THE DARK DAYS OF ROOSE
WELT.

He was President During the
Panic of 1907 When Scrip was
Everywhere and Money No
where Contrast Of the Condi-
tions Then With Those of To-
Gay.
kx-Presldent Roosevelt has fallen back
on The calamity cry OF the little Republi-
can politicians throughout the country
and takes The position that prosperity
cannot exist during Democratic admin
isiration.
This is the same Mr. Roosevelt whose
focc lpancv Of the Presidency was chiefly
sgualzed bv the panic OF 1907, and The
ensuing depression. from which the
country was only emerging. when his
successors successor was installed
in office
During that panic. when Mr.. Roose-
veil was in the White House, there was
organized in every section OF the country
NO MEAT CLUBS. Money was so
scarce and meat was SO high that many
people throughout the land boycotted
meat and were forced to a vegetable
diet The people of this nation have not
been forced 10 any such boycott under
the Wilson administration. There is an
abundance everywhere.
You remember of course, the SCRIP
days of the Roosevelt administration. In
those never to-be-forgotten days people
who had good hard money in the banks
could not draw it out. Checks were no
good. Depositors were given scrip in
stead OF money. which had to be hawk
ed around and finally exchanged at a
discount. Remember those dark days
back in 1902 Well, the next time that
little, two-by-four Republican SAYS
anything about alleged business depres-
sion IN the year 1914, just bark back 10
the Republican rule and scrip.

IDLE SCHOOLS IN SUMMER.

The following from the New Yor
World editorial columns carries il
,wn Interpretation
The National Education Asso.
citation in St. Paul runs up against
the problem Of the schools in sum
mer because the problem is ineseap
able 1t confronts one everywhere
in the eide, empty school houses. Ia
New York City We are not even US
ine them to teach English to for
eien born adults who have or pres
emily will have the vote.
Two false precedents have done
mischief in our education. Schools
in rural districts used to grant long
vacations so that big boys could
work on the farm. The New York
law required only twenty-eight
weeks Of school in the year; some
Southern States still require even
less But New York City pupils
are not working on the farm in long
vacation; too often they are idling
in the street And it costs nearly
50, 900, 900 to carry the unused
school houses for couple Of
months.
English public schools and
universities, maintained for the
wealthy, have similarly bedeyiled
our college calendars. In Oxford
man is supposed to do his studying
in vacations, 50 short and so full :
are the terms. The students in our
more democratic universities cannot
afford tutors for such wastefu sys-
TEN; summer baseball or semi idle
ness often claims them. Most col
leges, to do them justice, are now
using their equipment all summer,
in special work or enabling bright
pupils to graduate in three years.
One reason often assigned for the
pace at which Germany is forging
alongside Great Britain, and for the
fact that German boys are about
TWO years ahead of ours in school
advancement, is that the absurd
idea of giving healthy children two
to four months vacation while their
parents get one or two weeks, or
none at all, has not found favor
there.
The school plant of city should
never stand idle. 1t has cost too
much and there is always work for
it to do.

A Few Men Own the Bulk of
the Timber Land in the Uni
ted States.

Concentration Of the timber lands in
the United States in the hands of few
owners is alleged in a report on the
lumber trust. sent to President Wilson
by Joseph z. Davis, Commissioner of
Corporations.
Two men hold 4o per cent of the
timber in Southwestern Washington, the
report says: five men hold 36 per cent.
in Western Oregon. SIX have 10 per cent.
in Northeastern California, ten have
more than half in the redwood area, and
in Northern Central Idaho, four holders
haie so per cent.
Together with this enormous concen-
traiion of the timber ownership is a cor
responding concentration of land owner
shil. According to the figures, 1904
timber owners hold in fee more than
one-twentieih of the land area OF the
whole of the United States from Can
ada to the Mexican border
These I I.694 holders own los, 600. 900
acres, in area four-fflhs Of he size of
France or more than two and half
times the land area of the six New Eng
land States. Sixteen holders own nearly
half of the total, or nearly ten times the
area of New Jersey.

AGAIN BULLY FOR HEARST

Mr.. Hearst has kindly submitted to
an interview in Mr. Hearsts New York
"American, on the poor prospects of
the Democracy under President Wilson
who is "not a Democrat 10 spirit and
on the possibility that truly Progressive
Democrats like Mr.. Hearst may break
away and join the Progressive Republi-
cans behind Mr.. Roosevelt.
What chiefly troubles Mr.. Hearst
now is also what chiefly troubles Mr..
Roosevelt, says the New York World
editorially recently, a business depres-
sion whose cause is the lowered tariff,an
the evidence of whose existence Mr..
Hearst finds in his understanding nthat
an amazingly large proportion of the

is no demand for them.

THE COUNTY DEMOCRACY
AND GENERAL REGIS
TRATION.

There appears to be no effort made by
the Democratic County Cetrnal Com
mittee to make such efforts as are most
necessary to formulate plans for the COM
ing General Registration which will take
place September 15. 22, %, 20, and
30, and October 6, with revision on Oc-
tober 18th This is most grave con-
dition and should appeal to those in au
thority to have matters arranged
in the different districts and precincts
throughout the county that they can at
once determine the mode of procedure
for the prompt registration of all Demo
Gratis in the county. Procrastination is
dangerous. The candidates on the ticket
will be few and the energy usually dis
played by those on the ticket will be alb.
sent at the registration. The Senatorial
and Congressional candidates will have
much territory to cover and it is up to
their constituents to now show their GOOD
intentions by promptly taking up the
General Registration conditions. An
early meeting of the Central Committees
Of the county should be called and the
matter thoroughly discussed.

Mrs. J. D. Bohannon, Con.
victed of Staying Husband,
Draws Mild Sentence

Mrs. j. d. Bohannon, convicted OF
manslaughter last Saturday, w2s on
Wednesday sentenced to pay a fine Of
81 and to serve term Of one year IN
the State Penitentiary. Judge James
Simon, in sentencing Mis-. Boh2Anon,
said that the trial had been fair that
the Jury had been the selection of the
defense that the iury's verdict was
not contrary to the law and evidence ;
that In pronouncinP sentence the court
must set aside all sympathles and be
absolutely fair aud impartial; that IN
some cases the imposition Of SEN
tence of few days served the ends of
Justice as we'll as one of a hundred
years.
Judge Simon mentioned the petit
tions asking for clemency presented
to him on Tuesday and Wednesday,
saying that these appeals coming 10
him from men and women throughout
the parish esta blished the respect and
regard in which Mrs Bohannon was
held. and he proposed to be as ienient
as possible. Closing, he said: vt may
be that in the future, petition Tor a
pardon will he presented 10 me, and,
if so, | will give it serious considera-
ton"
Mrs. Bohannon will not appeal.
The sentence imposed by Judge ST
mon is popular one. and the general
opinion is that the ends Of justice
have been served.
Judge Simon Wednesday morning
handed down two important decisions.

Southwestern Traction Company, and
Joseph Tiles, Tutor, VS.. The New Ibe-
ria, ST. Mary and Eastern Railroad.
Both decisions were for the defen-
