New Orleans Picayune: More than one
tenth of the world are soldiers in the armies
and sailors in the war fleets of the nations
of the earth, or are directly engaged build
ing Notifications and ships, in manufacture
ing arms and explosives and munitions of
war. There are fifteen hundred million
human beings that make up the population
OF our globe. One-half are men, who
number 75O 100000. One hundred million
OF these men are soldiers and sailors, or
otherwise employed in preparation for war,
and all are paid wages.

Good Week for Cotton.

The Memphis Commercial Appeal Of
Monday, 10Th, says:
The week was favorable over much the
larger part of Southern cotton States, and
in many sections the development at the
present time is all that ssems possible. The
plant is growing very fast and is setting
fruit in very satisfactory manner. The
earlier hollis are nearing maturity, and if
the frost is somewhat delayed districts that
once looked poor will make fair or
large crop.
1t is worthy of notice, however, that up
to August 1st the plant was small over very
wide areas and had not set any fruit to
speak of. Since that date it has done we'll,
but naturally has not made up early de-
ficiencies. 1t is also true that, owing to the
delay in in this process, a late season is
needed to mature the crop.
Exceptions to the general progress are
noted in North Carolina and South Central
and Southern Texas, where the rainfall
has been insufficient to carry the plant
forward. The cotton caterpillar has APP
peared in some numbers throughout Gen.
trail and Eastern Texas and in a small way
in Louisiana, Southern Alabama and
Southwestern Georgia. The damage is not
material as yet.
There is very littlo open cotton save in
Texas. Boil weevils are more numerous
in Mississippi and Louisiana.
The crop is doing nicely in Louisiana,
although rain has fallen in excess of needs
in many parishes. Late cotton is growing
and fruiting we'll, even where planted after
the overflow.

this district in Congress for four terms
being first elected in 1904 to the Fifty
ninth Congressman his ability to serve

TEACHERS AFRAID OF THE SCHOOL RING.

The State Board of Education dismissed
Leon M. Favrot Monday from the post OF
high school inspector, and elected in his
stead, A. C. Bernard, Superintendent of
Education of St. Martin Parish. {" a prac-
teal and active school man and we'll equip
ped for the position" Hon. E. A. Ed
wards, Representative of Evangeline Par
ish said: "This is fine appointment, and
will meet with the approval of 80 per cent
of the school people of the State. Many
of Mr.. Bernard 8 friends in the House of
Representatives bore similar testimony to
that of Mr.. Edwards.
Mr.. G.. j. Brown, the present rural school
inspector, being the only candidate for the
position, was unanimously re- elected.
In seconding the nomination of Mr.. Ber-
nard, Mr.. D. c. Scarborough of Natchito-
ches, DECLARED that the present condition
of the teachers was deplorable in their at
titude on school affairs. He said that on
school matters the teachers of the State
were afraid to express themselves and that
the sooner this condition was corrected the
better. He said that he had great many
letters from teachers over the State en-
dorsing Mr.. Bernard and criticising Mr..
Favrot, but he said that those who wrote
these letters were afraid to let their names
be used. The teachers of the State were
afraid to come out and express themselves. -
During the past eight years this deplor-
able condition has grown and fourished,
insolently Haunting its defiance in the face
of public sentiment. The Banner is glad
to see that the present State Board of Ed
ucation has the interest Of education al
heart, and intends to call a halt on school
ring rule and One Man Power!
If the Legislature, at it's next session, will
kindly enact law providing for the cleo
ton by the people of all school officials
and the selection of all teachers by the
patrons of schools, the teachers will not
be "afraid to come out and express them
Selves" and the schools will then not be
so much in evidence in politics. Teachers
will not feel compelled to endorse eulogistic
resolutions directly or indirectly favorable
to gubernatorial candidate, or contribute
to dollar campaign fund. The Banner
stands for the rights of the patrons anc
teachers of schools. Although it has IN.
derhandedly and indirectly been preached
to the contrary, the interests of patrons an6
teachers are mutual, and the teachers bes
friends are the patrons of their schools.

New Orleans Christian Advocate: A
young man was recently arrested for burg
larly in Chicago. He is the son of refined
and highly respected parents. His down.
fall is said to be traceable to the habit of
reading detective stories and dime novels.
How long will parents be unmindful of the
fact that what boy reads is in some way
woven into his life and character? If there
is care exercised anywhere in the culture
of children, it should be exercised at this
point.
