FOR THE HZ/ZERA~
TOZER.

It would he unfortunate if the
bill of Senator Lastie Broussard
failed to become a law. We under
stand that this bill is for the pro-
lection of illiterate voters who have
registered under section FIVE or who
are qualified under the property
clause.
Under the provisions of the pres
ent election law the illiterate voter
is unable to exercise the privilege of
suffrage independently of the en-
blems. Should he be unwilling to
stamp the emblem of any party, he
cannot vote. According to the
suffrage law he is voter and moth
ing should be permitted to hinder
him in the free, independent and
intelligent enjoyment of the privi-
lege to which he is legally entitled.
That the election law should be so
framed as to place an impeachment
in the way of the voter is clearly
anomalous.
Every safeguard should be
thrown around the ballot, but it
should not be of a character to in
terfere with the free and fair ex-
preston of the popular will.
Under the constitution, illiteracy
does not disqualify. for it is pro-
vlded that the man who has prop.
erty. though unable to read and
write, can register, and when he is
registered it is neither just nor
wise to place. obstacles between him
and the ballot. He should be
given every facility to vote as he
chooses. With the present arrange.
ment the illiterate citizen can pre-.
pare his ticket only if he wishes to
vote it straight, for il cannot be
said that one unable to read can
disregard the party emblems in the
of the privilege of voting
We believe Senator Broussa I'd is
right in his efforts to remove ali
obstacles which intervene between
the illiterate voter and the ballot

Room. 1t the Top.

new orleans ffcayune.
A new Aesop has put forth the
following fable. which does not gee
with an encouraging old say ing:
there was once a most studions and
deserving Young Man. He had al
ways absorbed all that his Teachers
and Elder Relatives soli him in the
way of good precept. In that parti-
cular he was impressed by tina, lad
der Business-"There is always
plenty Of room at the Top" etc.
This young man nobly concluded
that he would never loiter on the
crowded Lower Rungs of the Lad
der. In whatever he undertook he
would make himself First Glass. He
| would climb, climb, climb until he
reached the Top. First he went to
work in a Brokers Office. There
he worked assiduously, mastering
all the details, and climbing, climb
ing. He reached the Top, where
he contrived Deal that added an
other Fortune to his employers
bank account. But the young man
was discharged when he limited to
his employer that he was entitled to
Raise of Salary. Then he turned
his attention to Literature. He
wrote a book OF Fiction, in which
he told All he knew about the
Brokerage Business. He made his
former employer, thinly disguised,
the villain of the story. Great sue
cess awaited the book, which sold
with Amazing Rapidly. Thousands
and thousands Of Copies did the
Publisher sell. and the young man
was at the Top of the Ladder of
Fame. But he had sold his book
for small Certainty, and the pub
Usher reaped all of the Profit. Next
the young man turned his mind
upon matters of Invention. He in
vented \ famous and fast-selling
Flour Sitter. 1t proved a gold mine.
Yet somehow the inventor realized
very little money from it; his Part
ner accumulated almost all of the
Lucre to himself. 1t was CONT
nnally thus. The Deserving Young
Man went from venture to venture,
often winning fame, while someone
else made all the money there was
in it. And SO it came about that
his brown curly Locks became
sparse and white. He had been to
the Top of the Ladder many times,
but was as poor as ever. One day
he stood opposite building in
course of construction. There was
Ladder against the side of the
structure. For d dollar a day
Man bore up ard down the ladder
curious-looking wooden cradle at
the end of a stout pole. On top of
the building stood a man waiting
for him who was being paid Four

derstand," cried the young man

the cause of undeserved censure At
the hands Of persons who arc either
ignorant Of the law governing these

Police Juror has taken and the law
relative to the election Of a printer

acted in any other manner without
violating the law which 1t has
sworn to obey.
