Editor Krebs, of the Lake Charles American,
is beginning to feel that some good thing can
come out of Nazareth, after all, and longs for
Lake Charles to begin to pattern after Texas
methods in selling real estate. He says: “The
American feels impelled to coincide with Mr.
S. G. Warner’s conclusion that it is better to
sell land to homeseekers on its merits than to
take them about in free Pullman palace trains,
fill them up with good cheer and other things
and sell them any old thing at the highest price
possible, in the Texas land baron style, but the
melancholy fact remains that the Texas lane
barons are selling a thousand acres of poor
lapd to every one of good land that the home-
seeker can l>e induced to purchase in Louisiana.

Georgia, having for its object the securing of
better salaries for teachers in the public schools.
On this subject the Atlanta Constitution says;
“A great many public school teachers in At-
lanta and elsewhere have been working at a
lower wage than policemen, in a profession that
is just as useful to society and that requires in-
finitely greater intellectual capacity and prep-
aration.
We have inadvertently overlooked this fact
in the myriad demands of an age every keynote
of which is progress.
We have also been somewhat slow in realizing
that the school teacher is on a plane with the
igr, when it comes to regulating and direct-
ing thepfffstie years of the child’s life. She is
in contact with the child in its freshest, most
jag receptive hours. It is not a hazardous assertion
|| that upon her falls the burden of correcting
many of the slack or indolent habits and m<in
nerisms contracted in a home where the train-
ing is not all that it should be.
The movement now on foot in Atlanta seeking
to make the minimum salary of a teacher $50
a month is an eminently commendable one. Noi;
possessing the redress of the ballot, the schoo
teacher must depend upon the moral responsive-
ness of the community for justice.”
It might be well for Representative Bowles,
of the Texas legislature, to read the above. He
has introduced a bill in the legislature having
for its object the reduction of the salaries o
teachers in the public schools of Texas.
There is no higher profession or calling than
that of a teacher. Next to parenthood in im
ice, the teacher very, very often ha
give the child the training and the moral teach-
ing that it so sadly lacks in the home.
It requires training and hard study to fit
teacher for the proper discharge of his or her
duties and every effort of the people and the
law making bodies should be towards improv
ing the lot of the teacher rather than decreas-
ing their efficiency by reducing their salaries
and making it impossible for schools to secure
Drat class talent.
Atlanta is on the right track. Our Texas
legislator who is trying to make a name for him-
self by reducing the salaries of school teachers
is very palpably on the wrong road.

may be kept straight we will relieve their minds
of this impression. The Legislative Committee

in Austin during the session of the legislature,
was organized at Fort Worth. The resolution
that brought this committee into being and
made it a part of the Texas Commercial Sec-

of the Orange Daily leader and by him submit-

Under the above caption Editor Will Easter-
ling, of the Alpine Avalanche, proceeds to take
a few yards of cuticle from the person of Rep-
resentative Moblfey, of the Texas Legislature,
and he performs the operation in such a neat
and satisfactory manner that we feel constrain-
ed to give onr readers the benefit of it. Easter-
ling says:
“Mr. Mobley, whoever he is, has, it seems,
discovered that the country press of Texas is
very corrupt, and he wants to save it from its
own polluted inclinations. He is quoted as say-
ing:
“ ‘Just before the district courts meet each
year you will find in various papers items about
.‘fraudulent damage suits against the railroads.’
The Farm and Ranch and other papers have
contained such articles at the time I speak of.
Such matter is written by the railroads, I
• should say that 25 per cent—perhap^ 15 per
cent—of the country papers of Texas accept
such matter. They receive pay in transports
B and otherwise. This is an evil which should
remedied.’
“We are not absolutely certain of it, but we
believe Mr. Mobley is a liar. In an experience
of more than eighteen years on the press of
Texas, three-fourths of which has been spent on
fmpen, such a state of affairs has not

The Beaumont Enterprise very wisely re-
marks that “Orange county should remember
that while the oil industry is all right, fanning
has had a longer life and will probably be here
when the last oil well goes dry.” And it is
certainly true that there are more men of wealth
today who accumulated this wealth from their
farms than there are men of wealth who were
made so by oil wells. I>evelopment of the oil
industry is all right and is to be encouraged,
but we don’t want to neglect the essential thing
of developing our farming industry also.
“If Lake Charles jobbers can do such a large
nisiness under the handicap of unfair freight
rates, what could they do if they had a square
dealt” asks the Lake Charles American. Job-
>ers at Orange are asking that same question.
Unjust and unfair treatment from the railroads
in tha matter of freight rates is doing more to
restrict the jobbing trade of Orange than any
other one thing. We have an idea, though, that
it is not always going to be thus. We are go
