SCHOOL MAAms AND CORN DOC roRs.


condemning the proposition to pension
teachers as "tommyrot," "claptrap,"
and applying such other epithets Of
contempt as occur to the mind on the
j. spur Of the moment. One weekly, whose
editor, as postmaster, draws about
three times the salary he could earn
! at anything else, declares there is no
more sense in the proposition than in
one to pension corn doctors. Along
with these expressions upon the PEN
sion proposition might be grouped a
similar bouquet Of criticism handed the
teachers who have proposed sys-
: tenn OF agitation for higher wages thru
system Of chain letters. The school,
ma'ams are getting 1t going and COM
Ing
Putting aside the present availability
OF o pension system for teachers, It
would seem that the suggestion would
bear kinder and more logical discuss
sion. Few Of the newspapers who
scontemp tuously dismiss the idea Of q
teachers pension object, openly at
least, to pensions for veteran soldiers
Most of them would break out In Law
ish praise Of the generosity Of the Bur-
4 lmgton or Northwestern in granting
half pay or less to an employe who had
SPENT his life In their service. Still
no man need be volunteer soldier, and
: there are other avenues for labor than
ratlroading: It might be argued with
justice that the elements OF danger to
life is not more q. part Of splendid serv-
Ice than complete devotion to the pub
lie service in other apd less personally
4 hazardous employment and that the
public schools are guile as much a
part of such service as a standing army
or a stretch OF steel rails. 1t might be
added. without prejudice to any pro-
fession, that comparison OF corn doctors
n to teachers indicates on the part Of
persons making the comparison q more,
fertile field for the former than for
the latter profession.
We have arbitrarily Communicated
the married woman teacher out OF
business. Perhaps someone knows
why The schoolma,am who sticks to
her work must give up a home and
children Of her own to train the OFF,
spring of others. She Is as much
member of camp and garrison as any
enlisted man. Her wage holds to the
parallel. She grows old like other men
and women grow old. When the SOL
der and the railroad man find the
grasshopper a burden, grateful peo-
pies and just corporations pension
them. What shall we do with the
teachers? II 1g,.
s There Is general carelessness that
amounts to contempt for the profess
sion Of teaching. Socially the teachers
who are OF the best Of our women, fail
to meet the recognition that is their
due. In q business way they are denied
the financial reward generally granted
to capacity and education Too often
their public service is minimized, as in
the case Of the editor, who, possibly
more troubled with bunions than
headache. compared the Iowa school,
lam to q corn doctor.

The Des Moines Register and Leader
says The bubble over 1000. more or

! ton of the monuments at Vicksburg,
and Chattanooga, and Shiloh, and
Andersonville, so long as 1t does not
involve any question of peculation or
acknowledgement, but is directed mere

\ providing for the presentation Of
Iowa, is a bubble that would be char
acteristic of some miser who, having
decided to erect small monument
| in the memory OF his, wife, should
stand suit for the collection of the
claim because In placing the stone it
had been found that the estimated
cost Of the Wirk had been exceeded

IF the 2-cert fare does away with
| the ordinary and average excursion
train, that also is to be counted on as
a blessing" says the Cedar Rapids Re-
publican.
when hogs are $3.50 and corn 80
cents it is almost crime to allow a
single ear of corn leave Worth county,"
declares the Northwood Anchor
It IS the impression Of the Sheldon
Daily Sun that 'sthe 'standpat' papers
knew that they were disappearing
matters, but they had their 'whack' at
Governor Cummins, just the same, and
they didn't care anything about wlleth-
err it was justifiable or not. That
.standpat' gang is decidedly rank" con-
cludes the Sun.
| To the mind Of the Des Moines
News '.the lesson of Philadelphia shows
! only this: Spasmodic good citizenship
persistent organized graft"
"The family mileage book PROPOSE
| ton is attractive at first glance" says
the Odebolt Chronicle, but after a
fellow buys one, how is he to keep his
wife and children at home, while
there is a coupon left in the book?"
WELL concludes the Sioux City
Journal, ''if the family mileage book
shall not be issued it may mean the
elimination OF possible cause for di-
vorce.
"She merciful man Is merciful to his
beast" quotes the Des Moines Cap
ftal, and then adds: "The man who
will leave his horses unblanketed and
tied to hitching post this weather
is himself parody on manhood, and
ought to be made to apologize for OBJ
truding himself upon the company of
dumb brutes."
Observing that Iowa school teachers
have started a campaign for higher
wages, by means of an endless chain"
of letters, the Council Bluffs Nonpareil
suggests This seems rather an old
fashioned method to be employed by
exponents OF intelligence and progress
iveness."
"If the railroads." says the Fort
Dodge Post, Twill stop giving rebates,
stop watering their stocks, expecting to
make dividends on the water-in other
words, il they will deal fairly with the
people, they will have no difficulty in
making dividends on 2-cent fares, plus
reasonable and just freight rates"

eral hundred per cent profit upon their
investment. And that is what has Gre
ated or at least stimulated the land
hunger among so many Iowa farmers.
They note that there are a million i'm
migrants pouring into the country in
single year and they note that
tho this is an immense country,
still there is a limit, and that land
which is still very cheap in some To-
calities, must eventually rise every
where. The most desirable land will
probably advance in price as rapidly as
did !. the cheap Iowa lands of a few
years ago. And if they are ON the
ground and assist in the development
of the country they will accelerate that
increase.
There is much of mere speculation in
the cheap land craze. And after all it
shows that the farmer is wiser than
his brother in the town. For he has
not invested millions upon millions in
Oil stock that was absolutely worth
less; he has not invested his hard
earned savings in mines that do not

WHATS THE MATTER.

What is the matter with the
State Railroad Commission, is the
question that is being asked by
the merchants and shippers of this
City Has it forgotten that there
is a strong petition of the Board of
Trade asking that New IBERIA be
placed in the list Of jobbing cen
ters or does it take months and
months to decide this momentous
question
Several months ago. or at the
same time New Orleans jobbing
interests presented a claim that
it was being Disseminated against.
this petition went before the Com
missioners A special representa-
tive of the Board Of Trade went
TO Baton Rouge and laid the mat
ter before the body and later
briefs were sent to Baton Rouge
to enable the COMMISSIONERS to de
termlne the question.
But after all these months there
has been no decision although the
other question submitted by New
Orleans has been answered. and
the question is why should not
New Iberia s plea have been an
sWered also.
According to the report from
Baton Rouge, New Orleans Job
blng interests were given a knock
out blow by the Commission. They
claimed that they were being dis
eliminated against in favor of the
centers of the interior.
The rulings of the Commission rel
alive to the matter are as follows:
Ordered. That Oh and after Jan
Is, 1908. no railroad companies
IN the State of L0uisi-
ana shall, on Joint through ship
ments Of freight in less than car
load quantities, be allowed to
demand. receive. or col
lect any amount greater than the
sum Of the lowest local rates in eff
feet for their proportion of the
carriage of such shipment.
Provided, That no Joint through
rates which are lower than the
said combination shall be disturb
FL. and
Provided further, That where
lhe mileage rate, less 10 per cent
IN any commodity is lower than
he commodity rate so formed. |
hen the lowest combination shall |
lpply.
1t is further ordered. That on
md after Jan. Is. 1908. all rates.
'ulings, tariffs. authorities. or ord
rs, in conflict herewith are de-
dared cancelled, and are there
lfter null. void and of no effect.
The commission also fixed
chedule of rates for native-grown
louisiana hay in carloads between
Producing points and other points
n the State.

1t has been determined to put an
end to the stealing of timber in the
swamps and woodlands of this
Parish and as a result of the ag-
CITATION that has been going on
among the landed owners two
men, Clayton Carlin and Lewis
ISybel were brought to the Parish
jail from Jeanerette today to an
swer the charge of larceny of tim
Der. The complainant is Mr..
Hazard Vaughn, who owns many
acres Of timber both in this Par
| lsl1and III others near by and it is
lalleged that these men with others
| Tor whom the deputy sheriffs are
Hooking have taken large amount
Iof timber that they were not en-
titled to cart off
At is a well known fact that
large sections Of the South and
particularly the school sections
have almost denuded Of timber by
Ipersons who had no right to the
same Some of the school sec
tions in this Parish are now nearly
of no value because of these thefts
and as there has been no effort in
the past to protect these lands the
thieves have become bold.
One Of the school sections of
this Parish has it is said some
thing like $4,000 worth Of timber
on it that is as yet untouched and
at a recent meeting of the Board
of Education preliminary steps
were taken looking toward its
sale. 1t was decided that so long
as there was no way for the Board
of Education to guard the timber
from the thieves it would be bet
ter to dispose Of the land before
this amount Of money is actually |
stolen from the schools.
But as a general rule there has
not been much pilIage Of private
lands owned by individuals. They |
have kept guard over their prop
erty but it seems from the com
plant made by Mr.. Vaughn that
some timber stealing has been go
ing ON in isolated spots and places
hard to watch

There is movement on foot IN
this City to induce the Southern
Pacific Railroad TO run its motor
ear service to the oil field at ,Anse
La Butte to this City instead of to
Lafayette only. 1t is the opinion
that since the travel to and from
the field is so heavy from this City
where there large number of in
terester parties, it would be for
the benefit of the people here to
have the motor ear start from the
station here and thus obviate the
change at Lafayette.
Whether or not the schedule
could be made to fit is question
but it would seem from the
schedules of the motor ear as at
present arranged there would be
plenty of time for it to come here
and make this City the terminal
point. 1t is said that the motor
ear should make connections here
with the Oriole train that leaves
for the West from Lafayette at
J 20 a. m, also with the train that
reaches Lafayette at 6:1O D. m
The motor car reaches LAFAYETTE
low at 4 40 p. m, and leaves there
It $3.50 a. m. 1t would appear
hen there would be time for it to
tart from here and make the con |
lectlons. 1t is understood that
he Board of Trade will take up
he matter with the railroad com
amy.

Owing to his presence of mind
Mr.. Frank j. Dauterive. candidate
for nomination for Representative
from this Parish, saved himself
from being robbed by negro last
Inight. Before the incident was
over the robber was the more scar
ed of the two.
Mr. Dauterive was on his way
home after making call about
half past eleven o'clock when it
began to rain. He stopped under
an awning at the corner of st.
Peter and Iberia streets and wait
ed few moments. Then he start
ed toward his furniture store Tor
an umbrella, going along St.
Peter street. He noticed as he
stepped out that there was a
erouching form at the coroner of
the alley in front of the Catholic
church but thought it was a dog.
AS he got near to it he noticed
that 1t was a negro and suspect
ing that the man was there for
no good purpose lie started to pass
hlm on the edge of the sidewalk.
When directly opposite the man
he Strengthened up and pointed
revolver at Mr.. Dauterive. order
ing him to give up all he had in
his clothes.
Mr.. Dauterive had a pistol in his
)Vercoat pocket, a new one that |
ne had Just purchased and think
ng OF 1t he drew back trying to
get at it. The negro observing
he movement turned and fled.
just then Mr.. Dauterive got
ms pistol out and fred one shot

ran toward the back of a

KANSAS CITY SOUTHERN.

News haa been received here that
the o0ustJ aotion Of the Central OF
Louisiana Railroad, a line from
Leesyille to New Orleans, a dis.
lance of 220 miles, will be resumed
in the spring. This is one of the

Democrat Of today has set many
thoughts going and there Is 4
wonderment here il there is really
any foundation for the report. In
one particular the item is wrong
IN that it says that the proposed
line is one Of the Frisco projects.
1t is supposed 10 be one Of the

report in this City but there are

the Office force would not have |
