Let 1t Be

Louisiana School Review.
Isn't it about time to call of
the satirical references to the
department of education? 1t
is only ordinary and common
place--and not at all an innova-
tion-for that portion of the
public service devoted to educa-
tional affairs in any State to be
called the department of educa-
ton. There is nothing "top-loft-
ical'' about it; nothing undemo-
cratic and no putting on airs;
it's just plain department of
education, as distinguished from
department of state, agriculture
and immigration, executive, etc.
Let it be.

What to Publish.

At the recent meeting of the
Tennessee Press association in
Nashville Major Stahlman,
editor and publisher of the
Nashville Banner, discussing
publicity, set a high standard
for newspapers. He said in
part:
1t is the duty of the press to give
publicity only where it will accom-
plish more good than harm and to
avoid publicity when it will accom-
plish more harm than good. For ex-
ample, the newspapers are frequently
called upon to give publicity to things
that affect family relations. While
some papers do this because it is sen.
sational matter, l believe when such
things cause heart burns for the
mother or daughter .or a crushing
blow to the father they should not be
published unless the public demands
it.
Even where publicity is given to the
conduct of men in Office the newspa-
pers should be careful that 70 charge
is published which is not we'll authen-
ticated. When a charge OF dereliction
in Office is made the newspaper owes
it to itself and the public to go to the
bottom of the matter.
Publicity as to corporations is what
the people need. The people are be-
read more than ever before,

The Cane Crop
Louisiana Planter.

Louisiana Planter.
The weather during the past
week has been favorable for the
cane crop except for the fact
that it has been a little too cool.
We are now in need of warm,
showery weather to promote the
growth of vegetation and bring
the cane out to a stand. Reports
concerning the stubble crop
seem to be a little more optimis-
tic, but nothing definite can be
told concerning it until the
weather gives 1t a chance to come
up out of the ground and speak
for itself. The weather since
the first of January has shown a
marked deficiency in tempera-
ture,' all of which has had it's
effect on the crop and made it
very backward. The general
situation incites more confidence
in the final outcome, but a re-
covery entirely remedying the
injuries from the low tempera-
ture and excessive rains is
hardly probable.

work of building a nation. And
with this object in view | intend
to speak plainly, if not pointedly,
about some things which greatly
tend to detract from the eff
cheney and usefulness of a
teacher in the community, and
inevitably react to the injury of
school work in general.
You should know that a man
or woman. from the mere fact of
being a school teacher, is ex-
pected to live an exemplary life.
This is as it should be, because,
in assuming to lead and instruct
the young, the teacher must
necessarily stand as a model or
pattern for the child or pupil,
and becomes an object of per-
sOnal interest to the parents.
who are naturally sOlicitOus
about the welfare of their
children. A teacher may not,
for this reason. talk glibly or be
giddy like other folk, or be guilty
OF any improperly. however
slight, or say or do indiscreet
things. without attracting special
and without creating
unfavOrable comment. Nor will
frivolous conduct be condemned
less severely by public opinion
because enacted thoughtlessly
or with innocent intention.
In entering upon the duties of

MRS. TOLLE SAVED FROM GALLONS
Hope Vow That Mrs, Valentine VIII Re.
ceiNe q Full Pardon.

TRENTON, March 9,-The Court of Par
dons to-day committed the death penalty of
Mrs. Antoinette Tolla, who was under sem
tence to be hanged in Hackensack next
Monday, 10 a term of seven and a half years
in State prison. With the communication al
lowed in New Jersey for good behavior,
this will make the actual term about five
years.
The vote for the Communication Of sem
tence was five to two, Chancellor Magic
and Judge Elmer Ewing Green Of this city
voting to carry out the death penalty.
Counsel for Mrs. Tolla applied for an
absolute pardon for the woman, instead
of for a Communication to a term of life i'm
prisonment. 1hi was based upon the
fact that the trial Judge had determin ed
that newly discovered evidence offered
was sufficient to Justify a new trial, while
the Supreme Court had held that. the con-
viction having been firmed the law courts
had lost jurisdiction and Coul not reopen
the Judgment.
The majority Of the Court Of Pardons
acceded to this view, and agreed to the
plea Of cou sci that it should, under the
circumstances, sit as a jury and trial court
in the consideration OF the new evidence.
H~ACKENsACK, \. D., March 9.-Ihe news
that the Court Of Pardons had committed
Antoninette Tolla's sentence OF hanging
to seven and a half years in State prison
occasioned universal expressions of sur
prise here among all classes. There was a
feeling that she might be saved from the
gallows, but nobody anticipated action
such as was taken by the court of last re-
sort.
Prosecutor Rooster declined to be inter
viewed further than to say that it was a
surprise to him, and that he knew of NJ
new evidence and no new circumstances
in the case calculated to Great a change
of sentiment such as was indicated by the
courts action.
When Mrs. Tolla was informed of her good
fortune she at first wept, apparently not
understanding the message impaired TO
her, but when the situation was made clear
she was overloyed.
Father Lambert visited her in prison this
morning and found her very nervous, owing
to uncertainty as to the court s action.
There il a general expression of opinion
that. in view of this action Of the court of
Pardons toward Mrs. Tofla, Mrs. Valentino
should receive a full pardon, MS there was
aggra walton in her case while Mrs. Tolla's
crime was deliberate.

Koch Of circulating improper matterthrough
the mails. Comstock. as special post office
inspector, had arrested Richards and had a
long talk with him at his lComstock'sl office
in Nassau street before taking him before
the Commissioner.
Assistant District Attorney Francis j.
Carmody was conducting the examination
of Richards, but Comstock took the en-
animation into his W hands.
"Do you mean to say, " he saidto Richards,
who had protested at one of his state
monts, that you didn't admit your guilt to
me in my office"
Miller objected. "Mr. C%armody," he
said, 81 deny that my client made any such
statement as that or that if he did it should
he used against him, Mr.. Comstock has only
lone in this case what he has often done be-
fore in he way of browbeating his prisoner.
This Richard is a Frenchman. ignorant Of
English. Comstock took advantage Of this
mans ignorance to get him to make state
e n derogatory to himself, saying that
they would he used only against his part
ner, not against himself. No court ought
to take such testimony"
Comstock, who apparently had not lost
his temper, then said according to all the
bystanders: you are a liar" No smile
went with it.
Miller didn't wait to handy words, but
hit out. His RICH, caught Comstock fair in
the left eye, his left staggered him with a
crack on the other. The third swing was
in the air when Deputy Ma rshal Ankner
rushed in and knocked up Miller's arm,
which only brushed the Comst ock jaw.
Commissioner Shields had been rappinC
for order. Comstock then asked the COM
missioner for protection.
This is an utterly u%nprovoked assault
on a Federal officer. | assert my right to
protection "a a Federal officer, he said.
The white haired COMMISSIONS said some
thing under his breath about some things
being deserved. Comstock then appealed
to the byEtanders. They were busy con-
graduating Miller. Then ComStock tried To
get the District Attorneys Office to swear
ont a warrant. Nothing doing there. At
last accounts he was still looking for sym
patty and protection.
