THE GOOD GOVERNMENT
LEAGUE.

REPRESENTATIVE Of the Cool Gov
ernment League hl ing orSan'Za-
tions in the State are exp" IL: %
convene in New Orleans Jun" p.
The programme IF action a. l.
iireG briefly in newspapers Is III
definite. but whatever ii Iu4% be
the Caucasian would advise against
tic selection or the endorsements o.
any candidate for governor or State
officials.
Instead of nominating Ot OF eE-
Gorsing any candidate for " state
Office, the league, Keeping III Inln
the purpose for which it has been
organized, should formulate a pIan
of campaign and ..an appeal that
would rally to its standard the pd-
triotic citizens of Louisiall who
stand for good govern ment honestly
administered.
The league should also steer clear
of any complication with the United
States senatorial issue. Indeed, the
league should, refrain from every
ENHANCEMENT which may promote
discord, contention and strife, buI
from the beginning to the end of its
session. it should be animated by the
highest impulse of patriotic en-
deaVor
Should the league at its conven-
ton on June 81 nominate or endorse
any candidate for governor and 9TH
er state officials, it will be charged
that such nomination was by q
packed convention of a few, as an-
tagonistic to the spirit of the Dri-
mary law.
It may be conceded that such can
didates, nominated or endorsed by
the league, would be presented as
the league choice at the Democrats;
primary when held, but such en-
dorsement or nomination may be
operative towards the alienation Of
a great number of people now fay-
orably inclined to give their hearty
support to the league but who
would object to what will be made
to appear as a ticket dictated by a
few men.
1t is the deliberate opinion Of the
Caucasian that the nomination or
the endorsement of any candidate
by the league at its June meeting is
inopportune, and the better policy is
suggested in the more efficient and
most thorough organization of the
league in every parish of the State,
even to the remotest section Of
Louisiana.
When the league is better organ
lied, that is, when it shall have de-
monstrated that its aims AMI IT'S
purposes are to redeem the State
from the clutches Of the profess
ional place holders, the political
barnacles and the long and untiring
feeders at the public crib, it will
command that confidence and be as
sufed Of that triumph from the peo-
pie who have grown weary Of the
comparatively few men who have
dominated the political affairs Of
the State to their selfish aggrandize-
ment.

Put ing Away Furs.

All possible care should be eXer-
cised in packing away furs. A cedar
chest with a perfectly fitting lid is
probably the best receptacle for these
garments during the summer months,
and although for some reason or
other the large chest is not in favor
at present, small ones in all manner
of shapes are steadily gaining in
popularity. Sprinkle turpentine or
camphor balls in the box or chest and
also saturate the paper in which the
fur is to be wrapped with one Of
these preventives against moths.
To prevent the camphOr from in
juring the skin allow the first wrap
per to be of tissue paper. Remember
however that neither chinchilla nor
sable may be packed away in cam
phor, as it will turn both furs hide
Gus yellow. All white furs, such as
ermine, fox or lynx, should be wrapp-
ed in blue tissue paper never white
or yellow, for the camphor will cause
these furs to take on yellowish
tinge.-BaltimOre Sun

WHO SHOULD ASSIST IN THE
STUDIES?

When l read Mr. Watson's opinion
that the teacher should be present
during study hour to assist the pupil
with his or her lesson, I mentally
added very emphatic 'Amen!"
AS it now is, however, children are
sent home with the admonition to
have perfect lessons next morning.
AS one can hardly be expected to
know beforehand what one has never
learned, it naturally follows that
there must be some assistance in the
requirement of further knowledge;
at least until the child is sufficiently
advanced to pursue study with some
degree Of intelligence.
No other help being available at
home, father or mother are pressed
into service as assistant pedagogue.
Tired to exhaustion from the days
toll to keep children in school, prop
erly clothed and fed, also to pay
teachers salary, they must at night
rub their wrinkles and scratch their
grey heads, in puzzlement over the
text books, new and strange.
| do not assert that it is all-per-
vasive as yet, but it does seem to me
that the fact of having been discov-
cred that they were a much abused
class, teachers as we'll as preachers,
show tendency to develop into
rather exacting individuals.

Dyeing Secrets.

A visit to a dyeing establishment
and talk with an expert dyer will
teach many woman who has tried
to do her own dyeing why she gen
orally failed to get the results she
hoped for.
One of the rules which every woman
should know is that it is futile to try
to cover grease spots with dye. The
grease must be taken out first with
gasoline.
Next, the question of color must be
settled, intelligently Fabrics which
are white, very light cream, blue and
green can be changed to almost any
color, but if the shades are dark then
the question of color becomes i'm
portant. Red can be made into a
darker red, purple or brown. Brown
may be made darker or turned into
cataWba. Light green can be con-
verified into crimson or garnet by the
use of cardinal, while darker green
may be. made still darker or turned
into black
Fabrics having colored patterns and
stripes are best handled by giving
them a darker shade of the predom-
mating color, but if the pattern is in
the weave it will have no effect on
the dyeing. Wash silks are easy to
dye, but the heavier silks must be
thoroughly stirred in the dye to be
sure that they are fully penetrated.
Wooden goods, the fine cotton goods
and linen are easy to dye, and even
feathers may be handled at home if
care is taken, but the chief trouble
with home dyeing is the failure Of
housewives to understand that the
same dye will not do for wooden, silk,
cotton and linen.
Wooden and silk are animal pro-
ducts, while cotton and linen come
from plants The two kinds require
different chemical treatment.
Where the goods are mixed they
are usually composed Of a large per-
centage Of cotton and dyes made for
cotton are the best to use. Where
women use standard dyes and choose
those appropriate to the color and
fabric they often get results which
are comparable with the profess
siOnaI s.-BaltimO Sun.

FROM A FRIEND OF THE WO-
MANS PAGE.

Dear jeff Readers: [ was the first
woman that ever wrote to the Wom-
ans Page in The Jeffersonian (Mr.
Watson, said so). I have returned to
say | agree with Mr. Watson on all
topics. He did a true friends part
by Glover. He never deserts a poor
working man for a rich one. He is
right on Foreign Missions. l think it
very wrong for women to collect
money for a college telephone in
China, when there are poor mothers
here who have to give their children
away because they can't feed them.
Don't mention Foreign Missions to
me as long as Mr.. Watson's paper is
so full Of pleadings from the poor and
suffering. Did Jesus teach, Leave
your door full of starvation and mis-
cry and go to China and build tele-
phones or colleges?" Where do you
get such religion? Ask yourself, isn't
Mr.. Watson right? I think Mr. Wat
son does more real good with The
jeff than half the Foreign Mission
aries we have. I'll take Home Mis-
sion first. 1t is noble of Mr.. Watson
to defend the old soldiers. Friends,
are you going to allow such a man
as HOke Smith to go in office? Where
is the country Cor mem who were
taught to fight for the honor of their
country, etc? Hoke pleaded for your
vote; we gave it, not knowing much
about him. Now, you plead for his
reply to Watson's charges; he only
treats you with silent contempt Is
that the kind of a boss you want?
Mr.. Watson, what do our lawmakers
call their laWs?" White men pay
taxes on dogs (have toy; negro neigh
bOrs have a drove Of worthless dogs
which go around killing chickens and
eating eggs and the negro pays no
tax on them. Our country is full of
mad dogs; if they stayed around our
lawmakers, it would be o. K. think
muzzles for dogs the only safe plan.
Oh, how We need pure men with some
watson will in them to make laws.
7 was sorry to see Mr.. Roddenberry'
name in the wrong list of voters.
Mr.. Watsons talks to Young Men"
are good.
Readers, [ was not raised to know
much about Mr.. Watson, but now
when I read his good ideas and as he
tries to help us all, I just decided he
is grander than the best president we
ever had. Can you deny it? He
seems so noble to his wife and loves
her so. A mean man would not do
that. I have always heard Mr.. Wat
son was good to one and all of his
hands on his place. If welcome, will
return ONLY A GEORGIA ROSE.

G Street Closely Watched.
The recent activity in all parts of G
street between the Union Station and the
Treasury Department has given rise to
no slight interest among brokers. The
rapid rise of G street in the past few
years has been closely watched and nu-
merous reasons therefor advanced.
. J. Louis Willige, the local real, estate
broker. has watched the recent activity
with more than usual interest, and in an
interview yesterday gave an interesting
analysis Of the real estate situation as
far as 1t affects G street.
Ever since the metamorphosis Of F
street from a purely residential thor
oughfare into the Wall street of WASH
ington, I haye been interested in the
effect of this evolution collaterally on
G street." said Mr.. Willige. In the early
period of the change Of street into
business thoroughfare, G street expert
enced the expected result Of assuming
the ignominy of back street.
TT is true Of nearly all large munich
palities that a conspicuous business
street is paralleled by a neighboring
street of lesser commercial activity.
Anomalous as 1t may seem, G street ex-
perienced a subordination to F street
for only a comparatively limited period
Of time, due perhaps. somewhat, to the
fact that it represented a direct con-
nection between important department
buildings, and, perchance, also to the
fact that F street has lately suffered

One Day Following
Transactions in Con-

Although the local real estate market

has been marked by three of the largest
and most important sales this summer.
And whether the fact may be taken as
significant or not, all three Of the prop

Only in the first deal was the consid-

617 Thirteenth streets, between F and 6
Streets, sold for S109, COO This places
price of about s25 a foot on the ground,
which comprises 1889 square feet. The
property stood in the name Of Charles
G. Thorne, and was transferred by his
widow, as trustee, to George B. Hunt
ing, through the medium of Miss Edna

Two Corners Sold.
The property at the northwest corner
of Thirteenth and G streets and that
directly opposite-the southeast corner
were involved in a real estate transac-
tion that drew in twelve houses in the
northeast and three lots in Mount Pleas
ant, representing about 100000 in all.
Both the corners were sold through the
F. II. Smith Company. The first is i'm

structure, built by Eldridge E. Jordan
The southeast corner contains an older
business structure.
The northwest corner was transferred
by Mrs Henrietta NJ. Halliday through
Mr.. Jordan to Albert Garry, the local
brewer. In order to make the purchase
Mr.. Carry sold ten houses and two cor
ner stores fronting on Massachusetts,
