Mr.. Bryan thinks that Judge
Walter Clark of North CarOlin a
would make an ideal candidate
because nobody ever heard ofhim
before. According to this
mesure of candidates available
ity there are about eighty mil
lion ideal candidates and only a
score or two like German and
Dave Hill and Francis and Olney
who are worth considering
Crowley Signal.
Conceding that Judge Clark
is not we'll known, his compar
alive obscurity may not be an
element of weakness. Often in
the history of this country
orators and statesmen of
ability and of
great prominence have been
for men unknown
outside the boundaries of their
States. It sometimes happens
that cadidate's availability con-
sists principally in his obscurity.

The local political pot is be-
ginning to boil. Though the
election is nearly a year off.
there are many rumors of COM
binations. While no candidates.
have been publicly announced,
it is pretty well known who will
be the candidates. AS usual the
sheriff's office is the bone of
contention among many political
aspirants, but the opposition to
the present incumbent has not
assumed formidable proportions.
Sheriff Broussard has ample evil
dence of increasing popularity,
and Judging from the many ex-
pressions favorable to his candi-
dacy which have come from the
different parts of the parish it
is safe to say that that his re-
election is reasonably certain.
On the gubernatorial question
the local leaders are saying
nothing and as one expresses it,
They are lying low for black
ducks

Grover Cleveland annual ar
ticle on the subject of catching
fish is out. It is a subject which
he always adorns, soits frequent
repetition is quite pardonable.
The particular point which the
DISTINGUISHED fisherman lays
stress on this time is that we
should limit ourselves to the
number of fish we take on a
favorable day. On no account
should edible fish be caught in
such quantities as to be wasted.
By restraining ourselves in this
matter we discourage in our own
natures the growth of greed, we
prevent waste, we make it easier
for US to bear the fall between
what we may determine upon as
decent good luck and bad luck,
or no luck, and we make our
selves at all points better men
and better fishermen. Fisher
men will please note this, and
curb their aspirations accord
ingly. Daily States.

Booker Washington, according
to the Washington Post, Eek
plains that the negroes seek the
cities to secure better police pro-
lection. Perhaps that is more
convenient than accurate. At
any rate it calls to mind the fact
that not SO long ago he made a
Philadelphia audience laugh by
intim ating that the reason the
negroes find wider field of
labor in the South than in the
North is that the Southern
whites are too lazy to work
themselves. This explanation
also was more convenient than
accurate.-Daily States.

this declaration, talked quite

admitted a racial prejudice

There exists in the world q
race antagonism that no con-
sideration Of right or justice will
overcome. So far as the negro
is concerned the American peo-
pie willingly concede and grant
his personal rights. But in To-
calities where he preponderates
numerically the whites refuse
to submit to his domination po-
litically. This is the universal
experience in the South and
would be in the North were the
negro as much in evidence here
as he is there. Waterloo, ia.

On Thursday, the 18th OF
June. a question of the most
vital Importance will be sub
United to the taxpayers of this
parish. If we are permitted to
base our predictions upon our
knowledge of the people of La.
fayette we have no hesitancy to
say that the question referred
to will be decided in a manner
creditable to the civic pride and
intelligence of the community.
tits proposed to levy a three
mill-tax during six years for the
support of the public schools of
the parish. 1t is needless to say
that not single sound reason
has been advanced to show that
this tax should not be levied.
On the other hand, every reason
able argument has been offered
to establish the business, wis
dom and absolute necessity of
the proposed tax.
Surely none but the hope
lessly blind can fail to see the
need of more and better schools
in this parish. The good work
that has been done here in re-
cent times to improve the school
system has emphasized one fact
above all others-the great,
crying need of superior educa-
tional facilities for the children
of this parish. The well-di-
rected efforts of the local author
tiles, aided by progressive and
patriotic citizens, have not only
been productive of practical re-
suits, but they have served to
bring out the imperfections of
the school system, pointing the
way by which it can be
strengthened, improved and
made to ultimately attain the
highest standard of efficiency.
Is there one white man or
woman in Lafayette parish who
does not want to see his or her
child given the best educational
advantages that money can Sc
cure? Is there one parent in
this good old parish. in whose
veins courses the rich red blood
of the Caucasian, who would
deny to his boy or girl the right
of an education? We hope not.
If there be any who are about to
make this fatal mistake, surely
they have not given the subject
that earnest, thoughtful con-
which it deserves.
It has been shown by irrefuta-
BILE evidence that the schools of
this parish are inadequate, and
that if present conditions re-
main unaltered, hundreds, aye
of white children will
grow up in ignorance, without
even being accorded the poor
of acquiring the rudi
nents of al education.
Within the past few years La
;ayette has written glorious
page in the history of Louisiana.
this progressive little
parish is pointed to as an ex-
.mple to be followed by the
aggards on the road to educa-
ional emancipation. Louisiana
reads the black list of illiteracy 1
nd the Southwestern parishes
odd the least enviable position
q the State. Be it said, how
YER, to the credit of Lafayette ;
hat it decided some time ago to ,
o longer suffer this reproach. l

seems to be about the rottenest

this be done. We want no
