Greedy and Grasping Institutions.
claiborne Guardian-Journal. |

The Constitution originally pro-
vided that the Legislature should
not appropriate beyond a certain
amount for the support of the
State schools-State University
and the Industrial. Immediately
after it was adopted movement
was inangurated to amend the
Constitution by taking away this
limit. The Legislature passed an
amendment to that effect, that was
ratified by the people. The limit
was wise provision of the Con-
stitution. These educational in
stitutional institutions had become
greedy and grasping. This is why
the convention put the limitation
upon them. But these schools
went to work and had it taken off.
They have grown to be political
power and can get the Constitu-
ton shaped to suit them. The
Legislature ought never to have
submitted such an Amendment,
and the people never would have
ratified it had they known the

AMERICAN BoTTOM.-The fertile
valley in Southern Illinois known
as the American Bottom and
tributary to st. Louis since it's
earliest settlement, stretches from

wrong the limitations were in
tended to and did prevent. These
State schools are not simply edu-
cational. They are political and
financial also. If the Legislature
keeps on submitting amendments
to the Constitution at the sugges-
ton of those financially interested,
we will soon have a considerable
part Of its most important pro-
visions taken way.

What the Papers Are Saying.

What the Papers Are Saying.
Memphis Commercial Appeal:
Judge Parker is true blue Dem
ocrat.
Norfolk Virginian-Pilot: Not
Foraker alone, but the whole Re-
publican party has sold out to the
Standard Oil octopus. The only
difference is that Foraker's price
is paid in the shape of attorneys
fees, while the party's price is
paid in the form of contributions
to the Republican doughbag.
Foraker's crime is bad enough;
the crime of the Republican party
is infinitely worse. The lesser
criminal will probably be retired
to private life; shall the greater
one be kept in control of the gov
ernment which it has debauched
and betrayed?
Roanoke Times: Everything is
a failure-if we attempt to meas
ure it by the standard of perfec-
ton. Popular government can,
therefore, be no exception to the
rule. 1t is human to err, and it
would be ridiculous to suppose the
establishment of government
that was superior to the people
whom it is intended to govern.
Therefore, if popular. government
ultimately proves a failure in the
sense that it fails of the purposes
for which it was designed, the
people alone are responsible. II
we become weary of self-govern.

The State Press.

New Orleans Picayune: The
affairs of human society must be
founded on truth, honesty and a
due sense of duty, and these
principles must. be instilled in the
children at home and at school.
Without such a basis of character
education is of little permanent
use.
Monroe Star: The money spent
for liquor during the past 100
years of our history would build
and equip six lines of railroad
from the Atlantic to the Pacific,
endow university at $40, ,O00, 900
in everyState, erecta a $4,000 school
house for every 200 inhabitants;
build $4,000 church for every
1000 inhabitants; pay the ma
tional debt, and, with the rest of
the money at interest support a
teacher for every 100 inhabitants
Of the country.
Abbeville Idea: AS Commits
sion ridden State, we believe that
Louisiana is without close second
in whole Union. Whenever an
evil. fancied or otherwise, is to be
regulated, (the proper way would
be to abolish it) the problem is
solved (by the politicians) by or
dering the appointment of a Com
mission. The Governor appoints
the members of the Commission at
a nice little salary, the Commits
sion appoints an attorney at fat
salary, (paying him,of course, for
all extra work) to give them legal
advice. The Commission also
appointsa few hundred inspectors,
werdens, etc., whose hardest work
is drawing their salaries, and the
taxpayers foot the bill.
Acorrespondentofthe Claiborne
Guardian-Journal says: Louisi-
ana is already burdened with
pensions. Every man who holds
office and renders no beneficial
service othe people isa pensioner.
Our Legislators are pensioners
because they do nothing but waste
the peoples money and create
new offices, and every one thus
created is place for a new pen
sioner. The amendments that
have been submitted to the voters
for the past few years for ratifica-
ton shows very clearly what they
would do if there was no Consti-
ltutional limit; and is-the common
people continue to neglect their
duty at the ballot box, the time
may come when they can sliE
through an amendment giving tc
themselves unlimited power.

AN OLD RAILROADER IN TOWN.
Tom Kingsley Finds Comfort In
Recent Publication.

Tom Kingsley, veteran railroad
man, who has been spending a few
days in the city, was much rejoiced
but said little about it. over an item
in the papers yesterday that a gen
tleman at Waxahachie had. at the
age of 81 years, stepped into the
matrimonial harness. 1t was a June
wedding and one of the most notable
in Texas this year Taking heart over
this event, the colonel figured up,
with the aid of d few friends and
found that he had yet few months
left in which to take the step he has
so long desired. 1t turned out that
he had passed the eightieth mile
post and had months to spare before
reaching the eighty-irst.
For forty-five years or more he
represented the Louisville and Nash
Vile road in Texas and during that
time became acquainted and friendly
with not only the leading railroad
men of the state, but with thousands
of other citizens, who learned to APP
preciate his friendship and other de-
lightful qualities that have been his
all these years. 1t was shortly after
second visit to Texas and at that
time he was real pioneer of rail
road men in Texas. representing an
outside company. A biographical
sketch of him would, by force of
circumstances. be an interesting fea
ture of railroading then and up to
the present time in Texas. 1t would
show the ups and downs and the
trying conditions that surrounded
his kind of work at that time. 1t
would tell what he was often up
gainst and how he pulled through.
all of the hindrances that had to be
met. 1t may be also stated here that
he has chaperoned or escorted more
Texas young men or boys and girls
to schools and colleges outside of
the state than any other agent ever
did in the Texas work
! In his early days he was a close
personal friend of the most success
full and prominent railway officials
| of the early days. These were such
officials as Thorne, Waldo, Faulkner
| Gibbs, Quinlan, Swanson, Ripley, O.
/ G. Murray, now head of the Big
Four, Hoxey, Polk and many others,
