Walter J. MOuton, son of
Jonn o. Mouton, and resident
of this town since his birth
thirty one years ago, died last
Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock at

Mr.. MOutOn was born and

his estimable social qualities.
The funeral ceremonies we're

The deceased was a member of

organizations attended the fu-
neral in bodies.
Mr.. Mouton was a graduate of

touching eulOgy of him was de-

The Gazette had the pleasure
last week of informing it's
readers Of the generous appro-
priatiOn of one thousand dollars
made by the General Education
Board on the condition that an
equal amount be duplicated by
the people of the parish, both
sums to be used in the equip
ment of the public schools. 1t
was through the personal recon-
mendation of DR.. Wallace But
trick, secretary and executive
officer Of the Board, that the
schools of this parish were made
the benefciaries of this generos-
ity. But only the we'll directed
and untiring efforts of Superin-
tendent Alleman could have won
recognition of our claims, and to
him praise is justly due. In a
personal letter written by DR..
Buttrick relative to the Board g
action, that gentleman says it
and an appreciation of his efforts
and ability as superintendent
that prompted his recOmmenda-
ton. DR.. Buttrick also recog-
nizes the devotion Of DR.. n. P.
Moss and Mr.. Alcide Judice to
the cause of public education in
Lafayette parish. Superinten-
dent Alleman has shown COM
mendable zeal in the performance
of his duties, and especially
jealous has he been in the efforts
to obtain assistance from the
Education Board in order to
equip properly the school-rooms,
and The Gazette is happy to see
such a substantial proof that his
work has not been in vain.

Prof. FOrtier was unable to come
on March 8, on account of sick
ness, but he is now fast recover
ing his physical strength and
will be able to deliver his ad-
dress on April ).
An enthusiastic multitude had
gathered to hear Mr.. Fortier a
few weeks ago. The people in
the vicinity of Broussardville
have realized the Importance of
giving their children the best
possible education. A few
months ago the citizens donated
a large building to be used as
school house, thus being one of
the first com munities to supply
what is needed most throughout
fOrta BILE SchOOl-houseS.
Realizing that the large in
crease in the number of teachers
employed in the parish this year,
coupled with the com mmendable
increase of teachers pay by the
School Board, will materially
shorten our sessions, already
too short, unless the people of
the parish supplement the pres
ent funds with a light school
tax, realizing this the people of
the fifth ward stand ready to
take the initiative in this inn
portant step. Governor Heard,
who is by far the best educa-
tional governor Louisiana has
ever had, says that Especial
school tax is the mud-sill Of the
public school system.'
The BrousSard schOOl-hOuSe is
an ornament to the parish. 1t
is completely furnished through
out with modern school furni-
ture, and hyloplate blackboard.
There is a faculty of three com
petent teachers making the
school the strongest and best
graded in the parish outside of
the town of Lafayette. 1t is the
nucleus of what, in a few years,
will be an ideal central or high
school,, where the children may
receive academic or business
training at home at compara-
lively little or no cost.

Although the Venezuelan in
cident has closed and passed
with customary modern rapidity
into the fields of the forgotten.
its Influences and suggestions
begin to be reflected in WAYS
scarcely less urgent than the
controversy itself. says Golfers
Weekly. 1t was the freedom
with which the public was taken
into the confidence of thenegotia-
tions that brought the dispute
to it's close so readily. 1t is
tendency toward a similar free
dom between the governmental
powers and public in all matters
of State that is the controversy
most conspicuous bequest. In
Great Britain Premier Balfour,
now named the most popular
Premier since Gladstone, ac-
cepting the tendency, has asked
that those in position to affect
popular opinion in any wise re-
frain with all care from infiam-
ing international prejudices; in
Germany the emperor has al
lowed his personality and his
policies to become the topic of
frank debate in Legislature and
in the press; in the Balkan
trouble the antagOniStic factors
have reSorted to the press in the
aim to represent themselves
Alright before the popular tribu
nal: in the United States, almost
simultaneously with the signing
of the Venezuelan protocol, the
policy of publicity has been de-
clared and set in motion in the
important realm OF commerce.
True, the public is the govern
ment, and is presumed to be in
the governments confidence at
all times, but the increasing
scope Of national administration,
the evolutiOns of diplomacy, and
the corruptions of politics, in
European states as we'll as
American, have contributed to-
ward other inclinations. Frank
ness has been feared; it's favor
able force has not been devined.
And some such threateningly
dramatic situation as the Ven
ezuelan affair seems to have been
needed to disclose the simplicity
of this means of power. To
whom individually, if to any one,
is due the credi of bringingab about
the disclosure, it is not easy to
say. Large and vital transfor-
matlous reaching to funda-
mental bases are usually the
product of long and continued
evOlutiOnS: but it would be unfair
to the current administration at
Washington not to think that
the Presidents own natural
candor, standing as a support
behind Mr.. Bowen, had had
much to do with the development,
and that without this perhaps
the conclusion Of the dispute
would not have been so strongly
and notably wrought. 1t will be
interesting hereafter 30 observe
how far the tendency will spread,
and how deeply it will effect the
methods and ideals of govern
ment
