SNARI.

In DeSoto parish the school board is
in snarl The issue is over Mr.. Goss,
superintendent, whose resignation has
been requested and demanded by the
State Board of Education. The reason
for the removal of Mr.. Goss is that he
is not qualified, as he is not teacher
The old school board are standing un-
finchingly by Mr. Goss. The old board
will not resign nor give way to the new
appointments, and the whole proceedings
will be aired in the courts. If Mr.. Goss
is to be. removed because he is not a
teacher, and being a lawyer he can not
neglect his profession to give all his per-
sonal attention to the school, why is that
this edict is not applied to others who
are not teachers, but who are the super
intendents of the schools in other par
|ishes?

JUDGE S. McC. LAWRASON
A Clip from the True Democrat of St
Francisville.

In a quiet way he has always. been
held in high esteem in party councils.
He has been a member of the State Cen
tral Committee and on its executive
committee has done much important
work. For yea6 a tireless worker fer
the primary eleEtion, and one of the
very first to remommend it to the party,
he was one of the committee which
drew up rules for the first primary in
advance of any statute on the subject.
The origin of the primary idea in this
State may Justly be credited to him, as
this paper had mentioned it concerning
him long before others advanced it in
the city press.
He has served most acceptably in the
State Senate Act 1888 of 1893, a gem
eral law highly beneficial to the smaller
municipal corporations, was adapted by
him to our peculiar conditions from a
law passed in sister State.
At present he devotes his time to his
professional duties, to the presidency OF
| the Bank of West Feliciana, and to
membership on the Louisiana State Uni-
versity Board, and in this interval OF
political leisure might well assume the
duties of Lieutenant Governor.
His distinguished services, his high
character .entitle him to consideration
and if the question of section has any
thing to do with the matter the voters OF
Louisiana should remember that tf1i:
section has no representation on the
State ticket, nor has had for many years
and occupying as it does station be-
tween north and south Louisiana shoule
not be ignored. Judge Lawrason HIM
self from personal circumstances IS pc
culiarly adapted to represent the inter
ests of both north and south Louisiana
Its people can do no better than cleo
/ him.

JUSTICE IS MARVELLOUS
An Appeal Against Resort to Violence.
The Law Must Be Vindicated, Says
the States.

In an editorial on the kidnapping and
murder of Walter Lamana, the New
Orleans States says:
''To resort to violence now would be
to defeat the ends of justice and to de-
stroy important evidence that will be
needed to convict all who are guilty. Be
sides, it is not improbable that one or
more of the criminals may have escaped
beyond the borders of Louisiana and
will be captured in other States. We
could not hope TO secure the extradition
of such prisoners if those we now have
in hand are not afforded the protection OF
the law and given fair trial. The in
terests of humanity would require the
Governor of Mississippi or Texas or
Alabama to refuse to hand over Grim
inal where surrender meant that he
would be lynched.
Justice is marvellous beautiful
principle, and in organized society is
must be administered according to the
forms of established law. Law is al that
we have between our homes and an
archy. 1t stands like the angel with
drawn sword upon the threshold of ev-
cry home in this broad land and enables
us to pursue our avocations in peace and
to lie down and sleep securely at night.
With sleepless vigils it watches over our
homes, our wives and our children, and
protects them from the malevolent
narauder
"Woe be to the land that disregards
law, and to the people who wantonly
outrage its benehcent principles. When
such things prevail, the dragons teeth
are sown from which armed. men spring
up to devastate and destroy everything
in their wake. We are in the midst of
a momentous crisis, but above the wrath
of man, above the roaring tumult of the
waves of passion, Justice sits passion
less, inexorable, supreme, and there is
safe and sure deliverance.
The law will do its perfect work. Let
us be patient, inhexible and determined
and all will be we'll Our own people
control the courts of justice, and upon
the benches of these courts sit men ex-
perienced, learned in rhe law, lovers OF
Justice and firm and courageous for the
right. Under the conditions now con-
fronting lis we may depend upon it that
they will tolerate no trifing with JUS
tice, nor permit mere teehnicalities to
bar the way to the speedy elimination
of the whole affair.
The ordeal is a trying one, but moth
ing can be gained by impetuous passion
or summary violence. The law must
be vindicated, and we are convinced that
it will mete out justice promptly and un-
erringly. If, by any unfortunate cir
cumstance this tower of defense of a
free people should fail us, then it will
be time enough to talk about other rem
edies; but the time for such talk is not
yet, and may God grant that it shall
never be.

AN AFFIDAVIT
Prof Blanton Called to Account-Must
Prove That Prof Staudt Was DIS
honest" Etc.

At 80 O'Clock this afternoon the fol-
lowing affidavit was filed in the City
Court:
State of Louisiana, Parish # Caddo:
Personally came and appeai>d before
me, R. D. Webb, City Judge il and for
the City of Shreveport, J. S. Staudt,
who by me being duly sworn. says that
one ]. P. Blanton did on or about the
10Th day of June, 1907, at and in the
parish and State aforesaid, and in the
City of Shreveport, publicly defame and
SANDER affiant in that said Blanton did
then and there in presence of large
number of persons then assembled say
publicly and openly of affiant and use
with reference to him the following Ian
guage, or words of similar import:
With sufficient knowledge of the sub
jects to give instruction, he was thor
oughly dishonest in all his methods and
had absolutely no control whatever of
his classes. Confusion and disorder
was the rule whenever his classes were
in session"
That said statement so made by said
Blanton was false and untrue and was
made by him thus publicly for the pur-
pose of defaming and injuring your af-
hant, he the said Blanton meaning there
by to reflect on the integrity and good
name of affiant and to injure him in his
profession as school teacher, and at
the time that the same was made, the
said Blanton knew the same to be abso
lutely false and it W. s made with the
malicious purpose by the said Blanton
to defame and bring into disrepute the
good name of~afhant.
Wherefore affiant prays that said J.
P. Blanton be apprehended and dealt
with according to law.
