GETTING CONCERTED AC-
TON.

Camp Beauregard, U. c. V. of
New Orleans in a meeting re-
Gently held discussed the offense
to Southern sentiment and to the
truth of history of which many
text books are guilty. Specifi-
cally the reference was to the
proposed Brumbaugh readers,
which contains so much that OBJ
jectionable. Higher ground how
ever was taken, and the SuggeS-
ton made was by the commander
of the camp, DR.. Geo. H. TiChe.
nor, that the matter be pushed
and made national in scope; that
the President himself be appeal
ed to in behalf of non-sectional
and bipartisan textbooks for
both Northern and Southern
children.
1t is Obvious that as long as
Northern children are taught to
characterize the conflict between
the states as "the war of the re.
belliOn," so long will it take North
and South to get together and
become really united. 1t is not
advisable that different sorts of
textbooks be used by the two
sections, and so doing but pro,
longs division in sentiment. The
South does not ask vindicatiOn
or excuse to be taught in her
schools or printed in her text.
books. She asks only justice,
and justice would eliminate the
Objectionable phrases which
Northern writer's and publishers
foist upon careless Southern
State Boards.
Dr.. Tichenor's suggestion if
carried out would reach the
heart of the matter, but is only
practicable through concerted
action in putting the matter be.

THE ETERNAL FEMININE.

The woman editor of this paper
has just enjoyed delightful Va
cation. During the first half Of
last week a domestic eXigency
required that she give her entire
attention to the sewing-room,
And how she did enjoy it! Not
as on previous occasions Of a sew
ing rush dividing attention be-
tween Butterick patterns, nee
dies, thread and laces on the one
hand, and politics, pen, blue pen
Gil and shears on the other; but
the whole, blessed time to the
former! The outside pages Of
last issue went to press without
her even seeing them. 1t was a
real vacation, and with a mind as
refreshed as by a draught from
some fountain of youth the edi-
tOrial part Of her returns to it's
duties.
The incident Is mentioned not
because it is regarded as import
ant or Of any special interest to
the reading public, but because
it so well illustrates the eternal
feminine. Those, who affect to
believe that work outside of the
home, renders a woman indiffer-
ent to the duties and avOCatiOns
of the home, may be told of this
incident, and those who sincerely
consider that the woman worker
derangeS the system of econom.
les may feel assured that women
will not prove any serious i'm
pediment, to any plan that the
wisdom of man can eyer provide
for her return to the confines of
home.

FLAW IN CRIMINAL SYSTEM

Referring to the grand jury
episode in Baton Rouge, the
State Times concludes with the
following just observations.
"The glaring flaw in the Louisiana
criminal system is the tendency of
grand JurieS to uSurp to themselves
the functions of petit jurieS and to try
cases in the secrecy of the privileged
inquiSition.
Sometimes this is done through a
false sense of economy, to save the
State trials that may prove costly
fOrgettul of the fact that immunity
from trial is the most expensive gift
the State can make to persons charged
with crime.
Usually it is done through posi-
tive sense of moral fear, which causes
the jurors TO shrink from assuming
that responsibility which would be in
CURED in hauling a suspect into open
court.
" Immunity baths are too easily
obtained, not so much from the petit
juries in Louisiana as from the grand
juries-and the reason is to be found.
not so much in any fault of the law
which governs the system, as in the
spirit with which it is carried out"

NOTHING roo GOOD FOR
THEM.

The idea of teaching every girl to
thump the piano, and every boy to be
a bOOkkeeper, will make potatoes
worth So a barrel in twenty years.
Teach some of them how to grow pc,
tatOes. Pollock News.
We have no quarrel with The
Pollock News, or any one else,
least of all State Superintendent
Harris, any one, who wants the
farmer boy to learn how, that is
intelligentIy and economically, to
grow potatoes. Nothing will
raise farming to its true dignity
as profession more than to teach
agriculture in the schools.
But there is an idea conveyed,
a subtle suggestion as it were, in
the above quotation, which i'm
plies that pianO-playing and book,
keeping are not for farmer boys
and girls, and that knowledge Of
these branches units them for
farm life and work. The idea is
all too prevalent and is one that
is keenly resented by the young
er generation on the farms and
plantations. The feeling of being
cutoff from the advantages and
pleasures of the town and city is
what drives many a boy and girl
from the narrow country home
to the precarious occupations of
the crowded city.
Rather, let a different idea OBJ,
tain that nothing is too good for
the boy and girl on the farm.
Let her learn to thump the piano
as well as the churn, let him ac-
quire the art of adding up a col
umn of figures as expertIy as
tOherd a lot of cattle. Give both
the impression that the churn
and the cattle are no less impor-
tant and interesting in the broad
issues of life, and carry as much |
prestige in the world, and emf
grafton from country to city is
checked.
Indeed the time will surely
come when every college will
teach agriculture; every farm
home will have it's piano, tele-
phone, and auto; and farm life
will return to those first ideals
when man saw that only business
necessity made the city, that God
intended man for the open places,
the blue heavens above and the
green earth below.

CAPTURING CONVENTIONS.

1t is a poor sort Of business OF
trade or organization of any kinG
that does not have it's genera.
convention of like business
trades and so on. Such cOnven,
tons are more or less confined
in their subjects for discussion
and debate to those germane to
the particular business under
consideration. This is eminently
proper. Such conventions are
intended for the reunion of per-
sons engaged in similar pursuits,
confronted with the same prob
lens and imbued with the same
ambitions. Their meetings are
for consultation and counsel.
But how often is this entirely
legitimate and useful intent and
purpose rendered abOrtive by
outside interests! These latter
have some AK to grind, and by
gaining a hearing consume time
and literally capture the cOnven-
ton. 1t is true that most
branches of human endeavOr are
50 correlated that tits proper for
the teachers or preachers con-
ference to be instructed on stop
ping the propagation of tubercu-
fOSiS, or a convention of lawyers
to find that the tariff on hides is
a vital subject as it pertains to
the proper building of their law
books, and similarly a cOncOurse
of physicians or druggists might
tremble before the threats of a
glass bottle trust. But when a
dozen such interests swOOp down
upon one little convention. the
result is disaster to the specific
objects of the gathering.
At the convention of the Louis.
lana press, last year, the editors
were addressed on waterways,
child labor, anything but how to
make the country newspaper
pay or the city one have moral
courage. The prospects are not
good for the convention of 1908.
No doubt all sorts of alien sub.
iects and people will be brought
in and the editors will go home
no wiser in their particular line
If business than when they went
% CovingtOn.

LESSONS OF THE BOUFY
TRIAL.

For once we differ with Father
HOltgreve, the brave editor of the

not publish more details about

PlaQuemine says that he will not

The details of that lamentable
affair are saddening while they
are revolving, and of course sug-
gestive, but we do not believe
that any one of mature age how.
ever young and pure, could be
hurt by the reading. 1t is a sad
page in human life thus revealed,
a story told, like Thackeray's
Vanity Fair" without hero or
heroine; but we believe one full
of warming.
The majority of people, good
Father, are unimaginative and
cannot see thing unless held up
before them in print, writ large,
or big in human action. Such as
these will learn by the records
of this trial how cruel a thing is
