FOOL PARENTS.

Bossier Banner The people-the
common peop1e-or, as some Of them
have been endearingly called officially
fool parents '-who are not competent
to manager their own schools, should
feel grateful for the inestimabie privi-
lege yet granted them to pay more
school taxes at the bidding of the Edu-
cationa1 Oligarchy Of Louisiana As
soon as the oligarchy is more securely
established on its throne by additional
drastic, easy-nark legislation, the said
oligarciy will be able to run things in
its own high-handed way, without con-
descending to consult insignificant tax
payers and fool parents. /"

A SQUARE MEAL AND A SQUARE


The Tabernacle Bulletin: Such is the
meaningful motto of our ladies who are
making extensive preparations to serve
meals both down town in the Slattery
building adjoining the postofice, and al
the Fair grounds What the people will
be looking for is a square meal and q
square deal, and they will be glad to pat
ronize those who give it to them 1t al
ways pays to deal fairly and generously
with the public, even from financial
standpoint, and certainly no church car
afford to engage in business and deal
otherwise. If the people are pleased with
honest and courteous treatment received
in small things they will think well OF
the church and desire to aid in its work
Nothing pays as well as good influence
and our ladies have the opportunity OF
making many friends for the Christian
Church during the State Fair by living
up to their motto: q Square Meal and
a Square Deal"

The railroad strike is off Now
seems but fitted to call the attention o
the public to this, that men swampet
j into preconcerted strikes often get TIL
worst of it as individuals.
! 1t would seem that strikes have served
their day of usefulness and have become
as tools used by labor in its contention
with capital
These two forces are SO managed thai
they do not contribute to the welfare Of
man. Capital and labor have assumed
the forms of yokes. on the necks OF
the people. As soon as the men back
ing capital and the men backing labor
equalize labor and capital, the greater
chance will there be for the continued
prosperity of the country.
Just at this time it is question if
prosperity will live or die, survive or
perish
In this United States there are three
dangers overhanging prosperity, to-wit :
Emigration, capital and labor. One, of
inaninate composition, capital; two of
animate composition, emigration and
labor All three are forms of construc-
ton which could be servants of the peo-
pie. Whether these servants are good
or bad depends upon the management.
A good servant should be kept, a bad
servant dismissed
While the supply of food does not
equal the demand, servant emigration
must be dismissed as it is eating us out
of house and home, and SO endangers
the prosperity of thee ountry Capital
and labor would be very good servants
if managed by equalization It is quite
strange fact, but it is SO, a good serv-
ant pretty generally manages the house
hold where there is no manager extant
Capital, as an aggregate has assumed
control of its makers, it users, its dis
pensers. 1t is as servant who will do
as it will under the dispensation which
man gave it since it was first made into
a gilded idol to be worshipped and a
creed laid down before it. All who wor-I
ship this idol can repeat the creed back
wards, but will not voluntarily break
one ritual Of the creed
Labor as an aggregate has assumed
power over its votaries, who are par
Elephants of its makeup, who give abject
worship to their iron idol
Men having made these idols, capital
and labor, is at the mercy if his delu-
sions. When there is panic capital
rolls over its keepers and brushes them
out of existence as capitalists, and then
the idol stands still until it gets new
keepers who will for a while assume
control and direct until capital is again
high and mighty then if will be wor-
shipped as an idol. When the iron idol,
labor, grinds down its votaries until
they renounce their idol then the work
of simple living goes on until some gets
possession of the idol and controls it
until it again becomes opulent, then
again the grind begins.
How many years has this contention
between capital and labor been going
on? Only equalization will assure the
continued prosperity of the country.

Of Interest
1888 BY m. b. ". .s*ASs

This busy hust1ing fair time when al
4 interest is conferred on the approaching
great autumn carnival, our State Fair
and thousands will claim the hospitality
of our city, we feel almost as important
as if we were racing for the Melbourne
/, Cup of which Mark Twain writes so de,
/ lightfully The 5th of November, Guy
Fonoke's day, is the Melbourne Cuf
day, with us it will be Drummers Day
and flower parade, when the grounds
will surge with people. Every man
woman and child from far and neal
who can afford it will put aside their
daily duties and come to the Fair. How
like things are all over the world Mel
bourne Cup day is the Australian ma
tional day Business is suspended over
stretch of land and sea as wide as
from New York to San Francisco. Peo-
pie swarm in by ship and rail fort
night before the day. They come hun
dred thousand strong as all the best au-
thorities say, and they pack the spacious
grounds and grand stands and make a
spectacle such as is never to be seen
elsewhere Following the Equator" we
read what seems very much like one of
our own great affairs, when the writer
says their clothes have been ordered
long ago at unlimited cost, and without
bounds as to beauty and magnihcence,
and have been kept in concea1ment I'M
til now, for unto this day one they con-
secrate, / am speaking of the ladies
clohthes, but one might know that.
And so the grand stands make a
brilliant and wonderful spectacle, de-
lirium of color, a vision of beauty
Champagne flows, everybody is viva
cious, excited, happy, everybody bets,
and gloves and fortunes change hands
right along, all the time Day after day
the races go on, and the fun and the
excitement are kept at white heat; and
when each day is done, the people dance
all night so as TO be fresh for the race
in the morning. And at the end of the
great week the swarms secure lodgings
and transportation for next year, then
flock away to their homes and count
their gains and losses, and order next
years cup clothes, and then lie down
and sleep two weeks, and get up sorry
to reflect that a whole year must be put
in somehow or other before they can
be wholly happy again.
Mark Twain says that in America we
have no annual supreme day, no day
whose approach makes the whole nation
glad We have Fourth of July and
Thanksgiving and Christmas, but they
bring harassment and dread to many
because of the burdens they impose
We viii, in time, have cup day. or
some day that will command widespread
and interest, whose approach
will fire the whole land with a confa-
grafton Of conversation and anticipation,
preparation and iubilation. At present
we are satisfied with Drunmers Day.

secure pupils work from the schools in
order TO inform the general public on

especially to emphasize the fact that
they are not asylums but schools where
the children are taught all the branches
of the common school as we'll as the
