Dear Sir Have you found this
out? You need less of Devoe lead
and-zinc for job than of anything
else less gallons; less money.
M A Thomas, painter, Lynch
burg, Va, has found it out; he
writes "The first job 1 did with
your paint l estimated 81 gallons;
had IL gallons left over. Since
then I have not used any other
kind of paint but Devoe lead-and-
zinc; I recommend it to all my
customers. When / commence a
job, l tack up a card reading as
follows: M A Thomas, contractor;
Devoe Paint"
Putting it on costs two or three
times as much as the paint. Have
you found this out? You can
paint Devoe in less time; less time;
less money.
Have you found this outp De-
voc wears longer than anything
else.
You don't object to long time
between jobs. Your customer likes
it. And you like what he likes.
1t keeps your customers.

Politics In Schools.
N. l. Leader.

1t would appear from the report
of the action of the State Board of
Education that an effort is serious
ly made to place the schools of
the state on a better footing, to eli
inmate much that is homogeneous
and to make the old system one of
actual benefit rather than a politi-
cal vast basket where the faithful
may find reward for their services.
In the attempt to rid the depart
wents of superintendent who have
no knowledge of educational mat
tiers and who are holding Office
simply to cash their warrants
which they regard as their share
of the spells, is step in the right
direction. The school department
is no place for such men.
If there is any place where ex-
per.s are needed it is in the school
department., the branch Of the gov
eminent that has the welfare of
the growing generation in it's
hands. To place any but a prac-
tical educationlist in the position
of Parish superintendent is absurd
on the face of it and the error
should have been corrected long
ago.
If we wish to have our teeth re-
paired we do not 60 to a shop pre-
sided over by a blacksmith. If
our watch needs regulating we do
not take it to boiler factory.
Why then should we be compell-
ed to send our children to a school
over whose teachers there is a su-
perintendent who once ran gro
Gerry store or who was a ward poll
tician by profession?
There are three departments of
public service in which politics
should cut no figure. These are
the School department, the depart.
ment of justice and the police.
Yet we find that everywhere poll
tics has crept in and unless some
decided stand is taken the en-
croachment will grow greater as
time goes on.
The question of education is the
most important one of the coun-
try. On it's proper conduct de-
ponds the dessiny of the nation
and even the most ardent politi-
clans recognize this. But there is
a class of politicians who cannot
resist the desire to have n finger
in every pie and it is this class we
have to guard against.
1t is presumed that the State
Board aimed its resolutions at
these gentlemen and that the de-
partment will be improved when
they shall left it of their own Volt
ton or by force.

The Plaquemine Locks.

The following brief information
in the Washington dispatches, un-
der of the 18th inst, indicate that
Congressman Broussard proposes
to again do all in his power to
hurry along the work Oh the Pla-
Quemine Locks-or at least let the
people of this section know the
cause, or causes, of the delays:
Representative Broussard to-
day had a conference with General
Mckenzie. Chief of Engineerts, in
regard to the delay in completing
the Plaquemine Lock project.
General Mckenzie promised to
have full detailed report made
for the Congressman's information
early next week."
The South" of Plaquemine, in
last November. after giving state
ment of what was then doing, and
what would be doing on the great
work in the near future, concluded
it's article as follows:
1T is huge piece of Govern
ment work, and although there
have been seeming unwarrented
delays in the past, such is not the
case now and the work is going on
just as rapidly as it could be ex-
pected under such circumstances.
Mr.. j. /. Conklin, the q. S. Engi-
neer here, has informed US that
Penn Bridge Company people have
been ordered to resume operations
and that the Otis Elevator people
are en- route. The delay. of course
is unfortunate, and we really be-
lieve that if our friends of the At
tskspas can remain "quiet" for
about two years longer they will
have the glorious opportunity of
celebrating the Opening of the
Lock-the making of the great
Erie Canal of the South"
The two years that 1--WE are to
wait are growing shorter, as time
swiftly rushes by on noiseless
wings. Knowing that there is
much to be done, the people of this
section want to know what the con-
tractors are doing" They would
like TO have confidence in the
statement that they shall have the
locks in two years from some def
mite period and that the two years
should not be ever future "to-mor-
row." Congressman Broussard's
act will, therefore, be heartily en-
dorsed by the people of the Teche
valley.-N. 1. IBERIAN.

Spelling reform had It's greatest
impetus when Andrew Carnegie
made an offer TO finance It, For
many years professors aud others
have been laboring TO nave the public
aerept reforms in the spelling OF Ger
taia words. The public, while admit
ting that the existing spelling is a
pathological monstros!ty, refused to
take kindly to the suggested changes,
When Andrew Carnegie announced
himself as a convert to the reform
the matter was discussed more than
AT any time within the past 100 years.
Mark Twain promised to take it up
after Mr.. Carnegie had announced
his conversion and had agreed to
finance the organization Of reformers
calling themselves the Simplified
Spelling Board. Of which Brander
Matthews is the president of the Ex-
ecutive Bonri.
This board announced at the be-
ginning that it did not propose any
