very practical and carried with
it much weight. He assured the
colored people that the Southern
white man is their best friend and
that the colored people enjoy ad-
vantages in the South that they
could not enjoy in the North and
West. Mr. Burke is one of New
lberia's most prominent young at
torneys and he is highly respected
by both white and colored, and the
colored people cannot but feel that
he is sincere in everything he said.
The audience was also well
pleased with the talk made by Mr..
Jules Dreyfus, He spoke very en-
conraging words. Among the
speakers was Prof. Jonas Hender-
sou, principal of the Howe School.
He assured these white gentlemen
that the negro does not want social
equality but is simply contending
for what is right. He also admits
that the South is the best place
for the negro, and that the white
people generally do not judge the
colored race by its best citizens but
seemingly, they from their estimate
OF the race by the action of the
vicious and iliterate members of
the race; and if the white man
would be more in touch and in har-
nony with the better members Of
the race, and especially with those
who are law abiding citizens, they
will certainly see more IN the ne
gro race to admire and appreciate.
Too much cannot be said in be-
half of the teachers of this school,
and especially of its esteemed prin-
,ipal, Miss Rachel A. Hayes. She
IS a thorough teacher and one can
zee plainly that she is deeply in
crested in educational work. The
School Board is justly proud of
having snch an able teacher under
heir supervision. She received
he highest congratulations from I
hose present, and her influence for ,
rood cannot be overestimated. The
,etter citiz9ns of the town have
pledged her their support.

We told the people that Newton G.
Blanchard, if made governor, would
90 all III his power to benefit the pub
lie schools of Louisiana and he has
made start in that direction that
bids fair to give Louisiana n much
better school system He has recon-
mended to the legislature that the
state portion of the six mills state tax
that now goes elsewhere This would
Increase the money for public school
purposes and give longer terms to the
country public schools. He has also
strongly recommended that the state
sell ~, 600, 600 of bonds and that the
money derived therefrom all he used
for building public school houses
throughout the state. Governor
Blanchard is a twentieth century
man, and if the general assembly
takes his advice, Louisiana will go
forward in leaps and bounds both in
an educational and business way.
The Town Talk made no mistake when
1T begged democrats to support Newton
=. Blanchard for governor. We have
known him for twenty wears,
have always supported him for the Off
nes he sought, and by so doing have
well served the people of Rapides and
The State Of Louisiana. He is up to
the minute in everything, and that is
The kind of man Louisiana wants at
ihe head of public affairs. Alexan-
lria Town Talk.

All fools are not dead the latest
heard from is legislator in Baton
Rouge who will introduce bill in the
house. providing for the repeal of the
present Sunday law aad substitution
one permitting saloons to remain open
on Sunday except between the hours of
10 to IL clock a. m. The writer is
not religions crank, but would have
to think that the majority of our
state Legislators were SO narrow mind
ed as to vote for such bill. The
SUNDAY law is a good one and if it
was enforced in other towns as it is in
Lake Charles it would be vast bene-
fit You can't even buy cigar in

responsibility for such failure will rest
on the shoulders of those who will re-.

vate the poor children of the possibil-
ity of obtaining the first rudiments of

only the faintest little murmur for

FOR ELECTION BY THE PEOPLE

The herman resolution won a signal
victory III the House yesterday after
one of the most brilliant and vigorous
debates OF the session.
Less than week ago The Times.
Democrat called attention to the fact
that what every one knows to be the
great political issue of the day in
| Louisiana, what had been discussed on
the stump and in the press at the pri-
mary and the electon--the question
OF return to the democratic system
Of electing officials as against the Re
publican system of appointing them,
had been completely ignored by the
Legislature and it looked as though
this question was to be lodged or
shelved, in spite of the pledges made
to consider it and allow the people to
act on it.
Mr., Herman of Baton Rouge put an
end to this delay and dodging last
Thursday with the following strong
and effective resolution;
