SENATE BILL NO. 6,
/ Condensed from New Orleans Picayune

Condensed from New Orleans Picayune.
After the longest and one of the most
spirited discussions that has ever taken
place during the present session, lasting
nearly two hours, Senate Bill No. 6 passed
the House of Representatives by vote of
IS to 81. The measure is one of the most
important that has come before the AS
sembly. 1t was severely attacked on the
ground that it practically put into the
hands of the Governor and Superintendent
of Education, through the State Board of
Education, the control of the educational
system OF the State and Indirectly the Sc
lection of all school teachers.
When the motion was made that the bill
pass, Mr.. L. +. Thomas moved that it be
indefinitely postponed.
Agreeing with Mr.. Thomas, Mr.. T. w.
Nettles of Red River declared that the bill
was nothing but one that would establish
a governmental monarchy out of the State
superintendent position, and put him in

Judge Watkins has been a faithful,
painstaking representative of the people
since his first election and has grown more
Jealous as his field of usefulness has been
enlarged by practical experience.
Besides the meritorious measures he has
introduced and in the interest of which he
has zealously worked, Judge Watkins has
stood by the peoples interest every time a
vote was taken on measure. Even be-
sides this it would be task to catalogue
the private personal favors he has rendered
his constituents while at Washington. One
could hardly imagine the number of trips
Judge Watkins makes to the different de-
partments ofthe National governmental one
session of Congress. 1t would be equally
difficult to imagine the distance involved
in visiting those great office buildings,
which service is free to his constituents.
The welfare of the farmer, the rural free
delivery of mail, the improvement of our
Southern waterwads, securing appropria-
tons for public buildings and many other
services have been rendered by Judge
Watkins-who has been representative
indeed.

Lake ChuIes Press.
We agree with the able editor of the
Press. The people should be trusted in
all affairs of local and State Government,
but the head of the departure of E,duca-
ton in this State, who has long sought
to entirely ignore the will of the people in
the administration of the office he holds,
has at last succeeded in wrestling from the
people their right to control their schools,
and instead of being 'trusted more" the
people will not be trusted at all by the
departure of Education

In opposing the bill, Mr.. Ira q. Wall OF
East Feliciana declared that the advocates
of the measure were backing what would
be nothing but beneficent despotism.
''This is not true Democracy, for the true
theory of Democracy is to allow the people
to exercise their right over all local affairs.
No people are entitled to any better gov
eminent than they themselves will choose.
The people of a community have right
to say to the Parish School Board who
shall teach their children
Speaking in behalf of his motion to
postpone the bill, made at the beginning of
the discussions, Mr.. Thomas said that the
State Board itself were not capable of
judging of the qualifications of superin-
tendents. He referred to the personnel of
the body, showing how few of its members
were practical educators. 'When you
come to deal with the question of politics
we are all human We are all somewhat
selfish in motive" He told of how in the
past politics had played a part in the affairs
of the State Board of Education, and said
that the past was the only guide we had
for the future. 'sDon't put the temptation
before them, he pleaded The principle OF
self-government was to be taken away
from the people of rhe parishes by this act
He did not care whether the bill under
consideration was an Administration
measure or not. What concerned him was
not who or what were supporting it, but
his duty to the people. The State Super
intendent was not an infalible man. The
speaker at this point read extracts from
Thomas Jefferson's statements on educa-
tisn, showing the opinions of the great
Commoner on the subject that the people
should have the sayso about who should
be the teachers of their children and man
age their educational system.

A true history of Louisiana's part in
the great Civil War should be written
without further delay. In order to do this
correctly it is necessary to provide for
securing the material by creating the
office of Commissioner of Confederate
Archives,' for the collection and preserva-
ton of the States military records, these
records to form the basis for the history
This laudable measure deserves the sup
port of every patriotic man in the State,
aud, adopting the sentiments of the Monroe
Star, there should not be any two opin-
ions about the propriety, the duty of the
State, in rendering this assistance, in fact
taking over the work and having it done.''

mt constitutional Amendment to the
people to give the Louisiana State Uni
versity one fifth Of one mill of the State
taxes And an exchange, indorsing the
measure, says "this will remove the excuse
for the University to figure III politics. y
While we are very much opposed to the
large appropriations made to the Unlver-
sity and other institutions of learning when
the common country schools are so much
in need Of financial assistance, we are
"almost persuaded to stand the raise, in
order to get this most formidable institu
ton out Of the political arena, keep it from
lobbying, and confine it strictly to its le-
ultimate business. We are in favor of
the State doing all that it can for its
schools, and then if the schools dabble in
politics and form combinations for the pur-
pose of boosting self-important men into
office, we favor ousting the offending pres
idents and principals. However, the State
is in no condition to increase its appro-
priation, and the Legislature should reject
the onerous demand of the Baton Rouge
University, and give more literally to the
needy and far more deserving country
schools of the State.

INDIAN CHIEF TO THE HUNTING
GROUNDS OF FATHERS.
AN INDIAN OF The OLD TYPE
Wah-shun-gah, Chief Of kaw Tribe,
Dead at Age Of Eighty Years.
Had Lingered to See His
Tribal Glory Pass.

Kaw City, Okla, Feb 2G.-Wah-
shungah, chief of the Kaw tribe of
Indians, is dead. He was one of the
few surviving Indians of the prim-
itive type, powerful i'm body and
mind, a warrior and statesman. but
withal given to the memories and
traditions Of his past and his people.
He stood as a lone figure in the
shadows that have fallen upon the
old frontier days, gazing mutely upon
the changes brought by white men.
Mentally he was strong enough to
see that civilization was best for
his people. but his heart was re
sponsive to the time of Pontiac, Red
Cloud the Sioux, and Whirlw.nd the
Cheyenne, and Caucy, chief of the
Usage.
Wah-shun-gah was about so years
old at his death. A man who knew
him well says that Wah-shun-gah
belonged to the progressive class of
his race and was strong factor
in leading his people into the ways
Of the white man. In his labors
for the Kaws he was earnest and
vigilant his keen judgment and bus.
| mess acumen being an equal match
for those who attempted to profit
by the ignorance of the people
whose chief he was.
Though accepting the superior ways
of the white man in all things, he
yet refused to discard the feathers
and blanket that were his joy and
pride in the days before the advent
of civilization and when the wide
prairies of the west was his range
