PEANUT POLITICS

follows:
PEANUT POLITICS.
Thomas O. Harris, Governor Blan-
chards private secretary, arrived III our
town from Baton Rouge last Friday and
left the parish Tuesday. He was close
moutiled as to the object Of his visit
except to a few Of our citizens, but
enough has leaked out to make it Ger
tain that he came to make sure of the
position of the prospective appolntees on
the new school board on the matter OF
the subservency of parish school boards
to the State board. the primary motive
being. we take it, to appoint only men
who would not vote for Mr.. Goss for
parish superintendent This is peanut
politics for you Men are not wanted
to look after the educational interests
of the parish unless they will take or
ders from Baton Rouge And the idea
of the Governor sending his private sec
rotary on such dirty mission. Gov
ernor Blanchard holds the top of the
record for small politics Shades of
Henry w. Allen! What are we coming
to?"
Referring to this clip The Caucasian
is requested to publish Governor Blan-
chard's reply to the Mansfield Journal.
which was given publicity in the Baton
Rouge State several days since. and III
the Mansfield Journals issue of July 5.
There is no necessity of its publicalcil
in The Caucasian. In substance the
Governors letter is defensive of his po-
sition in the complication of the public
school board of DeSoto parish, which
The Caucasian has not attacked. The
Governor. nor was it unfair when it re
produced from the Mansfield Journal
the article in question.
1t appears that the issue is over the
attempt of removing Superintendent
Goss, who will not resign. Mr.. Goss Is
a lawyer and therefore can not give his
full attention to the duties devolving on
him as is expected Of practical teacher
whose whole time should be applied to
the affairs of the schools.
In this DeSoto parish complicu,2l it
is charged that the old board is not in
accord with the State Board and its
policy, and therefore a new board has
been named to supersede the old, who
will not resign, but are determined to
hold to the end, through process OF
law. 1t is unfortunate that the State
Board as any authority over the parish
boards, and that it is incumbent on the
Governor to enforce the law in these
unpleasant entanglements, but the State
Board should operate by the one rule of
fairness. As said by the Journal: 1T is
we'll known fact that the State Board
has not enforced this so-called policy il
the parishes of Sabine, Red River, Cad
do, Claiborne, Rapides, Bossier and,
perhaps. others. The superintendent of
all these parishes are lawyers, all of
them except Judge Moncure of Caddo
are practicing their profession. If this
is the policy of the State Board, why in
the name of consistency does it not en-
force it in all the parishes as well as in
DeSoto and the other two mentioned?'
On the next Legislature will devolve
the duty of abolishing the State Board
of Public Education, whose benefits to
the people and the public schools has not
been and can not be commensurate with
the money required to maintain this a,I-
tocratic authority in the Democratic
State of Louisiana.

MORE HOT AIR IN PROSPECT.
Weather Bureau Has No Comfort Out
lined for Washington.

Old Jupiter Pluvius tried hard to give
Washington and vicinity some cooling rain
yesterday afternoon, but only succeeded In
sending suggestion in the shape of a
slight sprinkle. The clouds in heavy banks
which overspread the sky yesterday fore
BODIED falling weather, according to the
prophets. but they were waited away on the
west breezes in the afternoon and were fol-
lowed by an inflow of hot air which sent
the downtown temperature up the tube to
the % mark at o'clock. AS the clouds were
being waited veteran weather man gazed
mournfully at the passing sky pictures and
remarked
''Those clouds were only meteorological
bluff"
Prof Frankenfield, after scanning the
weather map last night. said there had
been showers from Virginia northward to
New England, with others in the south and
far northwest.

but conditions will not be so oppressive. be-
cause the atmosphere will be less humid
There was a heavy shower in Baltimore

rainfall in sight for Washington.

Southern Grain Production.
ON the Manufacturers Record.

ron
For some years there was a considerable
decline in the attention given by the south
TO the production of grain and foodstuffs,
BIT with strong tendency of recent years
toward a greater diversity in agriculture,
the south is getting back relatively to the
position which it held in 1860 In tie raising
OF grain and live stock. For many years
a the war the south almost abandoned
as compared with conditions prior TO 1860.
the raising of its own food supplies de-
pending almost wholly on cotton, tobacco
and sugar as its main crops. While giving
increased attention to cotton production
and greatly enlarging the average annual
yield, it is at the same time giving renewed
attention to cereals and to live stock. Be
tween 1887 and 1896 the south raised an
aggregate of 6,2l3, J0i, l25 bushels of corr
wheat and oats. while for the ten years
ended with 1906 the production of these
cereals increased by I37, 101.959 bushels
equal to lis per cent, the total .eing
$3.50 COG .OS4 bushels.

CARTER MOTOR CAR.
Tests Made Prove Satisfactory to
COMPANY officials,

Those interested in the Carter Motor Car
Corporation have been viewing with consid-
cradle pride the new 1908 mo0el of the
Carter two-engine car which is being held
in this city for a week before being sent
to the jamestown exposition. where it will
be placed on exhibit in section 20 in the
machinery and transportation building.
The car itself is a dream, being the near
est approach to motor-car perfection yet
seen. 1t is finished in bright red black
striped. with canopy. and is equipped with
two 24-GO Carrico gasoline e-sines capable
of easily maintaining a speed of seventy
five miles an hour. The car is actually
the highest powered air-cooled touring
car in the world, and slides along
with the noiselessness of an electric ma
chine The general construction of the
is somewhat different from the 1907
model so familiar about our streets The
hood Is small and neat in design, and while
only one muffler was previously used there
are two upon the new car placed in an ele-
waited rear position. The entire mechanism
of the machine is neatly raised without
heightening the body of the car which
greatly increases its general attractiveness
Another new and prominent feature is the
unique appliance operating the acetylene
headlights upon the front axle. AS the
wheels turned to the right or left in
describing circle the lights act automati-
cally. turning with the wheels thus throw
ing the powerful rays directly upon the
road instead of off the side of the course
traversed, as Is now the usual case on
cars using such lights.
The Carter Motor Car Corporation, the
exclusive makers of these cars, invites the
closest scrutiny of the pubic and especially
of experts to the superior merits of its
new model. Mr.. Howard c. Carter the
inventor of this type of car and who has
the new machine in charge. states that the
performances of the car have more than
come up to his expectation.

special Correspondence Of The Star.
VIENNA, Va, July 90, 1907.
In connection with the reported sale of
the Washington. Arlington and Falls
Church railroad to the Old Dominion Rail-
ROAD Company comes the statement that If
the deal Is contaminated, the Old Domin-
ION VIII at once commence the erection of a
power house: that the road will be double
tracked: that additions will be made to the
rolling stock and that the spur being built
between Vienna and Prospect Hill by pri-
Vate capitalists. will be acquired and put in
running order as soon as possible. 1t can
also be stated that if the Old Dominion
company becomes he owner of the Wash
ington. Arlington and Falls Church rail-
road the sale will be subject to the claims
of the persons injured in the recent wreck
The statutes of Virginia make provision for
just such contingencies. 1t is not believed
by those interested in financial matters in
Alexandria and Fairfax counties that the
reported sale will be finally ratified until
the amount of damages to be paid by the
Falls Church road can be definitely ascer-
tanned
Pending these various contingencies 1t is
stated that the Washington. Arlington and
Falls Church railroad will establish D., tel
tons and that operators will be put in
charge and assume duties similar to those
on the steam railroads. 1t is also said that
the service between West Falls Church and
Vienna will be materially improved to &C
commodate the in 'reased passenger traffic
and to meet the demands for more frequent
service during the morning and afternoon
rush" hours.
There is also movement on foot to ask
for a cut in passenger rates between the
Aqueduct bridge and 10Th street. Washing
ton. ID. c.. and points beyond West Falls
Church.

1t is stated that instead of State
Senator Lewis H. Machen having no oppo-
sltion in the coming democratic primary
there will be candidates from Alexandria
county. Fairfax county and Prince William
county, making four asprants in the field.
Rev. F. w. Fisher has been elected to the
