THE Law and
JUSTICE

Law ought to be the voice of jus.
tice. In its administration 1t very sell
dom is. Its Interpreters should be
among the ablest, the wisest and the
most impartial of men. They are fre
quently nothing of the sort. The courts
high and low, should be the protectors
of the injured, the humble, the friend.
less and the oppressed. Too often they
oppose the poor, defraud the friendless
and are swayed by the power of in.
fluence or the prestige of wealth.
The situation is not quite as despe.
rate in this country now as it was a
few years ago. During the recent
months some influential criminals
have been detected. tried, convicted
and punished. The servants of the law
are on the trail of others. The pro-
spects are brighter than they have been
for years. Popular discomfort is dim
inishing. Popular confidence is being
| restored to those courts whose Judges
are showing themselves the servants of
righteous judgement.
We have long way to go. All the
evils have not been eliminated, all the
wrongs righted. 1t is still true in
many instances that eastern methods
are pursued by those who ought to be
without stain or reproach. The Grim
inal who Is able to hire an able and
unscrupulous attorney or to bring
powerful influences to bear in his be-
half still escapes too often unwhipped
of justice. Too often the poor wretch
who has neither friends nor influence
goes into retirement for a long term
of years, or even to the gallows, while
his guiltier neighbor, who is resource
full, and powerful, escapes
Nevertheless improvement is discern
ible. The people realize that they are
still the governing force in this coun-
try, and are showing marked dis
position to use their power. They will
use it not for the purpose of putting
sham reformers into power, but that
they may promote the ends Of Justice,
dignity law, enlarge the sphere OF
truth and hasten the millennium. They
will use to emphasize the fact that al
men, no matter what their position
must obey the law and that other vita
fact that all are entitled to the pro
lection of tho law. They will use il
to put into the judicial office, begin
ming with the justices of the peace,
strong men, pure men. sympathetic
men, wise men, to the end that the
law may be honestly and impartially
administered, not huckstered out tt
the highest bidder. and that justice
may be dealt out always to all mer
without fear or favor.
The people want to trust the courts
They want to believe that the judge
are invincible to any argument save
that which the law presents. The.
know that many of the judiciary ar,
men of stainless character and unques
toned honesty. They intend that th,
number of good judges shall rapid,
multiply in this great republic, ant
that the failure of justice shall be tn

Give riitcheli the Credit.

The past year has witnessed fewer
criminal cases in Northumberland
county than any year during the past
two decades. This is said to be due
to President John Mitchell. of the
United Mine Workers, who advised
the members of the union to keep out
of law suits whenever possible, and to
Judge Savidge's condemnation of jus.
tioes multiplying and forming cases.

TEACHERS IN ROW
Blanton-S -Staudt Difficulty Assumes
Serious Phase

The article following is reproduced
from the Monroe Star, and in giving it
publicity in The Caucasian the purpose
is to correct fragrant inaccuracies:
Shreveport, June o-The Blanton-
Staudt public school difficulty, which
assumed an initial sensational color last
evening when Prof Staudt, assistant
superintendent, knocked DR. Blanton,
the superintendent, down in the central
school building because the latter called
him liar, ETC., ON account of a news
paper article, developed today into
ridiculous and at the. same time serious
shape. As a result Prof. Staudt, who
has in his possession resignation,
which he says was written June 8, was
fired bodily from all connection with the
local schools, and Dr. Blanton received
from the discharged member of the fac
ulty challenge to fight to settle the
matter, which is now the talk of the city.
This morning when the facts in the case
began to spread through the city, Presi-
dent Smith of the School Board visited
the central school, entered the room un-
der the direction of Prof. Staudt, and
not only told the latter that his services
were needed no longer, but saw that he
| immediately severed all connection with
the place. It is understood that pre-
| liminary investigation was made prior
| to this, but further investigation of
1.-THE affair is anticipated when the excite
ment cools down. This morning DIR.
Blanton made an early visit to a local
newspaper Office, with a view of having
1.-THE matter suppressed. Prof. Staudt was
lin the Office at the time. The editor,
lrealizing the possibility of a renewal OF
yesterdays disturbance at the school
lhouse, upon seeing DIR. Blanton ap-
lproach, closed the door, thus preventing
1.-THE two teachers from coming together
i Friends of both sides are endeavorine
Ito avoid additional difficulty. Last night
Fit was stated that DIR. Blanton was
slightly dis6gured, but today it devel
loped that he was not hurt by the fight.

IN CASE OF FIRE
A Delay of One or Two Minutes May
Lead to Disaster.

Yesterday afternoons Chief O'Brien of
the fire department was in attendance at
the meeting of the Parish School Board.
He was there to plead for the pupils and
the teachers attending the public schools.
In practical presentation of the
conditions of the school buildings,
las they are constructed, he pointed
out the disadvantages in case of fire and
impressed forcefully OH the mind of his
hearers the disaster which may follow a
delay of one Or two minutes in giving
the alarm of fire. He cited the recent
destruction of the Genevieve Orphanage,
where valuable time was lost in giving
the alarm by telephone and by fire alarm
box which was not in close proximity
to this edifce
He had been asked why the engines
were rushed at breakneck speed in go
ing to fire and he explained the i'm
portance of getting the first water on
the fire i'll the quickest time possible A
delay of one or two minutes would prob
ably give advantage to fire and place
it beyond control.
pointed out the deficiencies in fire es-
capes and the impossiblity of escape if
the fire originated from the basement
would cut the egress to the stairway and
urged the necessity of superceding the
system of telephoning with the ''auxil
iary fire alarm which should be fixed in
every school house He demonstrated
the simplicity of the mechanism which is
always effective and instantaneous. 1t
was quick as a, fash and so arranged
when in practical use as to give the
alarm of fire to the engine house the
moment it is touched in the school
house. What was wanted was quick
system of alarm, impossible by tele
phone, which when wanted may be
busy and valuable time is lost when
seeking fire box which may be two
or more blocks from the school house
The cost of these appliances was dis
|cussed by the board and at future
meeting will be devised the ways and
means.
1t may be said in all earnestness that
the question before the school board is
important and can not be minimized
There is no telling when a disaster by
fire in school building may occur and
it is now in order during the months OF
vacation to provide these necessary safe
guards in the protection of the pupils
and the teachers of our schools.
Money! What is money when meas
ured by the lives of our boys and girls
and their teachers?
Chief O'Brien is commended for his
practical suggestions, which are timely
and will awaken the people to realiza-
ton of the safety of the pupils and the
teachers of our schools.
The Caucasian. (Shreveport, La.) 1900-192?, 1907-06-11

which, however, has been exaggerated.
The origin of the controversy is traced
to an anonymous publication in The
Times rejecting on Prof. Blanton and
his school management, which was
traced to Prof Staudt, who should have
refrained from such publication. His
grievance, if he had once, could have
been directed to the School Board :;
therefore he was not justihable in an eff
fort at discrediting Prof Blanton We
would have it we'll understood that The
Caucasian is no apologist for Prof
Blanton, who can we'll take care of him
self Prof. Staudt, having conceded,
when queried, that he was the author of
the article, the sequel followed, and
he could not be kept in good standing
in the Shreveport school by the School
Board.
There was no effort at .rcealment by
The Caucasian, whose rule is to never
notice street fights, personal encounters
or police court proceedings, except in
cases involving felony If The Cau-
casan were to witness fight between
two of its citizens and assisted in sep
arating the combatants, not line of
public notice would be given the en-
counter Therefore the statement that
this regretful affair was suppdessed by
The Caucasian is incorrect.
However, III view of the facts as they
are, it is to be regretted that the article
reproduced from the Monroe Star
should have been published
