The New Orleans Morning World
calls attention to the fact that the aver
age salary of a public school teacher is
less than that OF street sweeper IN
that city. Nothing strange about
that, and the reason is obvious.
The street sweeper has vote and can
be depended on TO cast it as the WARD
boss orders every time, whereas most
of the school teachers are women and
cant vote. It's votes, not education,
the bosses are after.

Fraud Rampant and Triumphant.


When the Democratic state central
committee announced the humiliating
conclusion that it was without au-
thorfty to go behind the returns of the
fraudulent primary election that eu-
chred James ]. Bailey out of the
nominate for lieutenant governor,
it was stated that the courts were open
to Mr.. Bailey for the redress of any
wrong he may have suffered. The
fimfammed candidate accordingly app
pealed to the courts, with the result
that Judge Sommervillle of New Orle-
ans decided that his tribunal was
without jurisdiction, because Mr..
Lambremont-not the state committee
was the proper defendant in the suit.
and that the proceeding should there
fore have been instituted at Mr.. Lam
bremont's domicile, the parish of ST.
James. This decision was affirmed by
the supreme court, to which Mr.. Bal
ley had promptly appealed. Recog-
nizing the utter futility of further eff
fort in that direetion-for it would
have been Impossible to properly pre-
sent the proofs OF city frauds before a
distant country court, even if he was
noe already barred by the laws time
limit-Mr. Bailey gave up his hope.
less contest, finding that the supposed
afforded by the farcical pri-
mary law for the righting of wrongs
growing out of the violation of its
provisions, was a delusion and
snare.
The outcome of this attempt on the
part of defrauded candidate to Sc
cure justice at the hands of the Demo
cratic party. and failing that, from
the courts OF the state, presents
spectacle that should bring blush of
modification and shame to the face of
every decent citizen of Louisiana, and
more particularly every Democratic
citizen.
Is fraud to be forever rampant and
triumphant in this state? There is
but one source of relief from this in
tolerable condition: the voice OF the
people as expressed through the bal
lot box; and even this will be clogged
and closed unless determined men and
measures intervene to prevent the po-
liticaf bosses aud their criminal I'm.
.derlings from falsifying the outcome
OF the general election as they did that
of their partY1s primary.

james j. Bailey, the young man
who was euehred out of the Demo-
cratic domination for lieutenant gov
ernor by the election frauds committed
IN the interest of his opponent at the
recent primary, travelled a rocky road
IN attempting to secure redress for the
Injury. He was told b. the Demo-
cratie state committee that no power
vas lodged ID that body to go behind
the falsided returns, and that his rem.
edy was TO be found IN the courts. He
accordingly lied suit before Judge
SommelviIles who lost little time in de.
q ding that he is without Jurisdiction.
An appeal was taken to the supreme
court and that tribunal affirmed
