EDUCA TON.

The value of schools to com
munity can not be overestimated
They raise the standard of intel
ligence and are tie sturdy foes of ig-
norance. They elevate the standard
of morality and decrease crime.
They reform and civilize. They
develop the spiritual and intellectual
part of man, they form a rig er
society to which culture is tine open
sesame and thus rouse the commu-
nifty as whole to nobler apprecia-
ton of life. They widen the field
of amusement by creating an inter
est in standard and interesting books.
They bring the com munity in touch
with the world by elevating it to
tastes in common with the best part
of the world. Tney draw from their
neighboring communities by offering
a healthful atmosphere to their
children. They increase the impor-
lance of the town or parish by giving
it a name for culture abroad. They
broaden the mind, and make the
community liberal and progressive.
They are the promoters of progress
and advancement and disseminate
those principles. In short, they re-
present high plain of morality, cul-
ture and refinement, and are the
test of q community's status.

One would think that the rich
and idle ofoour country would be
the ones who most literally pa
tronize the deep writer's and think
ers; that among them are to be
found the most appreciative readers
and admirers of our great scientists,
philosophers, and spectators; but
facts prove thecontrary to be thecase.
The opulent classes made indolent
physically for need ofsome necessary
occupation become equally as in
dolent mentally. AS result, in
stead of having the needful vigor of
mind for grasping serious subjects,
they have degenerated so that only
trifiing and highly sensational men
tai pabulum can be relished. They
are the great patrons of the novel
and are more or less responsible for
the trashy literature of today. Then
where must we look for readers of
thinkers and scientists9 for it is a
fact that such facts have large sale.
A careful Investigation made by in
terested parties has disclosed the
fact that they are read mostly by
the working classes; by clerks,
bricklayers, carpententers, and such
who toll for daily living.

If reports in the papers are correct
the income tax will pass the Senate.
Most of the Democrats favor it
While the Western Republicans have
expressed their intention to vote to
retain the income amendment and
then vote against the bill as whole,
because the people in the States
which they represent are very much
in favor of its passage. It may be
class legislation, but it has the rare
merit Of being in favor of the poorer
class.

refuse to convict. Like our own

THE CHANCES FOR SUGAR

| THE CHANCES FOR SUGAR
1t is a pretty difficult matter to say
| how sugar will fare in the Senate
One day dipatches from Washington
are very encouraging to those inter
ested in this industry and the next
day the wires bring contradiction
of these reports. What will be the
outcome no one can tell. Our
Senators are making brave fight
and insist upon a reasonable duty;
if they fail to obtain this, they have
announced their intention to vote
again inst Wilson bill. We give below
the Picayune's Washington CORE
spondence of February Is: ''The
press reports sent out tonight con-
corning sugar are unfavorabie, but
with the exception of the inaction of
the senate sub committee on the
subject of the sugar duty, nothing
has occurred to change the situa-
ton for the worse. The committee
members are very reticent, even
with the other senator's, and nobody
seems to know exactly what they are
doing with the tariff bill Most of
the statements in the newspapers as
to the subcommittee proceedings
are conjectural in their nature. The
Louisiana senators had not heard
any unfavorable news to-day. AS
far as can be learned the committee
have not. come to a decision on the
sugar question.
''The sugar planters delegation
may remain several days longer.
They thoroughly discussed the ques-
ton OF = sugar schedule at the con-
ference held last night with Senators
White and Caffel.y, and the latter
will be in a position to submit
schedule if one is called for by the
on the tariff bill.
The committee has not yet asked
for a schedule
eff it should be determined by the
finance committee to leave sugar on
the free list, then they will have to
find way to pass the bill without
the aid of the Louisiana senators
and the other senators who may
stand with them. This is likely to
prove more difficult problem than
the sugar question.

We are reliably informed that in

mention this fact simply to show
that we are not the only ones who

authorities had done all in their
power to have good roads, but
had failed.
Thousands of men can make
good roads in their minds, but it
requires practical craftsmanship to
suggest change which the people
can be made to try, and which will
produce beneficial results.
There are no better roads in the
world than the roads of Lafayette

rainy weather sets in they become

The appointment Of Mr.. Henry
c. Miller to the vacancy on the
supreme bench Of the State, made
by the governor yesterday is most
admirable one. A man Of . high
order Of intellect and sterling integ-
rity, lawyer Of learning and ability,
. deep thinker and logical reasoner
and : courtly and polished gentle
man, Mr.. Miller win make the ideal
judge. especially of the court Of last
resort.
The appointment is commendable,
not only on account of the fitness of
it, but also because it is not the result
of any barter and dicker, not the
fruit of Wild scramble for place.
It was not obtained by the use of
any outside influence, nor procured
by the means of petition carried
out by personal friends and signed
by people, into whose faces they
we're thrust, because they feared to
refuse. or to get rid of the applicant.
It is an appointment made on the
lines that judicial appointments
should be-without regard to cam
paign services or personal .obliga-
tons, but with an eye single to the
good of the State and the maintain
ance of the integrity of the bench.
The governor is to be congratulated
upon a selection worthy of the place;
Mr.. Miller is to be congratulated
upon a proper recognition of his
character an ability, and the people
are to be congratulated upon their
acquisition of an officer in every
way fitted for his position. who will
discharge its duties both in spirit
and in letter.
