State Superintendent of Edu-
cation J. B. Aswell has begun
his administration auspiciOusly.
His first act was to call a con-
ference of distinguished educa-
tors to discuss plans and pro-
grams for teachers Institutes to
be conducted throughout the
summer in the different parishes,
and this conference began its
sessions in his office in the State
house to-day. After a weeks
conference and consideration of
details, the educators will separ-
ate. each taking up the work
that has been assigned him.
Professor Aswell proposes to
give at least one day to each OF
the Institutes, though the detail
will be left largely to the dis
tinguiShed educators who have
undertaken to assist him. The
very fact that such a diSting-
uished body OF educators should
rally to the assistance of the
new State Superintendent shows
in what high esteem he is held
and augurs well for the future
of educational work in Louisiana.

An Arkansas paper tells a
story of a man who was caught
out IN the woods during a storm.
He didn't want to get wet, and
the only dry place he could find
was a hollow log, into which he
managed to crawl. The rain
lasted a couple of hours, when
the fellow decided he had better
be going home. He tried to ex-
tricate himself from the log,
but the soft wood had swollen
and he couldn't bulge a peg.
There alone in the desOlate
woods many miles from the
nearest habitatiOn the poor man
lay for hours thinking of all the
mean things he had done, when
all at once it suddenly dawned
upon him that he had read his
country paper three years with
out paying for it and then re-
fused to take it out of the post
Office. It made him feel so
small that he crawled out of the
log through a knot hole

Louisiana Negroes Recognized as
the Only Republicans at
Chicago.

Picayune, June II.
The Republican National Com
mittee at Chicago, preparatory
to the meeting of the National
Republican Convention, was in
session yesterday, settling con-
tests among delegations from
the several States.
There were two delegations
from Louisiana contesting for
recognition as the simon-pure
article. One was the Black and
Tan" delegation, made up of
negroes and whites, under the
craftsmanship of Walter Cohen,
a negro of this city. The other
was the Lilly White" element,
under the leadership of Chair
man Williams and Ext Governor
Warmoth. Both parties pre-
sented their respective claims,
and the Committee decided in
favor of the Cohen crowd, the
Lily Whites having been hope
lessly turned down.
Thus it has been settled by
the highest Republican authority
that the negro element makes up
the only Republican Party in
Louisiana. 1t may mean some
thing serious if Roosevelt is re.
elected President.

The idle and WORTHLESS negroes
in the cities of. the south are not
only non-prOducers, but they
are a menace to the peace and
prosperity of the State in every
way. They congregate in the
cities, towns and villages, and at
all places where dav labor can be
had, and refuse to work on the
farms and plantations. They
live by stealing outright or max
ing their women who work for
the whites, steal for them when
they fail to get work. And yet
there are people who contend
that it will not do to enact a
vagrant law that will reach the
loafers. Listen to what Com

cultural department said along
this line in his latest report:
During the year 1902 our
supply of farm labor was en-
tirely inadequate to the demand.
Owing to short crops in neigh
boring States and the shortage
of the sugar crop in this State,
there was some improvement in
1903; but even then there was a
scarcity of labor during the
harvesting season. I hardly
think we can look for any per-
manent relief in the labor situa.

A Noiseless Fourth of July.

A Noiseless Fourth Of July.
New Orleans States, June Is.
Nearly all of the large cities in
the North are now engaged in a
campaign for a nOiseless Fourth
of July, and it is proposed to bar
toy pistols, giant crackers and
dynamite explosions. In order
to make amends to the small boy
it was proposed in Chicago for
the city authorities to contract
with an amusement company to
set off fireworks in designated
places in the public parks and
furnish to all the youngsters
who apply free crackers of the
small and harmless Chinese type.
1t was planned to have a police
man, a fireman, a teacher and a
doctor at each celebration center.
This plan was agreed upon as
the best way to celebrate the
Nations birthday, and it in
vOlved the raising of a sum of
$50, OOO. 900 with which to pur-
chase the fireworks, but as only
5000 has been raised it is fair
to assume that the Fourth of
July in Chicago this year will be
far from nOiseless. and the
citizens will have to endure the
discomfort and the ear racking
din to which it seems they can
not get accustomed. However,
the efforts to suppress the ex-
plOding of revOlvers and giant
crackers may be attended by a
fair degree of success.
The city of Cleveland has
passed a municipal ordinance
against the sale of toy pistols
and blank cartridges which have
sent so many promising small
boys to the far-angel land. St.
Paul has provided against the
sale of fireworks in that city
during the thirty days preceding
the Fourth of July. The small
boy, OF course, in the cities
mentioned feels that he has been
made the victim of the most
crushing tyranny, because if he
were alone consulted he would
be in favor of running any risk.
matter how great that en-
abled him to make a noise. But
it is quite clear that the efforts
that are being made to protect
him against himself are praise
worthy, and it would be well for
all the cities to do something to
prevent him from running amuck
on the Glorious Fourth, blowing
himself up and burning down
parts of the town.

bremont's bill requiring monthly
settlements from the tax collec-
tors throughout the country
parishes. It is certainly a bust
ness idea and there is no good
reason why the Office of a tax
collector should not be conducted
on business principles. Refer
ring to this the Baton Rouge
Times says:
The press all over the State is
commenting on the developments
in the Calcasieu shrievalty case.
There is a unanimous sentiment
in favor of legislation which will
make defalcatiOns more difficult.
The proposition to make all the
sherifs settle monthly which
was suggested by the Times
some time ago, and put in the
form of a bill by Senator Lam
Fremont, is meeting with ap-
prOval. Monthly settlements
are the rule with the New Or
leans tax collectors, and there
is no reason why it should not be
made the law and apply to all
tax collectors. A demand has
sprung up in some quarters for
a division of the Offices of sheriff
and tax collector, and legislation
on that line has already been
proposed. Anything that will
lessen the temptation to appro-
pirate the states money should
be encouraged and put into law.
Lake Charles Press, June Is:
On first thought monthly set
elements appear to be.the proper
thing. hut a little consideration
puts a different face on the
matter. Baton Rouge is a good
long way from most of the
parish seats and to require every
tax collector in the State to visit
the Capital monthly to settle,
will entail a heavy expense,
which will diminish the profits
of the Office below a reasonable
compensation to the officers.
Besides, it will keep most of the
collectors ION the road" entirely
too large a proportion of the
time, forcing them to hire de-
puties, still further reducing the
profits of the Office. 1t is the
duty of the collector to stay in
his Office and attend to business.
that's a business way, and the
Legislature should pass no law
to encourage him to leave his
duties in the hands of deputies.
Further, the work crowded on
the auditors Office would require
q large force of clerks, and the
auditor could not give his close
attention to settlements as he
should.
Quarterly settlements are
amply sufficient to protect the
State, all that is necessary is
that the auditor demand settle
ments at the end of the quarter,
and in case of failure report to
Gov. Blanchard who has stated
his determination to force settle
ments promptly. Ifany further
safeguards are needed, let a law
be passed increasing the bond of
the tax collector, and another
law making the bond of the
auditor jointly responsible with
the sherif's bond, when the
auditor fails to enforce settle
ment at the end of each quarter.
AS for the suggestion that q
travelling auditor be appointed
to visit the tax collectors and
check them up, there is no need
for such an officer. To appoint
one would uselessly spend the
peoples money, and add another
unnecessary Office. Make the
tax collectors bond big enough
to cover receipts for one quarter,
! make the auditor do his duty If

DEAL PRACTICALLY CLOSED

Names Will he Announced As
Soon as the Deal is Formally

They Would BE Here in Time for

Unless there is a serious miscarriage
of his plans. Owner Boyer will have
three new faces on the Pathfinder
lineup in Mondays game, catcher,
second baseman and third baseman.
Mr.. Boyer stated over the long dis
lance telephone from Augusta last
night that the deal for these men was
practically closed, but that until every
formality was gone through with, and
the men were actually on their way to
Savannah he would not announce their
names.
Il believe I will be able to state as
soon as 1 reach Savannah just who
these men are" Mr.. Boyer said. Il
have been disappointed so many times
this season that am afraid to make
too many statements until 1 am posi-
tive"
Transportation has already been for
warded to the new players, and Mr..
Boyer said last night he felt assured
everything was satisfactorily adjusted
for their joining the team.
Neither of these three players is an
experiment. They are all known to Mr..
Boyer personally, and one of them
played with Mullaney on the Birming-
ham team. No small amount of money
was expended in getting their release,
and they will, perhaps, be three of the
highest-priced players in the league.
President Boyer intimated last night
that these were not the only changes
that he had in view, and he is sparing
no effort to make a final squirt and try
to catch the leaders before the pennant
is lost to Savannah forever this sea-
son.

ENJOINED The
AUGUSTA TEAM
CANNOT COME TO SAVANNAH
TO PLAY THE GAMES SCHEDULED
FOR AUGUSTA.

People of Augusta So Sore on
strOuthers They Sought the
Courts Order Against Him-An-
nOuncement of Games for savan-
nah Was Then Changed-Truby,

Augusta, July 16.-To-day Strouthers
and Boyer announced that the games
with Savannah, scheduled to be play
ed Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday
in Augusta, had been transferred and
would be played in Savannah instead.
The reason given was that the attend
ance was not sufficient to pay ex-
penses, and that the home team was
losing money, and that this was the
better course to pursue than to move
the franchise to another city.
This action aroused the greatest in
dignation. For some time Strouthers
has been unpopular. The small at
tendance dates from the Fourth of
July, when two straights were lost to
Columbia in way that aroused sus-
picions. The people have not been at
tending on account of the manner in
which the team has acted
AS soon as the intention Of transfer
was announced the citizens went to
work to circumvent Strouthers. Attor-
neys o. R. Eve and Austin Branch
were consulted, and late in the even
ing an order restraining the manager
from playing any games scheduled for
Augusta in any other city was drawn
up in the names of Paul Heymann
and E. ]. Lyon. Judge H. c. Ham
mond was hunted up and a temporary
restraining order was signed at 10
o'clock.
1t was filed with the clerk and the
sheriff himself served it on Strouth-
ers at a quarter past midnight. He
then went into consultation with Boy
er, and a l o'clock called up the news
paper offices and announced that the
games would not be played in Savan-
nah, but in Augusta.
This is considered a complete victory
here.
TRULY, Roth and Miller have been
transferred to Savannah. Wilson and
Chanler have been signed by Strouth-
ers.
