THE CHEERFUL PAYER.

A Mississippi editor complains of the
churlish manner that some people have
in paying their bills. He says:
zone of the most despicable traits
man can have is displayed when on
being presented with bill for an &C.
count he justly owes and knows that
he owes, he grumbles and mouths
around before paying it, and which
when he finally does, is in a condo
scending way, just as though it was
an accommodation"
Who indeed has not had experience
of such people? They pay certainly,
but in such an ungracious way that one
breads to encounter them, even for the
sake of getting ones just dues. "The
Lord loveth a cheerful giver" says the
Scriptures. Would that st. Paul had
also said that the Lord loveth a cheer
full payer, for the Lord surely does love
all that is honorable and just III human
conduct.

Newspaper readers are familiar with
the moonlight schools" that Mrs. Cora
Wilson Stewart first established in the
Kentucky mountains in 1911. They have
been so successful that eleven other
states have started similar schools.
Under the inspiration Of this example
the people of Kentucky are organizing
to stamp out illiteracy in their state
before 1920. The Kentucky Illiteracy
Commission established two thousand
new schools last year, and twenty
thousand of the one hundred thousand
pupils in attendance were learning to
read and write. The commission has
an able ally in the Women's Forward
Kentucky Movement, which is calling
for two thousand volunteer teachers to
go into the remote districts where the
schools are few and poor.

CHECKING THE TEACHERS
WANDERLusT.

State Superintendent of Education,
Thos. H. Harris, and the parish super
intendents and school boards also, ind
one of the greatest problems OF school
management is in the constant chang
ing of teachers. This is due most
largely to the rowing propensity OF
teachers rather than the ukases OF
school boards, as the latter as rule,
prefer to endure the ills they have than
seek those they know not of. But the
average teacher (she is usually young)
Is constantly on the lookout, with a
view to going elsewhere next year.
Social advantages, few dollars extra
on salary, or simple desire Of change
are the influences at work to induce
teachers to shift from place to place.
At the recent convention OF parish
superintendents, the subject was dis
cussed, but no practical conclusion was
reached, and only one suggestion seems
to have been made, namely, to increase
by a graduated scale the salaries OF
teachers, who remain at the same
place from year to year. 1t was adj
mitted however that this was not an
unfailing means, as so many other Cir
cumstances would interfere.
1t strikes us that since the principal
cause of shifting places is due to offers
of higher salaries, that the superin
tendents by cooperation could readily
control the situation, by making it
rule that first-year teachers be not al
lowed as much pay as second-yeal
teachers. The superintendent by dis
playing proper courtesy to each Other
in making offers to teachers in
brother superintendent parish could
put check on the practice of constan
changing. Too often deliberate at
tempt is made to get teacher, regard
less of the rights and wrongs of thu
matter.

ACID SOIL DETERMINATION.


If white clover, or any Of the clovers,
naturally thrive on the soil, 1t Is apt to
be an indication that the soil is not
acid. There are certain plants that
are naturally inclined to thrive on acid
soil. For instance, the presence oil
blackberry bushes as natural growth
would indicate that the soil was prob
ably acid, as blackberries thrive in
acid soil. A growth of sorrel indicates
an acid soil. Spills that become carpet
ed in winter with moss-like sedge
are generally acid. II cultivated lands
produce good cowpeas, cloEers and
legumes in general it is an indication
that the soil is not acid. A simple and
fairly reliable test that can be made is
to get piece of blue litmus paper and
press it against the moist soil. II, in a
few minutes, 1t turns red, it indicates
that the soil is acid. This Is not an
absolute test, but is reliable enough for
all practical purposes. II the soil is
acid, it shogld have lime added.-W. T.

tons, Louisiana State University.

THE STRICKEN LITTLE SISTER
OF THE WORLD.

All the people left in Belgium-seven
million women, children and old men
are facing starvation Their German
conquerors will not or cannot feed
them. The Allies will not or cannot
feed them. America alone is trying to
keep them alive this winter.
The Commission for Relief in Bel
GUM, which is the only channel through
which food is transmitted to the suffer
ing land, has worked out with the post
office department and with the express
companies a plan whereby any one
who is willing to eat little less in
Iorder that some Belgian woman or
child may live, can contribute his gift
of food Only imperishable foods, of
course, can be handled; for example
beans, canned salmon, rolled oats, vel
low corn meal, dried peas, granulated
sugar, prunes, wheat, -four, etc. Bel
grim wants any kind of food, how
ever that will stand ocean transporta.
ton. Belgium also wants clothing and
blankets. If the giver wishes it, the
money expended for parcel post stamps
or for expressage will be returned tc
him.
Detailed directions for sending these
packages and for obtaining the refund
money will be given upon application
at any post Office or express office II

TRUE SUPERIORITY.

Free copies of Life containing a
souib on "The Inferiority Of the Negro"
seem to be distributed quite generally
to the Southern press. The sQuib reads:
"Our friends down South, being sure
that the negroes are inferior, deny
them advantages and provide inferior
schools for negro children in order
that they will continue to be inferior
and thus prove the correctness OF the
contention of the scientists and senti-
mentalists that the negro is inferior.
After all, their is nothing quite SO salts
flying as the feeling that you have got
things fixed 80 that you will always
have an inferior race in your midst"
This provokes our neighbor of the
Woodville Republican to rather bitter
questioning of Life's motives, whereas
we suspect that Life only intended a
witty fling at Southern inconsistency,
in this regard, which is but too ap-
parent to the unprejudiced observer.
History and ethnology both pronounce
the negro as forming an inferior race.
but the South undoubtedly does exact
lily what Life says it does. How much
greater the Southern white mans su'
periority would prove itself if he did
more for the lower race, which fate
and circumstance have left at his door!
And how much superior he would really
be if he helped the black man-and the
black woman-to higher standard Of
morals. 1t is a poor way for the white
man to make his superiority mere
, matter of assertion, when too often hi
actions show social equality of thu
most undesirable sort. True superiorit!
, never seeks to betray or lower thu
J weaker race.

Louisiana has reason to be proud OF
it's newspapers, especially the country
press, which, as a rule is found on the
right side on all questions of sobriety
and morality. 1t would be a surprise
to find any of them advocating the
liquor traffic or gambling, while their
columns are always open to the
churches and societies that advocate
temperance and intellectual and moral
improvement t.-Ruston Leader.

IT WAS THE TRUE DEMOCRAT.

Country newspapers are coming INTO
line on the question Of clean adVertis'
ing, so Dr., Oscar Bowling, president
of the State Board of Health, has dis
covered
David L. Smith, who gives his adj
dress as a New Orleans postoffice box
wrote DR.. Bowling complaining that
country papers were refusing his ad-
yertisements in which he wished to
tell of his services as an optometrist
Smith gives two references in his let
ter, to a Shreveport physician and a
professor in New Orleans, and asks
DR.. Bowling to give him note to the
papers saying that he was competent
to practice optometry.
Search of the city directory revealed
only one man in New Orleans whose
name corresponded to that OF the
writer of the letter, and showed his
Occupation not as that of optometrist,
but clerk.
AS a result, DR.. Bowling refused the
note requested, and commented on
Smiths circular to the effect that 1t
contained:
Statements, assertions and repre-
sensations that are both deceptive and
misleading, if not untrue"
The doctor further advised Mr.. Smith
that in his opinion "the papers are to
be congratulated for having declined
YOUR advertisement 1t is an encourag
ling New Orleans Item.
The above is quoted with some salts
faction as we believe that The True
Democrat was the one and only coun
try paper referred to- At any rate
when a Mr.. Smith who, we presume
is the one referred to, applied to us
wishing to place an advertisement; II
conformity with our rule we declined
to accept it without some proof that he
was authorized to practice optometry
| He was indignant, saying that ours

this objection. He had numerous rec

Chief Justice Monroe Of Louisiana
never realized that both law and ethics
required that he recuse himself in such
cases where his sons law firm appear
ed before the Supreme Court, until
public complaint was made about it.
Thus it comes to every human being
to feel that the law is made for the
other fellow. Alexander the Great felt
the warmth of the sun, and didn't
notice he was keeping the sunshine
from Diogenes. So Justice Monroe
knowing the purity of his own inten'
lions forgot that they might not look
so well to others. Judge judge thy
self seems to be as difficult as "physi'

DIR. PERSONS CANDIDACY.

DR.. Clarence Pierson, Superintend-
ent of the East Louisiana Hospital for
the Insane, announced last week his
candidacy for governor of Louisiana in
the next primary. The editors Of this
paper have determined to do nothing
to precipitate the issues of tho fall
campaign, or to discuss the candidates,
hence we shall refrain from doing so
in this instance, much as we admire
DR.. Pierson. His management OF the
States Oldest hospital for the insane
has been marked by the most progress
siye ideas and executive ability OF high
order. so that he is favorably known
throughout Louisiana.
In this connection, however, 1t has
always seemed regrettable to us that
men like DR.. Pierson, who accomplish
something worth while in their own pro-
|fession, and who are naturally am
bilious of further achievements, are
forced to turn to other branches OF
endeavor: in other words, having done
the thing at hand with distinction,
there seems to them nothing further
to be done along that line commensu
rate with their abilities. In DR.. Pier
sons case, however, the great work al
the East Louisiana Hospital has but
begun. There are yet so many possibili
ties for achievement, that the frs
thought that occurs to one on hearing
of his political ambitions is, What 6
pity that he should wish to leave this
field of endeayor, just as the seed II
sown!
