HEADLIGHT BILL IS
SOURCE Of GENERAL
PUBLIC APPROVAL

Local railroad men are all discuss
ing the Napier electric headlight bill,
which has passed both branches of
the legislature and is ready for the
governors signature. The public
generally and railroad men in par
'ticular have always hailed with
pleasure any legislation bringing
added safety to railroading in all its
branches. No legislation in years
gone by has brought so great a meas
ure of safety to the trainmen of the
state as Mr. Napier's bill.
No bill has ever been so bitterly
fought by the moneyed interests af-
fected by this bill, which provides
that all railroads operating line of
road in the state having sixteen miles
or >more of line shall maintain on all
locomotives electric headlights of >
200 or more candle power. This Will
increase the safety on all roads to a
enormous extent and make such
frightful catastrophes as the Dotsero
wreck far less likely to occur.
The electric headlights give three
The daily sentinel., 1913-04-01

times the warning of the old oil
headlights and the reflection of light
on canon walls will prevent many a
wreck in years to come.
The fight made by Senator Napier
for his bill was a magnificent one in
the face of brilliant opposition from
representatives of fourteen different
railroads effective. His last personal
plea is credited with winning the
fight.
Railroads affected in this locality
are the Rio Grande, Colorado Mid
land and Uintah railways. The lat
ter road may escape the rulings OF
the bill due to the fact that it has
no night schedules. All trains get
ting to terminals in daylight.

Coughs and Consumption.

Coughs and colds, when neglected,
always lead to serious trouble of the
lungs. The wisest thing to do when
you have cold that troubles you is
to get bottle of Dr.. Kings New Dis
covery. You will get relief from the
first dose. and finally the cough will
disappear. o. II. Brown, of Musca-
dine, Ala, writes: MY wife was

Congressman-at-Large from Color,

Uncle Sam is beginning to under
stand that he does not know it all -
The old gentleman has heard so many
sneers at the expense of Ignorant
foreigners, and he has given ear to
SO much clap-trap about cheap for
eign labor" that at times he has felt
that the unfortunates who lived on
the other side of the big mill pond,
known as the Atlantic ocean, were
both enslaved and benighted. He be-
lieved the world could teach him lit
tie. But many recent events have
served to sadly disturb our Uncle's
complacency, and the truth is dawn
ing upon him that while America
taught the world the principles of
democracy, the world has far out
stripped its mentor in the practical
application of those principles; that
while we have been indulging in
much vain boasting concerning the
institutions founded by our fathers
these older countries have been bold
ly and insistently seeking the path
TO industrial freedom.

Low Rate of Interest.
The interest on the bond range
from three to four per cent. There
Is an unlimited market for them. In
iact they command higher price
than the government bonds which
uraw the same rate of interest. The
four per cent always command mar
and sometimes a slight premium
They are in particular demand as in
'estments FOR trust funds and for be-
quests left to widows and orphans.
1t can be readily seen that conf.
dence is the very cornerstone of such
system. The Prussian and German
governments maintain so rigid a sup-
ervision of these land banks that in
vestors never question the value OF
the bonds. They know the security
Is ample and that the bonds will be
redeemed on maturity.

They can through the Landschaft be-
come their own bankers and their
own promoters. Such money as they
need for legitimate enterprise NAV
be secured for not to exceed four per
cent, and they pledge as security
their farms-the best security known
to man.
This same thing. or something
very like il, can be established right
here at home. Why shouldn't the
farmers of the Arkansas valley own
the beet sugar factories? Why should
the milling trust control all the ele-
vators and FIGURING mills and fix
the price paid for the farmers
wheat? Why should John Smith,
farmer, Monte Vista, pay 8 to IL per
cent on the mortgage on his farm
when Adolph Schneider. farmer, of
Prussia pays only four?
Is 1t because John Smith is less in
telligent than Adolph Schneider?
Can't an American do what Prus-
sian has done for years?

farmers have established with the
money they got through the land

Mr.. Rufus A. Walker Resigns.

Mr.. Rufus A. Walker, of Pol
lock, first magistrate of ward two
and member of the mercantile
firm of Jas. H. Walker & Son,
on May 5 sent in his resignation
to the governor as magistrate OF
the second ward of Grant parish.
Mr.. Walker, in a letter to Mr.. A.
A. Dean, chairman of the Demo-
cratic parish committee, gives
as a reason for his resignation
the continued affection of his ia
Their, which has so impaired his
health and mind that the care OF
the firms large business is left
dependent on him. He requests
Mr.. Dean to make the necessary
arrangements for calling an cleo
ton. for his successor.
Mr.. Dean is of the opinion that
the resignation has first to be
accepted and an election ordered
by the governor before he is at
liberty to take any steps in the
matter, and is awaiting action0by
the governor, or some instruc-
ton from the Attorney General,
before taking any action. :
We understand there are two
candidates for the vacancy caus-
ed by Mr.. Walkers resignation,
namely, C. U. Robineon and w.
w. White, and that the campaign
between the two is already on,
pending action by the authorities.
In the meanwhile we believe the
law is that Mr.. R. L. Parish,
second justice of ward two, has
jurisdiction Of the entire ward,
and can transact all necessary
magisterial business, and in case
of his failure to do such business
it can be taken to the magis-
trates of the adjoining wards.

and vacuous problems in the
schools; the other six simply
Cultivated" and went to work
to make a living, because they
did not have the time and finan-
cial backing to go through the
absurd curriculum.
The editors individual expert
ence is way above the experience
of the average family. Only one
pupil in thirty in the public
schools usually graduates; and
of the high school graduates,
scarcely one in four will go
through college. Thus we see
that only about one pupil out of
100 attending the public schools
ever goes to college, and the
other 1919 have all been forced to
go through course of study that
our college professors and school
authorities all tell us has been
SPECIALLY PREPARED TO
FIT ALL FOR COLLEGE.
1t seems to us the thing is so
absurd that it should not be al
lowed to continue for another
twenty four hours. Those per-
sons who are able and. want to
go to college have all the oppor-
tunities in the world to do so, and
there is absolutely no sense or
justice in forcing the preparatory
course for college to be taught
in the public schools, when less
than one pupil in a hundred will
ever have any use for such train
ing. Talk about the professions
being over crowded. Of course
they are over crowded, because
we never educate our boys and
girls for anything but the pro-
fessions.
Talk about vain and foolish
things, our public school curricu-
lum is one of the vainest ana
most foolish that we know. And
say, Bob; your idea about making
war on Santa is also time wasted.
i Nine-tenths of the children will
know all about him before they
can read or. enter the walls Of a
school house.

of the State in the matter of i'm
provement and progress in rural
school work. The Verda people
are the first in Grant parish to
propose a tax solely for building
and equipping a modern high
school, and we believe they are
among the first in the State to
propose such a thing. We hearth
ly commend their spirit of pro-
gress, and hope the tax will car
ry, as the movers in this project
firmly believe it will.
REWRITING back to the PROPOSE
ton which we make for the levy
ing of a special 5-mills school
tax throughout the entire parish.
In the most of the districts the
special taxes already levied for
school purposes will expire in the
next year or two, and the effect
of another tax levy in those dis
tricts should only extend the pc
Rod of collection two or three
years, as the case may be. In
other words, the tax should bear
on alLalike, and taxes should not
be, doubled up in any of the dis
tricts; the taxes already levied
to run concurrent with the par
ish wide tax, and such tax to end
in all of the districts at one and
the same time. We believe this
kind of an arrangement can be
perfected under existing laws,
and make the suggestion that it
be considered and discussed by
the people Of the parish as a
whole, pending an investigation
of the matter in the proper quar-
tiers.
