done more than that by casting
reproach upon the party it was
appointed to represent.
The Gazette does not know il
Mr.. Garland, or Mr.. Blackman.
or Mr.. PujO, was nominated in
the seventh district. or rather
which two among them were
chosen at the first primary,
but it does know that according
to all the principles of law and
equity Mr.. Garland was entitled
to that fair and full hearing
which was arbitrarily and
tyrannically denied him.
Not enough time, we are told,
to conduct an investigation into
the charges Of fraud! Far
better it would have been for
the seventh district to have been
unrepresented in the halls of Con-
gress than to have a representa-
tive whose title will be tainted
with dishonesty.

An Idea That Paws.

Southern Education Notes.
Along with some very austere
religion, bigotry and supersti-
ton, the Puritan landed, in 1920,
with the free school idea firmly
fixed in his head, says the
Chattanooga Times. One of the
first things the Massachu sets
colony did after being assured
that it was not to perish from
starvation, was the opening of a
free school, backed by com
pulsory attendance thereon of
every child between the ages of
16 and 10 years. This idea:
was too much for the savage
climate and more savage natives:
too much for the stony batter
soil; too much for all the vices
and errors of the colonists. 1t
has been the chief factor in
making Massachusetts,, Con.
necticut and Rhode Island the
richest communities in the world,
proportionally to their popula.
ton.
The idea was carried west
ward steadily, as the sturdy
Yankees pressed back the red
savages and won the west, .

suit of it is that the population

RIGHT 10 APPO/NZ
DEL TIES.

We note that in some parishes
the executive committees have
arrogated to themselves the
power Of appointing delegates to
nominating conventions. 1t is
inconceivable to as how an exc
cutive committee can presume
to possess this power. 1t has
no more right to select delegates
to nominating convention than
the Sultan of Sulu. Executive
committees are authorized to
devise ways and means to choose
delegates, but they are without
authority to make the selection
themselves. If they have the
right to select delegates, they
have the right to nominate, and
if they have the right to nom
mate, they are the absO-
lutte masters of the people. It is
surprising that men of inte]li-
gence, who understand their
duties and powers as members
of an executive committee,
should lend their aid and give
their sanction to methods so
clearly undemocratic.
The Gazette is pleased to see
that the executive committee of
Lafayette parish did not exceed
it's powers in the selection of
delegates. 1t provided for their
election by a mass meeting,
showing that it had neither the
desire nor inclination to exercise
powers which were not dele
gated to it by the Democrats
of the parish.
No free government has ever
found any adequate means of
universal education except in
free public schools, open to all,
supported by the taxes of all it's
citizens, where every child re-

Children Need Expression

Children Need Expression.
Ebert Hubbard.
There is no more preposterous
admonition than that which has
been dinged into the ears of in
nocence for centuries, 'Children
should be seen and not heard. ="
The healthy. active child is full
of impressions, and that he
should express himself is just as
natural as for bird to sing. 1t
is natures way of giving growth
no one knows thing for sure
until he tells it to some one else.
We deepen impression by re-
counting them, and to habitually
suppress and repress the child
when he wants to tell the curious
things he has seen, is to display
two-by-four acumen.

THE PR/NARY Nv THE
Sc ZENITH DISTRICT

like to see honest elections in this
State will find little to commend
and much to condemn in the &C
ton of the committee which met
at Crowley last Tuesday to can
vass the returns of the first pri-
mary held in the seventh district
to nominate a Democratic can
didate for Congress.
Mr.. r. L. Garland. one of the
candidates, alleged that fragrant
frauds had been committed in
Calcasieu and Grant, and asked
that Il short time be allowed him
to investigate the election in
those parishes for the purpose
of proving his case. With the
exception of Messrs. Pugh and
Dubuisson the committee voted
to deny Mr.. Garland the time
required to subStantiate the
charges of fraud which he had
made.
The committee stood upon d
technical Interpretation of one
of it's rules and refused to grant
to Mr.. Garland the poor pri-
vilege of showing that he had
been robbed. Though conscious
of the fact that Mr.. Garland
could not have prepared his
case, the com mittee told him
that he would not be accorded
any further time, and that he
would have to make his contest
right there and then.
Those who know any
thing about elections need not
be told that it was a physical
impossibility for Mr.. Garland to
have investigated the primary
in Calcasieu and Grant before
the meeting of the com mittee
and to have secured the evidence
necessary to support the charges
of fraud, if fraud was committed.
To deny him the time to investi-
gate was to deprive him OF the
right to contest. To deny him
the right to contest was to per-
perate an outrage. 1t was an
act of tyranny which should not
be tolerated by people who are
supposed to live under Republi-
can institutions.
If there was fraud in Calcasieu
and Grant it should have been
exposed. It was the duty of the
committee to do that. If there
was no fraud the honest elector-
ate of those parishes should
have been exculpated from that
imputation.
But there was fraud-tO what
extent we do not know. The
committee would not permit
that to be known.
The throwing out of a consid-
cradle number of votes in each
parish shows that there was
fraud: that Mr.. Garland's con-
test was not a frivolous one and
that an investigation might have
brought out enough illegal votes
to change the result of the pri-
mary.
But fraud or no fraud, allega-
tons of fraud made by sane and
serious men should at least be
deemed of sufficient importance
to be looked into. Instead of
preventing full investigation
and throwing every technical
impeachment in Mr.. Garland s
way when he was introducing
the proof which he had obtained
in the inadequate time allotted
i'm, the committee, if it cared
to be fair and Democratic, should
have taken every available meas
ure to investigate thoroughly
every charge made by the con-
testant, whether specifically
alleged or not. Innocent men
do not have to hide behind legal
technicalities.
AS Democratic journal OF
this State, The Gazette believes
that the committee in the seventh
district has committed a grievous
wrong. That committee has
done a rank Injustice to Mr..

Justice of the Peace p. r. Harrison
Wedne Law afternoon tried his first case
since his appointment by the County
Court to that flee.
Samuel Tobin. a young country boy
who was arrested for being drunk and
dIsorderly on the streets. was taken
before him for a hearing. The bov
was arrested by Policeman McBee
but on account of the Mayor belng
family physician for the Tobin fami-
ly he did not consider himself the
right one to try the case. Conse-
quently the prisoner was taken before
Justice Harrison.
There were two charges preferred
against the young countryman, one of
being drunk and disorderly on the
streets and the other of carrying re-
volver. For the first named offense
he was fined 81 and costs, which he
paid. 1t was proven he had brought
the revolver to tow to have 1T re-
paired and that he had no cartridges
with it. The charge OF carrying a
concealed weapon was therefore dis
missed.
All the old papers and documents
were removed from the old office
into the office of the new magistrate
Thursday. Mr.. Harrison Will.
however, in no way allow his new du-
ties to interfere with his insurance
business, which will be conducted IN
the same office as heretofore.
