This is pointed out by the converse
ton Of the delegates inthe first week
OF the convention. Everyone Of them
has come to Baton Rouge with certain
fixed ideas Of taxation firmly lodged
In his or her mind.
Two ideas appear paramount among
the delegates. One is that the rate
Of taxation has reached its limit The
other is that more money is needed
for the government, both local and
state, to function properly.
The solution then lies in providing
means for catching the tsxdodgers
and also for the equalization Of taxa
ton in order that each person or con-
Germ shall pay the fair share OF taxes
due by them.
Uniformity and equality Of taxa.
ton" is the theme uppermost in the
delegates minds. This is taking the
form of a demandehat every man pay
taxes In conformity with those paid by
his neighbor. Among the country
delegates there is a persistent stand
that the owner of idle cultivable land
shall be assessed the same value as
his hard working neighbor who keeps
his land in cultivation. With the city
delegates there prevails the same
sentiment that a man who is holding
property for speculative purposes and
not developing 1t in accord with
neighboring property shall be assess.
ed on the same basis as his neigh.
Dor.

THREE WISE FOOLS"

Bearing the Broadway stamp Of
emphatic, approval, Three Wise
Fools" Austin Strong's delectable
comedy, comes to the Tulane thea
tire for the week starting Sunday
night. There will be matinees
Wednesday and Saturday.
Not only is it a play with a record
333 performances in New York, as
well as long engagements in Chica-
60, Philadelphia, Boston and other
big centers, but it comes here with
the original cast.
The title refers to three staid old
bachelors, prosperous and distin-
guished-a judge, physician and a
financier, who share one residence,
an old-fashioned home in Washing
ton Square, the stronghold once of
New York's ultra-conservatives, and
who, like the Three Guardsmen" of
Dumas, are lone for all and all for
one"
These three old dodgers have

Ipnal rut of the preceding gen.

De love to the same girl and lost.
AL three live with her memory ever
alive as the one great event of their

Queathed for adoption to these old
chaps, and her advent into their

disclose more of the plot would be
to detract from many pleasant sur
prises in store.

High School Pupils
To Seek Recruits i'm
Grammar Grade
Students Ready TO Advance
Will Hear Boys and Girls
Discourse ON Benefits of
Rivals for EnroIlments

High school boys and girls will have
a chance to "sell" their respective
schools to the graduates of the ele-
mentary institutions this month. Ac-
cording to City Superintendent Ettin-
gers instructions to teachers, issued
recently, two weeks of May will be
set aside in each school for recruiting
prospective high school pupils from
the grammar grades. Boys and girls
from the junior high and the high
schools will 60 to the elementary
buildings and make talks on the advan-
tages and attractions of their places
of learning.
Following these introductions, the
graduates from the elementary schools
will have chance to visit the
high schools. which offer the things
they believe they want. They will be
shown about and be given an opportu-
nifty to make up their minds as to
which suits them best before enrolling
1--WE feel that children have selected
their high schools without sufficient
basis" said District Superin tendent
William E. Grady yesterday.
This chance to learn more about
the high schools before selection is
made should not only make for greater
satisfaction in the schools themselves
but also increase the number who will
enroll. Also l believe the pupils will
be more inclined to stick after they
have once entered"
Another phase of work which Super.
intendent Ettinger is inaugurating is
that of recruiting teachers. A com
mittee of district superinendents will
visit all the high schools attended by
boys this spring for the especial pur-
pose of urging boys to enter training
schools for teachers.

Poe Originals Discovered
In Forgotten Pillowcase
Manuscripts, Including 'Lenore'
and 'Annabel Lee Tossed
About for Years

The announcement of an exhibition
and sale of manuscripts and letters Of
Edgar Allan Poe at the Anderson Gal
leries next week has revealed the re-
markable incident of their discovery
in relegsted pillowcase at the home
of descendent of Henry &. Hirst, q
poet and friend of Poe. Stuffed away
and forgotten for years, this pillow
case, which, as the repository of liter
airy treasures, is something new in the
history of literary "fnds," was dis
covered to contain the original manu-
script of "Lenore." another of the es-
say "About Critics and Criticism" and
the poem "Annabel Lee" in Poe's hand
writing. There were besides an I'M
published letter about his "Berenice"
and tie original manuscript of
"Eulalie"
AS far as the owner of the pillowcase
was aware it's contents we're quite
valueless except as family mementos
However, she took the manuscript of
"Lenore" one day recently to Mitchell
Kennerly, president of the Anderson
Galleries, and asked him if it were
worth anything. She was surprised
when he told her it had value of
hundreds of dollars. Then the woman
told him of the other documents hidden
away in the pillow case. AS result
of this incident it was decided to place
most of the letters and manuscripts
on sale.
The Poe relies, together with many
letters from other writers of his time
found in the psllowcase, were the
T 3perty of Henry B. Hirst, a poet of
the last century and author of 'Endym-
ion," who enjoyed the friendship OF
leading literary figures in his time:
Besides the items referred to there
are two letters from Poe to Mr.. Hirst,
one of them relating to the Poe English
attacks, not published in Poe's Life
and Letters" and the other regarding
Hirst's poem, "Endymion," of which
the writer says, 81 am glad to hear
that you are getting out Endymion, of
which you must know that think
highly-very highly-if / did fall
asleep while hearing it read"
The manuscripts are written in Poe's
peculiar fashion of using narrow strips
OF paper pasted together, the critical
manuscript being $50 inches in length
In the same sale, which commences
on Monday, volumes from the sporting
library of William Brewster, of New
York City, will be offered.
