Louisville Courier-Journal: According
to the naturalists the varieties of small
birds that are either useless or harmful to
agriculture are very few and the varieties
that are at once valuable and ornamental
are many. There are excellent practical
reasons why the farmers should wish to
see the bird laws enforced and why mothers
and fathers should teach their children
that wanton destruction of bird life is as
harmful as it is cruel. While the conserya-
ton of natural resources is under discus
sion in many parts of the country we should
not forget that the birds which fight the
insects and the rodents in forest and field
constitute natural resource by no means
negligible to agriculture.

Home Made Syrup.
T Monroe Star.1

There has been wonderful increase in
the production Of home made syrup by the
farmers of Ouachita Parish this year and
it is the best and purest made anywhere.
There is no adulturation whatever. 1t is
absolutely pure. It retails at sixty cents
the gallon, canned or jagged. Besides
being better than the South Louisiana
product or that put up by canning houses,
it is cheaper. Much of the So called syrup
we buy from abroad never saw sugar
cane field, and has no sugar juice in it. 1t
is almost entirely made of chemicals. Our
people, therefore, should buy the home
product-pure ribbon cane juice-both
from an economical and a health stand
point. All our merchants, both of Monroe
and West Monroe, handle it. Our farmers
have engaged extensively in the industry;
our merchants have undertaken to furnish
them the market, and it is up to the con-
sumers, the people generally, to maintain it.
There is now more pure made syrup on the
market than ever before in the history of
nome
product the preference and encourage the
industry. It is to the material interest of
all to do so. Not a gallon should be bought
that is brought from abroad.
No doubt the advent of the boil weevil
has had something to do with this increase
in the production of home made syrup, but
it would have come without that. It has
been gradual and constant for the past
several years, and this has been SO because
the farmers have found it profitable. It is
ready money crop, and stands in good
stead now that the boil weevil has come.
So let's practice what we preach. This is
diversification. Encourage it. Buy the
home product because it is better and
cheaper.

| Marion A. Baker, Confederate veteran
and one of the most accomplished OF
Southern journalist, died in New Orleans
Monday morning. He was associate and
| literary editor of the Times Democrat and
a brother of Page M. Baker and Henry H
Baker, of that journal.
George Glover Cooper, one of the best
known printers of New Orleans, and q
Lieutenant in the Confederate Army, dice

jority of the parishes cast less than hal
their primary vote. The Republican vote
in the State increased from sos, in 1904
to 1868, or 70 per cent. The voters showed
more aversion to the salary grab amend.
ment, raising the State superintendent
salary from $4,000 to 5000, than any othe
amendment. Following is the vote on thu
formerly repudiated grab: For, 1,150
against, II, 401.

The only way to keep the public schools
and high priced and expensive universities
and colleges of this State from dabbling in
political matters, is to put the management
of the entire school system absolutely in
the hands of the people. 1t can easily be
done, if the people will Internationally de-
mand it from their law makers. The peo-
pie should rule, and they will eventually
rule, for the signs of the times are plainly
and truthfully told in the following para
graph from the Houston Chronicle: 'This
is the twentieth century, and the spirit of
the age, which has giants strength and
uses it like giant, is Democracy. The
people insist upon being considered and
upon ruling their own country"

Should Be Abolished.
Louisiana Democrat.

The assessment rolls of Rapides Parish
were rejected by the State Board of Equal
ization, because of alleged land shortage
and reduced assessments, but subsequently
accepted by President Wallace.
If the President is clothed with power to
reverse, annul and set aside the authorita-
tive action of the Board in such important
matters, its membership can easily be dis
pensed with, and save the extra expense to
the State.
There can be no approximation even to
an equalization of assessments in this State.
1t is gymnastic feat physically impossible
Of accomplishment.
This Board is a Legislative freak, of
which that body gives US many specimens
at every biennial session.
1t should be abolished at the next ses-
sion, as it gives nothing in the nature of a
quid pro quo for the compensation which
it receives and the State has no more use
for it than wagon has for fifth wheel.
1t is only one of the many jobs "turned
out" by the Legislative grist mill at every
session, to take money out of the treasury
with which to satisfy the inordinate appe-
tites of the hungry faithful, who cling to
the ship of State with the tenacity of
barnacles.
Since the foregoing was written, news
comes from Baton Rouge that the Auditor
has, and very properly so, repudiated the
illegal and unauthorized action of Presi-
dent Wallace, by refusing to accept the
assessment roll of Rapides Parish. This
leaves matters in statu quo and suspends
the collection of taxes until an adjustment
OF differences has been reached.

night, and Thomas Bourland, charged with
their abduction, was placed in Jail. Bour-
land admitted that he had no intention of

The Journal says nearly S., 900 in cash
premiums was paid by the State Fair last
Friday, the prizes ranging from ST to
SIS. A majority of the winners were
Shreveport people, and residents Of Caddo
and Bossier Parishes, especially in the
women's department. In the poultry de-
partment most of the lucky exhibitors were
from other States. Many of the live stock
exhibitors were also non residents, but the
number Of local exhibitors in this depart
ment, as in the other divisions of the fair,
was larger this year than heretofore.
Among the largest checks was S75 to Mr..
George Epple of Shreveport, whose prem
iums on hogs and horses totaled that
amount.
Shreveport Times: The caring for the
insane of the parish is becoming problem
with Sheriff Flournoy and Jailer Gamblin.
The asylum is too crowded at present to
admit any more patients and until more
room is made the sheriffs of the different
parishes must care for the insane as best
they can. Within the past few weeks two
or three new patients have been admitted
to the parish Jail, among them one
young white girl. The sheriff is caring
for them the best he can but of course they
do not receive the treatment they would at
the asylum. There is no exercise given
them there, they are merely confined in
the cells. It of course is impracticable to
lock any two insane persons in the same
cell as ordinary prisoners are and they
therefore occupy much more room than the
same number of sane prisoners would do.

Estate superintendent Schools Cousins
appeals for removal of political influence
from public Schools" says the Houston
Chronicle. We know how to sympathize
with Texas in her misfortune Owing to
his greed for larger salary and vaulting
ambition for political preferment of a
former State Superintendent, and under
his direct manipulation, the public school
system of Louisiana has become a part of
the political machine of the State, with no
hope of relief until all usurpatory legisla-
ton is repealed by the Legislature and the
oppressive methods introduced are indig-
nantly repudiated by the people.

THE STATE PRESS.

Assumption Pioneer: The liquor man
has not been forced out of the State, but he
has been cornered.
Winfield Sentinel: It is pleasant to wit
ness in North Louisiana mills in operation
making syrup from the cane raised by the
thrifty farmers of the hill parishes.
Assumption Pioneer: The shooting
down of prominent reformers seems to be
popular with a certain set of political
grafters. Do they flatter themselves that
by starting campaign of blood they will
stop the fight that is going on throughout
the country for clean and decent govern
ment.
Louisiana Democrat: The public is be-
coming nauseated with the interminable
details Of the contemplated Elkins- Abruzzi
nuptials, which are paraded daily in the
newspapers before the popular gaze. Can't
some one hurry it up or call it off, so that
we may not be perpetualIy reminded of and
forget it? The truth is, that the purchase
Of titled noblemen by American heiresses,
with more money than good taste and
discriminating judgment, is becoming dis
gracefully monotonous.
Shreveport Caucasian: tits being grad
ually forced on the most conservative and
law abiding of citizens that what is called
law is simply mockery and that justice
is delusion when applied to individuals
charged with crime, having some friends
and some influence, and that such being
the case the only self-reliance of the law
abiding citizen lies in his ability to protect
himself, if he can, against the assassin and
the murderously inclined. Law with its
technicalities; justice misled as rule with
few exceptions, operate to liberate crimi-
nails who should be in the pen, if SO for
tunate as to escape legal hanging.
