AN EDUCATIONAL DEFICIENCY

The tendency of the day in educational
progress is towards technical instruction
preparation of the youth for the real
activities of life.
To US it appears that an important branch
is being neglected, and that many young
men are being turned out of college totally
unprepared.
The branch to which we refer is one
one that requires high degree of skill and
ira nmg and one that is apt to be exceed
ing'y expensive to the youth possessing a
superficial knowledge of its intricacies.
We therefore think that every college
in the state should include in its curriculum
instruction in the great American game of
draw poker. The young man turned out
without a thorough knowledge of the science
of the game is illprepared for the unequal
contest that will confront him. The adj
vantage and necessity for instructors in
football, baseball, and general athletics is
we'll recognized and it seems strange that
the educators should overlook branch
of such vital Importance to the future well
fare of the student body.
The growing popularity of the game,
and the necessity of its thorough mastery
ny young men who expect to get along in
life, demands that prompt attention should
be given to the subject.
The student should be released from
school fully equipped to meet all corners.
Can he do it unless he knows the game?
We think not. Therefore we suggest an
early consideration of the subject by the

JUMP IN COTTON

Following the government report show
ing the lowest estimate on record, there
was great excitement on the floor OF the
New Orleans Cotton Exchange.
The following account from the New
Orleans States will read like letter from
home to the planters who have few locks
of the staple in sight:
THE figures, 6l.2 per cent of the nor
NAL, were the lowest on record, indicating
the worst crop situation ever known in the
belt at this time of the year.
Prices bulged four dollars bale,
from the lowest to the highest, on the
strongest months. The demand for con-
tracts appeared Unsuitable. Brokers strug-
glel wildly for places at the ring with both
hands full of buying orders. Chairs were
smashed, coats were ripped, hats were lost
in the melee. Not since the Sully year of
1903 have such scenes been witnessed around
the local future ring. From the visitors
gallery, a great crowd of people, many
women in it, looked on with interest.
"On the floor were scores of growers
OF cotton, many of whom were realizing
fortunes on the upward rush of prices"

THE POLITICAL WHEEL TURNS

The death of Judge Alec Boarman of
the federal bench for this district has aroused
political gossip in connection with the va
cancy caused thereby
The resignation of Judge Boarman was
one of the interesting rumors of last winter,
at which time several candidates were men,
toned as possibilities for appointment in
case of his resignation. However, Judge
Boarman did not resign and the claims of
the opposing candidates were never re-
duced to a showdown
Judge F. X. Ransdell was prominently
mentioned as a successor to Judge Boar
man, though ~ was openly whispered at
the time that a powerful political factor
would be lined up against him. 1t now
seems reasonably certain that Judge Rams
dell will secure the position, for indications
point to the dissipation of the opposition
which made doubtful his appointment few
months ago. The exigencies of the last state
campaign gave Senator Ransdell an oppor-
tunity to spike down some propositions in
regard to federal patronage, and in the ex-
ercise of this opportunity it is presumed the
Senator took care of the judgeship for the
western district.
The appointment of Judge Ransdell
would create vacancy in the judicial dis
trict, composed of Madison and East Carroll,
in which event it will be necessary to elect
his successor East carroll has little larger
vote than Madison, which makes it proba.
BILE that the successor will come from that
parish.
Of course the whole matter is one O.
conjecture, but the indications all point to
the correctness of the situation as outlined
above.

Fridays reports were to the effect that
big strike would be called off or at least
postponed The action of the strikers is
based on the passage Of an act by Congress
providing for 8-hour service to be applied to
railroads, witha pro yision for pay on the 10
hour basis, pro rata pay for overtime. The
bill is expected to receive Immediate con-
sideration by Congress. Thesrailread mag
mates are saying little on thessubject except
that the act is unconstitutional.

The case of Chas. A. Brown, railroad

The case of Chas. A. Brown, railroad
conductor, shows one of the harsh results
of strike. He is 66 years old and has an
opportunity to retire on a pension Of eighty
dollars per month. He has life insurance
in the labor organization. He forfeits his
insurance if he refuses to join the strikers;
he forfeits his right to the pension if he
strikes. Being in the middle of a bad fix,
he goes to court and injoins the order from
u0rdering a strike Moral: keep your in
rance in regular company and avoid
union entanglements.

There is much speculation in certain
sections Of Mississippi as to the effect of the
boil weevll on the cotton crop, on the occas-
sion of the first serious infection in these
sections with the pest. The boil weevi ex-
pert is being called upon for information.
The afflicted farmers take pessimistic view
of the situation. The experts have monk
eyed with the boil weevil for about fifteen
years and so far the only thing they have
learned about the pest is that it will knock
July cotton prospect into a cocked-hat,
and that even with the weevil some cotton
can be made. There are few things to
be remembered in handling the trouble
Keep your head and hold your labor. Go
slow and reduce your expenses. This is the
experience Of ten years with the weevil.

yield coupled with satisfactory prices will
make this season a most profitable one for

Up in the Christian town of Lima, Ohio,

Up in the Christian town of Lima, Ohio,
negro committed rape; he was apprehend
ed and hid out by the sheriff The populace,
contrary to supposed northern sentiment,
got excited and demanded that the sheriff
disclose the whereabouts of the criminal.
1t was necessary to beat the officer half to
death in order to force him to give the negro
away. No moral issue is involved. The
moral Law is unchanged, likewise human
nature The Press Of Ohio has educated
the people with lurid examples from the
South against lynching negroes, but how
soon they forget the lesson when once they
get mad. In the South mob would, certain
ly, have lynched the rapist; the sheriff may
have received gentler treatment.

VICIOUS LAWBREAkERS.

+ a from Tie HUTCHINSON, nan q.
ews is being daily emphasized
Lake Charles:
The tOmOb lie ha :
brought out new line of
danger to life and property
and has developed n line of
law violations which are
difficult to deal with. 1t is
difficult to enforce the law
against the autO-Spceder,
the jay driver and the Wei
Gus, selfish, brutal crook
who thinks only Of his own
pleasure and cares nothing
for the safety or the property
of others. Laws have been
passed by state and local
authities bJt they are hard
to cnforc1/s the law used
to be against bootlegging.
1t is just as much a crime
to violate one law as another
but Il hootlegger is a better
citizen thana reckless driver.
The word RECKLESS" is not
the proper one. 1t should be
"viciouS.' The police au-
thorities seem to be afraid
to try to enforce the law and
public sentiment is only
aroused when some one is
killed. a light fine is not
sufficient penalty. Tn ere
will be no genuine enforce
ment of the law until in
some degree the punish
ment fits the crime. Instead
Of merely filming the vicious
driver the law ought to pen
alize him by refusing HIM
the right to drive. That
kind of a penalty would put
a little heart into the man
who now laughs at the law
and is willing to take a
chance on q small fine. The
automObilist who wants to
obey the law would then be
helped by the knowledge
that if he did not he would
be refused the privilege Of
driving at all. Such a pen.
atty would make a law easy
to enforce, for few auto
drivers would run the risk
of having an end put to
their pleasure. g..
