OF the most injurious conditions OF the hu

We are In receipt of very
courteous letter from that strong
and valuable friend Of woman,
Mrs. Caroline L. Merrick, in when
was inclosed a reprint of Mrs.
Mcrrick's views on tie subject of
.Women on School Boards"
Article 232 of the State constitu-
ton declares that 'swomen over
21 years of age shall be eligible to
any Office of control or manage
ment under the school laws of the
state. = Mrs. Merrick wishes to
know, and justly, too, why it Is
that this plain provision is ignored.
Possibly the trouble arises from
the indisposltion of the geniler sex
to occupy positions of public
prominence. Their fitness for
duties cannot be questioned; in
fact, weare inclined to believe that
phey would prove far more efficient
on school boards than men. Let
Mrs. Merrick agitate the question.
She will find the mann difficulty to
be the dislike of her own sex to
entering upon such duties --Shrese-
port Times. s

Of a noted battle field the
Atlanta Constitution remarks:
1.-The battle ground of Missionary
Ridge has been converted into a
strawberry patch. Yankee colo
nists have climbed with hoes
where Yankee soldiers rushed
with bayonets, and the earth has
reddenedafter each invasion. On
these sunny slopes the gardener
finds his ideal home, and the berry
lazily perfects itself. Lard that
went begging few years ago at
81 an acre now commands $3.50 an
acre, and where natives starved on
500 acres now are New Englanders
growing rich on ten acres.

The following sensational story
comes from Chicago. 1t was
stated in the Chicago press on
Monday that Azarl. one of the
Italian murderers hanged on Satur-
day, was not killed, and that when
the cofiins were opened at the
cemetery his body had changed its
position and showed signs of life.
1t is SAID that the attendants,
alarmed at the discovery, and
fearing that the murderers re-
storation to life would cause him
to osuffer a second hanging, screwed
down the coffin lid again. The cof-
fms were placed in 4 vault, owing
to indications that the bodies, if
buried, would be taken from their
graves. Mr.. L. J. Nell, president
of the Society for Burial of Indi-
gent Italians, to whom the bodies
were delivered, was seen by a re-
porter in relation to the rumor
He admitted that the body of Azari
had changed its position, but
believed that life was extinct when
the cotfins were opened.

The Coming Session OF Congress.

Within short time the represen-
tatlyes Of the people VIII gather
once more. In Washington to
determine what legislation is in
the interest of their constituents.
The session bids fair to be n
moderately eventful one. Iu addi-
ton to the fixed questionsconcern-
ing appropriations for the various
departments of the government,
the silver dollar Will come promi-
nently tothe front. The stoppage
of its coioage will be strongly
insisted on by the East, while the
West and South will be almost
solidly opposed to such action.
The president, it Is thought, Will
join the East, and demand a repeal
of the silver coinage act. The mass
of Democrats will scarcely approve
such course, for the South and
West, from which Democracy
draws the bulk of its representa-
ton, are a debtor section, and
strongly favor the coinage of an
eIghty-fve-cent silver dollar which
the Eastern creditor must accept
at its face value.
The presidents appointments
may provoke some antagonism
from the Republican Senate; but
this is doubtful. The displace-
ment of few Union soldiers may
awaken the wrath of the more
bitter and partisan Republicans,
but the Senate Is too EVENLY divi-
ded to admit of the success of
such action.
There seems to be no probabil-
ity of any opposition to the presi-
dent policy from within the ranks
of his own party. Whatever criti-
cism may have been INDUCED in by
the press, the necessity for Demo-
cratic unity will prevent any open
attack on the policy of the presi-
dent as outlined up to this time.
He has given us a good, strong,
clean and effective administration,
and his party in Congress will
indorse his course.-Sh-eeepost

The propesed Re,ision OF tine Rules.

The Proposed Revision OF the Rules.
An earnest effort will be made at
the approaching session of Con
gress TO. secure certain modiiica-
tions Of the rules of the House,
which will take away from the
appropriations committe the excIu-
sive control of all the approprla-
tion bills, ana will distribute them
IN part to other committees.
1t is not designed to rob Chair
man Randall of his power, nor yet
to open the doors of the treasury
vaults. The idea Is to facilitate
legislation by reserving four of
the leading appropriation bills for
Mr. Randall's committee, and
distributing the remainder among
those committees already estab-
Iished which are peculiarly fitted
to deal with them.
So far as heard from, majority
of the members of the House are
in favor of the proposed change.
For years the closing days of the
session have seen a scramble and
a rush TO pass the necessary appro-
prlation bills; by the revision
suggested the work can be calmly
and carefully done, and receive
due attention from the House.
BY al means let us have increaS-
ed facilities of legislation, by
which such important measures as
river improvement may receive a
full share of the attention of our
law-makers, and not be dependent
as heretofore, upon mere chance
or the whim Of the national Con-
gress.-Shreaeport Times.

A Story for Major Burke.

An exchange says: Major Burke
of the New Orleans Times-Demo-
crat, proposes as means of
bringing about more harmonious
relations between the North and
the South to print a Southern
newspaper III New York tor circu-
lation in the North, and to be the
medium Of Southern sentiment,
news. etc. There is no mistake
that New Sork presents a finefield
for missionary work, especially
among the newspapers. If the
South will send into the overripe
field some gentleman like Major
Burke, the Inter-Ocean Will heart
lily second his efforts. We, howev-
er, warn the major that he will
have uphill work. The New York
editors are a good deal like the
Beaver family up in the mountains
of Pennsylvania. The good old
pastor of the province had long
labored with the old man Beaver
and his boys, but they continued
IN their wicked ways. Finally a
rattlesnake blt jim and the old
pastor was sent for in haste to help
Jim over the border. In his prayer
he SAID: 20 Lord we thank thee
for rattlesnakes; send one to bite
Bill, one to bite Pete and Dan,
and an awful big enc to bite the
old man, for nothing but rattle
snakes will convert the Beaver
family. Inter Ocean.

From the Gretna Sun, we ascer-
tain the fact, that Mr.. Wilkinson
Police Juror Of the parish of

Attorney $1,000 per annum for bis
services, which could have been
obtained for half that sum, his
former salary. HIS excuse for
such an action being to 'sshow his
contempt for public clamor. =

Der strenuously opposed Mr.. Car
Isle, (the now parish Atty and
went SO far as to ignore his advice,
consulting the District Attorney
instead. The parish also lost $l41.

negligence, but Notwithstanding all
this, Mr.. Wilkinson voted TO raise
the salary of Carlisle (his former
enemy to 1920, without any rea-
son, other than given above. The
committee of public order, thank
ed.two members of the Police Jury
for voting against Carlisle, but
denounced Wilkinson as not q true
reliable and trustworthy servant of
the people, and asked for bis re-

Tim Campbell Is Sunset Cox S
successor in Congress. On one
occasion, when Tim was in the
Legislature, a bill of relief was
pending to which objection was
made on the ground of unconstl-
tutionality. The recipients were
Democrats and Tim was a Demo-
crat; SO he rose up solemnly and
said: Gentlemen, why should a
little thing like the constltooshun
stand between frlends?'' There
are nary other POLITICIANS who
follow Tins rule, but are not
