New AnRusta Hiph School Notes

The entire school was very much
grieved Monday morning upon hear
ing of the death of Roy Grove, a
member of the Junior class and a most
highly esteemed student and associate.
He was loved for his high type of
character and manly politeness at all
times. He was a gentleman in the
truest sense of the word, and though
he has been with US only five months.
he has cared lasting impression and
will be fondly remembered by all. The
school wishes to extend their heartfelt
sympathies to all his loved ones.

Wilson Ts Right

President Wilson will do the
right thing if he goes in for a
fight for the limitation Of de-
bate in the Senate. No better
excuse for a fight will ever arise,
and no reform of recent years
Would be a greater step toward
democratic government.
The time was past. decades
ago, when unlimited debate in
the Senate had any virtue as a
eonservator of American liber-
ties, In this age of newspapers
the public is kept we'll informed
of our natural needs, and with
out the help of the Congressional
Record Newspaper reporters
who know more about what is
{oing on than our senators, have
.old the people about it before
he senator gets up for break
asst. Any student of govern
nent knows that debate on
nither floor Of Congress is super
luous and time wasted. Dis
,ussion that counts is done in
5he committee, and it is in the
committee that popular liberties
are conserved.
The United States Senate in
the present crisis is to be con
demned for its undemocratic
organization. A dozen senators
reprcsentating a minority of our
population are allowed in crisis
or any other time to block the
Will Of the majority. If demo
mocratic government means
anything it means the rule of
the majority. The present crisis
has demonstrated the fact that
popular will can be thwarted,
and all because of insane rules
of Senate organization.
1t will do no good to scold
Senator Latoilette, or any other
of the eleven senators. There
always will be LaFollettes and
unanimous consent on an import
ant measure is not to be eX-
pected. 1t is right for senators
to express their opinion and vote
accordingly, but it is not con-
forming to American democratic
ideals for one-eighth of a legis-
lative body to prevent the action
of the other seven-eights. Pres
ident Wilson is to be encouraged
ir his fight against this evil. If
successful it will be the second
big reform of his administra-
ton. The first was his hooking
up of the executive and legislat-
i've departments of the govern
ment when he decided to go to
Congress and help it enact laws.

We Crown a Dufchmdn


From Western Exchange
Hans Wagner was 43 years
old last week. And at the age
when most men are all through
as athletes, the wonderful Dutch
man seems to be almost as good as
new. For more than two decades
he has been star in baseball,
the most trying and exacting
sport of the world.
Certainly the career of Hans
Wagner is great argument for
clean living, Also it is another
argument for the new-accepted
theory that professional athletics
and decency can go together. In
this way, Hans Wagner has
done as much to advance decency
and clean-living as a lecturer, a
hygiene expert or a college
teacher.
Hans Wagner will be remem-
bered when he has passed on as
the foremost exponent of clean
sport. He has played hard, but
he has played clean. Wagner
never has been chased" by an
umpire, and for his long service
to American sport, he is worthy
of the gratitude of a Sport-lov-

Times Picayune. The theory
would be perfectly tenable if tht
votes cast by senators and repre-
sontatives touched the interest!
Of no states save their own. But
as a matter Of fact, the entire
country is concerned in the pas

which it follows that the entire

The Smiths Reason

While the village blacksmith toiled
manfully over the old farmers plow-
share, the owner Of the share recount
ed at some length the wonderful sue
cess he had had with three litters Of
pigs he had marketed that day.
"Them pigs we're less than eight
months DID," the farmer ran on, land
they brought me ten cents u pound,
or little more than four hundred
dollars. Why, a few years ago those
same pigs would have brought me
only about half as much. l tell you,
the farmer is having his harvest now.
The smith, having finished sharp
ening the share, handed 1t to his Gus
toner. From a well-worn purse the
farmer took two dimes, the usual
price for the job, and dropped them
into the smiths hand.
You'll have to come again." said
the smith still holding the money In
his outstretched palm. II charge
thirty cents since the first Of the year
for sharpening that size plow."
why, how now?' the farmer ex-
claimed testify. That's an outrage.
Why have you raised the price on
ine?'
80 buy some OF that high-priced
pork you were tellin' me about" was
the smiths calm reply. - Youths's
