Even when you must go toI
work at an early hour do not
train yourself to depend on an
alarm which gives q shock to the
nervous system. Go to bed with
the fixed idea il yOnr brain to
awaken at a certain hour, and 1t
rarely fails that your eyes pop
open at the minute.
If it be we'll to sleep until re
freshed, it is not we'll to indulge
in the habit of turning over for
another nap. Get up as soon as
you awake, and you will not be
sluggish and stupid for several
hours of the morning.
Don't be one of those persons
who says with an air, I never
sleep in the daytime.' If you
have any regard for your looks
and health you will take a short
rest each day, even though you
think you can not possibly sleep
If won't be long before you are

Remember there is nothing

Sleep.

There can be no hard and fast
rules set for the length of time
one should sleep, wisely remarks
an exchange. All depends on
the person and temperament.
One is told that brain workers
and those of a nervous nature
need more sleep than others,
yet some of the greatest think
ers in the world sleep but four
or five hours a night, with no i'll
effects. A good rule to follow is
to sleep until one is refreshed,
whether that is five hours or ten.
If possible do not be called.
This is particularly important
for growing children. Some
parents make a fetish of early
hours for their children and
think so much of getting them
out of lazy habits that they do
not consider their nervous sys-

applicants will be examined at
the colored school.
The examination will begin at

Good Points Made by Mr.. Wickliffe.

The Catholic Fair at BruSly
Sunday, was distinguished by
the public speaking of the candi-
dates for Congress from this
district, Messrs r. G. Wicklitfe,
Victor Lefebvre and George
Favrot. The last named spoke
first, Mr.. Wickliffe second, an
advantageous position secured
by lot.
1t is reported generally that
Mr.. Wickliffe made a fine speech
and produced a pronounced i'm
preston. The people in that
section showed the widest en-
thuSiasm to see and hear him.
In his speech, Mr.. Wickliffe
made the following good points.
First, II believe in the good
old Democratic doctrine, laid
down by Thomas Jefferson, of
equal rights to all and special
privileges to none" Mr.. Wick
life went on to show that since
1886 the congressional nomina-
ton had never left East Baton
Rouge, and really since 1876, the
parishes now composing the
Sixth Congressional District new
er had d candidate for this hon
or, except Baton Rouge. He
thought that it was about time
that some of the other parishes
were being recognized. In 1880
E. W. Robertson, of East Baton
Rouge, was elected to Congress;
in 1886 Andrew S. Heron, of
Baton Rouge, was chosen and
died in Congress and Robertson
was named as his successor.
Twenty years ago E. W, Robert.
son died and his son Colonel
Sam M. Robertson, Of Baton
Rouge, was named, and then
| two years ago George K. Favrot
of Baton Rouge, defeated Mr.
Robertson. "Practically since
1876 they have been coming tC
us and asking us in the other
parishes to support the nomi
nee," said Mr.. Wicklitfe, "and
we have been doing it. Now
want to go to Baton Rouge just
once, and ask the boys down
there to support the nominee
There was another reason why
he should be sent to Congress
and not Mr.. FavrOt-- that was
because Of the very vital issues
which Mr.. Favrot had himself
referred to-the negro issue
The Sixth District should senC
to Congress a man who has NJ
holes in his political coat. Wher
the Constitutional Convention
| was hel0 in 1893 Mr., FaVrot
made the great mistake of voting
against the proposed conStitu
tiOnal amendment DISTINGUISHING
the negro. He said he did mo-
attack Mr.. FavrOt'S motives il
voting against the suffrage law
that DISTINGUISHED the negro
because he knew that Mr.. Fav
rot did not do it because he loved
the negro, but because he
thought the law unconstitutional
How could Mr.. l'aVrot, however
answer Mr.. Crumpacker in the
halls of Congress if we was ask
ed by Mr.. Crumpacker why il
was that he voted against the
disfranchisement of the negro
in his own State of Louisiana

Dangerous Letting Alone.

of the South. 1t hinders com
mercial growth. Now the |
Greenburg Echo suggests it for
education in Louisiana. That
paper starts off well as follows:
Judging from the tone of the
press throughout the State and
from the talk we hear among our
people, it seems that the most
unpopular work done by the
last legislature is the Marks bill
especially that part of it defin-
ing the manner of electing par
ish superintendent and their
qualifications.
Cone serious objection urged
against this law is that it takes
away from the people the right
to say who shall serve them and
vests in the hands Of a board APP
pointed by the Governor and the
place to be given to some polltl-
cal henchman. Another objec-
ton that is urged against it, and
in our opinion the most plausi-
bic one, is that in many OF the
parishes no man can be found
who would take the job that
could secure the required certl-
ficate from the State Board.
That very condition prevails
right here in St. Helena, and if
any weight is to be given to the
words, practical educator" :,
then q man will have to be import
ed here to take the job, and this
our people will never submit to,
nor does the law permit a man
to hold an office in any parish
wherein he is not a qualified
eleCtOr.
SO far, so good but the follow
ing paragraph offsets all that
went before:
1--WE greatly admire Mr.. AS
well for his ability and for what
he has accomplished in advanc.
ing the cause of education since
he has been at the helm. From
his experience and acknOwl-
edged patriotism, he must have
thought this a wise law and knew
that it would work the greatest
good to the greatest number, and
let us 90 forward and give it a
fair and honest trial, as we must
operate under it for the next
two years, and if it proves to be
a bad law then demand it's re,
peal"
This is a let-alone policy with
a vengeance! We also admire
Mr.. AsWell, but only as we ad
mire Alexander Hamilton. The
latter had no confidence in the
ability of the common people tC
rule. Neither has Mr.. Aswell
Only let the latter become a con
vert to Home Rule, and we viii
l.ail him as q second Jefferson.
Meanwhile, we have no doubt.
Mr., ASWell likes this new law
Carried out to its logical results,
it VIII easily make Mr.. Aswel
governor, or Head Of the De
partment Of Education in per
pctuity, whichever he chooses.

TO GIVE A CLASSIC PLAY
The Students of the College of EN-
poria Will Present "Agamemnon."

Emporia, Kan, March 27.-The Greek
play, "Agamemnon," by Aeschylus, will
be put on by the Greek department of
the College of Emporia The first
presentation will be Saturday after
noon and will be complimentary to the
Classical association of Kansas and
western Missouri, which will meet in
Emporia Friday and Saturday A Sec
ond presentation will be made next
Tuesday night.
The English translation of DIR. Will
liam w. Goodwin will be used except
in the choruses, which will be from
Plumptre. The chorus passages will
be somewhat abridged.
This is the first time 'Agamemnon"
mas neen attempted in this part of the
country, and the Rev. John r. Wilkie.
head of the Greek department of the
college, says that While the attempt
savors of considerable assurance for
so small a school. he feels that his
students will justify it. Mr. Wilkie is
experimenting all the details of put
ting on the play, and he is assisted by
Mrs. Wilkie. who is a teacher in the
academy. The College of E.nporia is
the synodical school of the Presbyter-
ian church Of Kansas, and its students
and faculty are noted for their high
grade work
The costumes for the play are hand
for the scenes in which they will ap-
pear. Charles Nicholas, a college stu
dent, has designed and is making and
painting the scenery. which will be
elaborate. The stage in Austin chanel
is about 10x35 feet and will be length
ened several feet for this play The
chapel will seat 500 persons
DIR. Richard Green Moulton of the
University of Chicago gave interpreted
tive reading of "Agamemnon'' in his
series of lectures in Emporia in Janu-
airy, which was considered especially
helpful to the putting on of the play bv
the students. The play, as given at
Harvard in 1906, was one of the most
successful ventures of that institution.
Three performances were given and
| the Harvard Graduate Magazine saws
| that the acting required in such a SET
| ting was so different from that of the
modern stage that it is hard to arrive
at any comparative criticism.
