Of q majority Of the police jury and
held the parish printing contract. and
We are quite sure our pathetic hoWls,s
and s.Wails" when our $500 propesal
was ignored were neither more pathetic
nor yoeiferous than those emitted by
our neighbor when its extra cnt-rate
Of $3.50 failed of acceptance. Pr THE
score of consistency. therefore, NE are
scarcely amenable TO reproof on the
part of The Times, and there is at
least one member Of the police jury
who should also be estopped from such
criticism, since he was very emphatic
Id condemnation Of the action Of the
former jury ii sqaanaering the peo-
pies money" by falling to accept the
half-rate bid for the printing. What
was wholly wrong in the estimation of
these worthy commentators few years
ago, seems TO have been entirely right,
proper and Unstable il 1904.
There is no fair comparison to be
drawn between a cut in the pittance Of
500 a year formerly paid for the
town printing and the extremely liberal
compens alton Of $500 . year received
BY the parish printer. II is q propo-
sition susceptible. Of ready proof that
the town printer has always done con-
siderably more work for his 500 than
the parish printer did for $500, aud the
discrepancy il still greater now that
the price for the municipal printing
has been forced BY eompetition down
TO the inadequte rate of $40 a year.
The S48. rate fixedfo the school board 5
printing is much more. liberal, consid-
crit TIE amount Of work to be per-
fortiss.d. than is the $40 rate for the
town printing.
In view of these facts and figures,
which challenge denial, we are quite
willing to invoke the Judgment of an IN
telligent and impartial public upon the
attitude taken the school board, the
town council and The Chief with refer
ence to the public printing question. as
compared with the position occupied
by the police jury and The Times. In
stead of seeking to eyade the, issue we
are DESTROYS that it should be sharply
drawn and squarefy met.

s.There, There, Little Boy, Don't Cry

You are wrong, little boy. Crying
for the moonn IS not slang ID any

of ragtime and slang, to illustrate the
tendency OF grasping human nature to
reach after the nnattaiBable and she'd
bitter and angry tears because Of the
inevitable failure to grasp it. Babies
do cry for the moon, just as greedy
boys do for things they can't get or
that are not good for them. So dry
your eyes and hush your sobs, dear
Little Timesy, and be content with the
big piece of parish printing pie yoa
and Little Denny are sharing between
you. Don't act ugly because The Chief
has been permitted to nibbie al thetown

1t is a hopeful and ereditable sign

It is hopeful and ereditable sign
when the political opinions of public
school directors are not indicated by
their official actions. No good citizen
wishes the common school system inn
pregnated with party politics, and

penditures of the school fund and
awarding of contracts on the basis OF
the political professions Of the bene-
ticiaries rather then the intrinsic merits

A Late Easter.

An exchange remarks that Easter
comes this year On the 23rd Of April.
Only nine times in two and a quarter
centuries has it fallen SO late, and it
is not possible for it to fall more than
two days later. In all the time from
1896 to 2013 there is not one occasion
when it falls later than April %, and
only twice does 1t come on this day Of
the month.

A Shining Example.

The Chief takes pleasure in joining
with its local contemporary, The Daily
Times, ito respectfully invite the Dem
ocratie party 5 most earnest consider
alton OF the action of the Democratic
school board " Of this parish IL award
ing its printing contract to the lowest
and best bidder without regard TO the
political status Of the competitors.
Besides giving the Invitation the ben
eft Of our larger circulation. We de-
sire to 60 q step further. aud COM
mend the course Of Ascension s public
school directors in this instance as a
shining example that is eminent1y
worthy Of imitation By every other
school board insIlouisiana.
The direction and control Of public
is motor at least should
not be-a part of the political maehia--
cry of the dominant party. On the cons
trary. it should be kept religionsly
free from the faint Of parts anship,
and should be administered % strictly
business principles, without personal
or political bias
Every member Of the Ascension
school board IS known as a Democra at,
who not only supported the Democratic
ticket at the last election, bat who was
himself chosen at D Democratic pri-
mary to be recommended for appoiDt-
ment to his present position as school
director; hence it is not only to the per-
sonal credit Of these Democratic Off
cials that they have performed their
duty il q fair, impartial and non-par-
tisan manner, but it reflects credit
upon their party as we'll. II all the

 k. \. Blakeslee was granted permis. sion to use city water for sprinklinr purposes on the usual conditions. It was voted to call the attention of the trolley company to the fact that they are not keeping the globes on the arr, lights clean and that the paving on East Main street, between Exchange place and School street, so much of 1t as was taken up and put back by the company last year, is unsatisfactory and will have to, be relaid.
 It was voted to ask the aldermen for discretionary power regarding the kind of material to be used for per manent pavement. so that in case the investigation now being conducted should show something better and cheaper than bricks can be had they may be in position to govern them- selves accordingly.
