiana is the most illiterate
state in the union. Comparison
with other states reveals the fact
that it is not owing to the negro
population, but that large per
cent Of the white population can
neither read nor write, Such a
condition Of affairs should not ex-
ist any longer than possible.
There is slight hope Of dong any
thing for the illiterate adults. but
every effort should be made to
educate the young. And in the
parish of Lafayette we should do
our utmost part, by placing good
schools in reach Of every child in
the parish, funds. Of course are
necessary, and our people should
cheerfully furnish them, that the
children may at least be given the
instruction necessary to enable
them to read and write. Politics
in the past have obscured the par.
amount need Of schools. but for
tunately and wisely too. our peo-
pie are waking up, and now a
considerable interest is being
taken in education. Let US all
help the interest grow till our
should facilities are second to none.

BOON YOUR TOWN,

 Let the President Travel.

This is a free country. even for the Dresident. Suitable watch and ward should be kept over the chief executive. Indiscriminate access to him should be prevented. Neither his time nor his sa;ety should be tempered with by IT, responsibles Don't worry" said King Humbert, when man potted al him in Rome. this is an incident or my trade" and his assassination at last made this cool headed, courageous view none the less true. When Presi- dent Roosevelt said that but for the sad death of his body guard, William Craig. he would have regarded the ar cident as a mere incident of his trip. he shared the spirit of the Italian king.
 Both are right president has du- ties which call for all the risks Of travel He should be seen by the peo- pie. He ought to visit each great sec tion. The vast mass has a right to see its chief public servant. The direct personal impression is as important for president in his work as for any other man in his.
 These presidential trips educate. They unify. They arouse national spirit. The speeches to this local audi ence and thai reach the nation. All read them The nation as a whole IS instructed. Public opinion IS formed. A presidential progress is worth all its risks. and, while these risks should Joe rendered as small as possible, 1t is as
 necessary that the president should take these trips as that he should be at Washington.
 Nothing could be worse for the presl-
 dent, more alien to American ideas or more opposed to our popular practice than fer the head O.; the nation to be- come a sort of prisoner of state at
 Washington. immured in the etiquette and yelled by the precautions intended to assure his safety. 1 Press.

The Democratic Platform,

Some of the democratic papers of the territory have recently made an inter- view published in this paper with MT. Leon O. Bailey, the general counsel for the Development Company of America, corporation extensively interested in this territory. the subject of a bitter attack upon those who are engaged in the development of the resources of Arizona. In substance Mir. Bailey said that he regretted the attitude of the late territorial democratic convention toward invested capital The papers commenting upon the interview pre- tend to imagine that they see in it a wish of the corporations to escape their just share of the burden of taxation Mir. Bailey said nothing of the sort and we do not think he had such a wish in mind. He was referring to the pro posed hampering of investors and an unwarranted interference with busi- ness.
 The loudest protest that has come @ our notice against the methods of tax ation proposed by that convention has been made by a member of it, Hon. Thomas Weedin, the editor of the | Florence Blade, who strenuously ob- jected to the plank proposing to tax the output of the mines. No one certainly can accuse Editor Weedin of an ex- traordinary friendliness for corpora tions. He is surely not tool of any Of them. yet regards law to tax the out put of mines as outrage. calculated to close many of the smaller ones es. pecially those which are in the stage Of development rather than in that of production. Why do not those defend CTS of the platform of the democratic convention take up the protest of Mr. Weedin in behalf of the small mine owners?
 Output taxing bills have never been popular in Arizona legislatures. One failed in the last assembly which was overwhelmingly democratic yet we do not remember that any democratic newspaper accused the representives Of their party of acting in the interest of the corporations.
 The members who voted against it did so in broad daylight and gave their reasons for it. They said they believed that while the burden of taxation should be equitably distributed. such a law would close hundreds of mines in the territory and retard or prevent the development of the mineral resources of Arizona.
 But as WIG have said, Mir. Bailey in the interview printed in this paper did not allude to that plank of the platform or to any other relating to the sub ject of taxation.

A Moses by Proxy.

MT. Bryan despairing of leading his marty out of the wilderness as early as 1904 does net want to De wandering around at the head of it to no purpose. He mas accordingly appointed Tom Johnson to ride herd upon it until a time comes when it can move into the promised land. Mir Bryan has set MT. Johnson an impossible task to prove his fitness for the permanent leadership of the marty. The Kansas City Journal speaking of the relation between Bryan and Johnson says:
 The radical Bryan element or Una democracy evidently thinks 1t has found a leader in the person o1 the Hon. Tom L. Johnson, mayor or Cleveland. MT. Bryan manifests. willingness to bestow his well worn mantle on him for the purpose Of the next presidential campaign if the issue of the. contests in Ohio this year and next shall indicate that he IS the proper person to wear it. Johnson. with the view of proving that the man. tie will be a good fit. has taken com
 
 and will be both the principal manager and chief stump speaker of it's cam paign this fall. If he succeeds in win ming or even in materially reducing the republican majority, he will run him. self for governor next year; and if he wins then, or comes anywhere near it. he will enter the national convention of 1904 as the avowed candidate of the Nebra acI1an and his friends
 There is small prospect that the dem- ocracy will win in Ohio this year. Of course That state has not for ten years wavered in its support of repub- lican candidates and policies; and there is nothing in the field of national pol itics which is calculated to cause it to do so now. But Johnson has introduc- ed some new issues and elements into the present contest. He is admitted to be a man of considerable force and originality and he has a barrel of money which he will not be 10th to open if he thinks he can further his ambitions by doing so. It is probable. therefore, he will give the republicans a rather interesting fight this year and perhaps again next year, and, though unsuccessful, he will be able to enter the national convention with the pres tige of having made a hard and gal lant struggle against great odds. This far ahead, it looks as if, under the cir cumstances, he would stand a bettef chance of winning the presidential nomination than any other man. If he had the mark of defeat on him. the same thing might be asserted of every other northern leader of the party: and it is improbable that the democracy will seriously consider the proposition to go south for a candidate.
 The country has for six years con- templated the spectacle of Bryanized democracy. Johnson has more 'pTinci- pies" and vagaries than Bryan: and a Johnsonized democracy would be even less like the old party of that name than is the Bryanized edition. John sons nomination, for one thing, would unalterably commit it to Henry Georges doctrine of the single tax Johnson was Georges warmest friend
Arizona republican., 1902-09-13

and most ardent disciple in his life. and has continued enthusiastically to propagate his masters teachings since his death: and it would not be sur prising if the single tax were made the paramount issue of his campaign. His convictions on other economic questions are equally radical and equally opposed to the principles of the republican party and of the democratic party of the past.
 If Johnson becomes the recognized anointed democratic Moses, Mir. Bryan is likely to lose his distinction as the democratic party's only overwhelm- ingly defeated candidate for the pres- idency on a crank platform.

The Club Woman's Essay.

A pcssimistic literary man once said that his idea of an intellectual hades was a library where one would be con- pelled to sit and read nothing but the essays composed by women for liter ary clubs. Perhaps in the years gone by this crusty critic might have justly dreaded such q doom and should he have found himself in this intellectual inferno, he might have been beset by those mild faced demons that were wont to inspire women to string to- gether a lot of platitudes, some ency- cIopedic excerpts, and many more or less apt quotations. and to call the re- suit an essay. But this literary hades, like the literal enc, has been robbed of half its terrors. and the reader reduced to this kind of intellectual fare might go far without being able to find so much Of spiciness. The club essayist of these times is frequently one whose essay goes straight from the club plat form to the printing press. and her in fuence upon the more amateurish mind combined with the stimulus given by university l. cturers. has consid biy raised the standard of private achieve ments in the literary field. There are some who insist that publication ought to be the test of the club essay and whc declare that if thing isn't good enough to be published it isn't worth reading; and of course if this test were insisted upon there would be fewer es- says and perhaps some that deserved a hearing would have to go But what ever be the touchstone applied it is cer- tain that the average club essay is much more worthy of literary coneidcr~ ation than it ever has been befcre.-- Chic2 go Tribune
