WANT TO LOCATE THE REFORM
REFORM SCHOOL AT JACKSON.

Rev. John L. Sutton, prominent in
all prison reform work, is interesting
himself in the project of having the
state reform school at Jackson, using
the old Centenary buildings. He
says that from the viewpoint of ad-
vantage to the state that the location
is ideal The trend of the day is to
locate such schools away from the
cities and railroads, in some quiet,
healthful place where there will be
an opportunity given the youths to
grow morally strong enough to with
stand temptation Moreover the build
ings at Jackson are adapted for the
purpose, the amount received from
the Monroe reformatory 100000,
being sufficient to put the place In
order for immediate occupancy. Lat
er a wall could be built in front of
the campus where the boys could
exercise, free from observation.
On the other hand, 1t would great
ly aid Jackson to have this state
institution there. Mr.. Sutton says
he has conferred with some of the
leading citizens of the town, and
they report that the majority will
welcome the locating of a reform
school in Jackson. The prejudice
against it, in the opinion of Mr.. SUIT
ton, is due to the impression that
there will be contact of some kind
with the inmates. Such Is not the
case. There would be even less
than with the insane at the Louisi-
ana Hospital.
To be frank that was this papers
only objection. With it's removal,
we stand ready to assist in the en-
deayor to secure the reformatory
for Jackson. The time is short, as
the special session of the legislature,
before whom the matter will come,
sits only twelve days. What is
done, 'twere we'll it were done
quickly.

ADVANCE IN SANITATION.

Among the reviews incident to La
Dor Day. it was appropriate enough
that the indefatigable president of
the State Board of Health, DR.. Oscar
Bowling, should present to the daily
press, a resume of what the Board
(that is, he) has done. For 1t is no
reflection on the Board that the Doc
tor should largely dominate it. Rath-
er it is to the great credit Of the
Board. that its members are all, as
a rule, so imbued with his advanced
and sane ideas that they appear
amaIgamated into one, personality.
The State Board of Health has d.
vided its work into administration,
food and drugs, vital statistics, hook
worm, child hygiene and educational
publicity division.
OF the measures most imperative
IN the administration department
rroper amendments to the code seemed
paramount. In accordance with this
the food and drug regulations were
revised and other articles amended.

PLAN TO RETIRE THE STATE
DEBT.

State Treasurer LeDoux E. Smith
offers scheme by which the State
debt can be retired in forty-one
years, as follows:
Call an extra session of the Legis-
lature, request it to authorize the
State Board of Liquidation to issue
short-time paper bearing a greater
rate of interest than 4 per ccent
Issue this paper for one and one
half years-say, till July /, 1915.
Then at the regular session in
1914, the Legislature can arrange to
submit an amendment to the Consti-
tuition to be voted upon by the peo-
pie at the regular election in Nov.
1914.
Let the Governor and the Board
of Liquidation appeal to the deposit
tors in the savings banks to invest in
this short-time paper. This can be
done, for | feel that the people of
Louisiana are as patriotic as the peo-
pie were in the United States when
Cleveland was told by Wall Street
he could not float per cent bonds
he called upon the people and it was
over-subscribed to l. By only ask
| ing the people of Louisiana to in
vest one-third of their savings &C.
count it will be more than subscrlb-
ed and they will get as much or
more interest on their money, and it
will be just as safe.
There is on deposit in the savings
banks of Louisiana (see Comptroller's
report of June 4, and Young's report
June %, 1879 savings accounts, GER
tificates of deposit and demand Ger.
tificates of deposit, etc, amounting to
more than $36,OOO,O00.
When the legislature meets in
regular session in 1914, let it submit
an amendment for the State to issue
41sserial bonds, and then in forty.
one years we can wipe out the debt
entirely,
"Our assessment today (1912, the
lest we have) is $55O,517, 1903.
1--WE are now setting aside 2-20
mills to the interest tax fund to
meet the interest and fixed charges.
This plan provides that l 500 mills
be set aside for that purpose and to
retire the serial bonds. This is an
Increase of 800 mills and with this
small increase and no growth what
ever in assessments we can retire the
state debt in forty-one years.
THE assessments will grow but
with what we have can do it and the
balance can be used elsewhere.
have worked it out and have the
figures to demonstrate it. These
figures will show that the first year
we can retire $4,000 of the bonds
and as the years go by we can retire
more and more each year and in the
forty-one years we will have retired
the entire 81, 1OS.3OO."

BOOST.

There are great many people on
this earth we don't need and who we
wish we could just easily push off.
Knockers, for instance. There is a
difference between knocker and a
kicker. Sometimes people kick to a
good purpose. But a knocker is a
knocker-a pest and a destroyer. Here
is the way to push the knocker into
oblivion:
Boost!
Boost your town. Boost your bust
ness. Boost your friends. Boost your
ideas. Boost everything that helps you.
Be booster and you can't help but be
a builder.
Boost!
The man who boosts is leader. He
is always followed by a crowd. His
philosophy at once becomes contagi-
Gus. He leaves trail of boosters in
his path, and those who follow him cut
his name into bronze.
Boost!
When you don't know what else to
boost. 1t makes little odds what
you boost so long as you boost some
thing. Once you form the habit you
mood have no fear for lack of things
to boost. They will spring up from
every direction.
Boost!
If you want to be happy-boost. II
you want to get higher in the world
boost. The busiest and wisest men
that live will be glad to listen to you
If you're booster Learn the knack
of boosting. It's a great knack--
more important than any pull or

WIN A GOLD MEDAL.

A gold medal to the school boy
or girl between the ages of 10 and
Is who writes the best composition.
not to exceed SOC words, on the
repair and maintenance OF earth
roads, is to be awarded by Logan
Waller Page, Director, Office of
Public Roads, United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, Washington, ID.
G. All compositions must be submit
ted to Mr.. Page before May 10, 10,
and the medal will be awarded as
soon thereafter as the compositions
can be graded The compositions
may be based on knowledge gained
from books or other sources, but no
quotations should be made.
After many years experience In
dealing with the public road situa-
ton of the country. 1t is Mr.. Pages
belief that ignorance on the subject
OF repair and maintenance of road
is as much the cause OF their bad
conditions as any other one factor.
1t is expected that the competition
will bring about better under
standing of the subject of repair
and maintenance in the rural dis
tricts.
Many children living in the rur-
al districts have experienced the
disadvantages of roads made impas-
sable through lack of proper
maintenance and 1t is expected that
their interest in the competition
will stimulate greater interest among
the parents. Bad roads have pre-
vented many children from obtain
ing a proper education and have
even prevented doctors from reach
ing the side OF rural patients in
time to save their lives.
Any child between the ages mem
toned, attending a country school,
may compete. Only one side of the
paper must be written on; each
page should be numbered; the name
age, and address of the writer, and
the name and location OF the school
which he or she is attending must
De plainly written at the top of the
first page. The announcement of the
competition has been sent to the SUI
perintendents of schools In the rur-
al districts. No further information
can be obtained from the Office OF
Public Roads. This announcement
should be plain to everyone, and
all children will thus start on ba-
sis of equality.

DEATH OF MRS. CLARK.

Mrs. Daisy Westlake Clark, whose
critical illness caused by uremia
following the birth OF a stillborn
child was noted In this paper last
week, died about 700 p. m. Thurs
day last. She was buried In the
Fulkerson cemetery on Friday after
noon. Funeral services were held
at her late residence, conducted by
Revs. G. d. Plummer, of the Meth
odist Church, and l.. M. Copley, who
preached very appropriate sermon,
addressed mainly TO the living. The
funeral was very largely attended.
Mrs. Clark was 43 years old and
was born in this city. She was, the
daughter OF Lydia and the late
Lewis Atkins. She was married
twice, and Is survived by her sec
ond husband, William Clark. Her
first husband was e. II. WeBtlake,
by whom She had son, Ernest
Westlake. who operates the linotype
machine in the NEWS office. One
child was born to the union with
Mr.. Clark. girl who died In Aug
ust las at the age OF two years.
The deceased is survived by her
mother, two sisters-Mrs. ]. A..
Shannon, OF Central City, and Mrs.
John Wellman. OF Louisa, and two
BROTHERS George and Ora Atkins.
CT this city.
Quite early In life Mrs. Clark
united with the M. Il. Church and
continued In that relation until her
D ath. While not demonstrative wo-
man those who knew her best have
every reason to believe that the
faith she professed In her youth re-
manned with her and gained for her
an entrance into the home Of the
best.
Mrs. Clark was a good wife,
daughter, mother and sister. Those
TO whom she was connected by these
ties will ever hold her in affection
ate regard.

Died Of spinal Meningitis.

The NEWS last week noted the
illness of John, the son OF Richard
Skaggs. of this city, saying that
there was but little hope of his re-
covery. The young man died Thurs
day night Of spinal meningitis, one
of the most deadly diseases known
to physicians. Early on Friday morn
ing the body was taken to Terry
Vile, near the Johnson county line,
and buried in the Skaggs burying
ground. The unfortunate young man:
had been at work In Portsmouth,
where the malady is said to be ep-
ldemic, and when he came to Lou
lisa on the N. and w. train Tues
day night the evidences of cerebro
spinal meningitis were so many and
so decided that the physicians who
saw him and those who had de-
scription of the case had but lit
tie, II any, doubt concerning the ma
ture of the disordefs DIR. Bromley,
lwho attended the case, had 1.-The
house where the boy died fumigated
and took all possible precautions to
prevent the spread of the disease.
Spinal meningitis is a highly In
fictitious disease and it is apt to be-
come epidemic. but 1t is also spora-
die, or occurring here and there,
singly. But in any form the death
rate is very high. OF course, where
1t RACES as an epidemic, the disease
seems to assume more virulent
form.
That the sporadic or single cases
kill is shown by the fact that a
death resulted at Charley, this coun-
ty. last week from the disorder. The
victim was child of @. G. (Lum)
Bowling, of Georges creek. Physi-
clans. who attended the case say it
was decidedly one of spinal menin-
gifts.
1t Is not within the province OF
newspaper to say much, IL any
thing, of the medical treatment OF
any disease, but 1t surely is its du-
Ity to urge the public to clean up
and to keep cleaned up. Admitting
the possibility of the spread of any
infection it is well to lessen that
possibility as much as possible. Per-
.sonal and habitation cleanliness, the
use of lime, copperas. soap and wat
.er are to be urged upon all They
are all cheap, all available, and they
are all antagonistic to disease.
