D. r. READ, EDITOR.

Mr.. Will Diener, one Of the pros
Derous planters of the Roanoke
peighborhOOd, in recent interview,
relative to parish division, said;
"They say we are having to support
a bunch of raScals in the court house
ring. That may or may not be true,
but would rather help support one
bunch of raScals than to have to help
support four, and that is virtually
what parish division would mean. "
He said further: 81 have lived and
paid taxes in number of states in
this Union, but : caa truthful1y say
that | am paying the least taxes on
the actual value OF property involved,
here, of any place ever lived in. y
In conclusion he said There are four
DienerS here, not all of them voters
yet, but YOU can depend upon the
Diener brothers to vote against par
ish division" This statement is from
a man who is recognized bard think
ing, level headed farmer, who knows
a good thing when he sees it. 1t also
comes from the heart of jeff Davis
parish, where they are supposed to be
pining for division, with huge pines

THE MESSAGE FROM KANSAS.
1t Means Hostility to Any "ISm' That
Would Foster Special Privileges.

From the Philadelphia North Amer
lean (Ind.)
When Kansas speaks the nation
listens. Kansas has always stood
for the rights Of man whenever these
were opposed to the rights of property
1t is in the Kansas blood.
1t was Kansas that first checked the
extension of the slave power. Ia
Kansas were lighted the fires OF lib
erty, which swept the nation and
burned out the last vistage of slavery
At that time it was bleeding Kansas.
Now it is blooming Kansas. Its pro-
duct is something more than walls OF
corn. 1t bears more valuable fruit
han grain or cattle. 1t is the mother
of men, real men, men who have at
tanned their Intellectual stature as
well as their physical growth.
These men think and read. The re-
suit is that Kansas has the best news
papers in the country.
Not only are the barns of Kansas
full. but her banks are full. When
Wall Street was stranded in its own
panic, it appealed to Kansas for help.
The appeal was not in vain, for Kan
sas had enough and to spare.
Kansas believes in property. 1t be-
]ieyes SO much in it that it PROB
ably has more property, man for man.
than any other state in the Union.
But it believes that property is for the
use of man, not man for property.
1t is peculiarly fitting that Kansas
slould have been the ground for the
frs. p.,turd battle in the new war-a
war of baljOts-for human rights. 1t
was recognized by the leaders on both
sides, that the engagement was crucial.
The predatory interests felt that II .ln-
surgency was stamped out in Kansas,
the effect would be decisive on the
fight in the nation,
Kansas knew what she wanted. She
knew that the eyes of the nation were
upon her; that her action would have
a determining influence on the result
of the battle to decide whether nation
q, legislation should be for the peo
Wle Or for the privileged rich.
And Kansas answer was recorded
in the verdict of its republican elect
crate, which, in six of the eight dis
tricts of the state, nominated men wht
stand for the people and against Can
nonism and Ballingerism and thu
whole list of ''isms," which all meal
special privilege for the few 10 pre-.
upon the many.

Nicholas Bauer, assistant Principal
of the New Orleans public schools,
has been appointed as a member, and
will probably be elected chairman of
the State Text Book commission,
which will, in the future, have charge
of the matter of changing the text
books of the state. 81 believe the es-
Establishment of the commission is a
step in the right direction," said MIR.
Bauer, Thursday. cit will be my
purpose to cooperate with the people
OF New Orleans, and in my work,

wish of the "people of New Orleans "

Consolidation of Schools Will Increase
Welsh Enrolment by Nearly
Fifty Pupils.

School director, W. B. Gabbert,
states that arrangements have been
completed for the consolidation of the
Malleste school district, = southeast of
town and tho Fontenot district, south
west OF town, with the Welsh school.
Two .@agonettes will be operated, con-
veying the pupils from these districts,
to and from school This arrange
mentwill add from forty to fifty pu-
! pills to the present enrolment, and
will give one additional member to
the faculty. This gives Welsh a fac
ulty of nine teachers and utilizes all
the rooms of the building.
Through the efficient work that has
been done in the Welsh schools dur
ing the past few years, they are COM
ing to be recognized as being among
the best city schools of the state, and
are factor that is being considered
by parents when arranging to place
their children in schools other than
their own district affords.
Welsh now has thoroughly
equipped and recognized high school
every teacher of which, as we'll as all
the grades, are first grade teachers,
who have had special training for the
particular work they are handling.
Welsh and the surrounding com.
munity may well feel proud of the
Welsh schools. whose doors age al
ways open for the accomodation,of all
who may wish to enter,

POETRY AND SUICIDE.

A very considerable percentage of people who kill themselves wilfully are found to have had poems with them when the last step was taken. Occa- sionally it is a book of poems; more often it is a clipping or number of clippings of verses reprinted in the newspapers. Occasionally it is ori- ginal verse-and instances have been known where this original verse was far from bad.
 What, then, is the connection be- tween song and suicide? Is there any?
 There are poets whose work has in duced d pensive and melancholy joy. A few have sung in a key of such minor rare qualities that their singing brought despondency. one may admire the magic of Omar's book, finding in II almost a literal perfume, us of rich tapestries and flowers kept in their vase too long But no one ever arose from a perusal of the "Rubaiyat' with the new determination to fight the bat tie of life with cheerfulness.
 The young Harvard student whose death by. his own hand has just been reported, was found with a copy of Byron beside him. Lest we bring the Byronites upon us in an army We hesi- tate to say that the Byronic influence was depressing. But the youth who establishes his ideals of life upon the Don Juan" type could scarcely cope with a work day world successfully.
 The majority of the major singers can scarcely be charged with super inducing a desire to die. One in love with his Shakespeare, his Milton, his Burns, his Wordsworth, would be sure to perceive new reasons for pEzing life.
 But there may be no significance at all in the fact that here and there a faltering soul has elected tS perish with a lovely song near him. The pres ence of these treasures may mean sim ply that they, cheapest and dearest of all things life can place in our hands, may be kept by the defeated and the broken, even after all else that was loved is gone.-St. Louis Times.

BRINGING TOGETHER
 FAIR ATTRACTIONS
The Show Feature Is to Be Largely
 Increased.

Charles J. Sanichas left last night for Los Angeles where he will be gone l for several days. His mission is to make final agreement with the Snow Amusement company to bring its en- tire long list of attractions to Phoenix during the fair week. Mir Sanichas was the successful bidder on the con sessions of the territorial fair which entitled him to the profit from the proceeds of shows and other forms of amusements. and the duty of securing the amusements devolves upon him.
 Through his special agent, w M. Me Daniel. the preliminary agreement with the Snow Amusement company was brought about in Los Angeles several days ago. While in that city Mr Sani- chas will cinch the contract with the Snow company and he will also look for other amusements.
 The Snow Amusement company pro bably offers the best and most com plete list of attractions of any carnival company in the west. The largest shows presented by the company are Maze. big snake, glass show, streets of Cairo, minstrel show, vaudeville show, animal show, man monkey. cleo tric show, merry-go round, etc.
 Sanichas has also signed up the girl show called the Mexico Girls, which is a high class musical comedy company C. B. Laure, the manager of the company, agrees to have the com pany here several days before the fair week which begins on November :.
 The "Hassayampa Midway which is a novel and highly attractive show, will also be here to please the people attending the fair. With such reputed shows in line for this fall. together with the other amusements that C. K. Pishon, superintendent of the amuse- ments of the fair, will book, the num- Der of visitors this year ought to sure pass all former years.

JEWELS TRIMMED THE
 SOUTH SIDE TEAM
Alvord's Pride Was Stimulated and
 He Was Very Chesty Last Night.

Yesterdays ball game was fulfill ment of all pledges. It was a good exhibition of ball, a hotly contested 1 duel, and pleasing and hard earned victory by Bill Alvords Jewels over
 the Southside aggregation. The lat ters defeat was entirely creditable for tic men were playing ball all the time The first five innings netted nothing but goose eggs and fouls for either side and the scorekeeper was about dis gusted at being drawn thus deeply into the poultry business when the Southsiders in the sixth chalked up run. The Jewels did nothing in the sixth either and the SOuthside half of the seventh was a blank. But in the Jewels half the face of nature was changed The players began to find Cuber and the inning brought them three runs. They made three more in the next inning while the Southside team never had another look-in.
 Alvord said last night that he wanted to compliment his whole team on it's excellent work yesterday. He hardly knew where to begin in specifying per sonally for all the players did so well. Dyer, he said, pitched a wonderful game and famed out ten men. Grijalva on first base was a surprise both in his base work and in his hitting. Parks was a swell shortstOp and Quiros did good work in the left field. Brisboise did all that his opportunities behind the hat allowed him and Rudolph made a spectacular catch of a long fly ball in the field. It was all good and there
 nd
 Almost as much might be said of the Southside team, continued Alvord, even if it did lose. Morris played his usual fine game behind the bat and Cuber prov ed the right man in the box. For q long time it looked a. though the SOuths:dcrs would give the home team no "la' ce at ar :or a1 opening, hut it finally come and the rome team made all tEerc was in it
 President Poshen of the Jewels was the chief notable who witnessed the game, outside Of those who paid for the privilege and who formed a goodly crowd. Though president it was the first time he had seen the team in ac- ton and he was delighted with its work Also MT. PishOn sold tickets at the gate and in the final accounting it was shown that he had beaten himself out of S130 so after all it may be said that he paid his way.
 The next engagement of the Jewels will be next Saturday and Sunday when they are to meet Tucson on the Phoenix grounds for two games. There will be some lively practicing this week and if the Jewels do not make showing next Saturday Alvord will de mand to know the reason why. He says his men have no trouble in win ming Sunday games and that when ever they have been skinned it was us- .ually on Saturday. He has given in struetions that next Saturday the re- suit must be different.
