PROF. ASWELL
Will the State Superintendent Of Edu-
cation Have Opposition?

Over in Lafourche there is evidence
IF wish to see more than one candr-
late for State Superintendent of public
education. The Thbodaux Sentinel of
this week has the following:
1T is too early yet to tell whether
there will be any serious opposition to
Mr. Aswells denomination, but we
u1ow there is considerable restiveness
,mong the people over the arrogance of

DDS of the State Board of Education in
IMPOSING their views on the people willy
nilly, have aroused much antagomsm III
various parts of the State, and left a
bad taste in the mouths of many.
whether rightly or not, the boards
ligh-handed measures are credited, III
the popular mind, to the distinguished
State Superintendent of Public Educa-
ion, who may yet have to bear the
brunt of reprisals at the polls. If the
tide of popular discomfort rises to its
full height, nothing not even the most
strenuous efforts of the schoolmen trust,
recently built up in the State, can save
the distinguished educator from impend
ing defeat.
The peoples vote against the million
dollar bond issue ought to have proven
sufficient warning to some, on whom it
seems to have made no impression.
Verify, there are snags ahead. Will
the ingenuity and skill of the pilot prove
equal to the task of steering clear of
them?
1--WE shall see.
Is it possible that every one of the
several of the early mentioned candi
dates have been persuaded to give way
to Aswell?
There is a strong and steadily grow
ing opposition to Aswell and the auto
cratic system which is being resented by
the people.
If there should be no opposition to
Aswel. it will devolve on the people to
defeat the amendment projected, to raise
the superintendent salary from $1,000
to $1,000 when submitted for ratifca
ton. What the people want and should

FAST WORK WITH LEGISLATIVE
EXAMINATIONS.
ELIGIBLE LISTS READY
Certified for Appointments to Proper
Officers and Committees-Great
Task of Commission Expeditiously
Performed Without Hinderlng
Work of Session.
Madison. Jan. Is.


A recital of the history OF the re-
cent examination for legislative en-
ploves is interesting as showing what
>the, civil service commission can do
in emergencies. The opinion OF the
attorney general was handed to the
commission on Saturday, December
20 at noon. This compelled quick
work in order to be ready for the leg
islature, which met on January 3.
Sundays and nights were utilized.
Before o'clock on december 80 the
circulars and letters were prepared
and mailed out to more than 5OO
newspapers and to all the members
of the legislature.
By Thursday of the same week all
the questions had been prepared ana
mimeographed and sent out to about
90 local examiners in different parts
of the state. Then examination was
held on January and the papers re-
turned. assorted, marked, identified,
eligible lists made up and the notices
mailed out by January IL.
The enormity of this task is shown
by the fact that about 400 took the
examinations and many OF these took
the examinations tor two or more po-
sitions. In addition to tins the appli-
cation blanks were mailed out and
registered. as we'll as the voucher
blanks to persons who could give in
formation concerning the applicants.
In all about 1000 papers were hand
led. The papers were All carefully
read and marked and a complete re-
cord of the work of each candidate is
on file at the office so that he can
readily see how he was marked and
that Justice was done him. The APP
plicants are widely distributed geo
graphically and an unusually good
body of men are on the eligible lists
for eertification.
The work was finally competed on
Monday night for the first day Of act
ual legislation which was on Tuesday.
All the Qualifications were made tc
the assembly on Monday night and
partial list sent to the senate at the
request of Senator Morris, while the
remaining certifications were ready
awaiting the request of the commit
tee on employees of the senate. In
short, In just l6 days from the receipt
of the opinion of the attorney general,
400 persons were examined in rs diff
ferent places in the state, involving
the handling of 1000 papers, the eligi-
BILE lists prepared and the certifica-
tons made to the legislature. This is
a record over which the friends of
the civil service commission are
proud.
The appointments for legislative
positions have not yet been made, so
the commission was ready with the
eligfbies in ample time. The day of
'sna4" legislative positions has gone,
for the number now allowed on the
pay roll is only about half carried in
the palny days of patronage.

Quiet in the House.

Washington, Jan. 15.-Taking but a
brief time to pass the legislative,
executive and judicial appropriation
bill, carrying nearly $31,uOO,000, the
senate devoted the remainder of the
day to the Brownsville affray. Pres
| ident Roosevelt's message, acconpa-
MED by many additional affidavits ID
cigar box of bullets and empty cart
ridge shells, was received, read end
ordered printed. Speechmaking on
the subject then began and continued
until $50
Senator Mallory, indorsing the &C
ton of the president, opened the dis
cussion. He held that the president
might have gone too far in preventing
the reenllstment of the soldiers in
volved, but otherwise he approved
the presidents order of discharge.
When Senator Clay who followed,
took the floor, the debate was given a
lively turn by senator Tillman's IN
terruptions. Senator Clay said that
the people of Georgia heartily en-
dorsed the presidents action Senat-
or Bacon followed with what he said
was reported as a precedent for lie
Brownsville order in the discharge OF
a company OF South Carolina national
guardsmen by Senator Tillman when
he was governor This involved Sen
ator Tillman again in the debate.
Spooner in the Thick of 1t.
Senator Spooner was in the midst
of a constitutional discussion of the
authority of the president in the case
when adjournment was taken. Senat-
or Spooner holds that when the
president exercises his powers as
commander-in-chi of the army, the
senate has no jurisdiction to review
his actions. He also contended that
congress has no power to legislate
specifically to restore soldiers dis.
charged in the present case, declaring
that review can only be had by i'm
parchment proceedings, which must
originate in the house of representa-
tiVeS
Several senators have indicated
that they intended to discuss the ques
ton and the Brownsville debate IS
therefore likely to absorb the atten-
ton of the senate for several days
Blacks Ruled by Passion.
During his speech on the Browns

cism of the president by negro mass
meeting at Boston.

A negro, he said, held me most iu-
crative federal Office in Florida as

against DR.. Crum, a negro, made eel

But" added Senator Mallory, the
patriots of Boston, who probably are
the best representatives of the col
ored race in this country, the most
enlightened and highly educated, al
low themselves to be carried away by
the passion of a moment, unable to
look fairly and squarely at a PROPOSE
ton which should be judged justly
and honestly, forget that they are I'M
der great obligations to the president
and send forth denuncaation OF the
best friend they have ever had in that
office. They will allow passion to
get the better of their judgment on
almost all OCCASIONS"
Quiet in the House.
The house spent most of the day
considering legislation pertaining 20
the District of Columbia, and pro
posed a number of bills, after which
consideration of the Notifications ap-
preparation bill was resumed. The
message of the president regarding
the Colorado river was read
Sell Powder inventions.
A circular sent to the members of
congress stating that certain naval
officers who had invented grades of
smol;eless powder had sold their in
ventions to the Dupont Powder com
pany, was the subject Of considerable
discussion yesterday in the house
while the Notifications appropriation
bill was under consideration. Mr..
Hepburn insisted that the govern
ment could afford to go into the man
ufacture Of powder if men educated
at public expense were permitted to
sell their inventions to companies
selling their output to foreign govern
ments. Mr.. Smith of Iowa, chairman
Of the subcommittee on appropria-
tions, said that he had investigated
the charges and could find no grounds
for them
Mr.. Clark of Missouri wanted to
know if it was not true that General
Crozier had stated in an interview
that the government was paying %
per cent more for powder than it
would cost the government to manu-
facture it.
Mr. Smith replied that it was true
of metallic ammunition. He was in
favor of manufacturing a powder in
government plants, if proven cheaper.
Mr. Hull of Iowa said that the mill
tary affairs committee had stricken
from the bill a provision to purchase
such ammunition from private parties
though the government could manu-
facture it cheaper.
