WOULD HAVE CHILDREN HELP.

Superintendent of Education Harris
has addressed letter to superintend-
ents and high school principals, saying
in part:
81 wish to suggest that you have ev-
cry pupil in your parish write to Pres
ident Woodrow Wilson telling him of
the food ravages and asking him to
use the influence of his office to have
Congress give us relief. These letters
may be of some weight with the Pres
ident, and, besides, they will consti-
tute an excellent exercise in compost
ton. Each child should write, sign,
address and mail his or her own let
ter, after receiving the proper expla
nation from the teacher"
Superintendent Harris, of the State
Department of Education, intends to
ask the board to approve, for next ses-
sion, two kinds of agricultural depart
ments, the first department such as
is being operated now, requiring de-
monstration farms, necessary build
ings. tools, trained teachers, ETC., and
the second department having none
of these except an agricultural and me-
chanical college graduate as teacher
The teacher will require each boy TAX
ing the work in agriculture to plant at
home plot in corn, cotton, potatoes,
hay, vegetables, raise poultry, hogs,
cattle, ETC., under the supervision of
the teacher. The State appropriation
will be about one-half that of the first
type.
The State appropriation this year is
$1,000 to each agricultural department;
the amount next year will be governed
by the number of departments approx
ed.
The superintendent also desires to
hear from those parishes which may
wish to install the department of do
nestle science. The State appropria-
ton for domestic science was $500
for each department this session, and
the appropriation next session will de-
pend upon the number of departments
approved

OPTIMISM.

The Public. Chicago:
A great deal of optimistic drivel mas

mist is the man who, no matter how
hard the knocks, always comes back
happy, Honor be to that kind of opti-
mist. But there is a species of opti-
mist who succumbs not to logic and
knows not reason. You may demon
strate proposition to rational mind
and find acceptance, but the false opti-
mist sheds demonstrations as ducks

with as crooked an intellect as ever
Have you met him? He is an arch enc

A SORRY SPECTACLE.

This is how it looks to the New York
World, referring to recent Democratic
caucus;
I'm that assemblage six of the eight
Louisiana members supported taxed
wool. Why? Because the congress-
men who represent wool always unite
with them for taxed sugar! 1t is fra
ternity of graft.
There is fierce democracy in Lou
isiana, but it makes common cause
with anybody, Republicans preferred,
who Will do something to help sugar.
Taking the party platforms into con-
sideration, could Democrat, even a
Louisiana Democrat, be in worse COM
pany?"
This is all so true, that the number
of Louisiana Democrats is daily in
creasing, who say, mo more of this.
Free sugar is better than such an
equivocal political position.
The true Democrat. [volume] (Bayou Sara [La.]) 1892-1928, 1913-05-17

made 1t any better than two female
witnesses.
There is no state in the Union which
protects married women better than
Louisiana, and in no state have they
greater rights and privileges and great
er security for the protection of their
property; and for the information of
Mr., Haskin let me say that women are
now competent witnesses to wills, ex-
cept to those of their husbands, by an
act passed in 1908. AS before stated,
the wife must have the consent of her
husband or of the court to mortgage
or sell her separate property, and the
husband can not sell or mortgage the
community property standing in the
name of the wife without her consent
or authority, and If she refuses to sign
even the court can not supply the want
OF her signature. This requirement of
the wife's signature in such cases is
embodied in an act of the General AS
sembly passed last year, which act also
makes the separate property of the
wife all her earnings when living apart
from her husband, and, in any event,
her earnings when she is carrying on
a business, trade or other occupation
or industry separate from her husband,
and any property purchased with funds
thus derived is her separate property.
The act was prepared by Mr.. r. E.
Milling, president Of the Civil Code
Commission, and myself, and introduc-
ed and carried through the General
Assembly by Mr. M. H. Manion, repre-
sentative from the Fourteenth Ward.

Do not turn the work horses and
mules on grass on Sunday and keep
them on dry feed all the rest of the
week. The grass may do them a posi-
tive injury. If Monday is hot and the
work is hard, the horse or mule that
had grass on Sunday will not only be
unable to do as much work, but will
run much greater risk of suffering
from collie and being "over-heated. -
