"such suggestive yells are certainly

Are Business Men Fair?

We have received a handsomely en-
graved and printed booklet descriptive
of the summer normal school of the
Louisiana State University, to be held
at Baton Rouge during the month OF
June. This is a very attractive clrcu-
lar, but it bears the imprint OF a Chi
cago-New York concern, showing that
the state institutions prefer to patron
iZe foreign houses rather than spend
their funds, donated by the taxpayers,
herein Louisiana. Certainly this work
could have been done just as well and
just as cheaply at home.
We hear a great deal, especially
from the higher educational institu-
tions, about developing our resources
and equipping the home folk for the
arts and sciences and higher ideals
of life. This is theoretical. In actual
practice we find these same people
sending away from home for those
things which can be obtained at their
very doors.
The directors of this normal school
are not the execution: they are follow
ing ia the footsteps of thousands OF
others who preach the doctrine OF pa
tronizing home industries, but follow
the general practice of sending away
from home for every article they car
possibly get abroad with the least de-
gree of Observation-Disclosures

LETTER 70 REV. FATHER COOLS.
Welsh, La.

Rev. Sir: We should like to ask
your advice on certain thing done:
was it right or wrong? We shall have
to state it, including names.
D. f. Dreicorn, is a painter in
HolyOke, Mass. John j. DOnohue is
an architect, Springfield, nearby.
DOnOhue was building, at HOlyOke,
the Holy Family Institute, letting the
work by bids, as usual. Dreicorn got
the paint job; the paint was to be
lead and-oil.
But DrecOrn said to himself:
lead and-O isn't half SO good as
DevOe and it costs more money, what
shall [ do?' He painted DevOe: and,
after the work was done, told Dono-
hue, saying: "if that isn't better than
any lead and-oil job, III make it So"
Was Dreicorn right or wrong in
painting a lead-andoil job Devoe?
You asked how it turned0ut. This
was six years ago. Now DOnOhue
has another Job there, big addition
to the Catholic Hospital; and he
doesn't ask bids for the painting, but
SAYS to DreicOrn: go ahead Drel-
corn and give me as good a JOB as
you did on the Institute. That's the
best job | ever saw
The question IS: WAS Dreicorn
right in painting Devoe when he had
agreed to paint lead-and-oil:"
That isn't quite all. Lead-and-oiI
is expected to last three years. Il
Dreicorn had used lead-and-oil, there
would have been another job for hin
or somebody-else three years ago.
Was lie right IN losing that JOB tol
himself or somebody-elSe three-yea
ago?
The Institute took POO gallons De
voc and cost $1,000; the paint ha'
worn six wears, when DOnOhue say:
cts the best job ever saw" If h'
had used lead-and-oil, it would have
cost about 5000 for the two balm job
(six and three years ago. and be hun
cry for paint again.
Dreicorn lost $1,000 of business ant
took the risk of making Donohue MAJ
and losing his business, forever; al
to save the Holy Family lnStitut
$l200, besides the fuss of paint JOB
Was Dreicorn right or wrong as
painter; and which would you pain
your church, lead and-oil or DeVoe
