WHAT THE BARD WANTS
Sweet Singer of Alamo
Wants Poolrooms Abol-
ished, He Does.

James Elemore. the Sweet Swan OF
Alamo is tickled to death that the
county option bill passed.
Mr.. Elmore, it will be remembered
is the gifted poet who lectured in Ham
mond last year under the auspices of
the University club.
The Charlottesville Journal says:
Jim Elmore was in town long
enough this week to express his great
satisfaction with the new county local
option law. Now, said he, IF they
will just pass a law abolishing pool
rooms from cigar stores and another
frcing clothiers to guarantee the
amount of wool in suit of clothes
things will be just about right in old
Indiana"

WANTS MORE MEN TEACHERS.
Prof. Hall Says Those We Have Are
Becoming ''Sissies.''

Chicago, Jan. "a dispatch to the
Record-Herald from Des Moines. Ia,
says:
President G. Stanley Hall of Clark
university stirred the delegates to the
Iowa state teachers convention yes
terday in an address in which he de-
clared that there We're too many
women teachers in the schools and
that American schools were becoming
"effeminized. There are 1.4O0 teach
.ers attending the convention and
nearly three fourths CT them are
women.
1.-The time has come" said Presi-
dent Hall, "for a movement of mems
rights. For 80 years we have had a
war for women's rights and now the
pendulum has swung too far. This is
an age of over-feminization. especially
in the schools. Men should be prin-
cipals, with men under them, so that
they will be contradicted once in a
while. In the schools now, where we
find men principals, they have only
women under them and the men are
becoming 'sissies.' -

MORE PENSION FOR WIDOWS.
That Is Effect of Bill Proposed by
Senator Long,

Washington, Jan. 3.-Senator Long
will introduce. next Monday. a bill
that will radically amend what Is
known as the pension act of 1890, as
amended by the act of May 8, 1900, SO
as to permit widows of veterans of
the war of the rebellion greater
privileges.
The BILL as proposed, will raise the
Widows rate under that act TO S12.
It is now IS. Also the bill will pro-
vide that the limit of $3.50 annual net
income which existing law provides a
widow shall not exceed in order to
avail herself of the privileges of this
law, be abolish ned; and that any widow
of a veteran who served 80 days and
was honorably discharged, and who
married the soldier prior to June 81
1890, shall be pensioned at $12 per
month.
Senator Long has had this matter
under consideration for several
months, and is convinced that the
time has come for widows of all hon
orably discharged soldiers to receive
S12 per month. He also believes that
the present requirement that widow
under the act of 1890 shall not have to
exceed $3.50 annual income to entitle
her to pension is wrong, and should
be abolished. AS it is now, it has the
effect of placing the burden of proof
entirely on the widow and not on the
pension Office, resulting in technical
burdensome and annoying cross ex-
animation of widows. who are, in
most cases, entirely deserving
