If the proposed amendment to
the constitution, relative to the
issue of 81 ,OOO, 900 of bonds, is
adopted, it will give the parish of
Rapides $4,000 for public school
buildings. just think what that
will do in the way of giving the

good and comfortable school
houses for the school children.
Many of our school houses are
not fit for the children. They
are badly lighted, are t00 small,
and are not warm in winter, and
are not equipped with proper
seats. The people of Louisiana
never had such a chance to get
assistance for public school
buildings from the State, and if
they let it pass the chance will
never come again. What is a
million dollar debt to the State
compared to giving the school
children decent, comfortable
places to attend school? The

THE POOR nAN'S COURT OF
APPEAL.

How many citizens of this
parish or of Louisiana will en-
gage in Or be adefendant in a suit
involving $1,000 or more during
the coming year? Hardly very
many: but there will be a large
number who will have to defend
suits for a less amount. Shall
these people be denied a right of
appeal? Must they be confined
to the decision of one court,
while their richer and more
fortunate fellow citizens have a
supreme court provided and
paid for out of the money of the
whole people, to which to appeal?
Shall one class of citizens be
given a right refused to another
class: Shall a small minority
have a precious privilege denied
to a large majority? The right
of appeal is an essential part of
free institutions; if restricted. it
is at the expense of liberty, and
becomes the entering wedge of
tyranny.
1t is charged that a circuit
court of appeals is unnecessary.
1t is the poor mans court of
appeal, and if it is unnecessary,
then the supreme court, which
is the rich mans court of appeal,
Is unnecessary. It is urged
that the circuit court of appeals
is expensive; so is the supreme
court. If the State is too poor
or too economical to have a poor
mans court of appeal, it is too
poor and economical to have a
rich mans court of appeal. This
is a democratic government and
before the law all men are equal.
1t one man is entitled to a court
OF appeal, every other is so en-
titled, and the people of this
State will be blind, deaf and
dumb to their rights if they fail
to vote emphatically for the court
OF appeals amendment. A prin-
ciple Is involved. the principle Of
right and justice, the principle
OF equal privileges to all, special
favors to none.
1t may be urged that the con-
stitution provides for a circuit
court of appeals. It does: but
it is so ingeniously provided. so
economically provided, that it is
q delusion, a make believe-;t
has been tried four years and
found wanting. 1t is a court in
appearance only. there is no
reality to it. Don't be deceived.

peals amendments adopted, we
will have only the shadow left
and lose the substance.
Vote for the judiciary amend
ment, Act No. 1872 and obtain a
poor mans court of appeal that
will be real.

ployers are saying, according to
an article in Public Opinion, are
giving satisfaction and are super
seding negro labor. The i'm
ported European labor is more
Industrious and thrifty than the
negro labor. The Italians, &C
custOmed to economy, thrive on
the money that the negroes
would waste. Many of them buy
land and eventually become
landed citizens. If this tendency
should continue it may become
the most serious influence in the
South adverse to the negro. If
the negro can not compete in
common labor what is to become
of him? Economic conditions of
the States may be improved by
the importation or they may not.
This will depend largely on the
stability, industry and honesty
of the foreigners who settle in
the Southland. In many North
ern communities where Poles,
HungarianS and Italians have
been employed in large numbers
they have been found so clanish
and so persistent in pepetuating
foreign ways that they have not
been regarded as altogether use
full additions to our population.
Once assimilated results may be
different. AT any rate if the
South is to have imported labor
it seems that a serious question
is raised which deeply concerns
the negro"
1t is quite true, as our Indian
apOlis contemporary says that
the importation of labor by the
South from Europe will raise a
serious question, and one that
will deeply concern the negro.
The negro, will have no one to
blame except himself if he
finds that his labor is supplanted
by that of the italian or some
Industrious immigrant.
For years negro labor in the
South has been growing more
worthless and unreliable. With
plenty of work to do at good
wages the negroes will not ac-
cept employment, but on the con-
trary the tendency among them
to leave the country and seek
the cities where they exc out a
miserable existence. In the
meantime the South realizes
that the worlds demand for
cotton must be supplied and if
the negroes will not raise and
pick the crop other labor must
be secured to do it. This is the
that cOnfrOnts the
planters and farmers of the
and which has resulted in
great encouragement being given
the movement to secure labor
Europe.

Quiet Election Everywhere.
The election over the state was gem
orally without incident. Fair weather
prevailed, and it is believed the con-
solicitation of the returns will show a
much heavier vote and a larger Dem
ocratic majority than four years ago.
A report from Augusta says labor lead
ers from Georgia contributed to the
Republican victory in Indiana and
other doubtful states, because the
Georgia Legislature has persistently
refused to enact a child labor bill and
other labor legislation which has been
demanded.
