A KANSAS DOLLAR

A farmer out in Kansas,
About five years ago,
Went into town n day to spend.
Some of his ~hard-earned dough"
And in merry jest" and just
To show his printing skill.
He printed his initials on
A brand new DOLLAR b-i-l-l.
He spent that dollar that same day
Down at the village store.
He thought twas gone forever then.
And he'd see it no more.
But long before that year rolled by
One day he went to fill
A neighbor's order. and received
That same n dollar bill. :
Once more he spent that dollar bill
In his own neiehborhood,
Where it would do himself and friends
The most amount of good.
Four times in two years it came back,
AS some bad pennies will,
And each time he'd 60 out and spend
This marked one do liar bSi-l-l.
Had he been wise that dollar might
Be in his town today,
But just about two years ago
He sent it far away.
The people who received it then
l know have got it still.
For twas to a mail order house
He sent his DOLLAR b-i-l-l.
No more will that marked dollar come
Into the the farmers hands,
And nevermore will it help pay.
The taxes on his lands.
He put it where it neve can
It's work in life fulfil.
He's brought about the living death
OF that one DOLLAR b-i-l-l.
Exchange.

From the cradle to the ploW: from
the plow to working his way through
school; from school back to the
farm, where he has been, and is to-
day, a successful farmer and a suc-
cessful business man.
f Served the people honorabIy III
many minor offices. Served them
with honor and adistinction in the
legislature for six years. Supported
every bill that helped the farmer
and working man; supported every
bill to reduce taxes, both in state
and parish.
Resigned the legislative office 10
accept the appointment of Commis-
sioner of Agriculture In office only
few months, he saved the tax pay
ers hundreds of dollars by abolish
ing some unnecessary offices and
placing the department, and the diff
ferent branches, on a business basis.
Being a farmer himself, his heart
and interest is with the farmer. Be
ing a successful and experienced
business man, he is eminently auali-
fled to fill the position he now holds.
He is a candidate to succeed him
self and solicits the support of every
man who has the interest of the
agricultural department at heart He
guarantees an honest and eeonomi-
cal administration SO long as he is
at the head Of the department.

President Boyd EmphaticaIIy Denies
that Attempt was Made to In
ject Partisanship Into Manage
ment Of State university-No Ef-
fort to Influence Cadets.

Friends of the Louisiana State
University everywhere will read with
pleasure the emphatic denial by
President Thos. D. Boyd of the re-
port that there had been an attempt
to inject politics and partisanship in
to the management of that splendid
institution. On the Both of December
Prof. Boyd gave out the following
statement over his signature:
1sI have, neither the time nor the
inclination to take part in the politi-
cal controversies now going on in our
state, but SO much prominence has
been given to charges implying Of
fensive partisanship on the part of
the university authorities with re-
gard to recent political meetings in
Baton Rouge, and SO insistent is the
call for an answer to these charges,
that some statement from me seems
to be proper if not unavoidable.
Tt is charged, as stated in a re-
cent editorial of the Daily States,
that the students of the university
were refused the privilege of being
present at the Hall meeting and
urged to attend the rally Of Mr.. Mi
chel. Neither of these statements is
correct.

The annual report of the Vermont

exception, ever known in single
year of Vermont banking. For the
past seven or eight years, by the way
Vermont has been a local option

or course the contemporary would
not have the reader gain the impress
sion that this increase in bank de-
posits was because Vermont was a
local option state, but rather that
the Increase was In spite OF IL.
When the change in the liquor law
was being advocated in 1902, one OF
the arguments earnestly advanced by
the opposition would result in great
losses of popular savings. The re.
suits have not borne out this gloomy
prophecy. To be sure. the state
banks are now operating under a law
exempting deposits from taxation TO
their owners so that large part OF
the increase is properly chargeable
TO money that has been drawn from
hiding by this liberal statute. But,
even at that all other indications
point to the usual. normally healthy
growth in savings bank deposits here

The point is, simply. that the ante

proved themselves since we have had
