Church and State.

Daily States
France has had perhaps more than her
share of :he confusion and disorders result
ing from too close contact between the
! church and the State. At the time of the
revolution the abuses growing out of such Il
union led to a violent reac,ionary movement,
in which the power of the church
thrown, many of the religious orders
expelled and their property conliscated. and
for time infdelity reigned supreme.
Gradually the Prejudices against the religious
orders we're partially removed and the
church regained much of the influence pre-
vously lost, although at intervals drastic
measures proposed and some times enacted
into law have shown the latent ircjudices
that needed only some overt act to fan them
into flame Of something like the old time
intensity.
The recen: ministerial order closing
tain of the religious schools, which order
was approved by President Loubet, has
served to show the intensity of feeling
tertancd by the clericals and anti-clericals,
and violent expressions from eminent part-
sans on both sides indicate the volcanic con-
dtions now regnant in the French Republic.
So fierce was the storm of opposition aroused
by the recent order closing the clerical
schools that riots have occurred in many
places in France, and the president himself
is represented having retired Ram
bouillet to await the blowing of the
storm of public indignation. Sunday is
usually the great day for public demonstra-
tions of a political character in Paris, and the
authorities feared much violence yesterday;
but while great crowds gathered in the Place
de la Concorde and the Champs Elysee, the
demonstrations were comparatively harm
less and no dangerous outbreaks occurred.
While the clerical party is strong, yet the
supporters of the government are numerous
and powerful, and revolutions do not ap

In this country the widest latitude given
to religious schools of every character, and
they are supported by many of our best peo
pie. They have never been considered as
constituting menace to popular govern
ment, but, on the contrary, they have turned

Christ has been the most potent
influence in the emancipation of
the human race and though fully
cognizant OF the fact that it is
the most sublime system of
morality known to man, would it
be wise to Introduce biblical in
struction as part of the currirs
culum of our public schools?
If there is to be IA recognition
of the Bible in our public schools
by whom it is to be interpreted?
Would not the settlement of this
question expose the public school
system to the fierce contentious
of the various creedS? Which
creed would be willing to yield
to the superior wisdom of the
other in the Interpretation OF the
Bible? While the good book is
the fountain of inspiration of all
the Christian churches, are
there two sects which agree
upon it's meaning? Would the
Catholic parent desire his child
to be taught the Bible by a
Protestant teacher, on would a
Protestant parent permit his
child to learn his Bible lessons
from Catholic? We think not.
The public schools are sup
ported mainly by money col
lected from all the people, ire
spective OF religious beliefs. The
Jew pays his share of the taxes,
and though he be in the minority
he is entitled to just as much
consideration at the hands of
the Sta te. To teach the bible
in the public schools is to
discriminate against him.
The growth of the public
school system of this country
would not have been possible
acter It's success has been
principally the result of that
broad spirit of religious tolerance
embodied in the divorce of
church and State.

There are wise and solemn men,
says the New York Sun, who
disbelieve in what is called Luck,
swear that there isn't any such
thing, and teach their young that
success is due to virtue and
industry alone. Now, last week
gas and oil company was put
ting down a test well in Ohio.
What was struck? O, nothing
but gold and coal. We don't say
there was any Luck about the
matter, but it is curious how
some folks find things and how
the treasures in the bowels of the
earth rush out at 'em. For
example, Col. Jim Guffey of
Pennsylvania and various other
States. He was prospecting for
zinc in Arkansas last winter. One

prise and pleasure to find coal.

The Passing OF the Horse Fly.

Cleveland Plain Dealer.
"Some writer says he feels
awfully sorry for the poor horse
fly. What is he to do when
there are only automobiles?
What can a horse fly get off an
automobile? Varnish only. And
the writer says varnish is
disappointing in the beginning,
and deadly in the end. 1t does
seem too bad, doesn't it,"
TT does. Poor old horse fly,
But I suppose somebody will
be moved to do something
for the unfortunate wretches.
Think of a Home for INDECENT
Horse Flies. Perhaps one of
our big hearted millionaires
will establish park for them,
and save from extinction a few
equine examples for them to
feast upon. If the horse fly is
doomed his exit should be made
as easy and comfortable as
poSsible.'

MR. .4ZLE.N4 VS. REPORT

MR. AZZE.NAV'.S REPORE !
In last Saturdays issue The
Gazette published Supt. Ale
mans report to the School
Board of this parish. There is
much in this report to interest
and to please the friends of pub
lie education. 1t shows, at Il
glance, what has already been ac-
complished by the Board, aided
by a man trained in his profess
sion and devoted to his work.
The superintendent cOmpli-
ments the school directors upon
the enlightened policy which
they have adopted and pursued
with commendable energy. The
Gazette wishes to add it's own
Fluctuations to those of the
superintendent.
The School Board has done
we'll. 1t has accomplished an
unusually large amount of good
in SO short time Though
handicapped by inadequate
funds and certain local condi-
tiOns which had to met in a way
to avoid friction, the school au
| thOrities have gone about their
work in a cautious, but effective
manner. Wherever practicable
reforms have been inaugurated
and accomplished.
Supt. Alleman suggests d
change, the adoption of which in
an amended form, insures to
every ward in the parish a cen
trail graded school. The estab-
lishment of these schools, under
good teachers, will no doubt
greatly improve the free school
system of the parish. It is now
up to the citizens of the various
wards to give their support to
these schools. Such an oppOr-
tunity has never before been Of
fered to the children of the par
ish. Heretofore the privilege of
attending graded school has
been the exclusive property of
children living in the larger
| towns and has been denied the
girls and boys who have their
homes in the rural districts
Supt. Alleman and the Board
have acted most wisely in this
matter and their action will
doubtless meet with the hearty
endorsement of their cOnstitu-
ents. Let us hope that the open
ing of these graded schools will
prove an incentive to the people
to send their children to school.
The statistical report published
in this issue by Mr. Alleman
shows that the people in certain
sections Of the parish have dis
played most lamentable indif-
ference to the education of their
children. OF course if an ele-
ment of the population are deter
mined that their children should
grow up in ignorance, the efforts
of the Board will prove but par
TALLY successful. The people
must be made to understand
that great deal depends upon
them. The parent who refuses
to send his child to school when
the State offers him the oppor-
tunity. is a criminal We know
of no other word to fifty describe
his moral status.
Supt. A]leman and the School
Board have made a splendid be-
ginning. Judging from what
they have already done, we have
reason to expect great things of
them.

The Summer School of the
South, which has been in ses-

posed of the most eminent edu-
Gators of the Southern States.
The recent number of Southern
Education Notes contains the de-
claration Of principles adopted
by this notable assem- bly, Of
schoo1men. AS was to be ex-
pected in an expression ema
mating from so distinguished a
body of thinkers and workers
the declaration of principles,
which we publish elsewhere in
this paper, represents the ripest
scholarship and best thought of
Southern educators. But if we
interpret it correctly the follow
ing paragraph, which forms part
of the declaration of principles,
may occasion some surprise
among the advocates of free edu-
cation, who, despite their own
faith in revealed religion, be-
lieve it unwise to hamper the
public school system with sec
tarianism. This paragraph reads
3. Conscious of our depend
ence upon the God of our fathers,
and believing that the highest
and truest civilization can be at
tanned only by following the pre-
cepts of the great teacher, Jesus
Christ, we favor the recognition
of the Bible in our public

In a letter to The Picayune
Nellie A. Murray, colored
woman, complains of the separ-

on this letter The Picayune says:
1T is d humiliation to Mrs. Muir
ray and others of her class to
feel that she must ride behind a
screen on the street cars, un-
der the operation of the new law.
Here comes up the idea that the
partition should be real-parti-
ton, and not a wire screen
through which passengers may
There should be no such pOSsi-
bility as the idea of being seen
through a screen seems particu-
larly offensive to respectable col

While The Gazette has no de-
sire to meddle with the affairs of

a screen should be more Objec-

If wire screen gives the negro
passengers the appearance of
being in a cage, are not the
white people who are riding on
the other side of the screen sub

We are not able to see why a
Wire-screen conveys the idea of
a cage in the case of a negro and
not in the case of white person.
Of course the kind of partition
used in the New Orleans cars is
clearly not our funeral and con-

that it is absolutely impossible

JENNINGS ENTERPRISE.

visit the town of Jennings re-
Gently. While in that progress
sive town he was able to see the
many evidences of progress for
which that community is noted.
Jennings does not possess the
natural advantages enjoyed by
Lafayette, New Iberia and ST.
Martinville, but in many respects
it is far ahead of any one of
these towns. Long before the
discovery of Oil in that section
Jennings earned an enviable
place among the leading towns
of the State. A people less en-
terprising would not have found
it possible to build so attractive
a town in a country adapted to
the cultivation of only one crop,
and which, before the finding of
Oil, could not be said to be rich
a spirit of enterprise which never
yielded to adverse conditions
and would not rest until it com
manded success, the people of
Jennings worked hard and in
telligently and built one of the
best towns in the State. When
the question Of oil was agitated
the business men of Jennings
looked beyond the temporary
benefits to be derived from wild
cat speculatiOnS, but set earn
est1y to work to develop the oil
field which promised the greatest
returns to Jennings and whose
successful exploitation guaran
teed the future of that town.
They invested in their local COM
panies with the determination
to bring out the oil if it was
there. The result of that invest
ment is well-knOwn. Jennings
is now reaping the fruits of it's
energy and public spirit.
The Gazette is not praising the
virtues of Jennings to call atten-
tion to the shortcomings of other
isons, for comparisons are as
odious to communities as they
are to individuals. The Gazette
is merely attempting to show
what Jennings grit and push
have accomplished for the pur-
pose of demonstrating what
other towns with immeaSurably
superior advantages can do by
the application of an equal
amount of grit and push.
Jennings has done more in a
decade than has been accom-
plished by more favored locali-
ties in fifty years. And simply
because 1T has made good use

During the many years of its exist

wholly by the trivial sum of seventy
five dollars a year which is appro-
priated by the town. AT the
present time, however, the conf
