, BIGGER MAN THAN GRANT.

The People, published in Baton Rouge
says:
1t happened during the Grant admin
istration. The ioorkeeper Of the House
contracted a severe case of big head
Writing home he said: "All the sena
tors, congressman and the high. official:
generally have kind word to say. to me
when | pass them in or out, and from
he attentions that they always show
me, have concluded that I must be Z
bigger man than Grant"
This was notable case It attractet
the attention of the country and ex-
haustive researches were made by the
scientists into the syrnptomssand charac-
:er of the disease. The consensus Of
opinion was that while it was infectious
it fortunately, appeared oftenest in the
sporadic form. The symptoms manifest
themselves usually in writings, as in the
case ct the ex-doorkeeper of Congress
In reading all exchange the other day,
our attention CHANGED to be drawn TO a
circular bearing the title of Depart
a,ent of Education"
In reading it over carefully we irnag-
med that it bore indications of devel-
oplng case of the same sickness by which
he ex-doorkeeper of Congress was af-
'f7ictei. Realizing how dep1erable would
De an outbreak of this sickness among
the educators of youth, we proceeded
with our investigation, with the follow
ing results:
The suspicious circular was dated
January II, 1905, and was addressed to
parish superintendent of schools. It
said in part: -.--- 49,
1t is our earnest desire that every
teacher in your parish attend one of the
Summer Normal Schools to be held dur
ing the months of June and July, and
zee depend upon your Cooperation to
accomplish this desired end" +
1t was signed J. B. Aswell, State SUI
nerintendent. =, h. -.-. z-..z.
: he three remaining paragraphs were,
likewise, well charged with the aUe Of
the crowned heads and of the editorial
sanctum. i occurred to us that the
president of the United States and the
governors of states are content to use
the common pronoun 'I' in their Off
ciai documents, and, literally used, that
the big 'sI' and little you should suf-
fee fer all the purposes of the rest of
American officialdom.
For light upon this Department OF
Education" we looked into the Consti-
tuition of 1893, and found that it provides
for emily three departments, namely, the
Legislative, Executive and Judiciary.
Under the title of Public Education,
we read the following
Article 24o. There shall be elected
by the qualified electors of the State a
Superintendent of Public Education,
who shall hold this office for the term
of four years and until his successor is
qualified. His duties shall be prescribed
~ law and he shall receive an annual
salary of two thousand dollars. The
aggregate expenses of his office, inelui-
ng this salary, shall not exceed the sum

William Farley Missing.

William Farley, the son of a
wealthy sheepman of Richmond, is
missing from his home and friends are
now searching the country for him.
II is feared that he has met with foul
play or an accident. The Farleys op-
crate large sheep ranch about 80
miles from Richland. The other eve
ming young Farley said that he was
going over to one of the neighbors
a short distance away. and expected
to be gone about three hours. He did
not return in the three hours nor three
days and his parents became alarmed
about him. Last evening a searching
party was organized to hunt for him
as it is feared that he has either met
with foul play or an accident.-Baker

known what the outcome will be.

CANNOT COLLECT RENTS.
Landlords Renting for Immoral Pur'
poses Must Take Chances.

Seattle, Sept. Son the most de-
cisive terms, Judge Morris of the su-
perior court yesterday refused the pc
tition of William Chappelle for new
trial in the case of ChappeIle versus j..
]. Madigan.
The case is an action to collect rents
on contract held by Chappelle where
by Madigan agrees to pay an ex-
tremely large amount of rent for the
use of one of Chappelle's buildings in
the restricted district for immoral pur-
poses.
The contract produced by Chappelle
at the first trial was perfectly legal
i'm form but Judge Morris stated that
no count could be expected to enforce
a contract for rent paid on building
that was used for immoral purposes.
Persons renting buildings for large
monthly sums and allowing them to
be used as houses of Ill fame will be
compelled to take their own chances
in the matter Of rent.

Toxic, Sept. S.-The municipal
council has passed a resolution de-
nouncing the terms of the peace

minister OF home affairs. Eight

The cabinet met in extraordinary

The riots are inspired by certain news

that was desired, but acknowledge
the government did the best for the
country under the circumstances. The
organs representing the business in
