WINS HERALD MEDAL
COLUMBIA INSTITUTE
Continued from First Page,

after many years Of struggle, that the
full rights of Roman citizenship were
conferred upon Plebians.
Today the word citizen does not
carry the dignity with it which it
formerly carried; for the rights of
citizenship are too easily obtained.
As soon as boy is twenty-one he
has the right to vote-the same right
as that Of his father who has proba-
bly, learned that good citizenships
consists in other things than simply
casting his vote. Thus, with no eff.
cert on his part, the boy Is put upon
equal political terms with men older
and wiser than himself. He, there
fore, cannot feel the dignity and re-
sponsibility Of his position as forci-
bly, as he would had he been made to
fit himself for the position.
Today, instead Of a patrician, ev-
cry person whether native born or
naturalized, who under the constitu.
LION and laws of this country, has
right to vote for representatives in
congress and other public Offices, and
who Is qualified to I'LL Offices in the
gift Of the people, is citizen. Citi-
zen Ia used almost as word opposed
to foreign. alien, slave. 1t has lost
some of its original strength by the
modern Interpretation of it.
The first great requisite for good
citizenship is loyalty to the state.
Each man should strive to serve his
country to the best of his ability,
whether in times of peace or in
times Of war. And man may serve
his country with as much bravery by
standing firmly for the highest and
best as by giving up his life upon
battlefield. By constantly resisting
each and every attempt of corrupt
political leaders and bosses" to de-
grade American government and in
stitutions, he can aid the true states
men in their fight for political moral
ity. In so doing he is worthy to be
known as the American citizen.
To live up to this name he must
ooey the laws. He must obey them
He must not hold one law
up as a shield while he fights others;
and he must be as willing to enforce
d law in his own case as in enforc-
ing 1t in that of his neighbor.
Then, a true citizen holds the good
of the state above his own pleasure
and convenience. He is willing to
cacrifce himself in order to secure
IN advantage for his country. From |
the very beginning of this govern |
ment the statesmen who were truly |
great, and to whom we point with q |
finger of pride as opponents Of Amer
lean citizenship, have sacrificed |
themselves in order that the country
and its inhabitants might thrive. |
George Washington, though much |
preferring quiet life at Mount YER
non, nevertheless gave it up to take |
in its place life at the White House |
and the presidency for two terms.
And had he felt that he was indis-
pesable to his country, he would have
continued to serve it by accepting a
third term. But he was sufficiently
modest and sufficiently wise to real
lie the falsity of such a supposition. |
Every citizen cannot have the presi-
iency offered to him for even one
term. but his chances for self-sacri-
dee are not lessened.
Good citizenship implies different |
positions fer different men. One

GOVERNMENT WILL HELP.
1ele Sans Demonstration Agents at
the Louisiana Fair.

tno Louisiana Fatrs
Louisiana owes as much. perhaps, to
ne cooperative farm demonstration
ork of the United States department
{ agriculture as to any other agency
modern times, and to give a fair
lthout some attention being shown
lis work would be to omit a very i'm
;rtant feature pertaining to the de-
iopment of the states resources. But
omit this feature is just exactly
nat the management of the fair is
It going to do. Instead, the farm
emonstration work Is going to come
4 for prominence at the fair, Oct. 80
Nov. 6.
In order to have the exhibits of this
apartment displayed to good advan-
ge the association has set aside a
7rtion of the agricultural hall. 1t is
pected that the space will be filled.
; the government never loses q chance
. encourage movements that tend to
ZIP In the development OF agricultur-
pursuits and considers q state fair
he of the hest for this purpose. Mason
aowden, state agent in charge of this
-ork in Louisiana, Is a staunch friend
Z the fair. and is putting forth efforts
wards having a splendid array of
roducts raised under direction OF his
apartment.
The state is well covered by the rep
ssentatives OF the Farm Co operative
demonstration Department, which In
tructs the farmers how to obtain the
reatest yields from their soils, and
'lows them how to follow the up-to-
I ate methods, the only methods by
N hich the biggest production can be
,ttoined. In addition TO q small army
r demonstration agents. there are nu-
nerous co-operators. and many of
hese will assist In making tho exhibit

There was such an exhibit at the
'air last year. and 1t proved very pop
1lar and instructive.

fine CORN DISPLAY
Will Be Shown by Boys Corn
Clubs This Year.
$4,000 EARSOF FINE CORN

Will Be Shown in This Exhibit, Ae-
cordinq to the Expectation OF the
Management-Many Prizes Otfereo
the Juvenile Corn Growers.
The progress made by the boys OF
Louisiana In raising corn has been
wonderful, as evidenced by the excel
lent exhibits they have made at the
State Fairs held at Shreveport in late
years. What they have done hereto
fore, however, will look small compared
to the showing that is expected to be
made at the big Fair this year. be-
ginning october 80 and continuing
eight days. Reports from all OF the
parishes indicate that interest is al
fever heat and there promises to be
tremendous rivalry in the matter OF
exhibiting the corn grown by the diff
ferent clubs and individuals thereon
AS an inducement to the members OF
these clubs-the juvenile farmers OF
Louisiana-the Fair Association has Of
fered $1,000 in cash premiums to those
making the finest showings. There are
about 1000 members of boys corn CLUBS
scattered through all of the corn pro-
ducing parishes, which means through
ton to the general Boys Corn club dis
play there will be exhibits by the re-
spective parishes, and also individual
members exhibits. Prizes are offered
for all of the different exhibits. From
each club It Is expected that there VIII
be twenty or more exhibits OF ten ears
each and that there will be no less
than 1900 boys participating, which
will mean in the neighborhood OF l2,OOO
OF hn
Prof. E. S. Richardson, who is IN
charge of these clubs through his con-
nection with the State Agricultural De-
partment. expects the 1912 exhibit to be
without equal. Heretofore the exhibits
have been excellent; they have won
great praise for the boys and shown
the wonderful possibilities of the state
in the matter Of producing corn ana
the capability of the boys in handling
the crop: but the showing this year
promises to eclipse all Of its predeces-
sors. BY seeing what their friends and
neighbors have done at the former
Fairs, many more boys have joined the
clubs and planned to take part in the
State Fair exhibit And this also In
dicates that the display this year will
be of record breaking nature.
| AS a matter of reminder. 1t might De
| mentioned that the boy, Stephen Henry
OF Natch1tOcneS parish, WIN cdll icu ~
1 first honors at the Louisiana state FAR
| in the Boys Corn club contest two
years ago and was given a trip to
washington az a gift frem the Bank

corn on exhibifsatS thez pa tional Corn
show and also cssrfadspff highest hon
ors there. And, last-year his brother
another Natichftdches Juvenile farmer
took first honors at the Louisiana FAR
other boys made magnificent records
their productions being far ahead OF
what their fathers produced, due to the
fact that the boys followed the adj
vanced methods of cultivation. Satur-

popular, even without a coliseum and
with an ole grandstand. AS new cor

FIVE Days RACING
Is Promised Visitors to Louisiana
State Fair This Year.
SOME FINE HORSE RACING
Many Entries Have Been Made and the
Race Meet Promises to Be the Best
Ever Seen at the Fair-siG Purses
and Stakes Have Been Offered.

Five DAYS of splendid horse races
will feature tl.c track program at the
seventh Annual state Fair OF Loulsi-
ana. from october 80 to November o.
inclusive.
There are numerous entries by own
ers of fast and prize winning PAGERS,
trotters and runners: the track, which
is a mile around, is in excellent con-
dition; the speed committee and those
associated with them in their plans are
giving careful attention to the pro-
gram; and there Is every reason 10 ex-
pect this years race meet to surpass
all the others And that's saying
great deal, for the racing events mere
iofore have been high class drawing
cards, and the sport in all the various
details have been of the nature to IN
erase interest in horse racing.
Everything possible to make the meet
Interesting has been done by Secretary
l.. N. Bruggerhoff, Chairman Z. r. Cor
don Of the speed committee. and otners
connected with this branch OF the FAR.
and visitors may feel sure OF Witness
ing some hair-raising contests. The
horses that will participate In these
races will come from all parts Of the
country and they will represent an IN
vestment OF many thousands OF dollars
With them will be drivers and jockeys
of wide reputation all Of which tends to
indicate the excellence of the race meet
program.
one of the main plans Of the Fair AS
sociation in connection with the races
has always been to show the horsemen
fair and impartial treatment and gen
eral courtesies; also to- give them
splendid accommodations and convent
ences. This together with the maSni-
ficent track, which is declared to DC
among the fastest in the South. and the
number of purses, stakes and prizes
offered has caused the horsemen to
like the Louisiana State Fair and look
upon 1t as one of the most profitable
to visit. That this is so will be evil
denced by the class Of races that are
promised this year. Signs count fol
naught if this years meet isn't the best
Of all.
There will be five days of the sport
as stated in the beginning Of this re-
port. The opening program will be or

Letters From the
People
PROGRESSIVE PARTY IN GEORGIA


Editor The Georgian:
The Journal, in a recent Sunday
issue, so emphatically misrepresent-
ed the attitude of Colonel Roosevelt
on the negro question that it seems
to call for an equally emphatic re-
ply. In Georgia, the Progressive
party was organized as, and mas
continued to be, the white mans
party of Georgia.
A full and complete answer to
The Journals editorial on Colonel
Roosevelt is the letter to Julian
Harris on the negro topic. That
letter started the fractional bosses
and pap-feeders in both parties into
sudden realization of the fact that
by this position Colonel Roosevelt
had suddenly changed Georgia into
doubtful state politically.
For the first time in the history
of Georgia, white man was given
the opportunity to vote his convic'
lions and not be menaCed by the
Black Plague" Thousands Of men
rejoiced TO know that they were no
longer mentally pledged to support
Democratic candidates, but could
break away from old forced neces-
slty and be free. This started such
a movement in Georgia as TO alarm
the Wilson managers, and the only
possible means of checking the tide
running to Roosevelt was to APP
peal to dying prejudice and shake
the horror Of negro control in Inc
faces of people who know It was
an insult to their intelligence ana
who certainly will resent it on NO.
