FRACTIONAL NEWSPAPERS,

Our friend of the Country Review
knows quite well that neither his de-
1ectlons-nor ours-have anything to
DO with the matter of removing pol
ltics from the schools. We merely
commented on the fact that his STRIFE
lures were tardy, since his voice was
silent when much greater violence
was done the schools. He claims
that we are in error, that for twen-
ty-Six years he has never failed 10
protest against political interference
with the educational department of
the government. This may. be so. In
TACT We believe it is so, since he
says so, but is not easily estab-
llshed, as his identity was merg-
ed for so long in the editorial col
umns of the N. o. States-and to
keep record of its varying policies,
one would have to have a complete

POPULAR CONTRIBUTIONS.

The suggestion made by Woodrow
Wilson that every Democrat, so mind
ed, give a dollar or two to the max
ing up of the funds for the nation
al campaign has more than one good
point to recommend it. Of course,
the greatest one is that any fund
composed of contributions from a
large number Of people constitutes
an appeal to a cOrrespOndingly large
body, and produces that feeling of
unity Of purpose and interest, neceS-
sary to the success of national move
ments
Other reasons are equally good,
the fact that small contributions con-
tain no suggestion of COrrupting in
fluences, but are true and clear
expression Of popular feeling,
Every man, who feels able to
make a contribution, however small,
should do so for these reasons.

THE EDUCATIONAL QUALIFICA-
TON.

1t has been announced that the
educational qualification in the
State Constitution is not intended to
dIsfranchise white men. This is
true, but it should not be construed
that intelligence should be subordi-
mated to illiteracy. The grandfather
clause was designed for the purpose
OF investing the illiterate, under
certain conditions, to qualify as a
voter, but to Concede that an Hit
crate, not protected by the grand
father clause should be excepted or
exempted from the general require
ments Of the registration and the
election law because he is not a ne
gro is ridiculous.
For years there has been q striv-
ing to uphold and to promote the
rule of intelligence by the encou-
ragement Of the illiterate white to
improve, but this incentive will he
come useless and unnecessary if an
illiterate who can not comply with
the requirements of the law may
have a substitute to enable him to
fill out his blank for registration.
The illiterate, especially in large
owns andt cities, as for instance
New Orleans, are a menace to good
government, since, as a rule they
are or become pliable tools of the
venal politicians, The law as it now
stands hsould be either amended or
repealed.
Illiteracy should not be permitted
to subvert intelligence. The regis
tration and the election laws of
Louisiana are not sufficiently strict
to eliminate the illiterates.-Shreve-
port Caucasian.

PENNY WISDOM.

What about advertising your cat
tie brands? 1t costs little and should
save you many a head of cattle
Don't be penny wise in this respect,
but listen to a true story. A man
residing in this parish was asked
many years ago to subscribe for the
True Democrat. What, pay $3.50 for
that little. sheet'?' he exclaimed
mot much" And within a month af-
ter, some one took up several head
of his cattle, estrayed them before
a magistrate, and by the time he
found out about them, (Which he
would have learned Immediately had
he read The True Democrat regular
ly) he had to pay out enough in le-
gal charges to cover the True Dem
ocrat's subscription price for ten
years.

file of that journal by one at all
times.
Perhaps it is because he recalls
his experiences on that paper-its
changes being all unlike his natural
steadfastness-that his dislike of a
fractional newspaper is so keen, but
since his own best reputation S
founded on the success of his little
fractional newspaper of anti-lottery
days, the Rayne Ranger, as spirit I'd
a partisan fighter as ever discharged
pen-and-ink shotgun, it does not be.
come him to disparage that sort os
newspaper.
For our part, we have no use for
a newspaper that says: "My faction
right or wrong" but one that be-
lieVes his faction right and then
fights, in that spirit and purpose, de-
serves admiration.

The idea that the government Of
this country has not been directed
by the people in their own interest
was expressed in the remarks
which Governor Wilson made to the
farmers Of New Jersey and Pennsyl
vania, "AlI that l am modestly sug-
costing" he said, lis that you break
into your own house and live there.
And | want you to examine very crit
ically the character of the tenants
who have been occupying it. 1t is
a very big house, and very few peo-
pie have been living in it, and the
rest has been demanding Of you,
and not of them. You have paid the
money which enabled them to live
in your own house and dominate
your own premises

EplsoN,s USE EoR MONEY.

Thomas A. Edison has denied with
some spirit the report that he had
given large sum of money to the
endowment fund of technical school.
He seemed astonished that any one
would think such a thing of him. As
he expressed it: Let the multi
millionaires, who have nothing else
to do with their money, give to col
leges if they want to; I have bet
ter use for mine"
This is strictly true. No man has
added more to the wealth of the
world, or created more avenues for
vast investment, than Edison; yet
his personal return has been COM
paratively small. There are today
hundreds of immensely wealthy men
in all lands who have acquired their
fortunes from industries which the
genius of Thomas A. Edison brought
into being or developed. Had he
been a man of different type, had he
possessed the money instinct, no one
can calculate what his wealth might
have been. But if he had been hat
sort of a man, would he have been
the most wonderful inventor of This
or any age? Would he have been
Edison? Charles Goodyear, whose
discovery of inflammation made pos
sible the rubber industry, lived and
died poor. Genius for original thought
and business thrift rarely go hand
in hand.
Money can bring Thomas A. Edison
no JOY except as an aid to greater
achievement. He has better use for
it than endowing schools. Large sums
have come to him in the years since
his brain first began to create wealth,
and they have Immediately and free
ly been put back into the business"
the business of invention and devel-
opment. 1t is said that he spent more
than million dollars perfecting his
storage battery. His final graphic
phone, his moving picture devices, or
any of the five hundred or more n
Ventions he has patented in the last
decade, represent the large sums in
laboratory and experimental work.
Edison is an inventor by trade. He
does not lie upon his back and wait
for great ideas to flash before him;
he works, works all the time, spend |
ing brain and time and money. Had
he idled in enjoyment of early uc-
cess until inspiration called, the
world would have been the poorer
by many hundreds of useful and
withdrawing discoveries. Many a |
convenience and comfort would have
been, if not lost, at least delayed in
It's arrival.
Any Wall Street accident can be.
stow library or school, but will |
ali the schools in the country pro
duce another such genius in centu-
ries? Would it be too much to say |
that If a 1.-THE Of the sums philan-
thropists have poured into the treas
nries Of educational institutions had
been used to endow Edison, the pub.
lie would have been the richer?--

G. L.: The hot sun and wind will not

cate, II you apply spurmax lotion each
day This lotion is made by adding 2
teaspodnfuls glyoeriue to IL pint witch
hazel (or hot water,) then ounces spur
max Powder and rouge are unnecessary
when the spurmax lotion is used and if you
apply the lotion every day you will find that
1t banishes tan and freckes and dspels the
oily shiny, blotchy condition. The spur
max lotion is invisible when on and is not
affected by wind or perspiration.
Myra Each night apply pyroxin to lash
roots with thumb and forefinger and they
will come in long and silky. Your eyebrows
will grow thick and heavy by rubbing on
pyroxin with finger tip. Be careful and
don't get any where hair is not wanted
Dorothy D.: No harm results when della.

make paste with sone delatone and water
spread over hairs and in or 3 minutes

hair or fuzz has vaoished Barely is 1t nee.
essary to use more than one application Of
delatOne.
b. A.: OF course you cannot make your
hair look bright and pretty because soap
was never intended for shampooing as II
causes the hair TO grow streaky and brittle.
Dissolve a teaspoonful canthrox in a cup hot
water and you will have enough mixture for
delightfully."- soothing and invgonating
shampoo. The lather created by canthrox
allays scalp irritation and dissolves dand
ruff and excess oil, and after rinsing well,
the hair and scalp are clean and sweet,
while the hair dries quickly, with an even
rich color and beautiful gloss. Nothing
compares with canthrox for keeping the hair
silky, brilliant and fluffy in hot weather
Mrs J. r.: Boils indicate a poison laden
blood, and you can hope for little relief
until the poisons are eliminated from the
system. In 1.2 pint alcohol pour 1 ounce

hot water 10 make a quart Take a table
spoonful before each meal and you will soon
be rid of your boils, This tonic will clear
up the skin aud give you health and energy.
