$1,000 ASKED OF CITY COUNCIL

The City Council has been
asked to make an appropriation
of one thousand dollars toward
the good roads demonstration
by the government at Lafayette.
Mr.. Grow ,Girard appeared
before the Council last Friday
night and, after explaining the
practical benefits that would
accrue to the town as a result of
this movement for better roads.
he strongly recommended that
the appropriation be made. DR..
Moss was present and endorsed
in every particular the views
expressed by Mr.. Girard, and
Ex.mayor Gallery also gave his
appreciation of the reasons ad-
vanced in favor of the appro-
priation.
The discussion of the subject
by the mayor and councilmen
showed a proper appreciation of
its value and Importance to the
business interests of Lafayette,
but final action was postponed
until tO-night's meeting of the
Council. In view of the large
and direct interest the town
unquestionably has in this
undertaking it would not only be
an entirely legitimate expendi.
ture of public money to make
this appropriation, but to with
hold the aid in question will
seriously initiate against the
successful accomplishment of a
work of far reaching influence
for good to the people of the
town and parish of Lafayette.

"A THEIR DUTY.

The State Board of Education
at their meeting on the Doth
passed resolutions which affect
twenty-five parish superinten-
dents: ten are asked to resign.
ten are TO be investigated and
five are not qualified because
they are not giving their un.
divided time to the schools while
drawing sufficient pay to do so.
The Board announces that it is
their purpose to enforce the law
which requires a practical edu.
Gator to I'LL the Office of superin-
tendent and that he must
measure up to the definition of
practical educator as given by
the Board.
Internationally it is the
b0unden duty of the State
Board as well as every citizen of
the State to observe the law, and
in the case of the Board which
occupies an executive position it
is their duty as well as that OF
other executive officers to en-
force the law. The law which
devolves. upon the State Board
OF Education to enforce is, of
course, the law relating to
schools, and they should enforce
it positively and without any
f~avorites. It is eminently with
in their duties to interpret
where no interpretation has
been made and their interpreta-
ton must stand until proven
wrong. In the present case
regarding the parish superin-
tendents, the decision of the
Board to interpret the term
practical educator, and we
believe that the Board has done
so properly and conscientiously
was necessary; they could not
we'll fail to do so and discharge
their honest duty. The an
nouncement last week that they
proposed to enforce their in.
terpretation is exactly the
proper thing for them to have
done. and the next thing fol-
them IL do is enforce it.

MONEY MAD,
President Schurman of Cornell
Delivers Sc0rching Sermon
on American Life

Chicago Tribune.
President Jacob Gould Schur-
man of Cornell University de-
livered a remarkable address on
the universal craze for wealth
tonight before the union meet
ing of the associated academic
principals of the State of New
York. He said:
IF a visitor from Mars alight-
ed on our continent he would
hear the pulpits proclaim 'Glorify
God,' but he would find it the
general practice to 'Glorify Cold
Are we then in this twentieth
century to revert to the barbar-
Gus worship of Mammon? Are
Americans to renOunce their
Christian heritage? Are they to
repudiate the Hebrew law of
righteousness? Are they to
disclaim the Hellenic call to
reason and beauty? Are they to
spurn the dignity and glory of
mankind in order to concentrate
all their energies on the gratifi-
cation of the acquisitive instincts
which we possess in common
with brutes, and which when
exclusively followed and satisfied,
only leave US more cOmplacently
and more helplessly british?
BEG IN HOLY GHOSTS NAME.
THE universal passion for
money and whatever money
buys is an alarming phenomenon.
1t has been nourished by the
colossal material prosperity of
the age. 1t has allied itself with
the ambition of the American
youth to succeed in the world.
We naturally should expect that
it would have met invincible op-
position from religion; but
religion, already weakened by
the decline of dogmatic faith,
and falling back on it's institu-
tions and organizations, itself
has been tempted too often to
purchase gifts for the Holy
Ghost with money. Well the
craze may endure for a season,
but disillusionment is certain.
The cardinal maxim of such
an age is Put money in Thy
purse And whether the money
be thine or thy neighbors, is a
matter of little moment.
FEAR NO GOD OR HE'LL.
1t is q generation which has
no fear of God before it's eyes;
it fears no hell; it fears nothing
but the Criminal Court, the
penitentiary, and the scaffold.
To escape these ugly avengers
Of civil society is it's only
categorical imperative, the only
law with which its Sinai thun-
ders.
ITO get there and not get
caught is it's only golden rule.

this age will rob the widow and

TO RESUME HEARINGS
COMMISSION CONSIDERING ABUSE
OF MAIL RATES.

The joint commission OF Congress to in
vestigate alleged abuses In the use OF sec
ond-class mail matter will meet at the
Capitol tomorrow to resume its hearings.
The commission sat in New York one week
in the first part of October and there heard
many witnesses. The witnesses who will
appear Monday will be volunteers who have
notified the commission that they would
like TO be heard.
The joint commission consists OF Senator
Penrose chairman of the Senate committee
on post offices and post roads: Senator's
Carter and Clay. and Representatives. over
street Gardner of New Jersey and Moon
of Tennessee. Mr.. Henry IL. Classic Is
secretary of the commission and Mr. II. b.
Nixon is its special disbursing off >sr.
The commission was authorized during
the last session of Congress to investl-
gate. consider and report by bill, or other
wise. to Congress its findings and recon-
mendations regarding second-claSs mail
matter" The subject Of the com nj ssion's
investigation covers such large field that
1t is doubtful whether 1t will be able to
report to Congress early In the coming
session. The fact that much advertising
matter Is distributed as second-class mail
matter without the conditions that formerly
applied to such matter is the basis Of the
complaints that have been made. II has
been shown that so-called magazines have
been published and distributed devoted al
most exclusively to advertisements, with
little or no reading matter and with prac-
tically no paid circulation. The commits
sion will undertake TO determine what shall
be the nature of periodicals that are al
lowed the advantages of second-class mail
matter in their distribution.
