proper interest is being mani
tested and that the schools of
Avoyelles have taken a mighty
stride along the road to progress.
This is a splendid example for
other parish boards to emulate.
and one that commends itself to
the careful consideration of all
who have the interest of their
public schools at heart. Lafa-
yette parish was the first in the
State to seek and employ a prac-
teal and competent educator to
supervise her public schools and
to pay him sufficient salary to
justify the devotion of his entire
time to his public duties. The
brilliant record of Superintend-
ent Alleman and the Lafayette
schools is a matter of history,
and AvOyelles has followed with
an earnestness which promises
to be equally as affective.

perfectly reasonable, it seems to

THE NEW SCHOOL BOARD.

A striking feature of the
meeting of the new School Board
which met and organized last
Thursday was the harmonious
feeling which prevailed and which
gives promise of splendid con-
certed action in the cause of edu'
cation during their incumbency.
The Board as constituted is a
good one and is composed of men
of high character and ability,
who feel a sincere interest in
schoolaffairs, and in whose hands,
we believe, the public schools of
the parish will be safe, particu-
larly so, because of the earnest
disposition shown by every
member at their first meeting to
give their best thought and most
effective efforts to the charge
placed in their care.
The unanimous election of DR..
N. P. Moss as president is a de-
served compliment and shows
that the gentlemen of the Board
know and appreciate his valuable
services to the schools of this
parish, and this appreciation was
further evidenced by their un-
animous election of DR.. Moss as
a member of the building and
other committees.
The reelection of Supt. L. j.
Alleman was a merited recogni-
ton of the able and efficient
manner in which he has dis.
charged the duties of his Office,
and gives assurance that the pro.
gressive methods and high stan
dard of the schools will be main
tanned.

Baton Rouge Truth.

Baton Rouge Truth.
In our issue of yesterday We
mentioned six objections which
have been urged in opposition to
the issuance of a million dollars
of BINDS to raise money with
which to build school houses,
and we attempted to answer one
of these objections, namely, that
the bond issue is an administra.
ton measure.
Another objection that several
papers are making much ado
over is that the bonds are not
subject to taxation, and that this
means an easy thing for the
banks that will buy them.
We take it that the bonds were
made worcestershire because
this feature would induce buyers
to pay a large price for them,
thereby insuring more money
for the schools. AS to the argu-
ment that this is a discrimina-
ton in favor of the banks. we
fail to see the force of it. In the
first place the bonds will be sold
to the highest bidders, and any
individual who wants some of
them and has the money to pay
for them can enter the market
and buy them on an equal foot.
ing with the banks, and they
will be worcestershire in his
hands the same as they will be
in the hands of the bank. In
the second place the bonds in
the hands of a bank will be non.
taxable in theory and not really
so in practice. We do not own
any banks and are not intimately
conversant with their manner of
doing business, but it is our i'm
preston that banks do not buy
bonds for the sole purpose of
realizing the interest on them,
but they are used as collateral
to raise money or other value
which goes into the trade of the
and this money is tax.
To illustrate, suppose the
First National Bank of Baton
Rouge buys 100000 of these
bonds. They ARE as good as
money, so the bank places them
with a loan company in Wall
street, and borrows on them
500 900 in money. This $780,
600 goes into the business of the
bank and is assessed like other
assets of the bank.
Again. it is said that the people
are too heavily taxed already
and should not infict additional
upon themselves.
In reply to this argument we
would point out that the consti-
fixes the rate of State
lakes at six mills; every man
who has property pays the State
six mills on the dollar, as pro.
'ided by the constitution, and
he issuance Of q million dollars
bonds will not in any manner
Affect this rate. The rate of
AVIATION will be the same as if

The Record of Roosevelt

The Record of Roosevelt.
New Orleans States.
Twenty-Five years ago before
Mr.. Joseph Pulitzer had attained
eminence and success in the
field of journalism, he was active
on the Democratic side in numer'
GUS campaigns, and won some
distinction during the presi.
dental contest of 1876 as a
stump speaker. In recent years,
however, he has been greatly
incapacitated by illness and the
loss of sight, but it is evident
that he has recovered some of
his old'time health and vigor,
for in his paper, the New York
World, he publishes an editorial
letter under the caption ''Presi-
dent ROOsevelt's Record in His
Own Words" which is a power
full arraignment of the Presi-
dents craze for militarism and
his big stick" programme,
especially in it's relation to the
countries of Central and South
America. Mr.. Pulitzer's letter
contains twenty-six citations
from the published utterances
of President Roosevelt, and they
represent the only real consist
ency of the Republican candi-
date for the Presidency, his
love, whether real or assumed,
for fighting, his desire for a big
army and navy, which shall
make the United States a
world power" 1t is safe to
say that the series of quotations
upon which Mr.. Pulitzer com
ments so forcefully and con.
vincingly, will surprise even
those who believed themselves to
be familiar with all the speeches
and writings of the President.
The whole country knew that
he despised the weakling and
craven" who desires to lead a
life of peaceful industry, because
he has so expressed himself on
several occasions, but the gen.
eral public did not know until the
letter appeared in the
World how persistently the

House, has denounced what he
