block was the sufferer OF four
good suits Of clothes. The en-
tr1ncie was effected by the thief
forcing out the large pane Of glass
in the front door which allowed
him TO step in and make his Sc
lection unobserved, thu eanally
sleeping in the second floor Of
the building hearing nothing Of
the movement Of the culprit while
in the building. Blood marks
were left on the wood work Of
the door where the party's hand
received u slight cut from the
glass. The next morning a pair
Of pantaloons and vest were
found on the railroad track just
below town and returned to Mr.
We'll, but otherwise no further
clue to the thief could be obtained
These night robbcries are getting
very frequent in New Iberia con

they make n record and catch

and bring them TO justice, other

A BURGLAR AT ORANGE
GROVE.

About ! o'clock Friday morn
ing, a supposed hungry hobo at
tempted to rob the Orange Grove
boarding house at Olivier. While
in the kitchen he made some noise
with the cooking utensils which
attracted the attention Of some of
the boys just coming off Of
watch. They Immediately secur-
ed guns and opened fire ON him.
Four shots were fred and he was
heard TO groan az he ran from tho
scene. It Is supposed that he
was slightly wounded an blood
was found on the back gallery.
The landlady greatly appreciated
the heroic efforts to capture the
burglar as she has suffered before
from the hands of thieves. This
ought to prove lesson and in the
future no doubt the hoboes will
give Orange Grove a wide berth.

The theme is one never before

is the power Of money IN Amer

( lous hands.

son of John Burkett Ryder, the
very man who has ruined her

in turn in love with Shirley Ross

home and asks for her hand IN
marriage. When Shirley is in
formed of the new conditions that
exist she refuses, then, BUSINESSES
him and declares her intention 10
fight his father. Jefferson, how
ever, is also shocked Mt the means
his father takes to dishonor the
name of Rossmore AMI in his sym
pathy for Shirley besides to help
her although he knows it means
the defeat Of his fathers plans.
The second act shows the inner
pr vate library of the Ryder man
sion on Fifth Avenue with fawn-
ing senator's, chairman Of nation
al political committees and judges
kick ing their heels in the outer
corridors as u suggestion OF the
atmosphere of money power
Miss Green, who OF course, Is
Shirley Rossmcre, enters and
there follows remarkably slim
ulat ng encounter between her
and Ryder. Delighted with her
frankness and cleverness he asks
her to write his biography ana
puts her in possession of secret
documents from which to get the
data. After being one of the
members Of his huoschold for a
considerable length of time, the

clutches Of the daughter Of the
hated Rossmores. Her keen sense
Of womanhood and her love for
Jefferson will not allaw her to
further deceive those who have
shown her personal kindness and
thereupon she admits her identi-

fondest hopes Ryder in a fit Of
evaporation, orders her from his
house. whereupan the son JEFF

his determination to leave with
her and become her husband.
This scene has been unanimous.
by conceded by all critics to be
one Of the very best introduced
in drama Of recent years. Even
the success of the play of when
everyone is familiar is reason snf-
ficient that all classes Of theatre
goers should not fail to see it.

and of course Internationally, exager
ates. 1t is not at all likely that any
" here near one-half OF the seats in
the senate were purchased but if even
one seat WIS purchased the disclosure
of that fact should be sufficient to
arouse the American people TO deter
mine action.
The situation will not be met by
the mere punishment OF the men who
gave the men who accepted the brite.
1t would be well if every guilty man
could be brought TO account, but
something must be done to protect
the senate for the future and to
make practically impossible the p,m-
chase of another senatorial seat.
This may be accomplished through a
cor stitutional amendment providing
for the election Of senators by popu-
lar vote. In the meantime those
who believe in that reform may put
if into practical operation by the
nomination OF senatorial candidates.

Need of Agricultural, high Schools.

Bulletin, jackson.
The necessity OF an agricultural ed
ucation is being emphaczed IN Mis-
sissippi as never before. The masses
of the peopl are awakening to the
fact that a farmer TO be successful
must have the fortification Of prepar-
alton as much as the lawyer, doctor,
preacher or member of any other pro-
fession. This was not appreciate d
in the past, and it is to be regretted
The future farmer will be a man well
prepared to tight the battles Of life
and to hold his own with any and all
competitors. n
Mississippi is putting into use the
most effective syetem Of agricultural
edu cation to be found in the Union.
a larger percentage OF our people are
engaged in agricultural pursuits than
y other state, and the impor, ance
of the matter deserves just such rec
ognition. The elements of agrlcul-
ture is taught in all public schools,
children in the sixth grade devoting
one term TO it. This will tend to
give to the young mind an insight in
to the subject That will likely develop
an interest OF increasing moment as
it grows older.

Campaign Sheets Disgrace to Newspaper
Profession.
Meridian Dispatch.


One OF the most rcprehensible
forms Or gr-ft tA~t%ls 'practicea,, is
the establishment OF newspapers for
campaign purposes only. Several
such papers have already been start
ed in Mississippi and they are a dis
grace to the profession and are NOS to
be classed as legitimate journals.
They are started to secure announce
ments and to bleed candidates who
will come across for everything in
sight. The average number OF an
nouncements in county will prob
ably reach one hundred and ten dol
lars, for each announcement means
one thousand, besides the lagniappe
that the INSCRIPTIONS publisher can
secure. Such newspaper ventures
should not be encouraged.
The graft that is being WORKED on
candidates should cease. Sometimes
the cause may be worthy, but con-
sidcration should be shown candi-
dates and they should not be asked
to help ia everything that comes
along.
