CONTINUES TO GROW.
Transatlantic Steamship War Is Be.
COMING General.

coming General.
New York, Aug. 2S.-Shipping men
are watching with interest the trans
atlantic steamship war, which cOntin-
ues to grow. Every day has Its devel-
opments now, as one line after anoth-
er cuts the rate. If the conflict keeps
up much longer bargain hunters will
get a chance to 60 to Europe on shop
ping expeditions at cheap rates.
The causes of the fight are many
and varied. The steerage rate war,
which brought the trouble to a head,
is the direct result of the refusal of
one of the continental lines to per-
NIT the, Russian volunteer fleet to en-
ter the steamship conference and thus
have access to the conference agent
and the general business. The So
called conference was established by
agreement among the lines for the
purpose Of settling their differences
distributing business and maintaining
rates. 1t has now collapsed.
Other alleged causes for the fight
are the entrance of the new Cunarder
Lusitana into competition and the
trouble which started months ago over
q protest by the German lines against
the White Star lines minimum rate
for steamers of the Arabic and Baltic
class boats that draw the finest class
of tourists, but for which the company
demands a differential on account of
the slower speed Of these steamers.

An Absurd Idea.
Mansfield Enterprise.l


The plan for the election of School
Boards, as suggested by Superintendent
Aswell, and recommended by the recent
Teachers Convention at Shreveport, con-
templates that the Boards be composed of
nine members, to be elected at large from
the various parishes, and that the election
be held at the same time as the Congress
slonal election is held. It also suggests
that three of the nine members be elected
every two years, so that the Boards will be
continuous, so that the people could not
make any sudden radical changes in the
policy of the School Superintendent. The
idea is absurd, as the people are capable
of electing full new board at any time,
and for this alone, they insisted on electing
the members of the Board. The new law
as it now stands, provides that one member
shall be elected from each Police Jury
Ward. and that they shall hold Office for
four years. The teachers are all right in
their sphere, but they are frequently vis-
ionary, when it comes to practical methods
outside of the class room, and the law as
it stands should at least be given trial.
before they begin to talk about changing it.

S The Old World and it's Ways"

Col William Jennings Bryan announces
a new book of travel entitled "The Old
World and its Ways" which recounts his
recent tour around the world and his jour-
neys through Europe. It is profusely and
elegantly illustrated with 240 artistic en-
cravings representing men and things seen
in the various countries of the earth during
that noted journey. The engravings are
made from photographs taken by him or
his party specially for this publication. 1t
is the monumental literary work of his life,
and is published under his special super
vision. He has, by special contract with
his publishers, made the retail price low
down with the view to putting it within the
easy reach of every reader and book buyer.
The book gives his experiences-what he
saw and did-whom he met and his i'm
pressions and conclusions. He made a
profound study Of men and things as he
saw them in this noted journey around the
world. He gives governmental, educa-
tional, religious and other conditions, from
the standpoint of a student and one pro-
foundly interested in all the people Of the
earth.
While Col. Bryan travelled as a private
citizen he went with the prestige of having
made two memorable contests for the Pres
idency of the United States, and he was
everywhere recognized and entertained as
a great representative American, having a
leading part in the direction of American
affairs. He was given opportunity for
observations never before accorded to any
one travelling in private capacity
II one wants to see the world, and the
people who are at the head of affairs in all
countries, as we'll as the masses, he has in
this book an opportunity Of seeing them
through the eyes of Col. William Jennings
Bryan. It is sold by subscription, and the
Thompson Publishing Company of st.
Louis, are the fortunate publishers. They
are especially inviting opportunity to So
licitors in another column of this issue.

NATIONAL AID FOR PUBLIC EDUCATION.
claiborne Guardian-Journal. !

We claim to be second to none in our zeal
for the great cause of public education;
but we do not and cannot favor national
aid for our public schools. On the contra
ry, we are out and out, first, last and all
the time opposed to national aid for our
common public schools; and we are con-
strained to believe and to hope, that the
best sentiment of the South will be found
to be unalterably and uncompromisingly
opposed to such aid.
If there is anything which is outside the
sphere of the national government and
which is wholly and entirely within the
sphere of the State and local governments,
that thing is the common public schools of
the land. If we are to surrender these to
the general government, why not abolish
our State and local governments and have
one great, strong, centralized, paternal,
splendid national government?
Self-help is always the best help. It is
best foa an individual to do for himsef all
the things that he can do for himself. He
cannot accept outside assistance in such
instances without losing something Of his
manliness, independence, self-reliance and
self-respect. The same principle applies
to the community and to the State.
Furthermore, the South is not a mendi-
cant that 1t should stand, hat in hand, to
beg the bounty Of Massachusetts, Maine
and New York for the means for the edu-
cation of its children. We are able to ed
ucate our own children, The South is no
longer poor. Our material resources are
increasing rapidly, wonderfully; and our
schools will keep pace with our material
growth and development. In all the South
ern States, the cause of free education is
looking up and advancing, The cause is
very near the hearts of the people, and
they will care and provide for it literally.
Again, national aid to education would
tend to pepetuate the unjust, indirect and
Ubiquitous system of tariff taxation, which
puts many dollars into the pockets Of the
bloated protected interests for every one
that reaches the national treasury. With
federal appropriations to our schools once
established, all hope of tariff reform will
vanish for many years to come.
Lastly, national supervision and control
will naturally and logically follow national
appropriations. This is the very last thing
the people Of the South want under present
conditions. If Congress provides the
money for our public schools, Congress
will say how the money is to be expended
and how the schools are to be conducted.
1t is illogical and childish to deny this
proposition. Is the South ready for such
control? We apprehend that it is not, and
that it will spurn and repudiate the efforts
of mistaken and misguided zealots to
nationalize its free public schools. The
San Francisco school episode few months
since is warning enough as to this phase
of the question.

Government ownership of railroads has
not worked well in Canada. The control
of the Intercolonial Railway is costing the
taxpayers heavily. 1t is charged that the
easy working hours of the employees and
the constant effort of the party in power
to use the railway for all it is worth as
itical machine have caused a serious
hin upon the Dominion Treasury, while
the taxpaying public is obliged to meet the
deficit. Up to 1895 the Intercolonial rep
resented an investment of public money
OF s55,00O,000. The Liberals came into
power in that year, and have remained in
control until the present. During the twelve
years about s27 ,OOO, 900 has been added to
the capital account of the railway. A small
portion of this sum has been used for ex-
tensions and improvements. The rest was
required to meet the accumulated losses of
the road under Government management.
The road seems to be suffering from all
the ills that political control can produce.

recently. As member of the infamous
Louisiana Returning Board, in the Hayes

last survivor of the Board which stole the
electoral vote of this State from Samuel j.

by throwing out the vote of several parishes
gave the electoral vote of Louisiana to the
republican candidate for President. The
embroglio which followed is a matter Of
history. the votes Of Florida, Louisiana,

finally referred to the only electoral COM

GETTING READY FOR
STRAWBERRY CROP

The box factory Of the Davidson
Fruit company is busily engaged In
making strawberry crates and force
Is also employed In the manufacture
OF hallocks. Preparations are being
made by growers and shippers for the
crop, and the farmers are busy set
ting out plants. The warm weather
Of the past two weeks leads growers
to believe that there will be an early
spring and that berries this year will
be both plentiful and early. Esti-
mates made by authorities on the
subject place the crop this year at
between $1,000 and so, 900 crates and
the box factory here is now busy
manufacturing crates. The crop last
year was small owing to the frost
which came late in the season but
prices we're high. 1t Is not expected
that the high prices received last year
will obtain this season but IL 10
thought that the crop will be the
largest ever shipped out of Hood Riv-
or. A considerable increased acreage
has been put In berries this season.
