The Growing Tribe of Walters.

1t is a sorry community that is
unable to boast of having been,
at some time within the past
thirty years, the home of a Wal
tiers man who looks exactly like
the picture given in the papers of
the alleged kidnaper of little Bob
bic Dunbar. From the stories
told it would seem as though the
business of a great army of Wal
terses was to appear in different
parts of the South with a boy
who looked like Bobbie Dunbar,
establish an alibi, and then move
on. The indications point to the
existence Of an organized, though
scattered, band of lawless men,
who are so located as to be able
to pass captured booty down the
line and manufacture testimony
with the greatest possible expe-
dition. Country Review.

Let Us Have Common Sense in the
Public Schools.

For a score of years or more
the Colfax Chronicle has attacked
the public school system of Lou
isiana for its inefficiency in edu-
eating our children for the prac-
teal things of life. We have
printed and published at various
times dozen columns or more
bearing on this subject, and have
sent marked copies of the paper
TO the governor, to the legisla-
tors, and to those in charge of
the educational interests of the
State. all seeming to excite but
little interest in the matter. Our
pointed and direct query has
been: Have we a State Super
intendent of Schools, a Governor,
or anybody else, able to measure
mp and cope with this living is
sue of the hour?"
Our contemporaries, governors,
legislators, and school authori-
ties generally, have passed US by
as kind of harmless crank on
this subject. Others have claim
ed we were knocking" the
schools. But we have hammered
away on the issue sporadically,
and of late years a slight epidem
ic on the subject has been arous
ed by the introduction in thu
State from outside pressure o.
the boys and girls clubs.
Prof. E. S. Richardson, of thu
State University, agricultural ex
tension, has nobly jumped int
the breech and has done som'
heroic work for the cause. Ant

The Louisiana Pencil Pushers.

The Gath annual session of the La.
Press Association was held in Shreve-
port this week on Tuesday, Wednesday
and Thursday, May 6, z, and 8. The
editor of the Chronicle left home Tues
day evening about o'clock, hoping to
reach Shreveport that night in time to
participate in the informal reception of
the Golf and Country Club, but did not
get there until midnight. We had the
pleasure of participating, however, in
all of the exercises of Wednesday, in
GLIDING an automobile ride that after
noon of about forty miles over the city,
fair grounds and model roads adjacent
thereto, winding up at night with a
three hours banquet at Scheer's, tender
ed by the Shreveport Chamber of Com
merce. Eight or ten speeches We're
made by men big in the councils of city
and State and newspaper circles, and
there was truly feast of reason and
flow of soul. " that was greatly enjoyed
by all until after the midnight hour.
A most pleasing and noticeable feature
| of this banquent was the entire absence
of wines or intoxicants of any kind.
Owing to the break down of our press
last week we were anxious about get
ting out this issue of the Chronicle, and
so returned home Thursday morning,
thus missing the third days program.
Time and limited space forbid that
we should attempt to give any details
about the many interesting things we
saw and heard at Shreveport in our
short stay of SO hours. Suffice it to
say the rapid progress and march of
improvements in that city have passed
way beyond the hackneyed phrase of
being remarkable; they are truly grand
and wonderful. Shreveport is to-day
beyond question the City Beautiful OF
the State, and bids fair to hold its dis
tinction without fear of successful ri
valry. Its magnificentp public buildings,
clean streets, many miles of splendid
paving, smooth graveled model roads
reaching out into the country on al
sides, fine residences, beautiful flower
gardens, terraced yards all sodded il
living green, give it picturesque ap
pearance not exceeded by even the ia
nous City of Roses in our State. Bacl
of it all there rests an air of prosperit,
that is unmistakable, and is abundantly
attested by the many factories ami
business enterprises already establish
ed, and others that are springing up Of
all sides as if by magic.

The Chronicle desires to apologize to
its advertisers and readers for the inn
perfectness of the print of the paper
last week, and for mailing the paper a
day behind time. AS explained in our
last issue, owing to a breakdown of
our press we had to send our forms to
Winfield to be printed, and it was only
by the kindness of our brethren of the
Winfield Comrade that we were able
to print the paper at all. They were
laboring with trouble with their own
press, but cheerfully gave way to help
US in our extremity, for which we feel
profoundly grateful.
We telegraphed last week to Grand
Haven, Mich, for the parts necessary
to repair our Diamond cylinder, but up
to the hour for going to press this week
they had not arrived, and it seems to
be quite likely that we shall have to
take our forms to Alexandra to have
this issue printed.
LATER. "A message received at 6'p.
m. Friday states our press parts have
been shipped to North Dakota, hence
this issue will be printed in Alexandria,
delaying the mailing of the paper until
Sunday morning.
