Juvenile Inability.

The average country editor seems
to founder in perfect labyrinth of
infantile helplessness whenever it
comes to discussing a plain legal
proposition. We are led to this
philosophic diatribe and epigrsm-
matte conclusion by the insne and
homogeneous comments and con-
structions placed upon the school
law by the editors of the Bunkie
Blade and the VIM Parish Com
rade. It seems that the police
juries of VIM and Avoyelles par
ishes decline to make any pro-
vision for the public schools. The
law is this: !
Snc. 81. That the police jurors Of the
several parishes, = mag levy for
the support of the common schools Of
their respective parishes not less than one
and half mills tax ON the dollar Of the
assessed valuation Of the property there
Of. This shall be provided for in their
annual budget. On the refusal or neglect
to levy said tax or to vote for such levy, the
parish school board shall haze the right,
and it shall be its duty, to compel By
nsandamus, which may be tried in cham
bers or in open court, the levy OF said tax
to be collected as in case Of parish and
corporation taxes.
In discussing this law the Avoy-
Giles editor gravely points to "may
levy" as leaving the matter entirely
at the discretion of the respective
police juries,and then subsidies into
mastery inactivity, after devoting

In the matter of controversy, re-
lating to the letting out of the
building of the Sugar House and
Middle bridges for the price and
sum of 1926 for the two bridges,
which contract was awarded to Mr..
w. d. Irwin at the last meeting of
the police jury without the usual
advertisement for bids, we have
been requested to explain the rea-
son for this hasty and unusual
action, which is about this:
The bridges were so badly broken
down that the parish was in inn
minent danger of being cast for
damages, as there is constant pass
ing over these bridges all the time.
A committee appointed by the
police jury 20 reported. and the
body decided to act at once. After
considerable discussion and in
quiry for some one to do the work
they made tins proposition to Mr..
G. H. Mcknight, who refused, but
proposed to furnish, the lumbel if
Mr.. Irwin could do the work. and
so it was awarded to him. A care
full estimate of the work to be done
shows that no reputable carpenter
can make the two bridges for $500,
and save himself from loss, and
1926 by no means represents clear
profit of $125 to the builder, who
is required to insure both bridges
for a period of Eve years.
There ia no question but that the
police jury acted without precedent
in the matter, and we are not dis
posed to apologize for their going
out of the beaten track, but they
certainly cannot be accused of i'm
proper or criminal neglect Of the
public interests. On the contrary,
their zeal for the public led them
into the error of letting out the
contract without first advertising
for competitive bids

Good Bait for Suckers.

The mplished editor OF the Baton
Rouge Advocate is not only s'well up" in
profane history but seems to have dab
bled somewhat IN scriptural lore. In
reference to the battle-cry the New Delta
sent forth throughout the land over
a double headed leader the day after the
Supreme Court decision, he comments
thus: I'VE are rather surprised that the
New Delta selected so unfortunate text
of scripture as the rallying cry of its
party. 1t is suggestive of defeat, and
was used by Sheba, the son of Birchi, in
his revolt against David. He blew blast
on his trumpet, and went forth crying.
20 your tents, 0 Israel until he had
gathered great host of the disaffected
element under his banner, but the mighty
men Of Judah pursued after him and
his followers, and besieged them in the
stronghold where they took refuge for
was cut of by traitors in his own camp,
and thrown over the wall to Joab, who
was the leader of David's army, and the
Sheba party was utterly defeated. Then
Joab exulted; he blew blast on his
trumpet as the signal Of victory, for the
returns were all in and he had carried
the election by large majority, and he
had Sheba's head to certify to the fact.
Moral-Don't be too previous, and be-
ware of scriptural observation-disclosures
dria Times, May 6.
The above reminds us very forci-
bly, of the story Of two men who
laid a wager, one betting that the
other did not know the Lords
prayer. When the other began.
"Now l lay me down to Sleep" the
first cried, "Hold, l give it up; you
can take the money!" The clever
editor of the Advocate has woven
a neat fabrication out of the Bible
story of the division of the king
dom of Israel between Rehoboam,
son of Solomon, and Jeroboam, the
son of Nebat. The Advocate man
brazenly substitutes names and dis
torts facts, the editor of the Alex
andria Times accepts and swallows
his clever fiction as gospel truth!
The true narrative, as related in LIST
Kings, 18th chapter, shows that it
all happened two generations after
the death of David and Joab, land no
such parsonage as Sheba, the son
of Birchi, figured in the transac-
ton at all. ITO your tents, Oh!
Israel" as the rallying cry of the
tribes of Israel opposed TO Judah,
is a slogan that has never lost pow
or from that day to this. This is
asserted in the 10Th and Goth
verses of the chapter mentioned:
$50 Israel rebelled against the
house of David unto this day:
There was none that followed the
house of David, but the tribe of Ju-
dab only" Comp. I'd Sam. Goth oh.
Moral-Don't go off half cooked
before reading your Bible.

The president of tire Winn par
ish school board explains to the
editor of the Comrade that he has
repeatedly called upon the police
jury of that parish to set aside II
mills of the taxes for school pur-
poses, but that the police jury each
time has refused to comply. Bro.

and incontinently proceeds to re-
tract anything he may have said
intimating a failure on the part of
the honorable school board to do
its duty" Then, in column and
q half article he fops hopelessly
about in rambling criticism of
things in general, embracing the
police jury, school board, John A.
Morris and the lottery, the farmers
union, the text books of the schools,
parish taxation, the annual budget,
and reform, parish, State and ma
tional; but not one word is said or
suggested about compelling by

of the public schools.

Secret Societies supererogatory.

Secret Societies SupererOgatOry.
Bro. Brian, our neighboring con-
frere of the Winn Parish Comrade,
labors with our idea that all secret
societies have outlived their USE
fulness especially in these United
States, where men are free to ex-
press their views, or openly COM
bine for the forwarding of any
scheme for the public good and
community interest. He thinks it
a new departure" lately boiled to
the surface since taking out our
withdrawal card from the farmers
union, and asks us to include party
caucuses as among the unnecessary
and secret conclaves.
In the first place, we would in
form Bro. Brian that we got our
idea nearly thirty years ago, from
our worthy sire, who was a Royal
Arch Mason, and we have both
talked and written on the subject
ten years before we ever heard OF
the farmers union. Having be-
iOnged in our time to four different
secret organizations, and having a
general idea of several others from
reading their constitutions and by
laws, we feel safe in saying that
the objects and intentions of all of
them can just as well be carried
out in open agreement and public
combination as in secret conclave.
This is true whether it be for the
promotion of temperance and moral
rectitude, for the sake of benefits,
relief of widows and orphans, con-
tributing to the sick and poor, or
for sweet charity's sake" in any
and all of its varied forms. The
very idea of secresy is servile, and
carries with it the intimation of
fear fear of some tyrant in power,
or of some force that publicity
would create. This idea is repug-
nant to a free and enlightened peo-
pie; and is especially so when it is
totally useless and unnecessary to
be secret about the objects sought
to be accomplished.
Our idea is that it would be more
independent and manly to operate
all societies openly, similarly to
agricultural, fair and press associ-
atoms, improvement companies,
charitable organizations, etc. It
might on very rare occasions be
advisable to exclude the general
public = to hold an executive ses-
sion or caucus, for the purpose of
privately discussing ways and
means-but we incline to the opin-
ion that all legitimate and neces-
ssry measures can just as well be
discussed in public. What is more
ridiculous than for set of men to
solemnly meet in secret to deter
mine question of public good, and
then to gravely advertise to the
world what they did while SO mys-
teriously hid from prying eyes?
Grips and pass words, signs and
signals! Faugh, what child's play!
In other words, we hold that the
executive session, Legislative caucus,
society conclave, and all secret
cabals and intrigues are contrary
to reason and common sense, and
are only the relics of barbarous
age. Whatever is right and prop
er, whatever is pure and good, will
bear the light of open day, the in

THE FORGE BY THE FOREST.

It stands half hidden in the grcenwood's edge,
Its music greets the dawn that glimmers
white,
Before the sunbeams chase away the night,
Or the first warbler twitters in the sedge;
All day the anvil rings beneath the sledge,
The forge fires roar and CLEAN with ruddy
light
TIL crimson sunset crowns the distant
height,
And all its fringes fade along the ledge.
Then, though the whispering leaves above 1t
bend,
And night birds call, and moonbeams round
it play,
The voices of the smithy die away.
When in the dusk the evening dews descend,
In silent slumber all it's labors end
Its music mute, its ashes cold and gray.
