The Improved Order of Redmen
held its convention at Alexandra
Monday and Tuesday of this week.
Delegates from almost every tribe
in the state were present. The
growth of the order since the last
state convention has been some
thing phenomenal. In the parish
of Lafourche at the time OF the last
convention there was not one tribe,
since there, has been six organized
and instituted, all six of which
were granted their charters at this
convention, having since organiza,
ton been existing under dispensa-
ton. Lafourche had delegates
from all of it's tribes and a good
showing was made. This parish is
the banner parish of the state,
there are more tribes and larger
membership than any III the reser

City q.

Like wine it seems as if our local
team improves with age for on its
third appearance an awful wallop-
ing was given to Morgan city to the
tune of Is to 2. To be fair with
the visitors, it was their first game,
but with a year of practice they
couldn't have touched our invlnci-
BILE Sidney Knobloch for sufficient
number of hits to fatten the batting
average of any one of their number.
The visitors would perhaps have
given a better account ofthemselves
had they had a pitcher strong
enough to keep our batting bunch
from landing on the horse-hide.
Gele was taken out of the box to-
wards the end of the game, and
Roland Vitter who succeeded him
was pounded to all corners of the
lot, Jimmy Cusach and big Tom

bat, Achee on first A. Boudreaux

The School Board Association in
session at Baton Rouge last Friday
placed itself on record regarding
several matters. Among others
the question of allowing parish
school boards to levy taxes fol
school purposes was taken up. II
was unanimously carried that a law
should be passed giving the differ
ent parish schools the authority to
levy special school taxes. instead
of having the matter placed before
the people by the police iuries OF
the different parishes. The Legis'
lature was also memorialized to set
aside the sum of one hundred thou
sand dollars to be prorated among
the different state high schools,
this would not apply to schools
not recognized as high schoolsby the
state. The third question was for
some reason or another defeated,
it seeming to be the better plan to
them to remain appointive by the
Governor as is the case to-day.
The three questions however are
interesting ones and will call for
comment by the press of the state
at large. The preparatory schools
must be better provided for, all
can not be given the recognized
high schools; if this were the case
this parish for instance would not
get one cent of the amount set
aside. The question of allowing
school boards to levy special tax,
we fear will be met with opposition.
AS to the state board being elective,
this is a political question and as
the school system of the state is
the dominant, party's strongest as
sest, it will require more than re-
solutions to bring about any change
thatwillbe suggestive of an election
by the people instead Of appoint
ment by the Governor.

Tennessee was given a touch
of high handed politics last week
when the Cooper case was

firming tie decision Of the lower
court in the matter, was compile.
ted. The court was much split in
rendering it's decision, but man
aged to get three out of five to
affirm the conviction of Col. Coo
per, who had been sentenced to
twenty years in the penitentiary
for the murder of Ex Senator
Carmack. The opinions were also
divided in so far, as his son Rob.
in Cooper was concerned and his
case was, ny the opinion of the
three justices concurring, sent
back to the lower court for a
new trial. The justice reading
the decision had not finished
reading the judgment and OPT
nion of the court before Cover.
nor Patterson had issued his pro.
clamation pardoning the old gen.

This will in all probability end
one of the most sensational cases
in that state. It worked the peo
pie up to a high state of excite
ment and showed how far poll

land, the Governor of that state

citizens of the state, the murder

follower of his, while the man

nent. The Governor was anti-pro-

was for prohibition. What result
this will have on the future Of the
Democratic party of that state
can only be conjectured, but it
would not be surprising after
such actions to see the Repub bli-

Gratis who believe in law and

for the laws and courts of the
state, as well as the supreme

President Taft in welcoming the
women suffrage convention to
Washington on Thursday of last
week, press reports say, was openly
rebuked by being hissed by large
majority of the delegates whom he
was welcoming. He had expressed
himself as not being entirely in ac-
cord with their views and at this hon
est confession he was given the hiss
by the women in attendance. The Of
fcers of the association did not ap-
prove the hissing.' but,itwas as a
rebuke for frank admission. He
is reported as having said that one
of the dangers in granting suffrage
to women was that women as a
whole were not interested in it, and
that the power of the ballot as far
as women were concerned would be
controlled by the less desirable
class" 1t was at these words that
the kissing started.
The President however made
the best of it and then smiling
as he spoke, responded to the
uncom plimentary greeting in
this wise: Now my dear ladies',
you must show yourselves cap
able of suffrage by exercising that
degree of restraint which is nee
essary in the conduct of govern
ment affairs by not kissing" This
seems to have been too m uch for
the delegates and he was allow
ed TO continue without being fur
ther interrupted from the same
quarters. ~
Itis gratifying to see that the
head of this republic had suf-
ficient courage to defy the suf
fragetes. Most public men seem
a bit baciwards about express
ing themselves either one way
or the other on this question of
women voting. We trust that the
stand the President has taken be
ing the stand of most men Of in
telligence will encouageothers to
condemn female voting and will
force the lady campaigners to
better efforts in other directions
towards the home-over which
they should WELD their utmost
efforts to uphold its sanctity and
make it more and more attractive
to all Adams.

A Few Dog Race
 Suggestions

In the communication printed below suggestions gre made in regard to the New Year dog race. In answer to the ideas offered it may be stated that the judges of the race wish to make loop of the course if possible, in order to prevent the conflict Of passing when teams are going in opposite directions.
 It is understood that the Boulder creek trail is little travelled at present and subject to bad drifting in Case of storm. Therefore the judges withhold the privilege of announcing the course until later, at the same time declaring that the rac9 will be run in loop if possible.
 In regard to the number of dogs, the rule of three was put in more as a matter of form, because it was not thought there would be any teams less than three. If anyone wishes to race two dogs, the judges will probably not object,
 The communication is as follows:  Editor, Iditarod Pioneer,
 Dear Sir,-Being subscribers to your valuable paper we thought it well to make few suggt stions in regard to the coming dog race, which is sched- uled to take place on Jan nuary l, 1911. The suggestions which we offer are as follows:
 First: In order to make the best pos sible time the teams should be run over the Flat City route, to and from the starting point, thus giving the teams the benefit of the down grade, instead of running them over the div ide from the Summit road house.
 Second: The above mentioned route is a double trail and gen erally broken, unlike the Boulder route.
 Third: When on this trail and one team Overtakes another it will not be necessary for the rear team to lose a foot of ground, as the driver can gee or haw his team at d seconds notice, thereby making the best possible time, which means the life of the game.
 Fourth: That if a man should desire to enter the race with one or more dogs that he is entitled to the privilege, as there are men in this country who have couple of good dogs and would like & chance in order to make the game good. But under your circum- stances if a man had two dogs thal could deliver the goods, he is shut out, although he may be the best dog on the trail himself. Respectfully yours THE MUSHERS. Mushersville, Dec. 23, 1910.

From that point the road builders will head as straight as possible fol Farewell mountain going up Dal, zell creek to Rainey Pass.
