THE trouble is all due to my mania
for playing the races" said Carpenter

cations of His Spouse
COURT MUST DECIDE

OAKLAND, Oct. 9.-Is it possible for
q lightweight dentist TO throw mid
dleweight and buxom wife around the
room and shake her until her teeth
chatter? Judge Ogden doesn't know.
He admits that he may not be very
heavy, but he says he never attempted
to toss a woman heavier than himself
around amy old room" 1t is up to
him to decide whether DR.. S. C. Hornet.
who weighs 133 pounds. tossed Eliza
beth Hornet, who weighs $50 pounds in
her stocking feet. according to the
husband.
DIR. Hornet is a dentist who is alleged
to have been practicing dentistry in
Oakland for years without license.
He was arrested for not having a
license and he was to ave been tried
today, but Police Judge Smith took
cognizaace of the fact that his divorce
case was on and continued the charge
until October 22
After ]. George Smith, a civil en-
gineer, had told again about the dust
that Mrs Hornet had raised while
sweeping the floor of Hornets operat-
ing room, Attorney II. q. walker called
the defendant. who has filed a cross
complaint alleging cruelty Hornet
said he weighed only 133 pounds, and
that the wife who says he shook her
is seventeen pounds heavier. Walker
is laying considerable stress on the
difference in weight on the ground that
a small man could not cope with
heavier woman He has made no ref
erences, however. to the little Alcalde
of early days who said he could whip
any woman in California.
Not only did Hornet deny beating his
wife, but he said she clawed him with
her finger nails and accused him Of
trying to poison her. Attorney j. L.
Mcyey told of circumstance in his
Office when Mrs. Hornet called her hus-
band "a fool and told him he was
crazy. DIR. G.. l. Schmidt said he had
seen Mrs. Hornet strike her husband.

Exemplary Citizens.

In connection with the cam
paign that is now in progress
for better school facilities in
Lafayette. it gives pleasure to
The Advertiser to make reference
to the fact that it is due to the
forethought of five public
spirited citizens that such a
splendid plot of ground will be
available for the site Of the Pri-
mary school building to be es-
tablished on the north side of
the railroad
Recognizing that the time had
about arrived to provide special
school Accommodations for the
children in that fast growing
section of the town, these gentle
men went to some pains to Sc
cure a desirable piece of ground
for that purpose more than two
years ago, and if this particular
half a block of ground had not
been purchased and held for the
public benefit as stated. the
question of a suitable location
for a school acrOss the railroad
would now be much more diff
cult and expensive to solve.
Several opportunities to dispose
of the property at even double
the purchasers price, could not
induce these friends of the chill
dren to alter their original deter
mination of saving this ground
for public school purposes.
The names of these exemplary
citizens are Messrs. A. E. MOu-
ton, j. G. Nickerson, Frank E.
Davis and DR.. Moss, and in this
public spirited move they had
the active cooperation of Hon.
G. D. Gallery. 1t is the kind of
spirit shown by these gentlemen
which makes small towns de-
velop into large and important
cities-a spirit of sacrifice which
generously places the public
welfare always above personal
interests.
The Lafayette advertiser. [volume] (Vermilionville [i.e. Lafayette], La.) 1865-19??, 1906-05-09

riOus parts of the town. this ORR
ginal graded school building will
go on serving the same useful
purpose of receiving and prepar-
ing for the Industrial Institute
the pupils of the different pri-
mary schools composing the
school system of Lafayette. A
day will come in the history of
our growing little city when not
one but two graded school build
ings will be needed to do the
work, and the proper place for
the second $4,000 school build
ing will no doubt be on the North
side of the railroad somewhere.
In view of the rapid growth Of
Lafayette in recent years, and
it's present and prospective
growth, the proposition to invest
100000 in two school buildings
and their equipment is not an
unreasonable thing to do, but it
is actually demanded by the die
tates of common sense, if the
people of Lafayette intend to &C
cord to the question of public
education the attention that it's
Importance commands.
If the fathers and mothers of
today will see to 1t that their
children receive a thorough men
tai and moral training, they need
not have any fear of any lack of
means for furthering all the
other interests of their town, be-
cause a highly educated people
always find the way and the
means of moving along the most
advanced lines. That is the
good of education, and this fact
has been so well demonstrated
by the past history of the world
that it requires no other argu-
ment to prove it. The American
republic itself could not exist
without the fact Of the universal
education of the people.
Let US meet this issue squarely,
for it is one of the most impor-
tant that should engage our at
tention. Consider for a moment
what a difference it would make
to the people of Lafayette in the
matter of giving an education to
their children if it were not for
the public schools. Ninety-nine
men in a hundred would be
called upon to pay from ten to
fifty times more in tuition for the
schooling of his children than
what it is costing him in taxation
for that purpose. How many ia
theirs there are who would not
be able to pay anything at all for
the education of their children?
Under our system of taxation,
which is not burdensOme to any
one, it is made possible for every
child, the child of the poor man
as well as the child of the rich
man, to obtain a good education,
and this is the greatest glory of
our country. and every man
should consider it to be a high
privilege and a pleasant duty to
contribute in every possible way
to the greater development of
our splendid system of public ed
ucation.
