SOME ASSOCIATIONS ACCOMPLISH
SOMETHING.

The newspaper men can get more
profit out of the press association than
any one thing we know Of. Exchanging
ideas and learning what is a fair price
for advertising and job work, within
these three days, may be worth more
to many newspaper men than a whole
years work at home taking printing at
a loss.
The writer is a member of the Tex,
as Press Association, having come
from that state a little over three
months ago, but when the Louisiana
Press Association meets at Shreveport
next month we will be there with our
application for membership, and we
hope to see more of the Louisiana
newspaper men become members
Mansfield Journal.
We are curious to know our con-
frere's opinion a few weeks hence.

THE COUNTRY DOLLAR.

A leading journal for young people
has a wise editorial on "The Country
Dollar" making the point that country
girls should not make the mistake of
wanting to go to the city to get Work,
under the impression that they would
earn a great deal more money. The
article shows that after deducting nee
essary expenses and considering the
loss of home comforts and fresh air,
she is much worse off than her home
staying sister, whose income from but
ter and eggs, or other country money
making schemes, is nearly all profit.
The argument might as truthfully be
carried out with the country boy or
man. Moreover the country dollar it.
self goes farther in buying what one
most wants, than does the city dollar
which is frittered away on the neces'
sary but fleeting car-fare, the stale and
meagre lunch.
But these and no other argument
will avail when the city lure is once
felt. The wise parent in the country
will give his son or his daughter sui
ficient opportunity to know both sorts
of life, that each may see the glamour
of the city, the solid comfort of the
country.

SOLOMON CALLED AGAIN TO
JUDGE.

Is it, isn't it, probably not, some mis-
take, do you think they really know.
aren't you tired to death Of the whole
thing, some people must be doing q
lot of lying, there's fake somewhere.
These are but a few Of the comments
on the Robbie Dunbar, lost child case,
which has been exploited to the limit
by the New Orleans daily papers. The
evidence is certainly too confusing for
any one to form a consistent opinion
on the subject. Perhaps if the news
papers would exercise little reserve,
not to say discretion, on the matter
published, their readers could form a
more lucid opinion Of the situation.
AS it is, Solomon confronted by only
two quarreling mothers had an easy
time compared to the situation of us
modern Solomons, who must listen to
the unceasing clamor of dozens of wit
nesses, faVoring one side or the other,
Witnesses whose credibility, one haf
unfortunately no means of Judging.
Thursday, the Julia Anderson moth
er was to be put on the crucial test Of
pointing out her offspring. A certain
interest attaches to the event, though
one may we'll doubt the instincts Of q
person so careless of the duties OF
motherhood.

SHE BLUSHED.

Il want to say to that young lady iG
blue that she is disrespectful to this
court, and that she is making an indie
cent exposure of herself in a public
place. If she wishes me to be more
explicit | will say for her benefit that
her lower limbs are insufficiently clad
She is making far too free an eXhibi-
ton of them-and in a public place,
too"
Thus spoke Justice Gavegan of New
York to young woman in his court
room the other day And yet, accord
ing to the newspaper reports, she was
merely clad in a blue tailor-made suit
and a lace shirt waist. The skirt OF
the suit was rather short and very
tight, as Dame Fashion directs it
should be. Below the skirt there were
gray pumps, with high heels, and above
them was very thin, gray silken hose.
Could not this rightly serve as the
description of many a young woman'S
costume of to-day. 1t is recorded thai
when she crossed her knees and lean.
ed forward, and was reproved by the
judge. that she blushed and tears came
into her eyes.
Can you, be quite sure that all the
other women, of equal culpability,
would also blush upon being thus re-
proved? Some would, many would
we hope, but would all, even among
the girls gently bred? 1t must be
doubted. The trend of the times III
this respect is something awful. There
has been nothing so lax in woman's
dress since the days Of Josephine and
the Directory.

NEEDLEssLY POOR CATTLE.

We confess that in showing strang-
ers about the countryside, this week,
while proud of most of what could be
seen, we were distinctly ashamed OF
some of the cattle. Cattle, emaciated
to a degree that they could hardly
walk alone, is not a proof of natural
lack of food for them, when on every
Inland are seen the most abundant evil
Idence of a luXuriant vegetation, but
they are direct proof of the shiftless-
ness or carelessness of their owners.
In a country like ours, only a little
|forethOugh and care, decent amount
of food, the rudest shelter should bring
every head of cattle, barring sickness
or accident through the severest wiz.
ter ever experienced here.
Such owners are guilty Of a needless
cruelty to animals, and if not actually
finished by law, should feel the weight
of adverse public opinion, as will be
the case as the community advances
in thrift and knowledge. Neglect OF
cattle brings it's own punishment to
the owner in the losses experienced.
But what of the needless sufferings of
these dumb beasts? How does the
good God, who notes each sparrow as
| it falls, feel toward man made in His
own image who thus fails in duty to
the least of these?

The New York Life Insurance Co. is
communicating with its policy holders
to secure assistance from them with
regard to securing exemption for the
life insurance companies for the in
come tax section of the pending tariff
bill The wise policy-holder will do
nothing of the kind He will not let
the sly argument, that he, the small
policy-holder, would really be taxed
thereby. The amount of such a tax is
not appreciable, and the fact that the
insurance companies will pay out of
their immense income a proper quota
to the government, is cheering pos
sibility.

THE NEW SCHEDULE.

Considerable complaint is caused By
the action of the l.. R. & N. in annull
ing trains Nos. 1 and between Bayou
Sara and Baton Rouge.
Owing to the fact that the Y. & NJ. Y.
branch between Bayou Sara and
Slaughter is out of commission, people
living along the line of the l.. r. & n
north of Baton Rouge have but one
train a day, each way, into Baton
Rouge and New Orleans. TO make a
trip to Baton Rouge necessitates spend,
ing the night there, and if one has
much business to transact, one whole
day, parts of two others and two nights
must be spent there. A trip to New
CLEANS requires whole day, two
nights and parts of two other days
The trains now running only be-
tween New Orleans and Baton Rouge
could very easily be run on to Angola,
and thus give the people of this sec
ton nearly as good service as they en-
joyed before the change in schedule.
There seems to be little reason in max.
ing Baton Rouge the terminus of this
run and a strong protest is being made
The town councils of Bayou Sara and
st. Francisyille will probably make a
protest at their next meetings.

Engineer bennett calls our attention
to the fact that the constant use of the
fire hydrants for street sprinkling pur-
poses is strong drain upon their eff
ficiency for fire fighting purposes, as
constant usage wears the washers and
causes leaks. The matter should be
looked into by the proper authorities
and this condition remedied, as any
thing tending to increase fire risks
should not be tolerated

The roads to Jackson are not bad,
except in very few places, and when
one reflects that how little it would
take to make them good-barring the
creek bottoms Of course-it seems a
shame that time should be lost, beasts
and men Wearied, and vehicles racked
to pieces, when few hours of inteili.
gent work would improve the whole
road so per cent. In some cases, a
half hour only would be required to
fill in a rut or cut down a knoll, or nail
a stray plank tighter in bridge A
man working the road by contract by
constant supervision could keep these
roads in fine shape.

NORMAL SCHOOLS NEEDED.

In a speech at the Teachers Con-
vention, State Superintendent Thos. II.
Harris makes the following break" in
what was the main part telling expo
sition of his subject, "The public
schools"
For Mr.. Harris said: Those funda-
mental principles that form the foun-
dation stones of country happiness and
success should be taught in the coun-
try schools, even to the exclusion, if
necessary, of some of the time-honored
subjects like Latin, geometry, algebra
and Egyptian history. Equipping
home and properly keeping it, prepar-
ing food, making clothes, butter and
cheese, raising poultry, gardening, can
ming fruits and vegetables-all coun-
try girls should be taught these things
whether they learn Egyptian history
or not, and the boys should be taught
the value of improved live stock and
how to feed animals they should also
learn about improved farm implements,
soil fertility, drainage, deep blowing
and shallow cultivation, seed selection,
marketing, bodybuilding, rotation Of
crops"
This is good straight sensible talk,
but the amusing point is that very lit
tie Egyptian history is taught either.
In the course of the same speech, Mr..
Harris comments on the increasing de-
mand for teachers, making the follow.
ing conclusion:
Some of the States having similar
conditions are attempting to solve the
problem by having teachers Of country
schools trained in the high school. !
think that our ideal should be higher
than this, and the only solution of the
question that occurs to me is, we shall
have to provide for the training of
about four times as many teachers as
we are now training. We shall not be
able to get away from the necessity of
quadrupling the capacity of the State
Normal School at Natchitoches, estab.
fishing additional normal schools, Or
Transforming some of our existing
State schools into teacher-training
schools"
There can be no question that the
State Superintendent is right. Teach.
ers and yet more teachers will be
needed, whether the present, or bet.
ter, school system will prevail, and
the Louisianian, who is becoming more
inclined to the belief that native teach
ers are best will emphasize this need
and demand more normal schools. The
State will be wise if it Immediately
starts normal school at old Cente-
nary. The site and buildings are there
at hand, and a comparatively small
sum could make the latter sufficiently
habitable for a start.
Let all of us who are most interest
ed in a school in this part of Louisiana,
and who can see that old Centenary is
IT." get together and work for a State
Normal there. Follow no wandering
fires" but stick to the point that this
is the best possible, the most practi-
cal, the most generally beneficent use
for the old college-and work for it!
With Mr.. Harris heavily pressed for
more teachers, and the other reasons
added, the project should win.
