The assessors are particularly
signalled out for election hence
forth, and we endorse such move,
but the BANNER is not quite in
favor of any law which, in the par
ishes, will 60 beyond the police jul
ries az reviewers. The State Board
of Equalization which it is propos-
ed to create, will in our opinion,
prove useless expense, be super
fluous and complicate very large
ly the duties and trials of the as
SCISSORS, and it ought to be aban-
doned. The police jury of every
parish is now composed of most
excellent material and the final
reviewing of assessments ought to
be left with them. They are ac-
quainted with values with their
jurisdiction and they are far more
competent to act as court of last
resort in the matter of assess
ments as would be the case with a
State Board such as it is Governor
Blanchard's idea to have the Leg
islature. create. The BANNER is
now and has always been in favor
of straight forward primary
election law, as being essentially |
necessary to the preservation of |
the Democratic party in the State,
and ardently hope to see a good,
wholesome law of that kind
enacted

GRAND JURYlREPORr.

FRANKLIN, La, May 30, 1906
To the Honorable A. c. Allen, Judge
of the 23rd judicial District Cour
of Louisiana, in and for the Par
ish of ST. Mary.
We, your Grand Jury, duly i'm.
panelled and sworn, within and
for the Parish of St. Mary. and
called in special session, beg leave
to submit this our report:
We have examined into all vio-
lations of the criminal statutes
which have come to our know
ledge, and particularly the sub
jects on which you specially
charged us, and We herewith hand
in our findings in the form of true
bills, or no true bills as the case
may be.
In reference to your special
charge on the subject of extortion
in Office, or what is familiarly
called "graft" on the part of JUS
tees of the Peace, and other Off
GERS, we feel satisfied that this
thing is carried on far more extern
sively than may be inferred from
our indictments.
1t is difficult matter to get
proof in specific instances, but in
time, and by continued efforts on
the part of ourselves and our sue
cessors, we hope the practice can
be stopped.
We do not feel called upon to
make any general report upon the
subject of public schools, public
buildings, public health or the
general welfare of the parish, at
this special session which has
been devoted to the special SUBJ
jects on which you charged us.
Respectfully submitted,
r. EMMETT O'NIELL,
Foreman.

Senator Foster, true to the doc

Gently delivered a brilliant speech
in the United States Senate in ad-
vocacy of the passage of the rail-
road rate bill. No law has ever
been up before the national legis-
lature which involved greater well
fare for the whole people and the
commercial classes than this bill
and it's failure will prove one of
the most deplorable facts of the
day, as with the combined forces
battling against it, it passage or
enactment is very dubious. Never

Nor Senator from Louisiana the
enactment of this much needed
law would soon be a fait accompli.
Senator Bailey, of Texas, also
delivered some telling blows in
favor of this very important ma
tional measure.

President Roosevelt has threat.
ened for some time to announce
"the man with the muck rake''
and at last found his opportunity
at the laying of the corner stone
of the Office building for the House
of Representatives. The trouble
with the President, as with other
Republicans, is that "the man
with the muck rake" has been
playing havoc with the Republic
can party. If the Republican poll
iticians had not created the muck
heap, there would have been no
occupation for "the man with the
muck rake", neither can he be
charged with being responsible
for the muck's existence. Here.
tofore the President was ardently
demanding publicity" as a cure
for most of our political ill, but
the magazine writer's gave him
such dose of it, that he has cried
enough already.

Secretary of the Navy Charles
J. Bonaparte, in striking speech
at Atlantic City, N j., made a
strong appeal for higher salaries
for public officers. He maintained
that the present tendency is to
keep the poor men, and as a rule,
the better element of American
citizenship, out of the government
service. None but rich men can
afford to hold any of the higher
Offices in the public service these
days at the present rate of pay.

COMPULSORY EDUCATION.

/ Inc DANNEN OOCo NV CAluh VIC
| it is for the best interests of the
white race that the compulsory
education bill should be passed
and for that reason is opposed tc
it, and we do not think that the
present legislature will be silly
enough to pass such a law, that
only a few demand. In our opin-
ion it will be long time before
there will be a law passed forcing
compulsory education upon an un-
willing people, and which if enac-
ted, will enable the blacks to
qualify as voters and thus endan-
ger white supremacy. The Pic
ayune OF recent date presented
sound reasons why the compul-
sorry educational bill should meet
with opposition, and in support of
it's argument, quotes Mr.. Gustave
lie Bon, a distinguished educator,
as follows:
"Education as we have it in
France and as I have been led to
understand you have itin America
is nothing but a pestilential
breeding ground for anarchy and
socialism, an education in discon-
tent instead of an education in
duty to society. Education as a
cure for social i'll is fetch, a
sociological wisp.
"The idea that the criminal
classes are recruited from the un-
educated is absolutely false" he
continued: Gin France we have
perhaps $50 illiterates out of
1000 criminals, and the greatest
criminals are in nearly every in
stance men Of fine education, l
have examined a few statistics
since coming to your country
several weeks ago, and l find that
your illiterate criminals or those
who might be classed as ignorant
will not average more than % per
cent. of the entire criminal class,
SO far as my researches have ex-
tended.
1.-The public has been led to be-
lieve that education is the pana-
cea for all social ills. This is by
no means true. The fault lies in
the popular idea of education.
has been held to be a
mere gathering of knowledge by
too many educators. A boy is
put through so many books in
our lycees so many courses in
your public schools and he Is
educated.
"Socialists and anarchists are in |
nearly every case so-called edu-
Gated men. They have acquired
and discomfort. They
nave not acquired any correspond
ng idea of their duties to the
'ocial whole or that self-efface-
nent which distinguishes the
strongest characters. In nearly
very case your educated social
SITS or anarchist is an egotist of a
type. Take our own

,etter than to see his name in

"Education which develops

ion. Education which develops

Do You Use Fertilizers ?

Commercial Fertilizers are coming into greater demand every year. Yet It is an astonishing fact that many farmers cling to barnyard manure and cotton seed as the only means they have of enriching their tired and worn- out lands, and still have doubts about the value of commercial fertilizers. In view Of the actual experience of others who are raising fine crops with commercial fertilizers these doubts are being rapidly dispelled.
 Some may ask what are commercial fertilizers? Briefly stated, they are composed of substances of which plants are composed, and the object of their use is to feed the plant.
 There are two features about the use of commercial fertilizers that are too often lost sight of. First, that their intelligent and iudicious appli- cation frequently insureS crop, whereas their absence would mean q failure. \ second thing to remember is, that, far from adding to the ex- pense, they will, by increasing the acreage yield, reduce the cost of pro duetion thus enabling their user to reap greater profit for his labor. or 10 reap profit even when the market prices of his products are so low that others are obliged to sell al loss.
 The Fussell-Graham-Al lderson Com pany, of Forrest City, have taken the agency for the Virginia Carolina Chem ical Company's Commercial Fertili- gers, and carload is now enroute, and will be on sale in a few days.
 Call at their store and they will give you valuable household book, which will explain all about the advantages of using the commercial fertilizers.

Bourne End, Aug. 16.-Among the visitors at
the Harvard crews quarters in Bourne End to-
day was H. T. Blackstaffe, the winner six times
of the London Cup, and this years winner Of the
Diamond Sculls. Mr., Blackstaffe said he thought
the arm work of the Harvard crew was great,
but that the men lacked the leg drive so essen
tial to progress in an eight-0ared boat, and a
necessary adjunct to powerful arm work.
He considered Harvard's boat suited to rough
water but suggested that the extra three feet
would assist in speed. There is,' said Mr..
Blackstaffe "a big difference in the after part,
as IT slopes a good deal more than ours after
the finish. / think the Americans have vastly

Harvard to be practising at Bourne L adding
