George Ely, the one-armed second
baseman of the Dyas-Cline baseball
nine. furnished the feature of the
Dyas- Cline game with the Grays yes
terday by clouting the horsehide for
two bases in the tenth inning, when
the game was being prolonged by a
four-all score. His lucky hit gave the
game to the sporting goods boys and
put the Los Angeles Grays on the short
end of a to A score. Another feature
of the game was a home run drive over
the fence by Banks, shortstop of the
defeated team. Both teams played
snappy ball throughout and kept the
good-sized crowd interested until the
end. Lyman and Fryer proved an ef-
fective battery for Aliens aggregation,
while Mooney pitched a fair game for

not only been rendered undignifed but has
been converted into tyranny and held in
fear for loss of the filthy ucre, because
political ambitions are uppermost in his

An irresponsible School System.
Morgan City Outlook

Morgan City Outlook]
The electorate of the State in the recent
election authorized the school boards of the
parishes to demand three mills of the taxes
levied by the police juries. The Outlook
opposed this amendment to our constitu-
ton. The effect of its adoption will be to
make the school system more independent
of the general system of government.
Doubtless many an elector believes this
will keep politics out of the schools; but it
will accomplish the reverse. Given the
incentives, it is just as easy for a politician
tomake his waytoward the highest positions
of authority through the school system as
through the general machinery of govern
ment. The school system itself will have
rigid organization and liberal supply of
funds; hence the politicians will develop
within it, and endeavor to govern the State
from this new vantage ground. 1t will be
worse for education than if they were kept
on the outside, and the battle waged against
them from within. To Offset the evil pos
sibilities Of the recently adopted amend
ment therefore, it is more than ever nec-
essary to modify certain laws that enable
the man at the head of the school machine
to work his will in the interest of his per-
sonal ambitions. 1t makes US faint at heart
to forecast the eventual outcome of present
tendencies in school legislation unless cor
rective measures are adopted.

Our Worst Citizens.
New Orleans Picayune.J

New Orleans Picayune
The Picayune has repeatedly remarked
on the growing Indifference of the American
people to their public political duties, and
even to their unwillingness to perform
them.
It was long held in the ages when the
people of the various countries were gov
erned by dsspotisms that the greatest
blessing that could be conferred upon them
was to give them the right to elect their
rulers, and many bloody revolutions have
been fought to gain that privilege, but
none to maintain and preserve it.
Ourown forefathers fought evenyears'
war for independence and the right Of
suffrage. When they had attained those
grand objects suffrage was limited to land
owners, who exercised their right with ex-
treme diligence and activity. The land
owners always voted, and they always put
their best men in important public offices.
Those were the times when able men were
found in all executive positions and in the
public councils, and the statesmen and
patriots Of that period rank high in history.
But about 1850 there grew up general
demand for what was called manhood
suffrage" That demand was so wide
spread and SO urgent that it soon carried
in the various States of the Union, the
right to vote being conferred on every free
male citizen who had attained the age of
twenty -one years.
For a time every new-fledged citizen
hurried to the polls and cast his ballot
every time there was public election, but
finally, discovering that there was no per-
sonal or individual benefit in active politics
for them, the suffragans began to ignore
their political duties and leave the voting
to those who had personal and private in
terests to advance or to maintain.
This is seen in the refusal of citizens to
register as voters and to pay their poll tax
as requirements for participation in elec-
tons. From time to time, when the
fragrant neglect of citizens of their political
duties comes to public attention, there is an
outcry that registration and poll tax are
distractions to the free exercise of citizen
ship, and ought to be removed.
But moments consideration will show
that a man who thinks so little of his public
duties to refuse to go to the registration
office would also fail to vote if no previous
requirement were made Of him. The regis
tration certificate and the poll tax receipt
are necessary precautions to protect the
elections from fraudulent votes, and they
are only obstacles to those who would stuff
the ballot boxes, and to no others.
The worst citizens in our country are
those who refuse to perform their public
political duties. They are responsible for
bad or incompetent men in office and for
all the political corruption in public affairs.
That is all of it.
The Bossier banner., 1910-12-29

and fresh and new and full of promise,
bringing joys and hopes and high purposes.
He passed on through the seasons in his
allotted course, and now he is at the end
of it. Poor Old Year! he led us by the
door of the afflicted, the hungry and naked,
vet we clothed and fed them not; the
broken hearted, but we comforted them
not; the erring, yet we guided them not
homeward. He brought US sage counsels
from his fathers and pointed US to bright
examples of steadfast virtue and earnest
purpose, too often in vain.
The Old Year is nearly gone, the hours
and moments assume an individuality and
Importance as they pass. Crowded into
each are the ghosts of things past-shad-
ows which appear for the last time-the
long train floats by to the quick measure
of the fast swinging pendulum, and in vain
the soul cries 'stay." The hands on the
dial are near together. How short the time
for regrets and penitence and resolution!
With the death of the Old Year which is
now about closing, what flood of memo
ries, what tide of thought rushes over US
like leaves following leaves in a storm, or
clouds chasing clouds driven by the wind
swept heavens.
We have sailed during the twelve months
gone by on rough waters, and often under
fair skies-along the sunny side of the
stream where the wild flowers grow and
the soft winds rustic midst the bushes and
the reeds. We have met griefs and their
twin, but unlike, companion pleasures. We
have seen sadness and sorrow and bruised
spirits and detection and imperiled or lost
lives, and have known gayety and frivolty
and mirth, and the gladness and beauty of
love and the delights of realized ambitions.
Sorrow has not walked alone, and neither
has joy.
What bitter regrets, stranded hopes,
blighted ambitions, wasted talents lie
buried with the Old Year. How in the
solemn hush of the moment come the men,
cries of the past. How sadly eloquent they
tell US of the shattered vase-the empty
chair-how tenderly they lead US to the
grass covered mound in the village grave
yard. With what pathetic sympathy they
will take US by the hand, and with muffled
tread lead us to the old hearthstone in the
old family homestead where we may listen
in the night for voices that will never again
be heard.
So, here upon the threshold of the New
Year, long ago dedicated to the old-young
Janus, we can wish for our readers no
better gift at the hands of the incoming
year than that it may bring to each one a
larger measure of the two-fold quality OF
the ancient deity, maturity and youth.
May it bring such richness of experience
that at its close each one may be able to
look upon its days as an inexhaustible
source of strength. May it bring such
deepening and quickening of the springs
of life that when its knell is sounded he
may feel that he has bathed in the fountain
the waters whereof give to the bather
ageless youth.

Oliver M. Noble Then Took His Own
Life; Ill and Discouraged.
Eron, Thurcdav,c natfv


Duluth Herald: Oliver NJ. Noble,
one of the Noble brothers, well known
in Duluth, who shot himself on Il
claim at Little Marais last Friday,
had staked out the plot of ground
in which he wished to be buried.
In each corner and along the sides
he had put down neat stakes. He
lett a letter stating that ne wished
to be laid away in that spot among
the pines and near the cabin where
he had spent the last years of his
life
In his last note he explained the
reasons for takin. his life deliberately.
He had been i'll with tuberculosis
for years and didn't care to suffer
longer. Becoming respondent and
lonesome, he decided after much
thought, that the best way out of his
difficulty was to take mis- own life.
In accordance with his request he
was buried in the place he had so
carefully designated. The services
were under the direction of Under
talcr c. j. Stewart, who accompanied
the brothers to the scene on the tug
Mayflower, which is owned by Colonel
c. Noble of East Third street.
