authority would coolly admit that
90 d,ssspusable . bargain had been
made between the Representatives Of
the g. A. r. and the Mckinley adj
ministraeion. Il was . plain case
of ''give us pension money aud will
give you votes"
Nine hundred and ninety six
thousand persons are now receiving
pensions because of disability al
legged to have been caused by the civil
war. When Commissioner Evans
took charge of the department
there were pending 63s,o 900 unad-
Indicated claims. Because Mr..
Evans has considered it his duty to
investigate some of these claims
the Grand Army would have the
people believe that he il an enemy
Of the soldier. Mr.. Evans 10 .
friend of the real veteran, but
he is not in favor of plunderiug the
public treasury in the interest of
fraudulen. claimants. Were the
635. applicants added, tn.
pension roll would exceed one
million aud half. Is it possible
that thirty-six years after the war
there are $4,000 Union soldiers
disabled o" account Of injuries sus-
tanned during that war?
Commissioner Evans, being a
man Of character. still refuses tn
lend his aid To the infamous pension
steal and of course he viii have to
make wav for q plant and un-
scrupuIous tool of the pension
grabbers. Il 10 safe to say that
he will be given another Office ir
the govern service where his
honesty and backbone will not in
terfere with free and unrestricted
distribution of the spoils among the
favorites and pets of the Republican
administration.

GEN. .S/CKLES AND THE
PENSIONS.

The recent controversy about the
pension bureau has placed the c..
A. r. in most unenviable position.
Gen. Slckles, who champions the
cause of all who claim to have been
Union soldiers, has just made the
announcement that the ousting of
Evans was one of McKinley's ante
election promises. Evans long
since incurred the mortal enmity of
the G. A. r. by refusing to become
party in the scheme of footing
the treasury. He has never op-
posed the payment of honest pen
sions, but he emphatically refused
to Perpetuate the gigantic fraud
which has been practiced on long
suffering public in the name of pa
triotism. Evans is a veteran of the
Union army and there is no reason
TO believe that he would deny a
pension to any one deserving of it.
But as is well-known the G. A. r.
has been used as a political ma
chine, and the moment that the
pension commissioner failed to do
its bidding his decapitation was de-
cided upon among the leaders Of
the grand old party of moral
ideas" General Sickles says thous-
ands Of the Union soldiers would
have voted against the Republican
ticket if Evans removal had not
been one Of the conditions of the
trade. II is not 10 be supposed
that General Sickles' announcement
ssurprised any one because 1t dis
closed anything new, but il was not
70 be expected than one 50 high in
The Lafayette gazette. [volume] (Lafayette, La.) 1893-1921, 1901-07-13

for what it has already done and
urged TO keep up the good work.
II the efforts Of the authorities are
seconded oy the people, who alone
can make them effective. they will
be fruitful of good resul,s-and
these will not be long in making
themselves felt throughout the
parish.
The Lafayette gazette. [volume] (Lafayette, La.) 1893-1921, 1901-07-13
THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS


School Board of Lafayette parish
acted wisely IN electing a trained
school man as superintendent.
This paper has always commended
that the educational interests of
this parish required an Efficient,
energetic superintendent. We have
every reason to believe that in
the person of Prof. Alleman a man
has been found with the qualifica-
tons to properly perform the
duties of this very important office.
Prof. AIleman is graduate of
the Brothers College of Memphis,
Tenn, and holds a diploma from
the State Normal School. He has
filled with signal success the
princ,palship of the CenterviIle
High School. He comes to La
fayette with the strongest endorse
ments Of prominent educators Of
this State. The splendid recon-
mendation of President Caldwell of
the State Normal alone should give
the people Of Lafayette every as
surance that the Board has made no
mistake in the selection of the new
superintendent.
The action of the School Board
should give new lite to the cause of
public education in this parish. 1t
should be the signal for a general
awakening of the people to the ur-
gent necessity of better schools.
AS we have often said in the past
a live, competent superintendent
can do a great deal in the way of
stimulating an interest among the
people which will result in improved
educational facilities. But in or
der to do that we'll, he must have
the strong moral support of a united
community.
Every person who has at heart
the welfare of the youth of the par
ish should join hands with the su-
in the work which it
will be his duty and pleasure to do.
There is much to be done and how
we'll it will be done will depend in a
great measure upon the intelligent
and generous cooperation of the
people. One has but to look at the
in the town of La
fayette and the different wards of
the parish to know that there has
been objectionable neglect and in
on the part of the author
tiles, teachers and patrons. The
of some of the school
houses can not fail to create the i'm
preston on the mind of the stranger
that the people of this section care
less for their school-house than they
do for their barns. The badly
charred fence around the LAFAYETTE
High School building Is enough to
give sore-eyes to the pupils. 1t is
more in sorrow than in a spirit of
fault finding that we speak of these
things. We refer to them in the
hope that remedial measures will be
adopted. A little plain talk is in
dulged in not to censure any one,
but to call attention to the necessi
ties of the future.
The Board mas made good start.
One of its initial moves was to
cause general examination of
teachers. That was followed by the
election Of a trained superintendent
