The Women's Club of New Or
leans are working mp sentiment for
compulsory education in Louisiana.
We feel assured THAT the object is a
good one and worthy their best ef-
forts and should receive the hearty
cooperation of all Mothers and Wo-
mems Clubs of the State, with de-
cided stand for this most important
object, no doubt the Legislature at its
next session could be induced to enact
law, comprising the end sought for.
No child should be deprived of the
right to be educated and all parents
or guardians should be held to strict
accountability in this matter. as a
rule ignorance and crime go together.
to do away with ignorance is to elm
mate crime. Let the ladies work
strennously for their object, and God
speed them.

THE SCHOOL APPROPRIATION.

At the meeting of the Police Jury
last Thursday, the schools of the City
were provided for to the extent Of
setting aside one mill of the criminal
tax for the building of new schools in
the City. This in connection with
the $500 per year, for 10 years by the
City Council will give ample funds
for the purpose and settles the con-
troversy, that was gradually becom-
ing more bitter and was threatening
to disrupt the community. The City
Council will meet next Wednesday
night, when it is thought ample pro-
vision will be made for the schools as
outlined above. For this happy solu-
ton of the school question we are in
debted to patriotic citizens represent
ing the Board of Trade and the Moth
ers Club and the School Board, all
have worked with a vim to accomp-
lish their object and without con-
fiicting with the industrial interests
of the City, which at one time seemed
imminent, now happily settled salts
factorially to all concerned. We shall
now enter upon a new era for our
schools and it is hoped that never
again will the statement be made
that children are turned away for
want of accommodations

The Teehe~ Encampment.

On April 28th there will assem-
BILE in our City the Grand Encamp-
ment of the Knights of Temperance
of Louisiana. composed of delegates
from all the subordinate encamp-
ments throughout the State.
1t will be a notable gathering,
and our City should feel honored
that it has been selected as the
place of meeting. The local En-
campment, Teche No. Is will be
the host of the Grand Encampment,
and will extend the proper hospital
tiles to the visitors, in which orr
citizens will no doubt cooperate,
for if there is an institution in the
town that is revered by all, it is the
temperance organization represent
ed by the Local Lodge. 1t is not
saying too much that it is owing to
the influence of this devoted band
of brothers, that our City is so free
of crime, for as a general PROPOSE
ton crime is engendered by strong
drink and the habit has been great
ly reduced by this organization. Its
influence is felt in all circles, and
its benefciaries and charities are
widespread, raising the fallen, ma
king the homes happy and reunited,
emancipation of the slave of drink
into the marvellous light of sObriety,
health and happiness, coupled with
thrift and prosperity and above all
the regaining of self-respect and
that of the community.
Nothing is too good for an order
which is of such value to a commu-
nifty. Therefore let US extend the
hand of welcome to them, and bid
them Godspeed in their grand
work. On the night of the 2Sth a
ball will be given to the Grand
Lodge, and the public are cordially
invited and urged to attend. The
best of music will be given and de-
licious refreshments will be served
by the lady friends of the Encamp-
ment, who will add much to the en-
iOyment of the occasion.

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT.

Not long ago / raed an article on
Capital Punishment, handled from
money standpoint. The writer
proving it was cheaper to imprison
criminals than to execute them.
would like to say a few words
from point of right, Justice and eff
feet. We can not have too much said
against this terrible crime Let me
ask every reader, is it right? Is it
just to execute criminals? Are they
not our brothers? Have we the right
to take the life of another? 4,
1t seems to me we have only to en-
ter into the closet of our inner being
and ask our real self this question.
But what effect does forcing life out
of tho physical have upon humanity?
First, let me say, to make laws
that compel men to take life God has
given expression, cheapens life. We
should hold life more sacred.
Second, it produces inharmony, and
inharmony produces discord, disease
and crime. All wars have been
brought about by inharmony, and all
wars have produced inharmony. What
effect does a mind that has been fore
ed out of this expression have upon
others?
Liberating a man from the physical
does not by any means put him out the
way. A bad man may do more harm
out of the body than in, because then
he has better opportunity to con-
centrate his mind, moi having mate
rial to deal with
We all know that hypnotist can,
while speaking to an audience, con-
centrate his mind upon a sensitive and
compel that person to act his will.
So a mind liberated from tho physical
can concentrate it's thoughts upon and
compel person, when in anger, or
when not above angry thoughts, to
act his will. One who has been sent
out of the physical while in anger or
revenge can do much harm
Would it not be better to place them
where they may work at something
they like to do? Where they may
have books and music9 Where they
may be educated to higher plane, SO
that when they leave this expression
they may go in peace and harmony.
ready to serve humanity.
Brothers and sisters, let US spend
more time studying the power of
thought and why we have criminals
Let us punish less and love more -

Talk for the Home.

The new primary cleo ton law of
Illinois entails much trouSle upon
candidates for United States Sen
ator. They are required to file petit
tons in the Office of the secretary
Of state, and that official certifies
them to the county clerks. The
law requires only $4,000 names on
the petitions, and the Yates people
secured that many signatures. Sen
ator Cullom's popularity is rhuch
greater or his canvassers were more
active. His petition contains 49,
600 names, all secured outside of
Cook county. This petition is the
most bulky document ever received
at Springfield The filing of these
petitions meets the requirements
necessary to place the names of the
rival candidates before the Repub-
licans at the primaries on April %.
Every district in the state was over
run by the Cullom workers, and
they are highly pleased and encour-
aged by the magnitude of his pop
ular Endorsement.
