are pure or vicious. In de-
mocracy-a government by
the people and for the peo-
lie, these influences, whether
for good or i'll, must and do
emanate from the expressed
will Of the majority Of the
people themselves. Ii the
great body of the electorate
becomes listless, careless, or
corrupt, the government
which it controls Of necessity
must be weak, effeminate, or
vicious. In other words, the
eternal and incorruptible
vigilance of the electorate is
the price of a wise, forceful
and beneficent government.
The policy Of a State de-
pends entirely on the Sow
ereign power which creates
and directs it. It will be
wise and masterful; it will be
pure and great, just as that
Sovereign power, the people,
are patriotic, vigilant and in
corruptible. Suffrage is not
a natural or inherent right,
but it is a privilege granted
by the law-making power to
a certain class of citizens, or
rather to citizens having GER
tain qualifications, in any
republic or State.
In Louisiana, a male citi-
zen, who has reached the age
of majority, is a qualified
elector; but before he can ex-
ercise the privilege Of an
elector, before he can actual
ly cast his vote, he must first
pay a poll tax for two years
next preceding the year in
which his right Of voting is
to be expressed. The amount
required to be paid is insig-
ample within the
means of the poorest suffra-
gan. Yet the result is great
in bestowing upon him the
highest privilege Of an Amer
lean citizen, the right Of be-
ing a part and parcel of that
power which controls the des-
tiny of his State.
We know that a vast ma
jority Of the voters Of st.
Mary love their parish and
State, and want them to
prosper-want good govern

and patriotic men. You can

Teachers Institute to be Held
in Franklin.

| IN nfrdIlklI1.
A Teachers Institute of one week
will be held in Franklin beginning
Monday, Decem Der 3rd.
The work will be conducted by
Prof. Heckert training teachers OF
the State Normal School. and
Prot. Chas. Gott, principal OF the
St. Mary Central High Sch Dol.
State Institute Conductor j. r.
Keeny will be present part of the
time and deliver some interesting
lectures. J. B. Aswell, State Sup't.
of Public Education is expected
here to deliver lecture to the
teachers and the public.
One week Institutes are being
held in all the progressive par
fishes of the State. 1t is believed
and has been proven that the
teachers of a parish can accom-
plish more after weeks work IN
| an Institute, than they could, had
that week been spent in the ordl-
nary work of the school room.
The coming together of the COM
petent teachers OF St. Mary Parish
and discussing their work with
the leading educators OF the State
will add an impetus to education
| in ST.. Mary parish and the State.
Supt. D. N. Foster has notified
all teachers in the parish and
called their attention to the follow
ing extract from the School Law
Of Louisiana, relative to one week
institutes:
\ Every teacher'of common school
must attend the sessions upon penalty
for non attendance if satisfactory eX-
cuse has not been rendered to the par
ish superintendent, OF forfeltlng two
days pay. There shall be vacation
of the common schools OF the parishes,
to give opportunities to the teachers
to attend; and no reduction OF the
teachers salary shall be made during
said vacation, provided, he or she
was in attendance the full time OF the
session of the institute. These insti-
tutes. held under this section, shall as
far as possible, be held in some town
centrally located, and teachers from
as many parishes as can conveniently
attend shall be notified to attend. This
notice they shall obey, under the pen
atty before mentioned. Act OF 19O4.-
S. "A. A. 167.
The meeting will be held at the
High School Building, and all in
terested in the cause of education
are cordially invited to attend all
sessions. Special attention is
