Our Prejudice Against Foster.

Our estimable confrere Of the
Lafayette Gazette seems to be-
lieve that the Messenger is very
strongly prejudiced against Cover
nor Foster, and that idea seems to
pray very much upon the mind OF
our confrere.
Well, Brother Mouton, perhaps
the Messenger has some prejudice
against the Governor, we are not
prepared to say we are not, but we
can assure the able supporter OF
Gov. Foster that we have good and
valid reasons to be prejudiced, and
if such prejudice exist, the Cover
nor is the only person responsible
for it.
Gov. Foster had good friends
and admirers in this parish, inclu-
ding the Messenger, who made a
strong vigorous fight for him when
he needed them the most, but just
as soon as he got into power, what
did your great Governor do. your
angel, your simless and spotless
greatP
Did he, like McEnery, stand by
his friendsP No, he dickered with
the enemy, disregarded his friends
and favored the enemy with the
patronage that was in his power to
bestow. This is an act of unpar.
donable ingratitude that the Mes
senger can never forget, and for
which it will never forgive your
Foster-for ingratitude in oul
estimation, is the lowest of the hu.
man failings.
During the whole term of your
great Governor, Brother Mouton
we cannot recall one good act tina,
he has done to merit our compli
ment and if you we're to try ani
make Q compilation of the goot
acts of Foster as Governor, YOU
would not have enough to gil hal
a colum of your Interesting paper.
We may be prejudioed. but VI
cannot see anything good in Gov
Foster-and much less to meri
our compliment.

In the current speculation touching the
probable length OF the coming session OF
Congress those who predict a short session
base their prediction on two propositions:
ID The business interests of the country
desire short session, and 90 members of
the House ambitious to succeed themselves
Will be anxious to get home and look after
their primaries.
Neither of these propositions is worthy
OF the subject. The second is hardly
worthy of consideration. There are MEM
bers of every House whose mold on their
constituents seems to be SO slight they are
buster at home than the field of duty
here. but the number is small. 1t never de-
termines anything of importance in Con-
gress-never anything as important as the
length of session The next Congress
campaigns will be stirring beyond the Or
binary, but the best election card that any
candidate can play in any contest is to
show record of faithful attention to bust
ness in any office he may have held. or
may be holding.
The first proposition grows out of talk
that Is not so potent to-day as it was few
years ago. President Mckinley referred 70
the matter in his inaugural address, and
declared that he did not sympathize with
see In its sessions a menace at times to
business. And he made good his words by
Calling Congress at once together in extra
session. and Congress at that extra session
justified his confidence by disposing of one
OF the most important business questions III
way highly satisfactory TO all business
interests. Why should Congress in session
be a menace to business interests? What
Is Congress for but to attend to those inter
ests and all other kinds of interests?
The one consideration likely to govern
and worthy to govern the question of the
length of time Congress will sit next year
Is the amount and nature of the business
presented to it. There are numerous aues-
tons OF the first consequence awaiting set
tiement- In the Senate. party divisions are
such that some of these questions cannot
pass beyond he stage of discussion But
there are others upon which by means of
good management acton may be had, and
this action the country has every right to
expect In all probability therefore. when
Congress buckles down to work after the
holidays-it rarely does much before that

The school trustees in their annual re-
port call attention anew to the low rate of
pay established in this District for the pub
lie school teachers, and it makes the sug-
gestive comparison that these hard
worked, faithful and important public
servants receive on an average about the
same sums as those paid TO the messengers
in the government departments. There can
be no comparison between the duties of
the two classes of workers The messen-
gers are worthy of all they get, and in
many cases they should receive more
money. But If the grade of Intelligence
and the degree of responsibility in their
case should be accepted as standards In
measuring pay scales, the school teachers
are shamefully treated On these men and
women a heavy burden rests. On them de-
ponds the formation of much OF the cnarac-
ter OF thousands of children, who under
them not only learn their lessons but ac-
quire habits of thought and study and
Judgment that remain with them through
out their lives. The accountability of the
teacher to society is direct and heavy
Nest teachers realize this fact and their
work stands as evidence of this recognition.
Meanwhile they are required to maintain a
high standard of personal fitness, to con-
unue their studies if they would secure
promotions and are put to heavy expenses
in many directions wholly out of keeping
with the demands upon them and their re-
wards. There Is mis- adjustment here
and a serious one at that. The Distric.
takes justifiable pride in its public school
system and especially so in view of the fact
that for years the teachers have worked on
pay scale wholly out of proportion to
their labors. The high degree of efficiency
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1897-11-17

has been due, in large measure, to the
pride that the teachers themselves have
taken in the results OF their work, but 1t
will not do to depend for all time upon
this spirit, and to the end that the stand
ards of the past and the present be main
tanned Congress should be made to feel the
weight of the duty that now rests upon 1t.
a duty to the teachers, to the District and
to the nation through the example set by
its capital city to the other communities.
The aggregate amount of the increases
suggested by the board of trustees is in
significant when the results sure to flow
from an amendment of the pay scale are
considered.
