SHORT ITEMS.
Little Pickups that Help to Tell
the News Of the Week.

One who has tried it suggests
that a good way, even if a slow
one, to get rid of ants in the
home is to place a sponge soaked
in sweetened water where the
ants pass. Then when the sponge
becomes covered with the in
seets, dip it in boiling water. A
number of repetitions of the
performance will destroy all the
ants in the nest where the ants
come from.
A session Of civil court will be
held on June 3 by Judge Pugh,
Another rain fell Sunday
night and all day Monday it was
cloudy and threatening another
downpour. The wet spell is in
terfering greatly with farming
operations and at present the
outlook is rather gloomy.
Work on both the new school
buildings is being pushed. and
if possible both will be finished
by September.
The crossing from the Rigues
corner to Mouton Bros. is too low.
Everytime heavy rain falls it is
covered with water. We would
suggest to the street committee
that raising the crossing would
be appreciated.

with Spain, Turkey and Russia
instead of the more enlightend
nations of the earth, and that 35
of our own states enforce laws of
compulsory education, with the
best of results, since such a law
has never been repealed after
once being tried. A chart was
displayed showing that the
criminals of France came almost
entirely from the illiterate, and
figures were given showing that
as illiteracy had decreased in
various countries criminality had
decreased likewise. Anticipa-
ting the arguments of the mega
tive that the greatest opposition
to the law in question was that
it brought in the problem of ne
gro education, Miss Ditch
showed that the experiments of
Virginia, Alabama and Georgia
in educating the negro had
proved it to be of advantage to
the white people. since it fur
nished more skilful laborers, and
also decreased crime notieeably
among the cOlored population.
Her argument closed with a
forceful statement that the
denial of education to the whites
for the sake of keeping the negro
in ignorance was a thing no true
Southerner would submit to.
Mr.. Samuel Caruthers opened
for the negative with the dec,
laration that the enforcement of
compulsory education in Louis
lana would be tyranny of the
worst kind, comparable only
with the acts of Nero in Rome.
1t would be robbing the parent
of his personal rights, for no
one else could so well decide
what would be for the best well
fare of his children. Following
the statement that compulsory
education drives every year a
great many of the best people
of Germany away from the
fatherland to our own shores
he declared that such a law
would throw our own State into
great disorder and be practically
impossible of enforcement. The
fact that such a bill was long
and carefully considered in our
legislature at it's last session and
that it was defeated was urged
as the decision of our wisest
statesmen. 1t was pointed out,
also, that it would be impossible
for the State to provide schools
for all the children, especially in
the city of New Orleans.
Miss Ludivine Badeaux closed
the constructive argument for
the affirmative by saying that
such law would mean as good
an education for the very poor
as for the very rich, and so
would build up class of citizens
who would be competent to
make of the State what it should
be. Practically all the civilized
nations of the world have such
laws, and have made their great
est progress since they were en-
acted. That education be made
compulsory would not mean loss
of personal liberty in the least,
but rather the deepest kind of
slavery is that of ignorance and
it's vices. The bringing in of
the race question was depre-
Gated, for the white children of
the State must have a good edu-
cation, no matter what becomes
Of the negro.

Parkersburg Sentinel.
In hia speech before the state
board of trade. Hon. Henry G. Da.
vie said that 1t was a matter of
record that no deposition in a bank
In WeSt Virginia ever lost cent
By reason Of ans thing that ever
happened to the bank.
At the time the remark was made
It pansed unnUtiosd because it was
OonsidsEsd q matter of course that
financial disturbances of any mo.
mont were practically unknown in
this state. beO6use the banks are
directed By the WiSsst conserVa-
tism and the people are consideIata
nd dilligent, capable of oomprs-
hhnding the cause as we'll as the
o ect Of conditions. Only two
other states in the Union present
8 good q record as West Virginia
\ this respect. 1t is an assurance
bf the sOundnsss and care With
which our financial matters are
managed.
In these days of disturbances
and doubt, It ig we'll to recall the
wise words of Mr.. Davis uttered at
= time when they could not have
any bearing upon q situation which
was q subsequent development
and which at that time could not
Be fornsen By one. They were
merely the natural and truthful
boats OF man of great wealth
whose greatest pride was in the
growth and development Of his ma
tive Sta.s. And they fit we'll the
present situation. No deposition

I'm GOD WE TRUST

About the thinnsst thing that
the President has ever written. in
our opinion, is his explanation as
to why the motto, "In God We
Trust" 10 omitted from the new
gold coins of the United States.
Some time since. Dir. Roosevelt
came to the conclusion that the de.
Gign of the gold coins minted by
the government were not as beau
tiful and artistic an they ought to
be. Accordingly some alleged AZ.
fist was commissioned to prepare
new designs, and the coins made
from them are now being ciEculat
cd. We have heard of no one who
admiTsB the new design, and pious
people have been greatly displeas
cd to note that the motto which
has been on them from time i'm.
memorial is left of altogether. In
explanation, the President has
written 3 letter, in which he ssys
the motto is left of the coins be.
cause people do not properly rev.
Orencs it and regard it With "lsVity
and Hnsering ridioule."
We think the Presidents sxpla-
nation is mighty lame. He might
az we'll abolish the Bible because
some folks joke about it. Indeed,
if everything we're to be abolished
that is not regarded with proper
reverence. this country would be
without most of its prominent
men, even including the President.
