"I have always been in favor OF

We know it must be all true for
after Mr.. Taft had ordered and the
committee had elected Hitchcock
for Chairman, and Sheldon for
Treasurer, MIR. Taft and the COM
mittee seemed rather doubtful how
MIR. Sheldon. the banker Of 2 Wall
Street, New York, would be regard
ed by the voters, so the following
certificate of character and prom
ise of publicity was given out OH
cially:
"Mr. Sheldon is selected on
recommendation Of Cornelius
N. Bliss. He is president Of the
Union League Club, Of New
York, and was the Treasurer OF
the Republican State Committee
during the campaign of Mr..
Hughes for Governor of NewJ
York, and rendered a complete
statement under the Publicity
law of that State of the receipts
and expenditures Of the cam
paign. This was one of the
reasons that induced his selec-
tion as the law of New York re-
gardiqg publicity will apply to
his action as treasurer Of the

What the other reasons" were
that induced candidate Taft and the
committee to select Mr.. Sheldon as
treasurer of the Republican Nation
al Committee can be judged when
we inspect the list of Trusts and
Corporations of which, according to
the Directory Of Directors" he is
actively connected with. Mr.. Shell

That candidate Taft dotes on Pub

course, natural, that Hitchcock will
publish every evening what he has
received and expended is doubtful
but that Sheldon will not rest any

Mr.. Wickiffe's Campaign.

Gratifying news reaches us OF
the interest being manifested in
Mr.. Wickliffe's campaign for
Congress-. Since speaking at

enthusiastic audiences at Amite,
Hammond, Greensburg and other
places.
He is being warmly received
wherever he goes and large
Wickliffe clubs have been organ
lied at Hammond and Amite
His prospects appear especially
bright in the Florida parishes, on
this side of the river, and in AS,
cension parish on the other side.
In East Baton Rouge parish the
Wickliffe men are engaged in a
systematic campaign which is ex'
pected to develop a heavy Wick
life vote,in that parish, notwith.
standing the fact that Congress.
man Favrot lives in Baton Rouge.
On Tuesday night, August

Elk Opera House and plans are
under way to give him a rousing
reception.
A special train has been en-
gagged to take a delegation OF

Modern Miracles.

Discussing with another, the
work of the late session of the
Legislature, and the unholy in
fluences that prevailed, the
question was asked, How did
theLocke bill ever pass?
THAT was a miracle" was the
reply.
Yes. but modern miracle.
The miracle of an urgent press
backed by the sentiment of the
people. A miracle capable of
frequent accomplishment when
this combination occurs between
the two great powers: press and
people.
The Locke bills passage was
a miracle. 1t was in response
to public opinion that a saving
number were gathered to pass
the bill. We believe the recent
happenings in the department
of Education" are another mir
acle, attributable to the same
cause.

Monopoly of Moral Courage.

Roast that Gilmore graft in
your papers said a prominent
New Orleans merchant to the
writer recently. well, if you
and few thousand others, had
voted differently in the last
election, the roast would not be
necessary" was our retort.
His reply was accompanied by
a deprecatory gesture and a low
ering of the voice, so that others
in the store might not hear him.
All of which leads to the OBJ
servation that moral courage on
public questions, where indl-
viduals are involved, is a rare
virtue among the commonalty,
and one which it usually dele
gates to the press.
And why should the press be
expected to have a monopoly OF
moral courage? Why should ii
alone be expected to roast graft:
1t is a privilege and a duty
but is not a prerogative that be-
longs to it alone. For little car
the press do unsupported by
popular opinion.
1t is like one crying in the de
sert with none to hear.
Supported by public opinion
it is a living force against graz
and other evils. But supper
does not mean lowered tone:
when wrong is discussed, ant
the subservient vote, when mel
and actions are to be passed upon

Candidates for School Board.

AS will be seen by the publish
ed proceedings of theparish exc
cutive committee, the persons
declared nominees without Op.
position as directors of the
School Board, are substantially
the same as compose the pres
ent board. From which it ap-
pears that the people are salts
fled with these public servants
a conclusion warranted by the
facts, in most instances. Our
present board is far above the
average. 1t is animated by the
spirit of progress and a conscien-
tious desire to promote the gen.
eral good.
The only fault that can be
found with it as a whole is, that
it is not sufficiently imbued with
the principles of home rule. 1t
takes it's instructions a little too
tamely from Baton Rouge and
has thereby been betrayed into
several acts dangerous in ten
dency, though no present dan
ger may be apprehended from
them on account of the high
character of the persons con-
cerned. 1t cannot be denied
however that there is Democrat.
ic error in them.
Our unfailing friendship for
the School Board, at a time
when it was severely criticised
and very unpopular, will excuse
our present frankness. We beg
the Board to believe that it is on
| ly on account of our fight for
home rule in the schools that we
are critical. We trust that
there is sufficient material in the
future board to make it, while
working for the schools, work al
so for true Democracy. We
hope to see the new Board
while not seditious or unruly
maintain it's rights under the
law-Which are few enough-anC
fight for more liberty, otherwise
it's dignity will be lost, and it,
functions be limited to passing

The Teachers of the Parish.

WI cSoAhAS w )dufUllS OI bIle
schools:
Miss Mabel Moore has been
re-engaged for the Star Hill
school to the satisfaction of the
patrons of the school. Her work
has already proved her worth
and I need say no more about
her, except that we are fortu.
nate in being able to induce her
to stay in the parish.
Miss Mittie Pemble of Nor
wood will teach the Freeland
school. She is a graduate of
Silliman Institute of Clinton, La.
and is first grade teacher of
several years successful expert
ence. Supt. Lunsford of East
F'eliciana commends her very
highly and regrets her leaving
his parish.
Miss Nellie Richardson will
teach the Baines' school again.
Last year was her first as a
teacher, and I am frank to say
that | never saw a young high
school graduate do such excel
lent work as was done every day
by Miss Richardson. She has
many of the qualities of the good
teacher, and bids fair to become
one of the states best. She is
now in the State Normal at
Natchitoches to better equip her
self for her work.
Miss Willie G. Garrett of Don
jacksonville will teach the Wake
field school and will bring to her
work such qualifications as only
long experience, a thorough edu-
ucation, a cultured mind, con-
tinued study, and an earnest
spirit can give. She is a gradu
ate of the State Normal, and is
now in Knoxville, Tenn. study
ing for a broader preparation
and deeper inspiration for her
work.
The Poplar Springs School
will have the same teacher it had
last year, Miss Alma Pemble.
Miss Pemble's work last year
was earnest and efficient and she
will be prepared to do better
work next session because of the
experience gained last year.
The Grange Hall school will be
taught by Miss Eleanor. Thorn.
who has taught there before and
will be gladly welcomed back by
many of her former pupils and
patrons. A transfer wagon will
be run this year to this school
and it may be necessary to en-
ploy an additional teacher; if so,
the house will have to be remod-
eled and enlarged, and | shall
endeavor to establish here a
model country school.
Miss Irene Ryder will teach
the New Hope school. Miss
Irene is a product of our coun-
try schools as she has attended
no other. She was in the tenth
grade in the Poplar Springs
school last year, attended the
Summer Normal at Winfield in
June, and secured a second
grade certificate in the examina-
ton held last week. [ believe
that she will make a good teach
er and want to impress upon the
New Hope people the Importance
of sending their children to
school regularly, as no teacher
can do her best work unless the
children attend more regularly
THAN the children of this school
have been doing.
Miss Blanche Tabor will teach
the Tunica school again, and her
work has already made her good
