BOSSlER PARISH FAIR.

The second annual Parish Fair will be
held at Plain Dealing next week. This
will be the fourth fair held in Bossier Par
ish, the first two being held at Benton in
1899 and 1900. The three previous fairs
were credit to the parish, and demon
strated what our people could do in the
way of exhibits.
Last year the Bossier Parish Fair was
awarded by the State Fair at Shreveport
the $500 prize offered for the best collection
and display of parish products made by
any parish in the State. This was indeed
gratifying to our Fair managers in partic-
ular and the people generally, and the
sentiment still exists to again win this prize.
Long ago we dwelt upon the benefits a
parish derives from a fair of the first grade,
and view of last years fair proves that
those benefits will be real and far reaching.
The spirit of competition will appeal to the
pride of producers. Once their pride is
aroused, they will be stimulated to more
earnest efforts in their respective fields of
industry. The farmer will endeavor to
grow better vegetables, potatoes, grain,
and fruits, the florist will do his utmost to
develop more perfect flowers, the stock
raiser will exert himself to produce finer
horses, cattle and pigs; the housewife will
resolve to make more lucious preserves and
more artistic embroideries. And so the
germ Of hustle, 8 the spirit of "up-and-
doing" and the desire to excel will get in

their work and spread like a beneficent
contagion. If every producer in the parish
fell under the influence of the fever of ac-
ton it can be readily forseen what would
happen. The products of Bossier would
reach higher standard than ever before.
Crops would be better, live stock would be
better, the soil would be better, and the
people themselves would be better. With
these would come greater wealth for all,
which would mean better homes, better
schools and better roads. This sounds
visionary, perhaps. But who can safely
say that the right sort of a Parish Fair,
run on the right scale, will not lead to such
conditions?

Prof. Henry E. Chambers, of New Or
leans, is now mentioned as a probable
candidate for Superintendent of Public
Education. Prof. Chambers is a distin-
guished educator and is we'll qualified for
this important office. We think there ought
to be two candidates for Superintendent OF
Public Education. Those opposed to Mr..
Aswell and his methods ought to have a
candidate to support, and we hope Prof.
Chambers will enter the race. We have
no sympathy with the policy of eliminating
candidates which has seemed to prevail in
regard to this place.

HENERY E. CHAMBERS.
Mansfield Journal.f

Efforts are being made to induce Prof.
Henry E. Chambers, of New Orleans, to
become candidate for the office of State
Superintendent of Education. The can
didacy of Prof. Chambers will be received
with pleasure by the people of the State
who do not endorse the system now in
vogue in the State superintendent office.
In communication which appears else
where in the Journal, the merits of Prof.
Chambers are set forth in a manner which
will convince the unprecedented voter of the
professors eminent fitness to hold the re-
sponsible position of Superintendent Of the
State schools. Prof. Chambers is not a
politician and would, therefore, if elected,
90 into office unhampered and untrammel-
ed.
The journal does not propose to detract
from Superintendent Aswell any good thing
that official has done for the cause of pub
lie education. He has done some good
work. tut, after all, he has done no more
than his duty. But the system he inaugu-
rated has, in several instances, done harm,
grievous harm, and for so doing he ought
to be held responsible for it at the ballot
box. His interference with parish boards,
composed of men who were legally ap-
pointed and commissioned, and who had
rights as officials as we'll as he, shows that
he is not broad-gauged as an officer, and
his punishment of these men, through his
influence with the State Board Of Educa-
ton, stamps him as man who permits his
prejudices to overcome his judgment. This
character of man is unfit for office Of any
kind.
We hope Prof. Chambers will make the
race. We believe he would make better
superintendent than the present incum.
bent, and for that reason we would vote
for him.

shreveport Caucasian.

Perhaps there may be an active opposi-
ton to Mr.. Aswell, the standing candidate
for reelection to the office of State Su-
perintendent of Public Education. The
great majority of the people who do not sub
scribe readily to the system, its plans and
its dictates, will rejoice in the anticipation
of there heing candidate to contest the
claim of the present incumbent.
In the past months several gentlemen,
prominent and honored educators, have
been suggested, but all these have disap
peared from view leaving on the mind the
impression that some silent yet all-power-
full influence has been directed towards the
elimination Of all prospective aspirants in
opposition to the reelection of Mr.. Aswell.
How far this influence has been directed it
is idle to conjecture, but it would now seem
that candidate in every sense worthy and
capable of filling acceptably and creditably
this high Office will venture against Mr..
Aswell in Mr.. Henry E. Chambers of New
Orleans, who is known to the Caucasian by
reputation and whose personality is out
lined in the communication which should be
perused by all classes of the people. If
Mr.. Chambers will become an active cam
didate the Caucasian will not hesitate in
giving him its support, support it is will
ling and ready to give to a gentleman pos
sesing the ability and the character requi-
site to fill the office of State Superintendent
of Public Education.

That efforts will be made during the next
legislature to cut off appropriations for

is plainly evident.-Boton Rouge Truth.
Better cut off the appropriation than
have the State overrun with the undersira-

Shreveport Caucasian.
Why not abolish the office and let the
money which is spent in securing unde-
sirable citizens be appropriated for the
support of the schools of the State? Every
dollar of the money of the State now spent
uselessly should be diverted to the school
fund.

We hope that in the future the people of

who can not be coerced by any Cover

an official or lobbyist is a disgrace to
any State.

 Even though it involves financial saeri- flee, he said that it Is the policy of the Southern Railway company to bring this about if possible and the public served by the Southern Railway in states where there is no legislation on this subject, such as South Carolina, can rest assured that their interests in the matter will be fully protected by voluntary action on the part of his company.
 He is encouraged to believe that this policy has already commended itself to the authorities of some of the states. and will have a successful outcome, and he has no doubt that the results will inaugu- rate an era of cooperation and harmony between interests that are in reality one and the same.

 Although the courses of the College of Political Sciences are already in active operation, and, indeed, the largest in crease in attendance at the George Wash ington university this year has been shown in this department, nevertheless there is room for its being organized and endowed on a larger scale Dr. Harlan Is confident that some plan will be worked out in accordance with which the state department will cooperate in very practical way in preparing men who wish to apply for appointment. As a specific example, a young man might have in mind to become an American consul to one of the German cities. He would find in the state department at Washington and in the consular agencies in Germany a great volume of correspondence bear ing on the commercial and trade rela- tions between the Fatherland and the

 In accordance with the reforms insti- tuted by Secretary Root, young men m all the leading colleges are now being urged to consider the diplomatic service as offering a field for career.
