THE osE-YEAR LIMITATION.

There is no question about the justice of
abolishing the one-year limitation for the
reinstatement of the veterans who were
turned out of Office by the Cleveland Adj
ministration. Thousands of as good clerks
and officials as ever served the Government
men who had given years Of their lives to
perfecting their knowledge of their duties
were turned out to make room for hungry
heelers. To keep the latter in and the for
mer out is a perversion of all true Civil
Service Reform. We think that President
Harrison will come to see it in this light
and abrogate the rule. at least so far as it
injuriously affects men who earned prefer
enee for public employment by service in
war time. The Railway Mail Service was q
special field for the working Of injustice by
Cleveland's crowd. The clerkships there
were eagerly coveted by the local politicians,
and hundreds of old soldiers-among them
the very best clerks in the service-were
made to walk the plank. To make an eff
cient mail clerk requires years of careful
training in that speciality, which, on the
other hand, gives no peculiar fitness for any
other walk of life. The dismissal of these
men deprived them of a means of livelihood,
and was also exceedingly detrimental to the
| r47hI;o % tba daD,oroJizeJ ooOd if;o,, IF tI,a
service under Cleveland demonstrated. Con
sequently, every consideration dictates that
these men should be restored To apply
the Civil Service rule that no one shall be
restored who has been out over year OF
over, without lot of circumloeution and
influence, is gross injustice to the clerk
and very poor policy for the public.

who served as Lieutenant in that excellent
regiment, the 9th N. J., and is now styled
General" by reason of a militia commits
sion, is man of unceasing activity, but un,
fortunate in that much of it is badly misdi,
rected. The result is that he frequently lays
himself open to severe but well-deserved
censure. His most recent performance il
that line was during the Centennial eelebra
ton, when, in moment of gush, he took {
GAR. badge from his own breast and fas
tened it on that of Gov. Gordon, of Georgia
addressing him as Comrade" There is M
possible defense for such an act. 1t was {
gross violation of his fraternal obligation t.
win himself little notoriety, and he SHOULD
be made to answer for it before court-mar
tial. The act was misdemeanor under thu
laws of the State, since they prohibit th'
wearing of GAR. badge by an unauthor
lied person. The New York and New Jer
sey comrades are very indignant, as they
have right to be, and they have mad,

ONE of the best evidences of the wisdom
of our protective policy is the wonderful
development of our paper making industries.
1t is within the memory of comparatively
young men when paper was scarce and
costly, and our fathers and mothers utilized
every scrap. But few years ago such paper
as newspapers are printed on cost Is cents a
pound Now it can be bought for cents,
and our people have the best and cheapest
paper in the world There are more paper
mills employing more mechanics in the
United States than in any other country.
Germany, which has also stimulated her
production by protection, comes nearest us
but no other country has half so many mills

IT may be that Bismarck has outwitted
US after all, by his complete backdown in
regard to Samoa. It may be that he has
gained just such victory over us as Eng
land gained by her apparent defeat in the
Geneva Arbitration. It will be remembered
that then we were delighted over the award
of $15,000,000, but England fastened us
firmly to a principle which will prevent us
taking the same advantage of her in some
future war that she took of us during the re-
bellion. Thisvictory would have been cheap
at many times its cost to her. She had ut
terly destroyed our foreign commerce, which
put countless millions of dollars in the peck
cts of her people. If she were to become
involved in war with Germany or Russia
our hands would now be tied from sweeping
her commerce from the seas, by letting loose
q cloud of Alabamas and Shenandoahs. We
were the only Nation that she needed really
fear in this respect, and she was smart
enough to trap US into harmlessness. Bis
marck is more than likely anxious to resign
all claims upon Samoa to get us firmly com
mitted to policy which will prevent u
from assuming control of the Isthmus o
Panama, Cuba and the Sandwich Islands
some day in the near future, when our for
eign policy will demand that course

Your Daughters Should Go
to School.

Bossier Parish contains MANY GIRLS
and young ladies who are WORTHY of
the best advantages; their good DUAL
ties should be brought out and de-
veloped by the best schools, and now
Is the time to look into this matter
Where can you find such a school !?
Ii you will write to Prof. Eugene
Miller, OF Shreveport, La, you will
lind that he is conducting a frst-class
Boarding School for girls and young
Ladies. Everything about the school
IS strictly first class, teachers from
the best colleges in America and
Europe, good buildings, good board,
and every attention is paid to
thoroughness. Music and Art are
taught by competent teachers, French
and German are spoken in the class
room, and every other department
necessary for good education is
carried to high standard. The
school is chartered under the laws of
the State, and has met with remarka-
able success. During lastyear, which
was its second year of existence, 1914
pupils were matriculated, and each
year the buildings occupied by the
school have grown too small, and
more extensive quarters were neces-
sary.
Shreveport is your business point, |
and Is more accessible than any other
point. 1t is just the place for a good |
school, and just the place to suit the
convenience of Bossier people. You
can see your daughters frequently, |
and In measure, look into the prog
ress they are making The school
will occupy next year both of the well
known Battle Houses, situated on
Edwards street.
If you have daughters to educate,
be sure you send to Prof. Miller for
catalogue before you make your ar
engagements to send elsewhere. The
terms are reasonable, and you will
doubtless be better satisfied with this
school than you have ever been with
any other. 1t is worth enquiring into
at any rate; get the best that is in your
power and you will never regret it.
Don't wait, but attend to this i'm
portant matter as soon as possible.
