Educators in Chicago.


Prof. j. N. Warner, superinten-
dent of public education for Grant
parish, left for Chicago on Feb.
Goth, to attend the great gathering
of educators held in that city. A
fine representative gathering was
present from all of the States III,
the Union, and splendid program
for the interchange and exchange
of ideas was carried out. ALI of
the intracrcies Of school work were
discussed, and much valuable In
formation was impaired by the
series of lectures. This will be
greatly enhanced by the proceed
ings, etc; being put in book form,
SO it can be studied at leisure aud
the ideas digested and put into
practical execution. In connection
with the other large amount OF In
portant measures discussed and
sought to be put on a practical
footing, was an organization for
the association and concerted act
ion of the authorities ill the de-
velopment of the country school
and country life. Those and kin
lred subjects to the. vitality and
effectiveness of thepublic schools
constituted the Chicago gathering
to be one of the most important
yet held, and great good is expect
ed to result therefrom.

Two Terms for Sanders.

1t is now extensively advertised
j the State papers that the friends
ol Governor Sanders" will seek to
Gauge the law prohibiting the
& vernon from holding office as his
oan successor. To do this will
L. quire all amendment TO the con-
s.. utiou In order TO annul the pro-
VISION adopted only a few years
ago. 1t is very doubtful if the
tn. people of Louisiana will view
with patience this gerrymanderlng
proposition to do away with a law
bc.ore it has been fairly tried. III
this was good law at the time
Gov. Blanchard had announced
thai he would not he candIdat.
Ia succeed himself, there certainly
is no reason for its repeal this time
The politicians proposing this
scheme make the specious claim
that there. is no longer any ne
c,'Ssity for this law. They should
tell the waiting public what par
ticular change there is in condi-
tions that makes the law uuneces-
sary. If it was a good law two
years ago, why not good law now
Why should the general assembly
go to the express pains next year
to pass joint resolution requiring
a two-tbirds vote to submit the
proposed amendment to the peo-
pie in November, 1910? If Gov.
Sanders favored this law for his
predecessor, why should his friends
now put him in the attitude of de-
string its repeal in his own inter-
est?
1t appears to be case OF the
Governor rather desiring to be
saved from his foolish friends. He
recognizes his position as one of
extreme delicacy, and says that the
matter must be left to the legisla-
ture and the people todecide. The
question becomes quite sensation
in view of the complications, and
we shall watch developments with
interest.

II do not believe in any form of
food advertised to nourish any par
ticular tissue. There is no such
thing as brain food, or nerve food,

is an omniverous animal, and that
his normal diet is composed of all

NAL. All vegetables fit to eat are
food for man, and all animals fit to
eat are food for man. For this
reason l think it is not wise ia

Many Thousand Mu,krats.

The scarcity of mink skins and
their high prices have lead the fur
dealers into efforts to supply the
demand for mink's furs with some
imitation fur costing less money.
This began some years ago when
muskrat skins were selling at five
cents each. The prices of the
muskrat skins have gradually in
creased, rising early this season to
fifteen cents, and having now reach
ed twenty cents each. Various
merchants aud dealers in Plaque
mines parish report their purchas-
es of muskrat skins way up in the
thousands, a number of them hav-
ing bought rs many as twenty
thousand of such skins. Apparent
ly it must lead to their practical
expiration as similar efforts have
already done with the alligator.
A few days ago We made an esti-
mate from the reports that come
in from the various parts of the
parish of the probable number Of
muskrat skins that Plaquemines
parish would sell this season before
the skins would begin to deterior-
ate. Judging by reports from
numerous merchants of their pur-
chases of twenty thousand or more
Of these skins, it seems fair esti-
mate to place the muskrat skins of
the parish of Plaquemines for this
season at FIVE hundred thousand,
and thus actually producing a rev.
enue of one hundred thousand dol
