Congressman Aswell's efforts
to stir the Department of Justice
to activity in connection with the
governments suit, long pending
in the General Court of the West
ern District of Louisiana, against
the New Orleans Pacific Railway
Company, are bearing fruit.
The Congressman to-day re-
ceived a letter from Earnest

eral, in which the latter states
that the entire matter is now be-
ing investigated by special rep

he says, action will be taken,
looking to the final disposition of

Closing Doors to Young Men of CUES.
tionable Character.

A woman standing high in the
social circles of her city crossed
off the names of two young men
from her invitation list. The ac-
ton was bound to be noticed, and
it was. So several friends went
to her and pleaded for the young
men. "Of course it is unfortu-
nate, !" they argued. that these
young men are not just what
they should be, but you are very
likely now to drive them farther
toward ruin by your action in so
publicly calling attention to their
habits by excluding them from
your social affairs" The social
leader listened. No." she said
firmly, you are wrong. We
have all been wrong in opening
the doors of our houses to them.
| warned both of them that /
would do this if they did not
mend their ways, and while they
listened respectfully they went
right on. For the. sake of my
own two daughters, and the
daughters of other mothers who
come to my house, my doors are
closed to them" The woman's
stand had the effect of helping
more timid and wavering moth
ers, and before the season was
over practically every door was
closed to the young men, says
the Ladies' Home Journal.
What society in all our cities
needs is a woman of this sort
who will enforce strict quaran-
tine in regard to moral infection,
and who will help her more timid
sisters to follow suit. The day
when young men can behave as
they choose and still find decent
homes open to them is passing,
and the sooner they are made to
realize it, if they cannot see it
for themselves, the better. -

Mr.. Dunbar Secures Evidence Against
Walters in COlfax.

was shifted temporarily to Col
fax on last Wednesday, wher
Mr.. c. P. Dunbar, the father Of
little 'Bobbie" the kidnapped
child, spent three or four hours
here getting evidence about the
movements Of Walters. the al
legged kidnapper, just prior to
the disappearance of the little
fellow. While here Mr.. Dunbar
secured an affidavit from Mr..
W. L. Prichard to the effect that
Prichard recognizes the published
pictures of Walters as the picture
of man who boarded at his no.
tel in Trout, La, some time in
1910, and that it is the picture of
the same man whom Prichard
met in Alexandria some time in
May or June of last year. Wal
tiers has claimed that he was
never west of the Mississippi
river last year, and Mr.. Dunbar
wanted the affidavit to refute
this statement. In closing an
interview with Mr.. Dunbar a
Chronicle representative express
ed the belief that he had found
his long lost child and hoped that
he would retain possession of
him. Mr.. Dunbar smiled, his jaws
set hard, and replied, 1--WE got

ly agree with you that they are
inserted only to down some wor-
thy applicant, and favor others
who have a pull.
While | agree with you that
such silly questions should be
erased from the list, | wish to
say that some other equally silly
things should be erased from the
text books that OUR youths have
to study, and something more
practical and useful inserted in
stead. For illustration, cut out
the great yarns of the Legends of
Sleepy Hollow, Rip Van Wrinkle,
Red Riding Hood, Courtship Of
Miles Standish, and other nom
sensical lies, that can be of no
value to a pupil in after life, and
other things inserted for a pupil
to learn that will be of value and
needful in after life.
A child's mind is like a blank
book, and they are filling the
pages day by day with what they
learn in school and at home, and
everything that happens. In
stead of filling their minds with
idle tales about what some old

land by which we are governed, |
and by which they have to abide.
We elect men and send them to

to make laws by which our chill

in some place, and price put on

fairy tales that would be better
forgotten than learned. The re-
suit is that our dear children are
started out in life and if they |
learn very much about the laws
by which they are forced to abide,
it is when they are hauled into
court for having committed some
crime against the State when
they didn't know they had COM
any crime at all. There
is where the catch comes. See?
Fifty per cent of the crimes and
disagreements that arise among
people is due to ignorance of the
