New Orleans Times Democrat: OF all
the text book changes none was less justi-
fled than that of the spelling books. Every
one can understand why it may be neces-
sary from time to change text books on
history. geography, chemistry, etc., in
order to keep up with the progress of the
world, but spelling continues the same from
year to year. There was nothing new in
Prof. Aswell's little speller from the old
blue back speller of our grandparents. He
had made no discovery, had patented no
new invention in spelling-it was simply an
honorarium to the recently retired Super
intendent; and the school children of
Louisiana are compelled to pay financial
tribute to him and to his little book
whether because of his diacritical and or
thagraphic excellence, or because of his
political and educational "pull," the voters
will decide in January next.

Issues of the Campaign.
Monroe independently

Monroe independent b
The issues of the campaign now attract
ing the attention of the people and evil
dencing their unrest and discomfort are the
machine, boss rule and their attendant evils
of dishonest elections that thwart the will
of the people, profligate extravaganza in
handling the peoples money, the creation
of new and unnecessary offices, boards and
commissions, dual office holding, the cor
rupt lobby at Baton Rouge with its pernic-
ious and evil influence on legislation, the
independence of the legislative from the
executive department, the reform of the
registration and primary election laws, the
enforcement of the schools from politics
and the repeal of the Marks Bill which
takes the schools out of the control of the
people and places them in the hands of an
oligarchy at Baton Rouge-in word the
issue is Democratic governments gov
eminent of, by and for the people.
If the people think this issue is more
i'm portant than the issue between Judge
Hall and Henry Bernstein, if they think
clean, honest Democratic government is
worth striving for, if they think the ma
chine and boss rule should be overthrow
and destroyed, that false registration and
ballot box stuffiing should be stopped, they
will steadfastly adhere to the standard of
Judge Luther E. Hall, clean, able, honest
man that he is, and the only man in the
gubernatorial race that stands for the re-
forms demanded and can give them to the
people if elected.

General Orders No. is.
New ORLEANS, La, June 6, 1G

New ORLEANS, La, June 6, 1911.
The General Commanding directs par
ticular attention to the following resolu
ton which was adopted by the Conven-
ton held in Little Rock, Ark, May 16, II,
and Is, 1911:-
whereas, the attention of this Con-
vention has, by the noble women compos-
ing the chapters of the Daughters of the
Confederacy, as we'll as by some of our
camps of Confederate Veterans, been
drawn to the fact that certain histories
have been adopted for use in some of our
Southern schools and colleges, containing
false and malicious ISLANDERS of the south
ern people: therefore be it
=" Resolved, that we cannot too eanestlv
press upon the attention of those in charge
of our educational interests the supreme
Importance of excluding from our schools
and, colleges all histories that do not in
their reports of the great struggle for con-
stitutional liberty made by the Southern
States from 1861 to 1866, state facts: and
of using only such histories as recognize
the justice of the cause, in support OF
which so many of our brave comrades shed
their blood and lost their lives. We feel
that we cannot too heartily commend the
splendid services Of our noble women in
preserving unsullied the memory of all that
is most precious in our Confederate his
tory
The General Commanding shares the
feeling conveyed in this action of the Con-
vention. Impressions made on the minds
OF the young in their formative stage are
the most lasting and the most difficult to
alter or. to eradicate. Too much care.
then, cannot be taken to teach the truth !:
and he hopes that teachers in all sections
OF our country and of every grade will
most carefully select the proper books for
the use in the schools and colleges,

Don't hold back because your medium
for the transmission of good or happiness
seems to be small or inconsequential.
Don't lag by the wayside because you can't
talk quite as we'll as some one else or be-
cause you fear your efforts will prove
fruitless, your strength being 80 far behind
your desire. Your strength is as your
enthusiasm. Heart power is the divine
standard of human ability. Whatever you
can do, do that with all your might. Do
it as if you were glad for the chance. Dc
it without doubt as to the need for it.
The world always needs enthusiastic work
ers. The cause of God needs them. We
are not qualified to say which work is most
important, because we do not know. But
one thing is Of vast Importance in every
work, great or small, and that is enthus

SHUTTING THE DOOR.

Very few people purposely refuse to seek
the best things of life and have the door to
all that is best and worthiest closed on
them. But Indifference and neglect may
become sin and close the door to life's
best blessings. There are lines of conduct
that we may. follow, and we never dream
that we are raising barriers between our
selves aud the best. There are certain
things that we may do until we will no
longer respond to the best thoughts and
feelings.
Darwin tells US that in early life he was
very fond of music, found great pleasure
in reading Shakespeare. But in after years
he so concentrated his mind and soul on
the investigation and study of nature that
he lost his taste for music, no longer cared
for Shakespeare. The great poet no longer
made an appeal, the faculty of music be-
came atrophied. He had no quarrel with
Shakespeare or music-they had not
changed. He still knew the one to be the
greatest poetical genius of the centuries,
the other one of Gods avenues of speak
ing to man some of his best emotions and
aspirations, and yet there was no longer
anything in the soul of Darwin that re-
sponded to their appeal. Unwittingly he
had closed the door on Shakespeare and
music.
1t may not be serious matter to close
the door for a time on music and poetry,
but there are things that we dare not shut
out of our lives even for day. Every
influence that makes for development, the
uplifting, the noble, the Christ-like, the
ideal, we must be careful that we do not
Intentionally or thoughtlessly shut out.
And every day as we 60 forth to meet life
we are consciously or unconsciously open
ing or shutting the door to life's best
things-in our thought, in our emotions, in
our acts, in our friends, in our amuse-
ments. in all our habits.
We may think lightly of these things
until some day when we have an important
choice to make, critical temptation to
face, an undertaking to carry through that
may affect our whole destiny. And if we
have not been living in the way that will
enable us to make the right choice, meet
the temptation or succeed in the UNDER
taking, we shall find the door shut.
Our whole life is concerned in every
choice we make, in every temptation we
master, in every undertaking we accom-
plish. Perhaps we never meant to shut
the door on purity and power, on charac-
ter and success, but somehow they have
escaped into the dim distance. We never
meant to grow Indifferent to the appeals
made upon the soul by higher things, nor
to grow hard toward our fellow, nor to let
LIES best opportunities slip, but suddenly
oureyes are open and we find that the door
is shut Thoughtiessly we have shut the
door on the Master.

in those two States were unable to turn the
trick there as he did here. They had no
Governor behind them. The hardship
which Aswell has needlessly put upon the
overburdened parents of the State lies not
in what HE received, but in what THEY,
lost. More than 100000 of them had to
trade away or throw away better spoilers
than his triple written masterpiece in or
der needlessly to buy it, and the cost of
the process was tax running far into the
thousands. The forcing began when
he and his ring had the General Assembly
OF 1908 pass that act giving preference to
Louisiana authors. The acceptance of this
act by man of the Doctors intelligence is
q confession of bad faith. Gilbreath
and Cook, of course, are under the same
stigma in this matter as Aswell. ANY man
may write book and sell it with propriety
and honor on the OPEN market, if he can.
but any man with strangle hold on the
schools of State who writes book and
sells it needlessly to that State when he
CANNOT sell it to any other is merely pro-
noting GRAFT. Rand, McNally & Com
pany, are forced to. confess that the book
has been pressed for adoption in other
States and not adopted. Even the lusty
Cook and Gilbreath were unable to lob
their people with it.

wife whom he had married nine years
ago. supposing z his first wife to be dead.
Anna Catherine says she has consulted
lawyers and that they told her as she
had never been divorced she was the
lawful wife Of Peter c. Sharp and could
enforce her claim any time she chose
to do 80.
"Of course | am not going to make
trouble right now. che said. Il am willing
that the other woman should stay so long
as she deports herself with becoming
respect for the head Of this household,
which is myself"
Peter Sharp said to a reporter That
woman hasn't the same disposition she
had when married her fifty years ago
She had a sweet disposition then; now
she is a crank. She is trying to boss
Louisa around as IL she was the only wife
BY gum. I've seen lawyer and he
tells me that first wife is not my wife
at all. When she disappeared forty years
ago and was gone for seven years without
me hearing a word from her she was the
. same az dead legally and lawfully dead
ia what the law says; tn att her standing.
Il want em to get along together be-
cause I've got enough for both and | d
like for EN- to both live under this roof
But il they cant agree I'll have to build
Anna Catherine a house and let her live
by herself. for I am not going 10 give
up Louisa. II Anna Catherine wont do
