ENTERTAINED EMPEROR UNAwAREs.
Monarch of the Sahara Was Here and Has
Gone-Shocked by Paris Tenant.

New York has been entertaining emperor
unawares, and jacques I, undisputed monarch
of the Sahara, heir of the ancient nomad princes
of the great desert, succeeded IN spending sew
eral weeks here without an inkling of his iden-
tity leaking out to those who usually entertain
crowned heads when they reach this city. New
port, far as can be learned, saw nothing Of
him, and to did he confide the usually
inevitable impressions of America"
Jacques I, who is, or was, Jacques Lebaudy,
of Paris, in private life. was here under that
name, but the general delivery window in the
postoffice here was his only address. and even
numerous cable messages sent to him by the
French Gable Company forwarded to him
by mail.
The Emperor Of the Sahara crowned himself
and he is, perhaps, not recognized as a brother
by the sOvereigns Of Europe. but he is an inter-
esting figure nevertheless. and has attracted n
good deal Of attention in France, and has been
a cause Of some concern, at one time and an
other, to the foreign offices in London and Paris

Yellow fever has been wholly stamped
out in Panama by the determination
of the species of mosquito that spreads
this disease. and malaria has been re-
drced to minimum. 1t is claimed
that sickness Is no more frequent in
the canal zone than in the average
city Of the United States. Yellow fever
was banished from Cuba under Amer
lean control. but returned again when
the native government allowed super
vision to grow lax. 1t has been driven

the island was resumed
1t is now recognized that the mosquito
is largely responsible for the preva-
lence OF malaria In certain localities.
and the suffering and annoyance for
which this insect is responsible have
hindered the development of districts
in the neighborhood of large cities and
kept down the values of real estate,
In recognition of this the New Jersey
Legislature recently appropriated $3.50

against the mosquito. and a corps of
sanitary experts has gone to work to
spy out the breeding places and treat

USEFULNESS GONE
Teachers Nor Pupils Can Longer Have
Respect for Hinl-A Plain Duty of
the Board

To the Editor of The Caucasian: AL
though comparative stranger, yet |
beg to thank you for your efforts to Sc
cure justice to the teachers in our pub
lie schools. Apart from the question as
to who is right in the controversy, is the
fact. that whether Dr. Blanton has been
imposed upon or sought to impose upon
others, 1t is nevertheless true that his
usefulness is at an end The moral eff
feet of this controversy upon the pupils
is perncious and bad, and not one pupil
can longer have any respect for him.
The value of the teaching in a school
Is always secondary to the moral influ-
cnce exerted by a teacher looking to-
wards the formation of character. AS
far as | have been able to ascertain,
public sentiment is in line with your
editorial of Sunday: Or Bianton's in
fluence over the teachers and students
is at an end, and he ought to resign"
beg to suggest that you interview a
large number of our citizens relative to
this matter and publish their views as
to: what the Board of Education ought
to do under the circumstances be-
lieve that if such all expression of opin
ion could be mountaineering from
patrons, lawyers, doctors, merchants.

TOP-HEAVY SCHOOL SYSTEM
The New Orleans States thus refers
to the top-heavy school system of that
city: "We have prepared an elaborate
and costly system, comprehensive
enough to conduct a public school

number of schools and pupils that
we now have. and with high sal
aried ornamental officers With the
administrative plant that we have in
New Orleans competent administra-
ton could successfully operate the en-
tire school system of Louisiana and
Mississippi and still have leisure enough.
We have gone far enough in the direc
ton of piling up salaries for officials,
and must now turn our attention in the
opposite direction. Let us do something
for the teachers in the lower grades.
Let us make it worth while for them to
teach our children. Let us pay more
money to the people who work and less
of it for ornamental purposes and the
results will be much more satisfactory

bills Booster Banner.
