Chasing a Phantom.


Judge Collins must feel lonesome af-
ter thirty odd years of consecutive
office-holding to be bereft of public
pap. But my! didn't he let go reluct-
antly? And even now, his waiting
eyes are turned towards a senatorial
toga, with a governor chair in the
dim intervening distance. He is chas-
ing phantom Rush City Post.
Barely Able to Hold Their Own.
The Collins forces, though backed
by the solid strength of the State ma
chine, though lacking nothing that can
be supplied to them by the favor of
the State administration, have barely
been able to hold their own in the
counties where they were strongest,
while the friends of Dunn have car
rled the war into every doubtful dis
trict and made Roadway everywhere.
1t now seems certain that the will of
the party is not to be disappointed or
defeated, and that Bob Dunn will be
the nominee. Wing Republican.

the present system.

creating two Circuit Courts of Appeal for the State,

Yet, there were no Parish School Superintendent
But We do not object to town, city, parish district
and State Superintendent if the school funds will
suffice to pay them the salaries of not less than $500
per annum provided by the recent law. But the
poorly paid who do the actual teaching in the
schools should be looked after first The teachers
usually earn much more than they get, and the
raising of salaries should begin at the bottom in
stead of at the top.
