A Change In Our High Schools
For Efficiency.

a change in the management of
the studies of our high school
which becomes effective next ses.
sion will place us on the footing
of the best and largest high schools
in our state. Promotions will be
made twice during the session,
there will, of course, be two divi-
sions of each grade-each division
doing different kind of work than
the other. The same change will
take effect at the Breaux Bridge
School. Instead of having one
graduating class year there will
be two.
This will be of great benefit to
the parents (as well as to the chill
dren) as time and expense will be
saved. The school officials deserve
the thanks of the patrons for this
advanced step i'll the Improvement
of the high schools.

To Hold Election Soon.

There is quite a political fight
in the fourth ward for members of
the School Board, the present
members, Messrs. j. Il. Bulliard
and A. j. Dauterive, are being op-
posed by Messrs. l.. &. ST. Ger
main and George Champagne.
Messrs. Bulliard and Dauterieve
have proved themselves good and
interested members of the school
board, and We believe the voters of
the fourth ward would represent
their best interest i'll voting to re-
tain them in office, however good
and qualified may be their oppo-
nents. The people can gain no.
thing by a change.

EXCISE TAX ON SUGAR.

The fact that the Philadelphia
Record. one of the leading Demo
cratic Journals of The North. is
again agitatiug an assault upon
Sugar by demanding the imposi-
ton of an excise tax of one cent
upon sugar. which would mean
taking the cent protection which
is now the profit of the planter.
will have a bad effect and may be
the cause of many Progressives GO
ing to the Republican party in
stead of returning to the Democra-
tic party. as the continued assault
upon sugar is the principal cause
of driving the third district from
the Democratic party.
We are pleased to note, however.
that Mr.. Wade O. Martin, Demo-
cratic candidate, is in favor of pro-
tccting all the industries of this
country, and if elected we feel con-
fdent that he will make a strong
effort i'll giving sugar and all
Southern industries and interest,
all the protection they need and
deserve.

BAN JOHNSON WOULD
REORGANIZE LEAGUES

Chicago. III. Jan 3(-President
Johnson, of the American league, who
recently said he would advocate next
fail radical change in the governing
OF organized baseball. was quoted to-
cay as saying he would suggest that
ball players be given representa- on
new body which. he hopes. will take
the place Of the National commission.
The minor leagues may aslo elect a
member to the proposed board. presi-
dent Johnson said.
This action, president Johnson be-
lieves, would tend to remove the dis
satisfaction which has long existed in
baseball and make one organization at
the head of the sport instead Of three
which are more or less in conflict at
the present time.
There are now three governing
bodies the National commission, the
National Association of Professional
Baseball leagues. and the Baseball
Players Fraternity. The second on the
list is the minor league organization.

When the legislators dealt a death

more than anything else, he loved to

During the height of his career he
raced his own horses on his own
tracks and won with them. This
soured some of the other owners. They
thought COrrigan should either refuse
to campaign his own horses on his
own track or have them pulled" once
in a while so the other owners could

EW York, Jan 26.-The story OF

a wonderful stud farm in Kentucky;
he owned the great Hawthorne track

Along in 1902 and 1903 Corrigan's
fortune was estimated at around
$4,000, 000-and money was raining in
everything he touched turned to gold
He bought horses that didn't look fast
enough to pull a dray, put those horses
in a race-and they ran away from
the field.

And then. Just when everyone was
wondering whether Corrigan would
give John D. a race for the honor OF
