CAN WE OFFER INDUCE
MENTS TO FACTORIES?

lars worth of wood pulp was i'm
ported into this country in 1901
for the manufacture of paper
Spruce has been in highest de
mand for this purpose. New
York alone consumes over a mil
lion and a quarter cords of wooC
yearly for this purpose. A
spruce is becoming more anc
more scarce, other material will
have to be found to take its
place.
We have in Louisiana i'm.
mense sWampss in which there
are large amounts of bay wooc
which would no doubt make
good paper. Poplar and hem.
lock are also extensively used ir
SITS manufacture. Of all the
various woods to be found in
Louisiana it seems probable
that some of them could be
profitably used for this pur.
pose. AS pulp is the main cost
IN it's manufacture, and as
the industry is valuable and
remunerative, with an unlimit-
ed demand for it's products, it
seems to us that the matter is
well worth investigating. If it
can be proven that we have
sufficient material that can be
obtained for making pulp, any
amount of capital could be OBJ
tanned for entering into the
business, for there is a general
complaint throughout the United
States of the high cost Of paper,
and material for making pulp is
getting scarcer each succeeding
year.
A furniture factory also
might be a paying venture. We
understand that wood for this
purpose is obtainable here.
For both these enterprises we
have cheap transportation to
New Orleans by water.
Factories of all kinds are NOV
ing from the large cities on &C
count of taxes and general
expense of maintenance. If
inducements were offered, it
might be possible to establish
some of them here. But we can
only get them by hustling for
them and offering inducements
and showing that we desire to
have them.
Another enterprise that would
probably prove profitable is
a canning factory, for putting
up fruits and vegetables, and
for canning our cane syrup,
which would find a ready sale
in any market in the country.
It seems to us that syrup can
ming alone would be a venture
that would realize good profits.
We make these suggestions in
view Of the fact that there will
soon be idle capital seeking in
investment. It depends entirely
on a community whether it be-
comes prosperous or not, when
it is so positioned by natural adj
vantages as to become a strong
competitor for commercial hon
ors. Just as an individual loses
chances by failing to take ad-
vantage Of opportunities, so will
a city or town. There are rare
instances where luck falls all
over a man and buries his inca
pacity out of sight; but instances
where cities have been boosted
out of mudholes to a command
ing prominence and commercial
Importance through the indie
fatigable energy of it's citizens
is much more alluring and not
so rare. The pleasure of ac-
complishment is itself a reward
we'll worth working for.
There are but two excuses for
failure in life-lack of ability
and i'll health.
And as we are constantly
blowing about our healthfulness,
then we will have but the one
excuse to offer.

QUALITY OF PAPER
Cause Of Some Dispute al Board
Meeting Last Night.

There came near being clash at the
meeting of the board Of education
last evening. The matter Of awarding
the bids for school supplies had been
determined by the board and A. III.
Tyrrell of the Waterbury Blank Book
Co, who was one of the bidders, rep
resenting his company, protested
against certain quality Of paper put
forward by rival corcern being ac-
cepted. The various samples OF the
goods, papers, pens, pencils and so on
had been already given their respec-
tive marks of merit or demerit by
superintendent Tinker and there was
one sample of paper, the corner OF
which was torn off. This was the
sample that was the cause of the
threatened clash. 1t had been accept
ed, and Mr. Tyrrell held that it was
so unworthy of notice that the super
intendent did not think it worth his
while to mark it for competition with
the other samples Mr. Tyrrells state
ment left the board nothing to do but
call upon Mr. Tinker. He was the
judge of the goods and so he was
called in. His answer caused aston
ishment He said his mark had been
torn off the sample Mr. Tyrrell said the
paper was too poor for anything 1t
cost 1898 for IL certain quantity while
Mr. Tyrrells for the same amount
would cost $40, but the differences in
price was so slight while the difference
in the quality of the paper was SO
much he said, the board was making
a big mistake in accepting the sample
with the corner torn off.
Mr. Tinker applied his test to the pa
per and said it was good and so it
was accepted.

SPECIAL TEACHERSPAY
Board Talked on Compensation
For Paying Car Fare.

The board of education last even
ing had quite discussion over a
proposition to establish new rule
which shall make the maximum sal
airy of special teachers 500 and to
give them increases rapid enough
that they shall reach the maximum
in few years. 1t seemed from the
course of the discussion that the
principal object of the proposed rule
was to compensate the music and
drawing teachers and supervisors
for their expense for car fare, for by
going from school to school the
teachers spend an average Of 20 or
80 cents a day, or about $3.50 a
week. In the course of year this
counts up some and as the teachers
underwent expense in securing their
education, the committee on rules
considered it but fair to compen-
safe them. The rule was also to
apply to teachers in the sixth, sew
enth, eighth and ninth grades. This
would affect about thirteen teachers,
but it would put the maximum for
music and drawing teachers at $3.50.
Mayor Thoms considered the idea
a just one. 1t was only fair, he said,
that those teachers whose duty takes
them from one school to another
should be compensated for expense
in travelling, moreover, because were
they engaged in any one school, or
inside work as it was called, they
would receive more salary in COM
parisOn to what they are now paid.
In order to bring the matter prop
erly before the board, Commissioner
Castle moved that the drawing anu
music teachers be paid a maximum
of $3.50.
Commissioner Gallond said he
thought it would be poor taste to
raise salaries at present, for rea-
sons that are most obvious. In the
discussion that followed it was said
that the local salary rate for teach
ers is about the same as that in New
Haven and somewhat better than in
Bridgeport.
This brought the discussion around
to another, proposed rule which
would entitle teachers to an in
crease of $40 after the first years
work, making the salary $420, and
in about six years she would reach
the maximum. Now she has to wait
six or seven or eight years to reach
that goal. The committees idea
was that this rule would affect new
teachers only, or those who were
engaged last September, while 9TH
ers of the board thought it would
reach those who have been two years
teaching.
Finally, the mayor thought it bet
ter to let the matter go until Sep
TENDER, when the new school year
opens, and the suggestion of appro-
priations begins to vibrate around
the atmosphere of the Crosby, for
no matter what way one would look
at the proposition, said the mayor, it
is practically a suggestion to raise
salaries at this season or the year,
when in fact the time to consider
work of that kind is when the mat
ter of appropriations jingles the
funny bone of the board. So on
motion the entire matter was laid
over.
Another proposed rule will make
a year substituting in the city
schools, or years work in the
suburban schools. the equivalent of
one years teaching in the city
school.

MAJESTIC NOT in IT
Managers Had NoihiDg 10 Do
With Closing Theaiers.
To the Editor of The Democrat:

To the Editor of The Democrat:
Dear Sir: The owners OF the Ma
jestic theater, 148 East Main street
desire to express their opinion re-
garding blue Sundays.
This company operates over fifteen
hundred motion picture theaters in
the United States and their policy is
to supply entertainment for the peo-
pie, not to deprive them of 1t.
If We wanted to advertise our bust
ness at the expense of Polls and
Eagles hall we would have spoken
to Mr. Parsons and Mr. Mcmahon and
no doubt they would contribute some
money for the purpose.
Mr. Freedman's advertising has
cost them about $1,000 and
has deprived about 5000 people OF
the only entertainment available to
them on Sundays.
We think that Mr. Freedman show
ed very poor judgment when he tried
to force the people to patronize the
five cent shows in order to see motion
pictures.
AS rule the people cannot be
forced into anything against their
will. The more you try to force them
the harder they resist.
If Mr. Freedman's efforts meet with
success, no doubt in the near future
some enterprising merchant will dis
up some old law and compel the peo-
pie to purchase only his brand of mer
chandise.
We would like to have it under
stood that we had no part in Mr.
Freedman's actions.
Very truly,
CONSOLIDATED FILM CO.,
Of New York.
John F. Southland, manager.
