WORPIME Mt.

Inauguration is like a magnifying glass,
through which we see things larger than
they are in reality. 1t not only makes an
ticipated pleasures greater than real ones,
but it magnifes the ills and troubles OF life,
so that one suffers more from worries than
from real distress. Thus in the presence OF
pain fretful person, in an almost constant
state of worry, may become calm; in the
presence of danger an apprehensive person
may be rendered cool and collected. 1t has
frequently been observed that timid women
become Drawer than men when a sudden
calamity falls upon them. The reality does
not appear to them as great as that which
their lively inauguration had pictured, and
they feel a sense of relief when the phan
toms have vanished. Worriment is partly
matter of temperament, but largely a
matter Of habit. 1t grows upon those who,
not being actively employed with real
things, have leisure to allow the magma
ton to conjure up fancied evils. 1t is
bar to happiness and should be avoided as
much as possible.
Work which engages the attention and
brings with it. real annoyances prevents
worriment about imaginary troubles or the
anticipation of evils to come. Even those
who fret and worry recognize that it is
altogether useless to get into such a frame
of mind. They can accomplish nothing by
picturing in their minds the effect of
troubles which may, after all, be avoided,
and yet when they have nothing else to do,
and have acquired the habit of worrying
about the future, they are the helpless
slaves Of their own disordered imagination.
1t is not possible for any one, however,
to wholly control the imagination. At times
and under certain conditions the strongest
become a prey to their fears. Shakespeare
has finely pictured the effect of magma
ton upon the strongest characters, as Mac
beth and Richard Ill. Worriment weakens
one physically, unnerves him, SO to speak,
and renders him incapable of meeting sue
cessfully the real trouble when it shall
come. 1t is to be avoided by keeping a
clear conscience, by active work and by
resistance to the habit of worry, which
may be helped by philosophical reflection
on the uselessness of ''meeting troubles
half way or in imagination.

All this talk about excepting the schools
out of politics. is vile humbuggery, and
is intended to deceive the public. The
"system" is honey -combed with politics;
has been for the past four years, and it will
continue to be political power as long as
the State Superintendent can make it con-
tribute to his financial advantage and po-
litical advancement. "Keep the schools
out of politics. says the artful dodger!
Why mock our misfortune?

THE STATE PRESS.

New Orleans Picayune: The rottenness
in the heart of every country is greater
menace of danger than that of foreign
nations.
Mansfield Enterprise: Congressman
Watkins will have walk for re-elec-
ton, the opposition having failed to ma
terialize. The timber proposed did not
measure up to the standard of excellence.
Monroe Star: 1t seems that our legis-
lators have forgotten many of their ante.
election promises and pledges. Before
election there is always much talk of pub
lie officials being servants and the people
New Orleans Picayune: Our people are
slowly learning that the road to the great
est riches is through manufacturing. But
progress in manufacturing is slow and our
producers of raw material are content with
the skim milk while foreign labor gets the
cream of our resources.
Mansfield Journal: 1t is not likely that
Judge Watkins will have opposition in his
candidacy for reelection. At least, we
have not noticed anything in the press to
the contrary. And if there is opposition
it will not be serious. Judge Watkins has
done his full duty in Congress and his peo-
pie will keep him there for some time yet.
Crowley Signal. The best way to elimi-
nate the school from politics is to take
away the appointive power of anybody
with ''political influence The school
has always been victim of politics in
Louisiana because it has furnished ''pat-
ronage" to the little bosses. The moment
this patronage is removed the politician
will lose interest.
MonroeStar: Compulsory education has
received its quietus at the hands of the
Legislature which, SO far as the country
districts are concerned, was right and
proper. However, if the educational au-
thorities really want to take long advance
step they should induce the lawmakers to
provide free text books and all supplies for
the public schools. The heavy expense of
text books and 'incidentals keep many
children Of the poor from the schools.
What would be the sense in forcing the
poor to send their children to school if
they could not supply them with the nee
essary books and other equipment?

fact that there appears small chance
Of revival Of the -four trade with the

lowering OF -four prices here in the
near iuutre. The market is firm and
the tendency 10 upward rather than
downward A local milling company
official said today
"prcsen, -four prices were made
when wheat was selling several cents
under the quotations that now rule,
and the trend oi the wheat market
is upward In the face Of these facts
there is little ground for the belief
that -four prices may shortly seek a
lower level.
1T IL true that present trade with
the Far East II thing oi small con.
