READING

The School Board proceedings,
which are published elsewhere
in this issue, are specially in
terest'ng. They contain Supt.
Alleman's report of the work OF
last year and give in detail the
number in attendance, cost per
child, number of schools, etc. etc,
furnishing complete information
on all points to the public.
The report calls special at
tention to the need for more
school houses, and expresses the
inability Of the Board, even with
the additional revenues from the
school tax, Jury and Council, to
meet the fast growing demand.
Every citizen should read the
proceedings carefully.

blind to those that lie about you. You
see the faults of the other fellow, but
not your own.
And how much time and worry you
waste over faults that are beyond
reach of remedy. and how many
opportunities you miss to correct the
faults that are directly under your
control!
Train your vision in upon yourself
and e if you can't find, without aid
of a magnifying glass, enough faults
to correct which will keep you out of
other peoples business the rest of
your life.
What affair is it of yours that the

you that you cause your wife and

enough for you to take advantage of
the sunshine and prepare for the

No amount of complaining can
change the times in the least. The
most that may be done by the wisest

THE MUNICIPAL CAMPAIGN.

The election for mayor and
cOuncilmen in Lafayette will not
take place until next April; but
the municipal campaign was
formally opened last Thursday
night at the court house at a mass
meeting of citizens called for the
purpose of placing a ticket in the
field. A full report of the meet.
ing is published in our columns
to-day.
In view of the past factional
differences in our local politics.
i; is to be regretted that those
having the common welfare
honestly at heart should not have
made an earnest effort in a
patriotic spirit to obliterate fac
tiOnal lines with it's obstructive
tendency. by uniting on a single
ticket composed of good men
without reference to past polit-
tical differences, thereby ensur-
ing to the municipality a pro-
gressive business administration
free from the blighting infu-
ences of partisan politics. Such
a contamination should always
be possible with right thinking
men, and they alone onght to be
the ones entrusted with the con-
troll Of public affairs.
AS it is we understand there
will be two tickets in the field. if
not three, with the attendant
scrimmages for spoils and
supremacy, which unfortunately
too often overshadows all other
considerations in q heated polit-
teal campaign, and it only re-
mains for those who are con-
cerned more with the promotion
OF the public welfare than they
are interested IN the success of
individual members OF the COM
munity, to exert their influence
towards securing the ablest and
best fitted men for those Offices,
whether they be of one faction
or another.
