WEEDS ARE ALWAYS WITH Us.

The earth Is seemingly able to pro-

same time when the crops needs the

certain extent, although injurious, for
the gardener is often compelled to
otherwise give the garden his atten'
ton. BY so doing he keeps the soil
in a fine friable condition for the de-
sired crop. Weeds, however, should
be removed as soon as they appear;

Mr.. Editor-Having a personal in

scented on the Atchafalaya Basin Levee

to the Police Jury of each o, the Par
isles requesting them to recommend
some competent suitable person to the
Governor for appointment to fill the
vacancy caused 10y the election of
Hon. Jos A. Provost to the Senate
Also calling their attention TO the
heavy taxation to which their fellow
citizens residing east and north of the

more than double the State and Parish

dollar of which has ever been expend-
ed in either of three Parishes, but all
of it Oh the Mississippi and Atchafa-

one to see how their money is being
expended. see by your paper of re-
cent date that the Police Jury of this
Parish has recommended j. ID. Brous-
sard, one of our most worthy and best
citizens, but l am informed by his
son, that he does not care for the ap-
pointment and would not accept it, if
presented to him. 1t is we'll known
that he opposed the Governor in his
election and did all he could to de-
feat him, this being so, it seems to me
the Police Jury did not act wise in
presenting his name to the Governor

SUBSCRIPTION, $3.50 PER ANNUM.
AN IMPORTANT QUESTION.

The movement for a tax Of two
mills. for five years, for school pur-
poses is daily gaining i'll strength and
volume and by the time the citizens
are called upon TO decide the matter
by their votes, the tax will be almost
unanimous. There are few carping,
critics who would punish the innocent
children for the sins of their fathers,
even to the third generation. These
are mostly those who do not feel the
parental affection that father or
mother bears their children, having
no children to educate themselves they
care not for others. Then for the sake
of casting odium on past management
some would withhold the tax, indeed
would he willing 10 see the school
system collapse for the exquisite pleas
IRE of being able to point to derilec-
ton of duty by political opponents.
There are no politics in this question
and never should be. The admins
tration of schools is sacred trust and
should be far and away above the do
main of politics and there can be no
valid excuse for refusing adequate
support and funds for the maintenance
of schools. Whether or not the pres
ent condition of the finances of the
Board are satisfactory is not the ques-
ton. Whether there has been mis-
management in the past has no weight
on the present question that confronts
us, that of cutting down the school
term or giving adequate salaries to
the teachers. That is the question
and must be ever until it is properly
settled. That the board is in debt
the statement published elsewhere
shows. In their zeal for development
they may have encroached on other
years, but the money has been expend-
ed for schools and school purposes, our
children have had the benefit of its
expenditure. 1t is therefore manifest
ly unjust to criticise unfairly and
refuse support and assistance to a
Board composed of our best citizens
who are doing their best TO educate
our children. Let us deal fairly by
them and advocate the two mill tax
that it may lift them out of this diff
ficulty and place the schools upon a
solid foundation.
