The Constitutional Amend
nlentS.

But ia calling attention to the
personel of the convention of 1898,
we are not seeking to draw odious
comparisons between the conven-
tion and the legislature of 1904.
There are Indeed not few men,
bers of the Legislature who CON-
mand our highest confidence and
respect. We do say, however,
that as rule they are younger,
less experienced and less known
than were the members of the con-
yention, and that by far the great
er part of the time of its last SEES
sion was occupied in discussing
ways and means and passing bills
having for their purpose the knock
ing out of much of the best work
of the convention. And we SIM
ply want to suggest here to the
people that they should go slow,
and ponder and consider well each
and every one of the fifteen pro-
posed amendments before voting
thereon, which if adopted, will
leave the orgrnic law of the state
in its very infancy like a serpent
with its head mashed off-the lit
tie life that remains all in the tail.
-Ringgold Register.
The preceding is full of good adj
vice. Both bodies were elected
by the democratic party and their
work is entitled to the same calm
and respectful consideration. To
be sure, some changes are required
in the organic law but there is
much in it that should stand until
it is found inadequate. The deci-
sions of the majority of the people
upon the proposed changes will re-
fleet upon neither of these two boz
dies. Every citizen should seek
to acquaint himself with the mer-
its and dement's of each one and
vote according to the dictates of
his judgment. When voting upon
these proposed amendments, every
citizen will be acting the part of a
law maker.-The People.

A Horse of Another Color.
The refusal of the State Board
of Education to appoint the varl-
Gus primary nominees on the local
school boards is causing great
many serious and just complaints.
Our people are as capable OF Sc
Letting a fit local board as the
whole of Louisiana's people were
of selecting Superintendent Aswell
or any other State official. For
Superintendent Aswell to take the
position he has in regard to selec-
ting the local boards has given
him and the cause of education in
this state a black eye. He has
sprung into political prominence
through the desire of the people TO
have a modern and competent man
at the head of our educational sys-
tenn. He will tell any class of
teachers he is training to draw out
a pupil, work in harmony with
him, that education means an I'M
folding, that it comes from within,
from desire, from development,
and not from without. And still
he is proceeding in an entirely diff
ferent way with the people. He
could accomplish more good by
acceeding to the will of the people,
getting their good opinion and
then proceeding with his great
work. We have no hesitancy in
asserting that any school board Sc
lected by any parish in this State
could be gotten to forward any idea
the State Superintendent wanted
to incorporate into the system, if
he simply expressed his desire to
that effect aud explained his rea-
son. keep the schools out of po-
litics!" That's the cry. Yes, gen.
tlemen, get them out of politics
aud then see about keeping them
out.-Natcbitoches Times.
1t is evident that while the pub
lie sentiment is entirely willing to
accept the advice of State Super
intendent Aswell upon the methods
of teaching, it is unwilling to let
the State Board of Education, do
minated by the Governor and his
appointees, take from the people
the control of the school affairs in
the various localities. If it is de-
signed to perpetuate bossism in
stead of free government in Louis
lana, then the State Borad plan is
the ideal one to follow. But the
biggest half of the population do
not want bossism, and there will
be the rub. The People.
