Personal.

Mr.. John w. A. Jeter, chief dep
utv tax collector in the office of
Sheriff Flournoy, has returned from
Baton Rouge, where he settled his
collections with State Auditor Paul
Capdeyielle. According to the rec
ords there was collectible on the
roll of 1912: State tax Si27,763.43:
Confederate Veterans $5,i09.i7; good
roads $6,3S6.65; levee tax St5, 6.09;;
total $i54,7O5.34. Of this amount
1858, ,392O3 paid to the State Auditor
represents a collection Of SO per
cent. Such record is unexcelled.
There was also settlement OF
$516.63 as interest on delinquent
taxes: also collected $315,000 for the
parish, and $4,000 for the school as
taxes for the year 1912
In this exhibit, which is credit
able to the Parish Of Caddo and to
the sheriff's department, is evil
denced the fact that Deputy Jeter
has directed his best efforts towards
these collections by always having
in attendance some assistant in the
office when not present himself, and
therefore there has been no delay
| no 'scome# or call again. Besides this
promptness, every taxpayer has re
ceived courteous attention, which
has popularized the sheriff's Office
And this is said in no vainglorlou:
spirit Of praise, but as a merltee
acknowledgement of the apprecia:
tion of an official who has beer
faithful and diligent in the per
! fOrmancp of his duties.

Just Dollars-Not Human Lives.

Monroe NewIBtar: Certain spe-
cial interests of this country OBJ
tanned great grants and privileges
from the. Mexican government. The
profits were enormous as it practl-
cally amounted to the exploitation
of Mexico by American trusts.
When these trusts made these in
vestments they fully understood the
perils of Mexican revolutions and
uprisings. It is currently believed
that American syndicates financed
at least several Of these insurrec-
tions in Mexico. Now they desire to
force the American government to
interfere in Mexican affairs. Stories
are told of American citizens whose
lives are-in danger in Mexico.
When Secretary of State Bryan
was approached with these crafty
pleas he frankly said that he be-
lieyed this anxiety was due to dol
lars rather than human lives and
boldly told his petitioners to give
him the names and addresses OF
American citizens in Mexico whose
Hives are in danger and he would get
those citizens out Of Mexico Oh
course these names and addresses
] can not be given.
This government is acting most
wisely in keeping. its skirts entirel,
clear of all Mexican internal affairs
and we hope that after Ambassador
/ Wilson has reached Washington ane
acquainted President Wilson will
/ the situation, he will decide ito d'
all possible to protect American cit
liens, but that he will not attemp
to aid the greedy trusts in their ef.
forts to grow rich at the expense o
legitimate development. Above al
]: we hope there will be no interven
Il ton at this time.

PUBLIC OPINION

Editor of The Farmer:
 I read in your valuable paper that MT. Patrick Cuddy, the personal tax collector, wants to have the Memor- ial Day committee refrain from nav ing America sung at the services of the day because the air is English and the same as 4sGod Save the King. ? I agree with MT. Cuddy in not having anything English in the celebration if it is possible But I remember read- ing a short time ago that J.. M Stew art, the composer of the Defense of Fort Henry made an appeal that the public refrain from singing t@The Star Spangled Banner because it's music has been by an old English drinking song I noticed that The Star Span gled Banner was the song that MT. Cuddy recommended because it was not English. Composer Stevens said that his good American spirit revolt ed against the strains of the music to which Francis Scott Keys beauti- dy does not like tsAmerica1 because it is English too What are we going to do? Can't we turn the clock back to the early days of the nation and ask the composers to write another air. If we sing any song on Memorial Day we will have to use English words, at least Yankee Doodle is not solemn enough for the occasion, but if it were selected some one might kick because it is said that the music of the stir ring song was originally Italian How many Of us alive today can recognize music of the period of Henry the VIII when we hear it, anyhow?

 Out of our gladness comes sadness, Sunshine is followed by rain; For every hour of joy we know Comes an hour of pain. Out of her Southern land so dear She came to brighten the way, Sad at times. yet light of heart, To make her friends so gay.

 Back to the arms Of Christ. Little Pattie has gone to rest With her God in His sphere on high No pain, no sorrow, no sadness will Her life will be ever so nigh. With wings of white throughout the
