Opelousas, don't do that

lOpelOusas, don't do that
We too are cursed with the
the coOns. The trouble in
Lafayette however is not tina,
there are too many on the prin
cipal streets, but that they infect
the whole town, and particu
larly the side streets. like some
insidious disease which first
blights the outer limbs and then
creeps towards the trunk.
The thing to do is not to rege.
late them to the less important
thoroughfares to harass and
worry the poorer people and
more modest homes, but to put
them entirely without the cor
pOrate limits of the town, and
thereby do much toward solving
the veXatiOus negro problem in
towns the size of Opelousas.
Had we our way and our say
in the solution of this question,
we should construct giant,
steep inclined plane, we'll
smoothed and saponatied with
carbOlic soap and disinfected
with formic aldehyde, and start
the whole coon population on it's
downward grade towards the
North at a hundred mile per
hour gate.
But this is practical ques-
ton and must be handled in a
practical way, and Opelousas and
Lafayette and a good many other
towns in Louisiana should do as
Crowley and Jennings and other
towns built up by Northern and
Western settlers and one time
lovers of the negro have done;
and that is, not only separate
them. but relegate them to some
undesirable portion of the town
where they can be kept thor
Oughly under control and under
the -watchful eye of the
white man.

TIA + BIZ RACE

1t seems rather hard that Sir
Thomas should have his agony
so long drawn out. Why not
call the bloomin' race off for
keeps, and let this gallant Bri-
ton go home and attend to that
urgent business:' in fact, find
something to do on the other
side Of the pond if necessary.
The patience of the American
people is wearing out. We like
a lively contest, a race to a finish,
and in as short space of time
as possible. This thing of
''hukes" is becoming nausea
ting. It reminds one of the
start at a horse race: the gong
rings, every one holds his
breath, the air is tense, every
body is eNpectant-only to find
that another start must be
made: and so on till one gets
wearied and tired of horse
racing.
The "bloomin' mug will re-
main on this side 1t was never
Intended that it should be other
wise. Sir Thomas, gallant lad,
will return to England a sadder
out a wise man.

EGREG4 TIE THE MGR OES.

Opelousas has been holding
mass meetings to devise ways
and means whereby she may
remove her negro inhabitants on
the principal streets from among
their white neighbours, and to a
more suitable part of the town.
We have not yet heard what was
accomplished at these meetings.
and while we do not wish to
appear ofiicious, it seems to us
that the plan proposed is not
drastic enough. Suppose the
negroes are removed from the
principal streets, and to other
parts of the town-where will
that be? Will it be las one of the
speakers at the first meeting is
reported to have said) down

The long absence from school
and the continued disuse of his
int'II"ctud faculties are apt to
maN" " ne pupil mental
~IuSgard. When he again re-
turns to the schoOlroom his mind
is untuned and undisciplined,
and his habit of thought un-
trained. He can not resume
the educational path at the place
he left off. He doesn't know how
to study His thoughts are con-
fused, his mind sort of chaos
out of which it takes quite an
important part of the school
term to invoke order.
So the short school terms and
the long intervals of intellectual
idleness are serious foes to edu-
catiOnal advancement. AS par
ents are responsible for the
children who are born to them,
both duty and parental affection
are demanding that they use
proper efforts to remedy the
evils of our present short term
system of schools.

OIL PROPHE rs

All this talk about the oil wells
at Beaumont or any other part
of the newly discovered oil ter.
ritory of the Southwest giving
out is nonsense. The oil pools
have just been tapped. The
field is in its incipiency. The
development of this new indus
try is but just begun. The tire
mendiOus manufacturing and
commercial possibilities fore
Swallowed by the oil strike in
Louisiana and Texas will be
fully realized. 1t is well-known
fact that fortunes have been and
are now being made in the oil
fields Of Ohio and Pennsylvania.
The same thing was said about
these places by carping critics
as is said about the Louisiana
and Texas territory now. There
are some people who see nothing
till their noses are dipped into
it. There be others who don't
w SSAC W HoNS q O1IlASo CNSA Willie
they look at it. Of the latter
class we opine are those who
say the oil wells are playing out.
Some people would like to see
them stop producing; particu-
larly those who are interested
in developing a certain section
at the expense of another, or
who confine their operations to
4 particular section for reasons
If expediency. OF this class also
are those who say the oil will not
asst.
The fact of the matter is we
lave just begun to develop Oil in
and Texas, and at
Yearly every place SO far where
,orings have been made oil has
,een found. This is particu-
arly true of Louisiana.
True it is not always brought
0 the surface, but means of
hwarting the criminality of
hose who are responsible for
his failure will yet be found,
nd then, woe to the briber! II

hard to fill or remedy during

PLEA FOR EDUCATION.

H. l.. Whitfield, in Times Democrat.
No child comes into this world
as free agent. His entry into
Port Natal in made entirely
without his own volition. He is
not consulted concerning his
wish or his reluctance Gf he en-.
terrain either) to become a baby,
land he has no voice in the selec
tion of the parents who are to
attend his infant wants, direct
his childish steps and guide his
Maynard youth. These being
facts, it follows as the night the
day that upon the parents of that
child rests fearful respon-
sibility for the moral and intel
lectual well-being of their crea-
ture. Manifestly, the trend of
his life in mature years will
hinge in great measure upon
the environment and influences
of his earlier life. If the child
be permitted to grow up in
ignorance, his youth untutOred
and uncultivated and himself re-
garded but as beast of burden,
it were as wise to seek for figs
upon thistles as to look for a
harvest of good from a soil so
badly seeded and titled.
The responsibility for that
child's birth rests upon his
parents, and his life, whether of
good or of evil, must be to d
greater or less extent decided
by the influence they bring to
bear upon his youthful mind
while yet it is wax to receive
and marble to retain'' impress
sions. But the necessity of
providing for the daily wants of
the household as rule pre-
cludes parents from giving to
their children the mental and
moral training that they need.
This led, no doubt. to the intrust-
ing by parents to private tutors
the work of educating and train
ing their children. But private
tutors could not be employed by
people of limited means, and
economical reasons probably led
to the employment of persons
peculiarly fitted for such work,
and the establishment of schools
whereat one or more teachers
by organization and
educate many pupils
with almost as little time and
trouble as would be devoted to
one by private tutor. With
the cheapening of education
which cooperation brought
about and the widening of knowl
edge consequent thereon came a
zeener and livelier recognition of
is Importance. and every step
n the evolution of education has
been toward cheapening the
cost of its requirement. and at

 On last Wednesday evening as the sun drew his robes of scarlet and purple about him, thereswas seen lonely Crittenden sitting on the wood-pile before his gate. It could be seen that trouble was on his brow. A lady stepped to the door and the appearance of James changed so mysteriously from that of trouble to happiness. We became curious to know what the lady had told him to change him so. thinking perhaps ours might be likewise banish- ed. So we walked to the house and.found God had sent a sweet little girl to James Crittenden s home and all are doing we'll. James has been chopping wood every since.
