SCIENCE NOTES.

In the discovery of radium and the
recent Investigations along new lines or
thodox scientists are being driven to-
ward the real truths of the universe
Recent evidences tend to prove that ul-
timate1y there is but one kind of matter,
no force outside of matter, no limit to
the divisions of matter, no limit to the
accunulations of matter into bodies
similar to our sun, no limit to space and
that matter and space are co-extensive
All bodies Of matter, from the cleo
tron, atom, mo1ecule, to the greatest Of
the central suns, are of the same organ
lied nature. Take our earth as a unit
1t is electrically organized, has an at
mosphere, an electrosphere, and a CEN
trail solid body. The very smallest ether
atom of outer and dark space is SINH
larly organized and was, from time with
out a beginning, so formed as to reach
out, embrace with magnetic tendrils and
draw to itself other similar ether atoms
and thus the motions, forces, building
of worlds, is in continuous progress,
ever has been and ever will be as we see
them today

Mrs. AFR. Wright was in the City

charges against her. She was convicted
but sentence was suspended until next
Tuesday, when She is ordered to leave
town. Mrs. Wright is now under a bond
of $500 to answer when called in the

Will Mrs. Wright leave town This
is doubtful.
If Mrs. Wright is sentenced next

This is complication, a paradox,

We note, first, the pledge of the city
members to vote for an election in seven
Of the eight wards upon a petition pre-
sented, or an ordinance offered. 1t
seems little extraordinary that public
officials in their official capacity should
propose to the people of the parish to
vote condition upon this parish that
would be so Objectionable to the people
i'll seven out of the eight wards of the
parish that these officials feel called
upon to promise them in advance an op-
portunity Of escape for the country
wards, leaving the burden upon the city
Is it fair or just to ask the people of the
country wards to vote whi5kcy upon the
people of the parish and then turn
around and relieve themselves of the
burden which they are asked to place
and leave upon Our shoulders? We of
the city have growing boys whom we
are trying to save, and wives and sis
ters and daughters. We ask, in all fair
ness, that the people of the country
wards shall not vote to impose upon us
what they are not willing to retain for
themselves.

In the second place, the Gay-Shattuck
law was devised by the friends of the
saloon and has been tried for two years
in the city of New Orleans with little or
no effect upon the Objectionable feat
ures Of the saloon business. Those who
were hopeful of beneficial results have
not had their hopes in any wise full
filled. 1t is regarded as practically
dead letter where whiskey is sold and
has no practical value except to the sa-
loon interests as an argument in prohi-
bition territory to bring back the sa-
loon under delusive promises of regula-
ton. But what assurance have we that
these regulations, such as they are, or
others which might be adopted by the
Police jury or the City Council, would
be respected any more than the ordi-
nances and laws that have been so per-
sistently and energetically opposed both
before and since prohibition went into
effect, and equally so the laws govern
ing the saloonsf running up moth costs
and fines to an unprecedented amount?
Has the leopard changed his spots, or
the Ethiopian his color?
In the third place, we note that the in
dividual or individuals who constitute
the Executive Committee of the Regu-
lated Saloon League have failed to dis
close their name or names and appar
emily prefer to remain unknown to the
people for reasons not disclosed 1t is
not a matter of mere curiosity, but de-
sire that is entirely reasonable that the
public should know the personnel of the
committee leading the anti-prohibition
campaign. When statements, promises,
assurances and pledges are made from
time to those those concerned in the is
sues involved have a right to know who
are making such promises and giving
such assurances and pledges. 1t is a
matter of the greatest cOncer1 to the in
telligent voter to know whether this
committee is composed of men who
have eNerted themselves to enforce the
laws and ordinances already on the stat
use books, or wehether it is composed
of men who have encouraged and sym
pathized with such violations of the law.
".
In the next place, we note that this
executive committee is as silent as the
grave as to the amount of license it will
ask the Police Jury and the City Coun-
Gil to impose, if it should be successful
in the coming election, and likewise
equally silent as to where the whiskey
district or districts will be located in
the city of Shreveport or whether they
will advocte its being districted at all.

EDUCATIONAL supERFlclALlTY.

The old question-what are nigh
schools for--to fit boys and girls
for college or for life?-ought to be
finally determined soon; since. The
professional judgment upon this mat
ter is that they do neither, says the
Ohio State Journal.
In the Carnegie foundati report
1t is said, "that the same criticism
is made of the high school graduate
by business men that is made by
the colleges, namely, want of tho
roughness, lack of that mental dis
cipline which comes from mastery
of one or a few things
1t is said the fault is superficiality
caused by taking too many studies
doing too much supplemental read
ing, or rather letting on to do 1t
too much outside fascination-influ
ences that need to be candidly con
sidered by educational officials.
II our educational process is not
doing the best work, let it be given
change. The teachers are not to
blame, but their work is misapplied
If this accusation is true, concludes
the Journal.
In plain words, the system is top
heavy with studies that do the pu
pills no individual good now or in the
future.
It Is true the foundations for learn
ing should be laid broad and deep
but II the instruction is good and the
pupil Is fairly bright that foundation
ihonld be completed at the tenth
grade anyway. After that should
come specialization.
A real high school, such as the Wax
Iowa County high, should start the
pupils on their real life work. If
7 boy is going to follow farming,
fruit raising or stock raising he
shoald get the first elements of the
science In our high school. Manual
training, domestic science and normal
courses are practical subjects now be
Ing added to high school curicula,
They could be added here and
those pupils who have no idea of tax
Ing college literary courses could do
with less Latin. Greek and kindred
studies.
Make the school of the greatest prac
tical value to the greatest number.

IN UNION THERE'S STRENGTH.

There is undesirable publicity for
communities as well as the right
kind. Anything savoring of the fake
IS in the long run injurious to the
advertiser, be he an individual, a
own or county. The truth about Wal.
Iowa county, its climate, resources
and opportunities, is strong enough
and if made known by proper meth
DDS would bring hundreds of invest
ors and settlers here.
On the other hand, no matter how
much the truth proclaimed would help
levelop this big county; suppress
sed it helps not at all.
If we had five local development
clubs, four in the valley towns and
,Ie in the North End, to which ev-
,ryone belonged and helped TO support
hat should do so, and those five
elubs would federate for united eff.
iort on right publicity lines, the cost
would hardly be felt, while the result
mt good would be immense. Let us

In the old economic system that has
prevailed since the time when Marius
and Sulla alternately robbed the
people OF Rome.
It is not alone In medium sized
towns OF the middle west that Social
lists are winning. A number OF large
New England factory cities have
been electing Socialists to their civ
ic boards. Two OF the most rapidly
growing cities OF the last five years,
Berkeley, Cal. and Flint, Mich. elect
ed Socialist mayors. In Chicago,
Tuesday. the Socialist vote reached
nearly $4,000. almost double that of
the last municipal election. As is
we'll known. the big city of Milwau-
kee is wholly under Socialist con
troll. and that party has 1S members

November the first Socialist cong

voalcd Weaknesses in our election laws.
Tho recent election has left the mat
ter Of the regulation of the liquor traffic

possible
AN analysis of the vote shows an
overwhelming majority against pro-
hihition in the cities and a large but
greatly reduced majority for prohibi-
tion in tho towns There Is no uues-

no question about the desire of the
