CANDIDATE PHARR.

(COntlnued from FIRST Page.l
gan his political career as an APP
pointee of William Pitt Kellogg in the
darkest days of the reconstruction
period.'
''The Democratic organization, con-
sisting largely of the seventeen ward
leaders and their allies on the State
Central Committee and ticket, form an
oligarchy more powerful than ever be-
fore in the State," he continued.
"Some say the time is now ripe for a
political revolution, but it remains to
be seen whether you voters will sit
still under the whip cracked by San
ders and his colleagues.
81 realize your dislike OF the word
Republican. because it recalls har-
rowing scenes Of the past, but look
back fourteen years and you will see
that we have accomplished much good
in that time. You will say that there
was only one Republican in the Con-
stitutional Convention. True, but
that convention, which eliminated the
negro from politics, was given to the
Republicans as a solemn pledge in
Baton Rouge, in 1896, when it was
said that if We would not press our
claims by force of arms We could have
the convention. Therefore, the Re-
%publicans are responsible for the elm
nation of the negro from politics, and
we are working for his still further
elimination"
Mr.. Pharr then referred to the fact
that Mr.. Denegre had been elected
United States Senator over Senator
McEnery, ''or would have been. but
for the arbitrary ruling of the man at
the head of the Assembly, and Nc
Emery has been wise enough ever
since to vote with the Republicans in
the United States Senate on every
measure" He also referred to John
Sharp Williams declaration that the
Louisiana delegation in Congress was
neither Democratic nor Republican,"
and the speaker urged the election of
out.and-out Republicans.
At this point Mr.. Pharr renewed his
declaration that he would not sit in
the Chicago convention with a Louis
lana negro, and that his party would
not tolerate the recognition of the
Black-and-Tan element of the State.
In regard to an alleged letter from
former Governor Warmoth to Mr..
Pharr, in which he protested against
the latter's attitude on the negro
question, Mr.. Pharr said:
"As far as l can remember 1 have
never had a letter from Gov. War
moth in my life, and, further, if Gov.
WarmOth and other Republican, try
to send a negro to Chicago l will de-
nounce him publicly from the stump.
This is my answer to Mr.. Sanders"
In addition to these statements, Mr..
Pharr repeated the questions he has
asked Mr.. Sauders, as to his attitude
on taxation, consolidation of the large
number of levee boards, race track
gambling and the liquor question.
In con>!usion, he stated that the
fight against the negroes in the State
was not a fight of parties, but of
races.
During the course of his ad.
dress Mr.. Pharr received fire.

forward was not gained without a
hard struggle against practices and
abuses that through long years OF
standing had rendered the public
school system of Louisiana of very
doubtful utility.
This vantage ground gained by
hard and faithful work must be pre-
served to the children Of Louisiana,
but to do SO will require determined
and unremittlng efforts on the part of
the friends of education. Present
school laws will have to be strengthen.
ed and new one enacted, giving
more extended powers to school boards
than they now enjoy. and making it
possible to maintain the present high
standard of supervision so essential
to the continued onward progress of
the schools. Without trained or pro-
fessional supervision of the schools
the work OF education in our midst
will retrograde in place of going
forward, in the same way that q rail-
road services will become unreliable
and dangerous if the running of its
trains is put, in the hands of incompe-
tent and inexperienced conductors and
engineers.
If the people expect and require a
high order of intelligence and ability
in the conduct OF the ordinary and
material affairs of this life, how much
more particular and exacting ought
they to be in a matter which concerns
the highest welfare of their children
and of the racer If education means,
as it undoubtedly does, the teaching
of not how to live in the mere mater
ial only, but in the widest sense;
how to use all u faculties to the
greatest advantage of ourselves and
others; to look up through natures
God-then there can be no pains too
great for as to take in choosing the
kind OF teachers and the kind of
school supervisors with whom must
rest in q very large degree the welfare
OF our children and the nation.
Whatever else may happen, the cause
Of education can moi be neglected; the
training OF the mind and character of
the rising generation lies at the very
foundation Of good government and
good citizenship.
And in the final analysis it Is upon
the school boards of the land that the
responsibility rests chiefly, of provid-
ing good schools for the children I'M
der their jurisdiction. AS it is the
early training which lasts the longest
and that most strongly influences life
and character, it is OF the utmost i'm
p0rtance that the education Of children
should be in Trustworthy and compe-
tent handle. To do this-to place the
child in the midst ofsurroundings and
under benefcient influences that tend
to develop the hand, the heart and the
head for useful and noble ends. is the
sacred obligation imposed upon
boards Of education; and much, and
valuable, assistance in the faithful
discharge of this great trust may be
gained through 3 cultivation OF the
spirit Of cooperation between mem
bers of school boards as individuals
and acting in . collective capacity.
And the attainment Of so sublime an
object IL worthy of our highest and
most patriotic endeavors.

A REGULAR
School of Telegraphy
Organized and Opened
at the
Southwestern Louisiana
Industrial Institute.
Lafayette, La.

We have succeeded in securing the
services of Mr.. John I. Hulse, formerly
train dispatcher at Beaumont, Texas,
on the Sante Fe Railroad, to conduct
the School of Telegraphy, devoting
his entire time to this work, which will
begin December l, 1907.
The eight hour law, which will go
into effect January l, will require three
telegraph operators for all positions
where only two are now sufficient.
Therefore the demand for operators
will be greatly increased. For several
years to come no telegraph operators
will ever be out Of . job unless he
strikes.
Write to us about entering; also get
a catalog of the Institute, with full in
formation concerning all departments.
We have a large brick main building
and two large brick dormitories, one
for each sex. !.

Ia. SCHOOL BOARD.
(Continued from First Page.)

(Continued from First Page.)
SO busy making money and mothers
so deeply absorbed with CLUB and
social duties, that their children are
almost entirely dependent on the
school for their mental and moral
training. This is not a theory but a
condition. . grave condition tina
must be met by school boards and
teachers, and which calls for the ex-
ercise of good judgment, intelligent
effort ard high devotion to duty in
its solution.
A unifcation of boads of educa-
zion, then, can be made to accomplish
two specific objects. First, promote
their efficiency in conducting the
more strictly practical and business
branchss OF their work. Second,
bring the school boards into closer
relstion with the theoretical work OF q
school system, and, consequently,
nearer the teaching force and the
more vital and far reaching interests
Of the school.
Generally speaking, members OF
boards Of education. when they re-
main in isolated groups, are apt to
believe that their whole duty consists
ii building school houses, employing
teachers and purchasing supplies, re-
curing NO further thought or dis
oussion beyond pscifying q local
nommunity. The average school
board member believes that his whole
school system is "all right when
natssrs between the board, teachers
md the public are harmonious.
Gkandards Of excellence involved by
cormparlson are almost unknown to
Hin. Progress has, IS q rule, been
nede by the professional portion OF q
sehool system 1t the risk of oppo-
salon and defeat. Many school
bosrds have, It may be said, OBJ
structsd rather than promoted the
professional or theoretical work.
The value OF cooperation through
State and national association Of
school boards IN overcoming the
aroyinciAl and Obstructive spirit in
nchool administration can not be
bvereatimsted. Such associations
not only become . powerful factor

panss Of education, but they tend to

JUDGE GARY IS OPTIMISTIC
Head of Steel Combine Says Outlook
for Business Revtvnl IL
Good.

NEW YORK, July 7.-E. H. Gary, chair
man of the board of directors of the United
States Steel corporation, who sails for
Europe tomorrow, made an optimistic
statement today on business conditions
He said:
From the viewpoint OF the United statea
Steel corporation. the iron and steel busl-
ness has been better during the last two
weeks than at any time since the depres-
sion last October. The tendency since the
beginning of the calendar year has been
toward Improvement, with some fluctua-
lions until the readjustments in prices
were made in the early part of June, when
the placing of orders in most lines war
practically suspended. This was because
many OF those who were contemplating
additional purchases were in doubt as to
whether or not there would be further adj
justments. However, there seems to be a
general feeling that bottom prices have
been reached. The necessities OF the pur-
chasing community arc greater than ever
before, and the ability to pay is greater
than ever before. or course, the latter
part of the statement is subject to some
modification. Many Of the railroad COM
paEies are at present embarrassed by
reason OF the lack Of funds, but their
hlAAlNultltS VIII surely, even llOuBn grad
ually be overcome. Many Of the railroad
companies have already taken steps to
finance their requirements and all are be-
ginning to realize that money is plentiful
and cheap and easy to obtain when first
class securities are offered. All that is
required to bring about satisfactory bust.

feet confidence and that appears to be
near at hand, In many lines OF bushes:
there is no ground for complaint. In some
departments of the agricultural implement.
trade for instance, the sales per day ar,
now the greatest in the history of thC
country. This shows TO a demonstration
two things:
That the farmers, the great wealth pro
ducers OF the country. have confidence Il
financial conditions and that they are sat
isfied with crop prospects for the year
This basic conditions OF the countr,
are sound. First Of all the moral tone O
