COMING OF THE CIRCUS-AN EPOCH

There are three great epochs in
the life OF a child; the coming oil
its birthday, the opening and
closing of school and the coming
Of a circus or the Big Show. The
spectacular announcement tina,

Jack a dull boy.'' have prom.
,sed scholars of all schools that
they should see the parade OF

The GUARANTEE OF BANK DEPOSITS

The failure of the First Natchez bank
with all the hardships and losses which
such failures entail, naturally brings up
the old question OF some method by
which the depoeitors in banks shall be
absolutely protected.
Mr.. William j. Bryan's plan, which
hasbeen adopted in Oklahoma, for q
government guarantee of fdeposits, based
on small tax on banks, has much to be
said in its favor and the only objection
urged against il il that conservative
and we'll managed banks are required
In measure TO pay for the shortcou-
ipgs OF their fellows. This obiec,io>
would apply with great force to most
kinds OF business, but it is to bc remem.
bered mat the banking business, from
It's very nature, is publie business and
therefore subject to public regulation:
and 1t is, to say tbs least, doubtful if
the safety guaranteed to depositors by
the Bryan plan dos not overoalan e
all objections 10 it.
The spectacle Of widows and orphans
left penniless, to say nothing of the loss
TO others Of the savings OF life time.
certainly appeals to the average man
a iustifying almost anykind OF !egis
lstion which would remedy the possibil.
ity Of such distressing conditions.

Shows have the most unique
trained animal act ever produced,
composed of beare, ponies and
blue face monkeys. Professor
Chas. Duncan, who has created
this act, says without doubt there
is not another act in the world
to equalit. The blue face mon-
keys which are used in this act
are a great specimen OF animal
intelligence, being as nesr the
missing link as can be found.
Words will not express the many
remarkable qualities OF human

these blue face monkeys. The

Madison Parish is Free Of Cattle
Ticks.

A report from Washington.
D. c., brings the news that after
the 1st of November 1918, the
parish of Madison, Louisiana, will
be released from U. 8. govern
ment quarantine, which means
that Madison is tick-free and will
have an outlet for her cattle when
ever che is ready and wherever
she cares to ship them, without
and restrictions from the Federal
authorities.
Madison started to work to
clear herself of cattle ticks just
after the overflow of 1912, and
with systematic, cooperative
endeaver has accomplished what
she set herself to do. In this she
received assistance from the
Federal authorities and the State.
But it was her own initiative that
obtained for her the help mention
ed. In other words she secured
the help mentioned by first help
ing herself by expending money
in dipping watts, employing in.
spectors, etc. Madison is now
clear OF ticks and in the free area
of the country, and is the first
parish in Louisiana to be in this
envisable position.
What does this mean to the peo-
pie Of Madison? 1t means that

LOUISIANA SHOULD TRAIN Her own
TEACHERS.

Many reasons could he given
why the schools of Louisiana
should he taught by teachers
trained in Louisiana. Among
these are the following: Natives
# Louisiana understand by intui-
ii0n and association the educa-
tional and social problems that
confront US; they have a more
immediate and keener interest in
the education of our people; they
understand the youth they are to
teach; and they. first of all are
entitled to receive the millions Of
dollars annually spent in teach
ers' salaries.
Louisiana desires its schools be
taught by native or resident
EouisiaDians for several reasons.
Whenevera Il citizen Of the State is
educated TO the point OF being
qualified az teacher, he raises
the general level Of education
Residents of the State who are in
tere-ted in her material, social
and political progress can certain
ly serve the chools more efficiently
than strangers. Besides all sala.
ries paid to resident teachers

If teachers salaries in Louis.

hundreds of teachers from neigh.

THE ELECTION.

Much interest is naturally centereo
on the result OF the elections OF last
Tuesday for the reason that it was the
first opportunity given to test the feel
ing Of the people as to what the admin
istrstion of President Wilson has ale
ready done ana what it promises to do
In the future.
The fact that She Democratic candi.
dates for Governor in the great manu-
featuring states OF Massachusetts, and
New Jersey were elected by large plu-
r,lisies over both their Republican and
and Progressive opponents is very sig
nificant, in view of the fact that the
campaigns in both OF those states was
fought out on national lines and the
Democratic victory, therefore, indicates
that the predictions Of ruin TO the man
ufacturing interests as the result CT the
passage of the Underwood tariff law,
were merely Republican campaign talk
and Oh at the voters OF those states take
no stock in it.
Probably the most interesting feature
OF the elections was the overwhelming
defeat OF Tammany by the fusion ticket
headed by James Pomeroy Mitchell
Never IL its history has that histori {
Organization met with such rebuke al
the polls, and the cause OF this defeat
:s made plain when it is remembered
that William Sulzer, the impeached and
discredited chief magistrate Of the EN-.
pire State, was elected a member OF the
assembly in New York city by large
majority, demonstrating the purpose OF
the people to register in an unmistsk-
able way their disapproval of Tsmmany
and its methods.
4 On the whole, friends of good govern
usent throughout the country have rea-
son to felicitate themselves on Tues.
days lessons. The Progressive party
showed up very badly, casting a much
smaller vote than that given for 1t las,
year. The breach between that party
and tho old Republican organization i,
apparently as wide as ever, with little
prospect Of being healed; the trend OF
thought in the country is undoubtedly )
