! The Clarion says eff the DEMOCRAT
| proceeds to drive the negroes out of the
| Parish, the Clarion will not intcrfcrc.' y
! Probably not and it is very likely that
! the Clarions writer, whose identity is
concealed, did not interfere when they
were being prosecuted and driven out
some years ago. But just why The DEM
oCRAT should be placed in the attitude
of ono who is contemplating driving
/ the negroes out of the parish is not
apparent. This is merely tinessc of
tho Ciarion-a .fneysc cousuc dc i'll blanc,
at that-for, surely, our protest against
allowing colorod people to use tho Social
Club hall is no indication that we are
thinking of driving the negroes OUT
or that we would not protest rs strongly
against driving them out as VIC did
some years ago. This disposition Oh
the part of the Clarion to place people
in false position is hardly fair or hon
est, but we regret to say that tho CIa-
rion sometimes makes IL striking maui-
festation of it.

for a convention of farmers to meet in
New Orleans on the same day az the

state edifice.
Mr. Taft often blocks out an idea on
paper and leaves Miss Bracken TO carry
it on alone, often to completion. The
Sleeping Flora, the central figure in
Mr. Taft's group for the horticultural
building, is entirely the work Of Miss
Brackens chisel.
In addition to the work accredited to
Miss Bracken personally and which has
been performed by her own dett and
ingenious fingers, there are many other
large figures IN the Illinois building for
which she has furnished the designs,
leaving the work to the young women
who are still in the students room
Although Miss Bracken still remains
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. to Mr.. Taft, her mas
ter, people in general realize that she
is perfectly competent to conduct
studio on her own responsibility Her
conscientious and painstaking work
won the merited reward OF success, and
her genius is now established beyond
the possibility of doubt. 1t seems i'm
possible that such virile work should
come from the delicate hand Of this
slight retiring girl of twenty-one. II
is but another instance of the power Of
indomitable will and persevering
energy. ILLUSTRATED American.
