SCHOOL TAX SITUATION
Our Public Schools and Their Relati on
 to Northern Immigration

That taxes are high enough no one will dispute: but few people who have children to educate are going to vote less than the full mills in the coming May school meeting. The rapid de- velopment of the country demands a better educated citizenship. Unless the present generation have better school advantages in the South, they must take suhprdinate places in the future as Northern and Eastern immi- grafton is coming rapidly to this sec tion. Never before in the history of the nation has the South attracted so much attention. Our delightful cli- mate, our fertile and cheap lands, our unbounded possibilities in varriegated crops, our unlimited natural resources are attracting the attention of the most highly educated and cultured classes of the North and East. When the country is filled with these who have the superior advantages in school sys- !ems, our children must suffer by the process.
 Not that we would discourage this class of immigrants coming, for we need them to help develop our possibi- lities, but we say this to emphasize the importance of more money, a long CT school term, better teachers, better school houses and better school equip ment. The South is far behind the North and East in these matters and nothing but we'll filled school treas ury will ever suffice. We must not lower our taxes at the expense of our children. nor at a loss to our school interests. -El Dorado Times.

COOPER MET USUAL
 SUCCESS IN PITTSBURc
Received Thanks from Hundreds While in
 the Smoky City.

The following article, taken from the Pittsburg Press, describes the re- suits of l.. T. Cooper's visit to that city, and the effect of his new prepara- ton as told by people who had become convinced of the soundness of Cooper's theories with regard to the human stomach.
 Cooper believes that the human stomach in civilized races has become greatly weakened. He claims that most i'll health of the present generation is due to this fact. The article is as fol lows:
 "L. T. Cooper is meeting with the same astonishing success in Pittsburg as in other cities. For the past few days many thousands of Pittsburg peo- pie have called at his headquarters to talk with him.
 Cooper prophecy, made upon his arrival, to the effect that before he left Pittsburg thousands would realize that bis theory is correct and would come and th"nk him for what his medicine had done, is rapidly being borne out.
 "On Monday an astonishing number of people called to express their grati- tude to MT. Cooper. Judging from what some of these people had to say to a Press reporter, when interviewed,

Cooper's. claim that the human stom.. ach is degenerate is distinctly verified
 One of the most unusual statements was made by MT. c. w. Woods. of 1O3 South Highland Street. He said: For four years my wife was in very poor health. She was weak and thin. with a hectic flush and cough. Physicians said she had consumption, and I was inclined to believe them. It certainly looked as though her days were num- bered, and there appeared to be very little ground for hope.
 Shortly after MT. Cooper came to Pittsburg I began to hear of wonderful results that had been obtained by per- sons who had tried his medicine. so I got some for my wife. She had taken it only two days when she was relieved of a tapeworm 42 feet long. She be- gan to improve imnediately-ha gain- ed seven pounds since she began talk ing the medicine. She feels splendid and looks very much better. If any one doubts this statement I would be pleased to have them call at my house and verify it.

We are often told that prohibition doesn't prohibit. 3 In fact this is us- ually the first and main argument put forth by the man who opposes prohibi- tlon. Yet we see the national associa- tion of brewers and distillers spending thousands of dollars to defeat prohi- bition. If prohibition is such rank failure, why do the liquor men all over the country spend their money so .layishly attempting to defeat it? If there is as much liquor drank under prohibition as there is when we have open saloops, why do the liquor men oppose prohibition? That is an enigma The Journal has never been able to solve.
