POLICE PROMOTION
The Efficiency of the Force Will Be
Strengthened Under the New
System.

Years ago the Caucasian, single and
alone. advocated untiringly the system
cf promotion which prevails at last in
the police force of the city.
The initial move in this direction was
in the election of Chief Gerald, who
had been jealous and efficient in the dis
charge of his duties as a subordinate.
At the time of the election civilian
was an active and almost successful can
didate for the office, but he was dis
placed by silent and positive influence
in which the Caucasian was in full ac-
cord. The election of Gerald was the
first direct recognition of the subordi-
nate possessing the capacity to fill the
office. Until this new departure the
chief was civilian who had only an in
definite knowledge of the police ani its
requirements.
The promotion of subordinates is re-
corded with satisfaction In accordance
with instructions from Mayor Querbes,
which increased the Workmanship to
two, the vacancies created by promotion
have been filled in this order:
Zeb Aiken, first sergeant to second
lieutenant
A. c. Peterson from second sergeant
to first sergeant.
J. w. Linxweiller, from patrolnan to
second sergeant. :
]. w. Webb. extra man, will be reg
ular patroln1an.
Under this system there is promise
for advancement A policeman need
not be a policeman for years, as under
the old system. Under the new de-
parture there. will always be room at
the top for good men.
The first lieutenant is Henry Basch,
who will divide the night watches with
Lieutenant Aiken, as will be agreed.
This addition to the force will be great
relief to Lieutenant Basch. who has
been compelled to keep watch during
the long hours of night.

A rude illustration of the workings of
the autocratic system of taxation will
be given to the people of Louisiana in
the meantime. but we have an abiding
faith that the spirit of Democracy in
which they have been bred. and which
they have so nobly upheld in far more
trying periods. will rise again to crush
for many years this attempt to reduce
them to a condition of vassalage which
has no precedent in the history Of the
State and no example in any other
State of the Union.

WORTH OF FRATERNITIES.

The Bankers Union Herald says
The man who opposes fraternal orders
is either narrow in nature, Or ignorant
of their labor of love; the woman that
objects to fraternities is either selfish
or uninformed.
Second only to humanity's sacred re-
ligons. comes the beautiful mission of
secret societies bound together in the
bonds of brotherhood. They minister
to the sick-no day too hot nor night
too cold for them to relieve brother
in distress! You ask: ''Would it not
be better if all these things were done
in the name of Christ than in the name
of fraternity?" Answer ours, "Yes|
But, kind friend. if you wait for that
day you may linger and suffer alone
because the churches have not paid
strict attention to organizing their sick
relief departments.
Fraternities are valiant protectors of
womanhood-a true fraternity man is a
noble gentleman. the loyal defender of
the good name of every brothers house
hold. If womankind could really find
out the value that secret societies are
to them, aye, then, no woman would
dare to trust her heart and hand in the
keeping of man who belonged not to
the safe fraternity. Fraternity is the
needed link, the faithful tie, the good
Samaritan, the nurse fdr the sick, the
guardian of the dead,ss the slesp1ess
friend of the helpless! 8

HE PUBLIC SCHOOL ALLIANCE

THE PUBLIC SCHOOL ALLIANCE
: Times Democrat, April "a: "The
Public School Alliance, organized in
New Orleans some weeks ago by the
friends of education in this city for the
purpose of bringing about an improve
ment in Our public schools, will, begin
ming tomorrow, for this week ani next.
hold mass meetings in the several wards
for the purpose of arousing the public
to the Importance of the work it has
undertaken and to secure that support
and backing necessary for success. That
it will get this backing no one doubts.
The people of New Orleans are earnest
in their support of education, and have
shown willingness to make great sac
rihces in the cause"
And so have the people of Shreveport
and of other towns throughout the
State. 1t may be conceded without ar
gument that improvement in the public
school system is desired, but such bet
terment must come when the people can
control the school boards and the super
ntendents. Have the people ever stopped
a second to figure the cost of the recent
gathering of school teachers at sAlexan-
dria, with the vacation given the pupils
of the public schools throughout the
State, in which as much politics as edit
cation figured prominently? The people
in time will become aroused to the needs
of their children in the public schools
of the State.

TAXATION WITHOUT REPRE-
SENTATION

SEN n loN.
This form of taxation is incompatible
with the theory of government with
the consent of the governed which is
suggestive of government economically
administered"
To the contrary, taxation without rep
resentation is indispensable to autocracy
which requires as many functionaries
to sustain it as the funds forced from
the people upon various pretenses will
maintain.
Through the oppointive power we
have gravitated towards the most ex-
tensive, expensive and complicated ma
chinery of government ever dreamed of
in the days of genuine Democracy and
of the supremacy of the home rule
principle.
The existing system has need for the
exslusive control of the taxing power.
1t is'gaining it by gradual approaches.
First, it retained the appointive asses
sors after the creation of qualified and
restricted electorate, and when, in 1902,
the reVisory powers of the local authori-
ties elected by the people were abro-
gated, taxation without representation
was established in principle.
Yet, the scheme was imperative. Mel
ther the Constitution nor any statute
had clothed the Governor, nor any other
State official. with the power to instruct
the assessors to increase the taxation by
increasing the assessments. Left to
themselves. these officers would, doubt
less, have continued to make assess
ments in accordance with their judg-
ment of the conditions in t1feir respec-
tive localities.
But when Governor Blanchard usurp-
ed the power to call them together os-
tensibly to devise methods of equaliza-
ton that the Legislature alone is om=
powered to formulate, it can easily be
understood how, Notwithstanding, these
officers, who are removable at the pleas
ure of the Governor yielded as the re-
suits would indicate, to the instructions
of the Governor
With assessors elected by the people,
no such scheme would have been pos
sible, nor would the thought of attempt
ing it have entered Governor Blan-
chard's mind.
The last obstruction to the operations
of the autocratic scheme of taxation
without representation was thus re-
moved by Governor Blanchard. He
had made no secret that more revenue
had to come from the assessments, and
it is presumable that in the secret con-
ference of assessors which he attended
here an arbitrary apportionment of the
amount to be raised was communicated
to each assessor. Some day, Legislative
or judicial inquiry may reveal all that
happened in the unlawful secret con-
claves held at the Governors command
Upon this issue, the alignment oil
