Free Text Books Proposed.
An earnest debate, in which the
least side Indian Legislators took
prominent part, over the anti-profes-
sional guardian bill, prolonged the
house session Monday until after
dark, and then consideration of the
bill was not finished
The Williams free text book bill was
reported out favorab1y Monday. A
resolution to move the state library
down from Guthrie and to provide
quarters tor the high courts here was
introduced by Peters Of Usage. An
other rather spirited debate occurred
over the Swanson-Harmon-Jackson ju-
.Gicial district bill. A joint committee
of the house and Senate was appointed
~ ieiat aessinn " the
legislature, probably at the auditorium
Tuesday night, TO hear United States
Senator Robert Il. owen. A number
of new bills were introduced as usual.
The Williams (of Comanche) free
text book bill is a companion measure
to the uniform text book bill, passed
BY the 19O7-19O7 legislature. Represen-
tative Williams, a member Of the First
legislature Of that time, saw that he
could not get his entire program adj
opted, and was then content with the
uniform text book law. He proposes
now to furnish text books in common
schools free, the same to be furnished
by the district or city boards of educa-
tion. The teachers are made respon-
sible for the books, and any unac-
counted for losses or damages may be
deducted from the teachers last
months salary. The parents or guar
dians Of pupils likewise are made re-
sponsible, and on failure or refusal to
make good damaged or lost school
books, may be punished by fine Of

Debate on Bank Bill.
An extended debate on the Roddie
bill, proposing several important
amendments to the state banking law,
marked Mondays senate session. An
adjournment was taken with the bill
still pending, the only final action be-
ing the defeat of an amendment by
Senator Colyille providing for BIZ
partisan banking board.
The Roddie bill provides for bank
ing board of three members, to be COM
posed Of the governor and two other
members appointed by him, to replace
the preesnt board composed altogether
Of state officers; increases the salary
Of the bank commissioner from $2,50O
to $4,000, and provides that the as-
gessnients levied for the benefit Of the
guaranty fund shall remain in the
banks contributing them until needed
by the board Practically all OF the
debate was on the first provision, al
though the discussion ranged over al
most the entire banking law Of the
state.
The Colville amendment was the
first one proposed. 1t provided that
the two members OF the banking board
appointed by the governor should be
of opposite political faith. Roddie
Immediately offered strenuous objec-
tons asserting that Its adoption would
drag the board into politics instead OF
keeping it out and that if a republican
were to be appointed by the governor
he should be responsible to the Cover.

He declared that the objections adj
vanced to the preesnt board Of state
officers are not based on the fact that
they are all democrats, but on the
claim that they have used their posi-
tions to advance their own interests
or that of some one else in whom they
might be interested.
He made the further interesting
statement that Governor Cruce had
stricken out of his message, after it
was given to the press, the recommen.
dation for a non-partisan board, and
that that feature did not appear in
the message as submitted to the two
houses. On a vote the Colvlle amend
ment was decisively defeated.

"Protestant UIster."

The absurd claim of the Orange as
cendancy men in the House Of Lords
to speak for Ulster is refuted by the
facts on record, as thus briefly sum-
married. by John Redmond:
Give of the nine counties are over
whelming Catholic. In two of the four
counties where the Protestants are in
majority the Catholic minority is
over As per cent, and in the two others
the Catholic minority is over 81 per
cent in the one and over 20 per cent
in the other. Protestant Ulster is
practically circumscribed to the Coun-
ties of Down and Antrim and the city
Of Belfast"
What these facts mean has been
recognized even by the London Times
in an article in which it wrote:
"The truth is that Ulster is by no
means the homogeneous Orange and
Protestant community which it suits
the Orangemen to represent it. In
some counties the Catholics are in a
large majority, and it must be ac-
knowledged, we fear, that the Nation
alists have a much stronger hold on
many parts of Ulster than it is at all
satisfactory to contemplate"

IRELAND-NEW JERSEY
The Former shotsa t1sve Four Times
as Many People as Latter,

New JERSEYS area is 7,S15 square
miles, Ireland's is 1883, or more than
four times as great, says the Newarl,
On. J.) Evening News" In 1871 Ire
land had population of S,175,124 and
New Jersey had, in 1910, no more than
372,S59. In the past seventy years Ire
land has lost 3,7a3.l73 of her people
and now has, according to the last
census, population Of only 4,3s1,173,
which is considerably less than twice
the total number in our own state.
Thus, while New Jersey increased
about 700 per cent Ireland in the same
period decreased nearly so per cent.
Famine, bad government, landlord
ism. absenteeism and q long list of
other grievances have been the causes
of 1relands sad falling away in Dopu-
lation, in industry and in prosperity.
These have compelled immigration and
have sent Ireland's sons to all quar-
tiers of the civilized world. till there
arc FAR more of them abroad with
their families, than or their native soil.
GO where you WILL on land or sea, in
city or country. in war or in peace and
the lrishman is in evidence more
thrifty and successful anywhere else
than in his home island.
Few, If any, great areas of territory
or Islands within the boundaries of
civilization exhibit such sad effects of
bad government as Ireland. Accord
ing to area it should have four times
as many people as New Jersey, or
something like 1O,O0O,o00: but with the
advantage of over eight millions to
start with, seventy years ago, it's pop
ulation should now, under normal con-
ditions, be over 2O.oo0,0O0 and com
pared proportionatcly with that of
England. Yet Ireland seems at last
to be gaining ground, though its popu-
lation now is 76,824 less than it was
ten years ago, for this decrease is
small compared with those of previous
DECADES. Ireland lost $4,000 between
1891 and 1901: it lost 100000 the previ-
Gus ten years, 23S000 between 1861
and 1871, and it fell away 10000 be-
tween 1851 and 1861.
Local government, better land laws
less absentee landlordism. the cutting
up of great holdings into small farms
modern methods Of agriculture, mod
ern education modern influences, and
as consequence of all these. less
emigration, are combining to make
Ireland what nature intended it to be
the home of numerous, thrifty, pat.
riotic and successful people. The cen.
sus Of the next decade may show that
Ireland has actually gained in popula
ton, something it has not done fol

BOgue Falaya Park is IN the out

Tammany Parish Fairs are held, is
a tract Of fifty or more acres, beau
tiful with forest growth and undu-
lations. The people of the town and
parish are proud OF this possession
and have a park commission to plan
for its Improvement. Shreveport
has eighty acres purchased for a
city park 1t is accessible, being only
four blocks from paved streets. The
committee which recommended the
purchase of this ground searched
far and wide and finally decided in
favor of this woodland tract as the
most beautiful to be found near the
city. The park was purchased in
1907 during Mayor Bernstein's ad-
mlnistration. Nothing has been done
y improve it or open it to the pub
lie. On the contrary, $4,000 of the
$4,000 bond issue voted for parks
and Improvements was refunded. So

The Yickshurn Exhibit.

Filling large space in the edu-
cational department at the Fair was
the beautiful exhibit in drawing and
water colors sent from the Vicks-
burg public schools. The exhibit
embraced drawings from nature,
still life, copies of heads and de-
signing. The superintendent of the
Vicksburg schools believes in the
educational value of fairs, for in
sending an exhibit to the Louisiana
Fair the instructor stated that a
large exhibit had gone to the Mis-
sissippi Fair. Fairs will grow in in
terest and value by making them
educational in every line-putting
before the people the best for in
spection and instruction. A close ex-
animation of the charts Of excellent
work inspire and inform visiting
teachers, and So, the prime object
in placing the work of schools at
fairs is accomplished. When the
proposed building for art education
and women's work is erected, the
schools can make a more complete
exhibit.

Cuisine was dead. For more than a
year her failing health had been
noted with sadness by her friends
and the deepest solieitude of her de-
voted mother and brothers. About

was taken with the hope that the
change would revive her dropping
spirits and bring about beneficial
result. But the patient sufferer grew
worse so rapidly that the return
home was almost immediate, We'd

Sadie Cuisine was the eldest
daughter Of the late Samuel Cuisine

She was kind, gentle, refined and
the companion and comfort of her
widowed mother.
