neighboring mines rushed to the ILL

MISREPRESENTATION
= j. ENTC

The People, General Jastren1ski's pa
per, published in Baton Rouge, says:
Early last summer public attention was
directed to. some members of the Legis-
lature, who in defiance, notably, of Ar
ticle ~, of the Constitution, were occu-
pying the public school superintendencies
OF their respective parishes, the salaries
Of which had been increased by authority
OF an Act Of the. Legislature of which
they were then members. The very same
prohibition intended to keep senators and
representatives from beneftting by the
creation Of new offices, or the increase
in the salaries Of existing ones, is to be
found in the Federal Constitution, and it
has just been raised against the recent
appointment Of Senator Quarles of Wis
consi1 to new Federal judgesl1ip. But,
nowadays, in Louisiana, constitutional
Instructions cut very little ice. Our
legislator superintendents needed not
the complaints and they stuck to their
]. fat superintendencies as if they had been.
glued to Them
Early ii October Attorney General.
Guion was appealed to in the matter, and
after reviewing the laws on the subject
lie gave out this conclusion: !
Ii my opinion no person who was a.
member Of the Legislature Of 1904 is.
eligible is parish superintendent of pub
I lie schools, By reason Of increase of the
enoluments Of parish superintendents.
Ordinarily i jolt like this would suf-..
fee, but ON legislator uperintendents
are made Of sterner stuff. They are no
cutters Of paying offices, on such slight
limitations Hence. for the five months
that have gone BY since the occurrence
of this unpleasant incident, they have
chung ID the plum tree II the hope,
doubtless. that It would blow over.
Nov comes the news that 4 move has
been made to compel District Attorney
Thens of Arcadia to institute proceed

Nimberly aof BierviIIe, who IS in this

The gain of the strongest natural
position on the entire railroad, where
much money and labor was expended
in defenses under General Kuropatkin's
personal direction without a battle, was
hardly expected. All indications point

organized after the storm. During the
first day the Russians buried their dead,
but since then have left the dead Wher-

New York, Dec 23.-President Nicholas MUIR
mass meeting of the students yesterday, to
make protest against the ban placed by the
faculty on football and other sports. Dr.. But
ler in conciliatory speech, surprised the 600
students present by saying the facultys action
was not final and before the meeting adjourned
the students cheered him and gave him a vote
of confidence R. W. Macbeth, president Of the
senior class, presided. '~.'
President Butler said that he glad of
the privilege to emphasize, both from convic-
ton and choice, the position taken by the
faculty, which has two bodies Of scholars, those
both being IDENTICAL -,
1t was a matter Of great concern to him.: a
student and teacher in the university for TWEEN
, ty-eight years, to notice in the last few days
part of the students to teachers, the result, he
believed OF a misunderstanding of conditions.
50 1t was well, he said, to meet the student
body face to face and remove the misunder-
standing. H. s-- 80 -
For years, he said, a strong public feeling
had been growing in regard to the evils Of col
lege athletics. The game of football had de-
veloped he said. and the time for preparation
has Increased. Preparation brought about de-
| ceit, dishonesty and Generalization. The time
had now come. he declared, for Columbia to
stand for something better. Time would show
| he said. that sports could be carried on in a
different way. - :
! There is every reason to be proud he de-
clared, 'of the representatives of Columbia and
| 1t should not be compelled to stand for what it
did not believe in. The action taken by the
university council is believed to- be right, but
all human beings liable to error H..
President Butler concluded by wishing the en-.
/ tire student body a Merry Christmas and a
happy New Year The address was enthusiastic
| cally applauded and a unanimous vote Of thanks
was rendered DR., Butler s.-.E. -.
