er will be the shadow Of pref
udice against the man Botson.
The crime Of which he is accused
@the wanton and cruel murder Of
six persons-is so abhorent. SO
far beyond the pale Of mercy. that
the people Of Calcasieu cannot be
blamed for their determination to
have the life of the murderer. ac-
cording to law, and they are will
ling to wait until the law deter
mines who he is.
II. during the nine months that
have elapsed. a shred Of evidence
had been discovered to implicate
any other man. he would have
been where Batson is now. II it
had bankrupted the parish to do
it, but no such shred has appear
ed. If. on any day since his
arrest. Batson had brought shad-
ow OF proof to break single link
of the chain OF evidence that en-
meshed him, he could have walked
out on the streets without hand
lifted against him; but not link
has been weakened,
In view OF these facts. the Ad-
yocate's fears that anv uud ie' 'odi-
um" may be east upon Batson are
rather silly. II the officers say
that an attempt was made to break
Jail, and that Batson was probably
concerned in it, the Advocate may
be content to accept the fact as
true, but it really matters little
either way. Compared to the
crime with which he is charged.
anything else must appear venial
and trivial.
The American refers to this mat
ter at some length. because Bat
son is going to be tried again in a
few months, and the people OF
Calcasieu have showed such for
bearance and regard for law 50 far
that they have earned the right to
have the verdict, whatever it may
be. accepted as correct. We trust
the Advocate may always be
equally insistent on fair ness" to-
ward people accused Of crime and
equally solicitious that the law taiee
its course. It may help to abo-
lish occurrences which N any peo-
pie regard as stains upon he fair

Tender Sympathy for
BdtSOn.

The Baton Rouge Advocate
which seems to have constituted it
self the defender of Albert Edwin
Batson, late Of Missouri, but more
recently Of Calcasieu parish jail.
tenders the people Of Calcasieua'he
usual scolding for daring to think
that he was concerned in the re-
cent attempt at Jail breaking. It
says:
I'VE think it only fair and just
that the full facts be we'll esta-
blished before an accusation
should be made Of an ate mpt to
break Jail, by man under indict-
ment for murder. Surely the
facts are obtainable. Batson is
held under this grave charge at
Lake Charles. II he made the
attempt to cut his way out Of Jail
he is entitled to the odium Of such
a charge. but it seems cruel injus-
tice to add to his other woes by
laying this charge at his door. un-
less investigation has established
its verify
Really the solicitude Of the Ad-
vocate for the amiable Batson's
reputation and good name is touch
ing. The Advocate worried con-
siderably over the report last
spring that Batson would be lynch
ed-which report turned out to be
totally uniounded. Then it began
to worry over the alleged difficult
ty Of giving him a fair trial. When
he was given every opportunity to
clear himself Of the frightful charge
against him-an opportunity Of
which he availed himself rather
sparingly-and was convicted by a
lair and impartial jury. the Advo-
cate Immediately jumped to the
conclusion that the jury was preju-
diced aud its verdict the result ssi

When men feel that every child
has right to be educated, and
when every child's right becomes
every man S duty, when education
comes to be the first and chiefest
concern Of people, then the door
OF the general public welfare is
thrown wide open. We will not
forget, OF course that better than
heaping up gold is the making Of
men that are finer than gold.

Education Of Great
Importance.
Without It State Discounts Her
Standing.

There are some subjects about
which one can never write or talk
too much. Their importance and
value to the public are so great
that it becomes the duty Of the
press to keep eternally publishing
something about them until their
real importance and value are fully
realized.
No subject is of greater impor-
tance to the people than that OF
education. We may have splendid
railroad facilities but while every
man appreciates conveniences Of
this kind and fully recognizes the
worth Of a GOOD railroad system
no one will deny that good pub
lie school system is far more i'm
portant and of a greater value to
any community. -
Intelligence is the life OF any
neighborhood. Fill up your Sec
ton of the state with a lot of igno-
rance and you could mt be hired
to stay there. for you would be dis
satisfied and unhappy. Let state
neglect the education of her young
people and she discounts her stand
ing in the civilized world. The
days of 'blissful ignorance" are
fast passing away. Today, Ame-
rfca is of such great importance to
the civilized world that it is abso-
lutely necessary for her people to
be endowed with knowledge.
We may boast of our history,
we may refer with pleasure to the
blue blood that courses through
our veins, but we will soon lose
our standing in the sisterhood oi
states il we do not make a better
and more adequate provision for
the education Of our offspring.
We boast Of our public institu.
tions and we have a perfect right
to feel proud Of them, but we sad
ly neglect our public schools.
What We need is we'll organized
public school system, a system SO
we'll organized and managed tina,
the boys and gifls who attend
our public schools may, when they
have completed the prescribed
course Of study. be able to at once
enter a college or university. Ere
