Il TIMELY PRO TEST.

Speaking Of the libelous utter
ances of President Roosevelt,
recently given pu blicity through
out the South, the New Orleans
States concludes Il very able
editorial with the following
forceful expressions:
TT is high time that Southern
people should cease to assist in
the circulation of books which
treat them with contempt, and
misrepresent and slander their
purest and ablest men. 1t is
time for Southern scholars and
students to enter more exten-
sively into the field of history and
biographywriting, to the end
that truth may be rescued from
those who would ravish her, and
that the lives and the records,
public and private, of our states
men and leaders may be cor
rectly portrayed for the benefit
of succeeding generations. When
this becomes the case the little
brood Of scribblers and ibelers
who profit by peddling their
mendacious wares to a perverted
taste that Graves such things
will disappear forever, and Truth
shall be enthroned.
This protest from the States
appeals with irresistible force tC
every Southerner who refuses tc
be carried away by the wave OF
sordid commercialism which is
making itself felt even in the
South, sweeping before it every
consideration which does not

4 NE W RAILROAD.

If newspaper reports are to
be believed the Houston, Beau
mont and New Orleans railroad
will be built within the next two
wears. Several routes have been
mentioned but none seems to
have been decided upon.
Wouldn't it be possible to have
the new road strike this town:
1t is surely worth the attention
of this community. The Gazette
suggests that the Business
Mems Association take up the
matter at once and see what can
be done We will gain nothing
by supine Indifference, while
by making an intelligent effort
in the proper direction we may
accomplish a great deal. 1t may
be that action in this matter will
fail to secure this particular
road, but it can only result in
calling attention to this rapidly
growing section of the State.
Our business men should make
stir Beside this projected
road there are other things that
may be gotten for Lafayette.

ONE HE no Il r Il TINE.

It has been the irony of Fun
ston's fate to be abruptly told
by President Roosevelt to keep
his dammouth shut. The Kan
sas wind jammer is, after Teddy
himself. the most brilliant
apostle of the strenuous life,
which means not only to be
strenuous in war but to be for
ever talking in peace. And
there is something strangely
humorous in the fact that Teddy
should be called upon to officially
muzzle Funston, who has done
no greater harm than to follow
in the footsteps of his chief.
After his own spectacular per-
fOrmance at San Juan President
Roosevelt came home, seated
himself in the centre of the
stage, turned on the flash lights
and exposed himself to the ad-
miring gaze of the thOughtless
multitude. He not only knew
how to be hero, but he knew
how to herOize. Funston went
to the Philippines, won imperish-
able fame by swimming across a
small bayou and bagging Agui-
naldo. He, too, came home, but
ere he had fairly begun to tell
his countrymen how he had at
tanned to proud eminence
among the immortals. his dreams
of future greatness are rudely
shattered by message from his
chief who tells him in vigorous
English that the business of the
soldier is to fight, not talk.
President Roosevelt evidently
believes that this country can
take care of only one hero at a
time land that's him

SCHOOLS.
IN

A recent decision of the Su-
preme Court of this State, in a
case appealed from the parish of
ST. Landry. is of vital impor-
tance to the public school system
in this State. Citizens of the
fourth ward of ST. Landry insti
tuted suit in the District
Court of that parish to prevent
the School Board from apprO-
priating money out of the gen
eral funds to defray the expen-
ses incurred by the High Schools
at Opelousas and Washington.
The plaintiffs contended that
the revenues had to be appOr-
toned to the various wards ac-
cOrding to the number of educa-
BILE children" in these wards and
that the Board was without au-
thority 'to appropriate any
money to the High Schools other
than the funds apportioned to
the ward in which the High
SCHOOLS are lOCttUeu.
The District Court upheld the
contention of the citizens of the
fourth ward of ST. Landry, being
of the opinion that the school
funds had to be appOrtioned
among the several wards, and
that each ward was called upon
to supply the money to support
all the schools located within its
limits-the High Schools not ex-
cepted. The ST. Landry School
Board, through it's attorneys,
| Messrs. E. b. DubuissOn and
Lee Garland, carried the case to
the Supreme Court, which tri-
bunal has reversed the Judgment
of the District Court giving to
the parish boards the power to
draw upon the general funds for
the maintenance of High Schools.
The following is the syllabus of
the Judgment of the Supreme
Court on this question.
THE law, as contained in sec
tions and 10 of act 1S of 1888, is
to be construed as meaning, that
the Parish Board of School Di-
rectors shall distribute the school
funds to the several districts in
their respective parishes rata bly,
in prOpotiOn to the number OF
persons in such districts be-
tween the ages of six and eigh-
teen years: provided, such
boards, with the sanction of the
State Board of Education, and
when suitable sites and build.
ingS have been otherwise sup
piled, may establish such central
or high schools as may be neces-
sary and, for their mainten
ance, may draw upon the gen
eral schools funds before appOr-
tioning the same to the several
districts.
The law as to the distribution
of the school funds among the
various wards, based upon the
mum Der of children of educable
age, is not abrogated. The
courts decision merely author
ICES the Board to appropr late
out of the general funds, before
the distribution is made, the
amounts necessary to maintain
the High Schools. We infer
from this construction of the
law that High School is con
sidered as parish institution
High Schools, are as a rule, pa
tronized by the children of thu
whole parish, and they shoult
not be treated in the same man
ner that primary or ward school:
are. The st. Landry Board ha'
done well to settle this matter
which is of the greatest impor
tance to the educational interest:
of the State.

THE PUBL/C SCHOOLS FOR
THE POOR.
We know several heavy tax
payers who favor the school tax
and yet they have no children to
educate. Why are they willing
to pay tax from which they
will derive no immediate bene-
fits. If we could search beneath
their coats we would find hearts
as big as lowland watermelons-
men who love their kind, and
while they cannot enjoy a thing
themselves would love to see
others do so. AS the campaign
progresses we will give to the
public the names of these gen
tlemen which will prove that
they have no pecuniary inter-
ests at stake and are acting the
parts of philanthrOpistS. -
Marksville Blade.
1t is fact that among the Op-
ponents of every proposition to
levy a special school tax are to
be found many persons who own
very little OF no property. At
the election recently held in this
town the results showed that
there were, proportionately,
more votes cast against the
school tax by people whose
taxes amount to very little, than
by those who have larger sums
to pay. AS the poor man is less
able to do without good public
schools than his rich neighbor,
this fact is, to say the least, very
| strange. Yet it is not an un-
common thing to see poor man
with a house filed with children
moving heaven and earth in an
effort to defeat a school tax,
when he knows that the public
school alone offers his sons and
daughters an opportunity to Sc
cure an education. The school
tax is paid by people who have
no children to educate and by
railroad companies and other
non resident corporations. If
these, who are not the direct
beneficiaries of the system, op-
posed the public schools, they
would merely betray brutal
SelfShneSS and show that they
are totally devoid of civic pride,
but the poor man with children
to educate who votes against a
school tax is inconceivably blind
to his own interests and shame
fully neglectful of his duties.
Thomas Jefferson, the greatest
exponent of Republican princi-
pies that ever lived in any age
and in any country, was a be-
lever in universal education at
the public cost. In the words
which follow the Sage of Mon
ticello gives characteristic ex-
preston to his views on the sub
ject. He said:
THE object is to bring into ac.
tiOn that mass of talents which
lies buried in poverty in every
country for want of the means OF
development, and this gives ac
tivity to mass of mind which
in proportion to our population
shall be the double or treble OF
what it is in most countries.
Who, then, are more inter.
ested in public education than
the people who have not the
means to send their children tc
the universities to be educated:
Jefferson had an abiding faith in
the virtue and good sense of the
masses and he believed that all
that was necessary to insure the
permanence of the republic was
a system of free schools which
made the school-house accessible
to every child in the land. With
prophetic vision he said that the
public school would bring into
action that mass of talents
which lies buried in poverty ,
How well the history of this
country has verified these words
