MURDERER
CONFESSES

Charley Edmunds. eolored. alias
McAble, after wandering around the
country and sleeping in the woods
since last Friday night gave him
self up Monday night to the Clarks-
burg police, and was taken to Mar
ion county Tuesday by an officer
from Fairmont, to answer the charge
of shooting and wounding Mrs. Lucy
Yates, colored, at Monongah, Fri
day night Of last week.
Edmunds stated in the Clarks-
burg city Jail that he served a term
of six years in the penitentiary for
shooting Broadnax Williams, but
had been out two years. He said he
had been working on a tunnel on the
Morgantown & Kingwood railroad at
Albright, and after getting his pay
for the month he came to Clarks-
burg, enroute to zee Mrs. Yates, who
was friend of his.
In Clarksburg he purchased a
quart and a pint Of whiskey and a
pint of kimmel to take to her, as he
was accustomed to taking her. pres
.ents. He left Clsrksburg on the
a 10 O'Clock train in the afternoon
Friday for Monongah and went
straight to her house. -
There they got tot drinking and
he got drunk. While. in that con-
dition he pulled out agun and made
motions as if to shoto her, but only
intended for the bullet to pass by
her. However, the gun was dis
charged and the bullet struck her in
the breast. He fled and until the
hour of giving himself up roamed
over the hills and slept in the woods
between 5lonongah and Clarksburg.
but, when he got thoroughly sober,
he concluded the best thing to do
was to surrender to the authorities.
Edmunds is a bright negro, talks
intelligently and is of gcnteel APP
pearance. He appears to appreciate
the gravity of his crime and expects
a trip to the penitentiary for it.
Edmunds asserts that he is a
graduate Of both Yale and Harvard
colleges. lie is very emphatic
about it. He also sayst hat he is
graduate Of the Hampton, Va. Nor
NAL school, and that he finished a
course in theology at the Providence,
R. T., theological school.

IT IS INSPIRING

There something inspiring in the contemplation of Gov. Swinetord, past his allotted three score and ten andin feeble health, going to the national capital, there to engage in combat with youger men possessing the strong est kind of selfish motives to. spur them on to activity, all in behalf Of the plain people of Alaska and for the vim dicstion of the American principle oi selt-goverument that has been dtsre- garded by the federal congress in it's dealings with Alaska, The action of Gov, Swinetord in accepting this task is one of the highest patriotism. Should he be never so successful as on this mission the fruits of his labors will be for those whom be ere losg will leave behind when he steps from this worll to the great beyond.
 Gov. Swineford may feel assured that he takes with him ou his journey across the continent the gratitude and we'll wishes of his fsliow-Alas5ans, and that whether or not he accomplishes that which he so greatly deserves to accom- plish his name will ever be revered by the people of the great North for his self-sacrifciong labors ip their behalf, and by lovers of liberty and self-gov- erument wherever they may of his steadfasIuess in behalf of right, justice and truth.

Nothing could show more elarly low justiiiable have been the attacks on Standard Oil methods than this little piece of pettifoggery, Here we have one who has gretended to be one of the bulwarks of industry, commerce and finance in the greatest times of the greatest industrial, commercial and f. nancial nation the world has ever known, and who has been so recogniz- ed, putting himself on a par with the sneak thief and the pick-POcket in the police courts by rcsorting to their methods to keep the light from being turned on him. It is no wonder that Mir. Rogers has not had Mir. Lawson ar rested for calling him a thief, bandit and robber. Like the man of the mask, jimmy and back alley, he is afraid of the light.

Charged with Horse-stealing

Charged with Horse-steaIing.
Last week Deputy Sheriff Peck
arrested a negro by the name of
Robert Alexander near Eunice,
charged with having stolen a
horse from near CarencrO. The
negro is said to have stolen a
horse at Eunice which he brought
to this parish and disposed of,
and on his way back lifted
another horse which he sold in
Eunice. The second horse was
one too many and got him in
trouble-anOther illustration of
the old saying, that there is such
a thing as too much of a good
thing.

a right to demand that the
superintendent shall devote his
entire time to the public schools,
hence editors and lawyers who
have held these positions, devot-
ing such hours to them as they
can spare from the law or
journalism, have been asked to
give way.
There will be in all some
twenty-five superintendencies
changed, or nearly half of those
in the entire State. This will
remove, to some extent, the
baneful influence of politics
upon our schools, although there
are still some reforms to be
made in this direction. The
work, however, has been well
begun, and the good results that
will follow the placing of practi-
cal educators in charge, instead
of politicians, will unquestion.
ably stimulate the people to
demand still further improve
ments and the complete elimina-
ton of school politics.

Times Democrat.


The general owe rhauling going
on among the parish superinten-
dents Of education in Louisiana
is in line with the policy that has
prevailed ever since Mr.. Aswell
has been State Superintendent
OF Education; and it will un.
questionably have a good effect
on the public schools.
The weakness in regard to
these positions, it was realized
months ago, was due to the fact
that a great deal of politics had
crept into the public schools,
into the parish Boards of Educa-
ton, and even into the office of
parish superintendent. When
the fact was brought out that
these positions, which should be
absolutely free Of politics, if any
in the State should be, were
filed By members Of the Legisla-
ture and other local bosses,
there were such vigorous pro-
tests that a number Of resigna-
tions followed.
H
The work of reform has not
stopped here, however. Under
the suggestion of the recent
convention, that the
observation-disclosures should be prac-
Teal educators. the State Board
of Education adopted a resOlu-
ton to that effect. A number of
other changes have been made,
and there are others that will
soon follow. The board takes
the view that the parishes have

Blenk was the assistant and

In his important missions and
rendered such valuable service
that he received the appointment

reward. His ability and eminent
services in his new and trying
duties have won further appro-
baton and it is practically GER
tain that the pope will confirm
the nomination.
